So maybe that could explain why she acts the way she does. Yes you aren't reading things Taylor is the sister of Nate and Lucas. insert evil laugh Happy reading.

Disclaimer: I own none of the OTH characters. Only the stuff that comes from my little head.

"After last night it looks like neither one of us are going to have a chance with Brooke anytime soon," Taylor said looking at the tall blonde in the passenger's seat.

"Yeah that seems to be right. The thing is I never thought I had a chance with her. You were the one who decided to take advantage of her. Remember?" Peyton shot back looking out the window.

"Eh . . . whatever. You can't honestly tell me that if you had a chance that you wouldn't take it with Brooke. I saw an opening and took it. She didn't stop me, you know."

"You're some piece of work you realize that, right?"

"Yeah I know. It's part of my charm though. But honestly Blondie, I'm surprised you still haven't tried anything with Brooke. You've liked her for how long now?"

"Three years," Peyton answered still looking out the window, "but none of that matters Taylor. I love her. I want her to be happy and I know that Haley makes her happy in a way I never could."

"Well it's obvious that you like her. So you might want to watch yourself around her before the "Misses" figures it out and throws a huge fit about it."

Peyton chuckled at this, "Tay I love Haley but if she hasn't caught on by now she isn't going to. Thanks to your little stunt I'm the last person she's worried about trying to take Brooke from her."

"Well then I guess it looks like you owe me Sawyer."

"Like hell I do," Peyton said giving Taylor a huge grin. "So where are you taking us anyway?"

"We're going on a walk in the park."

"That sounds suspiciously like a date Tay," Peyton said glancing over at the girl beside her.

Taylor shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe it is. I really do like you Peyton. Even though I show it in the worst ways sometimes." Taylor parked the car, got out and opened the passenger's door before Peyton could process what she had said. Did she just say she likes me? "Right this way," Taylor said offering her hand to the other girl helping her out of the car.

"Why Ms. Scott aren't you being sweet today?"

"I try, I try." Taylor said smiling. Oh man this is working well. I really do like her and if I keep this up she'll be my replacement in no time. Stop this Taylor don't pretend like that's the only reason you are into her. She's sweet, kind, caring, sexy as hell, smart, pretty much anything you could ask for in a girl. Yeah but she's also in love with one Brooke Davis. I can't let myself fall any harder for her. Taylor lead the girls down the trail toward the fountain.

"I love it here," Peyton said once they reached their destination. "It's so peaceful and beautiful."

"Yeah it really is," Taylor said as she offered Peyton a seat on the edge of the fountain. "I come here a lot to think. Or to get away."

"So do I," Peyton said looking the girl in the eyes. She never really realized exactly how much she had in common with Taylor. They had never really talked at length. "It's crazy how much we have in common, you know that right?"

Taylor laughed. "Yeah it can be scary at times." They locked eyes again and sat there for several long minutes. Do I kiss her? I want to but should I? She's going to think I'm just using her.

She's going to kiss me. She's just using me. She doesn't even like me that much. She's just bored and since she can't have Brooke she might as well have me, the co-captain.

What the hell. Taylor thought as she leaned into kiss the girl beside her. Peyton saw it coming and before she could stop herself she pushed the other girl into the fountain, causing a huge splash.

"What the hell Peyton?" Taylor sputtered climbing out of the water soaking wet.

"What is your problem Taylor? You can't just go around kissing people because you're bored. You can't use me as your play toy while you wait for your next chance with Brooke. I won't let you hurt me like that again." Taylor stood there in shock looking at the other girl. Did she just say hurt her? Did I hurt her last time? "Don't look so shocked Tay. I do actually really like you." Peyton's hand flew over her mouth when she realized what she had just said.

Taylor smiled as she walked closer to the taller girl. "It's ok Peyt." Taylor said gently removing the girl's hand from her mouth. "I won't hurt you again. I actually kinda like you too. But I promise not to kiss you again if you don't want me to." With that Peyton smiled and wrapped her arms around the other girl.

"I guess you can kiss, if you really want to."

"Get back here!" Brooke yelled chasing Haley up the stairs to her room. "You cannot push me in the pool and expect to get away with it."

"Haha you have to catch me first Brookie." Haley laughed back. Damn she's quicker than I thought.

Brooke finally caught the other girl as she entered her bedroom. "Gotcha."

"Oh no!" Haley half screamed half laughed. Brooke had her in a tight bear hug. Haley was squirming trying to get free. She finally stopped. "Ok ok you have me now what are you going to do to me?"

Brooke lifted her off the floor and started walking toward the bed. "Brooke we're soaking wet. It's going to mess up your bed." This made Brooke laugh as she stopped.

"Good point Tutor Girl." She said giving her a quick kiss on the neck. "Thanks."

"No problem baby."

"Fine, I guess you're safe for now. Take your cute ass in there and change." Brooke said pointing toward the bathroom. "You can take a shower if you want and I'll go shower really quickly in the other bathroom."

"You sure? I can use the other one." Haley said smiling adoringly at her girlfriend.

"Yes I'm sure. Now go." She said swatting the other girl's ass as she walked toward the door. "See ya soon sweetie."

"Yeah," Haley said walking into the bathroom to shower.

About a half an hour later the girls had both showered and were laying on Brooke's bed just enjoying each other's company. Haley stretched out her arms and accidently hit Brooke in the head.

"Ouch" Brooke yelped.

"I'm so so sorry baby," Haley said trying not to laugh.

"Oh you think that's funny?" Brooke said trying to sound serious while rubbing her head.

"Umm...not at all," Haley said shaking her head on the verge of cracking up.

"Oh you're gonna get it now." Brooke said and with one quick movement she was tickling Haley.

"B..Bro...Brooke, stop." Haley said laughing uncontrollably. She wiggled and fought back until she had managed to switch positions. Brooke was now on her back with Haley straddling her, holding her hand above her head. "Ha . . . now who's got who?" Haley said laughing.

"Come on let go," Brooke said struggling to get free while trying to keep her composure.

"Say mercy."

"Never!" Brooke laughed as she continued to fight.

"Come on say mercy and I'll let go."

"Nope," Brooke said shaking her head. She looked up and saw Haley's deep brown eyes staring straight into hers.

"You love me?" Haley said staring down at her girlfriend. My God. She is the picture of perfection.

"Always," Brooke gulped nodding her head.

"Good," Haley said finally releasing her hold on the other girl. She leaned down, getting closer and closer causing Brooke's breath to catch. "That's what I wanted to hear." Haley whispered in the other girl's ear as she rolled off of her and layed on her side beside her.

"Oh my God, you tease," Brooke said hitting her playfully on the arm.

"Yeah but you love me anyway," Haley said tracing Brooke's jaw line with her finger.

"Yeah but I'm not sure why," Brooke joked as she laid her arm across Haley's waist. Haley looked at her girlfriend and realized for the first time since they had gotten out of their showers that Brooke's hair was still wet and she was just wearing an oversized T-shirt.

"You know, you're kinda hot when you're all wet," Haley said as she smiled, moved down, and started kissing Brooke's neck. Brooke let out a low growl which made Haley smile. Haley leaned back up and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Brooke playfully bit Haley's lip which caused a small moan to escape her. Haley then pulled away from the kiss and went back to Brooke's neck. She moved farther south, kissing Brooke's chest through her shirt, causing yet another moan to escape Brooke's mouth. Before Brooke knew it she felt Haley's small hand moving up her stomach.

"Oh my God, Hales." She couldn't believe the effect this girl was having on her with just a simple touch. Haley smiled at this.

"You ok Tigger?" Haley asked looking in her eyes.

"Never better," Brooke answered, passion, love and desire all flooding her eyes.

Mmmm this is going to be a fun afternoon. Haley thought as she started to remove Brooke's shirt.

The End. Well of this chapter anyway. So do you love me? LOL Any who... read review. Tell me what you like, dislike, or want from the fic or whatever.
