Nathan answered his cell phone, "Hi Robin, I know I promised you that I'd take you to Diddy's party, but something came up."

"I'm I on the list?"

"Of course, feel free to go without me."

"KK hun, I'll be waiting for you tonight in my room," she replied in a seductive voice.

Normally Nathan would have loved the thought of Robin waiting for him. She was a great fuck, but tonight he was focused completely on Haley, there was no way he could screw this up a second time.

Nathan anxiously waited until the end of the ceremony and when Haley walked in she took his breath away. She had changed out of her evening gown and was wearing jeans and a tank top with her hair pulled back to one side, even though it was the simplest outfit in the world, she looked gorgeous. Nathan knew that he still had it bad, and only hoped she felt slightly the same way.

"So where are we going," Nathan finally asked, breaking the silence between them.

"Oh just to a bar a few blocks away, I'm good friends with the bartender."

Immediately thoughts began running through Nathan's mind, How good of friends? Damnit why did I assume she would wait for me?

Sensing the panic on his face she chuckled slightly, "Him and his boyfriend own the place."

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he still had a chance.

They walked towards the bar, heading away from the crowd of people hoping to get a glance of their favorite celebrities. As they walked they caught up on what was happening in each other's lives.

"So you're a big basketball star Nate, living the dream, is it everything you could have ever hoped for?"

"Almost, but not everything Hales."

She blushed, thinking that maybe just maybe he was talking about her. Although Haley missed Nathan, she knew that she was not going to easily give her heart to him again. He broke it once, and she was not the same girl that she had been in high school. She wouldn't let him do it again.

As they approached the bar, Nathan held the door open for her. As she walked in the bartender looked up, "Hey Haley, OMG is that Nathan Scott? Wow my boyfriend is like your biggest fan, he's never going to believe this!" Nathan gave his cocky smile at the compliments, he knew he was a big star, and fame had never really bothered him. He didn't get too caught up, but he didn't deny that he was a star.

Haley and Nathan settled in a booth, sitting opposite each other. They were just about to order some drinks when they saw a flash outside the window. They looked at each other, "Paparazzi!" they said in unison.

Instinctively, Haley grabbed Nathan's hand, Joe, the bartender, tossed her the keys, and they left through the back door. She jumped into the driver's seat and Nathan got in on the other side. Laughing they looked at each other "Now what?" inquired Haley.
