"Wow. Haley James had a major melt down." Brooke said sighing as she looked towards Peyton. "Why didn't either of you bring this up last night. Girl's night. Hello? That was the perfect time to let it all out. Sheesh. I feel out of the loop." She said moping into her cereal bowl as Peyton laughed, leaning against the counter to stare at her.
"I think she just wanted to have fun. She went off on your brother too." Peyton added, not noticing the way Brooke's ears perked up on the last comment. "Besides I wanted to talk to you alone about it. So, I'm telling you now."
"Well…what did you wanna talk about that you couldn't say in front of Haley?" Brooke asked using her spoon to gesture to her friend to continue. "Peyton I think I'm getting gray hairs here." She said after a few more minutes of silence. It must be really good to make Peyton Sawyer nervous.
"Why'd we start hanging out with her Brooke?" She said quickly. Almost too quickly, it took Brooke a minute to register what her friend was asking.
"What? Why would…"
"I mean out of the blue Nathan's hot for her. I mean, good for him and all, but let's be real, Haley's not exactly his type. And then were best friends with her. I like her, yeah. She's a nice girl. Totally. But one day were making fun of her in the hall way and pouring drinks down her shirt then the next were having sleep over's and pow-wows. What happened between then and now? Cause I sure as hell would like to know. And I'm sure Haley would like to too."
Peyton took a deep breath and studied her friend. To say the least Brooke looked shocked. What Peyton didn't know was whether it was because she was onto something or because she had taken the girl by surprise. But she wasn't leaving until she found out.
"I…I don't know. That's something you'll have to discuss with Nathan. He's the one who likes or. Or… liked. I don't know Peyton. Honest." Brooke said trying her hardest not to brake and just tell her about the bet. Haley was a sweet girl… but Brooke Davis never backed down. And by the looks of it, it sounded like Nathan would be shortly. So all she had to do was hold out until then.
"Yeah, alright. Um…I have to go. Dads in town and wants to have lunch. I'll call you later." Brooke just nodded watching her walk out, not moving until she heard the door close.
"NATHAN!"
OTH
"So, you want call it off." Nathan smirked at his sister from the bed as she continued pacing. She had just filled him in on what happened in the kitchen and as much as he was starting to like Haley he….whoa freeze. Rewind. It was just a stupid bet. He didn't actually have feelings for the girl. Sure she irritated him when she kicked him out but that was all. Yeah, that was all. Irritation. Not like.
"I never said that." She said stopping in front of him, placing her hands on her hips. "Besides we never actually discussed what was on the line."
"What does that mean?" He asked, sitting up, intrigued.
"I mean, we discussed what you had to do and I did my part. Tutor girl looked pretty hot on her date. But we never talked about what would happen if you fall for her and don't go through with it." She said with a small on her face.
"One, I'm not going to fall for her. I don't fall for anyone. And two, I'm listening…"
OTH
"Coming, coming. Jeez chill." Haley yelled as she rushed towards the door. As soon as she opened it she wished she hadn't. "Can I help you?"
"You going to ask me in?" Nathan smirked down at her as he leaned against the door frame. It quickly disappeared when she mumbled a small 'nope'
"I still don't know what I did that was so wrong. First you're thanking me then you're kicking me out." He said trying to control the anger that was once again boiling up.
"I didn't kick you out, parse."
"Yes you did. In your own little do gooder way."
"What the hell does that mean?" She asked folding her arms across her chest as she slammed the door at her back. "God, I knew it! All of you being nice to me was just another way to dangle my life in my face, right? I'm a tutor Nathan. I know that. Tutor girl, and proud of it. You can stick Brooke or Peyton or, or Theresa. Hell you can go out with me a couple times. I'm not changing your grades if that's what this is about. And I'm certainly not sleeping with…"
She was cut off as his mouth crashed onto hers in a side splitting kiss. As Nathan hands found her neck, she was still trying to find out how they could go from arguing to kissing. And oh boy, what a good kisser he was. Haley was still dazed as she found herself putting her arms around his neck to bring him closer as his tongue grazed her lips begging for entrance. What the hell was she doing? She was Tutor girl and he was Nathan 'popular star athlete' Davis. When they finally pulled apart for a breath she didn't remembers how to breathe. His cologne was filling up her nostrils. She could still feel the pressure on her lips of were his just were.
"Go ahead and yell again. I just had to stop the rambling." He chuckled out, suddenly nervous at the way she was studying him. "I'll get you started." He said clearing his throat as Haley continued to stare at him. "This was never about grades. I mean if you could change them, I wouldn't stop you, but the thought never crossed my mind. As for girls…I have no control over them. Theresa's a bitch; she just needs to get over her self. And sex…well. Um…what?' He asked as she shook her head.
"No more arguing." She said as she grabbed his shirt and pulled him into her once again. Just as things were staring to heat up they heard a throat clear from the doorway.
"Eric."
AN: Well, I finally UD. I don't know whether it's good or not but I didn't get any reviews saying it was ok to delete it so I'm giving it a second chance. But I'm going to need some help.
1-What should
be at stake for each Brooke and Nathan if they lose the bet? I would
really like to know what you guys think.
2-Should Eric
be a friend who might be more and that causes Naley drama or should
he just be a relative, like a cousin or brother. Someone had said I
should add another guy into the mix, so I was thinking new neighbor
or something. Please review and tell me what you think
3-Also I'm
so sorry about the whole Lucas thing. I keep telling myself to put
him in here but I just keep forgetting. So you can probably expect a
guy bonding or Brucas bonding in the next chapter.
Please R&R and tell me what you think even if you think it's so horrible I should delete it now. Lol R&R!!!!
