Chapter 14a

Haley's eyes widened at the Blonde's revelation.

"Excuse me?" Haley had to make sure she had heard correctly.

Nathan…Girlfriend… trouble. Oh god please don't tell me he has a girlfriend, please, please…oh please….I will eat fruit and vegetable's for the rest of my life! Err...Fruit and vegetables? I wish I knew what went on in my mind.

The blonde let out a soft giggle laugh and slouched down on the black leather sofa in the office before looking at Haley.

"Okay so let me re-phrase that…I am Nathan's ex girlfriend"

Oh thank god for that, but ah I guess it will be fruit and vegetables for the rest of my life WOPPEE! God Haley shut up about the fruit and vegetables.

"But…once I explain everything to Nathan, I will be his girlfriend at the end of this week." Peyton replied flicking her curly hair over her shoulder.

Maybe not!

Haley kinked her eyebrow up in confusion "But…err…"

Peyton took one look at the confused young girl and couldn't help but suppress a small laugh…she then patted the space next to her on the black leather couch indicating for her to sit down.

"Let me explain…"

……………………………..

"You have got to be kidding me!" Nathan groaned as he listened to what his brother was saying.

Peyton was back? This is not what I need right now….

"No dude, I am sorry but I am not. She is sitting in your office right now" Lucas said patting Nathan on the back. He felt bad for his brother…he knew he fell in love with her, and he also knew that he felt heartbroken when she just got up and left, whether Nathan admitted it or not.

But saying that, he also thought Peyton was good for Nathan…she kept him in his place…although…he has been getting on pretty fine this past month without her here….

"Do you know what she wants?" Nathan grunted. Seriously, Peyton back was NOT a good thing. She just messed with his head when they were together…or kind of together…well when they were involved in more than a friendly manner…and he was not up for all that again.

God, trust damn Peyton to make his day turn from great to completely regretful in all but 2 seconds.

"Umm…she said something about explaining something to you…" Lucas alleged. When Nathan ducked his head in-between his arms which were crossed on the desk, Lucas sighed "Look man…if u want my advice I would listen to what she has to say…I mean for all you know she may have a very good reason on why she left"

Good reason?? Good reason?? Are you joking??

"I know exactly why she left!" Nathan declared, sinking his head even further into the table

…………………..

"So you just left him?" Haley asked completely shocked by the story Peyton had just told her.

I want to hate this women so much….but I just can't. Haley thought as she looked at the pretty blonde. Sure…when she first said she was Nathan's girlfriend she wanted to strangle the woman …Nathan as well! But sitting here listening to how her and Nathan finished things off, how Peyton had to get married to a rich old man to get money for her fathers hospital fee's, with Nathan knowing none of that…it made her feel kind of sorry for her.

A part of me still hates her though….

"Yeah, he said the only way he would be able to loan me the money was if I would get married to him for at least a year…it was alright at first…"Peyton thought as she remembered the sort of bliss her marriage held in the first couple of weeks. "He gave me the money and everything was great…my father went to the hospital…he is now recovering…I had a nice place to live…I actually told myself hum maybe I could hack life in this marriage…I had forgotten about Nathan…well maybe not forgotten completely…but I was happy you know" Haley nodded her head trying to give Peyton the vibe that she understood…but really…she had no idea!!!

Just keep nodding

"Anyways…one day I caught him sleeping with the maid so I thought…Na I am out of this marriage! My father's hospital bills were paid for…I had nothing to lose!!" Peyton smiled "So that is why I am here…I want to explain everything to Nathan…hopefully he will understand…you know if he is with anyone?"

YES!!!! ME!!! Haley so badly wanted to scream….You had your time with him honey…now it's my turn! But then the romantic side of Haley saw how much this girl loves Nathan…and if Nathan loved her back, who was she to keep them apart??

After all, I am all just a bit of fun …I think

Swallowing a deep breath Haley steadily said "Umm, I am not sure…you would have to ask him"

At least this way I will know if Nathan wants to be with me or her… Haley thought. If when Peyton asks him he says yes, Haley would be ecstatic and would fight for hell for him…cos she really did like him, but if he said no, well then she would know that Nathan loves Peyton…meaning the end of his and her relationship…well whatever they have going on.

Please say yes!!!!

…………………

"I don't want to talk to her man" Nathan quietly muttered as he shifted through files on Lucas's desk, trying to keep himself occupied.

Lucas started to burst out laughing, surprising Nathan. Nathan looked up from the stack on the desk and gave an evil glare towards his brother. "What the hell is so funny?"

"You" Lucas simply stated.

Nathan let out a 'humph' sound and went to pick up a sheet of plain paper so that he could screw it up in a ball to throw at Lucas's head.

"Hey!" Lucas whined whilst rubbing flattening his blonde hair down. "Chill out man" he then walked over towards his desk so that he could sit opposites Nathan.

Chill out?? How am I supposed to do that???

"Look…all you got to do is ask yourself whether you still love Peyton or not? If you do, talk to her man and see what she has to say"

…………

The girl's conversation was brought to a stop when Peyton's cell phone started ringing. Peyton took one look at her phone and meekly smiled at Haley.

"Umm…I have to go" She said quickly, gathering up her bag and jacket. "But hey…Haley is it?" She asked just to make sure. When Haley nodded she gave her a big smile "It was really nice talking to you…Nathan sure has hit it gold with you as a personal assistant…you seem like a great girl"

See that is exactly why I can't hate her!!!

Haley's face lit up with a false smile and returned the compliment "You seem like a lovely lady too…oh and it was nice talking to you."

Peyton gave Haley one last smile and made her way towards the door…however, the fast force of the door opening and Nathan standing in the doorway, brought her actions to a quick stop.

"Hey Nathan" She brightly smiled.
