Saturday Night Live
Payton pulled up in front of Jakes place and just sat in her car for a little while thinking about how her Jake got started. She was so very much in love with Jake and it was amazing how they have only been together for a short while, but it was like he was always there in the back round waiting for his chance to make his feeling known to her.
Flash Back
It was another one of Brooke's infamous Saturday night bashes. Payton had just arrived and was looking around the party for her boyfriend Nathan. She found it strange that no one had seen him. Nathan was known as the party king. He never missed one. Not knowing what else to do, she headed out to the guest house witch was off limits to all party goers. But to her surprise when she walked in, she was not alone. Sitting on the couch watching TV was Jake Jagleski. She felt her blood run cold. She was always nervous around Jake. She always was attracted to him but never thought anything of it because she was taken by the big man in School. Nathan Scott.
"Hey. How's it goin'?" She said putting her hand in her back pockets and giving a nervous smile.
"Oh hey Payton. How are you?" He said sitting up in his seat.
"Oh I'm fine. What are you wathin'?" She pointed at the TV before taking a seat in a chair off to the side of where Jake was still sitting.
"Saturday Night Live. I'm not much of a party guy actually."
"So why come to one then?" She said in a teasing voice.
"I came to see about a girl actually. But when I got here I didn't see her. Where Nathan?"
"You know...I don't know." She laughs.
"I never knew him to miss one of these things."
"Yeah me neither. But I guess there's a first time for everything."
"Yeah. I guess so." They both fell silent.
"So why aren't you in there now looking for this girl you came here for?"
"Well because I know for sure she's not in there now."
"Now how do you know that?"
"Because I'm looking at her." Jake stands up and walks over to Payton. He takes her hand and stands her up. Silently in the background you could hear the music from the party switch to a slow song. "May I have this dance?"
"Ok." She says smiling at him as he pulls her close and starts to slowly sway to the music. "Jake I...you know I'm with Nathan."
"Not right now." He says pulling back a little to look her in the eyes. "Payton I know I may not have much of a chance with you because you are in a relationship. But I have to tell you something. Ever sense I laid eyes on you, I was completely taken by you. You would walk in the room and you'd take my breath away. I may not know you well, but I love you. You have this inner beauty that shine through to my soul. I have wanted you sense our first day of school."
Payton was completely taken aback by his words. Nathan would never talk like this. She knew she wasn't in love with Nathan. But could she risk hurting him? She cared about him. But being there in Jakes arms she was questioning everything she knew about her relationship. Then without thinking she looks Jake in the eyes and before she knew it they were kissing.
End Flashback.
She let out a small sigh and got out of her car. She grabbed the movie bag from the back of her car and then opened the trunk to grab the rest of her things. Jake asked her to stay with him for the night. She let herself into the house and placed all her thing just inside the door. She heard music coming from Jenny's room. When she got closer she realized it was Jake singing little Jenny to sleep.
I was never alive
Till the day I was blessed with you
When I hold you late at night
I know what I was put here to do
I turn off the world
And listen to you sigh
And I will sing my Angels lullaby
Payton could tell that Jake wrote this song for Jenny. The way he sang it to her just melted Payton's heart. It was cute the way he was with Jenny.
Know I am forever near
The one you can always call
Right now all you know to fear
Are the shadows on your wall
I am here close enough
To kiss the tears you cry
And I will sing my Angels lullaby
So tell me how to stop the years from racing
Is there a secret someone knows?
I will never catch all the memories I'm chasing'
I will never be ready to let go
And when the world seems cold
And you feel that all your strength gone
There may be one tiny voice
Your reason to carry on
And when I'm not close enough
To kiss the tears you cry
You will sing your Angels lullaby
Let this be our Angels lullaby
"Good night Jenny. I love you sweet heart. My little Angel." He leans down and gives her a kiss on her forehead before walking out into the hall where Payton is standing listening.
"Jake that was beautiful."
"Thanks. I wrote that the day she was born. I hope someday to record it and give it to her."
"I think you should. You're a really write and singer. Hey you know who else can sing? Haley. Brooke told me she hear her. I never knew that about her did you?"
"Yeah actually I did. We were in music class together. So what movies did you bring?"
"Oh umm actually I brought Saturday Night Live DVD."
"Saturday Night Live? Why?"
"You don't remember?" He gives her a look of confusion. "It was what you were watching the night we kissed for the first time."
"Oh my God you remember that?" He laughs at her before pulling her in for a kiss.
"I'll never forget it."
"I love you Payton."
"I love you too Jake. Now come on. Let watch some comedy." She grabs his hand and pulls him into the living room. They spent the whole night laughing and just enjoying the fact that they had one another.
A/N I know this is a short chapter. But I have discovered that I am not that good at writing Jayton. Next chapter is how Brooke and Lucas spend their Saturday night. And on a side note. Is it just me or is the writer of One Tree Hill really attacking Naley this season?
