-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitting around in their room Haley and Brooke were just talking. Haley was working on reading Titus Andronus by Shakespeare, while Brooke was flipping through bridal magazines.
"Oh my gosh who would be caught wearing that dress?" Brooke asked disgustedly looking at a dress.
"Well maybe someone likes it?" Haley said not looking up from the play she was reading.
"Come on Hales, its not like your wedding is another day. It's your day! I mean your wedding is the most beautiful and important day in your life and it should be perfect! Let alone the dress you wear and all those details." Brooke said using her hands to show how big a wedding is in a woman's life.
Finally glancing at Brooke, Haley just had to roll her eyes. "Brooke you haven't even set a date yet." Haley told her sister before going back to reading.
"Ohhh Hales…. So what if I don't have a date? Everything is about the organization! Plus it's never too early to start thinking about your wedding. I have a binder full of stuff that I want my wedding to be like. I want it to be perfect!" Brooke said seriously.
"It will be perfect, as long as you marry the man you love nothing can go wrong." Haley said with a bright smile, while thinking back to her wedding and seeing Nathan standing at the end of the aisle waiting for her.
Brooke sighed in frustration. "Haley you're so naïve! Marrying the guy you love is one thing but its not enough. You'll see when you get married." Brooke said knowingly.
Haley was getting irritated. Brooke doesn't know anything about weddings. All I want to do is shout. "I'm married Brooke and I had a small wedding but looking into Nathan's eyes during the ceremony made that the best day of my life." But I can't tell her that, Haley thought sadly. Eventually the news would come out but it's still too soon. She reminded herself.
"Yea okay Brooke" Haley said out of desperation to stop the conversation.
"I knew you would see it my way Tutor Sis." Brooke replied not realizing Haley was just trying to end the argument.
Looking at the book on her lap Haley bit her lip. She really didn't feel like reading right now. "Hey Brooke… um… when…I mean…why did you decide to get your tattoo? And why did you get the number 3?" Haley asked curiously.
"Why? Are you thinking about getting one?" Brooke asked interested.
"I don't know maybe" Haley replied nonchalantly. I want to get Nathan's jersey number on my lower back she added to herself.
"Well it's a really big decision. It took me awhile to think about it because it's permanent. But I love Lucas and so for our 2-year anniversary I decided to get the number 3 to celebrate 2 years together. I figured even if we aren't together 10 years from now, I wanted a reminder of how in love with him I was, and that he's a big part of how I changed into a better person. It took awhile to decide what to get, a book, the number 3, a basketball, or whatever, but in the end I'm really glad I chose the 3. Plus I wanted to put it somewhere where I could show everyone that I'm taken. I really love it" Brooke said reminiscing about getting her tattoo. "Oh but I was really scared getting it. I hate needles but I knew that Broody would love it and he did. He told me that it was one of his favorite presents" Brooke added smiling while looking at her tattoo.
"Aw that's sweet Brooke" Haley said smiling at her sister. "Crap is that the time?" Haley asked.
"Um yep" Brooke replied still in the haze of memories.
"Okay I gotta go" Haley said throwing her Shakespeare book on her bed and grabbing her phone and keys. "See ya later. Have fun" Haley called out behind her.
When she got to Nathan's room she stopped outside the room and caught her breath.
She walked in and saw Nathan lying on his bed, his eyes closed as a basketball game was playing in the background. Closing the door behind her and locking it Haley tiptoed to the bed and laid beside him. She laid on her side and started stroking his cheek. "Wake up sleepyhead" She said laughing softly.
"mmhmm you better leave before my wife comes here. We're suppose to get dinner tonight" Nathan said not opening his eyes.
"Oh so you're a married man?" Haley smiled playing along.
"Yep, but you know she's not here and you are." Nathan said stroking Haley's leg.
"Mr. Scott are you implying what I think you are?" Haley asked trying to hold in her laughter.
"Well…" Nathan said.
"Hmmm I like your idea" Haley said straddling him and kissing him passionately.
"Hi baby" Nathan said opening his eyes.
"Hey" Haley said this time laughing. "You better never do that with anyone else mister." Haley said poking Nathan's hard-defined chest.
"Only my beautiful wife" Nathan told her leaning up to kiss her again.
"You ready to go eat?" Haley asked.
"Hmm I say we lay here for awhile first," Nathan said holding Haley flush against him.
"Okay but only for a few moments" Haley said getting off his lap and lying next him, his arm coming to wrap behind her and bring her closer to him.
"You know I can't believe we've been married for a month," Nathan told her.
"Hmm yep it will be a month in 2 weeks and 1 day" Haley said smiling and looking at Nathan.
----------------------------------February 14th- Valentines Day.------------------------------------------------------
Brooke and Lucas were walking to Jake's for his little birthday party. Lucas put his arm around Brookes' neck and kissed her forehead.
"Come on cheer up angel." Said Lucas smiling at Brooke. "You like Jake right?"
"Of course I do!" Said Brooke with an annoyed look on her face. "I just think it sucks to spend Valentine's Day at his birthday party. Since when do people decide to give birth on that date?" She added seriously.
Lucas started to laugh. "I don't think his mum really got to choose. Come on..." He added giving her a quick peck. "We won't stay long."
"You promise?" Asked Brooke with puppy eyes. "I've got some great plans for tonight." She added smiling cheekily.
"Ohhh you do?" Said Lucas arching his eyebrows." Does it involve a naughty nurse costume?" He asked winking.
"No Luke…. It's even better," said Brooke defiantly. She had reserved a palace room and she bought some really indecent lingerie.
"Better than dirty nurse?" Asked Lucas smiling. "I think we can stay 5 minutes...Jake won't mind!" He added laughing.
---------------------Meanwhile at Jakes' apartment------------------
Jake was putting some plastic cups on the table where the drinks were already sitting.
Peyton brought him some bags of chip with Jenny in her arms.
They are so cute! He thought his heart melting. "Don't worry this isn't the way I planned our Valentines Day" said Jake trying to reassure Peyton.
Peyton walked to him smiling and kissed his lips softly. "I don't mind Jake," she said sincerely. "This day will be perfect as long as I'm with you."
Jake felt his heart tighten in his chest. He wanted to give a set of his flat keys to Peyton as a Valentines Day present but he was scared to scare her off. He intended to go see Haley in order to ask her opinion about it.
"I've got it all planned already!" He said kissing her back while Jenny was playing with Peyton's hair. "I've booked the nanny and reserved the restaurant," he added winking.
"I can't wait..." Said Peyton with a voice full of lust.
"Listen I need to go for about 10 minutes" said Jake looking at his watch. "I just need to pick up something from Haley's room. Are you ok with that?!" Asked Jake trying to sound normal.
"Of course!! Just go! I can deal with Jenny." Said Peyton with a bright smile.
Jake ran outside and ran into Brooke and Lucas.
"I'll be back in ten minutes guys. Just have a drink." Said Jake running to Haleys, not waiting for their answer.
-----------------------------Meanwhile in Haley's room---------------------
Nathan was there looking at Haley finishing blow drying her hair.
"What?" She asked laughing.
"Gosh you're hot!!" Said Nathan walking up to her. He took the blow dryer out of her hand and started to kiss her neck.
"Hmmm I love that." Said Haley closing her eyes.
"I've got a lot more for tonight." Said Nathan huskily.
"Yeah…. Your room or mine?" Asked Haley with a wink.
"Neither." Said Nathan sitting her on her bed.
Haley frowned confused.
"I reserved a nice hotel room and from the balcony you can see Dove creek." Said Nathan proud of himself.
Haley jumped into his arms. "Awww Nate that's so sweet! I can't believe how lucky I am."
"But we need to leave early if we want to enjoy the room as I want to." Said Nathan grinning.
"Of course my sweet husband" said Haley taking Nathan's chain off. She sat on the bed and kissed his palm. "You know… Brooke and Lucas already left" she said biting her bottom lip while putting the ring on his finger. "We've got some time left before we have to be there." She added to Nathan. "I'll…I'll close the door in a minute and maybe… we can have some wild marital sex before going." She added winking.
Nathan started to laugh and took off her chain. "You know I'm always up for some sex with my beautiful wife but be gentle." He added pretending to be serious "I still have the bite mark from last time". He added kissing her lips.
Nathan kneeled and put the ring on Haley's finger. "I can't believe I married you Haley." Said Nathan with a bright smile.
Jake made his entrance but neither Nathan or Haley noticed him.
"I thank god everyday for marrying you. I can't believe you're my wife and that I'm about to have some wild sex with you" he added aroused while smirking.
Jake couldn't believe what he was hearing. Married?
Haley kissed Nathan's nose and looked at the door to see Jake standing there. Mouth open. Fuck! He knows everything!!
Nathan saw Haley's face drain, like she saw a ghost. He turned around to see Jake with anger in his eyes.
"I…I" said Haley standing up staring at her left hand. Nathan put his hand on her back to bring her some comfort.
"You two are married? "Said Jake in complete disbelief. He was so shocked that he couldn't even shout.
"Yeah we are" said Nathan somehow happy that someone, and Jake in particular, finally knew the truth.
"That's the crappiest birthday ever!!" Shouted Jake finally realizing what was going on. "When did you get married huh? Yesterday?" He added walking into the room and closing the door.
"I…we got married last month" said Haley against Nathan's chest.
"We married on The 20th of January," said Nathan with confidence.
"You married on… Please!! I can't believe you did that Haley! You knew the guy for 6 months and you married him?" Said Jake like Nathan wasn't there.
Nathan decided to step in. "Actually you're wrong Jake." He said with a smile "we knew each other for 5 months not 6". Nathan wanted to push Jakes button.
Haley gently punched Nathan, "You're so not helping!!" She said but she couldn't contain her smile seeing Nathan's look of determination.
"You…" Jake was so exasperated that he didn't know what to add. "You don't leave me much choice," said Jake. "Thanks for this fantastic Birthday present!!" he added ironically slamming the door.
"What do you think he meant by you don't leave me much choice?" Haley asked worried.
"I don't know and I don't care," said Nathan raising his shoulder. "So…you're still up for…you know," he added pushing her to the bed.
Haley started to laugh. "I…you're such a perv! "
"Yeah but you like it!!" Said Nathan kissing her neck.
Haley nodded positively. "But we still need to go to Jakes later k?"
"Yeah…whatever you want". Said Nathan kissing her neck.
-------------------------------------
Jake walked back to his flat like a fury with his phone.
"How come you're happy for them?" Said Jake almost shouting. "I just told you that your daughter married a guy she barely knows and you're happy!" Jake sighed. "Well yeah…. I guess they love each other but…" He listened for a while. "No it's not enough!" He added like he was about to bite somebody's head off.
Nobody was talking anymore.
They were just staring at Jake.
"Okay I'll give you a call later." He added hanging up and throwing his phone against the wall.
Peyton walked up to him and gently put her hand on his arm. "Are…Are you okay?" She asked nicely.
"No…I'm not okay Peyton. You told me not to worry about them that they won't do anything stupid well you were wrong!!"
Peyton immediately understood that Jake was talking about Nathan and Haley but the other couple seemed completely clueless." Why? What did they do?" She asked worried.
"They're just walking morons!! That's all they are!" He said shaking his head. "You want to know what they did huh? They got married last month," he added looking into Peyton eyes.
Peyton's jaw just dropped. She was lucky to be near a chair so she could sit down. "I...I...wow!" She said still astonished "I can't believe they did that!"
"Well they did!" Said Jake still angry.
Lucas walked up to Jake confused. He didn't like to be out of the loop and wanted to know what the hell was going on. "Um Jake sorry to interrupt you man but who are you talking about?" Lucas asked trying to look Jake in the eyes. "Who got married?" He asked his eyebrows furrowed together.
Jake looked at Lucas and then at Brooke and gave a sarcastic laugh. "It's Haley. Haley got married. Haley got married to Nathan!" Jake said slapping Lucas's shoulder after looking at his and Brooke's shocked expressions.
"I…NO! They can't be married" Brooke said hurt and disbelief laced through her voice. She was hurt that Haley hid that from her. "Nathan said that he never wanted to get married," she added talking to herself.
"Believe me they did get married. They got married last month" Jake said his voice now calm realizing that he didn't need to blow up on anyone in the room. It wasn't their fault. "Nathan even told me they got married on the 20th of January. I'm sure you remember they disappeared for about two days. I guess you were wrong Brooke." He said shaking his head. "I guess they were stupid enough to get married."
At this moment Haley and Nathan walked in holding hands. They had kept their wedding rings on because they knew now that everyone was aware they were married. They looked at the faces of their best friends and saw in everyone's eyes a mix of anger, sadness and uncertainty.
Nathan put his arm around Haley's waist and pulled her tight to him. He could feel her stressed and wanted to protect her. After all he was her husband.
"You got married? That's what you were hiding?" Brooke asked looking at Haley like she didn't know her.
"I…yes" Haley said looking into Brookes eyes and not with her head held down in shame.
"I love Haley and she loves me. We're going to be together forever so we decided why not sooner rather than later" Nathan told the group before placing a chaste kiss on Haley's forehead.
"Haley I never thought you would be so fucking stupid." Jake yelled at Haley before looking at Nathan. "What the hell Nathan you wanted to fuck her so bad you had to marry her. You couldn't wait? How long are you going to actually stay faithful to her?" Jake screamed.
"I love Haley that's why we got married. It's not about sex. I would never cheat on her" Nathan yelled back pissed off that Jake had the audacity to say that he would ever cheat on Haley or that he married her only for sex. "And Haley is not stupid" He added his eyes a shade darker and holding anger in them.
"She married you after 5 months! She doesn't even know you!" Jake yelled fury and pent up anger and dislike coming through.
"And what do you know about love Jagelski? Huh? What Haley and I have is love. Just because you can't see that she isn't a little girl who needs her best friend for everything but a grown woman whose in love and married. I love her and she loves me and that's all that matters. If you were really her best friend you would support her with whatever she does in her life." Nathan said closing his eyes in frustration.
Opening them up he saw Jake's face still red with anger and behind him Lucas whispered "Congratulations." Lucas was really proud of his cousin and actually happy for the young couple, although he wouldn't tell Jake that. Nathan smiled before looking at Haley who was trying to hold in her tears.
"Lets go," He whispered before taking her hand and leading them to the door. "Well now you guys know why we hid it from you. You took it like we expected you too. I'm not going to stay here and fight with you while you hurt my wife," Nathan said looking at Jake. "Maybe we'll see you guys later" he added pulling a quiet Haley out the door and to his car. They got to the hotel where Nathan brushed the tears from his wife's eyes before pulling her into him and just laying on the bed and cuddling with her. He kept saying soothing words as she cried, which broke his heart.
