Brooke, Haley and Peyton lay on the beach, feeling the warm sun on their skin. The sky was clear and the waves were calm.
The girls sipped on their cokes as they watched guys playing football, people in the water playing and others just enjoy the day under the umbrellas with their families.
A middle aged man walked over to them and took off his sun glasses winking at each of them. "You girls single?" he asked with a grin
"You're old enough to be our father" Brooke stated completely disgusted
"Actually I think my father may be younger" shot back Haley.
Peyton laughed at her two friends as the man quickly walked away not wanting people to hear him getting rejected.
"That's too gross," Peyton giggled out as the girls joined in on the laughing
They're laughs were cut off when a football fell right at them, causing sand to splatter on them and Brooke's coke to splatter on her
"You stupid jerks!" Brooke yelled
"Wait, is that Lucas?" Haley asked trying to get a better look
Peyton looked into the distance noticing the familiar faces. Not only was Lucas there but Nathan was with him too.
"Pretty girl, I'm so sorry, Tim didn't realize it was you," Lucas met his girlfriend's eyes as he walked over to her and greeted her with a hug and kiss
"Hi boyfriend," Brooke greeted him back completely forgetting the incident that had just taken place.
"What are you girls doing here? You never told me you were coming to the beach" Lucas looked over at Haley and smiled
"Yea well your girlfriend dragged me out of bed this morning to come here" Haley told him, returning the smile
Nathan stood there feeling very uncomfortable. It had been months since he had seen that much of Haley's flesh. He missed it, her body, how hot she looked in pretty much everything she wore and her perfect silky smooth skin.
Peyton noticed the look Nathan was giving to Haley, they were both uncomfortable.
"Let's go in the water, Hales" Peyton suggested pulling her friend away with her so that she could finally breathe again
Haley smiled as she and Peyton walked towards the water, "Thanks so much, I thought my heart was going to drop"
As the girls walked away, Nathan turned watching his wife walk out of his sight. He hated that she was so hot and that so many guys would be staring at her.
Haley looked so hot to him. She filled that black bikini so perfectly. He loved how his jersey number tattoo was shown to the world; making it known that she was his, but yet not any more. He also loved the cute shinny stone that hang from her belly button. She and Brooke had gotten their belly buttons pierced the night Nathan told Haley to move on.
"You should take a picture, it'll last longer," Brooke stated as Nathan turned to face her.
"Better yet, why don't you just stop being a jerk and go back to her so that you can look at her like that whenever you want" Brooke smiled, "See, win win situation"
Nathan wished things were that easy. He would love just to grab Haley at that very moment and kiss her but he knew that things just couldn't go back to the way they once were, not now, not ever.
Nathan watched as Peyton and Haley splashed around having fun. He also watched how two guys made their way over to them. This didn't sit well with Nathan.
Lucas followed Nathan's gaze, "I guess you're not the only one to notice how hot your wife looks". Nathan looked at his brother with a jealous look and back at his wife.
"My name's Peyton and this is my friend Haley," Peyton smiled as they shook hands with the two guys.
"I'm Scott and this is my friend Matt, we're lifeguards here, you two need rescuing?" The girls looked at one another and laughed, "Maybe some other time," Haley giggled
"You got a cute laugh," Scott told Haley looking her right in the eye
"What's with the ring? You married or something?" Scott asked her
"Um actually-"Haley began to speak but Peyton cut her off "She's actually single, her grandma gave her the ring when she was little and told her never to take it off until the day she got married"
"Traditional girl, I like that" Scott winked at Haley as Haley could feel her cheeks turning bright red. She hoped that people would think it was sun and not the embarrassment she felt at that very moment
Scott placed his hands on Haley small waist, "You got a perfect frame, how is it that a girl as hot as you is single?"
"She just got out of a relationship, now we're both looking for new ones" Peyton smiled at the two guys
"I cannot believe Peyton and Haley are finding hot boys without me!" Brooke declared not believing her best friend would be so selfish
"Hi, I'm still here you know," Lucas told her
"Oh boyfriend, you know I love you," Brooke smiled kissing Lucas on the cheek
"I don't like how he's touching her man" Nathan told his brother
"Well Nathan, she's not your property" Lucas responded
Nathan began to walk towards where Haley was. "Nate, what are you doing?" Lucas quickly followed behind his brother
"She's still my wife! I'm not going to let some jerks touch her like that, I'm the only guy who should be touching her" Nathan shouted back to his brother
"This isn't good" Lucas told Brooke who was behind him, trying to keep up
Nathan walked into the conversation about Haley's tattoo
"I love a girl with a tattoo, what's the 23 for though?" Scott asked not paying attention to Nathan who suddenly appeared
"The tattoo stands for me, her husband" Nathan snapped Scott
"Husband?" Scott looked at Peyton and Haley puzzled
"Oh boy, this isn't good" Peyton quietly whispered
"I'm Scott," Scott introduced himself to Nathan
Brooke laughed, "Haley has something for Scotts man"
Lucas nudged her gently
"Look I'm sorry man, I didn't know" Scott gently tapped Matt's shoulder and the two guys walked away. "But if you girls are ever interested, you know where to find us" Scott shouted smiling back at them
"Telling people your single now?" Nathan quickly snapped at Haley
"Excuse me-"Haley snapped back
"Look, Nathan it's my fault, I told him that she was single" Peyton quickly jumped in trying to save Haley
"No Peyton, I got it!" Haley stopped her. "Who the hell do you think you are? You tell me that you want me to move on and forget about you and now that I'm just talking to another guy you fly in here trying to take charge of everything and acting like I'm yours?
"You are mine" Nathan told her
"No! I belong to me" Haley told him while pointing her finger to her heart, "Nobody else, not anymore." Haley calmly told him. She wasn't going to cry; she just turned around and walked away.
