Chapter 5

"So its Chase right?" Lucas asked the boy who sat in front of him.

'Yup, and you're Lucas?" Chase asked as Lucas nodded. "It's good to meet you man," Chase said stretching his arm out. "Yea you too," replied Lucas.

Nathan watched from the bar, he didn't like that Lucas was now accepting this guy in as if he and Haley were dating or something. Nathan shook the feeling from his head, she wouldn't do that, we're still married.

"I don't know about you guys but I love the whole corny love songs, they just melt my heart," Brooke said holding onto her chest and making a puppy face.

"They're not my type of thing but for one night I guess it's cute," agreed Lucas.

"Well since it's so cute, how about we go show how cute we are on the dance floor?"

Lucas rolled his eyes, "I should have kept my mouth shut."

Chase laughed as Brooke and Lucas walked away, "Your friends are great."

"Yea they are, I don't know what I would do without them," Haley said still keeping her eyes on the happy couple.

As soon as Brooke and Lucas got to the dance floor, Peyton walked up to the mic and welcome they're next performing guest, Aerosmith.

"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure"

"How about we dance now? It's a beautiful song," Chase asked.

Haley was stunned. She had never heard a cute guy admit that a song was beautiful. Haley had to agree, this was one of her favorite songs. "Sure," she agreed as he held his hand out and walked her over to the dance floor.

Brooke smiled as she looked over at Haley. They gave one another their winks but even Brooke could see that Haley would never dance with anyone the way she danced with Nathan.

Nathan walked over to the dance floor with Peyton. He never took his eyes off of Haley.

"Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing"

Nathan couldn't help but wonder what he would miss if he didn't put his act together and get the woman he loves back. Would he miss her? Would he want her back? Would he dream of her? 'Of course you would stupid, you love her,' he said to himself.

"I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time"

That was it! He had to go and cut in. No man should be dancing with her except for him and besides he didn't like the way the guy was getting way too close to her.

Nathan whispered in Peyton's ear and she smiled and padded his back. "Go get her!" she said as she winked at him.

Nathan walked over to her and stood in front of them. Lucas stopped dancing but Brooke just told him to leave it alone. Lucas gave in but didn't keep his eyes off of Haley.

"May I cut in," Nathan asked politely giving Haley a smile.

"Umm…does she know you?" Chase asked protective over Haley.

"She should, she's married to me," Nathan said.

'Oh, I'm sorry, I'll leave you two alone," Chase said as he walked away.

"Chase!" Haley called out as he turned back. "Thanks," she said.

Haley turned her attention back to Nathan as he put his arm around her and pulled her closer. She placed her arm on his shoulder and they began to move to the music in silence. Although it felt so right, Haley felt rather uncomfortable because she knew Nathan's routine. He would get all close and then at the end it was the same 'Haley I can't do this.'

Haley looked up at him, "Nathan I-" Before she could speak she was caught off guard when Nathan's lips met her in a passionate kiss. She wanted to let go so badly but she needed to stay there. She wanted to stay there, in that position, forever…
