Haley was looking through the wedding plans that Brooke had started to put together a few weeks ago when she found out that Haley and Nathan got engaged. Since then, Brooke has been planning their wedding. Of course, Lucas and Peyton had made Haley and Nathan promise they wouldn't get married on the same day as them, so both Haley and Nathan decided they would have their wedding three months after Lucas and Peyton. While Haley was going through all the wedding details, she heard Nathan walk into the living room after his shower.
"Is that the wedding plan?" Nathan asked as he sat down beside her and looked over Haley's shoulder to get a better view of what she was looking at. "Jesus, does Brooke really think we need an ice sculpture?" he asked again, noticing the ice sculpture that Brooke had picked out for their wedding.
" Yeah, you know Brooke she wants us to have like the best wedding ever. She never takes no for an answer." Haley said with a snort as she kept looking." Did you know that she booked a live band for our reception?"
"A live band? I thought we wanted a DJ for the reception."
Haley nodded her head as she closed the wedding folder and set it down on the coffee table. "That's what I told Brooke," she said. "But she said that she asked if Mia could perform at our reception, and Mia agreed."
" Why do I get the feeling that Brooke is trying to make this wedding all about her?"
Haley snorted a little as she shook her head. "Brooke is just really excited for us, and you know how much she loves weddings," Haley said as she curled up next to him, draping her arm across his stomach and resting her head against his shoulder.
" Yeah, I guess your right." Nathan said with a chuckle as he wrapped his arms around Haley as he leans down and kissed her forehead deeply as he gently ran his hand up and down her arm.
" Oh that reminds me, I talked to my mom the other day and she's coming out here in a few days."
" Really? "
" Yeah, she wants help with the wedding and she wants to come out here, so we can go over with the details with Brooke and I." Haley said as she gently ran her fingertips across his bare stomach.
" Hales?"
" Hmm?"
Is everything alright?" Nathan asked with concern, knowing something was obviously wrong.
Haley sighs softly as she sat up and tugs a strand of hair behind her ear." It's Quinn, she was hoping that I would choose her as my Maiden of Honor. But when I told her that I wanted Brooke, she sorta got mad at me about it and we haven't talked since."
" Well it's your decision Hales and Quinn should just get over it."
" Yeah, I know. But I do feel kinda bad because she is my sister and we have been getting along great lately and I don't want Quinn to feel left out though." She said as she suddenly thought of something. " I know what Quinn can do, she can take photos of our wedding."
"But didn't Brooke already hire a professional photographer?"
Haley shrugs her shoulders."So?" she says. "I mean, it's our wedding and I'm sure Brooke will be okay with it." Even though Brooke is Haley's maid of honor and is practically putting the entire wedding together, Haley does have the final say.
Nathan nodded his head in agreement."Yes, it is our wedding," he said as he tilted Haley's face with his index finger as he leaned down and kissed her deeply and passionately, groaning softly against her lips as he placed his hand on her face while deepening the kiss even more.
Feeling his lips against hers, she felt Nathan deepen the kiss. She moaned softly as she shifted her body and without pulling away, she climbed onto his lap, straddling him. She continued to kiss him passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Nathan continued to kiss her more deeply and passionately as he slid his hand underneath her shirt. As he let his fingers graze the outline of her bra, he slowly broke their kiss and moved lower, kissing and sucking on her neck while he groaned softly.
Haley gasps and moans softly as he sucks on her neck; she slides her fingers through his hair. "Why don't we move this into the bedroom? Where we both can be more comfortable?" she whispers softly.
"Mhm, your wish is my command," Nathan whispered against her neck as he got up from the couch, still holding onto her. He hooked her legs around his waist as he continued to suck on her neck. As they walked into her room, he laid her down on the bed. Once she was laying down, he rubbed his nose against hers before smiling and kissing her deeply and passionately.
Haley walked into the store the next morning and found Brooke standing by the counter, counting money. "Hey, just the person I wanted to talk to," she said as she set her purse on the counter.
" Well, I'm all ears. What's up?" Brooke asked as she closed the cash register and gave Haley her full attention.
Haley answered quickly, "I want Quinn to be our wedding photographer."
" What about the wedding photographer that I already hired?"
" Just tell him that the bride wanted someone else." Haley answered as she shrugs her shoulders a little.
" Are you sure about this?"
Haley nods her head." I'm like hundred precedent sure about this. I would like Quinn to be the one to take photos of our wedding. I already feel bad enough that I didn't ask her to be my Maiden of Honor. So this is my way of letting her be apart of my wedding."
Hmm, well it's your wedding and you're the bride after all. I can call the wedding photographer and tell her that we wouldn't be needing her services after all." Brooke said with a smile.
Haley sighed in relief as she was glad that Brooke was happy. "Now, I just gotta go and tell Quinn the good news," she said with a smile as she grabbed her purse and walked out of the store, heading back to her car.
Quinn was sitting out by the pool when she heard the sound of the doorbell. Walking back into the house, Quinn looked at the camera and noticed Haley standing outside her front door. "Of course," she said with a sigh as she walked towards the door. Pulling the door open, Quinn looked at Haley as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Can I come in, please? asked Haley.
"If this is about your wedding, I really don't care," Quinn said, still upset and hurt that Haley had chosen Brooke over her as the maid of honor.
Haley smiles a little." Trust me, you're going want to hear about this."
Quinn sighs exasperatedly as she rolled her eyes as she moved to the side and let's Haley in." This better me good." She said as she closed the door behind her once Haley walked through the door.
" It is. I want you to be our wedding photographer."
" What?" Quinn asked as she really wasn't expecting those words coming out of Haley's mouth.
Yeah, I talked to Nathan last night about it and we both agreed that you should be the one who's taking our wedding photos. So would you be interested in doing it? Haley asked, hoping that Quinn will say yes and accept the offer.
Quinn sighed and shrugged her shoulders." Sure, why not. This way at least I can still be part of the wedding."
Haley exhaled softly as she was happy that Quinn had said yes. "Oh, thank you so much," she said as she gave Quinn a hug. "I really appreciate this." She said as she let Quinn go.
" It's no problem. So... is Taylor invited to the wedding?"
" Who says anything about actually inviting Taylor?"
Come on, Hales, don't you think it's finally time that you two bury the hatchet and work things out? I mean, she did apologize for everything she did on Thanksgiving," Quinn said with a sigh, as she just wanted her two sisters to get along.
Still hasn't changed in what she did or what I went through because of her," Haley said angrily. "I'm still not happy with Taylor, no matter how many times she apologizes. I still can't forgive her."
" Hales, what do you think is gonna happen? I mean do you actually think Taylor is going to go after Nathan?"
Haley shrugged her shoulders."It's not like it's the first time Taylor has stolen my boyfriend before," she said retortingly.
" We both know that Nathan will never leave you. Not for anyone especially Taylor. The guy asked you to marry him on Christmas and you're wearing the man's ring." Quinn said making a point.
Haley sighed exasperatedly and rolled her eyes. "I will think about it, okay?"
" That's all I ask for. Besides Taylor is going to be here next week." Quinn said as she shrugs her shoulders and smiles sheepishly.
Haley snorts a little as she shook her head. Haley would rather not invite Taylor to the wedding. But maybe Quinn is right. Maybe it's time that Haley forgives Taylor finally. Haley has clearly moved on and she's engaged to marry Nathan and there's no way Taylor could ever come between them.
