A/N: Well This is the first fic I've posted here, I started writing this a while ago, and lost inspiration.
But I've decided to pick it up again thanks to the wonderful ideas by Mel! Honestly without you I dont know If I'd be posting this now so thanks
You may have read the first chapter before but there is a lot more already written so that means lots of UD's only if I get lots of feedback!

Backround: Well its set around 15 years in the future, everyone is 32, Lucas never joined the basketball team back in High School, so never really mixed with Nathan. Therefore Haley never tutored him, and both went about as though the other didnt exist.

Can a chance meeting in a airport change the courses of their life?

Read on to find out (It may be a bit slow in the beginning but trust me it picks up )


"Would passengers flying to Tree Hill please report to Gate 6, That's All passengers travelling to Tree Hill report to Gate 6 please, Your flight is ready to board. Thank you" the overly cheerful voice boomed over the speakers of JFK airport.

The place was bustling with people, leaving and arriving. Some were saying their tearful goodbyes, hugging and embracing, others waiting to greet those who have returned.

All these emotions in one place, and there at the check in counter was one royally pissed off Haley James.

"I'm sorry miss but were going to have to ask you to step to one side…" the lady behind the counter told Haley.

Behind her was a long queue grumbling in annoyance at having to wait; Haley seemed completely unaware of the hatred her fellow passengers had for her.

"No! I know I have it! Its in here…somewhere…" she argued trailing off at the end, she was scrambling through her purse trying to find her boarding pass.

She was sure she had placed it in the zip pocket, she remembered double-checking everything, yet here she was ready to go back home and she couldn't find her ticket.

Beside her, was a little girl no more than five, dressed in a blue summer dress her light brown hair tied neatly into two pig tails, she tugged at Haley's jeans "Mum!"

"Not now sweetie" she brushed her daughter off, continuing to rummage through her bag. "But mum!" the little girl continued… "Look Abby if you keep on we wont be able to get back home!" Haley spoke softly before returning to her search.

"Miss."

"Mum…"

"Please would you just…"

"I really need to pee!"

"SHUT UP!" shouted a tense Haley, causing her daughter, the clerk woman and everyone else in the queue for that matter to stare at her oddly.

Running her hands through her hair hastily frustrated at the way her morning had gone. She slung her bag over her shoulder and picked up her daughter holding her against her hip.

"I'll be back!" she told the woman before heading off to find a toilet.

Strolling down the terminal, shades on, dressed in classic jeans and shirt, Nathan Scott, professional basketball star smirked as he passed various teenage girls giggling and drooling over him.

He knew he was gorgeous. He adjusted his shoulder bag and gave a cheesy hand wave and smile to the girls, leaving them squealing in delight.

Engrossed in the attention, he jumped slightly as his phone began to ring. Snapping it out stylishly he spoke with oozing charisma and charm which no one would be able to resist.

" Jessie! How's my favourite PA doing today?" he asked smoothly, his tone soon changed as he began speaking in a rather loud angry voice.

"What do you mean you cant get them? I only promised to sponsor them if they would make sure that they could attend anywhere I choose…" the voice on the other end was quickly trying to calm down a fuming Nathan.

"No! You don't understand…I am turning up in Tree Hill in less than a few hours and you're telling me they're not gonna be there?"

He went into tantrum mode, used to getting anything…and anyone he wanted, he wasn't used to not getting his own way, he took after his father and was a firm believer in discipline…that's what got him into professional basketball in the first place.

Rage pumping through his body now Nathan added dramatic hand movements, waving his arms around and twisting his body as Jessie was trying to settle things on the phone… he threw his arm back yet again; banging into someone sending their bag and its contents flying across the terminal floor.

"Oh God" Haley spat out bending down to pick up various items which had been sprawled out.

"Just do it!" Nathan spoke into his phone clasping it shut and sliding it back into his Jean pocket before bending down to help Haley pick up her belongings. She snatched the things
up and threw them in her bag.

"Are you blind?" she asked, still on the floor, seeing her boarding pass laying on the ground by his feet she smiled to herself and retrieved it…well at least one good thing had come out of this.

Nathan placed his most enchanting smile on his face and raised an eyebrow at her

"Well now I've seen you… you're beauty has blinded me."

Haley rose her head before shaking it appalled… " Oh boy!" she muttered looking back up at him, she saw his eyes were still transfixed on hers.

And for a few moments they just stayed like that, for an instant Haley saw something in those eyes… something familiar, but she couldn't think what… she stood up slowly dusting off her jeans, she felt his eyes still on her and she knew she had to ask him…

" Thanks…" she cocked her head to the side quizzically "do I know you?"

Nathan flashes her a cocky smile "It is extremely possible." He says huskily while throwing a wink in her direction.

"Hmm" Haley mused, this guy was a complete jackass, she lost interest quickly darting her eyes around the airport.

He continued, totally unaware of her lack of attention "Your sons might have posters of me."

Haley looks down at her girl; this was highly unlikely "Four daughters"

He flashed a grin down at Abby he chuckled softly " Well, they may have. Ya know..." He smirks and leans in to whisper by her ear "One of those juvenile crushes on me."

By now she had had enough, and began to walk off, picking up her boarding pass, and sliding it in her back pocket " Doubtful" she answered.

For some reason Nathan had this gut feeling that he should follow her, he does so, keeping a few paces behind "So I play for the Cavaliers." He told her, hoping it would impress her in some way, it worked on so many girls.

Haley really couldn't be bothered with this and with her back still turned she mumbled "Wonderful."

However a part of her mind wouldn't let her forget what she saw in his eyes Turning around she spoke hand on hip the other holding her daughters hand "But that still doesn't answer my original question."

Nathan had been to busy focusing on her figure he had forgotten her question "Which was?"

'Unbelievable!' she thought "Forget it." Haley sighed " It's pointless." Twisting back around she carried on back to Gate 6.

Just then Nathan puts his hand on Haley's shoulder. Annoyed She turned around, faced yet again with those deep intense blue eyes.

Nathan has a goofy smile pointing to his head "I got hit in the head a couple years back, I have short-term memory loss."

Any feelings of lust she had, soon vanished as she realised how thick he was, she narrowed her eyes at him "I feel my IQ dropping as we speak." And with that she finally began to walk away, this time she wasn't going to stop again.

Nathan calls out to her "you're charming."

Haley yells back over her shoulder "you're oblivious."

As she was engulfed by the crowd, Nathan remained fixed to the spot staring at where she'd disappeared, "now she was different" he muttered to himself before looking up at the screens to find his gate number.
