I just thought of this I just thought of this

Nathan walked into his one bedroom apartment. He sighs. "Great, all alone again." He went and looked into the fridge. "Great, nothing to eat." Then he thought of a brilliant plan.

Haley is serving coffee to a costumer when the bell rings on top of the door. She looks to see who it is. She goes to a table that calls her over while Nathan goes to the counter. As soon as Haley leaves the table she was at, the customer slaps her on her ass. Nathan glares at the guy. Haley goes behind the counter and leans on it and smiles at Nathan. "What do you want?"

"Now that's no way to talk to a customer." He smirks.

"Well, the customer is always right."

"Yes I am."

"How may I help you sir?"

"First, I would like a kiss and then how about coffee and the special."

Haley gets him his kiss and coffee. "Well, the special is me spending the night at your apartment tonight."

"Why are you spending the night."

"James Family Reunion. I usually stay with Lucas until they're gone but figured I could stay with you. It's okay if you say no I can stay with Lucas. I mean I know he wouldn't mind. He's used to it…."

"Hales, you can spend the night. You can spend the whole week there."

"I will be spending the night all week. I have to get my stuff at my house. Can you drop me off after I close up?"

"Sure. I will stay for the rest of your shift."

"Thanks, Nathan. I love you."

"I know." She gasps. "I so don't love you right now."

"Yes you do."

"Lord knows why." Haley smiles and attends her customers.

About 15 minutes later, Lucas comes in. "Hales, I heard that there is a James Family Reunion in town."

"Yes there is."

"I guess we'll be having our annual week long sleepover."

"Actually, I'm staying with Nathan."

"Really?"

"Don't be so surprised. He is my boyfriend."

"But he might try something."

"He won't. I already had this discussion with him. He knows my boundaries."

"Alone with Nathan for a week, he'll try something."

"He won't."

"Well, when he does, don't come crying to me."

"He won't."

"I hope your right."

"I am. I have to get back to work."

"Okay, I'll be on the roof."

"I'll have Nathan bring you some pie or something."

"Yeah, I need to talk to him." Lucas walks over to Nathan. "Hey Nate, can I talk to you on the roof."

Nathan looks to Haley who is now behind the counter. "Sure he won't kill me?"

"I'll tell his Karen he killed you and then I would say he killed the father of my child."

Nathan looks to Lucas. "See, now you can't kill me, who will father the future Nathan Scott Jr."

"We are not naming him Nathan Jr." We will name her Evelyn."

"No, we will name her Allison Mae Scott."

"Her middle name won't be named after you grandmother."

"Do you realize your discussing an imaginary child's name?" Lucas said looking at both of them.

"Right, I have customers." Haley goes to the customers and takes orders.

"Nate, I need to talk to you."

"Sure." Nathan follows Lucas to the roof. "This is cool."

"Yeah Haley and I play here so much and we have a tournament once a year."

"Next Saturday, right?"

"Haley told you."

"Yeah, we came here. She showed me when we exchanged I love you's to each other."

"So I guess you love her."

"So much."

"She wants to wait."

"I know. I respect that." There was awkward silence. "You know I'm not that bad."

"I can have my opinion can't I?"

"What would Haley want? I think she would want you to at least be friends with me."

"I don't wan to be friends with you. I know somewhere down the line, you'll break her heart."

"How do you know that?"

"I know you. What I can't understand is, why you're still with Haley. She's not gonna have sex with you."

"It's not about sex with Haley. I love her."

"And she loves you."

"I know."

"Well, since she will be spending the night with you, the whole week actually, there are a few things you should know."

"Like?"

"She sleeps on the right side. She loves a bowl of Cocoa Puffs before bed. She also snores."

"I do not." Haley yelled coming behind Nathan. "But I think Nathan would know if I snore or not. After all this wouldn't be the first time we had a sleepover."

"What!"

"After that game where he collapsed, he spent the night and we fell asleep in each other's arms." Haley is smiling right now.

"Fine, I guess I approve."

"Thank you, I'm ready to go, but I need to talk to Luke for a minute."

"Sure." Nathan takes Haley's keys and leaves them alone to talk.

"He's really great."

"I know and he loves you too." Lucas looks at Haley concerned.

"I promise I have condoms."

"Gross."

"Nathan has condoms."

"Gross." Haley is laughing. Thank god you're kidding.

"I have pepper spray and I took that women's defense class with my mom."

"Good. So, you approve?"

"Yeah, he told me he loves and respects you."

"I know. Can I go?"

"Yeah." They hug and Haley leaves.
