A.N.: Thank you readers and reviewers! I've uploaded both of these chapters at the same time so fans of both couples are entertained. I'm not sure where or how far this story will go so feel free to let me know ideas and if you want more :)

Nathan sat on the end of the double bed in the centre of the room he had just guided Haley into. He wanted her to get know him on a deeper level than the one that came from her being his tutor, so he chose his own room instead of a guest one. She closed the door behind them both, and stayed next to it, playing with the edge of her jacket uncomfortably.
"Hey," Nathan reached his hand out to her, "Have a seat here." She accepted his hand and placed herself next to him, but not too close, on the bed, still avoiding real eye contact. "This is just a stupid game of Brooke's, we don't have to have sex," he assured her.
"We don't?" she asked him, wide eyed and relieved.
"Of course not," he laughed breathily, "We can just chat, or study if you want?" he joked to calm her. She lay back onto the bed, her short height meaning her legs dangled off the floor, though she had only moved about an inch. Nathan, being six foot two, did not have this problem when he copied her.
"I'm off the clock," she informed him, "Chatting sounds good though."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, tell me your favourite memory with Dan, I want to believe he's not all that bad," Haley requested.
"Haley James, trying to find the best in another person, I'm starting to believe that's your thing," Nathan said with a smile.
"I try," she blushed.
"Let me think, errr," Nathan paused pensively, "Well, when I was younger I went to Michael Jordan's basketball camp. I was about 10 years old, he'd pulled strings to get me in. On the first day Jordan was going to pick one of us out of the meet and greet line to play one on one with. I was so nervous, and Dan put his hand on my shoulder to steady me. When Jordan came by, Dan said 'This is my son, Nathan, he's got a great jump shot'. And I played one on one against the greatest player in history."
"Wow…" Haley breathed. There was a pause. "I'm waiting till I'm married."
"What?" asked Nathan, taken aback.
"Sorry," she said, slightly embarrassed and frazzled, "I just appreciated you telling me that, so I wanted to explain the sex thing."
"Oh," Nathan managed, before quickly replying in a better way, "It's ok, I understand, we don't have to anything you don't want to. Thank you for telling me," he assured her. Haley took him by complete surprise by reacting with a kiss.

She had no idea what had taken over her, but she wasn't regretting it as the kiss deepened. He'd opened up to her in a way she hadn't expected, and she had felt immediately connected to him on an emotional that she wanted to connect physically. Hence the kiss.

For what felt like an age, but was mere minutes, the two continued to kiss and explore each other's bodies with their hands. Their hands stayed above their clothes though per Haley's wishes, and Nathan certainly had no intention of disrespecting those. Unfortunately, Brooke's banging on the door opposite to them that concealed Lucas and Peyton, caused their eyes to open in a startled manner and they came apart. As this happened, Haley caught sight of the chest of drawers in the room. On top was the study pack she'd made Nathan for his upcoming history exam. Inside there were pencils, an eraser, and a note from her wishing him good luck and telling him to call her if he needed anything.
"Why is your study pack out?" she enquired, "This party so boring you've been revising?" she tried to joke, but she was starting to feel uncomfortable.
"What?" Nathan asked, he was rather confused and disoriented after that kiss, and now the random question, "Erm, I dunno, I didn't get it out."

"Well someone's seen it Nathan," her voice and discomfort rising, "Have you taken it out and mocked me?!"
"No, Haley! What?!" he was thoroughly confused by how quickly the situation had changed, "I haven't at all…I wouldn't," he offered.
"I don't believe you," she stormed out as she said it. He knew he'd kick himself for it later, but Nathan couldn't bring himself to go after her, he was too confused and emotionally tired.
