Chapter 4: Beautiful Apology

Nathan had ended up sitting there on the couch where him and haley had been sitting and enjoying their first night together, just the two of them. Their first date which he had ruined completely. It was all his fault. He couldn't help but sit there and think about the mistake, huge mistake, that he had made and how he could make it up to her. He wanted to do anything he could and then he realized just what he could do to make it great again, or to at least make them ok. He had some serious planning to do if he was going to get it right again.

Brooke was picking up Haley for school on Monday. She was incredibly worried about her. She had called her a couple of times and Haley didn't want to go shopping, go to the movies, or even talk about her date with Nathan Scott. Brooke pulled her usual routine of beeping for Haley and not bothering to get up and go in. She knew Haley would be ready for her and in fact waiting. "Some things you can always count on" Brooke thought as Haley stepped out of her house and climbed into Brooke very, very expensive car.

"Hi Brooke. How was your date with Lucas?" Haley inquired

"It was…..

FLASHBACK

Ding Dong

"Finally." Brooke said as Lucas entered her house "I thought you would never get here."

"You so impatient"

"Yup. That's me." Brooke said as she pulled Lucas into a long hard kiss. He pushed her up against a wall in her house. Their kisses were intense and filled with passion. They finally made it to Brooke's room and Lucas's shirt was discarded on the way. Lucas pulled away for a second and rested his forehead on Brookes. "Is…anyone…home?" Lucas asked, breathing hard from the "interaction" that had just occurred. Brooke simply shook her head no and went on with what they had started. Brooke pulled off her shirt and reattached her lips with his. Their kisses at the moment were hurried; their kisses seemed to be saying I-need-to-have-you-NOW. They continued their actions and when they finished they lay in bed, spooning.

"So, am I taking you to this dance coming up?" Lucas asked Brooke

"You bet you are, who else would take me?"

"Nobody. Your all mine"

"Possessive much. No, just kidding. Luke, I know this is really hurried and everything and you completely don't have to say it back. But, I love you. And this is the first time I have ever felt this way. I like you soo much and I want to be together forever and I just.."

"I love you too brooke. I didn't know you were one to ramble. Your just like Haley."

"Probably not the best idea to mention your ex-girlfriend while we are in bed together, babe."

FLASHBACK ENDED

"It was…….great." Brooke finished. Her and Lucas had told each other that they loved eachother and she had never been happier in her life. For the first time ever, she was truly happy and nothing was going to change that. They were meant to be.

Brooke and Haley rode in silence most of the way to school. Neither of them was very chatty today. They both had very big things on their minds that were preoccupying themselves.

Haley was dreading going into school today and facing Nathan. She had 2 classes with him and the tutoring session 5th period. She still couldn't believe that he had tried to go up her shirt and yet she knew that she had overreacted. She should have just stuck around and told him what she was feeling. She shouldn't have ran. Haley got out of the car and bid her goodbyes to Brooke and Luke who had been waiting for them when they arrived. She went straight to her locker and when she opened it she was shocked to see a bouquet of beautiful flowers. There was also a note attached to it.

Haley,

I am so sorry for what I did or our date. I should

have realized that it was too soon and I am sorry. I hope

you can forgive me and that I can sit with you at lunch. Please

forgive me.

Love,

Nathan

Haley was in awe. It wasn't the most romantic note in the world, but it got the point across. He was sorry and she could certainly forgive him. A smile was plastered on her face and then she suddenly felt 2 arms slide around her waist hesitantly.

"Can you forgive me?" Nathan asked, hoping for that positive answer

"Yes. But we still need to talk about things." She said, turning around to face him

"Ok. We will but can I walk you to class."

"Nathan. We have the same first period class."

"I know, I was just hoping that if I walked you there that I would get lucky." Nathan said with a smirk

"Nathan!" Haley said with a playful hit to Nathan's shoulder

"I was just hoping. Is there a possibility?" Nathan asked. But Haley peeked her head into the tutoring center to see if it was occupied with anyone and when she realized that it was vacant, she pulled Nathan inside and once he realized why they were in there he gently pushed her against the wall and started to kiss her. The kiss was a nice kiss at first and then Haley felt Nathan's tongue brush up against her lips and she granted him access, completely forgetting where they were.

Once she realized that they were at school in a not so private setting, she quickly pulled away and looked into Nathan's blue eyes that she secretly adored.

"We can't do this, here."

"I know. I know. Why don't we go to class and have that talk that you wanted to have." Nathan suggested

"Ok. Let's do it." Haley said as Nathan grabbed onto her hand and they walked to Biology hand in hand.

Sorry for the delay, but here it is. If I get more replies then I will update a lot quicker. Just lemme know and it will happen. Also, if you have any suggestions, I am always open to them.
