Chapter Four-
After the incident with the tabloids Nathan and Haley had made sure to take every precaution necessary when it came to Oliver. It took a little while for Oliver to get used to his bodyguards but when his mother and father explained things to him, he soon began to understand why it was important for him. Through the media Nathan made sure to express his discontent with the photos of his son that was released but even more so the media became intrigued with his mystery that no one knew nothing about. Not wanting to be the subject of mystery he allowed cameras into his home for a sit down interview with his family with Ahmad Rashad.
"You have a nice home here Nathan" Ahmad complimented him as he waited for the camera guys to get set up
"Thanks. I heard you had went over to Shaq's place for the barbeque, how was it?" Nathan asked
"It was Shaq's place, everything is big and outrageous there" Ahmad laughed
"Yeah, I was going to go but little man here had to go to the dentist" Nathan said
"Priority first" Ahmad smiled at Haley
"Yeah, I mean its new for us not to be known as the sex slave partners" Haley laughed
"Are we ready to roll?" Ahmad asked his camera guy
"Yeah, we're up and ready" The camera guy said
"All right. I'm here in North Carolina with the power forward from Charlotte Bobcats, Nathan Scott and his beautiful family. Recently photos were released of his family that caused many to become invested in the life of Nathan Scott, so now we get the scoop on who Nathan Scott really is" Ahmad said as he introduced his story line "So lets just dive into the main subject, what was your initial reaction when you saw the photos?" he asked
"My initial reaction was anger. I never dealt with that and it was new for me. But Haley here had a completely different reaction towards it" Nathan said
"Yeah, I was cool with it. I thought it was funny, Nathan of course freaked out but I just kind of let roll of my shoulders. I mean how in the matter of hours you become the story people want to read amazes me. I mean my face was plastered on magazines and all sorts of false stories were written" Haley said
"Now when you two were described as sex partners it kind of made Haley's personality somewhat coincide with yours. Finally we know who the mystery girl is in your life was the theme, what is your real relationship together?" Ahmad asked
"My relationship with Haley is she is my best friend. I've known every since freshmen year in high school. So it kind of angered me that they potrayed in such bad light" Nathan said
"Now pictures of your son surfaced to, tell how exactly does Haley fit into the picture with your son?" Ahmad asked
"Oliver is Haley's biological son. I adopted Oliver in my Senior year of high school. We've been a family ever since" Nathan said
"Now why do you feel it is important for people to know this bit of information now as opposed to five years ago when you first came into the league?" Ahmad asked
"I think its important because I don't want people to start hacking into my life. You know I'm an athlete and I always will be but I want people to separate my basketball life from my personal life" Nathan said
"Your basically the premiere player for the league, does this really shock you that people are fascinated by your life?" Ahmad asked
"In some ways it does. I mean the guys literally hazed me by saying oh they finally got you. So like I said, its new for me" Nathan smiled
"Haley, how do you feel being the girl behind the player?" Ahmad asked
"I don't live in his shadows. I support him with his decisions and he supports me with my decisions. The most important is that he a good father who just wants to protect his son. I mean there is nothing going on between us and I think its hilarious kind of because I've never looked at Nathan that way" Haley said
"Will you now?" Ahmad asked
"Not anytime soon. He's still quite annoying" Haley laughed
After the interview Nathan felt so much better that he was being open with his life in which that way no mystery would surround. Many loved the fact that he was a dedicated friend who chose to be a father figure for his best friends baby, so when it came to the women vote he was a crowd favorite. Brooke munched on popcorn as she sat at the counter watching the interview on television while Haley and Oliver played together. Running down the stairs dressed in nice apparell the girls were shocked to see Nathan in anything other than basketball short or shorts in general.
"Where are you off to?" Brooke asked intrigued yet again in his life
"I am going on an interview" Nathan said as Oliver got up from his chair and ran over to his father
"Can I go with you?" Oliver asked
"No, not this time bud. But I promise you we will certainly tear up the town this weekend. How does Disneyworld sound?" Nathan asked
"Cool" Oliver smiled
"What type of interview? You have a great paying job" Brooke said
"I know. Why would you be looking for another job?" Haley asked
'Olly, go upstairs and get ready for bed" Nathan instructed his son
"Yeah, here take your picture with you so we can hang it up in your room when I get up there" Haley said handing the picture over to her son
"Okay. Bye daddy" Oliver said before he walked up stairs
"Okay. Nice and cool, but what are you up to?" Brooke asked
"I'm not the interviewee, I am the interviewer" Nathan said before the doorbell rang
"Who is that?" Haley asked
"Guys, I would like you to meet Heather" Nathan said after he opened the door
"Heather. Hi, Heather" Haley smiled
"Nice to meet you. You must be his room mate?" Heather asked
"Something like that' Haley smiled
"I'm Brooke" Brooke called out from the sofa
"You ready to get this interview started?" Nathan asked
"I sure am. I can't wait to be your publicist" Heather said
"Neither can I. Why don't you wait for me by the car" Nathan suggested as he could feel the look of shock on both of the girls faces
"Okay" Heather said happily before she walked outside of the house
"What the hell did you do?" Haley asked "Barbie is our publicist?" she asked
"She's qualified" Nathan reasoned
"Oh, she's qualified all right" Brooke laughed "You can not be serious by hiring her" she questioned
"The team recommended her" Nathan said
"Another reason as to why she won't be our publicist" Haley said
"Look can we talk about this later?" Nathan asked
"Yeah, we'll talk about it all right" Haley threatened him
"Have a nice night ladies" Nathan said before he left the house closing the door behind him
"I'm going to kill him. I swear I will" Haley said frustrated
