AN- I'm so sorry! I kept writing this chapter little by little and I definitely should have had this updated quicker. Thank you so much for your reviews (: As for Dan finding out about Naley, it won't be for a little while because I want them to develop and fall in love before the drama starts. This chapter won't have a ton of Naley because Dan is there and they have to keep it covert but there will still be some. Another thing I am going to broaden on in this chapter is the reason for the rivalry between the families. I promise to update again soon so please keep reviewing.
As for this week's episode, I had a ton of mixed emotions. I completely adore Clay and Quinn. I think that they are both going through a hard time and are helping each other through it. I loved Haley's performance and the fact that Nathan brought her flowers. As much as I am not the biggest Dan fan, I really enjoyed the scene with him and Jamie. Also the scene with Jamie and Nathan was adorable. Jamie is such a good kid! Brooke and Haley are so cute, I absolutely love their friendship. I also am growing to feel bad for Alex. I mean I hate that she is coming between Julian and Brooke but she really is growing as a person on the show. Done with the good, now onto the bad. Brooke I think has had the hardest time over the course of the show. I am a huge Brucas fan and so I was hoping that maybe they would end up together but I knew that it wouldn't happen so I started to like her and Julian. To be truthful, I like Brooke with any guy she dates because she is such a strong character. This being said, I am so sad for her not getting the baby. Julian just continues to anger me. He has to see that he is losing her! I understand that Alex needed help but he could have at least told Brooke where he was going and see if she wanted to meet him there after the concert. I think Rachel was a lot better in season 4 but she was awful to Brooke this season. She really needs to grow up. Finally, Nathan not on the Bobcats? Not cool. The finale of last season was amazing because he finally made it to the NBA and then this season he deals with Renee and he overcomes this. I am ridiculous tired of all the drama in Nathan and Haley's life.
Okay enough with my long rant, here's chapter 3!
Nathan's POV
"Hey Luke, I know you are pissed at me but I was at H…" Oh shit, I thought as I saw who was standing there.
"Hey son."
"Dad? What the hell are you doing here?" I don't remember him calling me and telling me he was visiting.
"I decided to drop in and visit my sons. Thought I would see how your practices are going and see how Lucas is doing on his next book."
"I don't buy it, what are you doing here?" Dan Scott was never one to drop by just to see how we are doing.
"Alright fine I heard that your first game this season is against the Lakers and decided I should help you train a little bit."
"No way in hell. Call Dante and have him set up the plane back to Charlotte."
"Sorry Son, I can't do that. Look I don't have to help you train but I do have some business to attend to." The thing about my dad is that his business is not a traveling job. He is the mayor of Charlotte.
"What business would that be dad?"
"Ease up Son; I am just visiting with the mayor here. We were going to meet up on Monday but he called and said today. It is mainly just a dinner for prominent and important families, which means I will most likely see the bastards." So it looks like I won't be seeing much of Haley the rest of this weekend, way to buzz kill Dan.
"Whatever Dad, you're out of here the second that dinner is over." Poor Lucas still looked shocked. Looks like he is going to have to reschedule his date with Brooke.
"Alright I will, now Lucas and I were just catching up. Now tell us where you were before, you were about to tell your brother." Oh shit, now I have to make up where I was.
"I was at H-enry's. He helps us train sometimes and he and I just went for a run."
"Nice to see you working hard son. Alright so we should have lunch and play basketball to catch up." My good mood just went down the drain.
"Yeah sure whatever. Luke and I had plans today but I guess we just have to rearrange them."
"Nate it's fine, I already rescheduled."
"Now that that is figured out, get ready Nathan we will leave in half an hour." Wonderful.
Haley's POV:
I cannot seem to get this smile off my face. Last night was amazing. Nathan was absolutely perfect; I cannot wait for our next date. I have not felt like this since Chris. I thought Chris was the perfect boyfriend until I found out he cheated on me with some slut named Nikki. Needless to say, we broke up. My brothers, the girls, and my dad/ other dads took care of him and I haven't heard from him since our break up.
"Haley James, we come bearing treats!" Rachel yelled as she walked in the door.
"In my closet!" I yelled back. Rachel and I planned on stopping by the store to pick up Brooke then go visit Quinn on her shoot.
"Tutor slut! We said be ready by 12:30, it is 1! Who are you now, Brooke?" Rachel said as she and Peyton walked in.
"I know, I know I am just looking for what to wear. I was thinking about stopping by Nathan's place after."
"Hales, judging by last night you could wear a trash bag and he would think you were hot. By the way, that call about your wonderful night of sex so could have waited about three hours." Peyton said rolling her eyes.
"Peyton quit rolling your eyes. Hales, go for the white Juicy straight jeans and the light blue Juicy detailed cami and put the black front shrug over it. Wear your black heels and you'll be good." Rachel Gatina, ever the life saver.
"That's perfect, thanks Rach."
I finished getting ready and we left for Clothes over Bro's. The store was packed but thankfully Brooke could get away for awhile.
"Hey fabulous ladies, you ready to go?" Brooke said smiling.
"Hell yeah, what time is your date tonight bitch?" Rachel said curiously as we got into her Porsche SUV.
"There is no date, turns out that he who shall not be named dropped in for a surprise visit." Brooke said a little angrily.
"Brooke I'm so sorry! Wait, who is he who shall not be named?" I asked confused.
"Are you kidding he just dropped by, typical." Peyton said.
"Who is he?!"
"He is unbelievable, how angry do you think our padres will be?" Rachel said curiously.
"Again, who the hell is he?!" Is anyone hearing me?
"Dear lord Hales, it is Dan." Rachel said.
"Finally you respond. Shit, our parents are going to be so mad." So no more visiting Nathan tonight.
"Who says they have to know? Okay look I don't like hiding things from them but what they don't know won't hurt them." Peyton said.
"Agreed, so let's not tell them okay?" Brooke asked while we all nodded our heads. We got to the shoot and noticed Clay's car. The shoot was at this remote beach with gorgeous water which Quinn hated because she is afraid of swimming in the ocean. She was modeling for the cover of seventeen summer addition.
"Clayster! What's up?" Rachel said and we all laughed.
"Hey girls, how are you?" Clay said laughing.
"Not too bad, Quinn looks hot. How's the shoot going so far?" Brooke said
"She always looks good, and pretty good. The photographer is kind of a bitch but Quinn doesn't seem to mind. "Clay explained.
"A bitchy overpaid photographer of a magazine, real shocking."Peyton said.
"Peyton Marie Sawyer stop being so cranky, besides how do you know she is overpaid? Oh and not all photographers are bitches." I say. We all call her Peyton Marie Sawyer when she is being a bitch.
"Yeah Hales is right. Just because the photographer on Melrose Place was a bitch to Riley on her first shoot does not mean every photographer will be!" Rachel said and Brooke nodded.
"Sorry to interrupt your stupid and pointless rant, but Quinn is wrapping up." Clay says smirking at us.
"Okay cool, oh Clay we are going to lunch after this care to join us?" Peyton says.
"I would but I have to go save Nathan and Lucas from psycho Dan. Which reminds me, how was the date with Nate, Haley? "The girls all smirked at me, knowing exactly how well it was.
"It was absolutely perfect. You really know how to pick amazing friends for us to meet and date."
"I do what I can." Clay said chuckling.
"Hey guys! I'm ready to go, just let me grab my stuff."Quinn said as she went to grab her things.
"So Clay boy, your big three year is soon. Whatcha getting Quinny?" Brooke said, she and Rachel always give Clay weird nicknames.
"It is soon and no way in hell am I telling you, Davis." Clay said as Brooke frowned.
"But why? We won't tell her!" Brooke said whining.
"I call bulllshit on that on B. Davis, you have the biggest mouth." Peyton said.
"Yeah, Brooke you couldn't keep a secret if your life depended on it." Rachel said.
"I hate to agree but they are right Brooke." I say looking at her sympathetically.
"Oh whatever, I can so keep a secret! I kept the time that we made weed brownies in college so Hales would calm down!"
"Wait what!" How did I not know about this?
"Way to go B, you just told her." Rachel said rolling her eyes.
"Oops, it totally slipped out." Brooke said
"And now you see why I won't tell you." Clay said laughing.
"But I really want to know!" Brooke said pouting.
"Relax; I am sure Quinn will tell you as soon as she receives it."Clay said.
"I will tell whom what?" Quinn asked as she reached us.
"Brooke when you get your anniversary gift." Peyton explained.
"Ah that must be killing you there, B. You knew he wasn't going to tell you! You have the biggest mouth ever!" Quinn said laughing.
"Speaking of which, weed brownies?" I asked still angry.
"You told her! That was a secret to the grave, Brooke!" Quinn said.
"It slipped, I'm sorry." Brooke said.
"Hales, we only did it because we wanted you to relax over the test that we knew you were going to ace. It was Taylor's recipe and we didn't make the full dose so you would be fine…"
"Quinn, relax. It's fine guys, really. Next time you make them though, be sure to tell me before I eat them." I say joking with them.
"Next time? That's our girl!" Rachel said smirking.
"Not that this isn't interesting, but I have to go. Baby, you looked gorgeous. I'll call you tonight. Bye crazy girls." He said laughing and Quinn kissed him before he left.
"God, I love that boy." Quinn said and we all smiled.
"Okay, so because Lucas is with the devil I think it should be girls' night! We should go grab frozen yogurt and pick up movies. Ooh and we can order Chinese food!" Brooke said excitedly.
"Make it Mexican food and I am so in!" Peyton said.
"I want Chinese too, oh and we have to get Up!" I said excited. (AN- I'm not making fun of this movie, I actually liked it.)
"What are we five? No let's get the Ugly Truth and sushi." Rachel said.
"Agreed! Gerald Butler is a must! But I'm still sticking with Chinese, but we can get sushi too." Brooke said.
"That movie looked funny enough and I am with Peyton, Mexican food all the way." Quinn said.
"Thank you!" I agree with Hales though, I kind of want Up." Peyton said.
"Fine, we'll compromise. We can watch both. We will get Mexican, Chinese, and Sushi along with frozen yogurt and have quite possibly the worst stomach ache in the morning." I said.
"Perfect!" Brooke said.
We all walked back from getting the food, frozen yogurt, and videos. We decided to have movie night at mine and Quinn's because it was cleaner.
"Did you see that guys face? He definitely thought we were crazy!" Brooke said laughing.
"Well, in his defense normal people don't order this much variety of food." I said.
"When have we ever been normal?" Peyton asked laughing.
"Never, we have always been extraordinary." Rachel said smirking.
"Girls got a point." Brooke said.
"Yeah, yeah let's start the movie!" Quinn said laughing as we walked into our living room.
"Hello girls." We all turned to see or fathers in our apartment.
"Daddy! Uncle Tom, Uncle Rich, Uncle Brad what are you doing here?" I asked confused.
"Well the mayor called us to ask if we wanted to come to his dinner he is holding for politicians. We were not going to come but we didn't want to pass up the opportunity to see our girls." Daddy said smiling.
"Well it is good to have you here! This is such a surprise!" Brooke said smiling. We have always had a close relationship with our parents.
"What time is your dinner tonight?" Rachel asked
"It is at 7 pm and we are leaving an hour after that so we have a few hours." Uncle Brad said. Uncle Brad is Rachel's father, Uncle Rich is Brooke's father, and finally Uncle Tom is Peyton's dad.
"This is great! I am so glad you are here!" Peyton said.
"Definitely! I wish Clay could see you guys but he is with his friends tonight." Quinn said.
"That's fine sweetheart, we will see him at Thanksgiving." Uncle Rich said.
"I know which we are all very excited about. So this dinner tonight, how boring is it going to be? You could always skip and eat massive amount of food with us." Brooke said.
"It shouldn't be too bad but then again nothing compares to you girls. Unfortunately, we already promised we would go. Although seeing the bastard is not going to be the highlight of our night." Uncle Tom said.
"I thought that we could avoid that man after college, but apparently I was wrong." Daddy said.
"Why don't you guys get along again? I mean I know that he is an awful man but what exactly happened in college?" Brooke asked. I know she is only asking because she wants to date Lucas.
"Sweetheart, you know we used to be friends with him our freshman year. We were all in the same fraternity and were always together. We had another friend, Keith. Now Dan was always very jealous of Keith. When Keith started dating Aunt Karen, Dan's dream girl, he got very angry and distanced himself from us. One night he got really drunk at a party and while Keith was walking out of the party, he ran him over. I don't think we ever got over that night. We stopped talking to him and completely distanced ourselves. Karen had the hardest time out of everyone. She took off to Italy and got a new life, and as you know we only see from her once a year. "Uncle Rich said. We never got the full version of this story.
"That is awful. So from there he went into politics, got married, and had children?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I hear Deb and his boys are actually good people. It just sucks that they have to live with such an awful person." Uncle Brad said.
"Clay says that both Nathan and Lucas keep themselves away from Dan. Apparently their mom feels trapped in the marriage. I don't know the full story. All I know is that growing up Dan was rough and mentally abusive to all of them but now he is on the road to a new life, but I doubt that will last." Quinn said.
"Well, I am glad that Clay is a good friend to them. Now listen to me girls, those boys may be good guys but you are not to go near them. Is this clear?" Daddy said as Brooke and I both swallowed hard.
"We understand Uncle Jim." Rachel said. She has always been the best liar.
"Okay good. Now we should get back to our hotels to rest and get ready but we will come back before we leave for home. Enjoy your feast, and the stomach ache you will get in the morning." Uncle Tom said.
"Bye girls." Uncle Rich said as they all hugged us goodbye. We heard the door close and we all looked at each other panicked.
"What the hell are we going to do, Hales?" Brooke said.
"I have no idea, B. I do know, however, that I want to continue seeing Nathan. So I guess we just have to keep this a secret for a long time."
"We will help you, but you guys have to make sure that they are worth it. I am all for fun, but fun with the Scotts is a different story." Rachel said.
"It is. I know I am speaking for Hales and me when I say that they are worth it. They are good guys and this might be our chance for the ones." Brooke said.
"Anything for love." Quinn said.
"I agree with Quinn, just be careful." Peyton said.
"We will be but thanks for worrying. Now enough about us, Peyton how are things with Jake?" I said. Peyton and Jake really hit it off at the club.
"Nothing really so far. I mean I like him and all but I don't want to rush into anything. The boy does know his music though. He is planning to come to the studio on Monday."
"Peyton you better get that boy!" Brooke said.
"I agree! I could totally get details on him from Clay. Oh and Rach! What about you and Damien?" Quinn said.
"We hooked up the other night and we have been texting but no date so far." Rachel said.
"It'll happen. Okay enough talking. Let's eat and watch these movies!" I said.
We had finished our insane amount of food and the first movie which was Up. We were halfway through the Ugly Truth but I wasn't paying that much attention. All I could think about was Nathan. I really wanted to continue to see him but our parents would never approve. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out and smiled when I saw that Nathan had texted me.
"Hey Gorgeous! I am sorry we could not hang out today but my father decided to drop in for a surprise visit. It sucks that I didn't get to see you, but hopefully tomorrow?"
I smiled and texted back that it did you suck but that I got to spend time with the girls and absolutely we will hang out.
"You texting hot shot?" I heard Peyton whisper. I felt my phone vibrate again but decided to wait to check it.
"Yeah, he apologized for not being able to hang out and wants to hang out tomorrow."
"You know, I was a little iffy about this at first but seeing you smiling and happy now completely changes my mind. I really want you to be happy, Hales. I just really hope Nathan is not another Chris. If I ever see you that hurt again, I will personally go down there and chop off his equipment." I laugh at this which causes the girls to all look.
"Okay what are you two talking about? And don't you dare say the movie because you haven't been paying attention." Rachel said.
"Peyton just threatened to chop off Nathan's equipment." I said still laughing and the girls started laughing.
"P. Sawyer, what the hell?" Brooke said.
"I just said that if he turns out as another Chris then he is dead."
"If he turns into a Chris then he has another thing coming." Rachel said.
"Guys, I think she gets it. We love you Hales, just be careful okay?" Quinn said.
"I will and thank you for caring. Now let's finish this movie!" I said. When I knew they were all paying attention to the movie I pulled my phone out.
"I am glad you are having a night with the girls. Clay said you guys were quite hilarious today. I miss you though. How ridiculous is it that we just started dating last night and I already miss you."
I smiled and texted back that it was sweet and that I miss him too.
"I am glad. I'm actually about to go to bed because somebody kept me up all night (; I'll call you tomorrow! Have an amazing night beautiful."
God could he get anymore perfect? I texted back saying that I couldn't wait and sweet dreams.
"Oh they will definitely be good because they will be about your sexy ass."
Did it suddenly get hot in here? I looked around to see all the girls interested in the movie. I never thought I would ever end up here. Dating a Scott and being this happy. Where ever my life takes me, I am going to remember this moment. This is the moment that I realized that I am truly happy with my girls and my new boy.
