Hey guys! Thank you very much for the reviews! :D Hope you all like chapter 10...

"Haley?!" Nathan shouted after, not caring if the other guests in their rooms heard him. "Would you stop?" He had reached their floor and Haley was now storming ahead into the honey-moon suite, with Nathan a few meters behind.

God! She thought. Why did the fucking elevator have to stop…twice? Normally Haley would have smiled at the old man who took forever to step into the elevator, she might have even helped him. But this time she was pretty sure she scared the hell out of him for taking so long, it was, in fact, the time in which Nathan had taken to sprint up another flight of stairs. He had heard the ding and saw a very pissed off Haley stomping her way along the corridor.

When Nathan reached the door to their room, it was slammed in his face. He took a deep breath and opened it.

"Nathan?" Doctor Anderson asked.

Oh. He's still here. "Thanks for your help Doc, feel free to go." Nathan handed him his jacket and showed him the door. "You know… I think she's better." He faked a smile .

"Okay…" Doctor Anderson left, overly confused.

"Haley?" Nathan shouted as he walked up to the bedroom door. He twisted the handle but found it was locked. "Haley, that wasn't what it looked like." He was sure he heard Haley scoff, or was he just imagining it?

Haley lay on the bed. She was so overcome with numerous different emotions, she wasn't quite sure whether to scream, cry or go and fucking punch him in the face!

"Nathan I swear to God if you don't leave me alone-"

"For fucks sake Haley I need to talk to you!"Haley gritted her teeth and stood up. She unlocked the door and swung it open to find Nathan standing there. "Don't you dare fucking swear at me!"

"You swore at me!"

"That's different!"

"How?"

"Cause I'm mad Nathan! God I'm so angry and…hurt and-"

"There's no need for you to be mad or hurt Haley, she's my best friend."

Haley immediately scoffed and folded her arms over her chest before registering his words. "What?"

"That girl that was beside me is my friend and colleague!"

Haley pushed past Nathan walking towards the kitchen. "Really?" she said mockingly, "And why the hell should I believe you?!"

God. Nathan thought. This girl's a tough one.

"Because I'm not like that anymore!" he let it slip.

"Like what anymore?" Haley asked, staring at him.

He sighed."I was an ass, I used to have one night stands and then throw woman away, okay?!"

Haley was slightly taken aback. He had treated her so well and now he was admitting this, he seemed like a different person.

"But I changed Haley! Because I seen what happened to my mom when men treated her like shit, its what fucking led to drugs!"

Haley continued to stare at him. She shook her head slightly before asking: "But why should I trust you Nathan? I've only known you for-"

"God Haley! What is wrong with you?" Nathan snapped, "Why cant you trust me? Why cant you trust anyone?"

Haley's blood boiled. Her face was becoming redder by the second. "How dare you make that kind of judgement on me!"

"Well its true isn't it?!"

"Nathan don't push me!" she warned.

"Oh come on Haley, you know fine well you have trust issues."

Haley was literally shaking. "Yes Nathan! I do have fucking trust issues and you know why!" She gripped onto the counter behind her, tears forming in her eyes as pains shot up her wrist, her knuckles turning white.

"Why? Because your parents abandoned you? Because your Aunt died? Because everyone who you thought loved you has left you?-"

"YES!" She screamed, the tears now running down her face. "Are you happy now? I cant trust people!"

Nathan looked at her. God he was so glad to see her. Even if they were fighting, it was still being able to talk to her. He stared at the blue/purple bruise on her cheek and saw how she winced when she tried to wipe the tears away.

"No." He stated, "Because you can trust me."

Haley took deep breaths. She looked up at him and saw that he took a step closer. Her eyes were showing how scared she really was to let someone in. She was sure that Nathan could see it too, judging by the way he was looking at her.

"Why?" she asked timidly.

"I'm not you parents and I'm not you Aunt Haley." He said, "I wont leave you."

Haley wiped the tears away and stared at Nathan. She shook her head, "But that girl-"

"Is called Peyton." He stated, "You should meet her, she'd love you." Nathan smiled.

Haley looked down at the floor and smiled gently. Her head snapped up when she heard him say, "Like me."

"What?"

"Well she would love you but she wouldn't fall in love with you." He chuckled. "But I have."

Haley's breathing hitched. She stood frozen to the spot, her knuckles still gripping the counter and it was then she realised Nathan was in fact only a foot away from her.

"I know." She said gently, "I heard you that night-"

"Really?" Nathan said surprised, shuffling forward ever so slightly.

"Yeah…" Haley couldn't hold back a smile. She glance at either side of her and saw that Nathan had placed his hands at either side of hers, kind of trapping her. She leaned her back against the counter more so she could look into his eyes properly.

"Its so good to see you Haley." He said quietly.

She smiled, their face just inches apart. "I dreamt of you-" she brought one of her hands to rest on his cheek.

"I missed you." Nathan whispered and then connected his lips to hers. Haley pushed herself into him, standing on her tip toes, she wrapped her arms around his neck. With the kiss growing more passionate by the second, Nathan grabbed her waist and lifted her to sit on the counter.

"I love you." He breathed as they broke apart.

Haley rested her forehead against his. "I love you too." She smiled whilst wrapping her legs around him and pulling him closer. Nathan kissed her again. He tucked a strand of stray hair behind her ear but pulled away when he felt her wince.

"I'm sorry baby, did I hurt you?"

Haley didn't answer, she was too engulfed in the fact he had called her baby.

"Slightly but its fine." She smiled. Nathan gently grazed his fingers over her bruise.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

"Not as much now."

Nathan smiled but then his face turned serious. "I'll get the person who hurt you Haley, they'll be locked up in jail. I promise."

Haley smiled. "Thank you," She said, "Thanks for protecting me."

"I will always protect you okay? Always."

Haley closed her eyes for a second and sighed, completely overwhelmed by the fact she had found him. All she could do in that moment was pull his head forward for another kiss. Sure it wasn't the most normal or romantic of ways in which you could tell someone that you loved them, but then again, they were definitely not normal.

Once they broke apart again Nathan eased Haley off the counter and set her on the ground. "You are definitely something." He chuckled.

Haley laughed but soon fell silent.

"What?" He asked.

"I've never really felt this comfortable with someone." She stated, blushing slightly.

"Me neither." He smiled back at her, "I like it, you know just being sort of normal."

"Sort of?" Haley questioned.

"Yeah well you gotta admit our 'meeting' wasn't exactly normal."

Haley laughed, "Well I'm a believer in fate."

"Really?" He asked, "I didn't know that."

It was then that they realised that they didn't know many things about each other. The looked at each other for a moment.

"Want to be a slightly off normal couple and play twenty questions?" Nathan asked.

Haley laughed slightly. "Yeah…why not."

They walked into the living area where they took a seat on the floor, opposite each other.

"Okay I'll start." Haley said.

"Wait!" Nathan stated, "should I order pizza."

"Sure-"

"What kind?"

"You know that counts as a question right?" She chuckled.

"No it doesn't the game hasn't started yet."

"Yes it has! I get a free shot."

"Nu-huh" He stated.

"Fine order what you want."

"Pepperoni?"

"Two free shots." She teased. "Pepperoni's fine."

Nathan laughed, shaking his head and walking away to order the pizza. A couple of minutes he returned to his earlier position.

"Okay shoot." he said.

Haley thought for a moment. "Do you have a middle name?"

Nathan frowned. "Out of all the questions," he smirked causing her to raise a brow, "Yeah I do, its Royal."

"Ah I see, that's why its your 'stage name'"

Nathan chuckled at the fact that she had used air quotes. "What' your favourite food."

"Uh, Mac and cheese!" She grinned.

"What are you five?" He chuckled.

"No! But you just wasted a question."

"Haley play fair." he winked and he was sure that his heart skipped a beat when she wrinkled her nose and grinned.

"Fine." she said, "What age were you when you had your first kiss."

"Uh…like fourteen."

"Fourteen?" Haley said slightly shocked, "God I thought a boy toy like you would have been…like eight."

Nathan's eyes widened. "Eight?"

"Yeah you know…"

"Haley James, were you kissing boys at the age of eight?"

"No." Haley said defensively, "ten."

Nathan smirked. "Ooh okay, lets see, what age were you when you first flashed a boy."

"Nathan!" she scolded, "I haven't flashed anyone!"

"Uh huh." He said teasingly. "Who?"

"No one." Haley said shyly.

"Haley?"

"Okay fine! But I was 16 and it was a dare!"

"Who?"

Haley winced. "Brooke." she whispered.

Nathan sat in shock. Oh God. "What else did you do?"

"No more questions, its my turn."

"Hales…" He whined.

"Fine…we kissed. But no tongue!"

Nathan felt himself heat up a bit. "I'd pay to see that." He smirked.

"Nathan!" Haley glared but her lips soon turned up into a smile. "So what age did you lose your virginity at?"

Nathan pondered it, "Sixteen."

Haley nodded, slightly embarrassed as the knew what was coming next.

"You?" he asked.

"Eighteen" she blushed.

"Really?""Yeah, I didn't want to just give it up, you know?"

"Yeah." Nathan smiled, "Were you in love?"

"I thought I was but not really, there was never that spark or intensity. I mean we sort of came to a mutual agreement, we knew we would be going our separate way so we called it truce, no hard feelings."

Nathan nodded. He was a bit surprised when she said, "I know I love you."

He smiled and leaned over, "I love you too."

Haley leant in and gently kissed him. As the kiss intensified Haley moved across the floor so she could be next to him. With Nathan sitting with his back pressed against the couch and his knees bent upwards, Haley straddled his lap, finding a nice sitting position.

Nathan moaned as she straddled him, combined with the way her tongue was making its way into his mouth. With their tongues tangling, Nathan rocked his hips upwards.

Haley gasped as she could feel his arousal against her.

"Nathan…" She breathed as his lips attached to her neck. "I don't think we should have sex."

Nathan felt like a bomb had went off in his head. He stared at Haley and forced out a weak "okay."

Haley chuckled slightly. "I'm sorry." She said stroking his cheek. "I mean I just woke up today and my cheek hurts and my wrist-"

Nathan cut her off by pecking her lips. "You don't have to explain Hales. I understand. I wouldn't want to cause you anymore pain."

"Thank you." She said and kissed him again. She was a bit surprise when Nathan moved her off her and stood up.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

Nathan smiled shyly. "I uh have to go to the bathroom and take care of-"

"Oh." Haley said. She smiled at him and stood up. "C'mere." she said grabbing his hand and leading him over to the couch. "Let me?" she blushed.

Nathan's eyes widened. Hell yes he would let her jack him off. "Feel free." He smirked and sat on the couch.

Haley blushed as she sat next to him. She was a bit nervous, after all, this was Nathan.

"Hales, you don't have to-"

"No I want to, I love you Nathan, I want to do this for you."

Nathan pressed his lips against hers and smiled when they pulled apart. Haley instantly kissed him again and moved to straddle his knees. As they continued to kiss passionately, she popped the button of his jeans open and lowered the zipper. Her hand brushed against his erection and she could stop a moan escaping her lips. It was Nathan's turn to moan as she rubbed her hand against him over his boxers. He shimmied his jeans down a bit and waited for her next move.

Haley stared into his eyes as she slid her hand inside his boxers. Nathan grunted when her small hand wrapped around his cock and began pumping. He moved slightly so he could move his boxers down. If Haley wasn't currently getting him off, he would have laughed at the face she made when she seen his cock.

"God." Haley said, "You're so…"

Nathan smirked. "Big?"

Haley chuckled. She made sure he paid for that by swiping her thumb over his tip, making him grunt. Haley bent forward and began to suck on his neck.

"Haley…" Nathan breathed as he rocked his hips upwards.

Her pace was becoming faster and Nathan couldn't help but throw his head back and squeeze his eyes shut. It was, however, when Haley moved off his legs onto the floor and began to suck on his ball that he knew he couldn't hold on. Soon Haley's hand was replaced by her mouth.

"Baby," He breathed, tugging on her hair, "I'm….I'm gonna come."

Haley only sucked harder and quickened her pace.

Nathan couldn't ever imagine seeing anything hotter than Haley's head bobbing up and down as her shining eyes captivated him.

"Oh fuck!" His body twitched as he came in Haley's mouth. Haley let him ride out his orgasm and smiled once she had milked him clean.

"Mmm." She moaned coming back up to kiss Nathan.

"Haley that was-"

"Amazing?" She smirked.

"Yeah." Nathan chuckled. He pulled her in for another kiss when there was a knock at the door.

"I think I should go." Haley smiled as she took in Nathan's appearance.

Soon she came back with a box of pizza and found Nathan was sitting properly on the couch, having pulled up his boxers and jeans.

"Smells good." he smiled.

Haley sat down next to him and opened the box. She grabbed the remote and switched on the T.V trying to find a good movie to watch.

"Ooh the Shawshank Redemption!" He suggested.

"That's not romantic." She smiled.

"Neither is pizza."

Haley chuckled, suddenly receiving a light bulb moment she asked. "You ever seen the Notebook?" she asked.

"The what?"Haley was slightly hurt that her boyfriend had never even heard of 'like the best film ever' but she let it slide. "You'll love it." She grinned.

Half way through the movie the pizza was finished and Haley was sitting snuggled up to Nathan's side with a blanket. She glanced up at him and saw he was watching intently. A smiles spread across her face when, sub-consciously, he squeezed her tighter against him whenever the older couple appeared on the screen.

Tears began to well up in Haley's eyes as the movie neared its end. She rested her head on Nathan's shoulder and instead of watching the end of the film, she watched his reaction. Haley couldn't help but 'aww' inwardly when she say the look in his eyes that led deep into his soul.

As the credits came up Nathan looked down to find Haley staring back at him. He smiled as he saw the glisten of tears in her eyes. "It gets me every time." She laughed. Nathan just stared at her.

"What?" She asked, ducking her head self consciously.

Nathan carefully lifted her chin so she looked at him. "You're just so beautiful."

Haley looked at him with all the love in the world. "You're quite charming."

"You haven't even see my A game." He quipped.

Haley giggled and rested her head back to its previous position on Nathan's shoulder.

He gently kissed her head and noticed a yawn escape her lips. "C'mon" he said, "let's get you to bed."

Nathan switched the T.V off and swooped Haley up in his arms, bride-groom style.

"Nathan!" She shrieked, "you'll drop me!"

"I wont." He promised as he carried her into the bedroom. Nathan gently placed her on the bed. "Night Hales." He said and kissed her forehead.

"Nathan?" Haley grabbed his hand. "Sleep here with me?"

Nathan nodded. "I'm so glad you asked me that."

Haley smiled as he climbed into bed with her. She immediately scooted over to him. "Will you hold me?"

Nathan didn't need to answer, he had already planned on doing so. He pulled her closer so she was half lying on him. With her head on his chest, Haley found comfort in his steady heart beat.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly, trailing her fingers up and down his chest.

"What for?"

"For misjudging you earlier."

"You were upset, its okay." He smiled. Haley moved her head so she could look at him.

"I don't know what I'd do without you here Nathan." She said genuinely.

Nathan smiled, "You don't ever have to worry about that." He leant down and softly kissed her lips.

Haley sighed. She closed her eyes for a moment before saying. "I promise I'll save you one day."

Nathan smiled as he wrapped his arms around her tighter. "Good night Haley."

"Night Nathan." She replied snuggling into him and falling into a peaceful sleep. One in which they had both longed for since they arrived.
