Disclaimer: I do not own any of the chrectors. To bad for me.:-(
A/N: I have decided to finish this story and I am currently working on a Christmas one for you guys. It will be mostly Naley. But some Brucas. It's called "I'll be Home for Christmas." I will post summery to it later. If anyone wants the summery now just let me know. Thank you.
The next morning, things went pretty much the same for Haley. Mouth gave her a dark wine colored, satin top that looked like it was held together by a crystal pendent at the bust line. The shirt was a little more form fitting that most of the other ones he picked for her as well as the black, Sandra skirt with a belt. But to her surprise she pulled it off. Her hair was pulled half up out of her face with a few pieces left to fall around her face. It was mostly strait but with a hint of a curl at the ends.
As Haley walked into the office, all eyes were on her. She looked like she walked right out of a magazine. Even Rachel gave her a look of envy. But it didn't last long. That scowl that was almost plastered on her face was back in a matter of seconds.
"Haley someone called for you." She said making sure not to look at her.
"Oh? May I ask who it was?"
"Some guy. I think his name was Jack or Jeff. Something like that. He said he would reach you later."
"Wow Rachel. I am real impressed with your message taking skills. Oh how I wish I could be more like you." Haley said while rolling her eyes. Soon Haley cell phone was ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey gorgeous. How are you this morning?"
"Nathan Scott. Are you stalking me?"
"Maybe. Can you blame me?"
"Uh huh. What can I do for you?"
"Well I was wondering about that lunch. You said you would check your schedule."
"Oh yeah. So I did. Well I am free this after noon. How's 1:00 sound?"
"Haley that sounds perfect. Meet me down stair around that time."
"Ok I will."
"Can't wait. See you later Hales."
"Bye Nate." Haley couldn't help but heat up at the sound of him calling her Hales. Sure everyone else did. But coming from him it sounded like music to her ears. Haley looked up only to find Rachel staring at her with even more hatred then Haley thought possible.
"Haley? Could you bring me a cup of tea please?" Brooke called from her office.
"Sure thing Brooke. Coming right up." Haley went to go make the tea. She couldn't wipe the smile off her face. But then her thought turned to Jake. What was she going to do about the way they have been fighting. It was starting to get bad. She hated feeling this way when it came to Jake. He had been calling her all morning but she wasn't ready to talk to him. Sure he was partly right. But he really had no room to talk. Peyton had also tried to talk to her this morning, but Haley just ignored her. Finishing her task she walked into Brooke's office with her cup. But before she could set it down in front of Brooke, Rachel tripped her and the tea spilled all over the negatives on Brooke's desk.
"Haley James. Look what you've done. Now what am I going to do?"
"Oh Brooke I am so sorry. I must have tripped on the rung." Haley said while looking right at Rachel who was just smirking to herself.
"Well that's just great. My photo shoot is ruined because you're clumsy. You know if I didn't like you so much you would so be fired right now."
"Brooke I will fix it. I promise."
"How?"
"I don't know. But I promise I will find a way."
"Ok, you have until midnight tonight to fix it Haley. I trust you. But believe me. It won't be a pretty sight if I don't see new negatives on my desk tomorrow morning. Got it?"
"Yes Brooke. Again I am really sorry."
"Well don't just stand there. Get to work. Rachel?"
"Yes Brooke." She said in a sugary sweet voice.
"You can take the rest of the day off. Move along." Rachel sat in shock. How could Brooke make her take the day off?
Haley walked out of the office and headed down stairs. She walked into the main lobby only to find Nathan there waiting for her. She had totally forgotten about their lunch.
"Nathan? Hey. I am so sorry I totally forgot about our lunch meeting. Something happened this morning and I am going to have to cancel."
"Well what happened? Maybe I can help."
"I don't know if you….wait. You know maybe you can. I just got an idea. Can you meet me at the studio in like 30 minutes?"
"Yeah sure. Anything for you Hales."
"Ok. Thanks Nathan." She reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek before turning and walking back to the elevator. Nathan just stood there for a minute smiling. She had just kissed him. That had to mean something right?
Haley walked into Mouths office and was frantically looking for him. She was going to need his help if she was going to pull this off.
"Mouth. Oh thank God I found you. Look I know you are busy. But I really need your help. I tripped and spilled tea all over Brookes negatives this morning and I have to do a quick re-shoot tonight so she has something to work with in the morning. Please will you help me?" Haley said all in one breath.
"Sure Haley. Let me grab the line we shot and I'll meet you….where?"
"The studio in about 20 minutes."
"Ok. I'll be there. Who is doing the modeling?"
"Um…well…that's kind of why I really need your help. You see I will be modeling the girls clothes and well…I got Nathan to help as well."
"Ok. I can make that work. And who's taking the pictures?"
"I am about to take care of that. Thank you so much Mouth."
"No problem Haley."
Haley took out her phone and dialed the only person she knew with any photography experience.
"Hello?"
"Peyton. It's Haley. I really need your help. I know we are kind of fighting right now, you would be saving my life if you did this for me."
"Haley you know that no matter what I got your back. Now what is it?"
"I need you to come down to Brooke studio and be my photographer. I messed up this morning and I have until midnight tonight to fix it. Please."
"Yeah. I will be there in 15 minutes. I just have to run by my gallery and grab my equipment."
"Thank you Peyton. You are totally saving me right now."
"Anytime Haley-bop."
20 minutes later and everyone was there. Mouth was lining up all the clothes they would be modeling and Peyton was setting up her camera. Mouth handed Haley and Nathan their first outfits. Haley was going to be wearing a black bikini with diamond studded pendent holding each side of the bottoms together and a small tear drop shaped diamond in the center of the top. Nathan just a pair of black board shorts with the invisible Clothes over Bros simble. Nathan walked out and was ready to go. But when Haley came out he felt like every thing started to move in slow motion. She was gorgeous. He was falling hard for this girl. He found that he was liking everything about her.
"Wow. You look…wow."
"Thanks hotshot. You too." Haley said smiling at him.
"You guys ready?" Peyton asked noticing the sparks between the two of them.
"Let's get this show on the road." Haley said walking away.
Meanwhile back at the office Lucas was walking into Brooke's office looking for Haley. Noticing she wasn't there he knocked on Brooke's door. He could hear arguing on the other side of the door.
"Why? Since when do you care Chase? You know as well as I do that things haven't been working out." She was pacing back and fourth in front of her desk, on the phone. "So what? I can't sit around waiting for you to get your head out of your ass and start excepting that fact that this is my job. No I am not going to be there. Because have work Chase. I have a responsibility. This is MY Company. Fine. You know what? I'm done. Goodbye." Brooke slammed the phone down and let out an aggravated grunt. That's when she notice someone was standing in her door way. "Lucas?"
"Hey you. I was just looking for Haley. But sense she's not here I thought I would come in and see you."
"Aww…Lucas Scott coming to see me. How could a girl get so lucky?" She said giving him her beautiful smile.
"Well when the girl is Brooke Davis then it's the guy who is lucky."
"Oh such the charmer."
"I try. So how are you pretty girl?"
"I've seen better days. But my day just started to look up. Say…are you free tomorrow night?"
"Well I don't know…you see there is this girl that I was hoping to go on a date with tomorrow night." Brooke slumped a little at his words. "I guess it's a good thing that girl is you." Her smile returned at full force.
"That's good to hear. Would you like to be my date to a party?"
"Brooke it would be an honor." He said winking at her.
It was getting late and the four were just finishing up their photo shoot. Peyton had left after giving Mouth the rolls of film to develop for her and they were now loading up all of Mouth's things.
"Ok well I guess that's it. I'll see you guys later." Mouth said getting into his car.
"Thanks again Mouth. This really means a lot to me."
"It was no problem Haley. You were amazing tonight. Maybe you should become a model." He said smiling at her.
"Yeah maybe. Take care of your self Mouth."
"You too Haley. See ya."
"Bye." She turned to Nathan and without a word threw her arms around his neck and gave him a big hug. "Thank you Nathan. I know you probably had better things to do tonight. But thank you."
"Haley I was exactly where I wanted to be tonight." He was hugging her back. She pulled away to look at him but kept her arms where they were.
"You saved my life. I owe you one."
"I'm sure I can think of a way for you to pay me back."
"Oh yeah? How?"
"Well you can be my date to the party tomorrow night."
"Nathan I would love too. But you know I have a boyfriend."
"I know. But that doesn't mean you can't be my date. We are friends."
"Yeah ok. I can do that." They were still holding each other and looking to deep into each others eyes. They didn't know how much time had passed between them but they couldn't let go. That's when Nathan crashed his lips to her. She responded right away. But that's when her cell phone went off. She pulled away and looked at Nathan. "I have to go. I can't be doing this. I have to get home to see Jake. God I am a horrible girlfriend." She said gathering up her stuff.
"Hales, stop. You know this was not a mistake. You feel the same way I do. We can't keep fighting it."
"Nathan, I…I'll see you tomorrow. Pick me up here for the party." She gave him one more kiss on the cheek and ran off. He stood there smiling. She didn't say no. She didn't say she felt nothing. She was going to be his. He knew it. She felt the same way. He would just have to give her time to see it on her own. But she would realize it eventually.
When Haley walked up to her apartment door. Jake was standing with his head against the wall. She felt awful. She just kissed Nathan Scott. But yet here was her boyfriend standing in front of her. She still cared about Jake. He was her first real love. But she was feeling so torn. She didn't expect to meet Nathan. She didn't know that the guy of her dreams would just walk into her life. But Jake was always so good to her. He never gave her any reason to stray. She owed it to him to try and make it work. But the tingling in her lips left from Nathan was a constant reminder of her feelings for another man.
"Hey Hales." He said giving her a pleading look. Hales. I didn't sound the same coming from him as it did from Nathan.
"Hey Jake."
"Look Haley, I am so sorry. I shouldn't have gone off on you like that. I am just scared."
"Why? I haven't done anything to make you worry."
"I know. I just…well look at you. You look amazing. You are perfect Haley. In every way. Any guy would be an idiot not to see that. Who wouldn't want to sweep you away?"
"Jake, you have nothing to worry about." She lied.
"I know. I just…I want you Haley. I always have."
"I know Jake. It's ok. We'll get through this."
"Can I stay with you tonight Haley?"
"Yeah. Come on in." She couldn't look him in the eye right now. Nathan kept flashing in her mind. Part of her was wishing it was Nathan walking behind her in the apartment. But she had to stop thinking that. This had to stop. She was going to tell him tomorrow at the party. Tonight though she had to give her attention to her boyfriend. Tonight she had to forget about Nathan Scott. But was she going to be able to do it?
A/n: ok so I know some of you probably hate me right now. But don't worry there is more Naley coming up.
