" Brooke, I cant handle anymore of this, please empty out the linen closet for Bevin. We have no room in this closet for her stuff." Haley complained picking up all the shoes and articles of clothing lying around the room as Brooke was sitting on the island in the middle of their huge closet dealing with her company.
" What? The linen closet is no place for a girls wardrobe. Why don't we empty out the other closet in my room and transfer all that junk into here, its both of our junk." Brooke explained finishing a text message.
" And put it where? Brooke look around there is no room in here!"
" Not if we take out Bevin's clothes." She offered.
" Bevin only has 2 out of her 10 suitcases unpacked in here Brooke. The closet in your room is full, it wont work. You know how I am about personal space Brooke, I have gotten use to living with one person but two, I cant do this. If you don't empty the linen closet then I will." Haley said putting her foot down. Is it bad I'm thinking about getting my own house or apartment? No, Haley stop that. Brooks your best friend you cant leave her.
" Fine, but all of her stuff inst going to fit in there, were going to have to empty one of the bathroom closets too then, and put some of her stuff in the closet by the door."
" Fine just deal with it please, you got us into this mess."
" It's really not a big deal your just a crazy neat freak. Maybe if you get to know Bevin better actually sit down and talk with her you will like her." Brooke suggested. Haley sighed.
" It's not that I don't like her, It's just hard to live with somebody you just met. I always thought it would just be you and I living here."
" I know Haley-" Brooke started but Bevin interrupted.
" Hey guys, just got back from a run, such a beautiful day." Bevin cheered walking into their closet. Brooke smiled.
" Is that my sweater?" Haley asked as she looked at the light blue Ralph Lauren pull over sweater.
" Yeah, sorry I didn't ask I just couldn't find the suitcase my exercising clothes were in." Bevin explained.
" No problem, what's ours is yours. Haley and I always share our clothing, sometimes even the cute little bras Haley finds. Haley here always finds the hottest bras." Brooke said before Haley could get the chance to speak. She knew Haley had privacy issues, it was only when Brooke and Haley moved in together when they started sharing clothes, so she knew Bevin taking that sweater wasn't going to help with Haley's growing issue of her living with them.
" Right Hales?" Brooke said jumping off the Island and wrapping her arm around Haley's shoulder.
" Yeah...right." Haley mumbled with a fake smile plastered on her face.
" I feel like Haley doesn't really like me." Bevin said taking a sip from her passion tea lemonade sitting at an outside table at a little juice shack.
" No Bev, its really not like that at all. Haley just has privacy problems, she doesn't like people barging in and invading her space, which is weird since shes a model but whatever. We have been best friends for 7 years now and shes gotten use to me being around all the time now she just has to get use to you being there too. You and I have been close friends for a good 5 years since the companies ever started so I'm use to you." Brooke explained while the waiter brought her another raspberry ice tea.
" Okay, do you think you could maybe set up a girls night or something. We could go out to a club or just stay in and pamper ourselves." Bevin suggested bitting on her straw.
" Yeah that sounds great, maybe we should go out to more of a social scene and get Haley drunk, shes always fun drunk." Brooke said laughing.
" One time, she actually got up on the bar and flashed the whole club. Something Haley would never do unless she's piss drunk. Don't tell her I told you that shes so embarrassed by it, it was in every magazine that week, not so miss innocent was the title it was priceless." Bevin bursted out laughing and Brooke joined her.
" I saw that! I could never picture her doing that after meeting her." Bevin said laughing. Brooke nudged her.
" Shut up, she's coming." Brooke said.
" Hey best friend." Brooke smiled.
" Hey ladies." Haley pulled out her chair and put her black channel tote on the table.
" Did you just come from a workout?" Bevin asked looking at her outfit. She was dressed in a white wife beater with black tights and running shoes. Her hair was swept back and a headband kept her bangs back.
" Can I get you something miss?" The waiter asked as she noticed Haley join their table.
" Just a lemonade would be great, thanks." Haley ordered.
" And yeah actually, I signed up for a personal trainer at the gym so I actually do everything right. " Haley explained.
" Why don't you just get boytoy to help you?" Brooke suggested swirling her drink around with her straw.
" Cause we would get nothing accomplished." Haley blushed and took a sip from her drink.
" I like the sound of that personally." Brooke shrugged. Bevin and Haley laughed. Haley's phone vibrated against the table. It was a text from Nathan.
Sexy come over.
" So, Brooke and I were just talking and we think we should do a girls night, go to a club and get to know each other better." Bevin explained to Haley, who was paying more attention to her phone.
Wish I could, I'm with the ladies.
" Uh, sure sounds great. When?" Haley answered placing her phone in her lap waiting from him to reply. He did within seconds.
" Well were were thinking this Friday maybe?" Bevin suggested and looked over to Brooke when Haley was on her phone again. Brooke just rolled her eyes.
Ditch them,
I'm craving some Haley.
" Sorry what?" Haley asked. Brooke sighed and shot a death stare towards Haley.
" What? I didn't hear you." Haley answered.
Is Luke home?
" Maybe cause your too busy talking with Nathan. Friday, if your interested." Brooke repeated angrily making the vibe at the table awkward.
No baby, just you and me,
I don't care if we just hang out,
I just want to see you.
Haley felt herself tingle inside, he was so cute. All of sudden she was all for ditching Brooke and Bevin and cuddling up with her boyfriend.
" Yeah, sure I'm game." Haley said looking across to Brooke and then Bevin, all of them avoiding to look at each other. Haley hated awkward moments.
Leaving now
" Well thanks for the invite, I actually have to head out though. See you guys back at home." Haley said getting up from her spot and finishing off her drink, grabbing her purse putting down a ten and waving goodbye.
" She didn't stay too long." Bevin said looking over to Brooke.
" Shes going to see Nathan obviously." Brooke said irritated.
" Who cares, lets forget her and go shopping or do whatever you want." Bevin said getting up from the table taking Brooke's hand. Brooke smiled.
" Thanks Bev." Brooke said laying down a twenty for her and Bevin and wrapping her arm around her shoulder.
" Let's go." Brooke smiled forgetting about Haley.
" Baby, that feels amazing." Nathan moaned into his pillow as Haley straddled his lower back and massaged his back and shoulder muscles. She reapplied a little more oil and her tiny hands continued her ministrations.
" This tattoos pretty sexy." Haley whispered as her lips captured his ear tugging on it slightly. Moving back up she traced over the huge "Scott" on his back.
" Bunch of us from the team got it done when we first partied together and got a little too drunk." Nathan explained. Haley chuckled.
" Tell me about basketball." Haley said softly.
" What do you want to know?" He asked. Haley shrugged even though he couldn't see her.
" Everything."
" Well, I started shooting around with my little hoop when I was about three. It seemed like every year I built up. So for every birthday I would usually get a bigger net with an even bigger ball. Although I knew I was going to get it I was always excited to redeem to the next level. Not only on my birthdays was I turning older it was like I was going up a level playing my favorite sport. It sucked when I got to grade one cause obviously they weren't going to put a 3 foot kid on the court. I think I cried for days when I went to the try outs and was told I wasn't old enough. After my parents saw how upset I was they looked for teams I could join outside of school and camps I could go to during the summers." Nathan explained. Haley smiled at the memory of little Nathan crying cause he couldn't play. Haley continued to softly rub against his skin and removed her hands for a second to massage his scalp.
" Keep going." She said. Nathan relaxed against her touch.
" Basically I kept going to summer camps and playing outside of school until I was in grade 6 and they put me on the team since I grew to about 5'8. It was suppose to be only grade 7 and 8's but they made me an exception and they actually played me. The first game I played it made me realize how much I loved the sport. I loved the feeling of winning and working together with your teammates to bring down the other team. When high school came along I reached 6'3 and was immediately put on the team cause I was pretty damn good but I think thats when my dad got more serious. He really pushed me, making me go on 2 hour runs every night and working out to late hours. My mom of course would tell him to go easy on me but he never listened. He made me bring open a different side of me, a side where I wasn't playing for me, I was playing for him. It got to a point where I felt I had to impress him so much I cracked under pressure, I took, I made a bad decision, I though-"
" Baby, take your time. I don't judge you know that." Haley soothed him as she noticed him start to stumble.
" I took some drugs, some drugs that would help me improve my performance, so I could show my dad I was good enough for NBA. It helped for a few games but one game I got over dehydrated and ended up collapsing on the court, it was like all of a sudden everything went black and I woke up in the hospital. It was scary, I didn't know what was happening, I didn't know if I was going to live until I woke up and saw my mom and dad hovering over me with tears in their eyes. I knew they were so ashamed of me. Everyone was." Nathan explained getting a little teary eye himself. Haley could hear a change in his voice and leaned over to look at him and saw tears in his eyes. It broke her hear to pieces to see his gorgeous blue eyes filled with shame.
" Baby." Haley whispered getting off of him, getting onto the floor kneeling along the side of the couch looking at him running her hand down his back. Haley leaned in and kissed the falling tears from his eyes, she didn't know what else to do. Nathan didn't just share this information with anybody. The only people who knew about this were Lucas and his family. The fact that he was just sharing this with Haley was a step for him.
" Sorry, it was a hard time for me." Nathan said getting up from his laying position and pulled Haley into his lap so she was straddling him. Haley shook her head and hugged him. Nathan hugged her back resting his head in her neck.
" We don't have to talk about this." She whispered but Nathan shook his head.
" It's okay. So, after that, I had to take an absence from the team and my parents went crazy and sent me to rehab for a month. I think my dad put a lot of my "drug using" on him since he turned to alcohol after I left for rehab but when I came home he was clean and didn't push me like he use to, he let me play how I wanted to and our relationship was good again. I got back to just enjoying the game and playing my heart out. Eventually scouts came out, I got a full ride to Duke and now I'm playing for the L.A Lakers and have the most wonderful girlfriend so yeah, life's pretty good." Nathan said chuckling circling his arms around her waist. Haley smiled and leaned in and rested her lips against his for a brief second.
" Thank you for sharing that with me." She whispered. Nathan nodded.
" Just don't tell the world, between you and me." Nathan said giving her an Eskimo kiss.
" You and I." She corrected but nodded her head. Nathan chuckled and flipped them onto the couch as his body covered her body and his lips captured her lips.
Haley jumped into Nathan's Car has he rode off towards MTV studios in New York. They had both agreed to do a TV appearance together on TRL with VJ's Damien and Lyndsey.
"Morning beautiful, I brought you a vanilla cappuccino." Nathan said pointing to her drink in the cup holder. Nathan had just gotten good at guessing what Haley would want, she didn't really have a favorite drink.
" Thanks, just what I need." She said grabbing it and turning down his rap music blaring through his speakers. Nathan looked over to her and saw her head against the window.
" You look stressed, are you okay?" He asked using his free hand to squeeze her leg lightly.
" I'm fine, just I don't know. Yesterday I ditched the girls to hang out with you and their still pretty upset. Brooke's being all distant, I just feel like now that Bevin's there we wont resolve our fights as much since she can just talk and hang out with Bevin. " Haley explained.
" You really don't like this Bevin girl do you?" Nathan asked. Haley chuckled.
" I really do try to, but she bugs me. Shes all buddy buddy with Brooke and wears my clothes without asking and Brooke's inviting her to all of the Clothes over Bros events she usually invited me to go to and now she doesn't even ask me." Haley explained.
" I think I'm just jealous of Bevin, boy I need to talk to Brooke." Haley said pulling out her phone texting her. Nathan just nodded listening to her problems.
Hey, do you want to do out to dinner tonight?
Rosa's say 8?
Haley sat patiently waiting for her to answer.
Sorry, already have a double date set with Bevin, Lucas and one of Lucas' friends for Bevin.
Maybe another time.
" And today with us we have the hottest couple in the entertainment industry Nathan Scott and Haley James!" Damien introduced as the couple walked out holding hands and the song Umbrella by Rhianna blared through out the speakers. The audience was mostly young teens who held their hands out and screamed holding up signs with pictures of the couple together. Nathan and Haley looked gorgeous together, Haley had her long hair pin straight with tight black skinny jeans and a black Marc Jacobs short sleeve bottom up hugging her waist and loose up top. Nathan was dressed in destroyed blue jeans with a plaid blue and white button up.
" It's crazy in here!" Haley said hugging Damien and then Lyndsey.
" Nice to meet you." Nathan said shaking hands with Damien and giving Lyndsey a hug.
" So, lets start by saying we probably have the two hottest people in the studio right now, right here!" Lyndsey cheered laughing into the microphone. The audience shouted and clapped in agreement.
" You and I right?" Damien joked.
" Of course, who else would I be talking about, defiantly not Nathan Scott and Haley James." Lyndsey played along. The audience chuckled as well as Nathan and Haley did. Nathan released Haley's hand to pull up the sleeves on his button up and crossed his arms looking sexy as hell.
" Well, you two look stunning, lets start with some easy questions and then move to the questions you will hate! Now, I'm not up to speed with basketball so Nathan you will have to help me out, but I was told your currently not playing with the Lakers right now and was pulled from the season early due to a knee injury, how do you feel not being there to help your team out?" Lyndsey asked.
" It's tough actually but it has gotten much easier. When I was first told I wasn't going to to be playing I didn't respond very well, but now things are a lot better and I'm living with my brother, just enjoying my time of absence. I'm just happy the teams still playing strong." Nathan explained.
" I'm just curious as to how the heck you guys met? I mean Nathan's the big man on the court and Haley, your a success with the modeling industry, I don't get it? How the heck did you cross paths?" Damien asked. Nathan and Haley chuckled.
" I got this one, I'm actually friends with his brother and one day Brooke and I were over at Luke's and Nathan was there. After he couldn't stop drooling I was just like fine Nathan Scott I'll go out on a date with you if it's really what you want." The accidence laughed at her explanation.
" No, no, no. She was begging for me to ask her out so I was like I don't see why not? Not terrible on the eyes." Nathan said chuckling wrapping his arm around her shoulder as Haley snuggled into his side.
" But really no, since I've been living with my brother one day her and Brooke were there and we both couldn't deny the tension so we actually went out on Valentines and have been dating for 2 months now. " Nathan explained.
" Aw, I can feel the love in the air. Right now were going to break off from the happy couple and jump to videos taking spots 10 and 9. At number 10 we have the latest from Jesse McCartney with his new track Leavin' and at number 9 we have Love song by new artist Sara Bareilles which has been jumping all over the countdown." Lyndsey said as she pointed to the TV that played the videos.
Nathan and Haley had spent the rest of the time on TRL laughing and joking around on the set bringing fun to the set. They had stayed back for two hours giving out autographs, meeting with the fans, taking pictures and having a good time as a couple under the spotlight sneaking in kisses here and there.
