I do not own One Tree Hill
Author's Note: It's been a while since I updated this fic I feel so ashamed for not updating this as much as I used to. Truth be told, school has really been busy these past few months but I now have the free time to write again So expect some updates.
To my reviewers:
Sam - thank you for those kind words. They mean a lot. The Ryan situation is going to be getting a little out of hand soon.
Gio91 - Thank you for saying that. It really means a lot, more updates are coming shortly.)
Naley12 - Thank you. I'm happy people are liking how I am writing Nathan and Haley. There will definitely be a more development between the two within the next couple chapters.
GottaluvNaley - Nathan is definitely not going to do anything stupid BUT if worse comes to worse he just may have to in later chapters.
PLEASE COMMENT
Chapter 14: Homecoming Bound
Nathan stood outside by the beach, the cool water hitting his bare feet as he watch the sun come up. He couldn't believe what Haley has told him last night about what happened with Ryan, all he wanted to do was go kick his ass for laying a hand on Haley. Nathan ran his fingers through his hair, he couldn't believe that Haley didn't want him to do anything to Ryan.
"I ought to kick his ass" Nathan fumed, he paced across the bedroom, his blood fueling through his body, his whole body stiff. He hated men who laid a hand on a woman, never in his life would he ever do something like that to Haley or any woman for that matter. Nathan clenched his fist as paced in the room, all he wanted to do was leave the house and kick Ryan's ass for what he did to Haley. To his belief's any man who hit a woman deserved to be beat up.
Haley's eyes stay on Nathan as she watched him pace around the room. She never seen him so mad, so tense. "Nathan" Haley stood up from the bed, walking over to him, she stood in front of him looking into his deep blue eyes, she had never seen his eyes look so dark before, she didn't think it would effect him so much like this to want to go and kick Ryan's ass. Haley placed both hands on Nathan's shoulders "Please, don't" she finally said. "He's not worth..." Haley was interruped by Nathan groaning.
"How can you say that" Nathan asked, anger feeling his voice that she was asking him to not do what he wanted to do.
"Ryan is not worth it" Haley sternly said. "I appreciate you wanting to protect me and defend me but he's not worth it" she cupped his face, looking into his eyes.
"Haley, I can't..." Nathan shook his head. His eyes on her gazing deep into her chocolate eyes, he could tell she was begging him not to do this.
"Please, Nathan" Haley pleaded. "I don't want to see you get hurt and probably get arrested for beating up him. Please" Haley moved close to Nathan, their bodies basically an inch from touching each other "If you love me you won't do this".
Nathan exhaled deeply, he closed his eyes feeling her caress his cheek softly. "Fine" he finally said.
Haley exhaled in relief, happy he wasn't going to kick Ryan's ass.
"But" Nathan protested "If he lays a hand on you one more time, I WILL kick his sorry ass" he warned her.
Haley couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle "There won't be a next time" Haley assured him. She put her arms around Nathan's neck.
He rested his hand's on her hips "Good" Nathan leaned in and covered her lips with his, kissing her tenderly. "The last thing I wanna see is you get hurt and you being afraid of me because you might think I might do what he did to you" Nathan mumbled against her lips.
Haley slowly moved her lips off his "No" she shook her head. "I know you would never hit me, Nathan. I could never be afraid of you" she covered his lips with her, kissing him deep and passionately. She pulled her lips away from his and rested her forehead against his "Never" she added.
"Good" a smile slightly formed across Nathan's lips "Because I wouldn't" he assured her.
Haley smiled against his lips "Now forget about punching the lights out of Ryan and kiss me" she pulled Nathan by the shirt and kissed him as she pulled him onto the bed.
Nathan chuckled softly and shook his head, it was like Haley had him wrapped around her little finger when it came to things like that, no matter how much he wanted to go over and kick Ryan's ass he wasn't going go against Haley's own wishes. Nathan turned away, walking back to the beach house, tonight was the night of the Tree Hill High homecoming dance that he and Haley were chaperoning.
"Haley. Tutor mom" Brooke squealed as she walked into the guest room where Haley was sleeping.
Haley looked up at Brooke "It's 8:30am Brooke Davis, go back to bed. I sleep til 9am on my days off" she mumbled sleepily.
Brooke rolled her eyes and sat down on the bed beside Haley, getting under the covers. "Are you excited about your big night tonight" she asked.
"Oh yeah i'm so excited to be chaperoning a high school homecoming, nothing more that I would rather be doing" Haley stated sarcastically.
"Tsk" Brooke sighed "I do not mean chaperoning the homecoming, I mean bow chicka bow wow with Nathan" she giggled.
Haley turned beat red "Shut up Brooke Davis" she chuckled.
"Your nervous aren't you" Brooke asked.
Haley looked at Brooke "About what" she asked. "We never decided we were gonna jump each other tonight" she rolled her eyes.
"Tutor mom, you don't decide when you do it. It just happens and believe me. A high school dance, hormones raging" Brooke looked down at Haley "Especially your wild hormones since you haven't done the deed in a long time".
Haley rolled her eyes "Seriously Brooke" she exclaimed.
Brooke put her coffee cup on the nightstand "Seriously Haley, I don't know how you have done it for 6 plus months straight without sex, hell I can't even go a week without having sex with Jul..."
"Ok" Haley shrieked "Too much detail, Brooke" she told Brooke.
Brooke chuckled "You know Hales, some people would be a bit embarassed to tell stuff like this but I'm not. I almost tell everything" she smirked.
Haley rolled her eyes "Of course you do" she chuckled.
A phone beeping could be heard in the room "Excuse me" Brooke sighed as she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. Brooke looked at the message on her phone, she opened the text. "911. Need your help. Suit for dance tonight" she read the text. Brooke rolled her eyes and let out a slight chuckle.
"Who's that" Haley asked curiously.
Brooke looked up at Haley "Julian" she responded, arching her eye brows "Wanna know what it said" she asked, giggling.
"No thank you" Haley threw her hands up as she got out of bed.
Brooke laughed and got up off the bed "You and Jamie help yourselves to anything" she told her best friend. "I have run an errand for Julian" she added as she left the guest room.
Haley walked out of the guest room and into the family room "Hey buddy" she greeted her son who was sitting on the couch watching cartoons and eating McDonalds for breakfast. "How did you get" Haley held up the McDonalds back.
"Aunt Brooke" Jamie mumbled with his mouth full.
Haley looked back at her best friend who was going through her purse looking for her keys "Brooke, seriously your spoiling my kid".
Brooke pulled her car keys out "Isn't that what a godmother is suppose to do" she asked as she walked out the door.
Haley snickered and rolled her eyes "Bye" she called out as Brooke left.
Nathan Scott looked at all the tuxedo's on display. He was in deep shit now that he waited until the day of the high school homecoming to get his tuxedo to wear, the homecoming he and Haley were chaperoning. Now he was only waiting on one person to come and help him with this. Nathan turned to entrance of the store as he seen her walk in at the corner of his eyes, he knew this was the only person that could help him in this situation, plus he didn't know who else to turn to and that person was...
"Nathan Scott, I oughta kick your ass for waiting this long to get your tuxedo" Brooke Davis exclaimed, shaking her head as she approached him.
Nathan threw his hands up "Chill Brooke" he literally stepped back. "I had a tux but it was kind of ancient" he added.
Brooke sighed "Your lucky I didn't have any meetings today".
"You never have any meetings" Nathan said in his defense. "Plus Haley is at your place" he added.
"Watch it, Nate" Brooke pointed at him. She motioned for the sales woman to come over to them. "You should be ashamed, Nathan. Haley had her dress two weeks ahead of time" she couldn't it but a smirk displayed across her lips as she remembered helping Haley shop for her dress as well.
"I am telling Haley, you need something seductive, flashy, if you wanna get Nathan's attention".
Haley rolled her eyes "Brooke" she exclaimed "It's a freakin high school homecoming, I can't dress like a slut in high school, I'm a teacher, a chaperone there. And believe me I have had Nathan's attention all along" Haley added.
"That does not mean you can't look hot" Brooke fired back. She held her finger up to Haley "I'll be right back" the young brunette walked away leaving her best friend standing there looking at the dresses on display. "Hi, how are you" Brooke smiled at the sales girl "My friend over there" Brooke motioned over to Haley "and she needs a dress. Something simple, something classy but something that also says to her date "i'm not a slut, I want you" Brooke quoted to the sales girl.
The sales girl chuckled "Alright. I think I know what she needs. Excuse me" the sales girl walked away to get a dress off the shelf.
"Haley" Brooke called out to her best friend "Get over here" she motioned for her.
The sales girl came back with two dresses in hand as Haley approached "What's up" Haley asked Brooke.
"These are Max Cleo dresses, they are both the same but different colors" the sales girl told them.
"Oh" Brooke exclaimed reaching out taking the dresses from the sales girl. "I love them. What do you think Hales" she looked at Haley.
Haley looked at the dresses that Brooke held out to her, she loved the dresses but she wasn't sure they were quite appropriate for a school dance. "I love the dragonfly color but I don't think these are appropriate".
Brooke groaned "How do you wanna dress? As a nun" she asked harshly.
"Look miss, even teachers, professors, collegues wear stuff like this" the sales girl said.
"See" Brooke exclaimed.
Haley stared at the dress, biting down on her lip "Fine give me the dragonfly one".
Brooke squealed "Good choice, tutor mom".
"I'm sorry" Nathan apologized. "How is Haley doing" he curiously asked. Nathan only talked to her once on his way to the store but he was already missing her.
Brooke chuckled "You got it bad for tutor mom, Nate" she tucked her hair behind her ear as she looked at the men's tuxedo's on display. "She's good. Excited about tonight" Brooke couldn't help but smile. "It'll be nice for Haley to go out tonight, get her mind off the divorce drama" she added.
Nathan sighed "I don't know why he won't sign the papers, it's not like she wants his money or anything. There's something about Ryan I just don't like, I never have" he bit his lip.
Brooke looked at Nathan "You and me both".
"Did Haley tell you that Ryan grabbed her and shoved her. And not to mention the names he calls Jamie" Nathan rolled his hand into a fist "If I ever seen him I would kick his ass for the way he treats those two".
Brooke pulled an Armani suit off the display "That loser isn't worth it Nate" she shook her "I told Julian the same thing after the whole "jail" fiasco" Brooke handed him the suit "Go try it on".
"I guess your right" Nathan took the suit from Brooke. "Haley said the same thing" he sighed as he went into the changing room.
As the day passed, Brooke helped Nathan shop for everything he needed that morning and rushed home to help Haley get ready for tonight.
Haley walked out of the room, her dress and hair already done. She glanced up at the clock realizing Nathan would be here shortly. Haley looked at her left hand, staring at the wedding band she was wearing, she totally forgot she was wearing it. She bit her bottom lip as she slid the ring off her finger and walked back into the guest room and put it inside her bag with her clothes. Haley stood in front of the mirror, checking her hair and everything. She knew that taking her wedding band off was a sign to move on and indeed she was ready to move on.
Nathan knocked on Brooke's door, waiting for someone to answer. It didn't even look like anyone was home, the only car that was in the driveway was Haley's. So he pretty much figured out that Brooke and Julian took Jamie out for the evening while Haley was there getting ready for tonight. Nathan glanced down at his newly bought suit before looking up as he heard the door open. "Whoa" he mumbled as his eyes meant Haley. Nathan stared at her from head to toe. Damn, she looks amazing, he thought to himself.
"Please tell me that's a good whoa" Haley sighed.
"It is" Nathan chuckled.
Haley exhaled "Good" she chuckled.
Nathan held up the corsage, the flowers matching her dragonfly color dress "I know it's cliche and predictable but..." he shrugged.
Haley smiled "It's great. I love it, matches the color of my dress". She looked at Nathan a bit confused "Ok now either this a coincidence or you knew the color of my dress" she added.
"Ok, Brooke helped me pick out this and my suit earlier today" Nathan revealed.
Haley chuckled, she was surprised he waited until today to get his suit "You waited until the day of to get your suit" she slightly chuckled.
"The suit I had was..." Nathan shrugged "Let's say ancient and didn't have time to take it to the dry cleaners".
Haley laughed "Well you look handsome".
"Thank you" Nathan took the corsage out of the box and put the box down as he put it around her wrist "You look very beautiful" he leaned close to her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thank you" Haley blushed as he said that. Haley moved closer to Nathan and put her arms around his neck "You look very handsome, I might add" she kissed him softly on his lips.
Nathan kissed her back. "I missed you" he placed his hands on her hips.
"I missed you too" she kissed him again before resting her forehead against his "You know how Brooke can be" Haley chuckled.
"Of course I do" Nathan chuckled. They both stood there staring into each other's eyes before Nathan broke the silence "Let's get out of here" he brushed his lips against hers before giving her a peck on the lips.
Haley reached inside and grabbed her small purse that went with her dress and closed the house door.
Nathan held his arm out and soon felt Haley put her arm around his as they walked to his SUV.
"So" Haley smiled as Nathan pulled into the parking lot of the hotel where the homecoming dance was being held. "Mr. Scott, you owe me at least one dance tonight" she told him.
Nathan quickly glanced at Haley and chuckled, he pulled the car into a parking space "We'll see" a smirk formed across his lips.
"Ok" she smiled. Haley looked down at her dress she was wearing again. "Can I ask you something, Nathan" Haley wanted to ask Nathan the question she was urging to since he picked her up. She wanted his opinion on her dress and if it was appropriate for a school dance or not.
Nathan turned the car off, taking his keys out of the ignition "Anything" he slightly nodded, making eye contact with her.
"This dress isn't appropriate for a school dance is it" Haley bit her down on her bottom lip.
A smirked worked it's way across Nathan's lip as he oogled Haley in the dress "I don't know but I'll tell you one thing" Nathan leaned over, his lips close to her ear "You'll definitely be the sexiest teacher there".
Haley smiled, her cheeks becoming red, her stomach was practically doing flips as she heard Nathan say that. "Thank you" she turned her head to keep him from seeing her red cheeks.
Nathan softly chuckled as he seen her turn her head away, he knew what she was trying to hide but it never worked with him. Nathan gently turned her face back to his, his lips inches away from hers, Haley slightly smiling at him. Nathan brushed his lips against her "Only telling the truth" he smirked.
Haley cupped his face and kissed him hard but passionately. A moan escaped her lips as she felt Nathan deepen the kiss, her tongue wrestling with his.
The two both pulled away a second later breathing heavily. They both stared at each other, both looked like wanted to continue.
"We should" Nathan gestured towards the hotel building "Get inside" he softly chuckled.
"Yeah" Haley slightly nodded.
Nathan nodded "Alright" he opened the door, getting out and closing his door of his SUV as he walked around and opened the passenger door to let Haley out.
Haley put her hand in Nathan's as she got out of the SUV "Thank you kind sir" she chuckled.
Nathan snickered, closing the door "This should be an interesting night" he slightly nodded his head to Haley.
Haley noticed his gesture and looked over to where the group of kids were standing outside of the hotel.
The group of students chuckled as they stared at Nathan and Haley. "So are you two an item now" Jacob asked. The group laughed again.
Nathan rolled his eyes "It's none of your business, Jacob" he said as he and Haley both walked to the hotel door.
"Looks like coach is gonna tap that ass tonight" one of the boys wolf whistled at Haley.
Haley felt Nathan tense up as soon as the boy said that, she tugged his arm to let him know it was alright. "One moment" Haley whispered to Nathan and walked over to the group of students, she glanced down as one of the guy's jacket was laying on the bench and seen it was like a mini bar filled with loads of small liqour bottles. Haley looked up at the students, a smirk across her lips "You know what boy's I'm gonna pretend you did not just verbally "sexually harass" me and I'm just gonna take this" Haley leaned down and picked up the coat, she chuckled as she walked away.
"Stop. Not even worth it" Jacob told the guy's letting out a sigh, realizing it was not even worth the argument to try to get them back because he knew she wasn't gonna give them back.
"Tsk" the boys sighed as they watched the two teacher's walk away.
Nathan opened the door for Haley and let her go inside first "Oh and boys, suicides, Monday 5am" Nathan grinned and snickered as he walked in behind Haley.
Haley laughed, hearing him tell the boys that. She wrapped her arm back around his as they walked towards the hall, music could already be heard "Are you really going to make them do that Monday morning" she curiously asked.
"Oh yeah, I can't harm them for making that comment but I sure can make them suffer by making them run suicides" Nathan chuckled.
"Did your old coach ever make you do that" Haley asked.
Nathan nodded "Tell we puked".
Haley groaned "Ugh" she exclaimed. "I'm sorry you had to go through that" Haley added.
"FYI. It wasn't just basketball practice, he also made his P.E. classes do it as well" Nathan told her.
Haley was a bit shocked "Must of been a hard ass teacher".
"He was" Nathan answered.
The couple both entered the hall. Haley looked around the decorated hall "It looks like heaven" she chuckled. The hall was decorated with almost everything blue and white. Stuff hung from the ceiling to make them look like clouds. Students were starting to come in, walking past the two teachers.
"Well the theme is Heaven On Earth" Nathan snickered. "Now i'm waiting to see someone wearing wings" he joked.
Haley laughed and playfully hit his arm "Stop" she rolled her eyes.
"Mr. Scott, Ms. James" Nathan and Haley heard someone calling them.
Both of them looked across the room and seen the principal heading their way. Haley looked at Nathan and exhaled deeply. Both knew chaperoning this event was gonna make their night very interesting.
