*Don't own anything except this story line*

Nathan and Haley stood wrapped in each others embrace, as the rain continued to fall. By now, the two of them were completely drenched.

Haley giggled like a school girl around her crush. "We should get inside!" She screamed over the loud rain.

Nathan smirked, "I don't know. I'm really starting to love the rain."

Haley playfully rolled her eyes. "I don't want you to get sick!"

"Actually, I would love to come inside but I have a hot date that I need to set up."

Haley's mouth fell open, and her face turned white. "Wh-what? Who?" She tried her best not to sound jealous.

Nathan chuckled, "Just some girl that I've had the biggest crush on for a really long time. Her names Haley. She's beautiful. Do you know her?"

Haley blushed and bit her lip. "Oh, right."

Nathan smirked, "You thought it was someone else?"

Haley shrugged shyly. "I don't know."

"No one can compare to you Hales." Nathan said as he pushed a string of hair behind her ear.

Even though the temperature was around 50 degrees, and Haley was soaking wet, she still felt her face and body heat up.

Nathan looked back at his car. "Alright I really gotta go. I'll call you later with the details, okay?"

Haley smiled, "What are we going to do?"

"It's a surprise." Nathan smirked.

Haley pouted. "I hate surprises!"

"You'll like this one. Promise."

"Can I just have one little hint? Please?" Haley pleaded, ans she continued to pout.

Nathan playfully rolled his eyes, "I can't tell you, but it's going to be great. You can count on that."

Haley smiled, "You already planned it?"

Nathan nodded, "Yeah for a while, so it has to be perfect!"

"So no hints?"

"Nope, and you can't back out of it either."

Haley smiled, "I wouldn't even dare."

"Good." Nathan said as he leaned down and pecked a chaste kiss on Haley's soft lips. "I'll call you later."

Haley giggled, and gushed, "You better."

Nathan smirked at Haley, and kissed her one last time, and took off towards his car and drove up with a giant smile on his face.

Haley ran back into her house, and started to dance around, gushing like a teenager. All thoughts about Nathan's past left Haley, and all she could think about was her future with him.

For the rest of the day, Nathan couldn't wipe the giant grin off of his face. He drove all around Tree Hill trying to set up for his date with Haley. He wanted to make everything perfect, especially for Haley. He didn't want to go over the top, but he did want to make the evening romantic. Fortunately the weather finally cleared up, so Nathan was able to carry out his plan, since it was going to be outside.

Nathan called Haley around 3 pm and told her that he would pick her up at 6 for their date. They both agreed not to tell anyone about it, especially Brooke, because they didn't want anyone knowing. Since they work together, and co-workers aren't allowed to date, they wanted to remain low key. As soon as they hung up, they both began to get ready for the date.

Nathan hopped in the shower to help relax himself, because he was growing more and more nervous as time went on. No matter what, Nathan's smile never faded. He made sure to take a long shower, and he washed his hair about 3 times, to make sure he smelt really fresh. Nathan knew he was making a big deal over everything, but he didn't care. He only was doing it for Haley- no one else. Nathan shaved his face, and cursed out loud when he accidentally cut himself. Luckily, it dried right up, and didn't leave a mark.

Haley also took one of the longest showers in history, to make sure she would be in top shape for the date. She shaved her legs, waxed her eyes brows, and basically poured an entire can of body wash all over her. She hasn't been on a real date, since high school, so she wanted to make sure she looked her best. Especially because her date was Nathan, who most likely slept with a dozen models. Haley stood in front of her mirror for about a half an hour. She was growing more nervous by the second.

You see him everyday, it's just a date. Nothing to be nervous about.

Haley thought to herself.

Haley walked over to her closet, and sighed. She had no idea what to wear. When she was on the phone with Nathan, and she asked, his reply was: "Whatever you decide, I'm sure you'll look beautiful"

Haley was touched, but still aggravated because she had no idea where she was going and she didn't want to be over or under dressed.

Haley tried on about 6 outfits, and groaned with frustration when she couldn't decide. She stood in front of her closet, with clothes scattered around the floor, and she bit her lip trying to make up her mind.

Jackson suddenly came in her room, and jumped on her bed.

"Where are you going momma?"

Haley jumped slightly. "Oh! Jackson, you scared me!"

"Sorry." He frowned.

Haley turned around. "I'm, um, going out with some friends tonight."

Great Job! Way to lie to your kid, Haley.

"What are you gonna wear?"

Haley shrugged, "I don't know buddy."

"I think you should wear that white dress!" Jackson said pointing toward a simple, white dress in her closet.

Haley looked at it, and smiled. "I think you're right. I'm going to try it on right now!" Haley explained.

Jackson smiled and Haley walked into her bathroom and changed. She stood in front of the mirror, and was pleased with how she looked. The dress was knee- length and cinched under her bust, so it flowed out. The dress had a v-neck, which showed off very little cleavage, and she looked cute and simple. Her dark hair was curled loosely and stopped at her shoulders. Haley had on very little make up, that consisted of mascara, eye liner, blush, and a little bit of coconut lip gloss. She walked back out of the bathroom, and Jackson looked up from his hand held game.

"You look very pretty momma!"

Haley smiled. "Thanks buddy. You ready to go to Grandmas tonight?"

Jackson nodded, "Yup."

Haley looked at her phone, "She should be here any minute to pick you up. Are your bags packed?"

"Yup." Jackson nodded again.

"Okay, good. I'm going to miss you."

"Me too."

Haley hugged her son, when she heard a knock on the door.

She quickly rushed to the door, praying it wasn't Nathan yet.

"Hi Mom!" Haley said as she greeted Lydia.

"Haley-Bub! You look beautiful!"

Haley blushed, "Thank you."

"Where are you going?"

Haley bit her lip, "Just out with a few friends from work." Haley lied.

Lydia smiled. "Good, you deserve to have some fun. Did you make up with Nathan yet?"

Haley rolled her eyes. "Mom!"

"What? I want to know! He was a very nice, good looking man, who happened to like you. So what happened?"

"Nothing." Haley lied again.

"Haley James! Did I teach you anything? He liked you and you let him slip through your fingers!"

Haley smiled, "It's fine mom."

"Fine? I bet you broke his heart!"

Haley laughed, "You're being a bit dramatic."

"Well do you like him?

Haley sighed, and tried to suppress a smile, but failed. "I do."

"So then why didn't you tell him?"

Haley began to grow annoyed. "Just don't worry about it, okay?"

Lydia rolled her eyes, and pointed her finger at her daughter. "You better tell me if anything happens."

"Okay." Haley laughed.

Jackson ran into the room, and screamed "Grandma!"

"Hi Jacks! How are you?"

"Great!"

Lydia smiled at her grandson."Okay, well we better get going. Have fun tonight Hales. Be careful."

Haley rolled her eyes. "I know, thanks. Love you guys."

"Love you too Mommy!" Jackson said as he hugged his mom.

Haley watched from her door as her mom and son drove off, and she waited anxiously for Nathan.

Nathan was two blocks away from Haley's house, and he was three seconds away from having a panic attack. He never went on a real date with anyone before, so to say he was nervous was an understatement. He sprayed another dash of cologne, and looked at himself in the mirror. He got a haircut today, so his hair was shorter than usual, but he still had a perfectly straight flip. Nathan took a deep breath, and gulped. He glanced down at what he was wearing at was quite satisfied. He had on dark jeans, and a light blue button up shirt, with the sleeves neatly rolled up, and the top two buttons undone.

He smiled, and pulled up to Haley's house. He grabbed the single rose, and walked up to her front door. Nathan took a deep breath, and rang her door bell.

Haley was in her kitchen, trying to keep herself busy when she heard the door bell ring.

'This is it.' She thought, and walked over to open the door.

Nathan was starring at his feet, when the door opened up, and he instantly felt his breath hitch in his throat.

"W-w-wow" He stuttered. "You look- wow." He breathed.

Haley smiled. "You look great."

"I'm speechless Haley. You're honestly breathtaking." Nathan smiled as he finally got his brain to form an actual sentence.

Haley blushed. "Thank you Nathan."

Nathan handed her a single rose. "I know you like the purple flowers, but I wanted to give you a single rose, since it's the first date. If this date goes well, and there's a second, maybe you'll get two roses." Nathan winked, and Haley giggled.

"That's really sweet Nathan! Thank you!" She gushed, and kissed Nathan on his cheek. "Let me put this in water, and then we can go."

Nathan nodded, "Okay."

Haley quickly put the flower in a small vase, and grabbed her pocketbook.

"I'm ready." She smiled.

Nathan watched as Haley walked toward him, and he got excited as all the blood rushed south, and his pants tightened.

Nathan stood there in a daze, and didn't hear Haley.

His mouth was watering, and his palms started to sweat.

Haley smiled, as she looked at Nathan who was in a trance.

"Nathan?" She called, and waved her hand in his face.

"Sorry, uh what?"

"I'm ready."

"Oh, okay, great, let's go!"

Nathan grabbed Haley's hand, and they both felt the sparks that flew between them, and looked at each other, smiling shyly.

Nathan walked Haley to his car, and he held the door open for her, and helped her get in.

"Thanks Nate."

Nathan smiled, and turned the radio on as he started to drive to their secret date location.

Haley smiled wide when she listened to the lyrics of the song, and Nathan smiled as well.

"This song kind of reminds me of us." He said, and Haley blushed.

"It does." She agreed.

Nathan started to sing along.

"Sorry, I suck at singing." He said embarrassed.

Haley giggled, "It's cute, keep going."

Nathan looked at her, and started to sing the lyrics loudly, as Haley giggled, and also sang along in between laughs.

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

And the sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
And the sparks fly...

As soon as the song ended, Nathan drove onto a dirt road, and Haley looked out the window.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see in a minute." Nathan explained, as he grabbed her hand, and interlocked their fingers.

"You're not gonna, like, kill me are you?" Haley joked.

"Definitely not."

Haley smiled. "I'm really excited."

"Me too. I'm also nervous as hell."

Haley looked at Nathan intently. "Why?"

Nathan shrugged, "I don't want to do anything to push you away."

"You won't."

"I don't know. I screw things up a lot."

Haley smiled, and looked into Nathan's crystal blue eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." She said as she squeezed his hand, and he let out a deep breath.

"Neither am I."

Finally, Nathan stopped his car on a high hill.

"We're here."

"Really? There's just rocks and trees. You sure you're not gonna kill me?"

Nathan laughed, "No, come here."

Nathan quickly ran out of his car, and opened the car door for Haley, who graciously smiled.

Nathan grabbed her hand and they walked through a bunch of trees to get to their final destination.

When Haley saw it, she was truly speechless.

"Oh my god." Was all she could say.

Nathan set up a picnic blanket, candles, flowers, and trays of food on the edge of a cliff over looking the beautiful sandy beach, and water. The sun was slowly setting in the back ground, creating a picturesque scene.

"Nathan, this is beautiful." Haley said as she looked out into the sky in awe.

Nathan looked down at her and smiled. "You're beautiful."

Haley quickly leaned on her tip toes and placed a kiss on Nathan's lips.

After a few seconds, she slowly pulled away.

"This is perfect Nathan."

"Are you hungry? I brought us food."

Haley smiled, "Starving."

Nathan pulled Haley over to the blanket, and sat down across from her. He pulled out two wine glasses. "Would you like some?"

"Yes please."

Nathan slowly poured the wine into the glasses, and handed one to Haley.

"Thank you." She said as she took a sip.

Next, Nathan unwrapped a bowl of food and handed it to Haley as well.

"Mac n Cheese!" Haley said excitedly. "You remembered!"

Nathan chuckled, "Of course I remembered. There aren't any other adults that I know whose favorite food is Macaroni and Cheese."

Haley smiled, "It's food-"

"-Of the gods. I know." Nathan finished, and she giggled.

"Did you make it?"

Nathan bit his lip. "I wish I could take the credit, but actually Karen made it."

"Oh yummy! I love her food!" Haley gushed as she took a bite of the food.

"Me too."

"This is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I can't thank you enough Nathan."

"I told you Hales, I'd do anything for you. You're the only one I'd do this for- no one else."

Haley felt goosebumps rise on her skin, and she blushed. "I'm honored Nathan. I feel really special."

"I'm happy as long as you're happy."

Haley smiled again, as they continued to eat dinner, and talk about trivial things. The entire dinner, the two of them joked about work, flirted, and really got to know each other.

Nathan smiled as he watched Haley drink a sip of her wine, and Haley began to grow self conscious.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" She asked, as she brought her hands to wipe her mouth.

Nathan chuckled. "No, I was just admiring how beautiful you are."

Haley's face reddened. "Stop it!"

"I'm serious, Haley. You're easily the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

Haley smiled shyly, and fiddled with her ring. "I don't know about that."

"Why not?"

"You met like models and stuff." She said quietly.

"So? You're way better than them."

Haley shrugged, "I guess I'm just a little insecure."

"You shouldn't be. You're gorgeous Haley, you don't even know it. Every single boy in the high school is like in love with you! Even the teachers!"

Haley blushed. "I don't know."

"You are Haley. You're so natural and beautiful, and I can't help my strong attraction towards you. I've never felt this way about anyone before. I know you're probably threatened by my past, but you shouldn't be, because you're so much better than any girl I've ever been with. I've been waiting for a girl like you, for a really long time. I'm really glad I found you, and I'm sorry I know this is our first date, and I'm probably scaring you-" Nathan ranted, but was cut off when Haley kissed him.

"You. Are. The. Best." She said in between kisses.

Nathan pulled away and smiled. "I'm telling the truth."

Haley grinned. "I know. You're the only person who has ever made me feel this way, and I never want this feeling to go away."

"So where do we go from here?' Nathan asked eagerly.

Haley bit her lip. "I don't know."

"Well I'd be honored to call you my girlfriend." Nathan smiled.

Haley sighed. "I want that too Nathan, it's just that, I hae a really dark past-"

"So do I."

"No, I mean, I have Jackson-"

"I totally understand. I'm not going to run away because of that though."

Haley felt her heart beat faster. "I know, but like, the reason why I had him-"

"It was a teenage pregnancy, right?"

Haley nodded, "Yeah."

"High School romance gone wrong?"

Haley gnawed on her lip. "Not exactly."

"So what then?"

Haley blinked back the tears. "Nathan, I really like you a lot, and I'm having a great time tonight, I don't want to talk about it right now."

Nathan nodded. "Okay, we don't have too."

Haley smiled gratefully. "Thank you."

"You're okay though right? Do I have to worry about Jackson's dad...?"

Haley shook her head. "No. Deffinitely not."

"Okay good."

"Don't get me wrong Nathan, I really want to start a relationship with you, I just don't want to hold things back from you but I know that when I tell you, you're going to freak out."

Nathan laughed. "I won't. I promise you Hales, I'm going to support you 100%. You don't have to tell me right now. Whenever you're ready."

Haley smiled through her tears. "You really are the best."

Nathan smiled. "I know."

Haley rolled her eyes. "And cocky."

Nathan smiled and leaned over Haley to place a kiss on her lips. "I'm not going anywhere." He said when he pulled away. "Be my girlfriend."

Haley blushed, as her heart was practically jumping through her heart. "I'd be honored."

Nathan jumped up and pumped his fist in the air. "YES!"

Haley giggled, "Why are you so excited?"

"Because the girl of my dreams is FINALLY mine!"

Haley blushed, "I'm not that special Nathan."

Nathan looked intently into Haley's deep brown eyes. "Yes you are. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm an ass hole, and you're like an angel. I never thought I would be able to date you, but now I am, and I've never been happier."

Haley couldn't stop smiling, that she couldn't even feel her cheeks.

"Well I never thought I'd be able to say that I'm dating THE one and only Nathan Scott."

"Well now you are." Nathan grinned, and Haley kissed him with everything she had in her.

"So how are we going to do this? With work I mean?" Haley asked worriedly.

Nathan shrugged. "I'm not worried. I just know that nothing is going to tear us apart. Not even Butt Kiss,"

Haley laughed loudly. "Oh that's original!"

Nathan chuckled. "I really like your laugh."

"I really like your eyes." Haley said as her brown ones bore into his blue ones.

The sun was almost set, and the night grew darker.

"Haley. Don't worry about anything. Everything will work out. I promise. Let's just remain low key around work, and at night we can go out."

Haley smiled, as Nathan pulled Haley down on top of him, so they were both laying down.

"It's going to be hard to see you and not be able to kiss you." Haley joked.

Nathan groaned. "I know. But we can make it through. I'll do anything to keep you mine." Nathan said as he squeezed Haley's side, and she squealed.

"I like the sound of that." Haley whispered against Nathan's lips.

The couple soon lost track of time as they were engaged in a heated make out session. They got lost in the kiss, as each of their tongues dueled for control, and they explored each others mouths. Neither of them wanted to pull away, but after about ten minutes, they needed more air, so they reluctantly pulled away.

"Wow." Haley gushed.

Nathan smirked. "I know."

"That was the best kiss I've ever had." Haley thought aloud.

Nathan continued to smirk. "I know."

Haley giggled. "You should know something Nathan."

Nathan pulled away and starred into her eyes. "What's that?" he asked.

Haley took a deep breath. "When you first told me how you felt, I was shocked. I know it sounded like I was going to reject you, but I wasn't going to. I wanted to say yes-" Haley ranted, but Nathan interrupted when he kissed her again.

"It's okay, you don't have to explain. We're together now, that's all that matters."

Haley smiled. "You're right. It is all that matters."
