"Good morning Nate what's up?" Lucas said walking past Nathan into the kitchen.
"Ok So Lucas today's the day I need to pick up Haley's engagement ring and if you're going to be my best man then I want you to come!" Nathan said grabbing some orange juice and his keys.
"What?" Lucas said spitting out his coffee.
"Is this about the best man thing or the engagement ring?" Nathan asked nonchalantly.
"Both!" Lucas said.
"Well I told you I wanted to be with her forever so I went a few weeks ago and got her a ring and I' am going to propose next week! Which is also why I need your help to plan out exactly what I'm going to do? Now let's go we have to pick up the ring and be back here to meet Brooke so we can get the ball rolling on the proposal." Nathan said walking to the car.
"Good morning Mr. Scott your ring is ready for pick up!" Douglas said.
"Thanks!" Nathan said as Douglas handed him the ring.
"So Luc what do you think?" Nathan said opening the ring box when they were in the car.
"Wow Nate its beautiful! Lucas said mockingly.
"Shut up Lucas its perfect now let's go back to my place because Brooke is probably waiting for us and she's already pissed at me!" Nathan said.
"Nathan Scott where the hell havew you been I've been waiting for like 5 minutes!" Brooke said as Nathan came into the house.
"What the hell Brooke how did you get into Nate's house?" Lucas asked.
"Oh she knows where the spare key is I always find her inside when I invite her over." Nathan replied
"Ok Now let's get planning!" Brooke said sitting down on the couch.
"Ok!" Nathan and Lucas said.
"Where and When?" Brooke asked.
"Um next week at my beach party." Nathan said they spent the rest of the day planning (Sorry but you have to keep reading to find out about the actual proposal).
They finally finished planning around five. Lucas knew his job and Brooke knew hers.
"Oh Nathan after this I'm not mad at you but just be careful with her ok!" Brooke advised.
"Ok Brookie thanks for everything!" Nathan said hugging her and then walking her to the door.
"Oh wait Brooke can you like take her somewhere Saturday morning because I'm asking her dad's permission that day?" Nathan said.
"Sure thing Nate bye." Brooke said and walked to her car.
Nathan turned around went inside and texted Haley he ended up going over there and hanging out while her father was out.
They had spent all of their days hanging out in the afternoon and him speaking in at night. Until Saturday the day before her father left. That Day Haley woke up to a note instead of Nathan staring at her. It said Sorry Haley I gotta do something this morning I'll call you this afternoon Love you, From Nathan. She was upset but went downstairs to see what her father was up to. But instead she found a note saying he would be home around two and was playing golf with a business colleague. Not two minutes later did she get a call?
"Good morning Haley who I haven't seen in almost a week!" Brooke said.
"Good Morning best friend." Haley replied.
"If you're not too busy for me can we go shopping for something to wear to Nate's back to school party?"Brooke asked.
"Um sure just let me get dressed and then well go." Haley said.
"Ok I'll be at your house in 10 minutes!"Brooke said and hung up.
-------------------------At the golf course----------------------------------------------------
"Good morning Mr. James!" Nathan said walking up to him.
"Morning Nate and once again its Jimmy." Jimmy said.
"Oh ok well we should go if we want to keep our tee time." Nathan said walking towards the golf karts.
"So Nate what did you want to talk to me about son?" Jimmy asked.
"Well let's play a little and then talk." Nathan said.
"Ok then!" Jimmy said as they approached the first hole.
---------------------At the Mall-------------------------------------------------------------
"So Brookie how have you been?" Haley asked
"Well I have been missing you taking Peyton and Jake to parties is not as much fun as you!" Brooke confessed.
"I'm sorry I haven't been spending much time with you Brooke! It's just me and Ante are always together but I promise you know I will make more Brookie time!" Haley said.
"Alright Hales! Now let's get shopping! To suburban Filth!" Brooke said pulling Haley in that direction.
---------------------------------Back at the Golf course--------------------------------------------------
"So Jimmy I wanted to talk to you about me and Haley!" Nathan said as the approached the thirteenth hole.
"Uh huh?" Jimmy said putting his ball down.
"I want to marry Haley!" Nathan said causing Mr. James to miss his shot.
"What?" Jimmy said.
"I want to marry Haley sir and I've come to ask you for your blessing!" Nathan said in a strong tone.
"Well Nathan that's a lot to take in right now!" Jimmy said.
"well It's not Like I want us to get married right away I want a long engagement but I just want Haley to know that I want to marry her one day!"Nathan said.
"Well um Nathan I see that you truly love her and I support you guys fully even though I think this is a bit fast but It's also my wife's decision and she told me to come here and break you guys up! However once I saw you guys together I knew that it was true love just like when I met Haley's mom! Now I know my wife's going to be upset but Nathan I give you my blessing!"Jimmy said.
"Oh thank you Mr. James and I promise to take care of her and not let anything hurt her including myself." Nathan replied.
"I know you will Nate." Jimmy said as they reached the 18th and final hole.
"Well thank you Mr. James I'll see you Sunday before you leave." Nathan said walking back to his car after the golf game.
--------------------------- At Haley's house-------------------------------------------------------------
"So I think you should wear the new black dolce and Gabanna bikini and the new black and red dress with your black wedged flip flops." Brookie said
"Really?" Haley said.
"Yeah and I'll wear the one that says hottie on the ass." Brooke said
"That is so you!" Haley said getting the ice cream out of the fridge.
"Let's watch she's the Man" Brooke said sitting on the couch with a tub of cookies and cream ice cream.
"Ok Hot guys with no shirts on I'm up for that." Haley said popping in the movie and sitting down next to Haley with her own tub of vanilla ice cream.
They watched movies until nine just spending the time together even when her father came Haley stayed with Brooke it wasn't until ten that Brooke went home because she was so tired. So Haley said goodnight to her father and went upstairs and like every night the minute her light was on there was a knock at the window.
"Hello Nate" Haley said perturbed.
"Hey Babe I'm sorry I didn't call but I got tied up at my uncle and aunts after my appointment this morning. But at least I'm here now." Nathan said lying on her bed.
"Fine I forgive you but only because you not being here meant I got to spend some much needed time with my Brookie." Haley replied sliding into bed with him. They fell asleep minutes later in their special position.
They were woken up around seven the next morning by Haley's father knocking on the door. So Nate once again ran into the closet and Haley opened the door.
"Good morning Haley-bop! We gotta get up I need to be at the airport soon!" Jimmy said down the hall to his bedroom.
"Ok Dad I'll call Nathan to get ready and come pick us up!" Haley said.
"Good morning beautiful!" Nathan said opening the closet and kissing her.
"Good morning boy friend! Now go home get dressed and come back!" Haley said kissing him and opening her window.
"Fine good bye babe." Nathan said and climbed down the tree and ran the front yard. Haley quickly got dressed and made eggs and coffee.
"Here dad! Haley said handing him eggs and coffee as he sat down at the table. The doorbell rang moments later and Jimmy got up to answer it.
"Oh Brooke! Good morning." Jimmy said.
"Good Morning Jimmy sorry to bother you guys I just couldn't let you go without saying good bye!" Brooke said hugging him and leaving.
"Good Bye Brooke!" Jimmy said closing the door. Before he could walk back to the kitchen the door bell rang again.
"Good morning Jimmy!" Nathan said.
"Morning Nathan come on in well be ready to go in a minute." Jimmy said walking into the kitchen with Nathan behind him.
"Morning Hales" Nathan said kissing her forehead and grabbing a cup of coffee.
"Morning Nathan!" Haley said and went back to eating her eggs.
"So I'll go get my bags and then well be off!" Jimmy said putting his mug and plate in the sink.
Haley ran up behind Nathan and planted a big kiss on his mouth.
"Come on Hales it's like an hour we have to wait till he's gone!" Nathan said pulling her off of him just in time to grab Mr. James bags as he came down the stairs.
"Come on Haley-bop let's go!" Jimmy said walking to the car.
"Ok dad let me get my shoes!" Haley said grabbing her shoes and closing the front door behind her.
They reached the airport about 20 minutes later.
"Well Good bye daddy." Haley said hugging him.
"Goodbye Haley-bop I'll miss you." Jimmy said.
"Good bye Nate! Take care of her for me will you!" Jimmy said.
"Will do! Good bye Mr. Scott!" Nathan said.
"Bye Kids!" Jimmy said walking through the airport doors. With that Haley got into the passenger seat and Nathan in the driver's seat and they drove off towards his house. But little did Haley know the next week would change her life forever.
