Chapter 35

"I really have to go." I mumbled against Nathan lips as we stood outside the door of my apartment.

"Come on. How about five minutes in the elevator?" He asked me while moving his lips down to my neck.

"Hmm, as tempting as that sounds, you have basketball practice right now." I said while smiling as I pulled away from him.

"Damn." He said with a slight chuckle.

"I'll tell you what." I said while grabbing a fistful of Nathans shirt and pulling him closer to me. "If you come over tonight, I'll give you a hell of a lot more than just five minutes in an elevator." A low growl came out of Nathan's mouth. "You are so on Haley James." I smiled as he pulled me in for another soft kiss.

"Okay I'm going to go before Coach K kicks my ass for being late."

"Later." I squeezed his hand as he walked away.

"Nathan!" I called out just as he made it to the elevator.

"Thanks again for coming with me and everything. " I said sincerely.

"Stop thanking me James!" Nathan called out with a smile on his face as the elevator doors open. "But then again if you really want to thank me," He started with a grin on his face.

"Go!" I interrupted him before he could finish his sentence knowing what he was about to say.

"You are so sexy when you blush." He called out before the elevator doors closed on him. I shook my head with a smile on my face and entered my apartment lugging in the duffel bag that I brought on the trip with me.

"I'm home!" I called out. "Anyone here?"

"In the kitchen Haley!" I heard Peyton's voice cry out.

"Hey guys." I greeted as I walked into the kitchen and found Peyton and Rachel at the island working on what looked like a seating chart.

"Haley!" Rachel exclaimed jumping up from her chair and giving me a hug. "How did everything go?" She asked while pushing me down into the vacant chair.

"Everything went surprisingly well." I said with a nod of my head.

"Where's Brooke?" I asked looking around.

"Oh you mean the wedding Nazi?" Peyton asked sarcastically. "She's in her room on the phone bitching at the florist."

"Nice." I commented.

"I asked for lilies not roses! How hard is that to get? Isn't this what you do for a living?" Just then I heard Brooke yelling and soon enough she entered the kitchen her phone attached to her ear, not even noticing my arrival.

"I don't care!" She exclaimed while opening the refrigerator and grabbing a bottle of water. "Get it done!" She then shut her phone and looked up at me.

"Tutor-girl!" She yelled while walking over to me and giving me a hug. "How did everything go? Are you okay?" She questioned me. Just as I was about to answer a gasp escaped her mouth and she pointed an accusing finger in my face. "You totally had sex!"

This girl is a freak of nature.

"W-What?" I stuttered. "How did you know that?" I asked.

"Oh please." She said while taking the other vacant seat at the island. "You've got that I got laid look on your face."

"She's right!" Peyton exclaimed after studying my face after a few seconds.

"Okay, okay, Nathan and I slept together." I said a blush forming on my cheeks.

"About time slut, that whole virgin thing was getting old." Rachel said teasingly and she let out a laugh as I lighting smacked her on the arm.

"So how did things go with your dad?" Peyton said after a few minutes.

"Um, I think that things are going to be okay with us. We talked and got some things out in the open and we are at least going to try." I said happy with the fact that my life was getting back on track.

"Good for you Hales." Peyton said while reaching over and patting my arm.

"Yeah it's just going to be so surreal you know, talking to him again. I gave him my phone number and he said he would call me when he gets released from the hospital."

"So anyway what's been going on around here?" I asked changing the subject. I looked around the apartment and it seemed like a bridal magazine exploded. I saw Peyton and Rachel exchange looks.

"Great."

"Fantastic." They replied at the same time.

I tried to stifle a laugh at the look on their faces. It must have been hard trying to deal with Brooke. "I just can't wait to get this over with!" Brooke exclaimed. "Sometimes people are so hard to deal with."

"Peyton!" Brooke yelled a few minutes later after picking up the seating chart Peyton was working on and examining it. "Why did you put my mom and dad at the same table do you want World War III to start at my reception?"

"Brooke," Peyton said exasperated. "You told me to put them there together!"

"Well it was a test and you failed." Brooke said indignantly as Peyton threw her hands up in the air. Brooke's ring tone rang out causing her to leaving the room screaming at the person on the other end.

It was at that point that I couldn't hold it in any longer and I burst out laughing.

"Oh you're laughing now tutor slut but you have no idea, it's been like this the last couple of days and now that you are back you'll be subject to it too." Rachel said with a snicker as my laughter stopped.

"Well it can't be that bad right?" I said trying to look on the bright side.

"Haley, who are you kidding?" Peyton asked me. "Did you not just see what happened?"

"Ugh." I groaned.

"The perks of being Brooke Davis' Maid's of Honor." Rachel said while giving me a pat on the back.

"I can't believe that Brooke and Luke are getting married in like two weeks." I told Nathan.

"I can't believe that school ends in a week." Nathan commented from his spot on my bed. It had been two weeks since we got back from that trip from visiting my father.

"I know it's so weird, the year went by so fast." I dropped the CD's I was trying to organize and joined Nathan on the bed.

"So how did your talk with your dad go?" He asked me. My dad had called me a couple of days ago when he got released from the hospital.

"It was good, we talked and I think that he's coming down here to visit me in a couple of weeks when he gets recuperates and better."

"That's great Hales." He said while smiling over at me.

"Yeah, I'm glad we're talking again." I said reaching for his hand and moving closer to him.

"So you and the boys excited about moving in with us?" I questioned with a teasing smile. Since school ended in a week the boys had to move out of their dorms and we had to stay in Durham because of Brooke and Luke's wedding so the boys were going to stay with us after school ended until the wedding was over.

"It's going to be so much fun having all nine of us under one roof." Nathan said sarcastically.

"Oh but look on the bright side, we will have this room to ourselves every night." I whispered seductively into his ears.

"I like the way you think." He said while moving to plant a soft kiss on my neck.

"So I've been meaning to ask you this, what are you planning on doing for the summer?" He asked me a few minutes later.

"Well I always planned on going back to California." I said nonchalantly.

"But," I started when I saw Nathan's face fall. "Now a day's Tree Hill is looking like a pretty great place to spend my summer." I said with a smile.

"Really?" Nathan asked happily.

"Yup, you see there's this boy that I'm absolutely crazy about and he lives there. How do you think he would feel about me spending my summer with him?" I asked while laughing.

"I think that he would be honored." Nathan answered me while forcefully capturing my lips into his.

"This is going to be great Hales, my parents gave me their beach house as sort of a graduation present last year, we could stay there together."

"Sounds perfect." I said while leaning up to kiss him.

"I hate school!" Brooke declared in the library a few days later.

"Yes we all know Brooke, we've heard you complain about it for the last hour." I said annoyed.

Brooke, Lucas, Nathan and I were all in the library trying to get our papers done for our classes, but Brooke's whining proved to be a distraction.

"I'm sorry but I can't concentrate in here, it smells like old books." She said. "I'm gonna go." She said colleting her books.

"Where are you going?" Nathan questioned.

"To the one place I can concentrate." When we all gave her expectant looks go let out an exasperated sigh. "The mall."

"She is one of a kind." Lucas aid after she left. "But that's why I love her. I'm going to head out too you guys, I have to type up my paper and I left my laptop in the dorm."

"Bye Luke." I said giving him a small wave.

"Later Bro." Nathan said while bumping his fist with Lucas'.

"How are you coming along with your paper?" I asked Nathan once we were alone.

"Surprisingly well." He commented shocked. "I would have never gotten through this English lit class without your help Hales."

"I charge by the hour." I said teasingly.

"Good to know." He stated. "So is there any way that instead of paying you in cash I can repay you with sex." He whispered humorously a few minutes later.

I let out a small gasp. "Why Nathan Scott, who do you think I am?" I asked mocking innocence.

"Someone who can't resist her hot boyfriend." He said with a grin

"Oh Lord, the ego is coming out of hiding." I said jokingly.

"So what do you say?" He said laughing while I gave him a look.

"You serious?" I questioned.

"Hell yeah." He nodded.

"Here?" I asked laughing.

He gave me a look while gesturing to a closet behind some book stacks. I looked at him and a small smile spread across my face. "Just so you know," I started while trying not to laugh. "You owe me a lot of money."I breathed out.

"That is perfectly fine with me baby." I laughed as Nathan took me by the hand and practically dragged me into the closet and slammed the door behind us.
