"you are stupid, a jerk, an ass and... let me think... STUPID"
Haley was putting a dressing on Ryan's head and slapped him in the shoulder. Everything was running in her head. She was hugging Lucas and after Ryan was hitting Luke and Nathan was trying to separate them.
"I'm hurt here and it's your fault so stop slapping me"
"you deserve it and why did you think it was okay to jump on Lucas like this ? he didn't do nothing!"
Ryan groaned with pain and looked at her sister. She didn't wear make-up and her hair was free on her shoulders. He was protective, he knew that but only because she was somebody pure, innocent, naive and cute. He didn't want boys around her. she was his little sister not someone's girlfriend or worse.
"sorry, I jumped to conclusions, I'm sorry. Lucas is a saint blah blah blah..."
"look, it was a friendly hug nothing more.. did you see our tongues out of our mouth ?"
"Gross, stop putting these weird ideas in my head"
"I know it's hard for you to picture me with someone but I grew-up and I want to have a boyfriend, Lucas or someone else, I want to be a girl like any others"
his sister with a boy ? no way, over his dead body ! Ryan tried to think about some excuses for her being away from boys but didn't find anything except 'you know you want to be a nun' and he doesn't think his sister'd like this one.
"Ryan, I ask you this as a favor, for me.. for you.. for every others boys in this town, let me live my life, I need to make some mistakes and I promise that if a guy uses me for anything I don't want, I'll tell you and you could kick his sorry ass!"
Ryan doesn't answer and looked away.
"Nathan, nothing happened, she wanted to tell me that we were friends, nothing more"
Lucas was trying to explain to his brother why he was hugging Haley but Nathan didn't want to listen. What a stubborn! He was glad that Nathan intervened when Ryan decided to jump on him but now he was thinking that maybe Nathan wanted just to kill him himself !
"Nate, believe me. You know I wouldn't do that to you"
"shut up Lucas"
"no, we need to talk. Haley was telling me she wasn't interested in me not before and not now"
"Lucas, I told you to"
"yeah, I heard but I won't.. you know why ? because I thought about all of this.. yesterday, she drank during the 'I never' so it means she had feeling for somebody and if it's not me who else ? Not Tim ! or Jake, everybody knows that Jake is off course because of Peyton so it means it was you... I mean you are my little brother so you don't look so bad huh ?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sexy"
"don't go there with me Nate!"
Haley knocked on the door and the two boys turned to see her. she smiled at Lucas mouthed an 'I'm sorry'.
"Nathan, can I talk to you for a minute please ?"
"yeah sure ! Luke, you can clean now"
"great, I'm hurt emotionnaly and physically and I have to clean, just great"
Nathan followed Haley in the hallway and bumped into her when she stopped suddenly.
"listen, like I said to my stupid brother I can, I want and I do date anybody I like. You need to stop this. I know your gave a hard time to Lucas because of me and my stupid attitude yesterday..."
"Haley, do you have somebody in mind ? you know about the boyfriend thing ?"
"yeah, I have someone but something tells me he is not interested"
"he is crazy !"
"no, I think he likes me like his sister"
she kissed him on the cheek and went away, almost running. Nathan touched his cheek and saw Lucas at the door frame of his room, smiling like never.
"did you hear ? this guy likes him like his sister and it's not me !"
"so ?"
"so ? Are you really that dumb ? It's you, she likes you..."
Nathan watched his brother. Could it be him ? the man she wanted so much ?
Did he understand what she meant ? This was the question that Haley had in her head. Nathan was the one for her, she knew that. She wanted him to be her first kiss since she was 10 when he told her she was the girl he liked the most.
"what are you thinking about ?"
"how to piss you off!"
"easy Tigger... and stop being friend with Brooke, she has a bad influence on you"
Haley laughed. It was good to be back at the normal with Ryan, she missed him so much even if they were fighting all the time. They were in the front garden and saw Holly and Jason sitting on the porch. They sat besides them.
"so Ryan, what did you do this time ?"
"I don't know what you are talking about"
Holly pressed the band-Air and laughed when Ryan pulled away in pain.
"I fell nothing more"
"okay, Haley what did he do ?"
"he hit Lucas but Lucas hit him too !"
Jason and Holly laughed followed by Haley. Nathan came running toward them and stopped in front of Haley.
"God, it's a long run from my house to here... Haley, we need to talk"
Nathan was breathing hardly, Haley got up and put a hand on his shoulder.
"are you okay ? and after, you say you are an athlete !"
"come on, we need to talk now"
he took her hand and came in her house with her. Ryan took out some gums from his pocket. Holly and Jason watched him like he was crazy. Ryan didn't tell anything about Nathan and Haley alone in the house or more precisely in her bedroom and he acted like nothing happened. He watched them when he noticed them. Finally, after his sighing he finally he offered them a gum.
they came into her bedroom and Haley sat on her bed, Nathan closed the door and leaned against it. He sighed and looked at her. He saw her blushing, she was always doing this, blushing was so natural for her. She looked so small on her huge bed.
"Haley, what you said ealier.. did you talk about me ?"
"Nathan, just drop it ok"
"no, it matters to me.. did you talk about me when you said you like someone but he doesn't want you back ?"
Haley got up from her bed and sat on her desk, watching throught it to see Crystal and Max laughing to something that Jason had say.
"listen Nathan, I know we are friends and there is Ryan and..."
Nathan was behind her and put his hands on her hips. He started to kiss her neck, nibling her ear. Haley moaned and her left hand came into his hair while her right hand was on his on her hips.
"Hales, I want you too.."
Haley shivered at the tone of his voice and started kissing his cheek.
"Nathan, not here. There is all my brothers and..."
somebody knowked on her door and the two of them separated immediatly. Ryan came into the room, watching Nathan and Haley. Both of them were red and Haley was breathing heavily. Who could think that some kisses from Nathan Scott could take her breath like this ? Nathan didn't seem too bothered by the interruption.
"hey Nathan, do you want to eat here ? Holly is making dinner"
"oh, I don't know... okay, I love when Holly is making dinner"
"okay, I'm going to tell her"
Ryan was out before Haley could say something. Nathan bit his lip and looked at Haley. She was pacing now. He scared her. How could he think that he wouldn't scare her kissing her neck and telling her he wanted her ? he saw her walking to her bathroom and tried to stop her.
"Haley, come on, don't run. Not this time"
"and what do you want me to do Nathan ?"
He looked at his hand on her arm and started to move toward her. He locked his eyes with hers and leaned to kiss her, she pulled away.
"do you want me Nathan ? I mean do you want mean like you wanted this girl yesterday ?"
"what are you talking about ?"
"the blonde yesterday, after the game, you were chatting with her when I left"
"yes, I remember, you were saying you were in love with Lucas"
Haley pulled away and looked hurt. She thought he believe her about not loving Lucas.
"I never said that. Look Nathan, you should go downstairs I have to change and... God, just go downstairs"
"you can't pretend that this thing between us didn't happen"
"well, we are in my house which is full of brothers who are all athletes so if you want to yell you were all over me, go ahead !"
Nathan sighed and sat on the bed. He put his head in his hands and sighed once again.
"look, what I said earlier was true, you are amazing and I want you... well not want you like this but I want you in my life like a friend, or a girlfriend.. God even a fuck buddy, you can choose but you have to be near me"
Haley walked toward Nathan and put her hands on his shoulders, he looked up at her and put his hands on her hips. Haley leaned to kiss him but at the last moment Nathan got up and leaned himself, he placed some small kiss on her cheek before kissing her on the lips. The kiss was quick and Nathan moved back to look at her. She had her eyes closed, her hands was still on his shoulders. She didn't move and Nathan was asking himself if she was still breathing.
"Haley ? you still here ?"
"it was good"
Nathan smiled and leaned again to kiss her fully now. His tongue traced the outline of her lips to let him enter. She smiled against his mouth and let escape a giggle.
"be serious Haley, I'm trying to kiss you right here!"
"I'm serious, it's just, you tickled me, that's all but you can do it again"
Nathan smiled and kissed her again, this time she didn't giggle, she just let her tongue moving with Nathan's. Her first kiss was with the one she wanted and it was perfect. Nothing could be wrong right now, Nathan was holding her and kissing her. It was the perfect moment but maybe not the perfect place. When the door was opened and one of her brothers gasped, the couple turned to see Max waiting at the door, embarrassed and a little amused.
"Haley, Nathan, dinner is ready"
Haley was next to Nathan, thanks to Max who placed them in front of him and said that he wanted to see a guy who is almost of the family. Max was enjoying this, the tension, the fear of being discovered.
"so Nathan, do you have a girlfriend now ? It's been since a long time we didn't see you here that we don't know anything about your life anymore"
"no, I don't have one."
Max winked at Haley who blushed more again.
"you like someone or maybe you want it to be a secret ?"
"Max, you embarassed him, stop it"
"Hales, come on, I want to know. It's the same with Ryan or you... if you'd date someone, I'd want to know, it's just family Haley"
"like she can date with you guys, if anyone is too near her, you scared the hell out of him except if it's Lucas and Nathan ! I doubt eve Jake and Tim can hug her"
"yes, you are right Crys, any guy who is too close to our sister is a guy dead !"
Nathan choked his food and looked at Haley who was looking at Max. Holly watched Jason from across the table but he didn't notice it, neither the fact that everytime that Nathan put his napkin on his thigh, he would touch Haley's arm or leg.
When the dinner finished, Haley walked Nathan to the door, he kept one hand on her back, touching her was always good for him and after a dinner like this he needed some comfort. All the time, Max had talking about relationship and how a guy could be dead in less than 10 min with Jason or him.
"I'm sorry about max, you know how he is... he isn't bad and he doesn't hold anything against you because you see he didn't told to Ryan or Jason what he saw earlier"
"it's okay Hales, Max was just being Max. I wanted to know something... you and me, us.. God, is it an us now ? or do you just want to be friend with me ? and if you want an us, I have to start some combat sport and you know I like you..."
"maybe you should talk a little louder, I don't think that Mrs Peterson, the neighbour heard you. Do you want me to cry on your dead body ?"
they went out of the house and Haley looked to see if any of her siblings was at one of the window. Once she was sure that no one was here, she started to play with Nathan's shirt.
"do you really want me to be your girlfriend or whatever you called it, because if you just want me in your bed because I'm the last virgin in Tree hill, I don't think we can work"
"I had already answer to that, I need you in my life and whatever you want to call yourself, it'll work for me. Listen, I know it happened fast but maybe we could spend the day together tomorrow and have fun"
"yeah, find a way for us to be alone because I don't really think that ryan will like to hear that we want to spend the day alone tomorrow, you know how he is !"
"yes, I know because I'm his best friend and I know that if we play well for tomorrow, he will never have a clue about the two of us, tell him you want ot spend the day with the girls and I will tell him that I have something to do with my father or my uncle, simple as that"
Haley sighed and buried her head in his chest. Immediatly, his arms encircled her and he kissed her hair. She was so small in her arms like when she was on her bed. No he didn't have this thoughts about her, he was withe her since what two hours and he was starting to picture them in bed. Well, little Nathan wasn't okay with him so Nathan had to pull away quick.
"I call you tomorrow morning, let me know what you want"
he kissed her quickly on the lips and ran to his car. Haley watched him go and smiled. What a good day she had, first she was sad and after her brother hit Lucas and she told to Nathan her feelings and he kissed her, one of her brothers found out about them and they had the worse dinner she ever had and after, Nathan wanted her to lie to her brothers... Good start in their relationship.
Brooke ran across her house, yelling her friend's name like a crazy woman.
"Peyton, Pey... you won't believe what I saw... Peyton... Peyton... stop listenning to this crappy music and listen to your best friend here ! I saw something really really interesting... Guess who was kissing somebody in my yard's neighbour ? you don't know, I tell you... our little Haley was kissing Bad boy or toy-boy whatever we decide to call him tonight. She was kissing him and not this friendly's kiss they always did... no, on the mouth well I was to far to know if their tongue were playing with each other but..."
"Brooke... first, stop and breathe... you need to breathe and second Haley James kissing Nathan Scott..; well that could be believable if you hadn't tell me it was in her garden which means near her house where all her crazy brothers live"
Brooke was jumping on the bed and Peyton couldn't do nothing except watch her.
"they were kissing... she is so not in love with Lucas ! He is all mine !"
Peyton laughed a little but was taken aback when Brooke catched her arm and forced her to jump on the bed with her.
