A.N Ok just to clear up a little of the confusion that the first chapter has probably aroused. I just want to give you guys a little bit of background on Nathan and Haley's past relationship. They were a couple in high school however they did not get married. Haley's departure was rather sudden. Now as for the rest well that will come out as the story progresses. Thanx to everyone who reviewed chapter one and said they would like to see it continued. This chapter is quite a short one but I will try to make the next one longer providing of course that you guys are interested in seeing it continued.

A few of my reviewers were a bit confused by the bride to be comment at the end of the last chapter. Unfortunately for you guys that was kind of intentional. That is one of the questions that you will have to wait to have answered as the story progresses. Hopefully you won't hold it against me.

Hope you enjoy the second chapter.

Chapter Two

Clearing her throat abruptly she tried once again to speak his name.

"Nathan. What do you want?"

"Can't a guy just ring up and see how his fiancée's doing? I mean it's been so long since we've had a chance to chat."

"I really don't think we have anything to talk about. Goodbye Nathan."

Having said that she hung up the phone and tried to relax back in to the tub. Desperately she tried to quell the panic that rose up in her throat after that conversation with him but it was no use because obviously some things never changed and one of them was Nathan's ability to completely get under her skin with just a few well-chosen words.

"Actually I don't agree. I think there's a lot of things that you and I need to discuss after all we are engaged."

Suddenly his voice came again and she stared at the phone in shock wondering if she had somehow managed to hit the loudspeaker button instead of hanging up on him as she intended. But her inspection of the phone showed that it was indeed turned off and she realised that the voice had come from behind her. Whirling around her worst fears were confirmed as she saw Nathan leaning nonchalantly against the gate that led into her back yard.

"Damn Hales if I'd known about the hot tub I would have bought my swimsuit but then again I guess that's not really necessary is it between engaged people such as ourselves."

"Will you stop saying that? We're not engaged." Her temper flaring even though she was sure that that was what he intended and she knew that she was simply playing into his hands.

As she prepared to launch into a tirade of verbal abuse the sight of him removing his shirt halted her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she screamed at him.

He looked at her nonplussed "Isn't it obvious?" he asked his hand drifting down to his belt buckle. "I'm getting ready to join you. I can hardly get in wearing my clothes now can I?"

She couldn't stop her gaze coming to rest on his muscled stomach and chest and she felt a strange fluttering in her stomach as her eyes followed the trail of hair down under the waistband of his jeans. She almost groaned out loud at the sight of him. What the hell is wrong with me? How can he still be having this effect on me after so many years apart? I'm not that silly little hormonal teenager I was when I last saw him and yet I don't seem to be able to control myself any better now than I did then.

Nathan was watching her watch him and the way her eyes were moving over his body. He smirked to himself. Oh this is going to be too easy. He could tell simply by looking at her eyes that she was waging some sort of internal battle to get control of herself and for the moment at least it appeared she was losing. He pulled his belt loose from his jeans and slowly unbuttoned the top button his eyes never leaving her face the whole time. He removed his jeans quickly and stood before her wearing only a pair of boxer shorts. The sight of him sliding his thumbs inside of the waistband of his shorts was enough to break through Haley's hormonal haze and she snapped her eyes up to his face.

"Stop it" she demanded standing up abruptly.

"I don't know what you're doing here Nathan but you need to put your clothes back on and leave now."

Nathan's eyes slid appreciatively over her dripping form and he asked, "are you sure about that Hales? Are you sure you really want me to just leave?"

"You know what Nathan you're right I don't want you just to leave. First I want you to…"

Nathan's eyes lit up in anticipation of what he hoped her next words would be, something along the lines of getting into that hot tub with her with any luck.

"First" she repeated more forcefully "I want you to tell me how the fuck you found out where I live and got hold of my phone number?"

Nathan stared at her dumbfounded for a moment. This was really not how he had hoped this conversation would end. He looked at her more closely trying to gauge whether it would be worth attempting to convince her that their time could be spent in a much more entertaining fashion. But he knew that if he pushed her too hard now then he would never be able to bring his plan to fruition.

Sighing in frustration he picked up his jeans, "Frank Logan gave me your address and phone number. He knew we went to school together so saw no reason to doubt it when I told him that I wanted to catch up on old times with you."

Finally feeling her composure reasserting itself she snapped at him, "Well do me a favour and lose it will you. I have no interest in seeing or hearing from you again."

Stepping out of the hot tub she grabbed her towel and wrapped it firmly around herself. "Now if you'll excuse me. I have things to do. Feel free to show yourself out."

Without a backward glance she stormed into the house and collapsed into a chair in the kitchen visibly shaken after her confrontation with Nathan.

Nathan stood for a moment watching her walk away lost in thought. Damn she looks good. I'm going to have some fun putting my plan into action. Raising his voice so that she could hear him even from her place in the kitchen he called "We are going to talk about things Haley. I was serious when I told you we have a lot to talk about."

I am not going to let you get away that easily Haley. I let you go far too easily the last time and theres no way I'm going to allow that to happen again. There's too much history between us. Too much has happened that you have to pay for. A bitter smile crossed his face as he thought this and if Haley had seen it she would quite rightly have been afraid.

As he went to leave he heard the sound of her phone ringing once again and moved closer hoping to overhear something that he could use against her.

Haley glared at the phone seriously contemplating not answering it but she was determined to prove to herself that she was stronger than that. Nathan Scott did not hold that much power over her. Still it took another couple of rings before she could gather her courage to answer it.

"Hello" she said rather tentatively.

"Hi Honey, how was your first day at the new job?"

The sound of the voice at the other end of the line immediately resulted in tears pouring down her face and loud sobs erupting from her throat.

"I'm so sorry."
