Hey guys! I'm finally back with chapter 4. Espect some Naley-action. But only some. :) Anyways, let me take a moment to show my respects to all of you who reviewed. You. Guys. ROCK! Seriously! I love you all! I'll name my first born baby Reviewers". Sounds catchy, right? Then again first I'd have to get over my hatred of babies and actually make one but you know. Tomaeto, tomato. And forget that last bit and please just concentrate on the story. :D (I'm psychotic, I know).

Chapter 4

Haley James was officially pissed.

She had had to cancel her tutoring session because she had just spent two hours on the phone. Now, while on her way to find the person responsible so she could beat him to death, she was feeling humiliated, angry and revengeful. With her high heels clicking, she made her way through the almost empty hallways of Tree Hill High. The few people who were still lingering by their lockers quickly deserted to the nearest empty class room without bothering to close their locker doors in fear of the wrath of Haley James.

She quickened her pace and looked out the window at the parking lot. His car was still there along with the rest of the basketball players' cars so she knew they weren't done with practise yet. She let out a load growl while yanking the gym doors open furiously. She stopped in her tracks when she discovered it empty. She slowly turned her head to look around the entire gym and noticed few cheerleaders here and there but no sign of the basketball players.

Or one player in particular who was about to suffer a long, horrible, painful death.

Her hawk-like eyes scanned the room and stopped at the boys' locker room doors. Haley let out an evil smile. He was trapped. With narrowed eyes she started her way through the basketball court her eyes never leaving the locker room doors.

"Hey, Hales-"

"Not now, Brooke." Haley snapped without stopping her pace or even looking at her.

Haley yanked the boys' locker room door open and slammed it shut behind her. She stopped when all the players turned to look at her. Some of them were in the middle of undressing, some were coming out of the showers, and some were naked like the day they were born staring at her in shock. Apparently it wasn't normal to have a girl there. Who would've known? Really.

"Scott!" Haley yelled furiously looking for him while ignoring the rest of the players.

"Yeah?" two answers came from the back of room.

Haley started her way towards the noise. Dodging a few point guards and a butt naked Tim Smith, she stopped in her tracks when she saw the two Scott brothers in the back of the room. Nathan was once again shirtless wearing only a pair of basketball shorts while getting something from his locker. Lucas was wearing a pair of jeans and in the process of putting his shirt on. When Lucas' head appeared from the shirt, he looked at her in shock.

"Haley?" Lucas asked confused. Nathan's head snapped towards the furious Haley. He had never seen her so mad and he actually wished he hadn't been so mean to her lately.

When she heard her name being mentioned, she started to walk fast towards them.

"Look, I don't know what I did but-" Nathan started in a panicked voice but didn't get to finish his sentence because of a load bang from a slammed locker door. But to Nathan's surprise it wasn't his locker door that Haley slammed shut furiously, but his brother's.

"What the hell did you do!" she yelled while shoving Lucas against the wall. Nathan looked at Lucas in pity.

"Hales, what are you-" Lucas asked in a confused, scared voice.

"Don't act innocent!"

"I haven't done anything." he said defensively.

"Did you talk to my sister!"

"Oh. That." Lucas said uncomfortably while taking a step to the side to get away from her. "I didn't call her, she called me."

"And you told her I'm living with him!" she asked pointing at Nathan.

"No!" Lucas said but then added in a quiet tone. "She guessed." he finished lamely. Even Nathan shook his head disappointed at his brother's lying abilities.

"Now, did she?" Haley said sarcastically. "Because Quinn called me after school and gave me a 2-hour-lecture about safe sex and living with boys. She's actually thinking of quitting her job and coming here to live with me." Haley said furiously.

"I'm sorry, it just slipped." Lucas said rubbing his hand where Haley had hit him.

"Do you have any idea what you have done!" she asked panicking. "Her relationship with my mom and dad are bad as it is but this is just making it worse! You know how she feels about their parental skills and methods and this is just pushing the limits!"

"How did your mom take it when you told her about Nathan?"

"Like expected. Told me to use pepper spray if necessary." she said with a smile even though she was still angry at him. Her smile then faded. "And she specifically told me not to say anything about this little living arrangement to Quinn because mom knew Quinn would flip out." Haley said.

"I'm sorry but she used those D.A skills to grill me. It was awful."

"Well, I can't wait for Quinn to call mom and diss her. Then she's gonna call me and tell me how bad parents mom and dad are. And then when I'm done with her, mom's gonna call me and cry and complain how awful Quinn is. And then I'm gonna call mom and tell her Quinn didn't mean it and then I'm gonna call Quinn and say she should relax. Do you see the pattern here?" Haley finished angrily.

"I'm so sorry. I know how Quinn gets when it comes to your mom."

"Yeah, next Christmas should be a blast." Haley said sarcastically.

"Look, buddy-" Lucas started.

"Don't 'buddy' me! How are you gonna make this up to me?" she asked getting right to the point.

"I'm gonna start by begging on my knees for your forgiveness."

"Good start. And?" Haley asked with a less angry voice.

"Then I'm gonna send your mom flowers, call her and apologise and let her know that you had no part in the whole fiasco."

"She'll appreciate that." She said in a normal voice. "But what else?"

"I'm gonna take you to a movie and dinner and pay for everything."

"Everything?" she asked.

"Every pop corn, sprite and M&M."

"Even Skittles?" she asked in a hopeful, quiet voice.

"Even Skittles." He said. Haley still looked a bit hesitated. Lucas grinned widely while thinking of the perfect way to make it up to her.

"And then I'm gonna play minigolf with you and we can a have an old school water balloon fight." Lucas said grinning. Nathan looked at him like he was crazy but Haley smiled.

"Can I fill some of mine with milk like we used to?"

"Of course."

"You just got yourself out of the 'Friendship Doghouse'." Haley said grinning while giving him a hug.

"Great." He said and was about to say something when a deep voice interrupted them.

"What the hell is going on in here!" The trio turned to look at a fuming Whitey.

"Nothing, coach. Just had to yell at Lucas about something." Haley said innocently. Surprisingly Whitey smiled a bit.

"Can I see you in my office, Ms. James?" Haley waved Lucas goodbye and followed Whitey in his office.

"So, I'm sorry about barging into the boys' locker room like this. Won't happen again." Haley said while taking a seat.

"I don't think the guys mind. And it's good that you can control the Scott brothers."

"Well, maybe Lucas but I don't know about Nathan." Haley said with a smile.

"You have more influence on him than you give yourself credit for." Whitey said smiling.

"Yeah, I guess. It's easy to piss him off." Haley said with a smile.

"Not just that, Haley. Not just that." He said cryptically. Haley thought about asking him what he meant by that but decided against it.

"So, may I ask why you just wanted to rip one of my best player's head off?" he asked. Haley smiled a bit at the choice of his words.

"It's a long story."

"Is everything alright?" he asked concerned.

"Not yet but they will be." She said with a small smile.

"Good. You know, your brothers played basketball for my team back in the days. And if I remember correctly, you sisters were part of the cheerleading squad."

"Yeah, that's right." Haley said.

"So, that makes you practically family. And you should know that if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here." Whitey said sincerely.

"Thanks, coach. I appreciate that. Brian and Chris both cared for you a lot and respected you."

"They are good kids." Whitey said. "Anything else on your mind?"

"Well actually now that we're here, I gotta ask you something." Haley said. "I'm pretty confused to why you wanted me to be the manager." Haley said.

"Why's that?"

"I can't play the sport even if my life depended on it and I have to spend most of the practises at the tutor center. It just seems that I'm not offering you enough for a P.E. waiver."

"The reason I asked you to become the manager was the fact that I know that if there's anyone who can give me scientific data about the game, it's you. So maybe you can't play the game, but you know how to play the game. I don't need you on the court, Haley. I just need your head. You're very smart and you should give yourself credit for that." Whitey said.

"Thank you." Haley said.

"But you should know that there was also another reason I asked you." Whitey said.

"What's that?"

"Your connection to the Scott brothers. Lucas thinks the world of you and respects you. And even if you don't believe it, Nathan listens to you." Whitey said and paused for a second.

"Not to even mention how the rest of the team feels about you. You've tutored a lot of them so you already got their respect and gratitude. But in the end it comes down to your connection with the Scott brothers. Those two will determine if we win state or not. Sure, it's a team sport but we've seen how badly the whole team plays if one of them is having an off-day."

"So, you want me to keep them 'in the zone'? Keep their heads in the game? Make sure they don't have an 'off day'? Babysit them?" Haley asked a bit upset.

"No, nothing like that. Just believe in them and the team." Whitey said and then added with a smirk. "And give me the facts from time to time."

"Sure thing, coach." Haley said relieved and got up. "The team is really lucky to have you as their coach."

"Just doing my job." Whitey said with a smile. "Now go take care of whatever is bothering you." He said. Haley nodded her head and left the office. She walked through the locker room while high fiving few players on the way. She walked outside to Nathan's car where he was waiting for her patiently.

"Finally." He muttered when she opened the door and sat down.

"Sorry." She said unapologetically.

"So what did you and Whitey talk about?"

"I don't think that's any of your business."

"Fine, be a bitch."

That same night, Haley made a 2-hour long distance call from Nathan's phone to Quinn and her mother to sort things out, much to Nathan's annoyance. Quinn had also demanded to speak with Nathan to make sure he knew who she was dealing with. Nathan reluctantly listened to her and then bitched at Haley for the rest of the night how crazy her sister was.

The rest of the day went mostly the same way the previous ones had: Haley and Nathan ignoring each other but still trying to piss the other off.

But only mostly. Because on Thursday night something happened that changed everything.

"Home sweet home." Haley muttered sarcastically while walking inside the apartment with two bags of groceries.

Nathan was still lying on the couch in the same position as before Haley had left. She rolled her eyes annoyed and started to make dinner while doing her homework.

After finishing cooking, eating and making sure her homework was correct, she started to look around the apartment. It was spotless. She had done so much cleaning for the past days that she doubted that there was anything left to do. She looked at Nathan bored who was still lying on the couch watching TV, the dirty dishes on the table.

Haley knew she should've appreciated the moments of silence and peace between her and Nathan but she couldn't. She had grown accustomed to fighting with him and even though she would rather shoot herself in the leg than admit that she had actually started to enjoy living with Nathan.

Sure, he was a jerk and she worked her ass off but there was something soothing knowing that at least that part of her life was stable. She missed her brothers, sisters and parents, especially her mom. She had no idea what she was going to do with college, as Nathan had so sweetly pointed out few days ago, so the fact the she could count on hers and Nathan's relationship to be stable, gave her indescribable peace.

But of course, had she known what was about to happen in the next 10 minutes, she would have thought again.

Haley got up from her seat and went to the living room. She pulled Nathan's legs from the end of the couch and sat down.

"Nathan..." Haley whined bored when Nathan wouldn't change the channel from ESPN.

"What do you want?" he asked without taking his eyes off the basketball game that was on the screen.

"Is there something you want me to do here?"

"I don't care." He said uninterested.

"Then why am I here?" she asked. Nathan turned to look at her.

"You lost the bet."

"Yeah, but if you don't need anything I might as well go home." Haley tried.

"Don't think so." He said with a small smirk.

"But, what's the point of having me here if I don't do anything?" she asked.

"To torture you, my love." He said grinning. Haley threw her hands in the air frustrated and then crabbed the remote control from his hands. She turned the TV off and turned to smirk at him.

"Yeah, two can play that 'torture' game, my love." She said.

"Put the game back on." He said annoyed.

"Don't think so. Since I don't have anything to do and can't go home..." she said.

Nathan looked at her for a while and then his glare turned into a smirk.

"Fine, if you want something to do..."

"Well, I was more like thinking of going home but..."

"...then give me a lap dance." Nathan finished.

The remote fell from her hands.

"Excuse me?"

"Give me a lap dance."

"What!" Haley yelled while jumping up from the couch.

"A... Lap... Dance." He said slowly and motioned his lap with his hands while studying her face with a smirk. First Haley opened her mouth in shock, then narrowed her eyes in disgust and finally just glared at him.

"What?" she hissed and crossed her arms over her chest while standing in front of him.

"Yeah, I want a lap dance." Nathan said.

"Wasn't part of the deal." Haley said with a shaky voice. It took all of her strength to not attack him and scratch him to death right then. "Like I told you when you asked me to do your homework, it's not part of the deal. The deal was cooking, cleaning-"

"Oh, don't be such a nerd. The deal was that you're my slave and do what I tell you to do. And I'm telling you to give me a lap dance." Nathan said the smirk never leaving his face.

"You're serious, aren't you?" Haley finally asked.

"I never joke about lap dances." He said his grin widening when he saw Haley's cheeks redden in anger. She breathed deeply through her nose few times while keeping her mouth firmly shut in annoyance.

She then lifted her hands in the air, palms facing him while continuing to speak slowly in a shaky, angry voice.

"You see these hands? They're small, I know, but I swear to god they will choke the fuck out of you if you don't get serious."

Nathan raised his eye brow while smiling. It never seized to amaze him how different she was from all the other girls. She didn't give a crap about his basketball skills or athletic looks. He knew exactly what buttons to push to piss her off and vice versa. Nathan had grown to love the arguments between them so much that he would deliberately pick fights with her. Because the more they fought, the more it turned him on. Something he would never admit to her. Or himself for that matter.

"Why are you smiling?" she snapped when Nathan didn't say anything.

"Just picturing you on my lap." He said his eyes never leaving his. For a split second Haley imagined herself topless straddling him while pulling shirt off and kissing him fiercely.

Haley blinked her eyes and snapped out of her fantasy. What the hell was that! She blushed deeply while trying to keep herself calm.

"You imagining the same thing?" Nathan asked smirking. Haley looked at him embarrassed that he had been able to read her so well. She tried to come up with something snappy but the shirtless images of Nathan were still dictating her mind.

"In your dreams." She said lamely.

"You can bet on it." he said and almost laughed out loud when he saw Haley blush even more.

Haley wanted the ground to open underneath her. Nathan had the total control of the situation and she would've done anything to reverse it. She thought about the most confident, the most in-control-of-the-situation person she knew.

What would Brooke do?

Suddenly Haley smirked and looked at Nathan with a small, cunning smile.

What wouldn't Brooke do?

"Have you ever seen 'Cruel Intentions'?"

"What? No." he said. Haley's smirk never faded while she turned the stereos on. Ashanti's 'Only You', that she had listened to earlier, started to blast from the speakers.

"Perfect." She muttered and went to stand so close to Nathan that her legs were between his knees. He looked at her confused without realizing what she was about to do.

"What are you-" Nathan voice faded as soon as Haley started to move her hips slowly from side to side. He looked at her in shock and swallowed.

Holy shit, she's going to do it. Breathe, Nathan, breathe.

Haley kept moving to the beat of the music while never taking her eyes off of his. She kept thinking what Brooke had taught her. Confidence, Haley, confidence is all you need.

"You don't have to... I didn't mean... I was just kidding..." All the words died in Nathan's throat when Haley started to turn around slowly until her back towards him.

Nathan couldn't stop staring at her tight jeans and her perfect ass shaking from side to side right in front of his face. It took all of his mind power not to grab her, pull her on the couch with him, rip the clothes off her back and have his way with her.

Nathan almost swallowed his tongue when Haley started to bend her knees until she was low enough to sit on his lap. Haley kept the movement on her hips, grinding her ass on him. Nathan's breathing started to come in shorter terms and Haley increased the pressure a bit with a smirk.

Nathan couldn't help himself anymore, he had to touch her. He put his hands under her shirt, on top of her stomach. The touch made Haley's confident smirk disappear. She could feel tingles all over her body. She took a shaky breath, closed her eyes and let her head fall back to rest on his shoulder. Nathan swallowed hard when Haley's head came in touch with his shoulder. Her neck seemed to be only inches from his face and he stared at it creamy skin incredulously while inhaling her scent.

They moved in trance to the beat of the music, Haley grinding her ass and Nathan's hands on her stomach and hips. Haley didn't know what had happened, but she had went from the most confident she-devil wannabe-stripper to a idealistic, romance thrilling high school girl who got lost in gorgeous guy's sweet touches and soulful eyes. Her eyes flew open and she realized that she was starting to enjoy Nathan's touches way too much. She blinked a few times to get control of the situation.

Get a grip, Haley! Be a sexy vixen, not a shy school girl. The mission is to make him hot and bothered, not the other way around!

She lifted herself off of Nathan's lap enough to turn around and straddle him. Nathan looked at her shocked but didn't hesitate to grab her hips and pull her closer to him. Haley wrapped her left arm tightly around his neck while rubbing herself on him. Her right hand was exploring every muscle in Nathan's shoulder and arm before moving down to his hard chest.

Nathan's head was exploding. She was not only grinding hard against him but her hands were making his head spin. They were traveling up and down his arms, shoulders and now they were massaging her chest.

Haley couldn't help but breathe deeper and faster when he felt his hard muscles under her hand. She moved them from his shoulders to his chest going up and down. His hands were exploring her body just as much. He had moved from her stomach and hips to the wonders of her ass and thighs. The moment his hands found her inner thigh, she let out a quiet moan. She was losing control again.

She tried to concentrate on exploring his muscles instead enjoying too much the way his hands made her feel. Luckily for her 'mission', she felt something on Nathan's chest through the fabric of his shirt that snapped her out of her wonderful daze. It was her ring hanging from his chain. She then realized that she was practically, or at least willing to, having sex with her worst enemy. She blinked twice and started to panic.

She needed to get away from the situation but more than that she needed to do it without embarrassing herself. She needed to be the one in control again. Remember Brooke's words. Confidence... Be confident... Right on time, the song ended and there was silence.

Nathan was drowning in her touch and couldn't find his way back up to the surface. Not that he was planning on stopping. He didn't have a choice though when the song ended and there was silence. Right then Haley got up and looked down at his lap at the physical prove of just how much Nathan had enjoyed her grinding.

"Down boy."

Haley smirked at him while trying her best to not look embarrassed. She grabbed the control and turned the TV on ignoring that the stereos were still on. Nathan opened his mouth in shock, then looked down in embarrassment and finally at her in frustration.

"Are you kidding?"

"Nope." She said with a smile. She was back to being her usual, bitchy self. Or that's at least what she was telling herself over and over again.

"Don't even try to tell me you didn't enjoy it as much as I did. You were panting so hard at the end, I think the neighbours heard you." He said. For a split second, Haley blushed in embarrassment but quickly recovered from it.

"Oh, I did enjoy it." Haley said surprising Nathan.

"You think I'm hot!" Nathan said triumphantly.

"I never said you weren't." Haley said surprising Nathan even more. "But don't flatter yourself. It was nothing but lust."

"Well, if you ever start feeling 'lusty' again, you know where I sleep." He said smirking. Haley looked at Nathan who was still sitting at the other end of the couch. She gave him another sexy smirk before crawling up to him slowly. She straddled him again, ran her hand under his shirt over his hard muscles and breathed hot air on his neck. She then got up as fast as she had the previous time.

"Good to know." She said innocently.

"Tease!"

"Hey, you were the one that wanted a lap dance so blame yourself." she said.

"But- you- I- Go clean the goddamn toilet!" he said annoyed. Haley just laughed while walking towards the bathroom.

"It was still worth it!" she yelled grinning before walking in the bathroom.

So, how was it? I know writing 'sexual' scenes isn't my strength but as long as you get the point, I'm fine. :D Anyways, leave a review, please. :)
