Nathan and Haley met at a bar when they were 24. Nathan was sulking over the fact that his knee injury meant he was done with the NBA after three seasons. Haley was devastated that she had gotten fired for putting her student's raw and emotional piece in the paper even though it was a little inappropriate. So as the friends they had each come with partied, they sat sadly at the bar, drinking fast and to get drunk. They were both surprised at how easily they'd opened up to each other, both usually being pretty reserved people.

That was 2 years ago. Nathan was a sports agent now and Haley was the literature teacher at a school for gifted children. They had been dating for a little less than a year and a half. The two were practically inseparable, just completely and blissfully in love. Haley had stayed at Nathan's last night, as she did just about every night even though they didn't officially live together. They didn't have sex though, she enjoyed staying with him, but she had always wanted to be with the one for her the first time. She didn't feel as though she had to be married, she just wanted to know that she was with someone she planned to marry. She felt pretty sure that the one was Nathan; it just hadn't happened yet. Although almost.

So, she stood in his kitchen, watching the coffee brew, knowing that maybe it was time to have a serious conversation. "Haley," Nathan appeared in the door frame. "We need to talk about last night, don't we?" Nathan has always been very respectful of Haley wanting to wait but he also had a history of being quite the player in both high school and college so when it came to discussions about sex, the difference in experience levels often made things uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I guess we should." Haley thought back on the night before.

There was a movie on but neither of them had been paying attention for about a half hour. "Hales, should we go upstairs?" Nathan breathed quickly before returning his mouth to Haley's. She nodded quickly and the two practically ran to Nathan's bedroom, desperate for more of each other. Haley sat on Nathan's bed, but he instantly laid her down, positioning himself above her before continuing their make out. Nathan paused briefly to pull his shirt over his head and throw it onto the floor.

"Mine too," Haley panted, and Nathan was more than happy to oblige. They then continued until Haley reached down to undo the button on Nathan's jeans, pushing them down his legs. She could feel him get excited. She loved the reminder of how attracted he was to her. She took his hand in hers and moved it to the button of her own jeans.

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked, only beginning the task once she said so. However, before he could begin to remove her now undone pants, she pushed him off the bed. "Ow! What the hell, Hales?" Nathan exclaimed as he slammed against the floor. Haley's eyes filled with guilt and embarrassment as she realized what she had done.

"Nathan, I'm so sorry! I just panicked and…oh my god, I feel so bad. Are you okay?"

"Yeah…yeah, I'm fine." Nathan stood up. "I'm just going to go get some water."

"Nate…"

"Hales, seriously, it's all good. I…I need a minute anyway." Haley nodded. She knew that Nathan needed to calm himself down since she clearly wasn't as ready as she thought she was. It was far from the first time he'd gotten turned on with her and she always felt like such a tease as she watched him try to regain his composure after. Eventually, he begun to walk around the house for a minute after their make out sessions in an attempt to make her feel less guilty because that was definitely pressure he didn't want her to feel.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do it," she muttered as he walked out of the room. Nathan paused and turned to her.

"It's okay, Hales." He said with a genuine and reassuring smile. "I told you that you don't have to be ready. No rush, remember? Go your own pace." With that he left her there, lying on his bed, wondering how she got so lucky. By the time Nathan got back, only a few minutes later, she was fast asleep. He got into bed next to her, placing a quick kiss on her forehead before going to sleep himself.

"Haley, you know that I'm fine with waiting until you feel ready, I just want to know what you're thinking." Nathan stated, snapping Haley's mine back to present time.

"I'm thinking that I want to have sex with you, Nathan. I want that and I trust you and our relationship." She started. "I'm just scared, I guess. I've never done that before and you have and it's intimidating."

"I know we didn't really discuss sexual history beyond the fact that you don't have one," Nathan sighed, scared to ask the question he knew he had to. "Is that a discussion you want to have?"

"How many girls have you been with, Nathan?" Nathan's breath hitched; Haley was never that forward. His eyes widened in panic, did she really want to know? Haley's eyes widened as she watched him swallow hard. Why was he freaking out? How high could the number really be?

"I-um, I'm not really sure Haley. I never, uh, counted." He stuttered.

"It's enough that you need to think about it?" Haley questioned, biting her lip as he nodded nervously. "Well, how…how old were you when you, you know, started?"

"Fourteen," Nathan whispered so quietly that he didn't think she heard him. However, when he looked up and saw the shock on her face, he knew she did. "Haley, I'm not proud of it…"

"I want to know how many." She stated, firmly.

"What?"

"I want you to count it out. I know it's not something either of us is sure we want to know but we need to, I need to." Nathan's throat went dry when he heard that. He didn't want Haley to think less of him, nor did he want to make her self-conscious but if she wanted to know, he'd count it. He couldn't bring himself to say anything, so he just nodded. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he started counting. The senior that was his first, his sophomore year tutor, his high school girlfriend, that one girl from the college party, the entire cheer team. Haley gasped when she saw his finger count jump from four to ten. Nathan winced and then continued in his head. Those two girls at basketball camp, the girl from the bar, the girl in charge of college orientation, that girl who lived on his floor freshman year, the student teacher sophomore year, his college girlfriend, his first publicist when he joined the NBA, that one model, the actress he dated for a few months, his physical therapist, and Haley's friend Brooke…uh oh, did she even know about that? They hadn't even met at the time but still...

"Twenty-two," Nathan's voice cracked slightly as he looked to gauge her reaction. She looked back at him emotionless.

"Twenty-two. I'd be the twenty third girl you've slept with. Nathan, how am I supposed to compete with that?" Her eyes were filling with tears now. She loved him so much, but he had so much experience, what if she wasn't enough?

"God, Hales. There is no competition. I love you, I'm in love with you. Yes, I've said that before and I may have even thought I meant it but when I fell for you I knew that I had never felt this before and that I could be with you forever." Nathan walked closer to her, taking her hands in his. "Haley, I'm not proud of who I was. I wish I could take it back but I can't, all I can tell you is that is doesn't matter how many girls because ever since I met you, I couldn't imagine being with anyone else."

Haley was crying now but not because of the doubt and sadness that had filled her moments before but because she couldn't imagine herself with anyone else either. Nathan was the love of her life. She was sure. There was never someone more caring or supportive or funny or loving and she was completely taken over by her love for him. Haley didn't even want to think about life without Nathan, she didn't know how she ever had gotten by without him at her side.

Haley stood on her tip toes and reached her hand to Nathan's neck, pulling his head down to close the 10-inch height gap and bring his lips to hers. The two were quickly engulfed in a passionate and heated kiss. Nathan slowly guided them into the living room and onto the couch. Haley climbed onto Nathan's lap, her hands tracing his abs and getting closer and closer to his belt. Nathan and Haley could both feel as he grew hard and Haley could feel herself get turned on as well. A few minutes later, Nathan pulled away.

"Haley, we gotta stop," he panted, catching his breath.

"I don't want to," she replied, pulling him in to kiss again. Nathan pulled back again, now Haley was confused.

"Hales, you know I mean I can't keep going unless you want to go further, right?" she nodded. "Okay, so you want to do that now? Haley, don't take this the wrong way, of course I want to have sex with my beautiful girlfriend that I love, but why?"

Haley sighed. She should have known he'd be concerned it had something to do with what they had just talked about. "Because I'm completely in love with you, because I imagine being with you for the rest of my life, because I trust you and because you're really hot and I really want to." Nathan chuckled at the end as Haley smirked at him, biting her lip.

"Well, I have to give my girl what she wants," he smirked back and kissed her forehead. "But I think we should go upstairs. It's your first time and it's probably going to hurt a little, so I want you to be as comfortable as possible." Haley nodded and followed Nathan upstairs. She laid down on his bed and he sat down next to her. "Say stop at any time and I will, okay? You don't have to push me off the bed," He added the second sentence as a joke to lighten the tension in the room. He could tell Haley was nervous, but she didn't seem doubtful or afraid.

"Shut up and kiss me," Haley laughed, hitting him jokingly. Nathan didn't need to be told twice and soon he was above her, their make out session picking up where it left off. Soon, Nathan's shirt was off and he was unbuttoning Haley's sweater. Once it was off, his hand moved to her bra strap. He paused briefly but felt as Haley nodded without even breaking their kiss and it was quickly added to the growing pile of clothes on the floor.

Haley hands traveled down to Nathan's belt and Nathan couldn't help but feel relieved, the tightness of his jeans had begun to get uncomfortable. Haley used her legs to slide his jeans down just as she had the night before. Now the real test was when Nathan began to take off her jeans, they both tensed, knowing how this had gone last night but today was different. Today, Haley was ready, more than ready, she needed Nathan.

They both had nothing but underwear on now. Haley took a deep breath and reached her hand into Nathan's boxers and touched him. Nathan groaned as she continued to stroke his erection, he could barely keep it together. "Haley, wait. Not yet," Haley realized what he was talking about and quickly listened. She didn't want him to climax yet. Nathan then removed his boxers, as they were now also uncomfortably tight. He reached for Haley's underwear right after, feeling how wet they were as he took them off. "Oh Hales, you really are ready, huh?" He tried to joke, though his tone was taken over by pure longing and want.

"Yeah," Haley sighed, nodding rapidly. "Nathan, please." He listened instantly but went slowly, watching Haley carefully. Her eyes closed and her face tensed as he entered her.

"Are you okay?" He asked. She took a deep breath as the discomfort was replaced with pleasure.

"I am now," she smiled. Nathan began to move himself in and out of her, slowly at first but increasing the pace little by little. "Nathan," Haley moaned. He could feel as her orgasm hit her and his own followed shortly after. Once they had both come down, he carefully slid out and rolled to lay next to her, catching his breath.

"Wow," Haley panted. Her and Nathan were both breathing as though they had just gone one a run. "That was great, why'd I wait so long?" She added with a laugh. Nathan couldn't help but laugh too, he didn't mind that they had waited. It had definitely been worth it.

"Haley," he started, propping himself up on his elbow. "Move in with me. Officially."

"Really?" Haley tried to keep her face from lighting up with excitement before she was sure that he was serious.

"Yeah, you're here almost every night anyway and honestly, I couldn't imagine coming home and you not being here." Now Haley couldn't stop herself from beaming ear to ear.

"Me either. I love you so much Nathan, I've never been so happy." She kissed him.

"Me either," he said, pulling her close to him. They were both just laying there now but it felt so safe and loving. It felt like home. Nathan and Haley turned to look at each other and without a word they both knew they were thinking the same thing. This is my person. The one for me. My home is wherever they are.

"You know, I've always considered 23 my lucky number," Nathan muttered. Haley stifled a laugh with fake annoyance.

"Shut up," she said with a soft giggle as she pushed him. Nathan laughed again before putting her arm around her. Neither one was in a rush to move.
