As I had problems to upload my documents... I wrote again and again. So the chapter 9 and 10 are done. Hope you'll like them. Tell me what you think please ;)
Friday.

Nathan was in the locker room. Pete came ti sit next to him.
"Ready?"
"Yeah..." Nathan checked his watch. "I've to go outside. Be right back."
Nathan went out outside, he arrived at the parking. He turned on the right and saw all the people who was waiting for. Then he saw them. He moved to them, trying to be discret.

Haley and Tyler arrived in front of the stadium. The crowd was in front of the door, waiting for enter. Haley and Tyler stayed behind. Tyler wore his Bobcats cap.
"Mom?"
"Yeah?" Haley answered, trying to see how many people was wainting for.
"Can you buy me popcorn?"
"Yes, when we'll be inside."
Suddenly, she felt someone behind him, she turned and saw Nathan.
"Hey!"
"Ssshh. Come with me..." He took Haley's hand. Haley parted, surprised. Nathan noticed it. They followed him, inside the locker room. Haley hid her eyes.
"Oh god!"
Nathan laughed. "Come on,they're all dressed." They walked again and arrived in the corridor near to the interior field. A big man of the security stared at them. Nathan nodded to him and led Haley and Tyler to their seats.
"I've to go."
"Okay.. Thank you."
"Welcome, Lady."
Nathan saw a sales clerk who sold cap and popcorn. "Be right back." Haley and Tyler looked around them, fascinated by the size of the stadium. Nathan came back. He gave Tyler a popcorn pack and put a Bobcats cap on Haley's head.
"You're pretty like that." Haley nodded, embarassing. "Thank you." He nodded.
"Wait for me after the game." He smiled and went down the bleachers.

During all the match, Tyler supported, standing up when someone scored, screaming when there was a fault or when a player missed. Haley looked at him, smiling. Her eyes travelled from Tyler to Nathan and vice versa. Tyler looked at his mother quickly. Haley had the impression everything slowed down. She smiled remembering.

Flashback
Haley was siting on the couch, Lydia was drinking a coffee next to her.
"Quinn said to me, one of her friend was in the same situation."
Haley stared at her mother. "Many girls are in the same situation. Except many of them aren't married."
"What about the divorce?"
"I don't know."
"Hales... I know you love him... but it's over."
Haley lowered her head. Suddenly, they heard Jimmy called them.
"Hales! Lydia! Come here!" The two women looked at them and ran outside, in the garden to join Jimmy. When Haley saw the scene, she was speechless. Tyler was walking. Jimmy was in front of him, knelt on the floor, grinning. Tyler laughed. Jimmy looked at Haley and smiled. Haley was on verge of tears, moved. Jimmy was talking to Tyler who carried on to laugh then he gave him a mini basketball ball.
Flashback

Haley was still smiling. Then, Tyler screamed again."They won!" He jumped on himself. Haley laughed, then her gaze met Nathan's, he smiled, and joined his teammates. The stadium emptied little by little. Haley and Tyler went down the bleachers.
"Mom, can I go to see him?"
Haley nodded. They went to the corridor near the locker room, to look for Nathan.
"I don't see him." Tyler said. Haley raised her on tip toe. She has a back view of him. Then he turned a little, smiling to someone. Haley froze seeing a brown hair young girl came to him and kissed him. Haley shook her head and looked at Tyler.
"He's busy... you know he've a lot of things to do." She paused, waiting for Tyler nod. Then Haley took his hand and went home.

Nathan parted. Sarah smiled and left. He felt relief inside him that Sarah had to go at her parents for a week. He went to Pete.
"Have you seen them?"
Pete bit his lip. "I saw them leaving."
"But..." He sighed. Why did she leave? He shook his head.
"You come with us at the night club?"
"No. I've to go." Nathan came in the locker room to change himself.

Haley was sitting on Tyler's bed. She bent over him and put a kiss on his forehead.
"Good Night."
He smiled. Haley stood up but she stopped when Tyler asked.
"Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"How can I call him?"
She remained silent. "I don't know... just ask him." She paused and said.
"Now, sleep. Auntie Brooke is coming tomorrow."
He smiled and closed his eyes. Haley took a breathe, switched off the light and closed the door.
She went down the stairs. She was dying to eat some vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and coconut above. She went to the kitchen when she heard someone knock at the door. She sighed, putting off her ice cream later, then she went to opened the door. Nathan.
"Nathan?"
"Why did you leave?"
"Sorry... I was tired and I thought you would be busy."
"I wanted to invit you, you and Tyler, to dinner."
And the girl? She shook her head. Why did she think about it. It's not my business.
"Oh... sorry... Nathan.. but..." Any words wanted to be prononced. Haley felt a wave of panicked increasing inside her when she noticed she was just wearing her shorty shorts and a top.
"Can I come in?"
Haley nodded and let him come in.
"Who's her?" She bit a lip.
"Who?"
"The girl who was with you, after the game." They walked to the kitchen.
"Sarah... she's nice..."
Haley grinned. "Nice?" Haley put two bowls on the counter and put vanilla ice-cream inside. She poured chocolate sauce on the ice cream and dotted with coconut.
She gave one to Nathan. "Thanks." She grinned. "Satisfaction accomplished." She said.
He looked at her suprised. "What?"
"I wanted to eat this for so long!" He laughed. "Delicious."
"Yeeeeah."
"What did you think about the game?"
She laughed. "Nice."
He smirked. "Okay... You didn't change..."
"About basketball rules?" She paused. "Yeah!" They said at the same time, laughing.
When they had finished to eat the ice cream. Nathan stood up to put his bowl in the sink, but Haley and him collided, one of the bowl felt on the floor. Nathan and Haley knelt at the same time to pick up.
"I'm sorry."
"No no. Never mind." She looked at him in eyes, smiling. "It happens all the time."
They stayed eye in eye. Haley shivered. Nathan couldn't breathe anymore. His head moved slowly to hers. Nathan put his lips on hers. It was sweet. So sweet. Haley parted, surprised. Nathan couldn't stop looking at her and it was the same for Haley.
"I wanted to do this for so long." He said finally, making Haley's heart bounce like the very first time he had kissed her.
