I'll have it up as a poll on my profile, and I REALLY need you to answer it! Thanks! And enjoy the first official chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill. If I did, I would totally force James to run around naked. HAHA! No, seriously, I would.

His rough calloused hands glided over her shoulder blades. She shivered with anticipation for what was to come. He guided her to the bed and gently set her down, whispering words of sweet nothing in her ear. "It's time to wake up…"

Haley sprang straight up in bed. "That's the third time this week!" she thought to herself.

Haley had been working for the Scott family for a month. She grew very fond of Deb and her other son, Lucas. He had the same sharp blue eyes as the dark-haired Scott brother, but with sandy blonde hair. Lucas was very much interested in literature and politics, and was more than willing to introduce the world of classic literature to Haley. They both loved art and classical music, and found that they had much in common, despite their different backgrounds.

But the dark-haired one still confused her. She hadn't spoken to Nathan since their brief encounter in the living room on the day Haley first arrived. She, however, was still intrigued by him.

As she worked around the house all day, Haley heard all sorts of gossip revolving around him. Apparently, he was under strict orders from his father, the ever-powerful and rather frightening Dan Scott. Being the oldest son, Nathan was to inherit the family business of owning and running the plantation. That had been the "master plan" all throughout Nathan's life, so his father made sure that nothing ever "distracted" Nathan from the "master plan."

In Dan Scott's eyes, Nathan would graduate top of his class at Duke University, earn his business degree, continue the successful family business, and then marry a beautiful girl from a rich and powerful family. This was the "master plan."

Not wanting to make waves, Nathan followed Dan's directions, believing that his father wanted what was best for him. Unknown to Nathan, Dan had only ever wanted to continue the family legend of Scott Plantation.

Haley supposed it was because of this reason why Nathan was rarely seen around the house. He was either locked up in his room studying, or out in public keeping up with the Scott family's impressive public reputation.

Though Haley had only seen glimpses of him, she could already tell he was a real ladies man. He was the tall, dark and handsome kind of guy. Exactly the kind of guy any woman would be lucky to get her hands on. No wonder Dan Scott controlled Nathan's love life; every woman in the country would be flocking all over him.

Haley felt sort of guilty, lusting over her boss's son like that. But Haley knew that she would never act upon her feelings; it just wasn't allowed.

Little did Haley know that her and Nathan's paths were about to cross whether she liked it or not.

Haley was walking down the hall delivering the freshly washed towels for the week. Once she had finished stocking every bedroom, she put the rest in the linen closet. She stepped inside the closet and was about to exit when she ran into something hard.

"Oomph!" Haley stumbled back and fell upon a stack of dust rags on the floor.

"Sorry about that," the obstruction said. Haley immediately recognized that voice as Nathan's. She may not have seen him much, but she has heard him speaking with his father, most of the time arguing.

"No…no…It's my fault. I…I wasn't looking," Haley stuttered, shocked to find Nathan in a linen closet.

"No, it's my fault. I was just looking for a towel for my bath."

Haley immediately dozed off, imagining Nathan in a bathtub, completely naked except the soapy bubbles clinging to his slightly tanned skin…

"Snap out of it, Haley! This is your boss's son! You can't daydream like that about him!" Haley thought to herself.

"Oh! Um, didn't I put any towels in your bedroom?" Haley asked, already knowing the answer. She purposely skipped Nathan's bedroom while delivering the towels. Haley didn't know if she was allowed into his bedroom without his permission. She had no problem, however, going to Lucas's bedroom though. She almost asked herself why, but knew that she already knew the answer deep down.

"It's fine. I'll just grab some in here," Nathan said, taking some towels and turning to exit, only to find that the door had closed behind them.

"Uh…that's not good."

"Oh my god, are you kidding me? The door only opens from the outside!" Haley exclaimed.

"Great! We have to wait here until someone finds us in here."

Oh, whatever will they do to pass the time?!

Again, sorry that the beginning chapters aren't as long, but I'm hoping that they will get longer eventually! I'm still new to writing fanfics! Again, please check out my new poll on my profile! It's really important for this story! Thanks! Review please!
