Okay so this is the next chapter, thank you for all your reviews!


The crickets chirped in the large grasses next to Haley as she kept her steady pace, sweat shinning off her forehead by the the soft glow of the moonlight. The cabin could be seen ahead not too far off in the distance as the group approached closer and closer to their destination. It was by now nearly midnight, they had stopped a few hours ago, eating some of the fish that had been caught the day before and though it was not fresh, it was all they had.

She could hear the currents of the river splashing against the shore and wished she could just strip naked and jump in. It was midsummer and due to the extensively humid climate, the mountain was hotter than usual. Lucas came up besides her smiling slowly and Haley smiled back as they were finally only a few feet away from the cabin. It was huge, Haley noticed as she admired the tall wooden house in front of her. The door–along with the rest of the cabin--was a nice oak wood with an oval window that had some kind of flower designs strewn across it, the windows had beautiful green drapes going down on the inside, and the surroundings were just wonderful. The river was only a few meters in front of the house and trees swarmed the area, she couldn't wait to see what it would look like in the day time.

Nathan climbed the short stair case to the front door and attempted to go on, but was met with a locked passageway.

"Dammit!" He tried again, but to no avail. He proceeded to bang into it with his body, but the door was sturdy as a stone and was not giving in.

"I'm going to have to break the window", he said and Haley immediately gasped. He turned towards her with a confused face.

"What?"

"You can't do that, look at the door, it's beautiful. And that glass, you can't replace it", she said, her tiny fingers grazing the colored crystal.

"Well then what do you say we do? Because unless we break a window, there is no way we are getting in here, I don't have the key."

"Yeah Haley just let him do it, I mean it's better than a regular window right? If we broke one of the side ones then all the bugs would get in because it would be to hard to cover up, this one we could put wood on it", Brooke spoke softly, smiling lightly at Haley. She had to confess, she did feel guilty about earlier, acting like such a baby, but she couldn't help it, that was the only thing she knew to do. It didn't change her sorrow, however, she knew it wasn't easy for her friend either and that she wasn't making it any better, and she thought she owed it to Haley to be nice to her for the rest of her life... okay so wait a minute, maybe not the rest of her life, the rest of the trip?

"Alright fine", Haley heaved. She knew that Nathan didn't understand why she was making a big deal of nothing, but it was something for her. Besides music and school, decoration was always one of her strong and most passionate points, the only thing she liked other than a good song was a beautiful work of art.

The raven-haired boy flew down the stairs going around the side of the house, to get a stick probably, was Haley's thought. She looked toward her friend and smiled at the interaction between her and Lucas, her new friend.

"Hey", Brooke spoke softly to Lucas and he smiled returning her greeting.

"So, about earlier..."

"Just forget about it, I understand. After all Nathan is my brother." They both chuckled at that and Brooke put her hand on his arm.

"No really, I'm sorry about it. I've been such a grinch every since we've met, partially due to this situation and partially due to Nathan, but either way I've been horrible and I want to apologize." Brooke looked down sadly at her feet. She felt warmth being placed on top of her hand when she realized she still had it on Lucas' arm. He softly rubbed her skin, grabbing her hand from his flesh, he brought it to his lips and placed a light kiss atop it, his eyes never leaving Brooke's. She watched him, mesmerized, as a slow grin came on to her face.

"So, apology accepted?" Lucas nodded eagerly and she giggled. Haley was brought out of their flirting by Nathan's footsteps coming back up to the porch, a giant piece of wood in his hand. He looked at Lucas and Brooke, then lifted a brow, to which Lucas just shrugged.

"Where did you get that?", Haley asked curiously, and Nathan turned toward her.

"My uncle keeps a shed out back for tools and firewood, I'll show you it in the morning", he smiled, a real smile, Haley noted, instead of that damn smirk he gave. She caught herself smiling back too as she took a step away to let him do his job. He smashed the wood into the beautiful crystal glass as pieces flew everywhere and stuck his arm throw the hole, careful to avoid the glass still sticking up, and the click of the lock could be heard.

Nathan grinned.

"Got it."

The others shared smiles with each other as the door opened and all four walked in, Haley last as she let everyone in first. She followed suit after Lucas and Brooke and her eyes widened in awe at the scene in front of her. The living room was filled with burgundy carpet and burgundy leather couches to match. There was a wide coffee table, the legs and border was made of a deep rich red wood color and the center of the table itself was glass. The walls of course were a brown oak color and beautiful paintings along with various family pictures, hung on the walls. There was no television obviously, since they didn't get any reception, but they did get electricity Haley realized, from the lights that were now one.

She turned to a corner and her jaw dropped. There in the midst was an actual wooden piano, it was a shiny creme color adorned with a stand for sheet music and a nice matching seat that had white plush at the top, just like a pillow for extra comfort. Brooke noticed Haley's awed state and followed her friends line of view. She spotted the piano and immediately a knowing smile came onto her face. Haley loved playing the piano, it was what she used for most of her songs, well that and the guitar.

"Listen there's only two rooms...", Lucas began and Brooke smiled.

"It's okay broody, I think you're hot enough to room with", she winked. Lucas blushed and Nathan rolled his eyes and focused his attention on Haley.

"That means, me and you are going to have to share a room", he said to her, but she wasn't listening. He tried to figure out what got her so enthralled, but couldn't. 'Hmmph, figures, men', Brooke thought, rolling her eyes.

"Uh, Haley", he tried again, this time louder.

"Huh, what?", She barely responded.

"We, are, going, to, share, a, room", he said slowly, pausing after each word. Haley just waved it off, still looking at the piano.

"Uh huh, whatever." Brooke laughed to herself at her friend's behavior knowing she didn't really mean that, she just wasn't paying attention. Nathan paused for a moment looking at Haley suspiciously. He knew there was no way she would just agree without threatening to chop his balls off or something... but then again, maybe she's finally giving into me?', he thought. Yep that has to be it, he smirked, heading up the stairs.

"Hey Haley, tutorgirl!", Brooke half yelled, this time getting the blonds attention. Haley looked at her friend, then looked back at the piano.

"You like it huh?", Brooke asked and knowing it already, she watched as her friend shook her head yes.

"It's gorgeous Brooke", she finally took her eyes off the instrument and to her best friend, "I so want to play it."

Brooke grinned.

"I know... listen Haley, I'm really sorry for the way I've been acting. I know I'm a spoiled brat, but I can't help it, that's the only thing I know to be, but still I'm sorry."

Haley looked at her cousin and couldn't help, but pity her. She knew Brooke was telling the truth and she understood why it was so hard for her not to be that way. When you've been traveling down the same road your whole life, it's kind of hard to take a new one.

"It's okay Brooke, I forgive you."

"Best friends?", Brooke asked and Haley let out a wide smile.

"Always." They hugged briefly for a moment and then stood back just smiling.

"Oh and by the way, you do know you're rooming with Nathan Scott right?"

Haley's smile faded and the look on her face was priceless.

"Nooo", she stated instantly and Brooke couldn't stop the giggles from leaving her throat.

"Yeah, he just told you it a few minutes ago, but you were too busy zoning out on that piano."

"Oh.my.god", Haley said her mouth hanging open, "I have to room with the pig", she finished in a disgusted voice. She knew Nathan wasn't a bad guy, that under all the crap he gave everyone else, there was actually a genuine person under there, not to mention a hot body, but that's besides the point. Granted she did like him, he was still a cocky, self-centered, ego inflated pig.

"Oh quit complaining, it's not like your being stuck with the devil, though at times I think he is heh", at Haley's look she diverted that topic, "but hey at least he's hot, just think about it. You could ravish his body all night, hell you both could ravish each others body all night", Brooke responded mischievously and Haley smacked her hand to her fore head. Oh boy, what was she getting into?


Haley slowly trudged up the wooden staircase, taking her merrily time to avoid the situation she has been put in. She was trying her hardest to divert as much Nathan time as she could and she knew she needed that, because there would be a lot of it. Finally reaching the top of the stairs, she halted to run her hands over the smooth surface of the staircase post as she looked straight ahead towards the door at the very back of the hall. Her door. Nathan's door. She shuddered, god why was she always put in these kinds of dilemmas, nothing ever went right for her, and it seemed she was destined to shack up with Nathan Scott one way or another. Sure, a part of her really wanted that, but she wanted it on her own terms dammit.

'Okay Haley, it's now or never. I wonder what he's doing in there... Probably masturbating. Ew! No Haley do NOT think about those thoughts', she shook her head vigorously trying to get the image out of her head. The last thing she wanted to have were even dirtier thoughts about Nathan Scott. When she reached the door, she put her hand on the knob, stopping for a moment, then lightly turned it, opening up the door a little wider. She peeked in, but could not see him. Going all the way in, there was a bed straight in front of her. It had black and white silk sheets with four pillows laying atop it. A dresser stood on the right side of the room next to a door that she thought might have been the closet, till she spotted the other door on the left side of the bed that was slightly ajar, a small pile of clothes seeping out.

She silently closed the door behind her and headed over to the bed, sitting down on the end, before completely plopping the upper half of her body on it, gazing at the ceiling. She closed her eyes as she felt the draft of the ceiling fan above her. She was just starting to slightly doze off when she smelled the light scent of aftershave and a droplet of water hit her face, to which her eyes shot open.

"Get off of me!", she yelled. Nathan was bent over her, a white towel wrapped snugly around his waist, his hands coming to rest on either side of her head, as he leaned his head down to hers, so close their lips were nearly touching. He smirked, but didn't comply, taking his hand and gently running it down her cheek. He stopped at her lips, running his thumb over the soft plump flesh. Haley's breathing hitched, as butterflies swarmed in her stomach. She could feel her heart speed up at his ministrations and couldn't help but be nervous. He moved his hands from her lips, down her chin, and to her neck, massaging it softly until he came to her colar bone. A little sensor went off inside Haley's head when he started to graze his fingers near her breasts and she kicked him, being careful not to hit his balls, even though that was really what she wanted to do, and instead collided with his stomach.

He doubled back, grabbing his toned abdomen and let out a groan of pain. Haley shot straight up, taking a few seconds to compose herself, staring straight at his bent over form. She again ran her eyes along the span of his arms, watching as the muscles flexed every time he moved his arms, and when he stood straight up, she could see half of his nice toned chest. Drops of water sliding teasingly down his hard chest, onto his nice muscled breast, hitting his firm nipple. A nipple with a nipple ring... that she just wanted to run her tongue ove—whoa! Haley, what are you thinking? Knock it off! ', she scolded herself, hopping off the bed.

"What did you do that for, you bitch!", Nathan yelled, there was a glare on his face and he was still clutching his stomach.

"I told to get off me, you didn't listen. Remember Nathan, bad boys always get what they deserve, at least from me." Now it was Haley's turn to smirk as she headed for the door, she opened it up turning around once more to give him a wink. He watched dumbfounded as she left the room, his hands now finally leaving his abdomen. When her words registered in his mind, he smirked. She always gives bad boys what they deserve, huh? This could be good...


"Mmm, Broody, I'm hungry", Brooke said, between kisses as she bit down on the Lucas' bottom lip. They were now in a hot and heavy make out session that had been going on for thirty minutes, but the rumble of her stomach told her she needed to eat. She placed one more slow, tantalizing kiss on his lips, as she removed the hands that were placed firmly behind his neck, and reluctantly broke away.

"Okay, fine. I guess it's okay to eat", Lucas chuckled, and Brooke slapped his chest playfully.

"Wait a second, do you have a shovel here?", she asked randomly with a serious look on her face.

"I think I read about this in Cosmo Magazine one time, that females get weird cravings when they're on their period or pregnant. So... do you happen to be bleeding or are you knocked up?", he joked and Brooke smacked him again, this time a little harder than he liked.

"I'm serious, Broody. This is not a joking matter", she replied as he rubbed the spot where she hit him.

"Jeez, okay. Yes in the shed, may I ask why?"

"Because Haley and Nathan are rooming together, which means anything can happen."

"Oh come on, they'll be fine Cheery."

The brunette gave him an absurd look, before she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Um, broody, do you know your brother?", at his nod she continued, "aaand, do you know Haley?"

"Yeah, well I know what she's like."

"So let's put things together, shall we. Your brother, your egotistical, horny, sex crazed—like yourself—brother, is rooming with my best friend and cousin mind you, who is totally a virgin with a side of maturity and well behaved, is STAYING in the same room together. Things could get ugly", Brooke responded, giving Lucas a pointed look. His face portrayed that of heavy thinking as his mouth fell slightly open.

"Uh oh."

"That's right. That's why I was asking for a shovel, because if worse comes to worse, one of them might end up killing each other and then we'll have to bury the body in the backyard so we need a shovel", Brooke joked, and Lucas laughed.

"Lets hope it doesn't go that far. But Haley is a virgin? Seriously?", at Brooke's nod Lucas went on, "well then I sure hope Nathan doesn't find that out. He loves virgins, or so he tells me and it is true, he is sex craved, and horny... I mean come on we were only locked in boot camp for like four months-"

Brooke covered his mouth with hers before he could get out the next sentence, when she pulled away, they both were breathing heavily as Lucas wiped his mouth.

"What was that for?"

"To shut you up. You were rambling."

With that she got off the bed and headed to the door, opening it up.

"I'm going to get some food, you want any?"

"No thanks, I'll wait till morning."

Brooke grinned.

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit. Don't miss me too much", she said as she blew a kiss his way and skipped out the door.

Haley was sitting at the counter with a mug in one hand, munching on a bag of chips she had found in the food closet, as Brooke came bouncing down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Where'd you get those?", she asked, busying herself with digging around in the cabinets. She grabbed a mug identical to Haley's and headed over to the coffee machine to get a cup of fresh brewed coffee Haley had made. So okay, she didn't really know how fresh the coffee was due to how long it'd been here, but it looked pretty good. Brooke plopped down in the seat next to Haley as they both sat at the square counter in the middle of the kitchen. It was a spacious kitchen, twenty cabinets surrounded the walls with plenty more on the bottom of the counters.

"In that huge closet", Haley replied, pointing to the door on the left side of the kitchen. Brooke snagged a chip from the bag, looking at it disgustingly before shrugging and talking a bite.

"Not too bad, I wonder how old they are."

"I try not to think about it", Haley responded. Brooke noticed her agitated state and glanced at her curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll give you a hint, his first name starts with an L and his last name ends with bastard."

Brooke giggled, but when Haley sent a glare her way, stopped.

"Okay, so you guys had a bad encounter I take it?"

"Worse than bad, I nearly had to end his child making days when he basically sexually harassed me."

Brooke gasped.

"He didn't!"

'Okay', Haley thought, 'so he didn't really sexually harass me, but it felt like it.'

"No he didn't, but he touched me. When I got into the room, I laid down and closed my eyes and when I opened them, there he was, leaning over me in towel, touching my face."

Brooke rolled her eyes, smiling.

"Oh please tutor girl, that wasn't sexually harassing, that was him saying 'I'm hot for you', physically."

"Whatever, I don't like it. Besides, whose stupid idea was it to stick me with the monster anyways."

Brooke looked away hastily, avoiding Haley's stare. Noticing this, the blond's eyes narrowed, as she pointed her finger at the brunette.

"Wait a second. It was you, wasn't it!"

Brooke put on fake shock and looked at Haley.

"Why, Haley! How could you accuse me of such a thing!"

At her cousins death glare, Brooke gave up, holding her hands up in surrender.

"Okay, okay, so I admit, I might of accidentally caused your little situation, but it wasn't intentional I swear!"

Haley shook her head and stood up.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed."

"I love you too coz?" Brooke hollered at Haley's retreating figure, she sagged her shoulders and put on a pout when she didn't get a response.

"Oh well, she'll get over it", she said to herself and then cheerfully started to munch on the rest of the chips.


When Haley entered her room, dreadfully, she was met with darkness. Squinting she made out Nathan's figure lying on the bed under the covers and sighed. Why oh why? Creeping over to him she lightly shook him.

"Nathan are you awake", she whispered loudly with no activity in return. Just as she was about to shake him harder his eyes flew open and he grabbed her hand.

"I knew you wanted me", he smirked.

Haley scowled, tearing her hand out of his grasp as she stood before him with a vile glare.

"I do not want you. I was merely going to see if you were sleeping."

"Well what else would I be doing lying here?"

"Who knows, how come you get the bed?", she asked.

"Well if you look around, there's only one."

"I know that genius, I meant why do I have to sleep on the floor?"

Nathan chuckled.

"You don't genius", he retorted, "you see, there's this nice empty space right next to me."

Haley instantly shook her head, crossing her arms.

"Oh no way, there is NO way in hell, that I'm sleeping in the same bed as you. You'd probably grope me all night then I'd wake up no longer a virgin", she blurted, and immediately clamped her hands over her mouth. Nathan's eyes widened and that infamous smirk beheld his features.

"A virgin huh?", he said, licking his lips and raking his eyes up and down her body.

"Don't even think about it, perv."

She grabbed some clothes out of her backpack and headed for the adjoining bathroom. Five minutes later, she re-emerged into the room coming to stand on the other side of the bed. Nathan who had been looking at the ceiling, turned his head to look at her and smiled. Haley sighed, pulling back the sheets and getting into the bed as she grabbed one of the two pillows behind her head and placed it in between her and Nathan.

"Nathan, give me one of your pillows."

"No, you have two", Nathan defied, and Haley sent daggers at him, reaching over and pulling his second pillow out from under the first. His head fell down slightly as his mouth opened.

"Hey, I was using that!"

"To bad", she responded, putting the pillow further down behind the other one, creating a line.

"What the hell is this for?"

"For you. So you don't touch me. And if you do, if a single part of your body crosses these pillows, I'll hurt you."

"In your sleep?", Nathan grinned.

"In my sleep, in your sleep, in any sleep I have to, now shut up and go to bed."

She turned onto her right side, facing away from the raven-haired boy as she tucked her hands under her pillow. She was just about to drift off to sleep a few minutes later when the sound of Nathan's voice, re-alerted her senses.

"You're sexy", Nathan said lying on his side facing Haley, a lazy grin plastered on his lips. He gazed at her beautiful face which was now turned towards him, memorizing each slope and curve. His eyes wandered to her pink plump lips as he imagined his tongue sliding over the surface of them, nipping gently at the soft skin. His eyes then traveled to her golden blond hair, and all he wanted to do was run his fingers through it.

"And you're not, now shut up", she lied. He actually was hot, really hot, and thoughts that she shouldn't have, drifted into her head from time to time, but she wasn't going to let him know that. Nope, never.

"You liar, I know you think I'm hot. I see the way you look at me. Run your eyes up and down my body, constantly."

"Ugh, I do not!"

At his smirk that told her otherwise, she huffed.

"Alright fine, I do, sometimes, but that's only because you're always walking around half naked, and that is kind of hard to ignore. Besides, you like never have a t-shirt on."

Nathan, shrugged, smiling.

"True... I don't have one on now. You wanna look?", he teased, and Haley's face turned red from the blush that snuck onto her cheeks.

"No", she shrieked and slammed her head back down on the pillow, covering her face with it.

Nathan smiled proudly, resting his head back down. Ah yes, operation irritate and seduce Haley is officially under way.
