Hey, sorry I didn't get a chance to update last night, I've been getting very busy lately. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, it means a lot to me. As of right now, I'm leaning more towards writing a sequal (a short one, or shorter than this one at least.) and then starting a new one after that... Enjoy chapter 32!

Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill.

Summary: Nathan Scott is the most popular guy in school and Haley James is just an average girl who happens to be friends with Nathan's half-brother, Lucas. What happens when each of their groups of friends end up staying next door to each other all summer?

A Summer to Remember

Chapter 32

"This is nice." Haley said as she and Nathan pulled into the parking lot at the marina.

"Yeah, it's a pretty nice place." Nathan confirmed as he parked the car.

Haley put her sunglasses on as she got out of the car. Nathan grabbed her hand as they met in front of the car and they walked towards the small building which held Felix's office.

As Nathan opened the door, a bell was heard and Felix popped his head up from behind the desk. "Nate, nice to see you again." He greeted cheerfully as he extended his hand.

"It's still Nathan." Nathan corrected as he shook Felix's outstretched hand.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" Felix asked with a cocky smirk as he turned his attention to Haley.

"Haley James." She responded as she reached out to shake his hand. Nathan visible stiffened when Felix brought her hand to his lips and kissed it softly. Maybe I was wrong, Nathan thought, Felix is way more annoying than Chris.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Haley." Felix smiled, still holding onto her hand.

"Are you going to take us to the boat, or what?" Nathan asked impatiently as he gently pulled Haley's hand away from Felix's.

"Yeah, right this way." Felix came out from behind the desk and motioned for them to follow. "We cleaned it about a week ago, so right now it's at dock 2." He said as he opened the door and stepped outside into the hot summer air. The contrast of the ice cold air inside the office and the warm and sticky air of the outdoors sent a small shiver up Haley's spine. Nathan saw this and chuckled as he draped an arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

Felix walked in front of them, leading them to dock 2. He promptly stopped when he heard a giggle behind him and turned around to see Haley snuggled close to Nathan as they walked. "Wait, your Nate's girlfriend?" He asked with a smile.

"Um, yeah." Haley answered slowly.

"Oh. I guess the reason that I didn't realize that before was because I didn't know that he could score such a hottie." Felix smirked.

Haley reached up to touch Nathan's arm that was hanging over her shoulder in an attempt to cool the temper that she knew must be boiling inside of him. Nathan relaxed a little from Haley's touch and sent Felix an icy glare. "Funny." He said sarcastically.

"What? I'm just stating the obvious." Felix shrugged as he turned around and started walking again.

"What's his problem?" Haley whispered into Nathan's ear with a giggle.

"Who knows." Nathan smiled as he turned his head a little to leave a small peck on her lips. She had a way of making him calm down better than anyone he had ever met. Just moments ago he had been ready to kick Felix's ass for that blatant insult, but after just feeling Haley's small soft hand on his arm, he didn't think that Felix's remark was that important anymore.

"Here she is." Felix beamed as he pointed to the large yacht in front of them.

"Wow, you never told me it was so gorgeous." Haley accused light-heartedly as she turned to her boyfriend.

"You didn't ask." Nathan defended himself as she stepped closer and he put his hands on her hips.

"Do you want a tour, Haley?" Felix said loudly, ruining the moment.

"Yeah, that would be great." She said enthusiastically. She had never been on a boat as big as this one. In fact, she had never been on a boat half as big as this one.

"Right this way." He commanded as he opened the gate to the ramp that led up to the boat.

Nathan walked behind Haley, but as soon as she was on the ramp, Felix cut in between them. Asshole, Nathan thought.

"Turn to your left." Felix said as he placed a hand on Haley shoulder to better guide her into the sitting area of the yacht.

Nathan noticed the hand and promptly hit Felix on the side of the head. There was no way that this loser was going to put his hand on Haley's shoulder.

"Dude, what was that for?" Felix whined as he pressed a hand to his temple and turned to face Nathan.

Haley stopped in the doorway of the sitting room and bar area to watch the exchange curiously. She had never really seen Nathan act jealous like this before, and it was actually kind of hot.

"Keep your hands off my girlfriend." Nathan warned as he stepped around Felix and met Haley in the doorway. "Come here." He whispered as he pulled her inside and shut the door behind them.

"What the hell? Let me in!" Felix called from the other side as he heard the door lock.

Haley giggled when she heard Felix banging on the door. "Smooth." She said as Nathan walked over to the bar.

"Do you want something?" He asked as he opened the mini fridge. "It looks like they have lemonade and… tomato juice?"

"Lemonade." She said gratefully. Who drinks tomato juice?

He pulled out two cans of lemonade and set them on the bar. Before he could open them, he looked up to see her staring at him with a seductive smile. "What?" He laughed.

"Come here." She giggled as he willingly walked over to her, smirking when she put her arms around his neck. Before he could say anything, she attached her lips to his in a fiery kiss.

"Ok…not that I'm complaining… but what's this for?" He asked in between kisses as he tightened his grip around her waist.

"For getting me away from that Felix guy." She joked. "He's just jealous of you because so you're so much hotter than him."

With that, Nathan laughed and lifted her up and pinning her against the wall, their lips never parting. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist as he lowered his kisses to her neck. "I think he was jealous because I have you."

Haley could barely hear his words as his mouth traveled along her neck and then back up to her mouth. Her hands ran through his short dark hair as she reached her tongue into his mouth.

His tongue entered hers as well, exploring the crevices that he now knew so well. He could feel himself starting to lose control and decided that he needed to stop…but maybe after a few more kisses.

All of a sudden, a loud pounding was heard at the door and then a long string of cuss words followed it. "Will you guys open the door before I break my foot trying to kick it down!" Felix yelled.

Haley looked up into Nathan's eyes and saw that they were a shade or two darker than normal. She smiled as she left a soft kiss on his forehead. "Open it."

"Do I have to?" He whispered as he rested his head in the crook of her neck. He still couldn't believe the power that she had over him. Just a few seconds ago, he was intoxicated by her, he never wanted to let her go.

Haley nodded before placing a warm kiss on his ear. He sighed and backed up from the wall, placing her gently on the ground. Felix better have something pretty damn important to say…

Haley ran a hand through her hair in order to tame it a little and then ran the same hand over her shirt to smooth out the wrinkles. Nathan unlocked the door and opened it with a scowl on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?" Felix smirked. "I was wondering if you guys want to see the patio upstairs?"

"Um, sure." Haley responded sweetly as she grabbed Nathan's hand and followed Felix out onto the open deck and watched as he climbed up a very steep staircase that could probably classify as a ladder. She turned around to face Nathan with big eyes. "I can't go up there."

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid of heights and those steps are way too steep to be safe." She said as she tried to walk around him.

He quickly grabbed her arms and brought her back in front of him. "Hales, you made me hold the baby." He reminded her. "Come on, I'll be right behind you."

"How will that help? That only means that if I fall, you'll fall too." She pointed out.

"Or it means that I'll catch you."

"Are you guys coming?" Felix called from the top.

"Yeah." Nathan called back. "Come on. You can do it." He encouraged. She bit her lip and climbed onto the "stairs", throwing one last questioning look at Nathan. "I've got you." He assured her as she started to climb.


"Lucas!" Brooke called as she entered the condo from her afternoon sunbathing on the beach.

"Yeah, Brooke, I'm in here." Lucas responded from his bedroom.

"There you are." Brooke smiled as she walked into his room and set her beach bag down on his bed. "You are never going to believe what happened at the beach today."

"Try me." He laughed as he folded some swim trunks and put them into the top drawer of his dresser.

"Ok, there was this guy there who stepped on a crab and it hooked onto his toe!" Brooke laughed excitedly.

Lucas stared at her, wondering why she thought it was funny.

"Broody, don't you get it? That's the same thing that happened to you. I told you that crabs attack people all the time!" She said triumphantly.

Lucas did chuckle a little now, she had told him that in an attempt to make him feel better right after the incident at the beginning of the summer.

"I missed you while I was down there though." She pouted. "I thought you said you were going to try to meet me?"

"I'm sorry, I got sidetracked cleaning my room after I said goodbye to Haley." Lucas admitted.

"Luke, I know how hard it is for you to see Haley going out with Nathan. But she cares about him, and he seems to care about her, and I just wanted to tell you that I'm really proud of you for supporting her and going to the party this weekend."

Lucas smiled as he picked up one of his shirts off the floor, revealing a light pink bra underneath. "Brooke, why do I always find your underwear in my room?"

"Are you complaining?" She laughed as he inched closer to her.

"I love you." He whispered, his mouth just inches from hers.

"I love you too." She assure him as he pressed his lips to hers and they fell back against the bed.
