Hello everyone. Thank you so much for your interest in this series. Sorry I didn't post this chapter sooner. I had been in Puerto Rico the last week and had no way of doing so. Anyway here it is. Don't forget to review. Especially if you have any ideas of something I could cover. I enjoyed reading a couple of ideas in the reviews. I have them written down and hopefully will have them written soon.
Also for those who may be reading my other fic Envy & Trust I have an update coming in the next week. I'm getting closer to the end and I'm excited about that.
Title: First Times
Season: 2
Episode: Between The Truth Doesn't Make Noise & Near Wild Heaven
Summary: Haley talks to Peyton and Brooke about losing her virginity to Nathan.
It was the day after the reception Lucas had thrown for Nathan and Haley in celebration of their unexpected nuptials. It was around lunchtime when Haley found herself in the mall with Peyton and Brooke. She was in the midst of organizing her things in the closet she now shared with Nathan when she got a call from Brooke inviting her to go shopping. Nathan had already gone out to meet Lucas at the Rivercourt so she gladly accepted the invite. For a moment she regretted it after realizing she just did not have the shopping stamina Brooke seemed to have. Peyton sympathized knowing that most people could not keep up with Brooke when it came to shopping and finally suggested they have lunch.
They sat after having a delicious lunch and just laughed and gossiped about various topics. Especially about the previous night's events involving Peyton's suitors.
"Don't even bother. I deleted my profile soon after I got home." Peyton informed Brooke before taking a sip of her water.
"You didn't?! Peyton, there are some really hot guys on there." Brooke pouted.
"If you like them so much, sign yourself up."
"I still can't believe you did that, Brooke." Haley laughed.
"I just wanted to help my best friend out. Nothing wrong with that."
"Don't need that kind of help thank you very much." Peyton playfully stuck out her tongue at Brooke, "So Mrs. Scott, tell us how married life is going?"
"Yes! Spill!" Brooke exclaimed.
"It's really good. I mean, it takes some getting used to. Besides my brothers and dad, I haven't really lived with a guy before so it's been a bit of a learning experience but it hasn't been bad. It's going to take some organizing as far as closet space and the bathroom. Then there's compromising about decorating. Some of Nathan's decorating choices need changing."
"Good luck with that. Giving up your own space has got to be tough. Don't know if I could give up my room. Then again I won't have to worry about that for a few years."
"It was scary at first but after a mini freak out it's gotten surprisingly easy. It's kind of exciting in a way."
"Really? How so?"
"I don't know how to explain it. It seems like we learn new things about each other's habits and stuff that just makes it interesting. Not to mention the new experiences." Haley shyly smiled and blushed.
"New experiences?" Brooke questioned.
Peyton was quick to pick up on Haley's meaning. "How do you feel?"
"Okay, I'm totally lost." Brooke looked between the two girls, "How does she feel about what?"
"Our little Haley turned in her v-card on her wedding night." Haley covered her face embarrassed by Peyton's revelation to Brooke.
Brooke's mouth opened in surprise, "Shut up! You were a virgin?"
"Yes, I was. Is that really surprising and bad?" Brooke shook her head no, "Losing my virginity was a big deal to me. I didn't want to just give it away to anyone. I wanted to be in love and committed to the person. But most importantly I wanted to feel ready. I knew Nathan was it and when he asked me to marry him everything just fell into place."
"Wow. No offense tutor girl but I figured you and boy toy were doing the dirty since you first got together. Nathan was always a horn dog."
"No Brooke. That was a big topic of discussion between us and he was okay with waiting until I was ready. I know everyone probably thought that Nathan wouldn't be okay with not having sex but he understood and did his best to be respectful. I won't say it wasn't an issue sometimes but we dealt with it," Haley brought up her index finger to stop Brooke who was about to say something, "And no I don't believe he asked me to marry him in order to have sex."
"I'd hope not. Any guy who would do that must be desperate for sex. Not to mention it would be pretty difficult to back out of if that was the only thing he wanted."
"Okay, so now that Brooke is all caught up you can answer my question. How do you feel? Was it everything you hoped for?"
"Better." Haley admitted as she blushed profusely. "He was so sweet and romantic about it. There were all these candles and rose petals. I know some people would think that would be cheesy but for me it was just so perfect."
"Sounds like a dream. Were you really nervous?" Brooke asked.
"Of course I was. I was about to give him all of me. I knew I shouldn't have, but I still had all these thoughts in my head like 'What if he regrets this?', 'What if I regret this?', 'Did we really get married for all the right reasons?', 'What if I'm not good enough?', and so on. But I looked at Nathan and I knew I was making the right choice. He was the one." Haley thought back fondly to that night, "He did everything he could to make me feel as comfortable as possible. He was incredibly gentle and respectful. I don't think I've ever felt so loved. Everything was just perfect. I got to have a first time most girls hope to have."
"I'm really happy for you. I'm actually kinda jealous." Peyton said.
"Yeah, me too." Brooke admitted as well. "My first time happened at some party the beginning of sophomore year. I had been dating this guy named Kevin for like a month and a half. We had been drinking and making out and before I knew it we were getting naked in one of the bedrooms. It finished as quickly as it started. I was totally disappointed. I never thought my first time would be in a strange room with a bunch of strangers outside the door."
"That sucks." Haley sympathized.
"I guess mine falls somewhere in the middle. It wasn't perfect like yours Haley but it wasn't a total flake like Brooke's. It wasn't some grand thing. It just basically happened. We were hanging out in my room making out and we were really into it and it just naturally progressed. We really didn't make a big deal out of it. And then afterwards he had to go."
"That didn't bother you?" Haley questioned a little surprised about how nonchalantly Peyton talked about it.
"Sex was never a big deal to me. I just figured if it happens it happens. I mean, I am at least happy that it was with someone I was dating for a while."
"Yeah, but don't you kind of wish it would have been a little bit more romantic after hearing how he was with Haley." Brooke nudged Peyton, who glared slightly at her in return.
Haley noticed the exchange and it dawned on her that Peyton lost her virginity to Nathan.
"Oh, so Nathan was your first?"
"Yeah, but like I said it wasn't that big of a deal."
"Does that bother you Haley?" Brooke asked a bit curious at the change in Haley's demeanor.
Haley shook her head, "No, it's just sometimes it's hard to think that the Nathan Peyton describes when they were dating and the Nathan I know now are the same person. Sometimes I don't know how to feel about that. How am I with someone who treated you crappy but treats me so well? I mean to just leave afterwards?"
"Haley, the answer is easy. He is head over heels in love with you. He never felt that way about me. Which is why, when the two of you did take that next step, he wanted it to be perfect for you. I mean think about how even though it was tough on him he respected your decision not to have sex until you were ready. How when he saw the tattoo and then felt like he was putting pressure on you he tried to back off and give you space."
"I know. You're right." Haley smiled dreamily, "I think back to our wedding night and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'm not gonna lie I had thought about it, even dreamt about it and honestly it did not even compare. It turned out to be much better than I had imagined."
"Go tutor girl!"
"I don't know but this whole new level of intimacy is kind of exciting. If I thought I was bad before about wanting to be with him all the time, I don't even know what to think of myself now. Sometimes I don't even want us to leave the apartment." Haley covered her faced embarrassed as Brooke and Peyton laughed. "I can't believe I just admitted that."
"Haley, that's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're married to a good looking guy and discovering the joys of sex. I say enjoy the hell out of it."
"You're in that honeymoon stage. We'd be surprised if you didn't want to lock yourself and Nathan in a room. I have to say it's kinda nice seeing you like this. It's like this whole new side of you."
"I do feel different and I'm really happy. I'm glad that I can talk to you guys about this stuff. I love Lucas to death but there is no way I could ever talk to him about this. It's bad enough that he sort of saw the aftermath."
"Hold up! Lucas saw?" Peyton's jaw dropped.
"Well, he didn't really see anything. He kind of saw me walk to the bathroom wrapped in Nathan's sheets and then wearing just Nathan's sweatshirt. It was pretty awkward."
"Oh what I would have given to see his face." Brooke laughed loudly. "It's a good thing you have us. And let me be the first to say that if you have any questions or issues about your new sexual endeavors feel free to come to Peyton and me anytime."
"Brooke, really?"
"Hey, I'm just offering my services." Brooke shrugged her shoulders.
"I'll take that into consideration, Brooke." Haley said before sipping the last of her lemonade, "Okay so how about we continue this shopping spree. I promised my hubby I'd be home by three and I don't want to keep him waiting."
"I'm sure you don't." Brooke winked, "How about we make sure to stop by Victoria's Secret."
"I think that's a great idea Brooke. What do you think Hales?"
"Lead the way." Haley gestured forward.
The girls all got up from their table and made their way to the next store with Brooke leading. This past year had brought many great surprises for Haley. She found love with someone she least expected, that someone being Nathan Scott. And with her relationship with Nathan blossoming she was able to help open a dialogue between him and Lucas leading to the brothers actually having some kind of relationship. And of course she got two great girlfriends.
She mostly had guys as friends so finally having other females she could talk to was quite different. She finally had friends she could talk to about all the girly stuff she couldn't share with Lucas. Especially, in regards to when she lost her virginity. It was an integral part of her life and she wanted to be able to share it with someone. It's not like she hasn't talked to him about sex before but she could tell how awkward Lucas looked considering she was essentially talking about his brother. With Peyton and Brooke she didn't have that issue. They had that understanding that only another girl could have.
She felt pretty lucky and she couldn't have asked for more. As much as she was happy to hang out with the girls she had to admit she was anxious to get back to her husband. Recalling her wedding night as she talked to Brooke and Peyton made her anxious to see him. Maybe she should suggest that they lock themselves in their apartment with no contact from the outside world next weekend. She was sure he wouldn't mind. Grinning to herself mischievously she decided that was exactly what she would do.
Hope you enjoyed this. Kind of bugged me that we never had a scene with Haley talking about losing her virginity. They made such a big deal about her waiting in the first season you would think that they would mention something about it and how she felt afterwards. So this was my interpretation. Also I rewatched the boy toy auction episode so that was how I knew Nathan was Peyton's first as well since she said he was the only one she had been with at that point. As for Brooke I got to take liberties with that. Hopefully this was good enough.
