Sorry for the long wait. My birthday party was this weekend so things were crazy. This is going to be the latest chapter for a while because next week I have a huge test, tomorrow is my birthday, and I have 3 papers due on Friday! Oh and before I forget, some people have been wating more Brucas, so I added them a little, but mostly it is Naley. I'm so stressed but I really wanted to update, so enjoy!

(This chapter picks up from the last one)

Haley glanced at the clock on Brooke's wall. It was almost midnight.

Shit! Nathan's still at the house!

"Sorry guys I hate to leave but it's getting late and Nathan's still at my house." Haley said.

"Oh la la, is Hot Teacher Guy sleeping over? That's a little raunchy." Brooke joked.

Haley rolled her eyes. "You have a sick mind Bookie. And don't call him Hot Teacher Guy, his name is Nathan, but apparently you knew that already."

Peyton snickered. "This is really great!"

Haley rubbed her temples, as Brooke clapped her hands excitedly.

"Oh my god! You so wanna go home to him right now! Aww this is so cute! Oh my god, you guys should totally stay up talking like all night and then maybe he will-" Brooke started to ramble.

"I'm gonna go before you start planning a freaking wedding, which is never going to happen, so get it through your thick skull Davis!" Haley joked.

Brooke playfully pouted "Did you just call me fat James?"

Haley smiled, "You make a stick look obese Brooke."

With that said, Haley and the girls hugged and said goodbye.

Once she was in her car, Haley turned her phone back on because Brooke made the new rule about no texting on girl's night, 'coincidently' on the same night she found out Haley was texting Nathan.

Haley sighed as she saw that there was one missed call, a voicemail, and two texts from Nathan. She bit her lip as she pressed the button to hear the voicemail.

"Hey Haley, it's Nathan Scott. I don't know if you remember me but I'm in charge of your son Jackson, you know- small kid, blue eyes, sandy hair? If you don't remember me I'm the really hot guy who's the gym teacher at Tree Hill High. Anyway Jackson-your son- wanted to say goodnight before bed. I bathed him and he's in his pjs and I'm putting him to bed now. Uh anyway I hope you're having a fun night. Don't worry about anything, we're fine. I hope you're okay though, I haven't heard from you in a while. Oh well, I don't want to interrupt. If you're not home by one though I'm coming to find you. Talk to you later, bye."

Haley's heart rate sped up at the fact that he was thinking about her, and worried about her.

I'm reading way too much into this. Get a grip!

She laughed as she heard Nathan joke about him being the hot gym teacher, because one day they were walking in the halls and heard a teenage girl say that 'Coach Scott is the hottest gym teacher- like- ever!' and Haley burst out laughing, which actually hurt his ego a bit. Haley also smiled when he asked if she remembered him, obviously joking.

That's definitely his sense of humor

Haley didn't want to think about Nathan so she quickly turned on her car radio.

When she heard the song she instantly thought of Nathan.

There goes not thinking about him… She thought as she starting singing the lyrics.

I don't know but I think I maybe
Fallin' for you dropping so quickly
Maybe I should keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I know you better

I am trying not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you

I've been waiting all my life and now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm falling for you.
I'm falling for you.

As I'm standing here and you hold my hand
Pull me towards you and we start to dance

All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I'm trying not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling.
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you

I've been waiting all my life and now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you.
I'm fallin' for you.

Oh, I just can't take it
My heart is racing
Emotions keep spinning out.

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you

I've been waiting all my life and now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you.
I'm fallin' for you.

I think I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you.
I'm fallin' for you.

Oh
Oh no no
Oh

Oh, I'm falling for you

A&F

Brooke finished cleaning up the living room, and knocked lightly on her bedroom door.

"Broody, are you in there?" She asked, but there was no reply.

She walked into the room to see Lucas laying on his back fast asleep. Brooke smiled at the sight. She tried not to wake her boyfriend while she was getting ready for bed, but when she closed her closet door it made a loud bang, and Lucas woke up.

"What the hell?" He mumbled.

"Sorry." Brooke said.

"It's okay. Did you have a good night pretty girl?" Lucas asked while pulling Brooke to bed, as she squealed.

"Yes I did, but I don't want to talk about my night." Brooke said.

Lucas suddenly pulled Brooke closer and kissed her deeply.

Brooke giggled. "No that's not what I meant." She explained and Lucas whined. "I want to talk about your night. What happened Luke?"

Lucas took a deep breath. "Nathan likes Haley."

Brooke suddenly jumped up and screamed a shrill sound. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Lucas covered his ears, "God Brooke, I know you're upset but please stop screaming!"

Brooke rolled her eyes. "You didn't say that last night." She winked.

Lucas rolled his eyes.

"I'm not upset Luke. That scream was a very, very happy scream." Brooke said grinning.

"Okay, I don't know what you're up to but whatever it is, don't think about it."

Brooke scrunched her nose. "Why not?"
"Because you know Nathan, and I know Nathan. He hasn't gotten laid since his accident, I doubt he actually likes Haley, he just wants to sleep with her, and we both know that Haley is not fit for Nathan. First of all, she would never even do that because Haley isn't like that. Secondly, my best friend and cousin, who's practically my brother- ew. And third of all, Haley can't get her heart broken again, and you know Nathan will do just that." Lucas explained.

"But what if you're wrong? What if Nathan actually likes Haley? Don't you want him and Haley to be happy?" Brooke asked.

Lucas sighed deeply. "I do want that, but I'm telling you they're not right for each other."

"So what are you going to do? You know people can't help who they like." Brooke inquired.

Lucas snickered. "It's Nathan. As soon as he sees another attractive girl he will forget about his little crush on Haley. So that's why I need your help." Lucas said.

Brooke smiled. "Yay! I love helping! Okay great so I already have the perfect plan! Nathan already likes Haley, and I think Haley likes Nathan- so I can totally set them up!" Brooke started to ramble getting more excited by the second.

"What the hell Brooke? Are you crazy? Were you listening to anything I just said? I don't want them together! It's not happening! And what do you mean you think Haley likes Nathan?" Lucas yelled.

Brooke totally forgot about her agreement with Haley not to tell Lucas about Nathan so she inwardly cursed herself.

"Nothing. It was just a guess, but Lucas c'mon please! They'd be so cute together!" Brooke begged.

Lucas smiled at his girlfriend's antics, but quickly got back on track.

"Brooke I need you to set Nathan up on a date so that he gets over Haley. Can you do that for me please?" He asked kissing her.

Brooke wasn't in the mood to argue so she just nodded and continued to kiss Lucas.

A&F

"Hello?" Haley asked as she entered her house. There was no reply, so she hung her coat in the closet, and walked further into her living room. Her heart warmed as she saw the sight in front of her. Nathan was fast asleep on the couch with Jackson sprawled out on top of him also sleeping. Haley thought it was the cutest thing she had ever seen and wanted to take a picture but suddenly thought that it would be a little creepy. She walked over to Jackson and kissed the top of his head. She really missed her son. For the first few years of his life she would never leave his sight, and she would never trust a babysitter with Jackson. For some reason, she felt safe with Nathan, and she trusted him completely, especially with her son.

Nathan stirred, and whispered "Haley" under his breath. Haley heard it and chuckled.

"Hey baby you're home." Nathan said as he saw Haley walk into the house.

Haley smiled when she saw Nathan waiting for her on the couch.

"You're still up?" She asked leaning over him and kissing him softly on the lips.

"Of course. You know I can't sleep without you next to me. I missed you so much." Nathan explained.

"Mhmm I missed you too handsome." Haley said. "How was Jackson?"

"He was good. He's asleep now. How was your night?" Nathan asked while Haley straddled him on the couch.

"It was good, but I'd rather be here." Haley said as she kissed Nathan deeply.

Nathan pulled Haley closer to his body, and kissed Haley back. Their tongues were dominating for control. Haley giggled, and Nathan smiled widely.

"Haley." He moaned.

"Yes?" She asked as she looked up into his dark blue eyes.

Nathan made a small noise, and continued to stir. His lips were pursed together but suddenly his blue eyes fluttered open. He smiled as he saw Haley leaning over him kissing Jackson's head. His smile fell through when he realized that she wasn't about to kiss him, like in his dream. He quickly grew embarrassed that he had a dream about Haley, and quickly sat up. While he sat up his head collided with Haley's creating a thud noise.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" Nathan rushed out.

Haley giggled. "I'm okay, are you?" She said while putting her soft hand on his forehead.

Nathan swallowed the lump in his throat.

This must be another dream

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. How are you?" Nathan asked.

"I'm great. I'm so sorry I got home late. I just head your message in the car, I was at Brooke's and she took my phone. I didn't plan on staying that late but I lost track of time…" Haley rambled.

Nathan chuckled, "It's okay Miss. James you're not in trouble." He said smirking.

Haley didn't know why but her face suddenly turned a shade of red, and giggled.

"Ok, so was Jackson good?"

Nathan smiled, "He was amazing. Literally best kid ever. We had a lot of fun. I'd be happy to come back if you ever need me."

Haley smiled back, as Nathan stood up. "Sorry I fell asleep, we were watching a movie…"

Haley giggled "It's okay. I know it's late, sorry again."

"No problem. So do you need me to carry him to his room? I'd hate to wake him up." Nathan said nodding toward Jackson's sleeping figure on the couch.

Haley's heart swelled at the compassion in Nathan's voice.

"Uh yeah that would be great, thank you."

Nathan gently picked up Jackson in his arms and headed to the stairs. Haley walked over and in front of Nathan to guide him to Jackson's room. As they headed up the stairs, Nathan tried everything in his power not to stare at Haley's backside.

"Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down." He chanted inside his head.

Unfortunately he couldn't stop himself and he let his eyes wander.

Oh god

Nathan suddenly felt all the blood in his body rush down south.

Control yourself

Nathan clenched his jaw as he made his way up the stairs. Suddenly his back grew in pain.

"It's the first door on the left." Haley said sweetly.

"Thanks." Nathan groaned in pain. He gently placed Jackson under the covers and pulled them up toward his chest.

"Goodnight buddy." He whispered, as Haley watched from the doorway, and she had to blink back the tears that were forming in her eyes.

Nathan felt another pain shoot up his back, and he winced in pain. He put his hand on his back and gently massaged it.

'Are you okay?" Haley said rushing over.

Nathan smiled at the warmth in her eyes, and worriedness in her voice.

This is why I like her- wait what? I'm making myself sick

"Uh yeah I'm okay. I just have a stiff back."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

Nathan nodded. "Well I guess I should get going now."

Haley frowned; she didn't want him to leave.

"Oh wait I have to give you something, I'll meet you downstairs." Haley said.

Nathan went back down and waited on the couch.

Haley ran down the stairs and handed Nathan a twenty dollar bill.

Nathan looked up and furrowed his brow. "What's this for?"

"You watched Jackson and brought a pizza. I would've given you more but it's all I have right now."

Nathan laughed. "Haley it's okay, I don't need money, I really didn't mind it at all. I was helping out a friend."

They both inwardly cringed at the word 'friend'

I want to be more than friends Nathan thought

Dude just ask her out.

No freaking way!

Why am I acting like a teenage boy?

Nathan had an inner battle with himself, as Haley also thought to herself.

Friend. That's right Haley. You are just friends and that's all you're going to ever be so get used to it. She grew sad at that thought and looked at Nathan.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

Nathan shook himself from his thoughts and looked into her deep brown eyes. His hands grew sweaty and he took a deep breath.

"Uh.. you see… the thing is… um."

Can you speak a coherent sentence freaking dumb ass Nathan thought to himself.

"I was wondering if um…"

Haley could see the struggle going on in Nathan's head and she furrowed her brows, "Yes?" she asked.

Nathan looked into her eyes again.

Bad move

He quickly cleared his throat, and chickened out. "We're still having lunch on Monday right?"

Haley was confused but smiled. "Of course. It's my favorite part of the day!"

Nathan let out a breath he was holding. "Oh okay good. Your turn to buy." He smirked.

Haley laughed and rolled her eyes playfully. "I know. You like Chinese right?"

Nathan nodded, "Fried rice is my favorite."

"I know you told me a thousand times."

Nice move genius, wait she remembered!

His heart almost leapt through his chest.

"Okay great. See ya Monday." Nathan said smiling at Haley.

"Okay, bye thanks again!" She said sweetly, and before she knew it she leaned in for a hug. Nathan wrapped his arms around her small frame and inhaled the scent of her strawberry shampoo that was embedded in his memory. The hug lasted way longer than a normal friendship hug should last, but neither of them noticed, neither of them cared, and neither of them wanted to let go.
