AN- Hi guys. Sorry for the delay in this chapter. Life got in the way this week so I was having trouble getting back to it. Hopefully I can get you another update this weekend or at least by Monday. Thanks for your reviews. Please keep them coming. They help me stay focused.
Chapter 2 So Long Sweet Summer
So
long sweet summer
I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in
your rays
So long sweet summer
I fell into you
Now you're
gracefully falling away
Hey thanks
Thanks for that summer
It's cold where you're going
I hope that your heart's always
warm
I gave you the best
Gave you the best that I have
So,
so long sweet summer
I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in
your rays
So long sweet summer
I fell into you
Now you're
gracefully falling away
I hate the winter, in Lexington
I
hate the winter, in Lexington
In Lexington, Lexington, Lexington
Dashboard Confessional
Haley sat up in their bed and looked around. She had felt the empty sheets beside her and was trying to figure out where Nathan was. Once she got her sleep muddled head clear, she realized that she heard the shower going. Smiling to herself, she moved toward the bathroom. As she opened the door, the shower door opened and Nathan stepped out.
"Well damn" she told her husband.
"What?"
"I was going to surprise you and get in there with you."
"Well it's not like I can't get back in" he smirked and took her hand pulling her to him. "C'mere" When he had his wife pulled flush up against him his head bent to claim her lips. He smoothed his tongue across her bottom lip begging for entrance, an entrance that his wife was only too happy to allow. As the kiss grew in intensity Nathan lifted Haley up to him with his arms that he had placed around her waist. Once she was eye level with her husband her legs wrapped around his waist. "Mmmm, Morning" he said.
She loosened the hold that her legs had and pulled the towel that was twisted together as his waist off, leaving him standing against her completely naked. "Morning" she whispered.
Nathan lifted his Duke T shirt over her head, leaving Haley standing there only in her thong after he had moved her back to her feet. The shiny royal blue satin type material was the only thing that hindered their joining that both intended to have.
Lifting Haley back up by her waist he claimed her lips again. He reached between them during the mind blowing kiss, moving his finger to her center, a moan escaping his throat when he found her wet and ready for him. After tearing the thin sides of the thong so that he could lift her up from him slightly and remove it. He then knelt down to the white shag rug on the floor in their ensuite bathroom. Desire was running so deep this morning that as soon as Haley's back touched the rug, Nathan was entering her with one swift thrust. "Mmmmm, God Hales." He pumped at a slow pace to begin with. Satisfied in savoring their love making this morning, he wanted to take his time. His wife however had very different ideas. She placed her small foot against his ass and urged him deeper.
"Harder, Nathan, please. I need you this morning so bad" she whispered.
Her sexy plea only served to turn him on more. "Hales, I want this to last longer this time baby" his breathless response came. Haley allowed his thrusts to continue slowly for as until she thought she would explode. She lifted both of her small feet and lightly dug them into the cheeks of his ass, spreading them as she pulled her heels against each other. This served two purposes. It made Haley open up more and her husband thrusted even deeper, sinking his thick base to the hilt and it caused even more blood to surge to his impossibly hard staff. "Oh God Haley"
"Nathan oh Nathan, God baby" Haley moaned as fireworks exploded before her closed eyes. Her husband had rubbed against her cervix and the explosion for both of them came at the same moment.
As Nathan felt himself coming back to earth, he lifted his head from the crook in his wife's neck, kissing up and down the slender area, he moaned again in her ear. "Jesus Hales the things you do to me"
"Mmmm" she answered blissfully.
After breakfast that morning the kids were all ready for school. Nathan had to go by the kids club and the Raven's first practice was that afternoon. He had refused to take the team over until after tryouts were held. He knew that Jamie was good enough for varsity but he didn't want it to be said that he had made it because his dad was the coach. Whitey had agreed that was the best way to handle it so he ran the tryouts and selected the players. After everyone left the house the Scott's began their day.
Haley went to meet Peyton at the studio that morning. As she opened the door to Red Bedroom wreckers her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" No one answered. "Hello?" Still no one answered. Haley closed her phone back after a few seconds of waiting. "Guess they lost their signal." She walked in and found Peyton's office. Moving through the door she smiled. "Hey Peyton"
"Hey there Foxy. What's happening?"
"Nothing much. I wanted to drop this music by for you to check out."
Peyton looked over the title and the words to the song. "And I get to hear it when?"
"I'll do it for you later ok? I have a lot of errands to run today and I wanted to sit in on Jamie's first practice as a Raven. Brian has practice at the middle school today and Natalie and Nicole have cheer practice. This allows me some Jamie time if you get my meaning."
"Oh Haley come on. You just want to go out there and watch that man of yours run up and down the court getting all sweaty."
Haley smiled her shy little smile. "Well yeah. There's that too"
"Hey Haley, I have a favor to ask you."
"Ok"
"Saturday night we are having an all ages night here at the club. Would you sing this song that night?"
"Why don't you get one of your artists to sing it Peyton? You know maybe the one that is going to record it?"
"Haley that gives you a chance to perform. I know you loved it when you were on tour. This allows you to do that and remain at home with your family."
"I'll think about it ok?"
"That's fair" Peyton smiled.
"I'll catch you later Peyton"
"See ya Tutor Mom"
As Haley walked into the gym she heard her husband's voice.
"Ok guys, we've got a lot to get done over the next six weeks. Practice is going to run from three thirty to six every day Monday thru Friday. Saturday's ten to four. We have a lot of new plays to learn and I want us ready for Bear Creek in that first scrimmage game. Alright? Raven's on three 1, 2, 3, Ravens" the team shouted.
Haley moved to the bleachers and sat behind the area that Nathan's stuff was sitting. Suddenly he blew his whistle. "Ok guys suicides go" he yelled.
Haley smiled to herself. It was amazing how comfortable Nathan looked in his new role in the game. He had always played the game but never coached it. At thirty three years old it was time to pass his unique knowledge to other players. There was so much that he could teach them. Haley watched him for almost an hour. He hadn't even realized that she had come in. He was studying the players intensely. She knew he was looking for areas to capitalize on in each player. Nathan Scott would build one hell of a team if these guys would just follow his lead.
He blew his whistle for the guys to take a break. Turning to his clip board his sapphire blue eyes locked with the doe eyes that he was always lost in. "How long have you been there" he smiled.
"Mmmm long enough Mr. Scott"
One of the team members heard this exchange and turned to a team mate. "Who's that oh so fuckable blonde?"
Jamie had been coming up behind the guy and heard his comment. He pushed him hard. "That's my mom you freak" A fight quickly broke out among the two young men. Nathan blew his whistle and grabbed Jamie around the shoulders while one of the team players grabbed the other guy.
"Hey! That's enough you two. Jamie, what the hell man?" Nathan scolded.
"Nothing"
"Jason? Do you care to tell me what that was about?"
"Ah No. Thanks anyway coach."
"Ok you two, laps until I tell you to stop."
"Coach" the two boys whined. Nathan's look told them that they didn't need to argue.
He walked back over to Haley and smiled.
"What was that about?" she asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he'll tell me on the way home from practice. Which reminds me, what time do you have to pick up Bri and the girls?"
Haley looked at her watch. It was almost five o clock. "Five thirty" she told him.
"Ok. What are you doing here anyway Hales? I didn't expect you to come to the gym today."
"I wanted to see how Jamie did in his first practice."
"Hales, you can't do that baby. You'll embarrass the boy."
"Ok, I'm sorry. You never had a problem with me watching you practice."
"You aren't my mom though" he smirked.
"Fine, I won't come again" she said looking down at her watch.
"I need to go anyway. I was going to stop and pick up some bread so I'll meet you at home ok?"
"Kiss first?" he asked.
She leaned closer to his lips and pecked them. Nathan groaned at the small gesture. "We don't want to embarrass the boy" she smirked.
"I knew that comment would bite me in the ass" he smiled.
As Jamie and Jason ran laps, Jason tried to apologize to Jamie.
"Man I'm sorry. I had no idea that was your Mom. She is pretty was all I meant by what I said."
"Yeah, whatever." Jamie smirked.
"You aren't going to tell Coach are you?"
"I should. You know that's his wife right?"
"Yeah now I do, but I had no idea that's who she was when I said it. He'll kick my ass man."
"Yeah I know" Jamie smirked again and sped up to get ahead of Jason.
On the way home from practice Jamie was quietly staring out of the window.
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"How did you know that you were in love with Mom?"
Nathan looked over at his son. "Well Jamie, I couldn't stand not to be around her and when I was around her I felt like I couldn't breathe. Every her arm grazed my arm or she held my hand my skin would feel like it tingled at her touch. Why son? What makes you ask that?"
"I don't know. Just curious I guess"
"Are you going to tell me what happened with Jason today in practice?"
"You don't want to know Dad. Don't worry I took care of it."
"What?" Nathan chuckled.
"Let's just say Jason thinks Mom is hott" Jamie smirked.
"Oh" Nathan's mouth formed a circle.
"Son, if I haven't said it lately I want you to know how proud of you I am. Jamie you're a good boy. You have a lot of initiative and you will go far in life with determination son. Don't ever doubt it."
"Thanks Dad"
As Jamie and Nathan pulled up into the garage he saw Haley's Denali. She had made it home just a few minutes before him. When he walked in the kitchen, he smelled the mouth watering aromas of supper before he saw her.
"Hi baby"
"Hey Hales." He kissed her full lips.
"Natalie and Nicole need to see you" she told him.
"Ok. What about?"
"I think I'll let them tell you." she smiled.
"Great. What have they done?" Nathan smirked.
"I didn't say they had done anything Nathan. I only said they needed to see you."
"Yeah but that is usually followed by do something with YOUR children." he smirked again.
Haley just looked at her husband and shook her head. Nathan picked up a celery stick and popped it in his mouth as he moved out of the kitchen. As he was walking up the steps Haley's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" There was no answer. "Hello?" This time she heard heavy breathing. "Ok who is this?" The breathing stopped and a deep eerie voice replaced it. "I want you to tutor me girl" The line went dead.
Haley pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at the caller ID. Unknown was all that it said. She couldn't shake the feeling of the hair standing up on her neck. 'That was just weird' she thought.
When Nathan reached Natalie's room he stuck his head in the door. "I hear you girls need to see me?"
"Hi Dad" Natalie said.
Nicole heard Nathan's voice and moved to her sister's room.
"Hi Daddy" she chirped.
"Ok, I can tell by the looks on those faces its trouble. What's up?"
"Dad, there's" Both girls started at once.
"Hold on one at a time" Nathan told his daughters.
"Dad there's this dance at school Friday night" Natalie told him.
"And?" Nathan asked.
"And Nic and I have been asked to go."
"Asked to go by who?"
"You know Dad boys"
"Yeah Daddy, Stanton Heath asked me this morning to be his date" Nic giggled.
"And Dad, Michael Stevens asked me to go with him" Natalie grinned.
"You two do realize you're only eleven years old right?"
"Hey we're almost twelve." Nicole spoke.
"Ah madam, you won't be twelve until next August. You've just turned eleven."
"But Dad all our friends are going. Bri even wants to go"
"I'll think about it. That's all I'm promising."
Nathan moved to walk downstairs but not before he noticed the scowl on each of the girls faces. He walked back into the kitchen and frowned when he saw Haley's face.
"Hales, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I just got a weird phone call that's all"
"What kind of weird phone call Haley?"
"Wrong number. But the name they asked for was weird." she lied.
"Oh. You had me worried there for a second." He leaned in to place a soft kiss on her lips. "I'm going to take a shower before dinner baby"
"Ok. It should be ready in thirty minutes or so"
"Ok. I'll kiss ya later"
After Dinner and homework was finished the Scott's sat in the living room watching a TV. Haley and Nathan were reclining on the couch while the kids were sitting at various places on the floor.
Natalie turned her head to her dad. "Have you thought about it Dad?"
At first Nathan wasn't sure what she meant. It quickly came to him. She wanted to know if she and Nicole could go to the dance. "I have been, but I haven't decided Nat."
"Daddy" she whined. "I want to give Michael an answer tomorrow"
"Tomorrow's only Tuesday Natalie. Make him sweat it out."
"Ugggg" She groaned. "Why did my dad have to be Nathan Scott?"
Haley looked over to her husband and smiled. "Blame your uncle Lucas Natalie"
"Yeah Nat. Call Luke and tell him it's all his fault." Nathan jumped in.
"Dad does that mean that I can't go?" Bri asked.
This put Nathan in a bad spot. He could let Bri go without his conscience bothering him. His girls were a different story. He thought about how he wanted to answer that question for several minutes.
"Bri, I tell you what, you can go and take your sister's as dates. How's that?"
"DAD" they all fussed.
"Ok. Let me sleep on it and I'll give you three an answer tomorrow morning. That's the best I'm going to give you tonight"
As Haley lay in bed putting lotion on her skin, Nathan was in the bathroom getting ready for bed. The phone call that she had gotten had really freaked her out. She didn't want to worry Nathan so she decided to just let it go. Chances are they wouldn't call back anyway.
When he climbed in bed and turned out the lamp on his side of the bed, Nathan moved in close beside his wife, pulling her to his chest and wrapping his arm protectively around her waist.
"I think our oldest son has a crush Hales."
"Tiffany?"
"How did you know that?"
"Bri let that cat out of the bag when we came home from Texas remember?"
"Oh yeah. Well Jamie asked me today how I knew when I fell in love with you"
"So you're his go to man huh?"
"I guess so"
"Well he asked me Saturday how did you get me to fall in love with you" Haley snickered.
"Oh yeah? What did you tell him?"
"I'll never tell" she snuggled her back closer to his chest.
The following morning as they got ready for their day and had moved downstairs to eat breakfast, the kids chatted back and forth at the table while Nathan drank his coffee and Haley finished cleaning up the kitchen.
"Ok guys" Nathan said after clearing his throat. "I've made a decision"
The kitchen became quiet enough to hear a pin drop. All eyes were on him. All ears were open and all hopes were soaring. "The three of you can go to this dance. BUT, you will be coming home at ten thirty."
"Dad the dance doesn't start until seven thirty" Natalie argued.
"Your point?"
"Ok ten thirty" She turned to her sister and they both broke out in great big grins, while moving up and down in their seats. Natalie knew better than to push for a later curfew, her dad wouldn't let her go at all if she did.
"Oh and one more thing" Nathan added. "Either your mother or I will be taking you to the dance and going to pick you up."
"WHAT?" the girls asked.
"You heard me"
"But Dad our dates are supposed to do that" Natalie said.
"I don't think so young lady. You are too young to date. Now do you want to meet your little friends there or do you want to stay home?"
"Meet them there" Natalie said defeatedly
"Good, so we understand each other. Oh and by the way, I am going to call Principle Johnson today and your mom and I are going to offer to be chaperones"
If looks could kill Nathan knew that Haley would be a widow at that moment. He didn't care though. No little hard dick boy was going to mess with his girls. Nathan knew how they thought. He knew how they acted and he knew what they wanted and they were not getting it from his twins.
Haley hadn't been any less surprised by the chaperone part of Nathan's speech than her daughters were. Nathan hadn't mentioned that to her. Of course she didn't mind doing it if it meant that her daughters could go and Nathan could have piece of mind but he could have discussed it with her.
On the way to the studio that morning Haley was thinking about this morning's breakfast conversation. She quickly began to giggle. She knew that the girls becoming interested in boys was not going to be easy for Nathan but she never thought he would rig it to spy on them in order to ease his guilty conscience. She pulled up in a parking space and got out and locked the Denali.
Once inside she heard music coming from the loud speaker and realized that someone was recording. She moved to production room that was next to the studio. Peyton was standing there working on the mix of sounds during the taping.
"Hey Peyton."
"Hey Haley" she hugged her friend.
"I'm glad you're here. Take five guys" she told the band.
"Oh yeah. What's up?"
"I want you to listen to this song that "Stu Troop" is playing. It needs something. I just don't know what"
"Ok"
They chatted back and forth for a couple of minutes until Haley's cell phone rang.
"Hello"
"Hey Hales"
"Nathan, Hi"
"I just wanted to tell you it looks like we are chaperoning this dance thing Friday night at the middle school."
"Ok. Does that make you feel better about the girls going?"
"Yeah it does. Are you mad?"
"No. I'm not mad just surprised."
"How?"
"Well you didn't mention it to me before you told them we were going to do it. I wasn't prepared for the questions I got on the way to school this morning."
"I'm sorry Hales. The idea came to me and I went with it"
"It's ok. Oh by the way, Tric is having an all ages night Saturday night and Peyton wants me to perform."
"Ok"
"Jamie will want to come I am sure"
"What if we take all of the kids?"
"Do you really want your two crystal daughters in a club with horny high school boys?"
"You've got a point"
"Yeah I thought so" Haley smiled.
"We'll just have to talk to Jamie and make sure he doesn't tell them where he's going. I guess."
"Ok. Or we could just not mention it to any of them and you and I just go."
"Ok. We'll talk about it ok?"
"Alright baby. See you later."
"I love you Hales"
"I love you too Nathan"
"Ok Peyton, I will perform for you on Saturday night."
"Cool" Peyton smiled.
As the band began to play there song again, Haley listened to their sound. Once the song was finished she asked Peyton if she could use the earphones. When Peyton handed them to her, she began to put them on her ears as she mashed the button and told the band "All right guys from the top." Haley began to move the slides on the mixing board as the group played. When the song was finished, she replayed it and listened to her changes through the headphones. When it was completed she handed the headphones back to Peyton and hit the play button so she could listen to her tweaks.
"Haley that's sounds awesome."
"The keyboard wasn't coming in strong enough and the bass guitar was a little too dominate."
"You rock girlie"
"Thanks Peyton. Well I better get going. I can't believe its two o'clock already." Her cell phone rang again.
"Hello" no answer. "Hello?" the breathing began again. "Who is this? What do you want?"
"I want to fuck you bitch" and the call was dropped.
Haley stood and looked at her phone. Peyton quickly became concerned. "Hales, you ok?"
"Yeah"
"Who was that Haley?"
"I don't know Peyton. I've been getting phone calls for the last two weeks that were what I thought were dropped calls. Last night the person began breathing heavy. The guy finally spoke when I asked who it was and what they wanted."
"What did they say?"
"He said he wanted me to tutor him and called me girl."
"Haley that's just creepy"
"Yeah. Look Peyton I need to go. I have to go pick up the girls and carry them to the dentist. I'll catch you later ok?"
"Haley? What did he say today?"
Haley looked back at Peyton but never answered her.
Friday night had finally come. Nathan was dressing in a velour midnight blue Polo shirt and khaki slacks. Haley had on black slacks and a cream colored v-neck sweater. They were standing around the edge of the dance floor with two other parent couples.
"Hales, what's wrong baby? You've been quiet all day."
"Nothing's wrong. I've just been busy today. I had a lot on my mind."
"What? Is there anything I can help with?"
"No. I've just been trying to work on a song" she told him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah baby. I'm fine"
As Nathan heard the song that was beginning to play he took his wife's hand and pulled her to the dance floor.
I
love you more than I should
So much more than is good for me
More
than is good
Oh
the timing is cruel
Oh I need and don't want to need
More than
I should
I
am falling
Say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is
love but whatever
My heart needs around
Oh
my sheet is so thin
So I say I can't sleep because
It's so very
cold
But
I know what I need
And if you were just near to me
Would you
go...
I
am falling
Say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is
love
But whatever
My heart needs around
I
am falling
Say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is
love
But whatever
My heart needs around
And
it needs you
Too much
Now.
When
the song ended Nathan pulled her even closer and softly kissed her
lips.
"I love you Haley" he whispered.
"I love you too"
As they talked to one of the other couples that were chaperoning, Nathan saw Natalie and Michael dancing. He kept a careful eye on them and Nicole and Stanton. 'That's right boys you better be gentlemen. I hate to have to run you out of here after already scaring you to death'
Flashback
Natalie and Nicole drug their parents over to meet the guys that had asked them to the dance.
"Mom and Dad, this is Michael Stevens" Natalie introduced him. "Michael this are my parents. Nathan and Haley Scott"
"Nice to meet you" the little boy said.
Then it was Nicole's turn. "Mom and Dad, this is Stanton Heath. Stanton this is my parents. Nathan and Haley Scott"
"Hello sir. Hi mam" Stanton shook their hands.
Nathan noticed Michael rolling his eyes at his friend's nice gesture. He turned to Haley "Honey why don't you and the girls go get some punch. The guys and I will wait right here"
Haley gave Nathan a warning look and moved to take the twins over to the refreshment table.
"Mom what is he going to do?"
"Nothing Nat he just wants to talk to them"
"Yeah right. You do realize this is Dad we're talking about?"
Nathan was carrying on a friendly conversation with the two young boys until he noticed Michael looking up and down a girl that just passed by him.
"Ok boys let's get an understanding here and now. You two better not be up to anything but dancing tonight. I'd hate to go to jail for hurting to small boys that aren't even teenagers. You got me?"
Both boys nodded to Nathan and had a dreaded look of fear on their face. Nathan smiled to himself. "Good. There won't be any trouble then tonight then"
He moved to his wife who was walking towards him with the cups of punch. As he took one from her he placed his hand at the small of her back and guided her to stand near another couple that were chaperoning.
End Flashback
Haley had been watching the play of emotions cross her husbands face as he watched the two boys that had danced with his daughters. "Nathan, what did you do?" she smiled.
"I didn't do anything baby"
"Why do I find that hard to believe with you standing there looking at those two young boys with hell in your eyes?"
"I don't know baby. I'm just keeping my eye on them."
"Yeah… what did you say?"
Nathan held his head down for a second and looked back into her gorgeous doe eyes. She knew him so well. "I just told them that if they knew what was good for them they would only dance tonight" he smirked.
"Nathan I can't believe you felt you had to do that"
"Hey we just as well break them in now as later right?"
Haley giggled. "You are too much"
"You wouldn't love me any other way Mrs. Scott"
Haley smiled at her husband. She had been wondering all afternoon if she should tell him about the prank calls she had been getting. After many deliberations, she decided they were just that "prank" calls. She decided to just forget about it. The calls weren't threatening. It was probably just some young kid that had somehow randomly picked her number and dialed one day.
When the dance was finally over Nathan rounded up the kids and they moved to the Denali. Once the family was in they drove back to the house. The SUV was quiet. Too quiet for it to be Nathan and Haley's kids. Finally Nathan spoke. "Ok what's up?"
"Dad, did you really tell Michael that he better not do anything but dance with me tonight?"
"Ahhh Nat, what else were you expecting him to do little lady?"
"I don't know but Dad you shouldn't have done that. It was embarrassing."
"Yeah Dad you told Stanton the same thing. What did you think they were going to do carry us under the bleachers and make out like you and Mom?"
Bri was in the third seat laughing so hard he could barely catch his breath. "Dad, they got you there."
When Haley heard Bri's comment she too broke out in laughter. "Baby, you should have known they would use it against you one day."
"Hey! Wait a minute. I'll have you kids know that your mother and I are married. Happily married. Did you ladies get married and forget to send me the bill?"
Both of his daughters groaned. "Dad you don't have to be married to hold hands." Natalie said.
Nathan blew out a large sigh of relief. He had no idea what was going to come out of Natalie's mouth after you don't have to be married. He dreaded the day that the girls got older. This shit would surely drive him crazy.
Don't forget to review Please!!
