Haley rolled over in bed to be faced by two ocean blue eyes staring at her. A smile grew on her face as he leaned in for a kiss.
"Well good morning to you." She said still half asleep. "How long have you been awake?"
"Just a few minutes, but I wanted to watch you for a little bit, you're so peaceful when you sleep."
Haley leaned in and he parted his lips to allow for a kiss. Last night had been fun. They had a good time at dinner, and had a light make-out session after, but nothing more than that. They have decided to wait a little bit to take their relationship to the next level until they are ready.
Nathan rolled out of bed and Haley groaned as he slipped out of her grasp.
"Where are you going." Haley said whining as she held onto his arm.
"To make my girl some breakfast." He said smiling.
Haley smiled and let him vanish into the kitchen. She hopped out of bed and slipped on an oversized shirt and slippers, making her way into the kitchen.
Nathan stood by the stove, shirtless and in a pair of basketball shorts, making French toast. Haley smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist as she left butterfly kisses on his back.
"Smells good." She said in between kisses.
Nathan shifted to face her and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. As he pulled away, Haley's hand traveled into his hair and pulled him down for a deeper kiss. Nathan was a bit taken back by her actions but soon fell into her kiss. Their tongues wrestled and hands traveled around each other. Their kiss was broken by the sound of a smoke alarm.
Nathan quickly turned off the stove to see the burnt pieces of bread.
"Maybe that was for the best so that our first time is in the kitchen." Nathan said with a laugh.
"Aw you worked hard on those." Haley said as he threw the bread in the garbage.
"That's okay, I'll just run downstairs and pick up another package of bread in the mini mart." He replied.
"No, I'll do it, you relax." She responded placing a hand on his forearm.
She put on a pair of shorts and a jacket and headed downstairs.
Haley walked into the minimart and grabbed a package of bread. As she reached the check out, she saw Damien staring at her. He did freak her out a bit, but she didn't want her imagination to get ahead of herself.
Damien walked towards her and Haley's heart beat rose.
"Hey Haley, glad I ran into you." Damien said, standing so close to her that she felt uncomfortable.
"Oh, um hey." She responded, backing up a bit.
"Where's that boyfriend of yours?" He said, with emphasis on the word boyfriend.
"Um, he's upstairs." She replied, as his eyes burned a hole through her.
"Well that gives us some alone time." He said with a wink, making her want to throw up.
"Yeah, no thanks, I was just leaving." Haley said walking quickly to the door.
Damien grabbed her arm as she tried to retreat, and pulled her closer.
"Are you sure? We could have some fun together." He said to her in a soft but terrifying voice.
"Let go of me." Haley said pulling away from her and running upstairs.
She entered the door of her condo to see Nathan sitting on the couch.
"Hey, did you get lost?" Nathan asked with a chuckle.
He turned to her and saw her flushed face.
"What's wrong babe?" Nathan asked, quickly getting up from the couch to go over to her.
"Oh, um, I just saw Damien." She said softly, not wanting to upset him.
"What did he say to you?" Nathan asked, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Nothing important, he just asked where you were." Haley responded, not looking him in the eyes.
"Why would he ask that? Did he scare you?" He asked with concern.
Haley's silence answered his question.
"Haley. Did he touch you?" He asked, his anger now building up.
"He just grabbed my arm, it was nothing, don't worry." Haley said softly.
"I'll kill that bastard." Nathan said walking towards the door.
"Nathan no!" Haley said grabbing his arm.
"He touched you Haley! Did he hurt you?" Nathan said reaching for her arm gently.
"No, he just freaked me out a bit, but nothing happened." Haley said, trying to reassure him.
Nathan searched her eyes, sensing the fear.
"Fine. But if he pulls something like that again, I'll kill him." Nathan said, putting his arms around her waist.
He pulled her tighter to himself. He felt her rapid heartbeat, and could tell she was clearly shaken. He moved his hands to her hair and smoothed it down. Placing a small kiss on her head, he consoled her some more. Something felt wrong about this to him.
Nathan walked through the gym door for his first practice. He had gotten there an hour early to warm up, like he and Lucas had done before Luke was diagnosed with HCM.
Nathan had just finished warming up his free throws when the door to the gym opened again.
Damien walked in, and Nathan could feel his fists clench.
"Scott." Damien yelled. "Good to see you warming up, you're going to need it."
Nathan didn't respond, he just continued to shoot.
"No response. Guess you're still upset that Haley likes me better." Damien said with a laugh.
Nathan dropped the ball and walked over to him.
"What did you just say?" Nathan said sternly.
"Hey man, it's not my fault the chicks dig me."
Nathan's fists balled up again, ready to swing.
"Don't ever come near Haley again." Nathan said in a warning tone.
Damien smirked.
Nathan grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer.
"I mean it. You so much as look at her the wrong way and I'll break you." Nathan said furious.
"Just trying to be friendly man." Damien said, still smirking.
Nathan released him, and pushed him forcefully to the ground with a thud.
"That's for touching my girlfriend." Nathan said, as he walked towards the locker room.
