Another Update
It had been a month since Haley had went ice skating with Sam. School was good and Brooke had been keeping busy with the store and spending time with Lucas. Yesterday was Halloween so the school was having a party at the end of the day. Haley decided to dress up as her favorite Disney princess Sleeping Beauty. Peyton also dressed up as a Disney princess she was Cinderella.
The kid's camp was having a party also. They were going to be bobbing for apples and having a haunted house and an art station making your favorite mask. Sam was dressed up as his favorite superhero Batman. Haley couldn't help but think of the ice skating weekend. She was sure that Nathan was going to kiss her. Brooke was sure of it to.
Haley had also been busy working on her parent's party for their wedding anniversary next month.
The boys had finally finished the cabin. It took awhile but it was done. They had been moving in all week and decided to have a house warming party tonight.
"Hey Luke did you get the keg?" Nathan asked as he moved some boxes.
"Jake is getting the keg when he and Peyton come over." Lucas said.
Since it was fairly decent weather still the boys decided to grill some burgers and brats for everyone. Peyton had said that she would bring a dish over as did Brooke and Haley.
Andy, Karen and Sam and just gotten there and Karen brought her famous chocolate chip cookies. Keith and Deb had been there helping them set up the pool table downstairs. Karen and Deb were in the kitchen getting stuff ready as Lucas and Nathan were showing some people around.
"This turned out really nice guys." Jake said as they came up from downstairs.
"It was hard work but it was worth it." Nathan said.
"Lucas when are Brooke and Haley getting here?" Peyton asked.
"Should be here any minute Brooke had to meet some designer at the store this afternoon."
Nathan had been waiting for Haley to show up. He had only seen here once since her date with Sam. He saw her the other day at the resort when she had come and talked to her brother.
"Sorry I'm late." Brooke said as she walked in the door.
"It's ok. I'm sure Lucas is fine." Haley said laughing
"Here sure is." Brooke said with a smirk.
Brooke and Haley arrived at Nathan and Lucas's 20 minutes later. They were talking to Jake and Peyton as Nathan walked in from the patio with burgers and brats.
"Here let me take those you go and visit with your guest." His Aunt Deb said taking the plate from him.
Nathan had been taking to some guys from work when he saw her across the room. He waved at her and smiled. She waved back and continued talking to Peyton. Sam had walked over to Haley and tapped her on the hip and took her hand as he gave her a tour.
"Hey buddy you down here?" Nathan said as he walked down the steps to the basement.
"I was just giving Haley the tour." Sam said as he had her hand in his.
"Hi Nathan this place is really nice." Haley said smiling
"I'm glad that you could come." Nathan said suddenly nervous.
"Is Sam giving you the grand tour?" Nathan said as he rubbed his brother's head.
"He is a very good guide."
"I showed her everything Nathan." Sam said.
"Good well the food is ready hope that you are hungry"
They all just sat around talking and eating and having a good time. Keith and Andy were out in the garage with the boys playing bags and darts as all the girls were in the living room talking. Brooke was telling them about having lunch with her mom and Donna Karen in New York last week.
"Well I better go and get my husband and get this little guy home." Karen said as she lifted a sleeping Sam off the sofa.
"We should be going too. Leave the late night stuff to the kids." Deb said as she stood to give the girls hugs.
Everyone had gone home except Brooke and Haley. Brooke had wanted to spend some time with Lucas alone so Haley had to stay because she was her ride. Brooke and Lucas had gone somewhere to be alone so Haley and Nathan were in the living room.
"You want to play some pool?" Nathan asked her.
"Sure sounds good." Haley said as she followed him downstairs. "I'm not very good."
"Not very good you are kicking my butt Hales." Nathan said laughing
Haley smiled at the nickname he called her.
"My dad taught us how to play. Mike is better than me." Haley said as she took a shot.
"Remind me to never play pool with your family."
Haley liked being this relaxed with Nathan. They had both grown more comfortable around each other.
"I was wondering if sometime you would want to go and watch Sam's game with me sometime. I know that he would like it if you were there." Nathan said looking at her.
"I would love to go."
They played a couple more games and Haley won every time.
"Sorry I'm such a klutz." Haley said as she knocked over her glass and stared to pick up the glass.
"Here let me do that before you cut yourself." Nathan said.
"Too late." Haley said as she looked at her bleeding finger.
Nathan grabbed Haley's hand and led her to the downstairs bathroom. He opened the medicine cabinet and pulled out a box of band-aids. He ran her finger under the warm water. Haley noticed herself not breathing as he had her hand in his under the water.
"Is that better?" Nathan asked as he put the band-aid on her finger.
Nathan never let go of her hand he just kept rubbing her palm lightly. Their eyes locked to each other as he ran his hand over her cheek. Haley closed her eyes as she could feel his thumb run over her lips. Her heart was pounding so hard she thought it would pop out of her chest. Nathan's started to lean towards hers as she heard Brooke yelling. He quickly back away and walked out of the bathroom.
"Haley you ready to go?" Brooke said seeing her walk down the hall.
"You ok?" She said noticing her face was red.
"Just cut my finger on some glass. Nathan got me a band-aid." Haley said looking at him wishing Brooke would have come down 5 minutes later.
Brooke and Haley had gotten home from Lucas and Nathan's and Brooke could tell that something was up with Haley.
"Did I interrupt something between you and Nathan?"
Haley didn't say anything she just got a big smile on her face.
"I know that look Haley now tell me." Brooke exclaimed.
"He almost kissed me again till you came down."
Nathan had been cleaning up when Lucas walked in the kitchen.
"What's up with you and Haley?"
"Nothing"
"I find that hard to believe. You've got it bad for that girl."
"I almost kissed her."
"What do you mean almost?" Lucas asked
"I would have till your girlfriend came downstairs." Nathan said looking at him.
"We will have to set some rules about visitors."
