Carolina School of Excellence

Chapter Ten

Today is the day I get this brace off, today is the day I get to walk freely. Today is the day I get to kiss Nathan. I'm so excited, and nervous, and ready. I can't wait to get this appointment over with. I turned to my left and see Nathan fiddling with is jacket zipper and I can't help but smile

"Are you ready for this," I as him trying to get a feel for how he's feeling.

"Oh you have no idea. After all those sexy texts and you wearing your low cut shirts and that strawberry shampoo, and that sexy perfume, it's driving me crazy. I hope you know I don't plan on taking us back to school from here. We'll go back after lunch but before that, you're all mine." He informed me.

"Oh yeah I like the sound of that." I grinned leaning closer to him. "But could we please just get to the kissing already? I really just want to have something to look forward to when I get out of this appointment, you know it could just be like a really small peck on the lips."

"I don't know that wasn't the deal. But then maybe if we just pecked on the lips we'll be more prepared for the real kissing that's going to be done." He replied leaning in closer. His lips were just about to touch mine when the nurse came out and called my name. At that point we both let out a frustrated sigh, "I guess there's not a preview." Nathan said.


As we walked out of the doctor's office with my new brace that I only have to wear when I'm doing vigorous activities like dance class, my nerves were getting to me, I wasn't sure how the whole kissing thing was going to happen. I know we've been teasing each other and all, but I've suddenly become overwhelmingly nervous. I keep stealing glances at Nathan as we walk to his SUV, and every time he's looking at me, and every time I feel the blush creep up on my face. We finally reached his vehicle after what seemed like forever I was fully expecting him to just hop in and we'd just pull off but no apparently he had other plans. Instead as soon as we reached his vehicle he pinned me up against it. He leaned down so he was less than an inch from my mouth and could feel his warm breath on my skin as he whispered "I don't know about you but I'm done waiting."

Before I could respond or control the giant butterflies in my stomach his lips were on mine and we shared a very sensual, passionate, lingering kiss. There was nothing too crazy about it, but oh my god if you could feel how great it feels for me, then you'd understand what happened next.

"I feel so much better," Nathan said turning to open the car. But I was still in a shock from the kiss I can't really be held responsible for my actions. At this point I grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him back to me. This kiss was filled with more urgency and want and need. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hopped up off the ground as he slid his hands down my backside and lifted me. This kiss was definitely filled with something I've never had before in my life. I still don't know what that is but, I don't ever want to lose it. I'm not sure how long we were in this position but we only broke apart because air was increasingly becoming an issue. Nathan kept me in his arms as he placed me in the passenger seat leaning in to give me a quick kiss on the lips. "Now I feel better," I said as he smirked at me before picking up the belongings I was holding before the kissing started. He closed my door and walked around and climbed into the driver seat. "So where are we going?"

He just looked at me and smirked, oh that damn smirk, only difference now is that I can kiss him. "Well I was thinking we could go to one of my favorite places, it's got a secluded roof top patio and I kind of have it on reserve." I didn't say anything just reached up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before looking out the window.

We pulled up to the restaurant. "This is where you're taking me?" I asked completely shocked. We were currently standing outside of Karen's Café.

"Yeah I know you work here, but I talked to Karen and she said it was ok if we had a secluded lunch just the two of us on the roof." He looked down and kissed me on the forehead. "I hope this is ok."

"Are you kidding it's more than ok, I love coming here." I told him, more than excited.

We enjoyed our lunch, it was just the two of us, we ate, talked, and kissed a lot. It was a perfect way to spend the morning. The whole secret admirer thing was getting to me. I finally get to have Nathan without being distracted by my recovery process and now I have to meet up with this person and act like I'm not thinking about somebody else the entire time.


Today is finally the day. I'm sitting here with Brooke getting our nails done, then it's off to do hair and makeup then, we are going back to my place to get into our dresses and accessorize, as Brooke refers to it. We have about 3 hours before the boys meet us at my place and then we're heading to the dance. I'm so anxious to get this over with. All I want is to spend the night with my friends dancing having a good time, but instead I'm going to be anxiously awaiting the secret admirer's reveal.

"So are you going to give me the details or are you just going to leave me in suspense?" Brooke asked bringing me out of my agonizing thoughts.

"What are you talking about?" I asked just to annoy her. I knew exactly what she was referring to.

"Don't do that Haley. You know exactly what I'm talking about. The kiss! How was it?" she replied all giddy like she always is when it comes to stuff like this.

I let out a satisfied sigh. "You have no idea how great it was. I was so nervous when we first left the doctor's office. I just thought it would come later while we were hanging out for lunch, but as soon as we got to the car, he said he couldn't wait any longer and he kissed me long and sensually right there pinned up against his truck." I almost got lost in the memory, it was like I could feel his lips on mine right now. "Then, he was about to get in the truck, but I pulled him back for a full on hot, sexy make out session right there in the parking lot. Oh man Brooke all I want to do is lock myself in a room and kiss him all day. For the rest of forever."

"Wow! That's so hot I wish I could have seen that." I looked at Brooke with a What! Expression. "Don't give me that look, you two have been dancing around each other, teasing each other, torturing each other for the last couple of weeks, I think I deserve to witness the hotness that is Naley reunion kiss. I had to witness the torture first hand." I couldn't do anything but laugh at Brooke's comment.

When we finally finished our hair appointment, we hopped into the limo, which Brooke had insisted we get because, she wasn't going to risk us messing up our hair or nails driving, we headed back to my place. It was only half an hour before the guys got there, but Brooke refused to let me get into my dress until after we ate. So I was trying to eat as fast as I could without choking or getting heart burn. I put my plate in the sink before heading up the stairs. I put my dress on, my jewelry, and as I was strapping my shoes I heard the door bell. Then Brookes voice "Hales the guys are here." I just laughed to myself.

"Yeah well I would have been ready already but someone refused to let me get dressed…" the last word went dead on my lips when I noticed how sexy Nathan was in his tux. "Hey you," I said walking straight up to him.

"Hey you're self. You look absolutely breathtaking." He said before he leant down and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I furrowed my brow at him. "What?"

"That's all I get is a quick kiss on the cheek? You are aware that we can kiss each other now right?" He looked at me stunned. "Oh no that's ok. I'll just share this no rub off lipstick with somebody else."

"Oh you mean like you're secret admirer?!" I could see the anger in his face.

"Baby, you know I'd rather be with you and as soon as I meet him and thank him for the compliment I'm coming back to you." I said wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Yeah, but what if he's a weird creepy guy? What if he tries to do something?" He asked his eyes full of concern.

"Well the you're just going to have to stay near by so you can keep and eye on him!" That seemed to be enough for him because he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in for a long and hard kiss. Oh man, the things he does to me. We just stood there looking into each other's eyes when we were broken out of our trances from Brooke cheering.

"You're right Hales, that was soooooo…. Hot!!!" I hid my blush in Nathan's chest before turning around and grabbing my purse off the table.

"Alright, lets get this show on the road." I said walking towards the door with Nathan in tow. I don't want to give Brooke another opportunity to embarrass me. We engaged in idol chat on the way to the school. All the while Nathan and I stealing kisses every chance we got. God, could he be any hotter? I thought to myself as we pulled up to the front of the building and Nathan wrapped me up in his arms as we awaited entrance.


The dance was in full swing and I was having a blast with my friends, until I realized it was now 10:25 and I had to meet my secret admirer in just five minutes. "Urgh I don't want to do this." I said while hugging Nathan.

"Just go get it over with so you can come back to my awaiting arms." He commented. "Ill stay right here, it's close enough so that if anything happens I can see you, but far enough so that this person won't see me watching you."

"Alright, I guess it's now or never." I gave him one last kiss before walking through the crowd up to the front, I glanced back one time to see Nathan standing there with Brooke and Lucas watching me.

This really sucks, I don't know even know who I'm looking for. I started looking at people to see if I saw anyone that it could be. But there was no-one. I turned from the crowd towards the stage and out of the corner of my eye I saw someone standing there with the pretty purple flowers that I love, but there was no way it could be this person…this person was AJ from my music theory class. AJ never even said two words to me. That's not even the worst part AJ is a girl!!! Oh my god it can't be, she never stuck me as the type, I always saw her flirting with boys in the hall, oh my god what am I supposed to do? She walking towards me…
