More Than What It Seems ch10
"Hales, hurry up please," as he sat waiting for her to finish getting ready.
"I'm coming," she spoke as she walked into the kitchen to meet him.
"What took you so long, your normally pretty good at getting ready," he commented to her.
"I was rechecking my hospital bag," she replied not making eye contact with him.
"Hey, promise me for the rest of the evening you won't think about it," He spoke putting his hand under her chin lifting her head to look at him.
"Nathan, that's a lot easier said than done," she spoke softly to him.
"How about I don't drink tonight either," he suggested to her.
"You would do that for me?" she questioned in surprise to him.
"Yes, I would do anything for you," he spoke leaning in to give her a sweet kisses on the lips.
Since he wasn't drinking Nathan decided to drive them both over to Karen's house. On the way he kept glancing over at Haley, sensing she wasn't herself.
"You okay?" he questioned to her.
"Just nervous about meeting your family," she commented to him with a small smile.
"Hey, you have nothing to be nervous about. They are going to love you and we both know Brooke will be doing most of the talking tonight," Nathan commented trying to put her mind at ease.
"Okay," she replied just sitting there looking out the window the rest of the car ride.
"Umm Brooke, do you know when your brother is getting here?" Karen questioned to her.
"Hopefully so, I thought he would have been here by now," she replied to her smiling.
"It's okay, we aren't in any rush anyways,!" she replied to her.
"There here," Lily shouted running into the kitchen like a mad thing.
"Okay, relax sweetheart. We don't want to scary them do we," Karen commented to her very excited daughter.
"Yeah you're right," she replied starting to settle down.
Nathan and Haley finally parked the car and got out. They were walking up to the front door when Nathan leaned over to Haley and whispered," you look really sexy in that dress."
Haley started to blush a little bit," thank you," she spoke as Nathan lead her into the house.
"Nathan, who is this beautiful girl?" Keith questioned coming over to greet them both.
"This is Haley James," he spoke introducing her.
"Well it's lovely to meet you Haley," he spoke putting his hand out for her to shake.
"Nice to meet you too," she spoke shaking his hand.
"Hey guys," Lucas spoke coming over to them.
"Hey man, how's it going?" Nathan commented to him.
"I'm good, how's the leg doing?" he questioned to Nathan seeing he wasn't using a walking stick.
"It's great, I'm back training and in a few weeks I will be able to play again," he explained to him.
"That's great to hear and Haley how is your arm?" Lucas questioned to her.
"Umm it doing okay," she replied wanting to go into too much information.
"Good, well if you're looking for the rest of the girls they are in the kitchen," he commented to her.
"Where is the kitchen?" she asked not knowing her way around.
"I'll show you," Nathan spoke leading her to it.
They walked the short distance down to the kitchen where the found all the girls standing and chatting together with each other.
"Hey ladies," Nathan spoke making their presence known.
"About time you got her bro," Brooke commented to him.
"It wasn't my fault this time," he spoke defending himself.
"Yeah right," Peyton spoke while a little bit of laughter in her voice.
"He actually right, I couldn't decide what to wear," Haley commented sticking up for him.
"Aww sweetheart you didn't need to dress up, it's just dinner," Karen commented to her.
"That's what I said," Nathan spoke getting a glare from Haley.
"I wanted to make a good impression," she spoke defending herself this time.
"You don't need to impression us," Karen spoke reassuring her.
"Yeah true Haley, for the record you look great," Brooke commented to her with a smile.
"Thanks, so do you need any help Karen?" she asked wanting to do her bit.
"No, everything is done. We are just waiting for it to cook. Would you like a drink?" she questioned to her.
"Just a soft drink for me please," she replied to her.
"Sure, is coke okay?" Karen asked her.
"Yep that's fine," she replied smiling.
Haley walked over and started talking to Brooke and Peyton while Karen got her a drink. Karen gave the drink to Lily, so that it would give her a chance to finally spoke to Haley.
"Excuse me," she spoke to Haley.
"Yes," Haley spoke turning to look at the young girl.
"Here is your coke," she spoke handing it to her.
"Thank you, you must be Lily," she commented to her.
"Yes," she spoke smiling at her excitedly.
Well it lovely to meet you and thanks for my soda," Haley commented to her.
"You're welcome," she spoke before running off upstairs to text and calls all her friends.
"Is she okay?" Haley questioned to Karen.
"Yeah she is just excited you're here," Karen explained to her.
"Where is her room?" Haley asked.
"First on the right up the stairs," Karen replied to her.
"Excuse me," Haley spoke leaving the kitchen and heading up to find Lily.
Haley went upstairs to find her and gently knocked on the door waiting for Lilt to answer to her.
"Who is it?" Lily asked softly.
"It's Haley," she replied to her.
Lily got off her bed as fast as she could and opened her door to her, come in," she spoke opening the door for her.
"Thanks," Haley spoke walking into her room looking around.
"I don't mind to be rude, how come you came up here?" Lily questioned to her.
"I thought we could chat away from your mom, so you would be as nervous," Haley explained to her.
"Thanks," she commented to Haley smiling.
"You're welcome. So do you play?" Haley asked noticing the guitar in the corner.
"Sometime, I'm not the best," Lily replied nervously to her.
"I could teach you if you like," Haley suggested to her.
"I would love that," Lily spoke smiling at her.
"Okay, we just have to make sure it's okay with your mom first," Haley explained to her.
"Okay," she agreed with her.
Nathan walked into the kitchen to get drinks for him and the guys. He was a little worried when he didn't see Haley anywhere.
Brooke saw the worried look on his face, "don't worry Nate, she is upstairs with Lily," she commented to him.
"Okay thanks," he replied smiling at her.
"Actually Nathan, could you go tell them dinner is ready," Karen commented to him.
"No problem," he spoke giving the guys there drinks and telling them about dinner. Before going upstairs and getting Haley and Lily.
When he got to the top of the stairs he could her Lily talking," I'm glad you're dating Nathan," she commented to her.
Nathan gently knocked on the door, "umm Karen told me to let you know dinner is ready," he commented to them.
"Thanks, we will be right down," Haley spoke smiling at him.
"Okay," he spoke as he left heading back down the stairs.
"Lily can you keep a secret?" Haley questioned to her.
"Yes," she answered excitedly.
"I think I'm falling in love with Nathan," she spoke smiling softly at her.
"I knew it," she spoke excitedly.
"Well just don't tell any of the others yet," she spoke trusting her.
"I won't, we better get down to dinner before mom coming up looking the both of us," she spoke as they went back downstairs.
The dinner was a successful and everyone had a great night eating and chatting together. Lily loved getting to watch how Nathan and Haley interacted with each other. They didn't stay long after the dinner, as Nathan knew Haley wanted to get her rest for tomorrow.
