Chapter 10 Lay Me Down
Haley woke up to the phone ringing. She reached across Nathan to answer it.
"Haley, I need you and Nathan to come over to the café. Mouth is in trouble and needs our help" Skills told her.
"Is he ok?"
"I'm not sure. I hope so."
"Ok let me and Nathan get up and dressed and we'll be on our way"
"Thanks J-Scott"
"Sure Skills. That's what friends are for. Right?"
"Absolutely little girl. See you soon."
"Ok. Bye"
Haley reached over and put her hand on Nathan's shoulder to wake him. Before her attempt Nathan asked her "What's wrong with Mouth"
Haley jumped. "I didn't know you were awake"
"When I felt you reaching across me I thought you wanted to ride the "Stallion" again"
Haley tapped at his arm smiling. "As wonderful as that sounds, we've gotta meet Skills at the café. Mouth is in trouble."
"What kind of trouble?"
"Skills wasn't sure"
"Ok let's get ready and go."
It had been three weeks since Prom and a week since Mouth had taken off with Rachel. Haley was grateful that she was gone. Now she didn't have to look at her scheming ass anymore. There was no telling what kind of trouble she had gotten their buddy Mouth into and Haley was furious with her.
As Nathan and Haley rode to the café Nathan noticed that she was really quite. Finally, he decided to ask.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing I am just wondering what the whore's done now. Wonder what she has gotten Mouth into?"
"With Rachel, there's no telling. Haley you don't have to hate her you know. I don't have nor have I ever had any interested in that skank."
"Thanks Nathan. The issue isn't your interest, though. It's hers. I should have done more than bitch slapped her. I should have beaten her ass."
"Ahhh, no little mama. You had no business getting into a fight then and you certainly don't now. Haley you're eight months pregnant baby. You gotta let that shit go. It's sexy how you want to fight for your man and all but I can't go through worrying unnecessarily. We've had a tough year. I want you safe and healthy and beside me to raise our son. You got that Haley James Scott? Stop being a hell cat."
"I can not believe you just said that to me. You know I'm not a hell cat."
"You have been lately woman. Every time I turn around you're getting all worked up about beating Rachel's ass, and if you're not talking about it you're bitch slapping her." Nathan had to laugh. He would have never thought that Haley would go to Rachel's ass like that. From what Nathan had bee told she bruised the girl's cheek by slapping her. Rachel better be glad that Haley didn't punch her. She would have broken something.
"Well I'm tired of tramps like that trying to shove me to the side to get to you. Looks like I am going to have to toughen up Scott, especially since you won't stop them."
"What? Haley they know I am married. If I don't show interest, that should be enough. Would you rather I embarrass them or piss them off?"
"Hell yes. Then I would know you didn't want them."
"Alright that's what I will do from this day forward. Seriously Hales, you know that I don't want any other girl don't you? I mean that's why I asked you to marry me. I knew that I wanted to spend my life with you."
"You can be really charming, you know that?"
"You haven't even seen my A-game"
"So I've heard." She smiled. It was an ongoing game with them. They had used those lines to each other so many times since the hurricane last fall.
When Nathan and Haley reached the café they got out of the car and made their way to the door. Nathan opened it for his wife and she walked in. They saw Lucas and Skills sitting at a table near the door.
"Hey" Haley greeted.
"Hey, Skills said Mouth was in trouble."
"Yeah, he sent this" Skills handed the cell phone with the text message to Nathan.
Honey Grove TX. Please come. Need ass was on the screen. Haley leaned over and read it along with Nathan.
"Need ass?" Nathan chuckled.
"Well we're thinking its assistance." Lucas looked at his brother with a wary smile.
"I'm going to find Honey Grove online" Haley told the guys as she moved over to the computer.
As Nathan sat down Brooke and Peyton came in the door. "Hey how are they doing since the attack?"
"Some days are better than others. But it gets the worst at night."
"I'm just thankful that Haley wasn't there any longer than she was. The worst had happened before she arrived. That would have put her in labor for sure."
"Yeah I know. I'm glad she wasn't there too."
Brooke and Peyton walked up to the group and Brooke asked, "Hey guys what's going on? Is Mouth ok?"
"It doesn't sound like it." Lucas answered and placed his arm around Peyton's waist.
Skills handed Peyton the cell phone. "Honey Grove TX Please come"
Brooke grabbed the phone "Need ass?" she asked after reading along with Peyton.
"I don't get it he left with Rachel. Why would he need ass?"
"ASSISTANCE" Nathan, Lucas and Skills all answered together.
"Oh well if Mouth needs help then one of us should go down to Honey Grove" Peyton said.
"I think maybe we should all go. It's like a ninety miles from Dallas which is a twenty hour car ride." Haley said after getting directions online.
"Hales, I love you for caring but you're pregnant and we've got finals." Nathan told his wife.
"Come on we're all graduating soon. It could be like a last hurrah. I mean hopefully Mouth is ok and it turns into a really great road trip, but if not at least there's safety in numbers right?"
"Hales you do not need to be traveling on twenty hour car rides in your condition?"
"My condition? Damn Nathan you make it sound like I am about to die."
"Hales, do I need to remind you that you nearly did die? I nearly lost you and our son. The Dr. mentioned that you didn't need to do a lot of traveling last time we were there."
"Come on. Nathan we'll take plenty of rest stops. I promise we'll take care of Haley." Peyton told him.
"Alright but if I hear any of you bitching about her needing to stop it's on. AND she's not driving. Do you understand me? I will not let you upset her."
"Fine" The group stated in unison.
The group talked about anything and everything on the way to Honey Grove. Lucas and Peyton sat in the back of the Denali they were driving. Nathan and Haley sat in the middle seat since it was easier for Haley to get in and out of. Brooke was driving with Skills riding shotgun.
They had a blast as they traveled down the interstate. It had finally had gotten dark and one by one they all fell asleep. Haley had her head on Nathan's shoulder when Lucas told his brother. "Ok little bro it's your turn to drive." He pulled off to on the side of the road.
"Ok. Let me resituated Haley."
"She can sleep on my shoulder." Lucas told him.
Brooke woke up and told the brothers that she was after skills so, she would move up beside Haley and Lucas could get in back with Peyton.
When everyone was seated they took off again. After four hours, Nathan pulled over to the side of the road. "Skills it's your turn to drive man."
"Ok. Nathan got out and opened the back door on the driver's side and nudged Brooke. She looked at him confused.
"Ok Brooke, get in the front passenger seat. You're next after Skills and I want to cuddle with my wife."
"Damn Scott. I wish you could be rammed up her ass a little more"
"So do I. Brooke.. You have no idea."
"Ewe! Ok Nathan I did not need to hear that." Lucas called out from the backseat.
Nathan smirked at his brother wrapped his arm around his sleeping wife and gently pulled her over to rest against his chest. She would never know how much he loved holding her. He felt incomplete unless Haley was in his arms.
Skills drove for about an hour and woke Brooke up. "Yo. B Davis. Your turn to drive baby."
"Already?"
"Yep. Come on switch places with me."
Brooke drug herself out of the passenger side and over to the driver's side. She crawled in and put the Denali in gear and they were off again.
After a little while the SUV began to sputter. This woke everybody up including Haley.
She lifted her head from Nathan's chest and looked up to the front seat.
"What's going on up there?"
"I don't know" Brooke answered honestly.
"How long's that light on the dash been on?" Lucas questioned.
"Just a little while. But it was a pretty color and I kind of liked it. Nathan scoffed.
"Bad call?"
"Bad call Brooke? Did you read it? Yes it was a fucking bad call." Nathan informed her.
Brooke pulled the Denali over when it finally quit running. "Bad Call"
The group got out and Lucas got under the hood. Maybe he could figure out what was wrong with the SUV so they could move on. After several minutes he told Nathan,
"I don't know. It's all electronic, I can't figure it out. Sorry. But I do know that we should've stuck to the interstate and not taken the back roads just so Haley could see this sandwich shaped like Elvis."
"Hey" Haley defended.
Nathan glared at his brother and was about to say something when Peyton spoke up. "Ok, hold on a second. I too wanted to see the Elvis sandwich. I'm pretty sure we all did."
"Thank you Peyton" Haley pouted.
"And admit it Lucas you wanted to see the Elvis sandwich too."
"Ok fine I wanted to see the Elvis sandwich. But, that doesn't change the fact that we haven't seen a single car pass by on this road since we stopped."
Headlights shine on the group from a distance.
"Um" Brooke began.
"Until now." Lucas corrected himself.
"It's a bus" Nathan observed.
"That's a tour bus" Brooke said excitedly
"Please be the Foo Fighters" Peyton bounced up and down.
"Please be Kanye" Skills threw in.
Suddenly the bus stopped and Chris Keller got off. "Well, Well.."
"Stupid Elvis sandwich." Haley was furious with herself.
Nathan put his arm around her and pulled her to him. "It'll be ok Hales. Don't worry"
They all got a ride with Chris on the bus. Haley and Nathan were sitting on what resembled a couch. Peyton and Lucas were sitting on the other side of the bus on one that looked just like it. Skills and Brooke were sitting at a table further down and Chris was sitting up in a recliner looking piece of furniture.
When Nathan saw him looking at Haley he tensed beside her. She rubbed his arm lightly. Then he looked at Brooke. "Let's see, slept with you" Moving his eyes to Haley "Kissed you" Rolling his eyes over to Peyton "Got slapped by you. Just like any other night on Chris Keller's tour bus. All of the Tree Hill gang just looked at Chris. He was such an idiot sometimes.
"You better watch it Keller!" Nathan scolded.
Lucas was on his cell when he finished he closed it up with a snap." Ok they can tow the car to Honey Grove but we're on our own."
"Honey Grove? We're heading right through there. You guys should just crash with me. Haley can sleep in my bed. Although you're looking a little plump Hales."
"I'm pregnant you idiot"
"Oh. Dude totally not mine" Chris said with his hands in the air in surrender.
With that Nathan jumped up grabbed Chris by his collar and shoved him up into the side of the bus. "Yeah. I know it's not yours. That's my baby you stupid son of a bitch. My wife wouldn't wipe her feet on your sorry ass if you were a door mat. As far as the bed, thanks we'll take it." Nathan looked over to Haley and stuck out his hand. She took it and he and Haley moved to the back of the bus. When he got her in back, he pulled her to him. "I'm sorry. That ass just gets to me"
"I know Nathan. It's ok. Let's just lay down here together. Oh by the way, do you see a trash can?"
"Trash can? For what?"
"After that display by Chris I think I'm going to be sick." They both began laughing. They rested on top of Chris's comforter.
By day break they had reached Honey Grove. When they arrived on main street, the bus pulled over. "Well this is it, Honey Grove the sweetest town in Texas. That's because of the honey part, you get it?" Keller announced.
"Now we just gotta find Mouth." Lucas stated.
"Well I guess I would just walk up to the first cop I see if I were you guys." Keller chuckled.
"Right. We just walk up to a cop and say have you seen our friend Mouth?" Skills couldn't believe this fool.
"Why not? It's a small town. Excuse me officer."
"Keller" Skills warned.
"Top of the morning to you officer Friendly."
"Shut up Keller" Skills was trying to pull him back. "Excuse me sir we're looking for a friend of ours. Spiked Hair, big lips goofy grin."
"Marvin Mc Fadden" the officer said.
"Damn it our guys name is Mouth." The whole group just looked at Chris. Could he get any dumber? No probably not. Once and idiot, always an idiot.
While Lucas, Peyton and Brooke went in to get Mouth out of jail, Nathan, Haley and Skills waited outside.
"Baby, are you ok?" Haley asked Nathan.
"Yeah. I just don't enjoy the Keller time" he smiled.
"Me either." Haley laughed.
"Hales, I know that you didn't leave me to be with him. There is no way you wanted that over me."
"You're right I didn't, but I sure hope that you haven't just realized that."
"No, last night and this morning only made it ring home louder." Nathan grinned.
When the rest of the friends came out, Nathan and Haley were in the middle of a full blown make out session.
"Ok guys. Could you stop that? You're in the middle of the street."
Nathan just looked up and gave his brother the notorious smirk. "Big Brother, too much of a good thing will never be enough"
"Yeah, a good thing" Haley said looking up at her husband.
"Geez. Why do I hang around you too?"
"Cause their Naley" Brooke spoke up. The whole group began laughing then.
"Ok the car won't be ready until tomorrow. So we're stuck here tonight. I suggest we find a hotel get a room and chill until tomorrow morning."
"There has to be something fun to do here." Brooke suggested.
"Like what?" Skills asked. "Look at this place"
"We'll go to Prom" Peyton said as she looked up at the sign displaying community events.
"What?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah, Honey Grove's prom is tonight and we should go. Our prom sucked due to the psycho stalker that we dealt with."
"But where are we going to get dresses and tuxes this late?" Brooke asked.
They looked around and found a consignment shop. "We go old school" Skills said and they rushed to the shop to find something to wear.
When Nathan and Haley got in to their room he insisted that she lay down and rest. After the twenty six hour journey here and the little naps she had on the way, Nathan was beginning to see just how exhausted his wife really was. After some slick talk on his part Haley finally laid down with Nathan and within minutes they were fast asleep.
Nathan woke up to the pounding on the door. He got up to see who was there. Lucas stepped in and asked "Do you guys want to get something to eat before we go over to the high school gym?"
He looked over at Haley. She was resting so peacefully. There was no way in hell he would wake her up. "No" Nathan whispered. "I want her to sleep a little longer. Come by after you've eaten and we'll decide from there.
Lucas nodded. If anyone had told him that Nathan Scott would ever protect Haley James the way he did he would have laughed in their face. Lucas had never seen anyone love the way Nathan and Haley did. They had something that was so rare.
Haley's eyes fluttered open. "What time is it?" She looked over at Nathan and gave him the sweetest sleepy smile she could manage.
"5:28. Hales, we don't have to go to this thing tonight if you don't want to."
"I want to baby. We didn't get to dance at our prom."
"Ok if you're sure. Haley if you get tired I want you to promise me we'll come back right then so you can rest."
"Hey. What's going on with you?"
"I had the nightmare again I guess."
"Nathan, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."
Nathan gazed into Haley's eyes. God he loved her. How did he ever live and breathe before Haley?
"Let's get ready and go to prom Mr. Scott"
"You wish is my command Mrs. Scott." Haley went to the bathroom to dress and get ready to go while Nathan got ready in their room by the beds.
After her shower and completing her make up and dressing, Haley stepped out of the bathroom and opened her coat for her husband to inspect her outfit.
Nathan's mouth went dry. "Anyone ever tell you, you're kind of pretty Haley James Scott?"
"Chris Keller. Does he count?"
"AAAAA. No, he damn sure doesn't. Not now not ever.
Haley smiled at her husband. God! She loved him.
"You know what's great about being a married couple going to prom?"
"What?"
"You get to use the hotel room before the dance."
"Mmmmm"
Nathan leaned down and kissed his wife full on the lips. He brought his hands up and placed each one along her jaw bones so his thumbs could caress her cheeks.
He took Haley's hand in his and moved them over to one of the beds. Slowly he reached under the hem of his wife's short white dress and found her panties. He hooked a thumb on each side and slowly slid them down Haley's silky legs. She reached and undid the button on his slacks and then unzipped them. Once she got them pushed down to his knees Nathan stepped out of the slacks and boxers leaving them on the floor. He picked Haley up and gently laid her back on the bed while pushing her dress up to her waist.
Nathan worked his way up and down Haley's neck with hot open mouthed kisses.
"Nathan!" she moaned.
Nathan looked back at his blonde headed wife and smiled. God she was so beautiful. He would never tire of looking at Haley. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. While continuing to work his magic on Haley's neck Nathan reached to the front of the dress. He placed his hand in the middle of the V neck that dipped really low and pushed one side over to reveal a breast. When he heard Haley gasp he began his descent from her neck and down to the breast he had just exposed. When he placed his mouth over the puffy nipple he gently began to nibble. "Oh God Nathan." He took his hand and moved it back under the hem of her dress finding her dewy wet center. As he slid his finger across the warm wet lower folds. He them moaned himself. He wanted, no he needed to be inside of her.
Haley finally couldn't stand it anymore. "Nathan, please"
"Please what baby? Tell me what you want"
"I want I want, No I need"
"What baby what do you need?"
"Please Nathan. Take me now"
Nathan moved and placed his hand on his wife's shoulder gently tugging to get her to turn over. Before either of them knew it Haley was up on the bed on her hands and knees. The missionary position had long since been uncomfortable for her since she was rounding out with their baby.
Nathan moved in behind Haley and placed his throbbing erection at her center. Haley pushed against him just a little. That was nearly his undoing. He pushed forward and buried himself inside of her. This caused both of them to moan loudly in pleasure. After a couple of minutes Nathan placed his hands on Haley's shoulders gently tugging her back so that her back was pressed to his chest and she was basically sitting in his lap. She felt him slid even deeper into her. Moaning she met him thrust for thrust. He moved his hands around to palm both of her breasts.
Nathan knew he was close. God his girl was so hot. She was tight wet and all for him. Just knowing that he was inside of her and he was the only one who had been or would ever be was a total aphrodisiac. After several minutes Haley leaned forward to move back to her hands and knees. Nathan knew she was close. As he leaned over his wife's bare back, he reached around and brought his thumb and index finger to her clit. Pinching and rubbing to keep time with their thrusts. As he felt her orgasm take her, he leaned over and swirled his tongue around her tattoo. Never would he look at it and not get hard. It had been a symbol of Haley's love for him. That within itself was enough to ignite a huge inferno in his veins. As Nathan felt Haley's inner muscles gripping and pulling on him. It was soon that he fell over the edge right behind her. Leaning over her back he shot load and load of his seed deep inside of her.
Once they were done he pulled Haley back to sit on his lap again. It had been along time since he had allowed himself to just shrink back out of her. He knew she loved that and so did he. The longer he could remain inside the happier he was during their love making.
Haley reached around and placed her arm around her husband's neck. "Oh baby. That was so wonderful."
"Think so Mrs. Scott?"
"I know so Mr. Scott"
It wasn't long before a knock came at their door. Thankfully Nathan and Haley had repaired their appearances and redressed. Nathan walked over to open the door and saw his brother standing there.
"You two ready to do this? I can't believe we are actually going to crash a prom."
"Oh Luke.. It'll be ok. Why shouldn't we enjoy a prom? We didn't get to enjoy ours."
"True little SIL so true."
And enjoy the prom they did. Before they knew it they were back at the motel morning had come, the car was fixed and it was time to go back home to the ONE, the ONLY, Tree Hill North Carolina.
