Song : Lupe Fiasco - Streets Are On Fire
The night club was full of people. They were dancing. The music was loud. The group had moved three tables to be closer. Peyton and Jake were dancing so were Brooke and Lucas, while Haley and Josh were talking.
« So how many siblings have you? »
Haley sipped a tutti frutti cocktail.
« Three sisters and two brothers : Vivian, Quinn, Kyle, Michael and Taylor. »
« Wow! Your parents are so courageous. »
« They love kids, they love having noises and baby cries all around the house. They also encourage my sisters to have kids. It's a principle at home. Get married and have kids. »
« Do they encourage you? »
« Oh when I'll be married they will, trust me. I've time. »
« How many children do you want? »
« Four maybe five. And you? »
« I never thought about that. I'm a lonely person. I like living day after day you know and discover the world. »
« Did you travel a lot? »
« Yes... Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, France. »
« France?! How is it? Is it so romantic like in movies? »
He smirked. « I'll bring you there one day. »
Haley's smile disappeared.
August 2006.
Nathan and Haley were stretched out onto the grass. He was reading a sport mag and she was reading a book. She was reading in her mind but she read an extract in loud voice.
« He led her against him without disconnect his eyes from hers. All the words he thought, she could read them in his light eyes. His fingers traveled along her blond and curly hair. And they stayed here, looking at each other with love and passion, on this Parisian bridge under the stars, in the middle of the romantic city's lights and the silence of their world. » She paused and looked at him.
« Don't you think it's romantic? »
Nathan didn't move. « You're so 'fleur bleue' » He said.
« Paris, Nathan... The lovers town. »
Nathan put his mag aside and turned to look at her. He smirked.
« I'll bring you there one day. »
Haley smiled, turning red. « And you're so a liar... »
« I'm not! »
Haley put a book aside and laid down on him. « Yes you are! » She began to tickle him. He laughed.
« You really think it's working? You're gonna see! »
He grabbed her waist, tickling her and rolled onto the grass to be over her. She laughed trying to struggle.
« Hales? » Josh called when he noticed she was out of the real world. Haley shook her head.
« Yeah? »
« You're okay? »
« Yes... I just just... »
« Josh! » They both turned to see who was calling him. Emily. Haley sighed. Emily hugged her brother. Haley's heart stopped when she saw Nathan.
« What are you doing here? » Josh asked.
« Lucas invited us... » She sat on the stool so did Nathan. Nathan and Haley didn't exchange a look but she felt his on her and it was disturbing.
« Josh? » Haley asked. « Come with me on the dance floor. »
« I hope you'd say that. » They left together. Nathan noticed Haley's hand taking Josh's.
« I wanna dance, baby. » Emily said.
Nathan shrugged. « Not I... You should go... I'm going at the bar. » He stood up and forced his way to the bar.
« A double scotch, please. » Nathan ordered sitting on the stool. Nathan turned a little to see the dance floor. Emily had joined Lucas and Brooke but she wasn't the one he watched. Her hair were curled, she was wearing a red strapless dress with buttons to pen it on the front top. She had red pumps. Everything fitted her. Especially this dress which underlined her figure. Her eyes were full of sparkles. He watched her, forgetting everything around. She danced using all her charm, on the rhythm of a Lupe Fiasco's song « Streets are on fire ».
Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night.
« She's very sexy.. Do you know her? » The bartender asked serving Nathan's scotch.
« Yes.. she's a friend. »
The bartender laughed.
« A friend? I won't be able to be friend with a girl like her. And you're not watching her like you watch a friend... »
The bartender walked away to serve another customer. Nathan turned and plunged his gaze inside his glass.
After five songs where she non-stopped dancing... against Josh and after ten glasses of whiskey, gin and scotch. Nathan couldn't bear anymore to see her seducing this guy. It was like a fire inside his stomach, he was shaking his leg nervously, trying to control himself. He stood up and moved there. Lucas turned thinking his brother join them.
« Hey bro. What did you do at the bar alone? »
Nathan didn't pay attention to Lucas and carried on his way to the dance floor. He placed himself between Haley and Josh, after having pushed him. Haley looked up at him, first, surprised. Haley shivered for the really first time she saw something in his eyes she had never seen, but she had wished so much... lust... desire... and he trembled... it scared her. Why now? What was wrong with him?
« Follow me. » He grabbed her by her hand. She tried to escape.
« No. »
« It's not a proposition, Haley. » He led her to the exit, Haley tried to resist. Now they were outside.
« Nate! Let me go! You hurt me! » They arrived next to Nathan's car.
« Get into! »
« No! » She looked at him angry.
He opened the door and oblige her to get into the car. He did the same after having closed the door and started.
Haley had her arms crossed on her chest, furious. Nathan parked the car and went out. Haley jumped on herself when he slammed the door to close it. He went to open hers.
« Get out. »
« No. Bring me home, Nate. »
Nathan began to lose his patience. He bent over and took her in his arms in a bridal way. She fidgeted .
« Leave me alone! »
Nathan didn't listen to her, he made his way to the house and came in. He walked to the living room and dropped her into the couch. Their eyes didn't quit anymore. He bent over breaking second after second the gad between them. Their nose touched lightly and his lips began to brush hers. She turned her head, with reluctance because of her anger and she tried to resist but Nathan kissed her on the cheek and then on her chin, she turned again the head but this time to meet his lips. It became more passionate, even wild. His hands traveled along her legs and hers along his back. It began to be hot. They parted when air became a necessity. They looked each other in eyes. Nathan felt his ball inside his stomach and a wave of fear increased within himself. He sat up, his shirt half opened.
« I'm sorry... » He stood up and left the room. Haley stayed on the couch, her dress rumpled and her lips still burning by his kisses.
Nathan went in the kitchen, angry with himself. He sat on the stool and buried his head in his hands. A million questions came through his mind which gave him an headache. How could he do this to her? His heart hurt, his throat burned. Few minutes later, he felt a hand slid along his back. He looked up at her, she moved closer and placed herself in front of him between his legs and she hugged him. He buried his face in her neck smelling her perfume.
They stayed in this position during endless minutes until Haley broke the silence without moving.
« I love you... I love you Nathan and this situation is killing me... I can't bear it anymore... I won't come to the wedding. I'll leave tomorrow. But I want you to know I love you and the most important for me it's you to be happy. If you think she's the good one for you... I would accept it. »
Nathan didn't say anything he just looked at her and she did the same. As she waited for him saying something, he just pushed her closer and their lips connected. Nathan had his hands around her thin waist. Their chest touched when Haley surrounded his neck with her arms, pushing him closer. Their kiss lasted, the air became warmer, heavier... minute by minute. Haley's hands traveled along Nathan's chest undoing the buttons. When his grey blue shirt was undone she caressed the skin of his manly torso, hard but so soft. Still holding her with his left hand, his right hand began to unbutton the top of her dress. Their hands danced touching each other, their tongues danced discovering each other and their bodies danced in a slow and same motion to a world they had always been afraid to go together, but nothing was important now. If things should have ended like this, she would offer him the last dance.
