AN – Hey! Aw thanks again for the reviews of the last chapter, you guys all do really say the most amazing things and I'm so glad that you guys are all happy now that Nathan and Haley have sorted through some of their issues and finally talked rationally with each other! I know that it took rather a long time for them to get to this point! As I said before, I love writing characters where they have some growing and learning to do… especially when it comes to love, which is definitely true for Nathan in this story given that he has never really had a girlfriend before. That's definitely not to say that now that they have talked they aren't going to face more problems, there's plenty more drama to come… but I'm not going to give anymore away on the plot for this story, you'll all have to keep reading!
And on a completely different note, my fiancé and I have just put up our Christmas tree today so I'm feeling all festive! I love this time of year!
Anyway, on with the story, hope you all like this chapter (eek 10 already – that's crazy!)! x
Chapter Ten
Haley rolled over in her king size bed, bringing the covers up and tucking them further around and underneath her, trying to stay warm and comfortable for as long as she could. She rolled back around to where she had been lying originally, trying to get back to the warm spot she had just left, her mind waking up ever so slowly but she wasn't ready to open her eyes yet, she was still far too tired. She groaned to herself when she realised she wasn't going to get anymore sleep and her mind soon woke up fully. She suddenly jolted up in bed, pulled the covers off her and glanced at the clock. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and best of all, it was finally Saturday. The week had dragged and dragged since she had last seen Nathan, she had literally been counting down the days, hours and minutes until she could see him for their date tonight. They had been in touch via text during the week, but they still hadn't finalised any of their plans for tonight yet and Haley was excited as to what he had planned for them, in fact excited was probably and understatement, she was sure she was going to explode! She jumped out of bed, knowing that she was going to have to keep herself busy today otherwise the day would drag like anything, so she decided to go for a run, and begun to search the depths of her closet for her running clothes, finding her shorts and sports top right in the corner underneath a pile of jeans, she definitely had a ton of energy she needed to work off!
Having been on a run for five miles, Haley opened her front door and felt like dying on her hallway carpet, she was totally worn out! She managed to haul herself upstairs, not quite sure where the burst of energy to do that had come from, and peeled her shorts and sports top off and flung them in her washing basket, then walked into her en-suite and turned her shower on, stepping under the scorching hot water, letting the water soothe her now aching muscles after the ridiculously long run she had just been on.
After standing under the shower for about half an hour, relaxing and enjoying the massage the shower head was giving her back, and having used all the available hot water, Haley stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself, then walked into her closet, opening her drawers searching for some underwear. She settled for a matching satin turquoise set, and then proceeded to find her teal coloured strappy top she could wear during the day which matched the bra she currently had on, only to be interrupted by her phone ringing. She ran downstairs where she had left her phone on charge while she had been out running and picked it up, "Hello." She said while trying to get her breath back.
"Hey Hales, it's me. Are you okay you sound kind of out of breath?" Nathan asked, wondering why she was panting down the phone at him.
Haley smiled at the sound of his voice, she couldn't help it, whenever he spoke with her she had a grin on her like a Cheshire cat. "I'm fine Nathan, just got out of the shower and had to run downstairs to catch the phone!" Haley explained the reason why she was out of breath.
"The shower huh?" Nathan said sexily, getting more than a little excited. "So what are you wearing now then?"
Haley could already feel herself blushing and she hadn't even responded to his question yet! She debated lying to him, telling him that she was already fully dressed, but what where would be the fun in that?! "Underwear." She replied in a tone that matched Nathan's equally as she fiddled nervously with her hair and chewed down on her lip, she wasn't usually this forward on the phone.
Nathan groaned down the phone, the image of Haley dressed in that baby pink bra she had been wearing last week came flashing through his mind. "Is it the baby pink lacy one?" He asked huskily.
Haley giggled to herself, knowing fore well which one he was thinking about. "No actually, it's a turquoise satin set."
"Sounds very, very sexy." Nathan closed his eyes, the image of Haley up against the wall with her legs wrapped around him was flashing through his mind, only he substituted the baby pink bra she had been wearing that day for the satin turquoise one she had just told him about. Boy did she look hot in his head right now!
Haley just laughed nervously at him, unsure of what to do now, or how to respond to what he had just said.
Nathan shook himself from his naughty thoughts, pleased that he would be able to see her tonight at least, even if he didn't get the chance to see her underwear! "So tonight…" Nathan started.
"Yep, tonight!" Haley said, unable to control the giddiness in her voice. God she was going to have to calm down, at this rate she really was going to burst and then there would be nothing left of her by the time the evening came!
"What did you want to do? I haven't booked anything cos I wanted to talk to you first, I wasn't sure if you wanted to go to a restaurant or not." Nathan asked.
"Well we could do, if you know any restaurants in New York that wouldn't be crowded with paparazzi once we had both walked in?" Haley asked, knowing fore well that there was no chance in hell of that happening. "I haven't told my manager about us yet, so I'm not sure if going to a restaurant is such a good idea."
"Yeah I haven't told mine yet either." Nathan responded while raking his brain for something else they could do where they wouldn't be hounded by the press. "Okay how about this, why don't you come over to my place at say eight and we'll eat dinner here?"
"That sounds good!" Haley responded, pleased that Nathan seemed to understand the whole press thing, America's Pop Princess and the NBA Superstar on a date would make a lot of magazines a lot of money, and after the picture the press already had of them together at the first basketball game she had been too, Haley didn't want to add any more fuel to the fire, not yet at least. She just wanted to enjoy being with Nathan for a while before the world got their claws into their relationship.
"Good, so I shall see you then!"
"Okay, bye Nathan."
"See you tonight Hales."
Haley hung up her phone and jumped in the air about ten times clapping her hands together. Once satisfied that she had released yet more energy that had seemed to build so easily inside of her, she ran back upstairs to her wardrobe, wanting to pick out what she was going to wear tonight now, knowing that if she didn't do it now, she would only spend hours later chopping and changing outfits.
Haley walked through her rails and rails of clothes, not finding anything that she wanted to wear at all for tonight. She didn't even know what she should wear?! Should she wear a fancy dress or something similar that she would have worn had they been going out to a nice restaurant? But this was just dinner at his house, so surely something more casual would be more appropriate? But this was their first official date, she wanted to look nice! Haley sighed to herself in frustration, knowing that she needed to go shopping to buy something, but she wanted some company and advice, so pulled out her phone and scrolled down to Brooke.
"Haley!" Brooke said as she answered the phone.
"Hey Brooke. I need your help, it's a clothes crisis." Haley said.
"Ooh, I am so good in a clothes crisis, what's up?"
"Well, I'm going around to Nathan's tonight for dinner and I have no clothes!" Haley whined.
"Seriously, you're going to Nathan's for dinner?! Why wouldn't you just go out to a restaurant?" Brooke enquired.
"Cos we don't want the whole world knowing about us yet and you know the minute the press gets wind that Nathan and I are on a date together, wherever we are will be swamped with photographers. So you up for the shopping trip?" Haley explained.
"Sure am."
"Okay, I'll get a car to come to mine and pick you up on the way in, say in about half an hour?"
"Sounds good Haley!"
"Okay, see you in a bit." Haley said as she hung up the phone and pulled some jeans and her teal coloured top on her. Even the thought of trying on a gazillion different items of clothing couldn't wipe that grin off her face!
~*~
Nathan hung up the phone an instantly regretted the words that had just spewed out of his mouth. He didn't have a clue how to cook and he had just said that he and Haley would have dinner at his place, which inevitably meant that some sort of cooking was going to be involved. Nathan could barely fry an egg. He contemplated getting a takeout from somewhere and claiming that he had cooked it all himself, but decided against it. If he was going to do things properly with Haley like he wanted to, then he would cook for her, he wasn't going to cheat with a takeout, even if it was probably in her best interests that he went with that option, she would probably end up being sick or something after eating anything he had tried to cook!
He grabbed his car keys and headed to the supermarket, wanting to sort out what he was supposedly going to cook early so he gave himself enough time to get it right.
He pulled into the car park of the local supermarket and put on his cap, not really wanting to be recognised today, he just wanted to go in and get out as quickly as possible.
He walked straight to the book aisle and searched the recipe books for something that looked relatively simply to make but looked good, given that he had no cooking books in his house at all. He decided to make a salad for starters, a chicken dish for the main course and then he'd buy a dessert, because looking at the recipe book, all the cakes looked far too complicated and also took far too much time to make.
He pushed his trolley along the aisles, leaving the recipe book open on the pages that showed what he was going to cook tonight, making sure he got all the ingredients he needed, picked up a couple of bottles of wine and headed to the checkouts, pleased that he hadn't been stopped and asked for any autographs or pictures, he really wasn't in the mood today, he was far too anxious about this evening to have to worry about any fans.
He paid for the shopping and headed out to his car, feeling rather pleased with himself that he had managed to get all the shopping done with no major problems. He pulled his phone out and sent Haley a text, letting her know that he was thinking of her and told her how much he was looking forward to seeing her later, before speeding away in his car, heading home.
~*~
Haley and Brooke stepped out of the car onto Fifth Avenue getting ready to begin the search for the perfect outfit for Haley to wear tonight. She was still confused as hell as to how she should dress. "So what do you think I should be wearing tonight then?" She asked Brooke, wanting her advice on her dilemma.
"I say you wear the kind of thing you would wear if you were going out to a restaurant, better to be over dressed than under dressed, and plus, I so want to have you trying on a load of gorgeous dresses!" Brooke responded as they walked towards what would no doubt be the first of many shops they would be going into this morning.
There were photographers already lining the street, waiting for the celebrities to show. The flashing started as Haley and Brooke walked down the street, literally blinding both of them. Haley kept her head down and walked into the first shop, shaking her head at the photographers. What the hell was so interesting about her going shopping for crying out loud?! Every normal person had to do it too!
After walking into the sixth shop, Haley was beginning to get bored of trying on dresses. She wasn't even sure if she should be wearing a dress tonight, all the ones Brooke was picking out for her were way too dressy for a dinner. Haley decided to put her foot down when Brooke handed her yet another floor length dress for her to try on. "Brooke, I really think this is way too much for a dinner at a house."
Brooke screwed her face up in confusion. "But it's gorgeous!"
"I know, I just don't think its right for tonight. What about some shorter length dresses?" Haley suggested to Brooke.
"Okay, you wait in the changing room and I'll go and pick a couple of short length dresses." Brooke said as she wandered out of the changing area towards the front of the shop again, hunting through the rails of clothes.
Haley sat down on the seat in the changing area, wondering what type of dress Brooke was picking out for her now, hoping that it was something more appropriate for tonight. She was getting a tad bored now; she just wanted to find something so she could leave!
Five minutes later Brooke rushed back into the changing room with two dresses. "Okay, I already know that this dress is the one but I got this other one just in case you didn't like it." Brooke handed the two dresses to Haley. "Go on, try them on, but try this one on first!" She said while holding out the dress she had said was 'the one' for Haley, as she closed the curtain and waited outside for Haley to change into the dress she had chosen for her.
Haley put the dress on and walked out of her cubicle, hearing Brooke gasp at her.
"Oh Haley, its perfect!" Brooke said as she turned Haley towards the mirror so she could see for herself.
Haley studied herself in the mirror. She had to hand it to Brooke, the dress was gorgeous. It was midnight blue and silky, clinging to her in all the right places, with a black satin belt that tied in a bow around the waist, showing enough cleavage to be tasteful and show off her curves. Haley turned around, looking at her back. "It's nice Brooke, but I couldn't wear a bra with it, cos it goes down so far at the back and you can see my underwear lines!"
"Well just don't wear any underwear then Haley!" Brooke said to her as if it was such an obvious suggestion. "There is no way you aren't getting this dress, it looks amazing on you."
Haley sighed. There was no way she wasn't going to wear any underwear, no bra she could deal with, but no panties, she would never leave the house like that! She was sure she had some of those invisible panties somewhere in a drawer at home which would hopefully do the trick. "Okay I'll get it." She smiled at herself in the mirror again, flattening out the dress. It really was a beautiful dress and even she had to admit, she looked good in it too!
"Nathan is going to go crazy when he sees you in it! I bet he won't be able to keep his hands off you!" Brooke said as she winked at Haley.
Haley laughed and blushed at Brooke's insinuations, knowing that his hands probably weren't going to be doing any wandering tonight, not after what he had said to her the last time they had met.
"You're so cute the way you blush all the time Haley! So how is the sex?" Brooke asked, never being one to beat around the bush.
Haley looked down at the floor. "We're taking it slow."
Brooke scoffed. "Yeah right, Nathan Scott only has one speed Haley! How long have you know him now, a couple of months right and especially after what happened between you two last week, you must have had sex by now?! You were half way there the last time we met up, so I'm guessing that you've gone the whole way now."
"Honestly Brooke we haven't had sex! He wanted to take it slow; he said the most amazing things to me too when he told me that." Haley gushed, remembering what he had said to her.
Brooke laughed. "Nathan said he wanted to take it slow?! Yeah right, and I just saw a pig flying past the window!"
Haley shook her head at Brooke as she made her way to the cash register to pay for the dress. Nothing anybody could say at the moment would change her mind about Nathan, he was perfect and obviously respected her a lot, which she more than appreciated. She reached into her bag, pulling out her phone with her purse, seeing that she had a text from Nathan. She smiled as she read the message; he really was so sweet, saying how he was looking forward to seeing her later. She messaged him back, saying that she too couldn't wait to see him, and she really couldn't!
~*~
Nathan found himself on his hands and knees searching through all his cupboards in the kitchen of his house. He could have sworn he had bought a big pan when he had first moved into this house; he just now had no idea where the hell he had put the damn thing. This was the last cupboard he had left to look in, having already rooted through the rest. This whole dinner thing was turning into a complete disaster, especially as he couldn't even find the damn pot he needed, which only added to the pressure he was already feeling since he had to still cook the whole stupid thing yet! He reached his long arm into the back of the cupboard and pulled out what he hoped would be the pan that he was looking for, sighing in relief when he saw that it was.
He got up from the floor, pan in hand and looked around the kitchen, it literally looked like a bomb had hit it! He sighed as he left the pan on the stove and shoved everything he had taken out of the cupboards back in. Once satisfied that the kitchen looked reasonably tidy, he glanced at the clock and decided he should make a start on this dinner business.
He opened up the recipe book and made a start on the chicken. He did as the recipe said and heated up the pan before placing the chicken inside. The recipe book said it should take ten to fifteen minutes to cook, so he decided to leave it for ten minutes, go and watch some basketball on the TV and come back to check on it.
Ten minutes later, the kitchen was full of smoke. SHIT. He walked in, coughing as he waded his way through the smoke and turned the heat off, grabbing the smoking pan and taking it off the hob. He picked up the pan and turned the chicken over in the pan, seeing that it was completely black on the underside. "What the fuck!?" He shouted out as he threw the pan back down, he'd not even been gone for the full time the stupid recipe book had said the chicken needed! He glanced back at the recipe book, wondering what the hell had gone wrong, when he read the line underneath the one which stated the chicken needed ten to fifteen minutes, turn the chicken halfway through cooking, the book glared at him. Nathan shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. This was not going well. He sighed as he picked up his phone and scrolled to her number.
"Hello."
"Brooke, it's me. I need your help."
Brooke laughed. "Let me guess, the cooking isn't going too well?"
"How did you know I was cooking?" Nathan asked, incredibly confused as to how Brooke knew what he was doing.
"Haley told me all about your date when we went shopping earlier. Truth be told, I'm surprised you didn't call me earlier!"
"Well can you help?" Nathan asked her desperately.
"Sure, I'll be over in ten minutes."
"Thank you so much! Oh and Brooke, can you bring me two chicken breasts with you please?" Nathan asked. "I kind of burnt the ones I had bought."
Brooke laughed at him. "Sure."
~*~
Haley had just stepped out of her bath and wrapped a towel around herself as she blew out the candles she had placed around the bathroom. She was totally relaxed from the bath but was still so giddy about tonight. She brushed her teeth and stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, laughing at the grin that seemed to be permanently etched on her face whenever she thought of Nathan.
She wandered out of the en-suite to her walk-in wardrobe, searching through the drawers for those damn invisible panties she had bought a couple of years ago. She took the whole drawer out and placed it on top the chair, giving her better access to search for them. She eventually found them and placed them on herself, then walked up to the gorgeous dress she had just bought which was hanging proudly over the door. She placed it over her head and wrapped the bow around her, before walking up to the full length mirror, turning around to check that no underwear lines could be seen through the dress.
She sighed to herself. So much for being invisible! You could still see the stupid line through the dress, which was totally unflattering. She shook her head as she pulled the not-so-invisible panties down and stepped out of them, just to see what the dress looked like with no visible lines. She turned around and looked at her ass, and saw that the dress looked so much better without those ugly lines showing. She looked down at the knickers which were piled in a heap on the floor, and then glanced back at her ass in the mirror, her reflection mocking her, daring her to leave the panties off. She chewed on her lip and she whirled around, glaring at herself in the mirror. "Fine. You win!" She shouted to her reflection as she walked over to her shoe rack and pulled out a pair of shoes which matched the colour of her dress, not believing that she was daring to leave the house commando style!
She walked over to her dressing table and started putting on her make up and curled her hair into waves, letting her honey-blonde locks fall loosely down past her shoulders and picked out some jewellery to wear. Once she was satisfied with her appearance, she skipped downstairs waiting for the car to arrive to take her to Nathan's.
~*~
"Nathan! Keep your grubby hands off this please!" Brooke admonished him as she slapped his hand away from the pan she was cooking in. "If you keep picking you won't eat anything when Haley gets here."
"I know but it's really good!" Nathan mumbled with his mouth full of food.
"Well good, I'm glad you like it, but stop!"
"Fine!" Nathan huffed as he sat down on one of his stools as he watched Brooke whizz around the kitchen, and started playing with his hands, as he glanced at the clock, seeing that Haley would be here in half an hour.
"You're nervous!" Brooke cooed as she threw a look at Nathan over her shoulder from where she was standing at the stove.
"No I'm not." Nathan threw back at Brooke, trying more than anything to convince himself of the fact that he wasn't nervous, trying to still those butterflies that were pounding away in his stomach.
"Yes you are!" Brooke smiled at him. "I've never seen you like this before, it's cute! You really like her, huh?"
Nathan was still fiddling with his hands. "Yeah I do." He confessed honestly.
"I'm glad you do, Haley is a lovely person." Brooke said as she turned around to face Nathan.
"She is, you know, I've never felt like this about anyone before. All I want to do is make her happy and be with her as much as I can." Nathan admitted quietly, as he lifted his head and looked at Brooke, blushing ever so slightly at his admission.
Brooke smiled warmly at him. "Well from what she has told me, you do make her happy."
Nathan's smile grew wider, pleased that Brooke had told him that, it was good to know that he was doing this right, all this dating malarkey was foreign to him. He started daydreaming about Haley, her smile, her eyes, that fantastic body. He was totally enchanted by her.
"Come on superstar, you've only got twenty minutes to get ready before Haley gets here, so get a move on!" Brook shooed him up off the stool and out of the kitchen.
Nathan peeked over her shoulder at all the pots and pans that were on the stove, not really wanting to leave the food unattended. "Don't burn the food please Brooke, I want this evening to be perfect."
Brooke smiled at him and shook her head as she rolled her eyes. "GO!" She said as she shut the kitchen door in his face, he was totally smitten with Haley!
~*~
Nathan rushed down the stairs when he saw that he only had five minutes to get the table ready. He grabbed the candles he had picked up from the supermarket earlier and placed them in the centre of the table, lighting them with some matches, along with the flowers he had picked up too and raced into the kitchen. "How's it going Brooke?" He asked as he rushed to the drawer which housed the cutlery.
"Fine, it's all good to go."
"Good." Nathan said as he picked out the cutlery he needed, grabbed some napkins and rushed back into the dining room, placing them on the table before running back into the kitchen.
"I've written down how long you need to reheat the food for when you decided to eat okay, just follow the instructions, it will only need a minute or two." Brooke instructed Nathan as she grabbed her bag and car keys.
"Okay, thanks so much for doing this for me Brooke."
"No problem." Brooke smiled at him. "Just calm down Nathan, she really likes you, you know, there's no need to be so nervous!"
Nathan returned Brooke's smile as he watched her walk out of his house, leaving him alone. He walked over to the instructions she had left and read them. All he had to do was put the heat on and stir, he could do that surely without ruining the whole dinner.
He heard the doorbell ring and his heart rate started to quicken and his palms begun to sweat. He took a deep breath as he walked out of the kitchen towards the front door, the anticipation of seeing her again increasing with every step he took. He ran his hands along his jeans and opened up the door, to find Haley standing in front of him, looking absolutely stunning, she was so beautiful she took his breath away. He found his eyes running the entire length of her body, the dress she had on accentuated every curve of her body, her breasts looked fantastic, as did her legs.
Haley watched as his eyes ran up and down her body, feeling the heat from his gaze on every inch of her. She found her own eyes doing the same, running down his body. He was dressed in a black shirt and jeans and looked so sexy. She found his eyes and smiled.
"You look amazing Hales." Nathan said, eventually filling the silence that had fallen on the both of them.
"Thank you, so do you." Haley returned the compliment and stepped inside his house as Nathan closed the door behind her.
He walked into the lounge and Haley followed, and she sat herself down next to him on the sofa.
"Do you want a glass of wine or something?" Nathan asked her. He was so nervous, he was sure Haley would be able to hear the thumping of his heart, it was beating so damn loudly, he needed to go and calm down and get his head together.
"Yes please, wine would be great." Haley smiled at him, her nerves also almost getting the better of her.
"I'll be right back." Nathan walked out of the lounge into the kitchen and lent against the counter, breathing deeply. He was so enthralled by her he almost forgot to breath when he was around her, especially when she looked as sexy as she did right now. He couldn't think of anything other than the fact that he wanted to peel that incredibly hot dress off her so slowly and relish in uncovering her beautiful body. He walked over to the fridge and allowed the cool air to calm his body temperature down for a second, then pulled the wine out of the fridge, grabbed the bottle opener and two glasses, and then walked back into the lounge.
He sat himself next to Haley again and uncorked the wine, pouring both himself and Haley a large glass, he didn't know about her but he definitely needed it! He handed a glass to Haley and watched as she took a large gulp, smirking to himself, happy that it wasn't just him who was so incredibly nervous about tonight.
Haley watched him over her wine glass, seeing that sexy smirk spread across his face. He looked so damn hot when he did that. "What?" She asked as she rested the wine glass on her thigh.
Nathan took a sip of the wine and turned to her. "Nothing."
"Come on, you have that smirk you do on your face, which definitely means it isn't nothing!"
"Honestly, it's nothing." Nathan said, not wanting to admit he was laughing at how nervous they both seemed to be and so quickly changed the subject. "Are you hungry?"
"I'm starving!" Haley stated as she turned and smiled shyly at him.
"Well come on, I'll go and get dinner sorted." Nathan declared as he got up from the sofa, motioning for Haley to follow him, which she did as he led her into the dining room.
Haley took in the table covered in candles and spotted her favourite flowers in the centre. "You remembered my favourite flower!" She gushed as she turned to look at him, complete amazement written all over her face, she couldn't believe that he had remembered something she had told him after the first basketball game she had been to watch him play in. He really was so sweet.
"Of course I did Hales; I remember everything you told me!" Nathan smiled as he pulled out a chair for Haley and waited for her to take her seat.
Haley smiled at him as she sat down in the seat and placed her wine on the coaster.
"I'll be back with dinner in a couple of minutes okay?" Nathan said as he leant down and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, unable to resist her, breathing in her intoxicating scent as he lingered his mouth by her cheek, before pulling away and heading into the kitchen.
Haley placed her hand on her cheek once Nathan had walked out of the dining room and grabbed her wine glass with the other, gulping down the half filled glass she had left. She didn't know why she was so nervous, but she needed the wine to calm herself down.
~*~
"Oh my gosh Nathan, that was so yummy!" Haley said as she licked her spoon and placed it back onto the plate, which was now so clean it probably wouldn't even need washing up.
"Ah, you say that about the one thing that wasn't hand made!" Nathan shook his head teasingly at her.
Haley smiled at him. "The whole dinner was amazing Nathan, thank you so much. I can't believe that you can cook like that!"
"Honestly, I had some help." Nathan responded while bowing his head in shame.
Haley laughed at him. "Who helped you then, cos whoever did sure knows how to cook an amazing dinner!"
"It was Brooke." Nathan confessed. "I was going to do it by myself and started but I burnt the chicken, then realised I was completely out of my depth so called in the reinforcement. Honestly you should be glad I did though, cos if I had cooked it all myself I'm sure you would have ended up getting sick!"
Haley giggled at his revelation and brought her wine glass up to her lips, eyeing him sexily over it. "I'm sure your version would have been just as delicious."
Nathan smiled at her. That giggle she had got to him every time. He felt the urge to completely ravage her then and there, throw the plates onto the floor, lay her down on the table and show her exactly how much she drove him crazy. But he fought it, not wanting to throw mixed signals at her after he had just told her he wanted to take things slowly with her. He noticed her wine glass was now empty and looked at the bottle that was in the wine cooler, seeing that the bottle was also empty. "You want some more wine?" He asked her.
"Sure." Haley responded.
Nathan cleared the dessert plates away and carried the empty wine bottle into the kitchen, retrieved another out of the fridge and uncorked it, before walking back into the dining room, seeing that Haley wasn't there anymore. He wandered into the lounge and saw her looking at some of the pictures him Mom had insisted he put up around the house when he had first moved in, to give it a supposedly homey feel. He watched Haley for a while, leaning against the door. She had one arm stretched along her side, the other crossed over her chest, her hand rubbing her arm. She had her back to him and he found himself staring at her incredibly sexy ass. The dress was incredible, it really did cling to her every curve, and the way it dipped down at the back, revealing the fact that she was definitely not wearing a bra had him growing incredibly hard.
He walked over to where she had placed the wine glasses on the table and poured the wine into them, the noise causing Haley to turn around.
"You and Lucas look so cute in this picture!" She said as she pointed to an incredibly goofy picture of them both at the beach.
Nathan laughed at the picture she was pointing at. "I have my mother to thank for placing these all around the house."
"I love pictures like that though, the ones which are completely natural, you can see how much fun the two of you were having in that moment." Haley said while still being enthralled by the picture of Nathan and his brother.
Nathan couldn't take not kissing her anymore, he had restrained himself this whole evening, but it was all becoming too much for him to take.
Haley turned around to face him and caught the desire burning in his eyes, causing her to blush and look away from him as she tucked her hair behind her ear, trying to keep her hands busy.
Nathan smirked at her, he loved it when she blushed, it was a total turn on. "Come here." He said sexily, unable to hold back from her anymore, reaching his arm out and pulling her to him from around her waist. He stared into her brown eyes when she was closer to him, reaching a hand up to run his hand softly down her face. "You're so sexy, you know that?" He said huskily as he leaned down, his lips being drawn forcefully to hers.
Haley closed her eyes as she felt his lips connect with hers and groaned at the contact. His mouth started to move against hers, which she responded to and it wasn't soon before she felt his tongue run along her lips. Haley wrapped her hands around his neck, opening her mouth for him as she ran her fingernails lightly along the base of his neck.
Nathan groaned into her mouth when he felt his tongue tangle with hers. He couldn't keep his hands still, running them up and down the part of her back that was exposed by her dress while the feeling of her fingernails running along the back of his neck was driving him crazy.
Haley retracted her mouth from his and kissed her way down his jaw towards his neck, she was insatiable when it came to him, her mouth was uncontrollable, she couldn't get enough of the taste of him, the smell, everything about him drew her to him, his skin was like a magnet for her lips. She bit, nipped and sucked her way down his neck, his groaning fuelling her further, as she kissed her way back up towards his mouth.
Nathan could feel her mouth moving back up towards his, but she was teasing him, placing more and more hot kisses along his jaw, his cheek, getting closer to his mouth, then pulling back again. He couldn't stand his lips being disconnected from hers a second longer, so he reached his hands up to her face and forcefully moved her mouth towards his lips, capturing hers in a searing hot kiss, full of the want and desire he possessed for her.
Haley couldn't breathe, it felt like he was sucking all the life out of her, her was kissing her with such a passion and a need, a need that she shared for him too. She pulled away, her eyes still closed, her breathing ragged as she tried to regain control of it again. However, any control she did gain over her breathing was soon wasted as she felt Nathan start to kiss her neck again, causing her to moan breathlessly when she felt his tongue running along her pulse point. She leaned her head to the side, giving him greater access as she felt him walk them both in the direction of the couch.
Nathan pulled back from kissing her neck when he had reached the couch and sat himself down on the sofa, his eyes travelling up that incredible body, drifting up and down every single one of her womanly curves, then he grabbed Haley by the waist and pulled her down so she was straddling him, his eyes never leaving her.
Haley sat down across his lap and looked deeply into his gorgeous blue eyes. She wrapped her arms back around his neck and leaned in closely to him, taking his mouth in kiss so full of longing, expressing her craving for him all too clearly, wanting to leave no doubt in Nathan's mind of how much she wanted him.
Nathan ran his hand up her side, grazing her breasts as he did so, groaning into her mouth. She was an amazing kisser; she really knew how to work her tongue to her full advantage. He ran his hands back down to her waist and in one swift motion, he flipped them over so that she was underneath him and they were now laying down on the sofa, his lips never left hers, he was too drawn into her kiss.
He kissed his way down her neck, biting and nipping at her skin, before moving his hand up to slide down the straps of the dress she was wearing, giving himself access to her shoulder. He heard her moaning his name as his kisses travelling down her chest, towards her breasts, peppering her cleavage in hot, wet kisses. He could already feel his hands wandering down her sides, and cursed himself for pushing things too far with her.
Haley's hands were uncontrollable; they were running up and down his back, and then tangled in his hair, her skin scorching from where Nathan's mouth had been covering her in kisses.
He pulled away breathlessly and rested his head on her forehead, bringing a hand up to caress her face, listening to the sound of her breathing. "I'm sorry." He said breathlessly as he opened his eyes, to find her staring right back at him.
Haley's hands loosened in his hair and she brought them down to the back of his neck, caressing him softly. "It's okay Nathan." She whispered, knowing that he was apologising for things going what he may have thought was too far. For Haley though, that wasn't nearly enough of what she wanted from him.
Nathan kissed her lightly on the lips. "You're just too god damn irresistible." He said as he started to move off her.
Haley smiled shyly at his words as he lifted himself off her, as she too sat up next to him and placed a lingering kiss on his cheek. She pulled away and glanced at the clock as she did so. "I'd better make a move." She said as she stood up from the sofa and grabbed her phone from her bag, calling a car to come and pick her up.
Nathan looked at the clock, seeing that it was midnight and watched as Haley walked out of the lounge towards the front door and followed her out to the hallway.
"Thank you for a lovely night Nathan. I had a lot of fun." Haley said as she turned to face him.
"You're welcome, I had fun too." Nathan started. "You could stay the night if you want to? You know I have some bedrooms going spare." He asked her, not wanting their night to end just yet.
Haley smiled at him. "I would love to stay but I don't have any clothes to sleep in apart from this dress."
Nathan smiled back cheekily. "You could always just sleep in your underwear?!"
Haley walked sexily up to him as she smiled at the cheeky grin that was so evident on his face. She kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then leaned in closer towards his ear. "Well I would sleep in my underwear, but I'm not wearing any." She turned her head to see that her car had just pulled up, and so left a kiss just below his ear, turned and opened the front door, giggling slightly to herself at the look on Nathan's face as she got into the waiting car.
Nathan's eyes grew so wide at her revelation; he was so stunned he couldn't move. He watched as she walked to the car, still not being able to find his voice. He saw the car pull away and groaned to himself, wishing he had let his hands wander over her more than he did. He shook his head as he closed the door. Haley James was far too sexy for her own good! He grabbed his phone from the kitchen and started to write her a text.
Haley sat in the car, still smiling from the perfect evening she had just spent with Nathan. She heard her phone beeping in her bag, so she pulled it out, seeing she had just received a message from Nathan. She opened it up and laughed at what he had written.
"Baby you are so not playing fair! Let me know when you and your sexy, naked ass get home. x"
Haley was still giggling when the car pulled up at her house. She walked inside and typed a message back to Nathan, letting him know that she and her sexy ass had made it home safely. She walked upstairs and flopped down on her bed, rerunning the events of the evening through her head, unable to wipe the grin off her face as she walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed. One thing was for sure, she was going to sleep as a very happy girl indeed.
