Chapter 10

Want To

After jumping in and out of the shower Haley did her hair and make-up. Her make-up she kept light and natural and her long hair curled and left loose. When she

was satisfied she didn't look awful she walked out of the bathroom, into the bedroom and over to the wardrobe trying to decide what to wear for her dinner with

Nathan. She wasn't sure what to wear did she go dressy, dressy casual or casual? Looking through her clothes there weren't a heap of options, so she eventually

went with her short grey skirt and a white v-neck long sleeved top and teamed it with her low heeled back knee-high boots and her black jacket. Taking a deep

breath to calm herself, Haley had to admit she was a bit nervous about dinner with Nathan. She wasn't sure what to expect from tonight was it just dinner? Was it

a date? Did he expect her to have sex with him? Because she know if she was ready for that yet, sure they'd kissed a few times and it was great. Well totally mind

blowing if she was being honest. But that didn't change the fact that she had little experience with men and that she and Nathan had only know each other a few

days. So maybe this was a good opportunity for them to get to know each other a bit better. It didn't just have to be about sex right?

Feeling a little more confidant about the whole dinner situation Haley headed down stairs stopping by the kitchen to grab a bottle of wine, and then she headed for Nathan's.

Haley nervously stood on Nathan's front door step waiting for him to answer the door. Then he finally did, 'he looks so hot,' Haley thought as she took in his dark blue jeans and tight black button up shirt.

"Hi," Haley said shyly.

"Hey, come on in I hope you're hungry. Sorry but Mac and Cheese is not on the menu tonight." He told her with a grin.

Once they were in the kitchen Haley offered him the bottle of wine.

"Thanks. You didn't have to bring anything though this place is pretty well stocked. Would you like a glass now?" Nathan asked, and Haley nodded taking a seat at the bench opposite him.

'Man she was gorgeous,' he thought as he opened the bottle of wine, it just made him want to rip off her clothes and take her right there up against the fridge, on

the bench, hell even the floor, maybe all three if he was lucky. He mentally shook himself these were not the kind of thoughts he needed to have right now, she

was a nice girl and deserved better than a quick fuck. He poured them both a glass of wine, and then busied himself with fixing the salad to go with their dinner.

"Wow this is all very domesticated. Who knew Nathan Scott could cook?" Haley said with a smile.

"Shh. Don't tell anyone, it will ruin my reputation." Nathan told her.

"Oh well I guess it will have to be our secret then." Haley said taking a sip of her wine, "can I do anything to help?"

"Not a thing. Everything is done now. It's just a matter of waiting on the steaks to cook now." He said finishing off the salad.

"By the way how would you like your steak done? Please tell me you're not one of those people who has their steak cooked until its like charcoal?" He wanted to know

"Nope I'll have mine done medium rare thanks."

"So how did the rest of your afternoon go? Did you manage to get your friend to take over as your manager? And get rid of your bitch of a Manager?" Nathan asked.

"Yes as of this afternoon Victoria is no longer my problem. And my friend Peyton Sawyer is now officially my Manager." She told him with a wide smile.

"That's great. I guess it's lucky I put some champagne on ice then."

"You wouldn't be trying to get me drunk would you Mr Scott?

"Maybe I am maybe I'm not." Nathan said with a smirk. Deciding that he needed to kiss her immediately, he moved around the bench to stand in front of her.

Putting down his wine glass, he then took hers and put it down next to his on the bench.

"You look amazing tonight Hales." Nathan said taking her hand in his.

"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." Haley told him before grabbing a fist full of his shirt with her other hand and pulling him to her. Then his mouth was on

hers, his lips warm and tasting of the wine he'd just consumed. His teeth tugged and scraped at her bottom lip, pleading for her to open her mouth to him, and she

was more than happy to oblige. Their tongues met, long slow strokes and it was like a fire ignited. He moved closer still to stand in the v of her thighs, her short

skirt riding up further than it already was. Haley lost herself in the kiss, in him, moaning into his mouth. Nathan caught his hands in her hair holding her to him so he

could deepen their kiss. Their tongues tangling together, teasing tormenting in frenzied kisses. Haley swore she could hear bells ringing. They pulled apart their

breathing ragged, and it took a few moments for the lust haze that had engulfed their senses to lift. When it did Haley realised that the bells she heard were

coming from the oven.

"Um Nathan, I think your oven timer is going off." Haley told him breathlessly.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Um let me get that." A dazed Nathan said before going over to the buzzing oven.

Haley was glad his attention was diverted it gave her a chance to gain control of her emotions. Their kiss had been amazing, overwhelming and just a little scary.

He made her loose control, Haley James did not normally act like that, she was always in control. She did not go around grabbing men she hardly knew and kissing

them until she couldn't think straight. And she most definitely did not normally consider having sex with someone she hardly knew. She was a twenty year old virgin for crying out loud.

She had decided when she was younger, after seeing her older sister sleep with random guy after random guy, that she would not have sex until she was in love

or married. Apparently though, a few very hot kisses from one Nathan Scott and her decision to wait and self control went out the window.

Nathan took a steading breath, he hadn't meant for their kiss to get so out of hand. He was pretty sure if the oven timer hadn't gone off they would be on the

bench having sex right now. Now that wasn't normally a problem for him, no the problem was he actually wanted to stick round after the sex, something he never

did. Haley made him want far more than just the sex, sex which he was sure would be incredible, and for him that was scary as hell.

Once they both had their emotions (and desire) in check, they went out back to his deck where the grill was. Although it was fall the weather today had been

rather mild, so Nathan had decided they would eat on the deck. Maybe the fresh air would cool them both down Nathan thought with a smirk.

Haley who had been pretty quiet since their kiss suddenly spoke.

"Ok here's the thing. I don't have a lot of experience with this whole thing." Haley rushed out.

"What the whole dinner thing? It's easy you just eat." Nathan told her with a smirk.

"Ha ha. No I'm talking about this. You and me. I mean we've had a few good kisses," at his raised eyebrow she amended, "Ok a few great kisses. I guess I just

want to know, is that all it is? Or is it about sex because I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet."

"Uh ok." Nathan replied uncertainly, but stopped when she stood up.

'Shit,' she thought that had come out completely wrong, now he probably thought she was some psycho who thought that a few kisses lead to a major

commitment. 'Oh God,' she thought, 'I've scared him off.' Pushing her chair back she took off across the deck as fast a she could and headed for the safety of the

house next door.

Nathan was completely dumbfounded, "What the hell just happened here?" He asked the now empty deck, as if it would give him the answers.

Nathan cursed his injured knee, grabbed his crutches and headed as fast as he could safely manage, for Haley's. Making his way up the back stairs he could see

her pacing the length on the kitchen. When he knocked on the glass door she jerked around to face him and made her way slowly to the door.

"Hi." She said quietly.

"Haley. It's not just about sex."

"It's not?"

"Trust me if that was the case we would have already had sex by now, and I certainly wouldn't be standing here right now." At her questioning look he continued.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like spending time with you and seeing as were both stuck here for the next month I think we should see where this goes."

"I think I'd be ok with that." Haley told him with a small smile.

"So does that mean you're gonna come back over and finish the dinner?" Nathan asked with a hopeful smile. "I mean I did slave away all day to get everything ready."

"Well I guess we'd better go and eat then." Haley told him.

Together they walked back to Nathan's, while he put the steaks on the grill she sat down and picked up her earlier discarded glass of wine.

"I'm sorry I went all crazy on you before. I guess I just panicked. And just so we're clear I like spending time with you too."

"That's ok you're kinda sexy when you panic." He told her with a smirk.

"Well that's lucky coz I tend to panic a lot around you."

"Lucky me." Nathan said, getting the steaks off the grill. He took them to the table and sat down, looking pretty pleased with himself. "Speaking of luck you are one very lucky lady Haley James."

"And why is that?" Haley asked with a roll of her eyes, knowing what was coming.

"Because I cooked you dinner and the fact that you get to eat with me for the second night in a row."

"And here I thought you were the lucky one to get to have dinner with me two nights in a row."

"I guess we're both lucky." Nathan said before they started to eat their dinner.

"Wow you actually can cook. This is really good." Haley said as she tasted her dinner.

"With Karen Scott as a Mom, not being able to cook wasn't an option. Trust me all Scott men know how to cook and we have all done our time in the kitchen at the Café."

"That was one piece of information I didn't find out on the internet." Haley said with a laugh.

"Do I need to mention your bra size again?"

"No you do not need to mention that again."

The rest of their meal was spent with lots of flirting going back and forth. When Nathan made to move to clear the table Haley stopped him. "No Nathan sit down,

let me clear the table seeing as you did all the cooking it only seems fair that I do the clearing up." She said before standing up and clearing the table. Nathan

followed her into the kitchen where she made him sit down while she packed the dishwasher.

"I hope you left room for dessert." Nathan asked get up from his seat heading for the fridge, "and I hope you like chocolate pie."

"Sounds great, I can never say no to anything chocolate."

"I can't take credit for this one though, my Mom made it."

The two sat down at the bench and ate their pie. "Oh my God this is great, your Mom is amazing." Haley groaned as she finished her dessert looking over at

Nathan he laughed at her and shook his head.

"What?"

"You have a little chocolate on your lip." He told her pointing to her mouth.

"Did I get it?" Haley asked after wiping her mouth.

"Uh no, here let me." Nathan said leaning in and wiping the chocolate off her top lip. He then brought his chocolate covered finger to his own mouth and sucked his

finger clean, his eyes never once leaving hers. They reached for each other at the same time, their lips fusing together. Haley found herself thinking that the only

place this was going was the bedroom.

OTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTH

AN: Can't believe I made it to Chapter 10 already!

So obviously both Nathan and Haley are confused about their feelings at the moment.
