- Chapter Eleven -
"Felix never had a chance."
I whip my head around because I know that is definitely not Lucas's voice.
There stands the one and the only...
Haley Elise James.
-NATHAN'S POINT OF VIEW-
"Hi."
I just stare at her in disbelief and then roll my eyes.
"Hi? You left me to go marry some guy you hate and now all you can say is hi?" I yell at her.
I know that deep down in my heart I am excited that Haley is back, but I am not going to let her know just yet. It still sucks that she was going to leave me for him.
"Nathan, please."
"No, Haley. I'm not going to forgive you for what you did. I was there when you told me all about Felix and how much you hated him and then I confess my feelings to you and you tell me you love him and run away! It's not fair Haley. You can't do this to me!"
"I never said I loved Felix. I hate him." Haley yells back at me. I can tell from the tone of her voice and the deadly flash in her eyes that she is pissed.
"Ok. Ok. I know I appear to be the 'dumb jock' Haley, but you can't expect me to believe that pathetic lie."
"It's the truth Nathan! I hate Felix and you know that!" she screamed at me.
"Yeah. I mean, you hate the guy so much, you were actually going to marry him. Wow Haley, I can really see how much you don't like him." I say sarcastically.
"What is your problem? I came back! I didn't even board the plane because I kept thinking about this asshole named Nathan. Oh right, that's YOU!" she yelled at me.
"Well if I'm such and asshole then why did you come back? Huh?
Silence.
"Did you like leading me on and then breaking my heart? Was it so fun the first time you couldn't resist to come back and do it again? Because I'm done Haley. You're nothing but a fake." I say while a few stray tears slide down my face.
I see her features soften and her eyes fill with regret and simpathy, along with tears of her own.
"NO! It was nothing like that Nathan! It hurt so much to leave you because I knew you were hurting. That is why I came back! I need you Nathan. All of you!" she says while giant tears cascade down her face and onto the white sand.
"Well you can't have me. Not now and not ever. I hope you have a nice life with Felix." and with that, I start to walk away.
"Nathan, stop. Please!" I hear Haley calling to me, but I don't stop.
"NATHAN!"
I turn around and she is staring me straight in the eyes.
"What!" I yell with annoyance.
"Do you still love me?"
I just stare at her and I can see that desperation in her eyes. I want to tell her that she means nothing to me, but I can't. The words won't form and my lips won't speak them. They couldn't speak them.
"I wish I could tell you no, but I can't. I do love you Hales. Always and forever. And that's what sucks." I say honestly before turning around and heading towards the beach house again.
"I love you."
My heart stops and I slowly turn around to face Haley. She is wearing white shorts and a pink baby doll top. Her hair is blowing in every direction due to the wind, and her eyes are all red and puffy. But for some reason, she has never looked so beautiful.
We are just staring at each other and she says in again.
"I love you Nathan Royal Scott and it scares me, but I do. I love you."
She is crying and I feel awful. She came back because she loves me and I just treated her like a dick. I am a dick.
"I understand if you want me to leave. I've caused a lot of problems and pain for you. I'm really sorry Nathan. I really didn't mean to. I love you and I always will. Always and forever."
She looks down and starts walking away with tears in her eyes.
"Goodbye Nathan." she says before getting in the cab.
My head is spinning as I watch her cab disappear into the distance and I am still trying to wrap my head around what just happened. And then it dawns on me, she loves me. Haley loves me and she came back for me. I love her and she loves me.
Before I even realize it, I am running in down the road chasing her cab and yelling for her.
"Haley! Stop! Haley!"
I see her cab start to slow down and she steps out when it comes to a complete stop. She is looking at me like I am crazy, but I still can see the glimmer of hope shining through her eyes.
"Nathan! What are yo..."
-HALEY'S POINT OF VIEW-
But I don't have time to finish my sentence because in two long strides, Nathan has reached me and his lips make immediate contact with mine.
Both his hands are on either side of my head, carresing my cheeks and messing with my hair. I feel the passion and love overflowing while we continue to share in our first kiss.
My arms instinctively wrap around Nathan's neck and I pull him closer to me. My fingers play with the hair at the nape of his neck while his hands go down to my waist and full my flush up against him. We are both getting lost in the kiss when I hear...
"Um...sorry to interupt, but I have to get back to work. So, if you are staying, I can get your bags." the cab driver asks akwardly.
Nathan and I brake apart, but our eyes never leave each other. A smile grazes my lips as I tell the cab driver...
"I'm staying."
Nathan's face lights up like a child's on Christmas. I laugh at this, but he doesn't seem to mind and her kisses me again. I wrap my arms around him and he picks me up. He starts carrying me towards the beach house and yells at the driver to leave my bags at the door and that a hundred dollar bill will be waiting for him there and the driver smiles akwardly again.
Nathan opens the door to the beach house and continues to carry me upstairs. He leaves open-mouthed kisses on my jaw line, down to my neck, and across my collarbone. I can't controll the moan that escapes my lips and I couldn't be happier when Nathan finally reaches the door. The bedroom door.
I can't believe I am about to do IT with Nathan Scott. I have always believed that women should save themselves until marriage, but being with Nathan right now, it just feels right. We are in love and nothing or nobody can change that.
"Would you mind telling me if that was Haley James that was just carried into that house?" asked a dark haired stranger to the cab driver.
"Um... I'm not supposed to share the names of my riders to strangers. Sorry." the old man answers uncomfortably to the younger man.
"I'm not a stranger. I'm her fiance."
Dun, dun, dun! Haha. Well, you guys got your Naley! Just don't kill me for bringing back Felix. You all should have seen that coming eventually! However, I have a delimea for my next chapter. As you know, Naley share a "love scene" and I don't exactly know how to write those types of scenes. If anyone would be kind enough to maybe help write it with me, email the scene to my email address: . For the subject, put: Naley Love Scene. Thank you so MUCH!! Any who, here is the poll!
What should the title of this chapter be?
A) Hate That I Love You
B) Want
C) Second Chance
D) If you have anymore ideas, let me know.
