Chapter XII - Morning After
The weird and great thing about that you go to sleep in 4 AM is that you have every right to sleep in. So the next morning the first thing I saw was the clock on the nightstand saying it's 11AM. Right next to it two pictures stand. One was about me and Jake in the photobox and on the other Nathan and Lucas stand next to each other with their arms droped on the others shoulder, grinning like little children. When I turned around I saw the bed was already empty. Sometime till I slept Nathan get out and went to his room. Well that means we are friends now. 'Step one complited' I thought.
I lay there a few minutes more then I strted my way down to the kitchen. Since I was here before I know where it is. I searched the desks and cupboards till I found some ingridients to my famous breakfast. I made pencakes and I placed them on a plate with some syrup. Then I headed upstairs and I looked around confused. Way back in time Jake told me which room was whos but I forgot. Yeah silly me I know. Anyway I know where is my/Jake's room so this left only two chices.
I entered the first bedroom to my right. It was empty. But my curiosity got the best of me and I still looked around in Lucas Scott's bedroom. The walls were covered with bookshelves, with hundreds of books on them. As I walked closer I saw that these bookswasn't fantasy books like I imagined minutes before indeed these were all famous authors books. Like Shakespear, or Steinbeck. 'There might be hope for him' I thought. I started to back out from his room cuz well be honest with ourselves it was kind of freaky just to be there and stalking.
So that only left the second room to be Nathan's. I was nervous... Cuz clearly I never have been there before. 'Suck it up Hal! You can do it! Be a men.. or a women in this case. Arg you know how I mean Great, now I didn't understand myself... I think I'm going insane here.' When I peek inside the door I saw blue walls. 'Figures'...I thought to myself. With the trai(?) in my hands I went inside the room. Nathan slept in his king sized bed, without a shirt and men, does he look good. I slowly started to approach his bed and I sat on the ther side. After I placed the trai in front of me I leaned over to Nathan and whispered
"Wake up sleepyhed! I made breakfast"
Nathan looked at me with a sleepy gaze and I just zoomed out. He turned to see the breakfast on his bed.
"Wow, first morning together and I already get breakfast? Somebody trained you well" he said laughing. I slapped him on his chest.
"Nobody trained me Nathan Scott! I just thought after my brust out yesterday, you deserve breakfast in bed"
"That was sweet of you, thanks Hales"
"Are you going to share it with me?" I asked full of hope
"Maybe...I'm not sure yet"
"Come on what more do you want from me?" I asked in a seductive voice
"Well I got some pretty good idea" he flirted back "But now the only thing I want is the only thing that every man want at 11:30"
I looked at him curiously. What does a man want at 11:30?
"Some peace and the controller so I can wacth the game from bed"
I just sighed and give him the contoroller. He just smirked at me and I didn't know why. Anyway, after I gave him the controller he turned in the TV and laied back at the headboard. I'm really not in basketball, but I know the game is between Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic. I was routing for the Bulls and I'm pretty sure Nathan too but he mostly commented the whole match. And I laughed. I thought only the girls and me did commentaries on movies. But by the look of it, guys do it all the time too. While we watched the game we slowly started to eat the pancakes too. When the game was over (and the Bulls won 120-100) I looked at myself and I just realized I wore Jake's clothes.
"Nathan, can I get the car keys? I really need my stuff"
"Sure, but let me tell you I like this jersey on you too"
I just raised my eyebrows and didn't know what to say. So I just simply waited till he get out of bed (Can I say WOW!) and give me the keys of his car. I run down to the car and get my stuff. I would give my life for a hot shower when I get back. It was still freezing outside, which is unusual, considering it's only September.
So after a long and hot shower I changed in my clothes. An orange top with a jeans. 'Simply but comfy (Is there a word even like that?). Definitally me. And great, I just started rambling in my head again. Oh joy.' I phoned Peyton up so we could meet somewhere this afternoon, then I told Nate that I'm heading out. Of course he was playing basketball on their driveway.
-----------------------------------------------------
Since Tree Hill is rather small town I decided to just walk to the little park behind Backers Street (AN: Dunno if there is a street like that, I just made it up) where I found my very best buddy.
"Hey Peyt"
"Hey buddy! So what did your mom said when you got in so late?"
"Oh yeah, you didn't know..."
"Know what?"
"Well my 'Mom'" I fingerquoted the word "thought it would be okay that she didn't tell me she has gone out with her friends from the town. So basicly I was homeless"
"Why didn't you come to my house? Oh y god, you so not spend the night out in the storm right?"
"No, I didn't. I get back to the Scott mansion. I slept at Jakes bedroom, and I just come from them."
"And? Was there any action?"
"Well you could say... I mean there was this momnet when I thought he'll kiss me, but nothing. I'm a little confused here right now, you know? I mean he ask me to go out with me. I said es. Then we dance."
"Hot if I can add" Peyton interrupted me. I just shot a look at her
"Okay, we danced hot, then we are there in front of his hous, the rain pouring down on us, we look deeply in each others eyes" I heard Peyton sigh at this "and then he just whispers in my ear to go inside before we got sick" Then I saw Peyton's schoked expression "I know! It's so frustrating. Hot-cold, he is. Oh and did I mention that after this when the storm strted he come in just to check up on me and when I broke down he calmed me down an hugged me and I slept in his arms? And then this morning... Nothing. I hate boys!"
"You so not hate them Haley James! I know that for a fact. And Come on maybe he is just unsure what you wanted to do. Or he didn't kiss you cuz it was just your first date"
"Peyt I love how you try and defend him, but I don't think that would be it. I mean when we pretended to be a couple in Duke"
"WOW get back! Pretend to be a couple? How come I didn't know about this?"
"Okay, so it was this one day..." and then I told her about our lunch and the goodbye kiss. Of course I mentioned to her that it was on the cheek. "See? If he didn't wnt anything I don't think he would tell me these kind of things."
"Maybe you are right. Oh I got a great idea! Why don't you kiss him?"
LOL "Peyton, Brooke so rubbed on you. I will not kiss him, it would be so akwarked after it"
"Or he could kiss back and it could be pretty great after it"
Leave it to Peyton to be so optimistic after everything that happened with her. We talked so long I didn't noticed the sunalredy going down. So we said our goodbyes and then I walked back to the Scotts house. Nathan wasn't in the driveway this time and my Ipod just switched to one of Faith Hill's song to be honest, This Kiss was the song. When I saw nobody is aroung I started singing with my Ipod. I didn't notice tht a certain male come out of the house.
