CH12:

What's burning? Nathan thought as he laid in bed. It's probably the neighbors having a BBQ, he guessed, grabbing his sheets and spreading them over his head.

"AHHHHHH!" he heard a scream from down stairs.

"That's definitely not the neighbors" he said to himself, getting out of his bed, walking downstairs to check what was up. He walked into the kitchen and he saw Haley burning something in a pan, quickly wetting it on the sink.

"Um. Breakfast is ready" she said shyly. He looked at her and around the smoky kitchen.

"I thought you could cook?" he asked laughing at her, walking toward the window to open it.

"I can, it's… Your ovens fault" she whined, turning off the faucet.

"The oven?" he chuckled. She gave him a look.

"Well, you have this high- tech, fancy oven, when I'm used to regular oven. Like normal people" she teased.

"No, normal people have these types of oven. You on the other case are not normal" he teased her further.

"Hahaha, now eat" she said, handing him a plate of food: scrambled eggs, toast and sausages all mooched together. He looked at it; he wasn't sure if he should eat it. He lifted his fork and slowly reached for the food.

"Come on already, it's breakfast, not crap" she replied, while he raised an eyebrow. Haley gave him another look. Slowly he grasp the food. He looked at her and back at his food, he then took a bite and chewed slowly. It's not that bad, he thought.

"Not bad" he said, eating more.

"Told you" she said drinking some of her coffee.

"Where's my coffee?" he asked her.

"Unmade. Go make it yourself" she told him, putting her hair in a bun.

"Why? Can you serve me, please?" he gave her a puppy face. She placed her coffee down.

"Look woMAN, I made and served you breakfast, without you even saying thank you. And you expect me to get up, and serve you coffee?" she asked while she glared at him, trying to act serious.

"A simple no, would of done it. Gosh" he exaggerated. He then stood up and made his coffee.

"Hey Natey. Since you're up, can you get me the ketchup?" she asked still chewing on her food. He looked behind him at her, then walked to the refrigerator and took hold of the ketchup and hit her in the head with it.

"Hey!" she yelled, rubbing her head. "What was that for?" she asked furious. He sat down and drank his coffee, let it down and looked at her.

"First, don't ever call me Natey. Second, that was for not serving me coffee and lastly for calling me woman" he said smirking, while she was still rubbing her head.

"Ow… Didn't know you would get butt hurt" she said giggling. "Sensitive."

"What'd you call me?" he said pretending to get mad. She cleared her throat.

"I said, sensitive!" she loudly said. He got up at started chasing her, quickly she jumped up from her chair and ran toward the living room. Sadly she couldn't outrun. Nathan swiftly caught up with her and they both landed on the floor, Nathan on top of her.

"Get…. She said out of breath…. Get off of me" she said struggling beneath him.

"Not until you say, I'm the sexiest guy you ever met" he said enjoying the moment.

"Could your ego be any bigger?" she giggled.

"Say it" he said, beginning to tickle her.

"Fine, fine. Nathan's the sexiest guy I ever me" she squealed out. He got off her. They both stood up, and looked around his house, it was a mess.

"Are you going to stay to help me?" he asked her.

"Oh, come on Nathan. Just admit you want to spend more time with me" she smirked.

"No, I just want someone to help me clean my house" he played along. She smiled at him.

"Where's the broom then?" she asked, secretly not wanting to leave.

After they were done cleaning the house, both Haley and Nathan sat in his couch.

"There's a reason why I don't trust guys. When they're gone, I mean." she said starting the conversation. Nathan looked at her, not saying anything.

"Long ago, I let myself fall in love. Big mistake" she lightly said, staring at the ground. He kept his eyes fixed on her, letting her continue.

"Anyways, his name was Chris Keller. He was great. He was into the same music like me, and same interests… she paused…So one summer I left to California for vacation with my family. When I came back, my friends were acting sorry for me all of a sudden. I was confused, I didn't know what was going on. Then one day I went into his room, without knocking, and there he was, on top of my 'friend' in their birthday suits" she finished. He slid over to her side and gave her a kiss in the forehead and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, he did that to you. He missed out on someone great. Oh and thanks for everything" he said comforting her. Her remembered Chris Keller, he was always so full of himself.

"Thanks and you're welcome" she said, releasing from him. "I thought I would tell you one of my secrets, like you told me about your drawings" she answered.

"I wont tell anyone" he assured her. She nodded.

"Well, now that the chick moment passed, I should drive you home. To get ready for the pool party later on " he said getting up of the couch. She chuckled and stood up herself, leaving to his car, to finally go home.
