When you look me in the eyes

chapter: thirteen

Haley woke up to the sound of rain hitting the hotel. Rain was like music to her ears. She couldn't help but smile. Then she felt her husbands arm wrapped securely around her. Her smile only grew bigger. She got up without trying to wake up Nathan. She walked over to the window opened her curtain to the big sliding glass doors and looked out over Paris. She then opened the doors and walked out onto the balcony. She was breathing in the smell of the rain and she then felt someone come up behind her.

"Good morning my beautiful wife."

"Good morning my handsome husband. How did you sleep?"

"Fine, until you got out of bed. I can never sleep well unless your there."

Haley smiled and turned around. There were those eyes of his. She went weak in the knees when he would stare at her like that with those piercing blue eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. It didn't become to heated. They had enough sex last night and wanted rest. They planned on going sight seeing the second day but figured they wouldn't because they were far too tired.

"Nathan? Lets stay in today and just be with each other as newlyweds. I just want to rest."

"But Hales you have been wanting to visit Paris your whole life. It's fine to go out."

"The Eiffel Tower will still be there tomorrow. Plus it's I just happen to have a sexy husband that I can lay in bed with all day." Haley winked at him and kissed his cheek. Nathan had that famous Nathan Scott smirk on his face.

"Okay. we will stay inside today. But that's only because I have a sexy wife that I can lay in bed with all day." Nathan leaned down and kissed her. They were kissing for a few minutes but the wind picked up and Nathan felt Haley shiver from being exposed.

"Hales your shivering lets go back inside."

She just nodded her was and followed him back into the room. She changed into sweatpants and one of Nathan's long sleeved shirts. It was big on her but she loved wearing his shirts and hoodies. She loved the smell and the way she felt when she wore them. She came out of the bathroom and Nathan only had on basketball shorts.

"Nathan it's freezing outside and you in basketball shorts?"

"Hales you know me I'm never cold. Remember when we went camping with Luke and Brooke? You were freezing at night and I wasn't so I kept you warm. Oh an nice shirt."

"How could I forget that trip. I fell in mud and had to wash off in the lake. I never felt so gross in my life. But I do remember you keeping me warm. That was nice. And this is your shirt so I hope you would like it."

"Ya know Hales my clothes look better on you then they do me. Maybe we should switch clothes?"

Haley laughed and but her hair up before crawling into bed and cuddling up to Nathan. She loved the way her body fit so perfectly into his. Like they were made for each other. She felt like she could lay here with her husband forever.

Two weeks later

They finally were packing up there bags to go back home. Neither of them wanted to leave, but they had to get back to friends and family. The flight back is about 9 hours.

After a long 9hour flight they finally land in tree hill airport. They were walking to baggage claim when they hear their names being called. They turn around and see both of their families and there friends. They both smiled and walked towards them.

"Tutor wife I missed you! How was your honeymoon?"

"Hey Brookie I missed you to. And it was absolutely perfect."

Everyone was asking about it and still congratulating them. They got there bags and went and got into Nathan's Mitsubishi Eclipse. They drove back to there apartment. Karen was letting them stay above the cafe for free until school starts because they don't have jobs and really don't have the money. They sure as hell didn't want to Stay on campus either. They wantEd to go home for the summer.

As soon as they got in the door the phone starts ringing and Haley went and got it. After a couple of minutes on the phone she went back to the living room. Nathan was looking through his suitcase for something.

"Who was on the phone Hales?"

"Nathan I think you might want to sit down for this."

She had tear in her eyes and she grabbed Nathan's hand and pulled him to the couch. Nathan noticed Haley's tears and was getting really worried.

"Haley. Haley what is going on?"

"You remember Quentin fields from high school right?"

"Of course Hales. We were pretty good friends I guess."

"Well something happened. Nathan, Quentin fields was shot last night. He's dead."

This time Haley couldn't hold back the tears. She started crying. Nathan stared at her in shock. He finally came back to it and pulled Haley close to him so she knew he was okay. Well he wasn't okay but he needed to be there for her right now. He knew her and Q were good friends throughout senior year.

"Hales it's okay baby. I'm here."

"I just can't believe it Nathan. He sent me an email two days ago and said congratulations to us and that he was sorry he couldn't come to the wedding. He was so young."

"I know Hales. And it's gonna take some time to get over because you were better friends with him than me! But I'm your husband now so I'm gonna be here for you every step of this. I love you."

"I love you too Nathan but what If it was you who was shot? I couldn't live without you. Your my everything Nathan and I wouldn't be able to live without you. It's just not possible."

"Haley we were in Paris and we were safe. We are safe now. Nothing is gonna happen to me. And trust me I know what it's like to almost lose the one you love. Remember the school shooting? You have no idea how afraid I was that I could have possibly walked out of there without you."

Haley looked at Nathan and couldn't believe how lucky she got. This guy in front of her was her whole world. She loved him so much that her heart ached when he wasn't around.
