Chapter 14
Haley looked at Lucas and then walked towards the door and peeked out. She gasped when she saw Nathan's car outside.
Haley gasped, "Haley?"
Haley closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, "Nathan, please leave."
"I'm not leaving" he said. "We need to talk. I want to explain."
Haley felt tears filling her eyes, 'Why do I need to be such a cry baby?'
"Haley please," Nathan desperately wanted to talk to her, "Every time we seem to be getting along there seems to be another problem." Nathan paused, "And I just…" he stopped and after a while, "I want it to work-out."
Haley felt the tears rolling down her cheeks. She had her back turned to Lucas luckily. She did not want anyone to see her cry.
"Let me at least drive you home," Nathan said, "do you have a way to get home?"
"No," Haley whispered.
"Then come," there was a long moment of silence and then, "Please Haley we need to talk."
Haley hung-up and Nathan sat in his car just staring at his cell. He knew there was a chance this would happen but he did not expect it. In Nathan's mind it would all turn out okay with Haley falling to his arms and saying she desperately wants him. But of course that was a dream.
---------------------------------------------------
"Lucas," Haley said, "take me home."
"He's outside isn't he?" Lucas said knowingly.
"Lucas please! Take me home."
"No Hales. You're going home with him."
"Lucas please!"
"Let him drive you! You don't even have to talk to him! Just let him explain!"
Lucas looked into Haley's eyes. He hated to see her cry but he knew that this was one of the times that she was completely wrong and was being stubborn.
"Come on, Hales," he said walking towards her and hugging her, "Give him a chance."
---------------------------------------------------
Nathan sat in silence looking out his window when suddenly heard something. He turned his head and saw Haley opening the door and sitting next to him.
Nathan smiled to himself and started driving. Haley sat with her hands crossed on her chest not even looking at him.
"Rachel didn't even give me the chance to say anything about you," Nathan said, "I told her I was not interested and she did not listen. She didn't let me say more than that." Nathan seeing that Haley was not responding continued, "I know I should've told her." Still no response from Haley, "And I should've stopped her today."
Finally Haley turned to Nathan, "Today? What happened today?"
Nathan sighed, "She…" he started.
"You kissed her when I left, didn't you?" Haley said.
"No! Haley I wouldn't do that to you. I'm talking about what happened when you were still there."
"Her rambling you mean?"
"That too"
"Nathan? What are you talking about?"
"When she took my hand and," Nathan stopped.
"And?" Haley looked straight into Nathan's eyes.
"She," Nathan started and took a deep breath, "It doesn't matter."
"Nathan! You have to tell me now that you started." Nathan stopped the car in the middle of no where.
Nathan looked at Haley completely turning his body to her.
"Did she…" Haley said leaning over and kissed Nathan on his lips. "Or did she…" she took Nathan's hand and slowly sucked on every finger like Rachel did but much slower.
"Tell me Nathan," Haley said, "Show me what she did."
Nathan was so surprised at what Haley had just done, "Show you?"
Haley nodded, "Afraid it will be too much for me?" Haley said not believing what had come over her. She wanted to give Nathan everything Rachel would. Although she was mad at him for not saying anything to Rachel about Haley she could not help but feel a sting of jealousy.
Nathan swallowed, "she took my hand and" he looked at Haley, "and slid it up her skirt."
"Show me," Haley said her eyes wide.
"Haley please," Nathan said, "you aren't acting like yourself."
"Well that's what you do with other girls. That's what you expect of me." Haley said the truth finally coming out.
"Not at all!" he put a strand of her hair behind her ear, "I don't need all that with you! You have something more."
"And what is that exactly?" Haley said frustrated.
Nathan took Haley's hand and put it on his chest, "you have my heart."
