Key to my Happiness ch21
Haley woke up a few hours later after their mid-morning sex. She was still feeling exhausted; they had had sex before it didn't come close to how intense and exciting that morning felt together. This made her happy as her relationship was reaching that next level that was special to her. When she looked over and saw Nathan sound asleep next to her. She debated in her head if she should wake him up or not.
She soon decided against and took this time alone to go shower and freshen for their evening together. Once she had everything she needed from her overnight bag, she headed into the bathroom to shower. This alone time was perfect for her as she was able to get her thoughts together and just work out in her own mind, where her head was at with everything.
Nathan rolled over in the bed hoping to find Haley lying next to him. He was very disappointed to be met with a cold pillow and sheets. Once he started to wake up a little more and start looking around the room for Haley. He heard the sound of the shower going, so he knew that where she must be, Getting out of bed he headed over to the bathroom as he got closer. He was able to hear her singing, which was something he hadn't heard in a long time.
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
xxx
And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me - I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
xxx
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
"So you still do know how to sing?" he whispered softly as he stepped into the shower wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Nathan! You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were still sleeping," she spoke turning around in the shower to face him.
"Well I was still sleeping till I rolled over and my sexy girlfriend wasn't next to me," he spoke as he gently rubbed his hand her flat stomach to massage her hardened nipples.
"I woke up and you were still asleep I thought I would just get in the shower to save time later," she replied explaining her reasoning.
"You know you should have woke me. You know how much I love it when we shower together," he spoke pulling in flush to him as he started sucking down on her neck.
"I just thought you had got enough of me the last few hours and wanted your sleep," she spoke looking up at him.
"Hales baby, you know im always wanting you. I'm grateful for you letting me sleep too. So how about instead of another round in here, you sing the rest of that song for me he suggested to her.
"Yeah I think I would rather go with the more sex option," she spoke nervously.
"Come on Hales, I have heard you sing loads before and you know I think your great," he spoke trying to convince her.
"Yeah but you haven't heard me in ages and I get nervous singing for you," she replied looking back into his eyes.
"Just close your eyes and pretend im not here. I promise I won't say a word," he commented as he turned off the shower leading her back into the bedroom.
"Okay," she replied cuddling up next to him on the bed again.
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way (mmm...)
I know you will still love me the same
Xxx
'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
Xxx
That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are (oh ohh)
Xxx
La la la la la la la la la
Xxx
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
"That was amazing baby," he spoke leaning down to capture her kiss is a soft kiss.
"Thanks, I hope it turns into our fairy-tale someday," she replied cuddling into him.
"I can safely say I think it definitely will. You're the key to my happiness Haley James and I'm never letting go of you," he spoke staring her straight in the eyes.
"I could say the exact same about you Nate," she replied smiling at him.
"Hales I know you might not want to do this again. Do you ever think about get back out there and singing again?" he questioned to her.
"Yeah I do think about it a little more now. I think I'm still a little scared about what happened to me before. That's what's stopping me," she confessed to him.
"Haley doesn't let something like that stand in the way of something you love. I know you have been working really hard to get past all the Chris stuff. I think going out singing again will help. I don't want to see your talent go to waste. This think you will have me by your side every step of the way," he commented to her.
"Thanks Nate, I will definitely think about iot. We both need to get up or we will be late to our dinner reservation," she spoke getting up to find her evening outfit.
"Fine, when we get back I am definitely going to have you reaching a whole new level of sexual excitement," he spoke smirking at her.
"Oh baby, that is something I have no problem with you doing," she replied as they got themselves ready to go to dinner.
