Chapter Twenty Five
Nathan rolled on his bed and reached out with his left hand, expecting to find a warm and naked body beside him. His eyes flew open when his hands met with the cool sheets instead of his blonde haired girlfriend. Rubbing his eyes to get the remaining sleep out of his eyes, he turned back to look at the digital clock that was sitting on his night stand.
"Holy Shit!"
His eyes went wide and in a split second, he threw his naked body out of the king size bed. Putting on his trousers, he checked the time again but this time on his cellphone. It displayed the exact same time as the clock. What the hell?
12:07 PM.
It was already past noon! How the hell had he managed to sleep for that many number of hours? Never in his life had he slept for more than five hours, six maximum. He mentally did the math and gasped in extreme shock when he realized that he had slept for almost ten hours. Sleeping that long, for that many insane hours was usually Haley's job. Speaking of Haley, his beautiful, sexy and stunning best friend cum girlfriend, his mind drifted a few hours back to the exact time when they had finally made love. A huge grin attacked his lips as he remembered the way she had held onto him during their love making and the way he fit perfectly inside of her. He could still feel his body tingle just thinking of those intimate moments that took place between them. Later, they had both drifted off to sleep, their legs tangled together and with her head on his chest. It was probably because of her, no he was damn sure that it was all because of her that he had managed to sleep that well without any difficulty. He smiled widely and casually strolled into the kitchen where he found the person he had been looking for. The person who had his mind occupied for the past ten minutes or so. He frowned, noticing that she was already dressed for the day.
"Are you going somewhere?"
Startled by a deep voice, Haley looked up to find a shirtless Nathan staring at her with raised eyebrows. She smiled as he walked towards her.
"Hey. Yeah, I am actually heading out to meet Brooke and Peyton."
Wrapping his hands around her slim waist, he pressed a long kiss on her glossy lips.
"Good morning."
She sighed in appreciation and returned his soft kisses. Twining her arms at his nape, she allowed him to lift her up and place her body on the small counter.
"A very good morning indeed." She mumbled long after their kiss ended. He smirked, taking in her flushed face, absolitely loving the fact that he could have such an effect on her.
"Hmmmm. You smell so good." He complimented while leaving feather light kisses along her neck. Hearing her soft chuckle, he abruptly stopped his ministrations and looked up at her with a questioning gaze.
"I took a long shower so I've ought to smell good."
"You already took one?" He pouted in one of the most adorable manners. "I thought we could take one together."
"Aww, baby. We've got all the time in the world to do that later. Besides, we don't have any more condoms remember?" She reminded him, caressing his cheeks with the back of her hands before pressing her lips upon his.
"Okay." He kissed her nose and repeated the action once again when she scrunched her face. "Why the girls meeting all of a sudden?"
"It was Brooke's idea. She wants to talk to us about something. For some reason, I thought she sounded upset."
"Well that's a first." He commented. "She's always so damn cheerful and jovial. Sometimes I wonder if that girl ever cries or have ever cried in her entire life so far."
"Shut up!"
She hit him half-heartedly and jumped down ignoring his protests. Taking out a mug from one of the cabinents, she poured in some coffee which she had made earlier, after taking her long shower. Walking towards him where he was sat on the stool, she handed him the mug and took a seat next to him.
"Speaking of firsts, I don't think I or anyone else for that matter has ever seen you get up this late."
He took a long sip from the mug and rewarded her with one of his biggest smiles.
"What can I say? You are a very bad influence on me, Haley James." He laughed when she gasped mockingly and placed the mug on the counter. Pulling her towards his body, he placed her sideways on his lap and kissed her cheek with a smacking noise.
"Hales, I slept like a baby because you were there right beside me, in my arms. I've never shared that with anyone else in my life. It felt so damn good and from now on, I want to sleep next to you. I want to see your face before I go to sleep at night and after I wake up in the morning. I would have ended up sleeping longer if you hadn't got out of the bed. I missed you and the warmth radiating from your body. When did you wake up anyway?"
"I woke up at around eleven or something but I got off the bed at eleven thirty." She answered and watched as his forehead crinkled in confusion.
"Then, what did you do on the bed for almost half an hour?"
"I studied each and every single part of you." She whispered seductively, licking her lips and nipping at his earlobe. "Including this big guy." She squeezed him through his pants and immediately felt his cock react to her touch and become hard like a rock.
Nathan groaned, getting hold of her hand and moving it away.
"Hales, please don't start something that you won't be able to finish."
He kissed her deeply once, twice, three times and trailed kisses down her throat and on the exposed skin of her collarbone.
"You should have woke me up. I could have given you an even closer look and then most definitely returned the favor." He spoke in between kisses.
Haley sighed and tilted her head to one side in order to give him better access. She shifted in his lap so that she could straddle him, bringing their lower bodies in close contact. Just when he was about to take her clothes off, the loud ringtone of Haley's cellphone went off and had them both breaking apart.
"Ughh." He groaned resting his head on her heaving chest. On the other hand, she giggled and reached out for her phone which she had deposited in the back pocket of her jeans.
"Don't answer it." He told her, snatching the disturbing object from her hands and putting it behind his back.
"Nathan, give it back to me. It must be Brooke calling."
When he wouldn't give it back to her, she moved forward and attached their lips together in a searing kiss. When she felt him wrap his arms around her hips, she quickly retrieved her ringing phone back from his hand and jumped off him. Quickly hitting the answer button, she spoke breathily into the phone.
"Hey, Brooke."
Upon realizing what had just happened, Nathan's eyes went wide in surprise. 'Damn, she's good', he muttered to himself and smiled a bit too sweetly at his girlfriend who was a few feet away from him, engaged in a conversation.
He gestured for her to come near him but she simply shook her head, refusing his invitation.
Seeing the look of sadness etched upon his face, she reluctantly took one step towards his direction and then another one, until she was standing right infront of him.
"Alright. Yeah, I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. Bye"
Ending the call, she looked down at him warily. When he placed his hand forward palm up, she furrowed her eyebrows together. When he pointed towards the phone in her hands, she rolled her eyes and handed it to him.
"You can't distract me with your irresistable kisses everytime, you know." She smirked, retaining her earlier position and tracing invisible patterns on his chest.
"Well then I'll have to think of some other ways to distract you." She replied sexily and at the same time flicking her thumb across his nipple.
"Yeah, I know very well about all your sexy ways. You are a seductress, Haley James." He smirked giving her a light kiss on the cheek. "Aren't you getting late to meet the girls." He asked, stroking her hair as she sighed, resting her head on his chest.
"Yeah. I should get going."
They kissed each other one last time but Haley pulled away from their kiss when she heard the sound of a flash going off.
"There. That's a perfect picture of both of us. What do you think?" He asked showing her the said picture.
"Yes, it is. Perfect."
They stared at the photo for another few seconds with goofy grins on their faces.
"Jake is already at Lucas and Brooke's apartment and they are probably wondering when you'll show up. When Brooke had called earlier, I told her you were still asleep which she found absolutely shocking. Anyway, I'll meet you back at her place and then we can ride home together and engage in some naughty games. You better pay a quick visit to the drug store and get protection. We are gonna need them later tonight."
He nodded happily as she leaned in and gave him one final long kiss.
"Bye."
"Bye, baby. See you soon."
He sighed in contentment, watching her retreating form.
"By the way-" she turned back when she was almost out of his sight, "- have fun explaining to the guys about your unusual waking time today."
She blew him an air kiss along with a sexy wink and disappeared from his sight while his mind had already started working on the perfect excuse to give to his friends.
******NALEY*****
"Hey guys." Nathan greeted entering the living room of his blonde haired friend who was busy playing a game of NBA live with Jake.
"Hey, sleeping beauty."
"Hey, princess."
The raven haired guy rolled his eyes as his friends greeted him back without taking their eyes off the bright screen and plopped down inbetween them.
"Very funny." He replied sarcastically.
Neither of them spoke for a some time. Nathan simply stared at the screen before him as the guys continued with their match for another few minutes and then he heard Jake throwing the joystick down on the floor with a grump while Lucas laughed loudly.
"You will never be able to defeat me dude. Not even in your dreams."
"Whatever!" Jake turned to Nathan, staring at him for a long time. "What's up with you man? Are you feeling okay?"
Nathan rolled his eyes yet again at his friend's mock behavior. "Yeah man. I'm fine."
Lucas snorted and quickly looked away when Nathan sent him a dirty look.
"What's with your girlfriend asking Peyton and my gir-...I mean Haley to meet her. Is everything alright between you two?"
Lucas studied him with narrow eyes and watched as he hastily averted his gaze. Giving up, he mumbled quietly.
"We had a small fight."
"Brooke wants him to propose to her." Jake added with a smirk.
"What? She wants to get married?" Nathan turned to Lucas with a look of surprise.
"Yeah." Lucas answered.
"Then why don't you do it already? I mean both of you are crazily in love with each other and are already living together. What's the problem?"
"There's no problem at all. I was actually planning to propose tomorrow. I've already got the ring and everything."
"Congratulations man." Jake said and reached across Nathan to give Lucas a man-hug.
"Yeah, congratz." Nathan followed suit.
"Thanks man. What about you Jake? Any plans to ask Peyton to marry ya?"
Jake shrugged, leaning back on the black couch. "I've told her many times that I wanna marry her but she keeps saying that we're still young. I bought the ring a year back but she doesn't know anything about it. I guess I'll just have to wait till she's ready."
"Don't worry man. I'm sure once I propose to Brooke, Peyton will want you to propose to her. She won't be able to stop herself."
"I hope so."
Nathan smiled and patted on Jake's leg reassuringly. He was happy and thrilled for both his friends. It's about time that they asked their respective girls to marry them. They were so lucky to have them. His thoughts travelled to his girl and he pictured Haley and him a few years from now. Married with a little boy. He knew that she was the only one for him.
"What about you, Nate? When are you settling down?" Lucas asked his friend who was lost in his own world, a blissful look marring his features. Nathan was about to answer when Jake pulled something from his pocket that had been hanging out.
"I'll say he's already settled with someone." Jake smirked pulling out the packs of ManForce condoms that had been dangling from
Nathan's pockets.
"What the-"
"Man, I thought you had feelings for Haley and you're screwing some other-" Lucas stopped midway taking in the look on Nathan's face and quickly stood pointing his index finger towards his direction.
"You and Haley. You guys are sleeping with each other! Does that mean you guys are together?"
Nathan smiled and nodded, silently answering his friend.
"Man, that's great. Finally!" Jake sighed in relief. "I don't think I could have managed to live any longer with all the sexual tension between the two of you."
"When did it happen?" Lucas asked, sitting back on his previous spot.
"On the same day that she slapped me for being a jerk."
They laughed and continued with their conversation. Nathan spoke most of the time, answering his friends' questions and then the guys carried on playing NBA live and ordering lunch.
******NH******
"So, Lucas said nothing?"
Brooke shook her head and looked at Haley. "He says he wants to marry me and that he'll be proposing very soon. He asked me to be patient." She whined and then glared at Peyton who snorted.
"Sorry." Peyton apologized as Haley chuckled after taking a bite of the veg burger that she had ordered.
"Lucas loves you Brooke. I'm sure that he already has planned everything. You are being upset for no reason at all."
Brooke nodded while eating a spoonful of her salad. "So, what about you and Nathan?"
Haley took a sip of her drink, swallowing the food down her throat.
"What about us?" She asked back, trying to act confused and nonchalant. Peyton raised her eyebrows, looking at her pointedly.
"Oh please, Hales. Doin't give us that look. Brooke and I already know that you guys are together."
Haley's eyes almost bulged out and she choked on her drink, spitting a small amount of liquid on the table. The girls laughed at her reaction and offered her some tissue papers to clean up.
"How do you guys-" Haley trailed off, still reeling from the shock. How could they possibly know?
"We aren't naive, Haley. The way you and Nathan kept looking at each other yesterday with goofy grins plus all the intimate touches and caresses between you two when you guys thought that the rest of us weren't watching. It was all so obvious." Brooke stated brightly.
"Not to mention, the giddy look on your face when you got here. It was as if-" Peyton paused as something clicked inside her head. She looked at Brooke whose eyes went wide.
"You guys had sex!"
Haley blushed and looked down when people sitting on the other tables looked towards their direction.
"Oh my God, you totally did." Brooke squealed noticing her blonde haired friend's face turning a deep shade of red.
"Will you lower your damn volume? People are staring at us." Haley hissed at the brunette.
"Sorry." Brooke aplogized, smiling sheepishly.
"So, how was it?" Peyton nudged her and chuckled when Haley blushed again, hiding her face with her hands.
"It was out of the world." She answered dreamily.
"We are so happy for you, Hales. Congratulations."
Haley smiled, nodding at her friends as they all continued to eat their food and chatting animatedly with one another.
******NH******
Haley squealed when Nathan lifted her up and locked the door behind them.
"Nathan-"
He joined their mouths together in a desperate kiss, preventing her from speaking any further. He took long strides and made way towards his bedroom but stopped and turned when she mumbled against his lips- "My room".
Falling on the bed together and making fast work of removing their clothes, he wasted no time in grabbing the condom and rolling it over his aching cock and slid into her easily in the very next second.
"Oh Fuck!" He growled as she arched her back and rotated her hips, taking him deeper inside of her warm and tight body. Rolling them so that she was now on top, he crawled further up on her bed and continued to thrust up into her.
Haley rested both her hands on his chest for leverage and bounced on top of him. She moaned when he palmed her breasts, tugging and pinching her nipples and sending jolts of pleasant shock throughout her body.
"Nathan...ooh... that feel so good." She moaned falling on top of him and kissing him hungrily.
Wrapping his hands around her body, he broke the kiss and buried his face into her neck, moving inside of her at a frantic pace. He could feel both their naked bodies shuddering in intense pleasure, a sign of their impending orgasm. Reaching between their sweaty bodies, he stroked her clit with his thumb and index finger and immediately felt her muscles spasming around his cock.
"Oh my God!" Haley screamed as she climaxed with an incredible force and clutched on to the sheets on either side of his head as he fought to reach his own climax. Pressing numerous kisses on his jaw and cheek, she whispered things into his ear that she thought would help him go all the way. Those dirty, illicit words coming out from her sexy mouth had Nathan hurtling over the edge and triggering yet another orgasm from her.
He turned rolling them to their sides and pressed his face into her neck, stroking her hair, her back, over her buttocks and back up again.
"I love you." She whispered and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"I love you too." He smiled as they both stared lovingly at each other, caressing and sharing chaste kisses. He disposed the used condom and turned back to look at her.
"Are you tired?"
"Is that a trick question?" He laughed shaking his head and pounced on top of her like an animal. She giggled and tried to move but he had already trapped her tiny body with his large one.
He reached out for another pack and Haley groaned. "I'm gonna get on the pill. I hate that thing. I want to feel you inside me without any barrier."
"Me too." He whispered and slid into her once again as they both sighed and lost into the exquisite and incredible feeling of each other being joined as one.
*******23******
Lying flat on their backs, Nathan and Haley tried to get their heavy breathing back to a sensible and normal speed. They couldn't stop or control themselves from grabbing and jumping onto each other. Both were beyond exhausted and absolutely spent from their non-stop love making session that they had been engaged in, all throughout the evening.
"Wow." Haley drawled weakly and turned sideways to watch Nathan who had his hand draped over his forehead. "Everytime we make love, I swear that it can't get any better than this and then we do it again and I'm proven dead wrong."
Chuckling in a low voice, he looked at her with his infamous smirk gracing his lips.
"I aim to please, babe." He raised his arms and gestured for her to come closer. "Come here."
"Noooo." She whined and winced when she tried to move her legs. "I don't think I am capable of moving any part of my body right now."
"I'm sorry baby." He apologized and then very carefully, lifted and placed her body on top of his.
"Don't be sorry, baby. I enjoyed every bit of it. The pain was worth it." She mumbled kissing his chest.
He pressed kisses into her hair, loving the feeling of her bare breasts pressing into his naked chest. Sighing in satisfaction, he stroked his fingers up and down her smooth back.
"It's a good thing our friends finally know about us."
She smiled and looked up into his eyes by resting her chin on his chest. "I was thinking of telling the girls when I went to meet with them earlier today. But they figured it out on their own."
He chuckled and ducked his head down to kiss her forehead. "I told my mom about us earlier today and I'm more than sure that your mom already got the news from her. So, you should be expecting a call anytime now." As if on cue, her phone started ringing, making her groan loudly.
"Nooooo way... I can't deal with my mom's squealing right now. She's worse than Brooke." Haley whined and scowled at him when she heard him laugh. Getting hold of her phone that had stopped ringing, he quickly typed in a short message and sent it to her mom. Once he was sure that the message had been delivered, he switched it off and threw it on the nearby chair.
"What did you do?" She asked him inquisitively and received a wicked smile in return, mischeif glinting in his eyes blue eyes.
"I sent her a message stating that we were both busy having really very hot sex and that you'd call her later."
"Nathan!" She admonished, hitting him on his chest, absolutely mortified by what he had done. "How could you? Ugghhh! I hate you."
"Hey, you know you love me and knowing Lydia, I'm damn sure that she must be thanking the angels in heaven that we are finally sleeping together."
She sighed in agreement.
"You're right."
After a long and comfortable silence, he glanced at the clock and noticed that it was past midnight. He knew she was still awake, so bending down slightly, he whispered into her ear.
"Merry Christmas, Hales."
She opened her eyes quickly, feeling his warm breath on her neck. "Merry Christmas, Nathan. This is our first Christmas together as a couple." She smiled widely.
He reciprocated her smile with his own and leaned down to press a long and hard kiss on her lips.
"This is just the beginning, baby. From now on until forever, we'll be spending every single ocassion and holiday together, with each other as a couple."
I hope that the above chapter wasn't that bad. I kinda rushed into it since I wanted to post it today itself. Also, I was thinking if I should end this story here or add an epilogue after this. What do you guys think? Please, do let me know of your thoughts in the review section. I am also working on another one shot which I may possibly post before Tuesday. Until then, you guys take care :)
