A Deeper Connection ch29

Three years later and the gang all just had their graduation together. They were all glad to be finished up with college, also knew that they weren't going to see each other every day. This also meant that Nathan and Haley had a few decision to make about their relationship and what would happen next for them.

"So what do you think is next for you and Haley?" Lucas questioned to Nathan.

"I have been thinking about possibly asking her to marry me," he replied softly.

"Wow, that's huge Nathan. Do you think you're ready for marriage?" he questioned to him.

"Well, I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her. So you I would definitely say that I'm ready," he replied to them.

"How does Haley feel on the situation of marriage?" Lucas questioned to him.

"We haven't really actually talked about it," he replied nervously.

"I'm not trying to be awkward. That something you might want to talk about, before you go ahead and just ask her," mouth commented to him.

"Yeah I guess you're right," he replied thinking about what they had said to him.

The girls were all over at Brooke and Haley's dorm just relaxing and chatting with each other. They two were talking about life now that graduation was over. "It's going to be so strange not seeing you girls every day," Haley commented to them.

"There is always the holidays when we are back in Tree Hill," Millie commented to her.

"If we make it back with the way Nathan's basketball will be," she replied to her.

"I'm sure he will get some time off over Christmas," Peyton commented to her with a reassuring smile.

"Hopefully," she spoke with a weak smile.

"So I take that you and Nathan had decided on living together?" Rachel questioned to her.

"Yes, we are going to be in Charlotte for most of the year," she confirmed to her.

"What about marriage?" Brooke questioned to her.

"Um, we haven't really ever talked about it much," she replied to her.

"Would you like to marry him?" Millie questioned to her.

"Yes," she spoke without giving it a second thought.

"Wow that was a quick answer. You definitely are falling hard for him," Peyton commented to her.

"I know we have took or relationship slower than other people. I really feel like Nathan is the person I would to spend my forever with. We have done so well connecting with each other on such a deeper level over the last three years," she confessed to her friends.

"I think you need to have a very important talk with Nathan, so you are both on the same page about everything," Brooke suggested to her.

"yeah, you're right," I'm going to go find him," she spoke getting up and heading out to find him.

I know this was a shorter chapter. I have been sick recently, I thought a short chapter was better than nothing at all. Please review and let me know what you think please.
