I'm back! It didn't take forever to update this time. I have so much stuff to do but I made this my first priority… so I hope you like it :)
"Hales…" Nathan groaned, as he lifted another cardboard box out of a large U-Haul truck. "How many more boxes?"
Haley walked out of their new home in which they were currently starting to unpack, and watched her boyfriend with a smile. "Aww, is my baby tired? I thought you were a big, strong man-" She taunted, a wicked smirk flickering on her lips.
Huffing out a deep breath, Nathan carried the cardboard box into the living room, placing it on the floor before rubbing his sore back. "I am, it's just, I'm kind of tired. It's a lot of work. What the hell do you even have in all those boxes?"
Haley laughed as she came up from behind Nathan and gently rubbed his lower back. They had bought the house a few weeks ago, and couldn't wait to start actually moving in.
She had immediately flown back to California for the weekend and packed up her belongings with the help of her friends, and hired a U-Haul driver to bring her belongings to North Carolina which arrived around three days later.
Now, she and Nathan couldn't wait to start unloading. They had bought various pieces of furniture in the past week, and now they needed to actually unload boxes in order to put them in their respective places. Yet, neither of them anticipated how exhausting it'd be.
"I can help-" Haley whispered in his ear, squeezing his shoulders gently.
"No way." Nathan demanded. "I don't want you to hurt yourself. The boxes are heavy."
Haley rolled her eyes, "Oh my god, you're so over-protective!"
Nathan grinned, turning around slowly, wrapping his arms around her tightly. "I'll never stop protecting you, Hales. It's been my job since I first met you, and it'll be a job I have forever, so get used to it, James."
Haley's pout slowly transformed into a dazzling smile, "Forever, huh?"
Nathan nodded, slowly leaning down and enveloped Haley's lips in a soft kiss. "Always and forever." He winked when he pulled away.
Haley laughed, shoving his shoulder. "You're so cheesy-"
Nathan chuckled along with her. "You love it."
"Mhmm, maybe so." Haley grinned, running one of her hands through her wavy golden brown hair, as the other one circled Nathan's neck. "But I love you more."
"I guess I kind of like you, too." Nathan chuckled.
Haley scoffed lightly, shoving him away from her. "You're just full of funny, today, aren't you?" She retorted sarcastically.
Nathan laughed, "I'm always funny."
"Right…" Haley feigned agreement. "Get back to unloading, mister!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Nathan saluted before walking back outside to finish unloading the truck as Haley tore open the boxes, beginning to decorate the home.
About twenty minutes later, Nathan walked back into the kitchen where Haley was now putting away the silverware, and gently placed the large box onto the counter. "That's the last of 'em." He declared, wiping away a drop of sweat which slowly rolled down his forehead.
"Ooh! Good! I'm so glad I have a strong boyfriend like you." She grinned flirtatiously, stalking back up to him and plopping a sloppy kiss on his lush lips.
Nathan smirked cockily, "And I'm glad I have such a sexy girlfriend-"
Haley's cheeks twinged a hue of tomato red. "You think I'm sexy?" She asked shyly.
"You have no idea…" He continued to smirk as his hand traveled to her lower backside, cupping her firm butt in his large hand. "And you have a serious ass, Haley James."
"Baby!" Haley giggled, "Stop it!"
"What?" He smiled innocently, as he squeezed his hand around her bum. "It's true-"
Her face reddened as she buried her head in the crux of his delicious scented neck. "Sometimes I still can't believe we're a couple…" Haley mumbled contently into his side.
Running his hands soothingly over her back, Nathan agreed with a blissful smile. "I know, but it's great. There's nothing better than being in love with you best friend." He spoke, resting his chin on top of her strawberry scented hair.
Haley looked up and smiled, before pressing a lingering kiss on his lips. "How's your back?" She finally asked, when he winced at the slightest movement.
"It's a bit sore, but I'll be fine, I promise." Nathan shook off in his typical macho-like fashion.
Haley cocked her lips to the side, and sighed, "Well that's too bad, because I was thinking maybe you'd want a massage, but you know, that's okay-" Haley pretended to shake off as she waved her hand through the air.
"Well- it's not perfect!" Nathan protested as he began to chase after her. "In fact, I was hoping maybe you'd carry me upstairs tonight-" He quipped, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, as she shrieked with laughter.
"Carry you?" She giggled, falling back onto the couch, as Nathan carefully collapsed on top of her.
"Nathan!" Haley screamed which soon turned into another fit of laughter when he began tickling her along her body.
"Babe, stop i-it!" She gasped, when his fingertips danced delicately over her smooth skin. "I-I c-can't breathe!"
Slowly retreating his hands away, he swooped down and passionately captured her lips between his.
Haley moaned at the immediate contact of his tongue swirling with hers, as she ran her foot up his calf in a sensual motion. Nathan's hands gently mapped her torso, continuing to kiss the sweet spot under her ear, causing yet another moan to emit from her throat.
"God, Nathan!" Haley shouted blissfully when he began to suck on the skin, as she hastily ran her fingers over his chiseled six pack, desperately pulling off his white t-shirt.
"Hello, is anyone ho- OH MY GOD!" Nathan and Haley swiftly pulled away at the sound of the familiar voice.
"Mom!" Haley shouted with abashment, "What are you doing here?"
"The door was open. I wanted to see how you guys were doing, but I guess this just answered my question. Sorry, for interrupting. I'll just see myself out so you can continue christing the house-" Lydia James
Nathan slid his t-shirt over his head, as Haley's skin ignited with a burning embarrassment. "Why is it that everytime we make out, our moms have to walk in?" She whispered flusteredly.
Nathan chuckled sardonically, "It's like they know what we're doing-"
Haley groaned again when Lydia stood in the entryway with a dreamy smile. "You guys are just so precious!"
"Ugh, Mom!" Haley scolded. "Nathan and I bought a house so we can have privacy-"
"Oh, that's right. Sorry, honey. Carry on-"
Haley stood up and flattened out her clothing of any wrinkles. "It's okay, Mom. You should stay." She said more gently.
Lydia's blue eyes narrowed at her daughter, playfully, as her voice fell to a quiet whisper. "I think I should leave so you and Nathan can…"
Haley blushed again, "We weren't… I mean… I, um… we haven't…" She stammered shyly.
"Oh for heaven's sake, Haley Bob!" Lydia threw her hands up in the air with dismay. "Have sex already! I mean really, what are you waiting for? We all know you're going to get married one day, and you've known each other since forever. Really! Don't make the poor guy wait-"
"MOM!" Haley shrieked. "Oh my god... I am never telling you anything again!"
Lydia laughed loudly, "I'm your mother. I find out everything whether you tell me or not…"
Haley groaned, throwing her head back in dismay.
"-Which you will know one day when when you become a mom, but in order for that to happen, you must have se-" Lydia continued to rant, before Haley cut her off.
"Okay, I get it!" She screeched loudly. "You're unbelievable!"
Nathan heard the small mother-daughter tiff and decided to intervene. "What's going on?" He asked gently, wrapping his strong arms around Haley's petite waist.
"Nothing-" Haley lied, feigning innocence.
With a stern look directed towards Haley, Lydia placed her hands on her hips.
"I was just telling Haley that she's a damn fool for making you wait to for sex for so long-"
Haley let out another humiliated groan, and hid her face in the confine's on Nathan's strong chest.
"Mom, please stop-" She pleaded.
"Mrs. James, with all due respect, you know how much I love your daughter, and I'd never pressure her into doing something she's not ready for-"
"Well when the hell will you be ready? You're twenty four years old, and you've known Nathan your whole life!"
In any other situation, Haley would have laughed at the irony. Most mother's would normally talk their children out of having sex… oh, but not Haley's mom- no. She was too concerned with actually trying to talk them into making love….
"Mrs. James, if Haley wants to wait, I'm okay with that. I love her more than anything, and-"
"Yada, yada, yada!" Lydia chirped, cutting Nathan off. "I know how much you love her, I'm just saying I think you should get the ball rolling! This house is huge, and you're not getting any younger. I need grandbabies-"
"MOM!" Haley scolded, "I am done having this conversation with you! Nathan and I are taking it one step at a time. Please be patient-"
Rolling her eyes, Lydia clacked her lips together, "I've been patient for nearly twenty years!"
"What do you want from us?" Haley argued. "Nathan and I are enjoying our relationship, and are both content with how things are right now. We just moved in together so it's going to be a while before we decide to take the next step-"
"Fine." Lydia huffed. "I guess I can wait a little longer-"
Haley looked up at a chuckling Nathan and hugged him tightly. "Well in the meantime, Haley and I are inviting a few people over tomorrow night for a housewarming party, and we'd love it if you and Mr. James could come-" Nathan spoke with a sweet smile.
"Of course!" Lydia agreed within seconds.
"Great, it starts at seven-"
"I can't wait!" Lydia gushed. "I better get going…" She spoke after a small silence. "And Haley remember what I said about christening the house-"
"GOODBYE!" Haley called out loudly after her, as she slammed the front door shut and glared at her chuckling boyfriend.
"You have to admit, she's really funny-" Nathan explained with another laugh.
Haley crossed her arms over her chest, pretending to laugh. "Oh yeah, just hysterical." She spat sarcastically.
Nathan approached Haley and placed a quick kiss on her forehead. "She and my mom are our biggest fans-"
Haley giggled as she cocked her eyebrow up at Nathan. "So you're okay with your mom watching us make out?"
Nathan shifted uncomfortably, "Well… no-"
"Exactly." Haley grinned, leaning on her tip toes to kiss Nathan's lips.
"Point taken-" Nathan smirked.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god-" Haley shouted as she rushed around the kitchen in a fit of panic.
"What happened?" Nathan asked as he casually strolled in, with no shirt on.
Haley looked up from the stove and glared at him. "Great! You're not even ready! Our guests will be here in less than fifteen minutes and nothing is ready! Oh my god, I don't know what I was thinking-"
Coming up from behind her, Nathan wrapped his arms around her in attempt to relax her. "Shh, baby, everything is fine. It smells delicious in here, and I know everything will taste great-"
"Easy for you to say-" Haley mumbled.
"Relax, Hales. It'll take me five minutes to get ready. You look beautiful by the way-" He smiled when his eyes finally digested her appearance. Haley's hair was pulled tightly into a neat bun atop her head, and she wore a red sundress which did wonders for her figure.
"Ugh, no I don't! I'm a mess-"
She was cut off from her rant when Nathan's lips pressed against hers in a passionate kiss.
Letting out a moan of surprise, Haley quickly forgot about her lack of time and threw her arms around Nathan's neck, getting lost in the wonders of his kiss.
"Whoa! Kinky!" Haley heard the unmistakably raspy voice of Brooke Davis call out.
Jumping back from Nathan, Haley's eyes widened in horror. "Brooke! Julian! What are you doing here?"
"Well you invited us over, and we knocked on the door but no one answered and the door was unlocked so…" Julian explained slightly uncomfortably.
"Damn it! We have got to start locking the door." Nathan grumbled.
"You know what? We'll just come back when you're done. Sorry for interrupting-" Brooke quipped. "Carry on, tutor-slut and boytoy…"
"Hey! What's going on? And why is Nathan shirtless?" Peyton called out as she and Lucas strolled into the kitchen hand in hand.
"Oh god… ew…." Lucas gagged. "I don't think I want to know-"
Brooke grinned, "We just walked in on Nathan and Haley about to have sex on the counter-"
"Oh my god!" Haley shrieked. "We were just kissing!"
"Yeah but let's face it, if we didn't walk in, you'd be going at it right now like dogs in heat!" Brooke squealed.
Nathan laughed loudly, as he ran his hands down Haley's sides.
"I hate you." Haley mouthed to him with abashment, as he smirked sexily.
"Love you too, babe." He whispered as she pushed him on his chest.
"Go get ready, dammit!" She demanded, desperately trying to move on from this topic.
"Okay, okay, sorry." Nathan grinned. "Be right back." He excused himself from his guests and disappeared up the stairs.
"So the house looks amazing, Hales." Haley was unbelievably grateful for Lucas's change in topic, and smiled as she continued to stir the pot of sauce she was cooking on the stove.
"It's beautiful. Congratulations." Peyton added.
"Yeah, congrats." Julian smiled. "This house is great."
"I love it! It's just so Naley!" Brooke gushed, taking in the sight of the large kitchen.
Haley laughed, "Thanks guys, we really appreciate it."
Once Haley was done preparing the food, the group found themselves venturing into the newly decorated living room, which of course Brooke obsessed over.
She could hardly believe it when Haley told her that Nathan picked out some of the decorations. Nathan strolled in cockily and smirked proudly. "What can I say? I have good taste."
Haley loved the fact that Nathan actually wanted to take part in shopping for the house. Most of the time it was the women who decorated houses, and the men couldn't care less, but not Nathan. He was an active participant, and Haley loved him even more for it.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Nathan jumped up from his pot on the couch to open the door. He smiled when he greeted Haley's parents as well as his mom.
"Hey guys, we're glad you made it, thanks for coming-"
"Oh my god, Nate! This house is extravagant! I wanna see everything!" Deb gushed immediately, as she looked around the entryway with approval.
Haley soon made her presence known and greeted the newly arrived guests. Her and Nathan then separated in order to give everyone a 'tour' of their home.
Nathan eagerly showed the guys his workout room, as well as the garage, while Haley led the girls upstairs to show them the bedrooms.
"This is one of the guest rooms, but it's not finished yet-" Haley explained as she opened a door which led to a medium sized room with white walls.
Deb pushed her way into the room and clapped, "Oh this is wonderful! Lydia, look! I can totally see it as the baby's room. We could paint it blue and the crib could go against that wall-"
"What?" Brooke shrieked. "What baby?" Her eyes doubled when she looked over at Haley's flat stomach. "Haley, is there something you're not telling us-?"
"Are you pregnant?" Peyton questioned loudly.
"Who's pregnant?" Jimmy James asked as he rounded the corner to find the group of women in the guest room.
"What? Someone's pregnant?" Nathan asked.
"Haley's pregnant!" Brooke screamed. "Oh my god!"
"Haley's pregnant?" Lucas retorted with surprise etched on his features.
Haley threw her hands up in the air, as her face shaded to a vibrant red color. "For the love of God, I'm not pregnant!"
"...Yet." Lydia added with a playful grin.
"You guys are all delusional." Haley added sternly, "Nathan and I are just dating, and we want to enjoy our new home before anything else-"
"But you do plan on having babies right?" Deb interrogated. "Because your children would be absolutely perfect!"
"I know! I totally agree!" Brooke cooed. "A little boy with Nathan's eyes and Haley's light hair! How cute would that be?"
"Or a little girl with Haley's eyes and Nathan's smile!" Peyton threw in with a dreamy smile.
Haley groaned loudly as Nathan comforted her in his arms, "I knew we should have moved to Charlotte."
So that was a pretty fluffy chapter because next chapter will be Nathan leaving for training so it'll be sad for them :(
Thanks for reading and all your kind reviews! I hope to have another update by next week. Stay tuned! :) xo
