Hey guys, thank you all for the wonderful reviews! I really appreciate them. I know that there are some of you who want Naley to reveal their feelings now and others who are glad that they're waiting. In this chapter, you'll get to see where Nathan is at in terms of his emotions. So I hope you like it, please reveiw, and enjoy Haley's crazy family! Lol!

Chapter 37

Chaos. That was the only word that Nathan could use to best describe the James household at the moment.

"Clara, stop running around this instant!" Haley's sister Quinn shouted.

"Henry, I told you to stop trying to eat the tinsel on the tree!" Haley's brother Matt scolded. "You could choke and die!"

"I want my binky!" little Janine cried in another room. I feel a headache coming on already, Nathan thought.

"God, I hate kids," Haley's other sister Taylor muttered next to him. She had a beer in her hand and was chugging it down like water. Oh yeah, Haley was right. Her family is quite a handful. Matt and his wife Gina had been the first ones to arrive early that morning. They had three kids. At first, eight-year-old Molly, five-year-old Henry, and four-year-old Annie had all seemed angelic. They sat quietly on the couch and played with the toys they'd brought with them while all the adults talked, and Nathan was introduced to them. That was until Quinn and her husband Tom came an hour later with their four kids. As soon as eight-year-old Tommy Jr., seven-year-old Samantha, four-year-old Clara, and two-year-old Janine walked through the door, all hell broke loose. The kids spotted their cousins and started to run around like crazy and shrieking loudly. But it didn't stop there.

It wasn't long before Haley's wild sister Taylor arrived. Nathan's jaw almost dropped in shock when he answered the door to see her in a barely there black skirt, high-heeled boots, and a tiny jacket that opened up just enough so that you could see all her pushed up cleavage under her shirt. The instant her eyes landed on him Taylor had given him the once over and smiled seductively. Nathan wasn't surprised when Haley swooped in and made up some excuse that she needed help with something so he would get away from her. He didn't mind, either. Taylor definitely looked like trouble. And she certainly caused it by sneaking all the kids junk food earlier. That's why they were now off the walls.

"Come on, Tommy. Knock it off," Haley's other brother Chris pled as he trudged by. Tommy had wrapped himself securely around his leg and refused to let go.

"Now that is why God created birth control," Taylor stated as she took another swig of her beer.

"Nathan, have you seen a small, pink blanket anywhere?" Haley asked as she entered the living room with a crying Janine in her arms. Man does that two year old have a set of lungs, he thought as she screeched again.

"Um, no," he replied. He then started to help her look. He just wanted the crying to stop.

"Actually, I think it was in my room last. Nathan, did you want to come help me look? It'll go much faster," Taylor suggested. Haley stopped what she was doing and glared at her sister. Taylor just gave her an innocent smile. Nathan chose to ignore her comment all together and continued to look for the blanket.

"Haley Bop, I found it!" Vivian shouted as she joined them. She then turned to Janine and handed her the blanket. "Here you go, sweetie." The little girl instantly stopped crying as she grabbed it from her aunt.

"Vivian, what did you do with the gumdrops for the gingerbread house?" Lydia called from the kitchen.

"I've got to go help her. She'll never find them in that mess," Vivian said before taking off. Haley still stood there looking at her sister disapprovingly when Nathan felt something brush past his leg. He looked down to see Annie toddle by him.

"Auntie Haley, I have to go to da bathwoom," she announced.

"Where's Gina?" Haley asked looking around.

"I think she's busy," Nathan told her as he pointed past her to the Christmas tree. She and Matt were trying to force Henry's mouth open before he swallowed anymore tinsel.

"Great," Haley muttered. "Taylor, could you…"

"Oh, look. I'm out of beer. Gotta go get a refill," she said before taking off.

"Ugh, I could strangle her," Haley fumed.

"Auntie Haley!" Annie cried as she crossed her legs to hold it in.

"Nathan, could you please hold her?" Haley asked as she started to pass him Janine. "I'll only be a couple of minutes."

"Um…sure," he replied uneasily as he held the little girl in his arms.

"Whatever you do, don't drop that blanket," she advised before grabbing Annie's hand and leading her quickly to the bathroom. Nathan stood there awkwardly as he held Janine. He was never really that big on kids. He looked down and saw her give him a toothy grin.

"Hi!" Samantha shouted as she pulled on the leg of Nathan's jeans. He turned his gaze to the bubbly little girl.

"Hi," he replied with what he hoped was a warm smile.

"Are you my new Uncle Nathan?" she asked.

"Um…" he said—not knowing quite how to answer.

"Grandma said you were," she added.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Do you like Rudolph?" she questioned a second later.

"Sure," he stated going along with it.

"Will you watch the movie with me?" she asked as she picked up the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer DVD on the coffee table. "It's my favorite but no one will watch it with me. They're all busy."

"Um…ok," he finally agreed. He really didn't want another screaming kid running around. The house was loud enough as it was.

"Awesome!" she exclaimed happily. "I don't know how to put it in, though."

"I can do it," Nathan offered as he took the DVD from her. Samantha then raced to the couch excitedly as Nathan balanced Janine on his arm and went over to the DVD player. He put the disk in and then turned on the TV. It took him a minute or two to figure out what channel it had to be on in order to see the movie.

"Come sit next to me, Uncle Nathan," Samantha requested. Nathan walked over to the couch and took a seat. There was a small distance between them but Samantha moved closer to him. Nathan went to put Janine down next to him on the other side but her little hands clung to his shirt and he couldn't get her off.

"Stay," was all she said. Nathan sighed and twisted her around so that she, too, could see the TV.

"Hey, what are you watching?" Tommy asked as he walked up to them from behind the couch.

"Rudolph," Samantha answered.

"Cool. That movie is awesome." Tommy then took a seat on the couch to Nathan's right.

"I want to watch Rudolph!" Henry exclaimed from nearby. He quickly spat out the tinsel in his mouth and ran past his parents to sit next to Tommy. It wasn't long before Molly and Clara joined in on the action and sat next to Samantha to watch.

"Nathan, you are a lifesaver," Matt declared as he walked behind the couch and gave him a pat on the back.

"Thanks, Nathan," Gina said as she walked into the kitchen. "Maybe now I can get something done."

"No problem," he sighed. It wasn't his original intention to be a babysitter but that's what seemed to have happened. At least the house was quieter now that the kids were watching the movie. The only sounds that could be heard were the clanking of pots in the kitchen, and Jimmy and the others fixing up the house for the party with the relatives tomorrow night.

"Oh, he's so cute," Molly commented as baby Rudolph made an appearance on the screen. Nathan turned his attention to the movie and started to watch it. It had been a long time since he saw this one.

"Come watch it with us, Auntie Haley," Henry requested. Nathan looked to his right and saw Haley standing off to the side holding Annie. Their eyes locked and Haley gave him a dazzling smile.

"Is there any room?" she asked.

"We'll make room," Nathan quickly said as Haley laughed softly. The couch was already full but he was determined to make her fit. Henry scooted as close to Tommy as he could. It was still a pretty tight space so Henry ended up sitting on Haley's lap along with Annie.

"So, how did you pull this off?" Haley whispered to Nathan with a smile.

"I have no idea," Nathan laughed. Haley nudged him playfully.

"Uncle Nathan, look. His nose is going to glow," Samantha said.

"Ssshhh, you're ruining it," Tommy scolded. Samantha then leaned over Nathan and stuck her tongue out at her brother. He did the same a second later.

"Come on, guys. Be nice," Haley said. "Just concentrate on the movie." The two siblings settled back in their seats and turned their attention to the TV, once again. Nathan, however, kept his gaze on Haley. She smiled as Henry whispered something in her ear. Annie seemed to hear it and started giggling. Nathan couldn't help but notice how Haley practically glowed as she interacted with her niece and nephew. She definitely had that whole maternal thing going on. And it suited her well. He felt a small pang in his stomach at the sight. Haley was always so loving and caring. This moment definitely attributed to that.

As they continued to watch the movie, Haley could feel Nathan's piercing blue eyes on her. But she didn't dare look over at him. She had practically melted into a puddle on the floor when she first saw him sitting down with all the kids. She saw how uneasy he was when she handed him Janine. He didn't seem to be that comfortable when it came to children. But Haley thought the opposite. Nathan seemed to be a natural. The way he was holding little Janine and talking to Samantha right now, it warmed her heart and made her fall even harder for him. Ugh, I'm so screwed. Her thoughts were then interrupted by a bright flash.

"Mom!" Haley exclaimed as she now started to blink dots. I swear I'm going to be blind by the end of this trip. Her mom seemed to be taking pictures of everyone—especially her and Nathan—every two seconds.

"What? You all looked so adorable. It's like a glimpse into the future," Lydia stated.

"Mom!" Haley warned as she blushed. Nathan smirked next to her. Haley was too cute when she was embarrassed. And Lydia was definitely good at being the source of it.

"It does look like a Hallmark moment," Vivian agreed as she walked into the living room.

"Sssshhh," Tommy said. "You're ruining the good part."

"Oh, sorry, sweetie," Lydia replied. "Don't mind Grandma. I'll just be in the kitchen." She then took one more quick snapshot before taking off.

"Mom!" Haley shouted again as Vivian and Nathan laughed. It's official, that camera's days are numbered…

"What?"

"Do you know where Haley is?"

"What?"

"I said, do you know where Haley is?" Nathan repeated getting annoyed. This was like the fifth time that Nathan had asked the man. It was Christmas Eve, and the James house was packed with people. The party was in full swing, and he knew that Haley was around there somewhere. She had originally been in the kitchen helping Lydia with the food for the buffet table he and Jimmy had set up earlier. But now, she was nowhere to be found.

"Wait, what?" Well, it looks like I've located Uncle Norman.

"Never mind," Nathan said loudly and started to walk away. He wouldn't get anything out of him—even if he did try talking to him in his good ear.

"WHAT?" he heard Uncle Norman shout behind him. Nathan just ignored him as he proceeded to weave through the people. He banged into some young kid and apologized before continuing his search.

"Ah, Nathan, there you are!" Jimmy exclaimed. "Come over here. I want you to meet some people." Nathan walked over to Jimmy and joined the group. He introduced him to some more of the cousins. They chatted for a few minutes until Nathan thought he finally spotted Haley in the dining room. He politely excused himself before heading in that direction.

"Hales," he called trying to catch up to her. He almost did until a very drunken Taylor crossed his path.

"Nathan, my favorite brother-in-law!" she exclaimed as she threw her arms around him.

"Not now, Taylor," he said as he tried to push her away. She just tightened her arms around his neck.

"What's the hurry?" she asked slurring slightly. "It's a party. You're supposed to relax."

"I need to find Haley," Nathan stated. He'd tried to avoid Taylor as much as he could ever since she arrived yesterday. Haley was right when she said her sister was difficult. As far as Nathan was concerned, she was just as hard to deal with as the kids. The fact that she couldn't seem to leave him alone just made it even more annoying.

"What? You don't like me?" she pouted. He didn't answer as he tried to pry her off of him. He didn't want anyone seeing this and thinking that there was something going on.

"Oh, I get it! You do like me. You just don't want to hurt Haley's feelings. It's ok. I can keep a secret."

"Trust me, that's not it," Nathan denied. It took another minute but he was finally able to get away from her. He then quickly bolted out of the dining room. He checked the kitchen, living room, and study but he still couldn't find her. It was then that he decided to check upstairs. But before he could even make it to the staircase, Nathan, all of a sudden, felt a pinch on his ass. He figured it must be Taylor and turned around prepared to yell at her. But it wasn't her. Instead, it was a little old woman behind him who barely reached the height of his chest. Her white hair was up in a bun and she wore a very bright, red sequin top with a long black skirt. Her two front teeth were covered in red lipstick and her perfume smelled so strong that Nathan was positive it could wake the dead.

"How are you doing, hot stuff?" she asked in her squeaky voice. Nathan stared at her in utter shock. And this must be Grandma Brigard. Great, he thought sarcastically. That's a first. I don't think that I've ever been assaulted by the elderly.

"Well, are you going to stand there all day or are you going to answer me, stud?" she persisted while running a finger down his chest. Oh, hell no. Run!

"Yeah, I gotta go," Nathan declared as he swiftly turned around and bolted up the stairs. That had to be the scariest and most screwed up encounter he'd ever had with a woman in his whole entire life. Nathan headed straight for Haley's room—anxious to get away from the madness. He opened the door and was relieved to see Haley there lying on her bed.

"Whoa, where's the fire?" Haley laughed when she saw Nathan practically run into her room.

"I have been to Hell and back looking for you," he stated as he shut the door behind him and locked it. Nathan then walked over to the bed and laid down beside her.

"I told you my relatives were intense," Haley said. That's why she was hiding in her room. She had desperately needed to get away. If Haley had to hear one more story about Uncle Joe's back operation or Cousin Cecil's hysterectomy, she was going to lose it.

"Insane is more like it," he retorted as he began to rub his temples.

"Sorry," she replied sympathetically. She turned on her left side so that she could face him.

"It's not your fault. Besides, I'd rather be here with your relatives than mine." It was the truth. All of Haley's wacky relatives combined were still not as bad as being home with his parents for Christmas.

"So, what happened to you?" Haley asked curiously. Nathan then shifted on his side so that he could face her.

"You first," Nathan stated as he moved closer and brought his hand to her hip. Haley was wearing a knee-length, red strapless dress. The material felt like silk and it framed the curves of her body perfectly. Nathan had been itching to touch it all night but never got the chance since they were both rushing around to help get the house ready for the party. He had also noticed the more prominent curls in her hair and the bright red lipstick she had on to match the dress. She looked absolutely gorgeous to say the very least.

"Oh, um, the usual," Haley said as she tried to think of what she wanted to say. Nathan's thumb had started to draw imaginary circles on her stomach and hip. Meanwhile, his other fingers started to slide against the smooth material of her dress. It was proving to be more than a little distracting.

"Which would be?" Nathan prodded.

"Just my uncles, aunts, and cousins complaining about health problems, money issues, and relationships. I also heard Aunt Cookie mutter something about the cake I made being too dry," she said—frowning at that last part. "Personally, I thought it came out pretty good. If it's too moist it might implode." Nathan laughed at the pout on her face.

"I tried it, and I thought it was excellent," he assured her.

"You're not just saying that?" Haley asked suspiciously.

"No, it was the best spice cake I've ever tasted."

"How many have you tried?"

"Well, that was my first but I'm sure it would still be the best," he joked. Haley rolled her eyes but smiled anyway.

"Well, thank you," she replied as she leaned closer and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Anytime," he smirked.

"Now, tell me what my wacky relatives did to you," Haley requested as she snuggled even closer so that their chests were almost touching. Nathan's hand then moved from her waist to her back.

"Well, let's see, Aunt Cookie pushed me out of the way earlier while I helped your mom put the food on the table. I caught your Cousin Freddie trying to swipe my wallet while I was talking to Vivian. Later on, I ran into Uncle Norman. I asked him a few times if he'd seen you but all he would say is 'what?' Then after that, I had an interesting encounter with your drunken sister Taylor. And finally, on my way upstairs to your bedroom, Grandma Brigard pinched my ass and proceeded to hit on me." Haley put a hand over her mouth as she tried to stifle a laugh but it didn't work. She was cracking up.

"Go ahead and laugh. I hope you realize that this is all your fault," Nathan accused teasingly.

"What?! How?!" Haley exclaimed

"You promised on the plane that you'd protect me and you didn't. I now have serious psychological trauma. Do you know what it's like to have a geriatric manhandle you?" Nathan inquired with a straight face. Haley laughed again despite her best efforts not to.

"No, I don't believe I do," she answered.

"Well, it's not fun. It's going to take years of therapy for me to get over this one."

"Really? Years of therapy?" Haley questioned amused.

"Yup."

"Oh," she commented with a casual shrug. She then lifted her head to whisper in his ear, "Because I was maybe thinking that I could help with that." Nathan automatically felt his throat get dry and his heart speed up. Is it just me or did it suddenly get extremely hot in here?

"Well, what did you have in mind?" he asked huskily. Haley didn't answer. She simply gave him one of her innocent, yet completely sexy, smiles before touching her lips to his neck. A jolt immediately went through Nathan's body at the contact. He had not expected her to do that. But he wasn't going to complain. They'd both been busy the last couple of days with her siblings arriving and getting ready for the party. He'd started to miss her. And Haley's hot, wet mouth on his skin felt amazing right now. She managed to work her way to his Adam's apple. Nathan felt her tongue brush over it tantalizingly before sucking on it. He involuntarily groaned, and his grip on her waist tightened further.

"Feel better yet?" she questioned softly as her lips trailed up to the underside of his jaw.

"Maybe a little," Nathan said gruffly. Her kisses were seriously pushing him over the edge. When they were together, it was usually him who took the lead. But an assertive Haley was definitely hott, too.

"Hmm, I guess I'll just have to try harder then," she declared in a teasing tone. Her small hand slid up his broad chest and grabbed onto his tie. She pulled on it drawing him even closer to her before her lips took possession of his. The kiss was slow at first but quickly began to heat up. Haley was still in full control but after awhile, Nathan couldn't take it anymore. In one swift motion, he managed to flip Haley onto her back with him on top. She gasped but his mouth on hers muffled it.

Haley's body now felt like it was on fire. As Nathan's tongue explored the crevices of her mouth, his hands kept sliding up and down the sides of her body. She hadn't originally planned on having a full on make out session with him. After her near confession the other day, Haley had been very careful around him. She had actually welcomed the constant distractions her family's presence had provided recently. It kept her mind from drifting to Nathan and her ever growing feelings for him. But when she'd seen him in his white, button-down shirt, black dress pants, and red tie, she couldn't help but notice how incredibly handsome he looked. And now that they actually had a moment to themselves in all the madness, she just couldn't resist.

"Mmm…Nathan," she sighed when his lips—and occasionally teeth—grazed her neck. One of Haley's hands slid up to his hair to keep his head in place while the other remained on his shoulder. She moaned again when he started to suck on her sensitive spot just under her chin. But despite the intense pleasure she was experiencing, Haley felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted Nathan closer but the hem of her dress was on the tight side. As a result, she couldn't really get her legs in a comfortable position. They were just limp—laying directly under his. She tried to spread them a little but the dress, once again, held them firmly in place. Nathan's mouth returned to hers as he felt Haley shift under him for the third time in the last five minutes.

"What's the matter?" he asked against her lips.

"Nothing," she answered. But he felt her move again a minute later.

"Hales?" he questioned—this time pulling away slightly.

"It's just this damn dress," she said frustrated. "It's too constricting." They always look nice on the rack but they sure are a pain in the ass to wear, she thought. Nathan looked down and saw her trying to wriggle her legs.

"I can take care of that," he said with a smirk before lowering his mouth back to hers. Before Haley could even ask what he meant by that, she felt Nathan's hands glide down her body to grip her thighs. She felt a wave of pleasure shoot through her as his hands then began to slide back up—pulling the hem of her dress with them. Haley's grip on his shoulders tightened as she felt her heart start to hammer in her chest. He stopped once it was almost at the top of her thighs. As if instinctually, Haley's legs shot up to wrap around his waist. Nathan groaned when he felt their lower bodies connect and began to kiss Haley more fervently. One hand remained on her thigh as the other wove itself into her honey tresses. He knew that he should probably stop before he completely lost control. He was sure that Haley wasn't ready for this yet. But the feeling of her under him and kissing back with the same amount of passion and desire was clouding his judgment.

But it wasn't all just physical. His emotions were playing a large part, too. Nathan really, really liked Haley. He'd already developed feelings for her that he'd never experienced with any other woman. The extent of those feelings, however, still remained somewhat of a mystery to him. This was all new territory for him. The great Nathan Scott never let himself get so attached before. There was always some type of emotional barrier that he had up to shield himself from getting in too deep. Haley, however, constantly seemed to break right through it. It was very unnerving but could also be exhilarating—like right now, for example. As they continued to get completely wrapped up in each other there on her bed, Nathan started to experience emotions on a whole new level. His heart ached with an unyielding passion for her. Almost to the point where he felt like it would explode. But before he could even really analyze the source of this strong feeling, a soft knock sounded on the door.

"Auntie Haley, are you in there?" Samantha's bubbly voice asked. The two involuntarily groaned as they tore their lips away from each other—breathing heavily. Their gazes remained locked for a second before Nathan shut his eyes and buried his face in Haley's neck. It was taking every ounce of strength in him to get his body back under control. As if sensing this, one of Haley's hands came up to the back of his head and began caress his hair soothingly.

She took a few deep, calming breaths of her own before calling back, "What is it, sweetie?"

"I've been looking for you everywhere. Grandma wants you to come back downstairs and show your ring to everyone," she answered. "Aunt Cookie said something about it not looking that big." I really do loathe Aunt Cookie, Haley thought with a disgruntled sigh

"Ok, I'll be right down."

"And do you know where Uncle Nathan is? Uncle Bill is looking for him, too," she added. "He, Uncle Chris, Uncle Matt, Cousin Joe, and Grandpa made some bet about basketball."

"Um, don't worry. I'll find him," Haley said. "You just go back downstairs and enjoy the party."

"Ok," she replied. Haley then heard her walking away a few seconds later.

"Are you ok?" Haley asked Nathan.

"Yeah," he answered as he pulled his head away from her neck and rolled off of her. It was slightly painful at first but he finally managed to get his body somewhat back to normal. He then stood up and tried to fix his tie—which had somehow come undone during their previous activities. He didn't dare look over at Haley as she got up and pulled the hem of her dress back down. Just the sight of her soft, smooth thighs would be enough to send him into another frenzy.

Haley quickly walked over to the mirror on her dresser and tried to make herself look more presentable. Her lipstick was fully gone and her hair was in complete disarray. It took her a few minutes to freshen up. When she looked over at Nathan, she saw him still struggling with his tie. She'd already showed him how to do it countless times but he still couldn't grasp it.

"Let me do it," Haley said as she walked over to him. She moved his hands out of the way and proceeded to fix it.

"Thanks," he stated when she was done.

"You're welcome," she replied and smiled when she got a good look at his face.

"What?" he asked at seeing her amused expression.

"You just have a little lipstick on you," Haley answered while suppressing a laugh. Nathan gave her a suspicious look as he went to go stand in front of her mirror.

"Aw, crap," he muttered at his reflection. Not only were his lips and most of the area around his mouth red, but his neck also had the imprints of her lips on it, too. Nathan quickly tried to rub it off but his skin still seemed to be red.

"Hales," he groaned as she laughed out loud. "This isn't funny."

"Yes, it is," she replied.

"I can't go back down there looking like freaking Bozo the Clown," he protested.

"Just what are you trying to say about my lipstick, Scott?" she asked playfully—still laughing.

"Nothing. It looks great on you. But on me, it's just wrong," he defended.

"Uh huh," she said before grabbing a bottle of liquid off of her dresser. She then got a large cotton pad and poured some on it.

"What's that stuff?" Nathan questioned cautiously as she moved towards him with the pad.

"Makeup remover," she answered. "Now hold still. I don't want to get this on you and ruin your shirt." Nathan did as he was told. When he looked back in the mirror a few minutes later, he was relieved to see that she'd gotten all the lipstick off.

"You are trouble," Nathan commented teasingly when she turned around to face him after putting the bottle back and throwing the pad in the nearby garbage.

"What?" Haley chuckled.

"First, we talk. Then, you lure me in. Next, you seduce me with that red dress and those lips of yours until I can't even see straight. Then, you mark me all up with your lipstick. And now, you're standing in front of me looking all hott again. Thus, making me want to repeat the whole cycle and, in turn, preventing us from going back downstairs."

"Well, you have to admit that we needed some alone time," Haley pointed out.

"Yeah, but what I really need right now because of you is a cold shower," he retorted.

"Nathan!" Haley shrieked as she whacked his arm. Her face had suddenly gotten hot and she could feel the blush forming.

"What?" he smirked innocently at her.

"Let's just go," she said—ignoring his now smoldering gaze on her.

"Fine," he sighed before opening the door for her. They then walked down the hallway to the staircase.

"I'll go first. You wait another five minutes and then follow," Haley instructed.

"Why?" Nathan asked confused.

"So they don't get suspicious," she answered as she moved to go down the stairs.

"Suspicious of what?"

"That we were upstairs doing...you know," Haley hinted.

"I'm not following," Nathan stated. He knew exactly what she meant, though. He was only pretending not to understand so that he could see her face flush. She was just so sexy when she got all flustered.

"Come on. That we were having…you know," she emphasized—obviously trying to avoid saying it out loud. She was always shy when it came to talking about things like that.

"Not really. I think you're going to have to spell it out for me," he said. Haley looked at him for a second. That's when she noticed the small smirk forming on his face.

"Oh my God, you are such a jerk!" she exclaimed when she realized what he'd been doing.

"I was only kidding with you." I can't believe he was going to make me say it. How embarrassing!

"I hate you," she declared miffed before turning to go down the stairs, once again. Nathan's smirk, however, only grew. He then caught her arm and pulled her back up to him.

"Tell me something I don't know," he teased before crashing his lips onto hers—not even caring about her lipstick or if anyone saw them.
