Karen's was pretty quiet when they arrived. Since they wanted their privacy, Haley suggested they go up to the roof.
"It's really nice up here," Nathan commented.
"Yeah I love it. I guess you could say this is my safe place," she confessed quietly.
"I remember in high school and college you brought me up here a few times," he reminded her.
"Well I guess sometimes never change," she smiled.
"Speaking of things never changing. I see you still have your love a mac n cheese?" He teased while taking a bite.
"Hey! Mac n cheese is food of the gods," she protested.
"Yeah if you're five," he smirked.
"Whatever! So what did you want to talk about?" She asked nervously.
"Well... When I was away I was just thinking about something."
"Okay, what were you thinking?" She asked nervously, shifting in her seat.
"I guess I just want to know about your life while we have been apart," Nathan said.
"Okay, well there isn't much to tell," she shifted under his gaze.
"We have four years to catch up on Hales. I'm sure you have a few stories to share," he spoke smiling at her.
"After college I came back here and moved in with Brooke until I got my job and got my own place. I guess you could say that was an experience in it's self living with her," she spoke with laughter in her voice.
"Yeah all the late night booty calls," Nathan teased a little.
"Well yeah! At least it was just mostly Lucas. So I didn't mind that so much," she replied smiling.
"Any booty calls for you? Did you ever ask him about me?" Nathan questioned, trying to hide the jealousy in this tone.
"None for me. I only had a few relationships and only one sexual. That didn't last because the sex wasn't as good as what I got when I was connected with you. As for Brooke, Yeah! All the time," she replied nervously.
"Well I did the same about you," he spoke with a reassuring smile.
"Yeah, over the last few days I have been asking myself the same question over and over again," she confessed to him.
"What question is that?" He asked curiously.
"Why did I let myself go through with the break up?" She spoke with a sudden tear rolling down her cheek.
"Hey! You are not to blame for that Haley. I was the one who wanted to walk away for us," he reminded her.
"I know! Now I'm scared I'm going to have my heart broke again," she confessed.
"Hales, know what I realised being away from you this week?" He asked.
"What?" She asked rubbing her eyes
"You were the best thing I ever had. I know you did fight back because you wanted to let me live my dream."
"Yeah I did. I hope it was worth it. The last four years without you in my life have been so hard for me," she spoke looking him directly in the eyes.
"They were worth it in that you let me live the dream I always wanted. The thing I realised the most was that my dream of basketball didn't matter," he explained to her.
"What do you mean? I don't understand?," Haley questioned.
"None of it mattered because the dream I wanted most of all was to have you in my life everyday. That what I realised and I would be okay to have you in my life everyday," he spoke looking directly at her.
"You have no idea how much I needed to hear that," she spoke softly looking at him.
"It's the truth," he replied taking one of her hands in his.
"Okay," she smirked at him.
"And forever," he replied with a wide smirk. "So what have the last four years been like for you?" She asked him.
"Full of basketball and full of regret letting you go. My life wasn't complete without you," he confessed being honest with her.
"Yeah I know what you mean," she spoke smiling softly at him.
"I'm glad we are finding are way back to each other," he spoke, sharing the smile.
"I know! I feel like a giddy teenager with a crush. It's definitely a great feeling," Haley blushed.
"Yeah not sleeping next to you the last few nights. Definitely resulted in a lot of cold showers," he teased her.
"Nathan! If you're up for it we could go home and make up for lost time," she smiled seductively.
"Okay," he smirked letting her catch the double meaning in his words.
Now that they had talked, both Nathan and Haley were feeling happier about where they were with each other and how they felt.
