"So how did it go?" Lucas asked after practice.
"I'm not really sure," Nathan spoke continuing to shoot around.
"Hold up, what do you mean you're not sure?" he asked after taking the ball.
"Well it was all going fine. Then I kissed her and it was great. The next thing I know she is pushing me away and running out of the office."
"Geez Nate, I told you not to get cocky with her," he spoke throwing the ball at him.
"I couldn't help it. She was just looking and smelling amazing," he answered shyly.
"Go talk to her and sort things out before she shuts you out for good," Lucas advised.
"Honestly,Brooke it was awful," Haley spoke down the phone.
"How awful?" She questioned to her.
"We were just talking, he got closer and the next thing I know we were kissing," she spoke softly.
"How was the kiss?"
"Is that really important right now," she spoke getting a little annoyed.
"Yes!" She screamed down the phone at her.
"Fine it was mind blowing and makes me miss him a lot," she confessed to her.
"You say you're just in it for the sex. Doesn't sound that way to me," she replied to her.
"Urge I honestly don't know anymore Brooke. I just know I feel like a different person when I'm around him," she explained to her.
"In that case you have a lot of thinking to do," she commented.
"Look Brooke, I have to go there is someone banging on the door," she spoke hanging up.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you cause enough trouble today," she spoke a little sharply at him.
"I came to say sorry and I brought dinner. So can I come in?" He asked nervously.
"That depends," she spoke biting her lip.
"On what?" He asked her softly making eye contact
"What food did you bring?" She asked looking down at the bag.
"Food of the gods. So can I come in?" He smiled at her.
"Okay," she smirked back at him.
After letting him in, he followed her into the kitchen.
"So do you want to sit at the table?" He asked her.
"No lets go into the living room," she suggested to him.
He carried in the food as she brought the folks and some glades.
"No plates?" He asked.
"I think we can eat out of the containers. Just don't make a mess or you're cleaning it up," she warned to him with a smile.
"Okay miss," he smiled back at her.
They were comfortable talking about family and friends. Trying to avoid talking about work.
"I'm going to get more wine," Haley spoke getting up heading to the kitchen.
Nathan knew she wasn't herself. So he decided to follow her. He watched her taking a minute to relax.
"Haley please talk to me. I know I scared you with the kiss. I don't know how else to show you how much I love you," he explained to her.
"I know that Nathan and I love you. I know I'm putting you through hell and you're taking it. I'm just scared and I don't know how to feel. I still need space and that kiss confused me even more," she confessed to him.
"What are you confused about? We love each other. That should be enough," he spoke softly watching her.
"The long distance relationship scares me so much," she spoke starting to cry.
He walked over to her taking her in his arms and wiped away her tears.
"Haley, I don't have to go back to the team. I'm happy working at the school," he spoke looking down at her.
"I can't watch you lose your dream cause of me," she spoke barely above a whisper.
"Lose her? She is right here and I'm never letting go of her, okay?" He spoke looking her in the eyes.
"Are you sure?" She questioned nervously
"Yeah, I lost you once I won't put either of us through that again," he spoke looking at her.
Without warning Haley jumped into his arms attacking his lips with her own.
"So what does this mean?" He asked between kisses
"I want you in my life," she replied looking at him.
"Okay," he spoke wiping away her tears.
