*Chapter 7: Looked in on Late Saturday Night*
Part 1
-Nathan and Haley-
"Haley, I've been looking for you," Nathan said as he found Haley in the hallway upstairs, by the bedrooms.
"Hey," Haley replied as she turned around giving Nathan a fake smile.
"Haley is something wrong?" he asked, seeing right through her.
"No. No. Nothing's wrong. Just you know... stuff. It's so crowded in here, so I'm just feeling a bit woozy, but it's no big deal," she told him as she continued to smile.
"Sure, Haley," he told her, not believing her. "So, when are we going to talk about last night?" he asked her.
"What about last night?" she asked back.
"Haley, I know some things are up with you. You mentioned some stuff last night and I want to help out," he replied, sounding sincere and worried.
"I don't need anyone's help," she snapped back at him.
"There my problems and no one else's, okay?" she answered as she stormed down the hallway.
"Haley...wait!" Nathan yelled to her as he ran after her.
She walked into the nearest room and began to close the door.
"Haley," Nathan uttered as he held the door from being shut.
"Just leave," she told him.
"I'm not going to," he responded as he closed the door behind them and turned on the lights.
Looking around at the pink room with only one bed, he remembered something.
"Holy shit," he said taking in his surroundings and recognizing the room.
"What's wrong?" she asked him, confused of his sudden reaction.
"This room locks automatically from the inside when you close it," he told her as he began to turn the knob again.
"WHAT?" she yelled as she pushed Nathan aside and tried to open the door.
She hit the door, but knew that no one would hear her. They were upstairs and no one was up there unless it was one of the gang. All the other people weren't allowed to walk up there so they would have to wait till they hear one of the gang.
"Haley there is no point to knocking on the door," he told her. "The music is blasting and no one could hear you."
"I know, but..." she answered back as she fell to the floor with her back on the door.
She looked around the room and noticed that it was pink with flowers painted on the wall. She recognized that the room had an empty closet, dresser, and a desk.
She then finally recognized the size the bed.
"That bed could not fit both of us," she told him as she got up. "It could only fit one of us."
"It can fit both of us," he remarked back. "We are going to be a little tight, but we'll fit," he added. "It'll give us time to get to know each other a lot more... personally," he uttered smoothly as he got close to her.
"Men are such pigs," she responded as she got away from him.
"It's our job," he told her proudly. "So anyways..."
"Yeah...what in the hell are we going to do to keep sane? I'm already starting to get bored?"
"I could actually think of a few things..." he slickly replied while imagining it.
"That is disgusting Scott!" she shrieked back.
"What? Like you never thought about it?" he asked her as he lay down on the bed.
"Yeah, every night before I go to sleep," she mocked as she looked around the room.
"I bet. I know I'm irresistible," he informed her.
"It's starting to get a little tight in here," she advised him as she pushed herself against the wall. "Your ego is too big to fit in here," she said as she still was adjacent to the wall.
"Funny...." He responded sarcastically as he got up and off the bed.
"Ouf..." she pronounced as she got off the wall. "Your ego got smaller," she continued, "could finally breathe and walk."
"Ha, ha, ha," he mumbled as he looked at her.
"What?" she asked him as she pretended to be dumbfounded.
They both began to look through the drawers, trying to find something...anything. Nathan walked over to the empty closet and became aware that there were actually things in there.
"Hey, I found some things," he called to her as he began to explore what he discovered.
He retrieved a Candyland box, Barbie dolls, a Pretty Pretty Princess box, and Twister.
"Looks like Tim's little sister left some stuff."
"Oh my God!" she cried as she saw the Pretty Pretty Princess box.
"Woa, there tiger. It's just a game," he told her as he saw her eyes bulge out.
"I remember playing this game when I was younger," she informed him excited as she took the box from his hands.
"Okay...so you won't be bored, but me on the other hand..." he replied.
"No, you totally have to play with me," she begged him as she opened the box and put its contents on the floor.
"No, I don't think so," he responded.
"C'mon, Nathan...Lucas always played with me," she told him knowing that that would annoy him.
"Lucas? I don't care," he told her, starting to get angry of his foe and "dearest brother" being mentioned.
"C'mon Nathan," she pouted. "Please, Natey!" she pleaded as she looked up from the box and met his piercing green eyes.
"As long as you never call me that name every again," he replied as he sat down across from her. "Besides, how can anyone resist that beautiful face?"
She looked at him in wonderment of his last comment, but then began to smile and blush.
"Cut it out Scott," she said as she pushed him a little. "I won't let you be crowned princess," she added.
"You've already been crowned princess in my heart," he flirtatiously told her (AN: sorry don't know any good pick up lines).
"Okay lets play," she replied as she ignored the last comment, but still blushed.
*********************************
*Part 2*
"I'm Princess!" Haley yelled as she put the small crown on her head. "Bow down to the princess," she told Nathan as she pointed to him to do so.
"Haley, can we play something else now?" he asked of boredom.
Haley had gotten all the rings, bracelets, and the necklace of the game and Nathan only got the black ring.
"Oh, you just mad because I'm the princess and you're not," she stated as she danced around the room with the crown on her head.
Nathan looked up at Haley, amazed of her childish act with the game
'It seems like she's 10 again,' Nathan thought as he smiled at Haley. 'But she does look stunning,' he added to himself silently.
"Mighty Princess, may we please play another game," he begged her sarcastically as he kneeled.
"I guess we could play another game, peasant," she joked as she looked at the other games.
"Peasant? Thanks Haley."
"With much love," she replied.
"So, what are we going to play?" Nathan asked.
"Okay we are going to play Twister," she said.
"Why Haley are you wanting to get tangled with me?" he asked her with a smirk.
"In your dreams," she told him.
"Oh, believe me that's not all we do..." he told her.
"That's disgusting," she responded with a slight blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Are you planning on still wearing the crown when we play?" he asked her.
"Duh," she replied. "It will show you that you may be smooth on the court, but in Pretty Pretty Princess I am the ruler! Plus I get to shove it in your face," she added with a smile.
"So you think I'm smooth?" he asked as he looked over at her. "So anyways," he said as he took off his jacket and realized that something was inside.
"Huh? What the hell is inside here," he vocalized as he took out whatever it was.
It was a bag of Cracker Jack's.
"Want some?" he asked her as he opened the bag and took out some of the popcorn.
"Yeah sure," she replied as she grabbed a handful and set the game up.
Nathan noticed that something was inside the bag. He pulled out a small white bag and opened it. He revealed a pink bracelet. He looked over at Haley and saw that she was still setting up the game, but was almost done.
"Here," he told her and he walked over to her and grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing Nathan?" she asked puzzled.
"It's a gift," he answered as he put the bracelet on her wrist.
Haley looked down at the pink bracelet and then looked back at him.
"Thank you Nathan," she responded as she gave him a big smile. "Now lets play; it's set up."
"Okay since you lost in Pretty Pretty Princess, then you could go first poor peasant," she teasingly told him.
"Oh, thank you your highness. It's such an honor..." he sarcastically responded.
Nathan flicked the spinner on the wheel and read its result.
"Right foot green," he said aloud as he moved into that position.
*They continued to play the game for the next thirty minutes...
"Okay, right hand red," Haley spoke.
"Don't fall down," Nathan told her.
Nathan and Haley were both tangled together and it was difficult for either of them to move. Haley moved her hand and lost her balance. Her entire body fell on the plastic with Nathan. They both began to laugh wildly because of all the fun they were having.
"Good job Haley," Nathan notified her in between laughs. "Now the crown has been passed to me," he said as he removed the crown from her head and put it onto his.
"No. You don't look as pretty as me with the crown," she informed him, retrieving the crown.
She paused and smiled to him.
Nathan looked at her deep brown eyes and began to smile wider. First time in a long time, he gave someone a true, honest smile. Ever since his mother left for the extensive trips and his dad pressured him constantly about basketball, he finally felt happy. He was intrigued of her personality and how she was never intimidated of him. He loved it when she questioned him about his actions when he got his brother mad yesterday. She was the only person who spoke up to him in a long time. Not even his friends did that.
She began to look at Nathan's green eyes with amazement. She had never expected Nathan to be such a great guy before this trip. However, during this excursion, she got to know him a lot more personally and liked who he truly was not who he appeared to be around his friends.
They both leaned in for a kiss and within moments their lips met again. To deepen the kiss, Haley leaned back and let Nathan get on top of her.
Nathan couldn't get enough of Haley and continued to kiss her hungrily. He soon began to trail kisses down her neck. He next began to move his hand across her curves and rested his hand on the buttons of her blouse. He quickly began to unbutton her shirt as he kissed her neck.
"Nathan..." Haley said. "Stop..." she told him as she realized that he was unbuttoning her shirt.
Nathan stopped and looked at Haley's stricken face.
"I'm sorry Haley. I just couldn't resist anymore," he explained to her.
"Yeah, it's fine," she told him, as she knew that she too craved his touch. "Lets find some other thing to do," she responded.
They both got up and looked around the room some more. Nathan walked over to the desk and pulled a couple of drawers open. In the top drawer he found a small, pink, Hello Kitty stereo. He pulled it out and set it on the desk.
"So I found some music," he told her as he looked through the drawer for some CD's. "All she has is N SYNC, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Mandy Moore," he informed her. "Looks like Tim's sister is a classic teenage Pop girl,"
"C'mon, like you never liked N SYNC? You know that you secretly loved BSB," she teased him. "Let me see the CD's."
He passed her the CD's and she glimpsed through them.
"Oh, I love this CD!" Haley exclaimed as she noticed the Mandy Moore So Real CD.
"Haley, you like Pop music?" he asked amazed.
"What? Every teenage girl liked Pop music at one point in time," she replied.
"Where you one of the teenage girls that cried when they didn't get their tickets to see N SYNC?" he asked her jokingly.
"Well, they were actually coming to Tree Hill! Can you believe that? I couldn't miss out," she answered.
He looked at her surprised.
"Just joking," she replied. "Never was an N SYNC fan. I preferred Backstreet Boys," she informed him.
"Anyways..." he said changing the subject.
"Let's listen to Mandy Moore," she responded as she put the CD in the player.
"Oh, no. Kill me now," Nathan mumbled as she lay down on the bed and covered his ears.
"Oh, you're going to like it," she told him as she connected the CD player into the outlet.
She skipped track one and moved on to Candy. The voice of Mandy Moore abruptly filled the silent room.
"Can you please change the song," he begged her.
"Fine," she answered, changing to track 3.
"Don't really like this song," she uttered to herself as she changed the song.
The song, "Walk me Home," filled the room.
She sat on the bed, hearing the lyrics and rhythms fill the room. Nathan looked up at Haley and observed her admiration and focus on the song. He rapidly got off the bed and faced Haley.
"Care to dance Madame?" he asked her as he extended his hand.
"I thought you hated the music," she answered.
"But as long as I'm with you, I'm fine," he retorted.
"Mercy, Monsieur," she replied taking his hand and smiled.
They both danced, hand in hand, slowly, knowing that it was the beginning of something exceptional.
