A few minutes passed and then Lucas walked out of the house looking like a
burden had been lifted from him. Nathan was walking back into the house to
get some water when he ran into Luke in the garage.
"So, I take it that you found her alright," Nathan said feeling a little uneasy.
"Yeah, and hey I'm glad Hales is happy, no matter who it's with," Luke said looking directly in Nathan's eyes.
"Then thanks I guess...I guess we both just want the best for her."
"Yeah, I guess..." Lucas said Well at least I know I do... He thought to himself.
"Well see ya around then."
"Bye"
Nathan walked in to see Haley making sandwiches in the kitchen. She was singing one of her favorite songs by Dashboard Confessional when Nathan so rudely interrupted her, "Encore! Encore!" he yelled.
"Oh shush! It's not like you could do any better, Mr. Basketball!" she teased.
"Oh Haley! You hurt my feelings! How could you say that about me! I can to sing! See," He started singing off tune to the same song.
"Alright! Alright! Don't want to break any windows!"
Nathan gave her a mock shock look that soon turned into an evil grin.
"What are you thinking about?" Haley's tone sobering.
"Nothing..." then Nathan ran towards her and started tickling her mercilessly.
"I- I sur-render! I surr-ender!" Haley said trying to breathe, "Please stop! Stop!" Haley erupted with more laughter.
"Not until you say 'Nathan, you're the best singer I ever heard'," He said not stopping.
"Sorry, I can't tell a lie!"
"Oh! You're goin down James!"
"To a Scott? NEVER!" She said and started to wiggle free.
"Oh no ya don't! You get back here missy!" He said trapping her body under his.
"Please! You're squishing me!"
"Aww! I'm sorry..." he let up a little because he truly didn't want to hurt her.
"Oh! Thanks!" Haley said as she freed her arm and grabbed his wrist on a pressure point.
"Ok! Stop, stop, stop!" Nathan said in a little bit of pain, "No need to really get physical here. Truce?"
"Ok...but one thing you have to seal it with a kiss." Haley said
"That shouldn't be a problem..." He said and pulled her towards him. Their lips met in a sweet kiss. "Good?" Nathan said when they pulled apart.
"Very" Haley said, "Well look what we've done! We've wasted a whole half hour because of you, and now we have to go finish moving you in here." Haley grabbed Nathan's hand and tugged him out to the car.
"Ok, I mean only if we have to!"
They finished moving Nathan in around 8:30pm and they decided to watch some movies that were on TV.
"Ok, Man in the Moon or..." HaHalfl jkldsfHaley said scrolling through the TV channel menu, "basketball...football...no...no...no...Oh goodness you pick something out! But you have to keep Man in the Moon optional!"
"Why?"
"It's only one of the greatest movies of all time. You have to tell me that you've seen it right?" Haley said. Nathan shook his head, "Well then Scott, you're watching it! It's on in about 10 minutes...I'll go make some popcorn."
"I'm coming with you."
"Alright, let's go!"
They went into the kitchen and were making popcorn. Haley was sitting on the counter waiting for the microwave to go off and Nathan was standing next to her.
"Thanks babe." Nathan said finally.
"For what?"
"For helping me get away for my parents, for letting me stay with you, for being such a great girlfriend."
"Trust me I wasn't gonna let my very hot boyfriend suffer, and I definitely wasn't gonna let you live with someone like Tim."
"Well still." He raised her chin up to kiss her, their lips met and the kiss turned passionate. The microwave went off breaking them apart.
"Popcorn's done! Now to that movie!" Haley said jumping onto Nathan's back when he turned to get the popcorn out of the microwave.
"This better not be a snooze-fest or a chick flic!"
"It's not! Well not really at least!"
They watched the movie, and Nathan was slightly interested, but not a whole bunch. Haley felt his body tense up when Court died, and when the mom fell. She personally thought it was funny and laughed a little then looked up at Nathan only to see him confused. By the end of the movie Haley was asleep on Nathan's chest. He turned it over to a basketball game and found the closest blanket. He wrapped the blanket around him and Haley's bodies and snuggled down. He fell asleep knowing that he was with the one he truly loved.
"So, I take it that you found her alright," Nathan said feeling a little uneasy.
"Yeah, and hey I'm glad Hales is happy, no matter who it's with," Luke said looking directly in Nathan's eyes.
