Chapter Fourteen-
Nathan woke up to find the other side of his bed empty and had probably suspected that she had left all ready. The night before for the first time they shared a heart to heart conversation with each other about how they really felt. Getting up from the bed he noticed a picture of the two of them out on a date on the floor next to his bed. Looking at it intently until Haley came in breaking the concentration.
"What are you looking at" Haley asked him
"Oh, I was just looking at a picture of us when we were dating" Nathan said as he showed her the picture
"This was like when we went to Hollywood Planet" Haley said as she laughed at the two of them together
"Whats so funny" Nathan asked
"Look at us. We looked like kids" Haley said
"Yeah, we were" Nathan smiled
"What are we now" Haley asked
"What do you mean" Nathan asked
"Are we like all grown up now" Haley said
"Far from it" Nathan said
"We'll just say a little bit mature" Haley said
"O.k. if that's what we'll stick with" Nathan said
"I'm really glad that we talked last night" Haley said as she sat next to him on the bed
"I am too" Nathan said
"I look at the picture and I remember the good that came with us" Haley said
"I look at this picture and I wonder" Nathan said
"Wonder what" Haley asked
"Where did it go wrong, Hales" Nathan asked
"We just grew apart" Haley said
"No, that's the simple answer. In this picture we looked closer than ever" Nathan said
"Pictures can be deceiving" Haley said as she got up from the bed
"Why are you doing this" Nathan asked
"Doing what" Haley asked
"I'm trying to talk to you" Nathan said
"Why ! talking about where it all is not going to get us anywhere" Haley said
"Maybe it won't but it would clarify what the hell we feel towards each other" Nathan said
"You want to go down memory lane. Well, lets. The reason why we went wrong was because of you" Haley said
"What" Nathan asked
"You broke up with me Nathan because you were scared" Haley said
"Of what" Nathan asked
"That what we had would grow stronger and that it might result to the next level" Haley said
"Oh, yeah. That was never the reason" Nathan said
"Then what was it" Haley asked
"I don't know but I know that that was not the reason" Nathan said
"Your something" Haley said
"Your right, all right. I was scared" Nathan said "I was scared that we would rush into something that would tear us apart so I broke things off with you" Nathan said
"I never pressured you about marriage, so why would you think that I would get into something we weren't ready for" Haley said
"Because it was the time. We had been together so long that it was expected for us to get married. I just started listening to what people were saying and it got to me" Nathan said
"You see that's the dumbest thing you can do. Listening to others will positively ruin a relationship" Haley said
"But I might have considered marrying you if that would have meant we still were together. I don't like the fact that I still have the same feelings that I had when we first started dating" Nathan said
"And whats that" Haley asked
"Like I can't breathe whenever I'm near you or the fact that I still go insane seeing you with other guys. I still love you" Nathan said
"But marriage, Nate. I love you but I don't know about that" Haley said
"So you admit it, that you still love me" Nathan asked her
"You know the answer to that" Haley said
"But I need to know" Nathan said as he walked closer to her
"Nathan" Haley said
"Do you love me" Nathan asked as he was just inches away from her. Everything was hanging in that one split second as Nathan awaited her answer. Just before she could say something Lucas had come in on this scene.
"Hey guys" Lucas said
"Lucas. What are you doing here" Nathan asked
"I came by to see how you were doing" Lucas said
"I think I should go" Haley said
"Did I interrupt something" Lucas asked
"No" Haley said as she grabbed her stuff then left
"You pick the perfect time to see me" Nathan said angrily
"What" Lucas said not knowing what he was talking about
"Just don't say anything" Nathan said as he walked out of the room
Haley entered Karen's Café to find Deb taking care of a customer, sitting by her lonesome until Deb noticed that Haley wasn't her usual self. Sitting beside her waiting for her to open up is what she did and Haley knew that she had to talk to someone.
"I'm so confused" Haley said
"About" Deb asked
"Your son" Haley said
"What is it he had you confused about" Deb asked
"About love and why. I love him but the time, right now is just" Haley said trying to find the words
"Love doesn't wait. Either you do or your don't" Deb said
It was late at night and the rain was falling down harder than it ever had before in Tree Hill. Nathan was getting ready to go to bed in nothing but his boxers. Hearing thunder outside Haley approached his door feeling as if she was on cloud nine and all she could do was just float. Feeling somewhat of a presence at the door, Nathan walked over. Standing on opposite sides of the door feeling more nervous than anything to see what awaits on the other side. Opening the door to find Haley drenched from the rain looking as if she literally showered in the rain. Hair dripping with water as she slicked it back with her hand.
"Yes" Haley said
"Yes. What" Nathan asked
"You wanted to know if I still love you and the answer is yes" Haley said before she kissed him passionantly on the lips.
Nathan held her ever so gently in his arms as he lightly caressed her face just admiring her beauty in more than one way as they lay completely naked on each other. Absorbing the others scent and taste of the lips as passionant kisses flowed through and through. Looking deep into her eyes for the answer slash permission to enter. Giving him the somewhat of signal that she was ready. Lightly sliding into her, his kiss trailed her face down to her neck. Holding onto him as if he were about to fall away Haley ran her hands up and down his back as they both look each other dead straight in the eye. They passionanly made love all through the stormy thunderous night just losing themselves completely in the spur of the moment.
