The first sounds that Haley could distinguish were birds chirping. 'Oh god, would you shut up' Haley thought keeping her eyes closed to the harsh sunlight streaming into her room. The next thing she could distinguish was something heavy wrapped around her stomach and something solid lying against her. 'Oh please don't tell me I did something completely stupid last night'. Opening her eyes she started screaming.
Jumping out of bed not fully awake Nathan stubbed his toe on his sneaker. "Ow, damn it," he yelped. Looking down at the bed he noticed Haley curled in a ball whimpering. Kneeling on the bed he shook her shoulder, "Hales?" Scooting away from Nathan Haley got up on the opposite side of the bed. "Why, are you in my bed? What the hell did we do last night?" she asked looking down at Nathan's shirt which was the only thing she had on.
Sitting on the bed, Nathan looked at her, "We didn't do anything last night. You made an ass out of yourself, threw up for a good 20 minutes and then passed out." Sitting on the edge of the bed Haley asked, "What did I do?" Sighing Nathan proceeded to tell Haley of last night's events skipping the part about wanting him to be the only one to lay with her. He figured he could use that fact sometime when they'd be arguing.
Studying her hands Haley listened to what she had said in front of probably the entire school. "Oh god, now everybody is going to know about my personal life." "Relax, ¾'s of them were probably more blazed then you were." Her head was killing her so Haley laid back down and closed her eyes before asking, "Where was Lucas when I was going off about our oh so wonderful parents?" "I don't really know where he was but I know he wasn't in the kitchen at the time. However, Peyton wasn't that drunk so who knows if she has seen him or not." Sitting up to quickly Haley grabbed her head as the room started spinning, "I have to find him before she does." Getting up she grabbed the bed as the room continued to spin, "Oh god, is it possible to still be drunk in the morning." Laughing Nathan shook his head yes. Glancing at the clock Nathan said, "Hales, it's not even 9 a.m. why don't you go back to sleep for a little more?"
Torn between wanting to find her brother and the making the room stop spinning, Haley opted for the latter. Crawling back into bed she told herself that she was too weak to put up a fight when Nathan pulled her back into his arms. Within seconds she was asleep again.
Waking again, Haley could feel Nathan's heart beating. Glancing at the clock she saw that it was nearly noon and thankfully her head wasn't hurting as bad. Laying her head back on Nathan's chest she felt his arms tighten around her. Rolling her eyes she thought, 'even in sleep he's a possessive control freak.' Thinking back to the night before Haley had a feeling that Nathan wasn't telling her everything that she had said. Absently she started to trace circles around on Nathan's chest. She had to admit he did have one hell of a body. Trying to remember what she had said to him before she passed out she let her fingers wander over him. Slowly waking up Nathan could feel something light and feathery against his chest. Opening his eyes he watched Haley's fingers moving around his chest. Putting his hand over hers to stop it he whispered, "If you don't want little Nathan popping up, you need to stop."
Sitting up quickly Haley's face turned bright red, "Oh, I'm sorry, I uh didn't mean to...I'm sorry," she stuttered. Laughing Nathan responded, "It's okay. You don't know what you do to me." Realizing what he had said Nathan sat up and tried backpedaling, "That is you don't realize what that can do to me." Turning on the bed Haley rose up to her knees and smiled, "I'm going to go get a shower. I just wanted to thank-you for helping me last night. After yesterday morning you really didn't have to so thanks," Haley then proceeded to lean forward and place a feather soft kiss on Nathan's lips. Pulling back Haley looked as though she had been burned. "I'll be in the shower," Haley said quickly scooting off the bed and into her bathroom.
Sitting there stunned Nathan watched as Haley fled to the bathroom. Touching his lips he whispered, "You felt it too." Getting up he decided that it would probably be safe now to go downstairs without his shirt. Opening the door he slowly made his way down to the kitchen picking up paper cups as he went.
Letting the water cascade over her Haley leaned back against the wall thinking about the kiss. 'Why would I do that?' she asked herself. "Trying to tease him just made me feel something when I kissed him," she said out loud. "That's just freaking perfect. Never mind, that we hate each other." Rolling her eyes she realized that wasn't true. Despite the arguments he was the one that she had gone to when she had a problem and he came to her anytime his dad was on his case about basketball. They never really hated each other it was just more or less a way to pass the time together by arguing. Now Haley could think of a few other ways she wouldn't mind passing the time with one Nathan Scott. And that's when she remembered. Leaning against the wall in her shower she remembered what she had said the night before. "Oh god, I couldn't have said that," she whispered.
