Haley and Nathan had been working for almost an hour on the living room with nothing but the stereo blaring between the two. The entire time the two tried to avoid each other. Haley did not want to talk about her little omission the night before and Nathan did not want to talk about the fact that her brother gave the go ahead to date her. 'They hated each other, for god's sake' each one thought!
Just as Haley decided the best thing to do would be to just pretend that nothing even happened, the stereo decided to play a particularly bad choice of song. As the opening started, she immediately recognized the song, because the first time she had heard it she thought immediately of Nathan. She didn't know why at the time but based on her drunken lapse last night she quickly figured out why the song reminded her of him. 'Oh god, I have a thing for the devil' she thought rolling her eyes. Glancing over at him she found him staring at her. 'Hmm..maybe I'm not the only one' she thought. 'This could be fun to play with him.' Knowing that she had a pretty decent voice Haley started singing along with the song as she slowly started dancing around the living room.
"I am moody, messy I get restless, and it's senseless How you never seem to care When I'm angry, you listen Make me happy it's a mission And you won't stop til I'm there Fall...Sometimes I fall so fast Well, I hit that bottom Crash, you're all I have Ohhhh It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real I like the way that feels Ohhhh It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself I love how you can tell All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...."
Watching Haley dance around the room Nathan couldn't keep his feelings in check anymore. He had just decided to himself to let everything drop and ignore what Lucas had said but as soon as she started singing and swaying, he changed his mind. He couldn't help it; her eyes were closed as she danced so she didn't even see him coming. He took the few steps across the living room, grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss like none that he had ever experienced before. And the amazing thing was she didn't fight him.
They stood there kissing until the front door slammed and they heard Lucas calling out for them, quickly they sprang apart and went back to cleaning the living room without looking at one another. Coming around the corner Lucas immediately noticed the red faces of his sister and his best friend, he knew he had interrupted something. "Hey, guys looks like you got this place pretty clean in here. I'm gonna grab a shower and then start the kitchen. Oh but before I forget, Hales we're going to have a little chat then about you keeping secrets from me," Lucas declared watching his sisters face grow pale. "Lucas I'm sorry," "Not now, we'll talk after my shower," Lucas interrupted walking out of the living room and up the stairs to his bedroom.
Sighing Haley closed her eyes as she sank down on the couch resting her head in her hands. Coming to sit next to her Nathan asked, "Are you okay?" With her head still in her hands Haley shook her head and replied, "No, he's mad at me now." "Oh Hales, I'm sure he'll get over it." "No, you don't understand. Our parents do this shit to us all the time and Lucas and I promised to never keep anything from one another because if we did then we would be no better then them. Keeping secrets just causes everybody to get hurt and I hate when I disappoint him," Haley glanced at Nathan lifting her head out of her hands. Not sure if she would slap him or not Nathan tentatively put his arm around her shoulder, "Haley you're all he has left of his family. He's not going to be so disappointed in you that he never forgives you."
Leaning against Nathan Haley had to admit he was right. Hell she and Lucas had practically raised each other. "I guess you're right." "Of course I'm right, I'm always right," Nathan scoffed. Pushing away from him Haley got up and started for the door turning around she replied, "Now I remember why I hate you so much." Getting up to follow her Nathan laughed, "Yeah well last night you were telling me something a little different." Whipping around Haley glared at him, "How are you going to hold something I said when I was drunk against me?" "Well normally I wouldn't but you were the one who brought up the fact that people tell the truth when they're drunk," Nathan replied smirking.
"Oh my god! I can't believe I was actually starting to think you were half way decent. God, I was wrong, you're still the devil," Haley replied watching Nathan advance on her. Coming up to stand directly in front of her Nathan smiled, "Awe, honey you have a little pet name for me. You want to know what mine is for you." Not waiting for an answer Nathan answered himself, "Bitch," he hissed. Glaring up at him Haley pulled him in for another mind blowing kiss. "Ow, you little bitch," Nathan yelped as he fell to the floor grabbing his soft spot. Smirking Haley responded, "Oh I'm sorry my knee slipped." Blowing him a kiss she smiled sweetly, "I'll be in the kitchen, my little devil," turning she stalked away to the kitchen.
Lying on the floor Nathan watched her walk away 'oh yeah, she wants me' he thought.
