Nathan's POV

I walked over to her, took her into my arms and kissed her with every fiber of my being.

The moment my lips came into contact with her's, all else faded. All I could think about was how amazing it felt to touch her. Her warm breath, her soft lips, her smooth hair, it was like heaven for me. Being in a daze, it didn't occur to me that the kiss wasn't being reciprocated. I started to panic thinking that she didn't feel the same way. Thankfully I was put at ease once I began to feel her put pressure on my lips. The kiss may have only lasted for a short while but to me it felt like it lasted forever. That had been the best kiss of my life up until then. That earth-shattering kiss is one that I have yet to forget to this day. After our long awaited moment of intimacy, my angel spoke to me for the first time..

Flashback

"Why'd you do that Nate?...Sorry I mean Nathan" asked Haley.

"Wow you actually know my name! I didn't think you did. Oh and you can call me Nate, it has a certain ring to it don't you think?" replied Nathan.

"No, Nathan's fine. You didn't answer my question. Why did you kiss me? You don't even know me so how dare you touch me let alone kiss me" asked Haley aggressively.

"Whoa! Calm down! And believe me when I say that I know more than you think".

"Okay Mr. Hotshot basketball player, what do you know about me? Hunh?

"I know that you love the rain, I know that you play with your hair when you're nervous, I know that you bite your lip when you're hesitant, I know that you love to sing when you think no one's listening and I KNOW that no matter how much you try and deny it, you enjoyed the kiss just as much as I did".

"You're wrong! That kiss meant nothing!!"said Haley

"If it meant nothing , then why'd you kiss me back?"

"Look that's not the point.... "

"No it is the point, if you didn't want me kissing you, then you would have pushed me away. Instead, you kissed me back so don't bother telling me that it meant nothing! I know it did."

"Okay, so I lied, sue me. Look, this really isn't a good time, so I think its best if you could leave now."

"Look please don't push me away. Its obvious that you're upset about something, so please tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help you, please don't shut me out, please talk to me!"cried Nathan in desperation.

"You can't help me! No one can!" cried Haley hysterically. "Did you know that my mom's in the hospital?"

"No, I didn't know. I'm sorry. What happened to her?" asked Nathan

"She was drunk and she was driving, she lost control of the car and hit a traffic signal. The doctor's don't know what's going to happen to her. She's in a coma now. What's going to happen to her Nate? She's the only one I have in the world Nate. What will I do without her?" asked Haley.

By now all the anger had dissipated and all Haley could do was cry. She cried for her mother, she cried for her state of misery and she cried for not being able to tell Nathan of her true feelings. All Nathan could do was hold her. He helped her sit on the front porch and whispered sweet nothings while Haley washed away all her pain while in the comforting arms of her true love.

To the outsider, it looked as if these two lovers had known each other all their lives but little do they know that story of the two lovers is only beginning.
