Nathan's head snapped up and he saw a very confused Haley at the top of the stairs. "What are you doing here?" Haley didn't move an inch from her spot. All her muscles had tensed up the moment she saw him standing in her hallway.
Nathan took a few seconds to compose himself. "You forgot your book." Haley stood and stared with astonishment. "You came here to give me back my book?" she was trying to make sure she hadn't heard him wrong. Nathan nodded and waved the small book he had been carrying around so she could see what he was talking about. "..oh I've been looking for that." Haley said descending the stairs slowly, her body loosening up a bit.
"Yeah you left it at the tutoring centre." Nathan explained handing the paper-back back to her, pulling his hand away from her without delay. Nathan then quickly found the zipper of his jacket to play with. "Couldn't you have given this to me tomorrow?" Haley asked not knowing what to do next. Nathan hated this; he was supposed to be the one with the upper hand. But he wasn't. Nathan made a quick decision to regain his edge.
"Well I thought I was being nice but hey..." Nathan stepped closer to Haley making her in turn take a step back. Nathan reached out and took the book from Haley's small hand and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "..you'll see me and 'Wuthering Heights' tomorrow." Haley could feel his hot breath on her neck when he spoke. Nathan saw Haley's closed eyes and smirked. 'Mission accomplished' he thought to himself as he stepped back towards the door.
Haley felt Nathan's presence depart and quickly realized what she was doing. She stood staring at the tall brunette wondering what the hell he was trying to do. Haley's mind was pulling her in so many different directions she didn't know what to do. "Haley, where are the car keys?" Haley recognized her dad's voice. She turned to look at Nathan for a second and then walked down the hall into the kitchen. Nathan watched as Haley composed herself before leaving him on his own.
Haley came back a minute later and to her shock found it empty. She scurried into the TV room but only saw her brother. "Did you see where Nathan went?" Haley asked John still a little unnerved about what Nathan had done. John looked up from the TV and smiled at his baby sister. "He left. You cou..." John looked around the room to find that Haley had already gone and that Kelly had taken her place. "Where's she going in such a hurry?" Kelly asked hearing the front door shut.
John smiled at his twin. "After Nathan Scott." Kelly looked at John and he could tell that she wasn't pleased. "Why is my baby sister running after that jerk?" Kelly asked him while giving him the 'don't lie to me' eyes. She had heard the stories about Nathan Scott like everybody else that lived in the town. "Look I don't know but he doesn't seem that bad." John said defending Nathan. Kelly looked around the room her eyes finally settling on the TV. "If he does anything to hurt her..." Kelly started. "I'll be the first one to kick his ass." John finished her sentence smiling at her trying to calm her down. Kelly was too protective over Haley sometimes.
Haley brushed past her big sister and ran out the door after Nathan. She was surprised that is was already dark. Haley heard a car door and ran to the bottom of her drive to see Nathan getting into his car. "You can't be serious?" Haley shouted to him while walking towards him. She ignored the knots in her stomach as she got closer to him. Nathan turned around smirking hearing Haley call after him. He knew she would follow him. Well really, Nathan hoped she would follow him and that was why he had stopped every other step to admire the footpath or the grass or a piece of gum stuck to the road. He was giving her time.
"What cant I be serious about?" Nathan asked teasing her. Haley stopped a good two feet away from him. "You're really taking my book again?" Haley asked not knowing if he was kidding with her. Nathan smirked at her closing his car door and taking a step towards her. Haley was getting a sense of DAY JA VU and she didn't like it. "First of all, yes and second of all it's not again. You left it in the tutoring centre a week ago." Nathan smirked at her taking another step backing her into the front of his car. Haley watched as Nathan closed in on her.
Nathan had once again backed Haley against a wall. Well the front of his car but Nathan liked that she couldn't get away from him. "You've had my book for a week and you're only giving it to me now?" Haley questioned him ignoring the non existence space between them. Haley was trying to make conversation because at least a minute had passed since he last spoke and it made Haley feel that he was planning something. Nathan nodded at her not breaking his eyes away from hers.
Haley was practically sitting on the bonnet of Nathan's car when she got some courage that was long over due. "Well, give it back." Haley demanded putting her hand on his chest to push him back which didn't exactly go to plan. Nathan in one swift move grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. Haley hadn't time to register what Nathan had done before she felt his lips on hers. To Haley's disbelief Nathan's kiss was soft and gentle. Nathan felt Haley's arm wriggle in his grasp so he let it go and too his surprise he found it wrapped around his neck a second later. He took this as a good sign and bent down further to deepen the kiss while wrapping his arms around her petite waist pulling her into him. While Still holding her book.
The passion between the two teens grew by the second which neither of them objected too but the moment was ruined at the sound of John yelling from the front door. "Haley?" John called out into the dark. Haley quickly pushed Nathan off her and took a well needed breath. "Yeah, I'm here." she called back to him not moving from her spot in front of Nathan. "Phone, its Lucas."
Hearing Lucas' name, Nathan moved his hands from her waist knowing that she would be away in a second. Haley glanced at Nathan her heart still beating wildly because of their kiss and saw that he was avoiding her stare. "I better go." she said softly before slipping away and running up the steps to her house. Nathan watched as her structure faded into the dark. He clenched his jaw and balled up his fists until his knuckles were white. Nathan didn't know what he was madder at, the fact that she had just run away from him or that she was running to Lucas?
