Chapter 14-I'm Sorry, what?

"I'm sorry Nathan, what did you just say?" Haley said as she moved herself from his embrace.

"I said I got the interview...for Thursday morning." Nathan responded confused as to her sudden distance.

"No, I heard that. What did you say after that?"

Nathan traced back his words and realized that he said it, he said, "I Love You."

Haley stood silent as Nathan looked at her waiting for a reaction. It seemed as though Haley was speechless so Nathan decided that he should explain, "look Haley, I know I kind of sprung that on you but I've been feeling it for awhile now. There's something about you that I just can't get enough of, and I don't want to." Still Haley was silent so he continued, "I know that this thing between us is still kind of new so I don't expect you to say anything back. I'm willing to wait as long as I have to, to hear you say those words back. I don't know if it scares you, but it sure as hell scares me. I mean I have never felt this way about anyone in my life." Haley was still looking at Nathan with a listening look on her face, "I fell for you Haley, I fell for you hard, and I can see that you might need some time to let this sink in, so I'm going to go, call me when you want to talk about it aiight?" Nathan went to give Haley a kiss on the cheek and proceeded to make his way to the door until he heard it...

"I love you too." Haley said as she turned to face Nathan. Nathan stopped in his tracks and tried to compose himself before he turned around to look at Haley. Nathan then turned around and stared at Haley giving her the same silent treatment that she gave him nearly a minute ago so like he did, she began to explain, "I've been feeling it for a very long time. Ever since I met you, there was something unexplainable between us that made me want to be with you. I never said it because I never thought you felt the same way about me. I mean I knew you liked me but love...well that was something I didn't think you were ready for but I guess I was wrong."

"So, that's it. We're in love." Nathan said as he inched closer to Haley.

"I guess we are." As Haley too inched closer with a smile on her face.

Nathan smiled back and placed his arms around her waist and leaned in for a passionate kiss. Haley wrapped her arms around his neck and quickly responded making sure to intensify the kiss.

As the kiss started to get heated, Haley pulled away from Nathan to look into his eyes, "Nathan," she said.

"yes?" Nathan answered back with his eyes glued on Haley's.

"Make love to me." Nathan had a shocked expression on his face. He wanted her and she wanted him. Nathan quickly responded to her request and picked her up into her arms as she giggled. He then carried her to her bedroom.

"I Love you Haley James."

"I Love You Nathan Scott."

And with that they closed the door to the bedroom and got lost in each other for the rest of the night, making love through the late hours of the night.
