Giving In To Desires
Chapter Nine
Haley stared after Lucas in shock. He had never acted like that before and she was at a loss to explain his behaviour. Seeing him approach Brooke and Peyton she watched as first Peyton then Brooke enveloped him in a friendly hug. Haley saw Brooke shoot her a look over Lucas' shoulder but was unable to decipher the meaning behind it. Her arms seemed to linger around Lucas' broad shoulders a little too long but Haley told herself that she was just being ridiculous. Brooke was a good friend of both of theirs and besides she wasn't interested in Lucas she was with Nathan. Turning back to Nathan and the other guys she smiled,
"So which one of you guys is going to buy me a drink?"
"What will it be Haley?" Jake asked before heading to the bar.
"Anything" she responded "as long as it has plenty of vodka in it".
"Ok see what I can find" Jake chuckled in response.
Lucas and the two girls returned soon after but Lucas would barely look at her and instead concentrated all his attention on Tim, Jake, Peyton and Brooke. He had never had much time for Theresa basically because she annoyed him so Haley wasn't surprised when he hardly even acknowledged her contributions to their conversations. Nathan watched Haley and could see the hurt in her eyes. What the Fuck is Lucas' problem? He's acting like a complete knob. He felt a gnawing pain in his gut as he saw her looking so miserable and came to a fast decision.
"Come on, you look like you could use a shot." He told her.
She followed him to the bar and proceeded to match him shot for shot until she felt a wonderful numbness start to overtake her pain. Standing up she swayed slightly
"I'm going to the bathroom," she slurred.
"Ok I'll be waiting" Nathan responded ordering himself another shot, not that he really needed it.
Looking over at his brother and their friends he could easily tell even in his inebriated condition that they were all pretty tanked. All except Jake anyway who was the only one who still appeared able to walk in a straight line. He watched as Brooke grabbed Lucas by the hand and dragged him out to the dance floor both of them weaving unsteadily on their feet. Jake caught his eye obviously expecting him to stage a jealous intervention between his brother and his girlfriend but Nathan was more than happy to let them continue. If Brooke wanted to keep Lucas occupied that was fine by him.
"What's so interesting?" Haley asked drunkenly having found her way back from the bathroom.
She followed his gaze out to the dance floor and saw Brooke and Lucas dancing closely. Brooke's arms were wound around Lucas' neck and his hands rested lightly on her hips as they swayed to the music.
"What the Fuck?" she muttered disbelievingly "well two can play at that game," she said and grabbing hold of Nathan she led him out to the crowded dance floor.
Nathan experienced a moment of lucidity as Haley moved in close to him.
"Hales are you sure about this?"
In response Haley grabbed his hands bringing them around to cup her ass and leaned in closer.
"Very sure" she affirmed pulling his head down so that her breath tickled his neck.
"What's the matter don't you want to dance with me?" she moved her hips against him suggestively and felt his hands instantly tighten their grip on her ass.
"The last thing I'm thinking about doing with you right now is dancing" he growled "unless it's the horizontal version you're talking about".
"Later" she promised him a glint of mischief shining in her eye "right now I want to dance".
Haley turned around and Nathan felt the curve of her ass rubbing in small circles against his thighs. Her seductive moves had the desired effect and he forgot all about his brother and his girlfriend and instead concentrated all his attention on the way Haley felt against him. He slid his hands down to her hips holding her in place as he began to move his own hips in time with hers. She twisted around to face him looping her arms around his neck. One of his arms came around her to hold her close and she grinded her hips against his lost in the music. Taking one arm away from his neck she traced her fingers over the muscles of his chest before bringing it down to slide up under his shirt delighting in the feel of his warm hard flesh beneath her fingertips. The music ended and the lights came on signalling that it was time to close and she pulled back from him looking over his shoulder to where Brooke and Lucas had been dancing but they were no longer there. She scanned the rest of the club but only saw Tim and Theresa busy making out in a corner of the room. Lucas it appeared had left without her and there was no sign of Brooke, Peyton or Jake.
"Well looks like it's just you and me," she told him. "Shall we get out of here?"
"I'll call a cab," he told her.
Taking her hand he led her out of the club helping her to put her coat on and hugging her to his side as they stood out in the cold night air waiting for their cab. When it pulled up they got into the back seat and Haley gave her address to the driver before sliding into Nathan's lap and pulling his head down for a kiss. Nathan's hand slid under the hem of her dress caressing the smooth skin of her hip, treating the cab driver to more of a show then he had anticipated.
"Kids these days," he said wryly to himself "they don't care who sees them."
Back at Brooke's house the phone rang but she ignored it intent on ensuring that Lucas did not get away now that she finally had him.
Tearing his lips away from hers he asked, "aren't you going to answer that?"
"They'll call back if it's important," she said grabbing his head and pulling him back down to continue their kiss.
Sure enough the phone by her bed stopped its incessant ringing but was replaced moments later by the sound of her cell phone.
"I think you better get that," Lucas told her "whoever it is they're not giving up."
"Fine," she said and petulantly grabbed the phone snapping an unwelcoming "What?" as she hit the button to answer.
"Brooke, it's me. Thought you'd like to know…"
"Not now ok. Call me later."
"But you told me to call you if I saw him going to her place. They just got out of a cab and…."
"I told you not now," and she slammed the phone down turning back to a very drunk Lucas and pushing him forcefully down onto the bed.
"Now where were we?"
Several hours later Lucas woke up in a situation he was completely unaccustomed to. Hung over and without a clue where he was. Or for that matter who I'm with he thought as he became aware of a bare arm draped across his stomach. Warily he glanced down and almost had a heart attack as Brooke's sleeping face came into his view. What the Fuck did I do last night? Oh shit what about Haley? What happened to her? Completely freaked out he gently slid out from under Brooke's arm and quickly found his clothes and dressed. Moving quietly so as not to wake her he left her bedroom and found his way outside. Oh my god I can't believe what I did. I've just cheated on my girlfriend and slept with my brother's girlfriend. What sort of asshole does that make me? Pulling his cell phone out of his pocket he quickly scrolled through his phone book for a number. Finding the one he wanted he hit the call button and waited impatiently as it rang. Unfortunately there was no answer and he was forced to leave a voicemail.
"Hey Nate it's me Lucas. Something happened last night and I really need to talk to you. Can you give me a call when you get my message? Thanks bro. Talk to you soon. Oh and if I'm not answering my cell try me at Haley's I'm heading there now." Pushing the end button he left walking towards Haley's.
She lay half on top of him with her head on Nathan's chest one arm draped loosely across his stomach and a leg sprawled across his. His hand rested lightly on her bare ass. Neither one of them woke as the bedroom door opened quietly but were both jolted from their sleep as it was thrown the rest of the way open to crash against the wall. Sitting up Haley grabbed at the sheet trying to cover herself from his furious gaze.
"Lucas what are you doing here?" she asked.
His anger seemed to increase at her question. "What am I doing here?" he sputtered, "I'm your boyfriend. I think that gives me some right to be in your room. Certainly more than he has," he said jerking a thumb in Nathan's direction.
"Lucas I can explain."
"Explain what Hales? Explain what you're doing in bed with my brother? I'm not sure that that's an explanation I really want to hear right now."
Nathan had not said a word the entire time. But Haley had felt him move close behind her ready to jump in at the slightest indication that that was what she wanted.
"I can't believe you did this to me. All this time that I've talked about how innocent you are and you're nothing but a slut and a whore."
Lucas continued to rage at her and she could feel Nathan begin to tense up behind her.
"Don't talk about her that way." His voice was low but it was clear that he meant business.
"Why not? It's the truth isn't it?"
Nathan got up from the bed and made a lunge towards Lucas knocking him to the ground, driving a fist into his gut as he did so. Lucas momentarily winded regained his composure rapidly and landed a punch to Nathan's chin. Haley got up from the bed screaming at them to stop. They both ignored her and continued rolling around on the floor hitting out at each other whenever possible. She was at a complete loss as to how she could possibly get them to stop. Hoping that she was stronger than she thought she was. She grabbed onto Lucas trying to pull him off Nathan. Lucas flung his arm back to try and rid himself of her and the back of his hand connected with her face.
A.N Tell me what you think.
