Chapter 10
When they pulled away from their hug just a little so that they could look at each other Nate was the first to speak.
"Hales lets skip the party and just hangout just the 2 of us."
"I wasn't planning on going to the party earlier, but in a recent development a kinda wanna go just for a little while. And besides the team would kill me for keeping their highest scorer away from the big celebration. Just an hour?" Haley asked while batting her eyelashes
Nathan just laughed at this girl that he absolutely adored and agreed.
So they went to the party. Nate was wearing kakis and a blue button up shirt because they had to wear dress clothes on game days and Haley was still wearing her cheer leading uniform - not that either one cared what the other was wearing - they were just happy that they were finally together. They danced for awhile and talked to their friends and true to her word Haley told Nate when their hour was up and they left.
They walked back across campus hand in hand in a comfortable silence, each savoring the moment. When they got back to the dorm they got in the elevator and went to the 4th floor and when they got their Nate asked her which room she wanted to go to his or hers.
"Yours"
So they walked into his suite and he unlocked his door and they went inside, she sat down on the floor pillows next to Nate's bed and he sat next to her after he closed the door and flicked on the light.
"So were you really not gonna hang out with me any more Hales?"
"That was the plan. I couldn't take it anymore and I figured you would figure it out sooner or later and end our friendship anyway so I did it first." Haley said, tears coming to her eyes.
"Awww Hales don't cry. I'm sorry. This is my fault if I had been man enough to just tell you how I really felt neither one of us would have been in pain" He said pulling her into a hug. They sat their for a few moments holding on to each other. When he could tell that her tears had stopped he pulled away just a little and asked her if she wanted to watch a movie.
"Ya let me just go to my room and change"
"No don't go, just wear something of mine" he said and got up and rushed over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of sweat pants and a t- shirt and handed them to her. When he started to leave the room...
"Nate you don't have to leave just don't turn around"
"Ok"
Haley got up and changed and when she was done she threw her skirt at Nate and much to her surprise she actually hit him in the back of the head.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"To let you know I was done"
Upon hearing that Nate immediately spun around and started walking towards her. He stopped about 2 inches away from her, a huge grin plastered to his face.
"Do you know how incredibly sexy you look in my clothes?"
Haley started to blush and then Nate crashed his lips to hers, they didn't break until oxygen became an issue. They just stood there forehead to forehead looking at each other. Haley was the first to break the silence.
"What movie do you want to watch?"
"Why don't you pick something out while I change."
"Ok"
Haley moved to the TV to look at the movie selection and Nate moved back to his dresser and took out some sweats.
A/N Sorry to leave it there but I have to go meet my roommate. I'll try to get another update up today...if you reply.
