Chapter 23
Haley's face was as red as a cherry as they walked over to the elevator after they had gotten themselves resituated. They walked in silence for tow reasons 1. Haley was embarrassed by her actions and 2. Nate felt like he had pushed her and he felt awful.
They got in the elevator and turned to each other at the same time
"I'm sorry" they said in unison.
Then Haley just started laughing. She realized that she didn't really have a reason to be embarrassed and Nate probably enjoyed it.
"Haley J. Why are you laughing?"
"How can I no laugh? You have been so good about not pushing me to go further than I was ready to and I friggen start stripping you of clothes in the library. What isn't funny about that? If that old man hadn't come you probably woulda gotten lucky"
"Hales I would of stopped us. I don't want our first time to be in the library, I want it to be special. But ya now that you mention it is pretty funny. And I really am sorry I never meant for it to get as far as it did"
"Don't worry about it. It was the best study break I've ever had" she said and then winked at him.
They got off the elevator on the 3rd floor and finished the things that they had due the next day and then they packed up and headed back to their dorm. When they got back to their floor they said good night at the elevator and shared a sweet kiss.
"See ya in the morning babe" she said
"Sweet dreams Hales."
"Geez Hales did you finish every single thing you had due this week? You were at the library forever." Peyton said as Haley walked into their room.
Haley just laughed.
"I wish I got everything done, but we took a study break on the 8th floor"she replied
Brooke and Peyton gasped and Haley told them the story.
"Looks like our Haley is sexually frustrated" Brooke said laughing. Haley threw a pillow at her.
"Shut up Brookie. It isn't funny. I don't know what to do. I love him and I can picture our future together but at the same time I'm scared. I mean what if I'm not good and he breaks up with me or something?" Haley said clearly concerned
"Hales, we've been best friends since we were born, and all our live you have put other people's happiness before your own. Anyone can see that you and Nathan are deeply in love. And from what you said happened tonight it seems like you think you're ready. Talk to Nate about it."
"Ya Hales, Nate really cares about you and I highly doubt he turn you down if you propositioned him so to speak" Brooke added
"Thanks you guys. So were you guys productive?"
"Ya we got lots done but thats beside the point Hales. Lets go laungere(sp?) Shooping tomorrow. We deserve a break from all this studying and you obviously need to be away from Nate for a bit." Brook said
"Ya Haley, you can't say no. Besides I wanna get some stuff to. I wanna surprise Jake." Peyton said
"Ok ok." she said.
Meanwhile in the boys room...
Nathan had just stormed into his room all flustered and told the guys what happend.
"She took your shirt off?" Luke said a little surprised, usually Haley was so conservative.
"And a security guard caught you guys?" Jake said with a chuckle.
"Ya, but I don't know what to do. I mean she said I would have gotten lucky. So does that mean she wants to and I can kinda push a little now or do I still wait for her to come to me and say she is ready?"
"Well it sounds like she is ready, you obviously aren't the only sexually frustrated one in the relationship." Luke told his brother with a slight chuckle. Sure, he felt bad for his brother but the situation was funny.
"Thanks Luke, you a huge help" Nate quipped.
"Nate, chill. Spring break is next week why don't you just take a breather from her tomorrow and then you guys can figure everything out over break.
