CHAPTER ELEVEN

Nathan drove one handed as he held Haley's hand in the other, trying to comfort her. Haley looked up at him and smiled.

"Thanks Nate… I really appreciate this." "I'm your boyfriend… I want to be here for you, and I will always be here for you. Just remember that." "I will… same goes for you too. So where are we going?" "That's for me to know and you to find out… when we get there!" "You are sooo incredibly cruel. You have no idea how mean you are!"

Nathan pouted.

"Don't pout.. it makes you cute!" "Hales… I'm cute all the time."

Finally, they pulled up to their destination. It was about 10pm, so it was dark as they walked along the wharf behind Nathan's beach house. It was strung up with lights from the last party they had there, and they sat at the end, her on his lap with her head against his chest as they watched the waves lap gently against the wood holding the wharf. They sat in silence for a while, and Haley looked up at the stars above them.

"We should make a wish Nate." "Why?" "Why not?" "Because I've already got my wish and my dream come true. Why would I want anything more?" "What was your wish and your dream?" She asked, looking up at him.
"My wish was to fall in love, my dream was you." "What? Love? What?"

She watched Nathan as he seemed to fight with the emotions in his head. He looked out over the water, and then looked down at her. In a soft voice, barely above a whisper he said, "I love you."

She looked up at him and said, "You really aren't just basketball are you? I love you too Nate."

He smiled and they kissed. He wrapped her in his jacket as they stood up to walk down the beach. They were near Tim's beach house when they saw two figures making out on the wharf behind Tim's house. Haley started giggling and Nathan started laughing. At the same time, they both said, "Tim." "Taylor."

They left the couple to their privacy, and Nathan dropped Haley at Emily's. He walked her to the door and kissed her good night while giving her a hug. She snuggled into him more, and finally Emily came to the door. "Guys you've been standing on my doorstep for over ten minutes already. I'd accept it if you were making out in your car on the driveway.. but on my door step, that's kinda wrong."

Haley and Nathan both started laughing, and he promised to call her tomorrow. She watched him leave, and could not help the grin that crossed her face.
She told Emily about seeing Tim and Taylor on the wharf, and they both started laughing. It was good that Taylor had moved on from her crush on Luke, but the idea of Tim and Taylor together was quite funny, although they were perfectly suited.

They logged onto Emilys computer under Haley's user name.

Nsraven23: Hey beautiful Way2hott4u: Hey you Nsraven23: Enjoying your girls night?
Way2hott4u: yeah… but I still had fun with you tonight Nsraven23: I had fun with you too Way2hott4u: I'm glad… Emilys making gagging sounds in the background though, I better go.
Nsraven23: K I love you, night Way2hott4u: I love you too…. Sweet dreams

Emily slapped Haley playfully. "Dang girl you mentioned Tay and Tim… but the I love you's between you and Nate? You've been holding out on me!!"

"Oops… did I forget to mention that?" "Uh.. duh Haley." "Yeah… he told me tonight. See Em, he's not a bad guy." "Okay… I fully trust him now."

Taylor signed online. The girls both started giggling the second they saw her user name sign on.

Blondie4ever: You and Nate looked pretty cozy tonight Hales Way2hott4u: You and Tim looked like you were… getting to know each other.
Blondie4ever: So so so funny Hales. What does Em think?
Way2hott4u: She says good luck. But same rules apply, if he hurts you she gets to kick his ass.
Blondie4ever: Deal.
Way2hott4u: Tay, it's Em… you're never gonna believe what Scott told Hales tonight." Blondie4ever: What, that he's gay and running away with the circus?" Way2hott4u: That he loves her.
Blondie4ever: Awwwww. How's she going about her mom?
Way2hott4u: Won't talk about it… doesn't want to.
Way2hott4u: Tay thanks for the concern. But yeah, she can't stop me. I love him too. She can't change that fact. Blondie4ever: Who would've thought huh?
Way2hott4u: Who would've thought… Taylor Marcona and Tim Smith?
Blondie4ever: Hey shhh you. I better go, he's phoning me soon.
Way2hott4u: ohhh have fun. Luv ya Tay.
Blondie4ever: you too Hales and Em.

Emily and Haley get ready to go to sleep.

"Who would've thought we're all hooked up with our opposites." "What do you mean?" "Well Tim and Taylor. They're like hot and cold. You and Nate though… you're similar and then not similar at the same time. Shy (Emily's boyfriend) and I are completely different… but it's so much more fun. I am happy for you, despite the doubts I had at first." "Thanks, it does mean a lot. I just wish everyone had the same opinion as you."

They soon fell asleep after lapsing into silence, Haley still with a smile plastered across her face thinking of Nathan's words earlier.
