"Hey!" Buffy yells while holding up Faith's knife, "You remember this? I took it from Faith. Stuck it in her gut. Just slid in her like she was butter." Buffy tainted Mayor Wilkins "You want to get it back from me …Dick?"
Haley, Brooke, and Peyton spent all day Saturday pigging out on junk food and watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They had already done all of their shopping for Christmas and the boys still hadn't bought anything. Nathan was slowly getting better, but he still had to take it easy and stay inside.
"Aww…that episode was soo sad. I can't believe Angel just left like that with out even saying good bye to Buffy." Brooke told Haley and Peyton.
"Brooke it's just a T.V. show and he told her he wasn't gonna say goodbye." Haley informed her.
"I know, but I still don't like it." Brooke defended her point.
"Alright ladies…that's too much Vampire/Slayer drama for you two. Let's watch a different show." Peyton suggested, "Or get some more food." Right when Peyton said that all three girl's stomachs grumbled.
"I guess food it is." Haley giggled. The girl's spent the rest of the afternoon with no "guy" interruptions. By 2:00 Haley was itching to see Nathan and to make sure that he was alright and not too bored. I mean he did have to stay in bed all day and had no one to talk to him. Luke and Jake were out doing something for Christmas. So Haley got up off the couch in the middle of a Boy Meets World marathon, she made her way down the hallway and towards the bathroom.
"Hey Tutor Girl…where ya going?" Brooke asked
"Oops caught." Haley thought, "Just the bathroom." She told Brooke. When she got into the bathroom she shut the door, locked it, and made her way to the window. Once she got the window open she carefully and quietly snuck out.
"I can't believe I'm sneaking out of my own house." Haley said to herself. She walked the thirty second walk to Nathan's front door. She tried the door knob and found it unlocked. She looked downstairs but didn't find him anywhere, so she climbed the stairs and decided to check his room. She knocked lightly. No answer. She slightly opened the door and peeked inside. There she found Nathan sprawled on his bed sleeping like a baby. Haley crept into his room, took off her shoes, and crawled into bed with him. Feeling the extra weight on the bed Nathan slowly started to wake up, but then he smelt her lavender fragrance and just pulled her closer to him. They both fell asleep soon after. About five hours later Haley slowly woke up. She looked at the clock and noticed it was 7:03.
"Wow I've been asleep for five hours." Haley thought, "I guess watching all those Buffy episodes made me "dead" tired." Haley chuckled lightly at her own joke. Haley's light laugh brought Nathan from his deep sleep. The first thing he did when he woke up is pulled Haley towards him and kissed her lightly.
"Morning Nathan." Haley said, "Well actually I guess its night." She giggled
"Uh huh soo tomorrow's Christmas." Nathan said, "What are we doing?"
"Well you, mister, are coming over to my house and spending the day with your wonderful girlfriend." Haley informed him
"Oh so my girlfriend is wonderful now?" Nathan asked
"You know it. Now what do you want to eat and don't try and tell me your not hungry cause I can feel your stomach growl." Haley said
"Haley I can move and I don't wanna spend my day in bed anyways." Nathan whined
"Okay you don't have to spend your day in bed, but you have to spend it on the couch." Haley sternly told him, "Plus there's not that much of the day left anyways."
"Alright let's make a deal. You make us some dinner and watch the i Goonies /i with me and I'll promise to spend the rest of today and tomorrow on the couch. Deal?" He asked
"Deal; now what do you want to eat?" Haley made Nathan (what else?) Mac n' cheese for dinner and they sat down and watched the Goonies. During the part where they play the old organ so the bridge lowers down, Haley fell asleep. Nathan stayed up and carefully removed himself from Haley's arms. He got a blanket and covered her up. Then he went into his room and pulled out two of his old stockings. He hung them on the mantle and placed all sorts of stocking stuffers inside them. He went back to his room and grabbed Haley's present and stuck it by the fireplace. They didn't get a Christmas tree this year, because 1. They didn't want to buy/move one and 2. They aren't there parents and therefore they have no decorations. Then he climbed on to the couch and some how managed to comfortably fit both himself and Haley on it.
Christmas Morning
The next morning Haley woke up to the smell of banana pancakes (woot woot Jack Johnson), bacon, and eggs. She got up and went into the kitchen, noticing the stockings and the gift. Nathan was in the kitchen cooking in his Santa boxers. Haley chuckled at what she saw. Seriously if you saw your hot boyfriend in Santa boxers you would laugh, too. Nathan turned around at her laughter.
"Like what you see?" He cockily asked
"Uh huh…Santa was always my #1 man on my list." She giggled, "Now where's my food?" she joked. Nathan got a plate and put huge amounts of each food on the plate, he handed it to Haley.
"What am I supposed to do with all this food? I can prolly only eat half of all of this." Haley said.
"Yeah right, knowing you, you'll eat the whole plateful of food." Nathan joked.
"Yeah you're right." She giggled. Haley had been doing that a lot. Giggling that is. She didn't know why but whenever she was around Nathan he always made her giggle. They finished there breakfast with simple small talk here and there.
"Alright missy it's time to see what your #1 man brought you for Christmas." Nathan teased. He grabbed her hand and led her back onto the couch. He handed her, her stocking first. She carefully removed every item. Inside was the standard stocking stuffers. You know candy, things you really don't need, etc. She thanked him with a passionate kiss.
"If that's the way I get treated after giving you a simple gift I'm gonna do it more often." Nathan joked. He then handed her the gift he got her. She tore off the wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside she found a picture frame/colleague of Nathan and her hanging out, at school, and just together. Underneath that she found the original Ocean's Eleven. She had been looking all over for it for over a month and couldn't seem to find it. Then she saw a little tiny box, one that hold's jewelry in it. When she opened the box she gasped (huh!..:lol:…) inside was the simplest diamond earrings. How he knew that she liked simple and not extravagant was beyond her. She jumped in to his lap and kissed him all over. Then she took out her silver studs and placed the diamonds in.
"They look beautiful on you." Nathan sincerely stated.
"Thanks you. Now mister you have to wait for your present. At the hospital I told you what I got you. Do you remember what I said?" Haley asked. Nathan noticed the hopeful look in her eyes and decided it was best to lie.
"Nope not a word." He lied. They spent the next hour and a half watching Ocean's Eleven. When it was over Nathan put on some basketball shorts and a shirt and Haley just grabbed one of his sweatshirts and they headed next door. When they got there Brooke, Peyton, Lucas, and Jake were all sitting around watching Miracle on 34th Street and drinking hot cocoa. Nathan and Haley grabbed some cocoa and watched the rest of the movie with their "family". The rest of the day was spent watching old Christmas classics like White Christmas and Holiday Inn and opening gifts. This day would be a memory that would last a life time.
