Chapter 9- Nurse Nate

He caught her.

He carried her home and found the house key in her pocket. He unlocked the door and carried her to her room. Then, he carefully layed her out on the bed and put the covers over her. He then scurried off into the kitchen to make everything he could for her to eat.

He then, made his way back into her room, placed the tray of food down on the desk. He then, carefully sat on the bed next to her and shook her gently.

Nathan: Haley?

She gently stirred and he shook her again.

Nathan: Haley!

She gently opened her eyes, still incredibly weak.

Haley: where am I?

Nathan: at home, in your room

She looked confused.

Haley: And I got here, how?

Nathan: You fainted on out way home and I carried you here.

Haley: I'm sorry Nate, I really didn't mean to cause any trouble.

Nathan: No, no, it's fine. Just eat up, ok?

He went over and got the tray, then put it down on her lap, after she sat up.

Haley: Wow, thank you

Nathan: No Problem.

She started to scarf down all the food.

Nathan: Feeling better?

She nodded.

Nathan: You really, got to start eating all 3 meals at least.

She nodded and kept eating. Within 10 minutes, everything was gone.

Nathan: Good girl.

Haley: That was really good! I'm tired now though.

Nathan: Go to sleep. I'll go home ok?

Haley: No, stay, my parents are gone and I don't want to be alone. I mean, if it's no trouble.

Nathan: Actually, I was kind of hopping that you'd say that. Well, I'll let you sleep, and I'll take the couch.

Haley: Nonsense! You'll sleep with me. I just gotta go get my PJ's on.

He nodded as she got up and left the room. She peaked her head in.

Haley: The good thing about being a guy, is that you can take off your shirt and pants, because you have no boobs and are wearing boxers.

HE smiled and got the message. She left now, for good. He peeled off his shirt and pants. She then walked in. It was a simple pair of plaid lounge pants and a tank, but it sent him to the heavens. She walked over and he could feel her eyes burning on his chest.

Haley: Mr. Scott hides that body so well.

Nathan: Well, if I didn't, the girls would be hanging all over me.

They both giggled and got into bed. They each took a side and shut their eyes.

Nathan: G'night Hales

Haley: Sweet dreams Nate.

They both dozed off. Halfway through the night, Nathan woke up to a warm body next to his. Haley had tossed and turned until she was flush against his body, her head on his chest and her hand on his abs. He smiled, putting an arm around her and once again, fell asleep.

MORNING

The sun rose and shinned in his eyes as he felt her body against his bare chest. He recalled the events of last night and figured that he'd let her sleep. He watched her body fall and rise with each breath she took. She was an angel.

He layed like this and watched her for at least 45 minutes, until, her soul doors flooded open and she smiled up at him. He was smiling back.

Nathan: Morning

Haley: Good morning.

She looked down and saw the position they were in.

Haley: Sorry. I hope you weren't uncomfortable.

Nathan: No, it was fine.

He smiled. She stood up and started to go about her daily routine. She got dressed, and got her school bag together. He got dressed. When she re-entered the room, he had to look away, he had to do it.

Haley: Nathan, what's wrong?

Nathan: It's just, never mind.

She came and sat down next to him.

Haley: No, tell me.

Nathan: It's not something I can really say, there are no words to it.

Haley: Then, mime it out.

Nathan: Okay, but promise me that this won't affect our friendship.

Haley: Promise.

He worked up the courage and leaned in quickly, closing his eyes and gently pressing his lips to hers. He moved them over hers slowly and gently, until he felt her tongue in his mouth. Was she enjoying this? He then, placed his hands on her lower back and pulled her closer. Then, he pulled away. Just then, the door burst open and Dean entered. He took one look at Nathan and Nate, having his back to the door, couldn't see him. Dean cameup behind Nathan and wrapped his arm around his throat, starting to choke him.

Haley: Dean Stop!

Nathan brought his hands to Dean's arm, and in one swift motion, pulled his arm downward, then slipped out, twisting Dean's arm behind his back. Dean Squealed.

Dean: Let go

Nathan: No funny stuff, and not before I explain. Haley and I had detention yesterday, we came back here to study, and simply fell asleep, nothing went on.

Nathan let go and Dean just gave Haley and Nathan an evil look.

Nathan: Good bye Haley

Haley: By Nate

He walked out the door.
