Chapter 7: Laid back life
Nathan and Haley were sitting watching TV and movies.
Nathan decided to get up and said he was going to go to the bathroom but he really went up to his room. He started to look at some pictures that were scattered about his room. He saw some that had just been taken of him and Haley and examined them more closely.
The first one he saw was of them at their picnic in the park from the other day.
Flashback
"Nathan, we can't do that here. People are watching." Haley said as Nathan kissed her neck in the spot that he knew she couldn't resist. She started to give in, but then took their surroundings in again and stopped herself. "Nathan, we can't. Not here."
"It's just kissing, Haley."
"We just...can't"
"OK. Let's take pictures then." Nathan said as he grabbed a camera
"No Nathan. I hate the way I look on camera."
"Why is it that girls always hate getting their picture taken?"
"I just don't like the way I look." Haley answered
"Well I do." Nathan said as he kissed her and took a picture of the two of them kissing."
End Flashback
Nathan returned downstairs and him and Haley went out onto the beach. They were walking hand in hand on the beach when Haley took her sandals in her hand and ran to where the water and beach met to get her feet wet.
"Come on Nathan. Join me."
"No thanks. Don't like getting my feet wet."
"Fine."
Haley looked as Nathan went ahead. She decided to be impulsive and jumped onto his back. He staggered, not ready for the sudden attack, and then fell onto the beach. They landed and somehow Haley ended up below him.
"Are you OK?" Nathan asked, whispering
Haley nodded "Mmm hmmm."
Nathan was in push up position and went down and captured her lips in his. They laid there kissing on the beach until they heard a voice.
"You should really think about doing that in a less public place." coach whitey Duram said
"Sorry coach" Nathan said as he wiped his mouth
"Yeah, well just drag your scrawny ass to the gym on Monday without your girlfriend."
"OK."
"As you were" coach said as he walked away
Haley laughed and slowly stood up "We should probably head back to your house."
Nathan and Haley watched countless movies. Most were guys movies but some of them were movies that Deb had left there and they were they kind of movies that Haley wanted to watch. Nathan was getting into the movie and he briefly looked over at Haley and noticed that she was crying.
"Haley, whats the matter?"
"Oh, Nathan, nothing. I'm fine.
"Then why are you crying?"
"I'm just being stupid. You don't need to worry."
"Are you sure?" Haley nodded "Do you want to go to bed?"
"Yeah" Haley responded
They walked upstairs and Nathan gave Haley some of his clothes for her to change into. Then Nathan tucked Haley into bed and started to walk out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
"I was just going to sleep downstairs. You know, give you a little space."
"I don't need space, I need you." Haley said and Nathan laid down next to her on the bed and wrapped his arms around her. He could feel Haley drift off to sleep and her breathing steadied.
"I love you." Nathan whispered before he fell fast asleep
The next morning
Nathan woke up to an empty bed and wondered where Haley could have gone to. He got up and was bombarded with smells of delicious food.
Nathan saw Haley with her back turned to him making french toast. He slipped his arms around her waist. He felt her tense up and then relax once she realized who it was that was touching her.
"Hey"
"Hey yourself. Thought you might be hungry."
"You thought right. You know, you are the best thing in my life right" Nathan was trying to work up the courage to say those three words when--
"Nathan Scott. What are you doing here with that girl?" Dan Scott spoke, loudly, causing their heads to snap in his direction
"That girl? Dad, that girl is my girlfriend. I love her."
"You do?" Haley asked
"Don't you?"
"Of course I do." Haley said and then Nathan picked her up and swung her around while kissing her. Her legs wrapped around his waist and they completely forgot the other person that was occupying the room.
"That's real nice Nate. Now that that's over with, your coming with me." Dan grabbed Nathan's wrist and tried to pull him
"No" Nathan said, pulling his body out of his fathers grasp.
"Nathan just come with me."
"No. I'm staying here with Haley."
"Like hell you are." Dan said as his hand clenched into a fist and launched at his son but a body got in the way and Nathan did not get touched. The person, who was hit, hit the floor and went unconscious from the impact of the hit.
