Chapter 15: You Can't See It…

iFLASHBACK

"He obviously doesn't love me. I knew it was too soon…" she said under her breath just as a confused Nathan entered the room.

END FLASHBACK/i

"Is that what you think?" Nathan said, startling Haley. She thought he'd stayed on the roof or left. "That I don't love you? That it's too soon for me to love you? Because that's what I ithought/i. These feelings just kept coming and I kept saying to myself that this couldn't be love. It was too soon. We've only been dating for a short while, how could I be in love."

"Nathan…" Haley tried to say.

"No wait. Just let me finish," he said as he let out a big sigh. "I thought I couldn't be in love with you, but then I thought about it and I don't really give a damn about how long we've been dating. I just give a damn about these feeling I have for you."

"Nathan…" Haley began again.

"Haley listen. These feelings, I've never felt them before and that scares me. I'm not used to needing someone. I was independent, I didn't need people, people needed me. That was, until you came along and flipped my world upside down. So yeah, I'm not as macho as I was, and I learned I'm a romantic but you know what? I don't care. All I care about is the fact that these feelings I have for you are real. This is not just like, or lust, or some stupid crush. This is love and it scares me. I've been denying it for the past couple week cause just like you, I thought it was too soon, but then I realized it's never too soon to be in love. So if you think I don't love you, then you're wrong. I wouldn't be here spilling my heart out to you if I didn't," he said as he extended his hand to help her up off the floor.

"Nathan…" Haley said, her eyes welled up with tears as she grabbed his hand and entered his embrace.

"And I know you're a big fan of that Orange Beach…"

"Laguna Beach Nathan…" Haley corrected.

"Anyway, it's not like I watch it or anything, but for the record, this is not as Talan says 'L-U-V' love, but L-O-V-E."

"Thanks for the clarification," Haley said giggling. "For the record, I L-O-V-E you too." With that she leaned on her tiptoes as Nathan leaned down and they shared a kiss. And that kiss turned into another, which turned into another, until they were having a full out make out session on the counter. They remained like that for quite sometime, allowing themselves to get lost in each other, but their passion was put to a holt when Nathan accidentally knocked the powdered sugar over onto Haley. The giant cloud spilled all over the side of her face.

"Nathan!" she squealed as she felt the powder hit her cheek.

"Oops," Nathan said as he began to laugh. "Let me help you with that," he said as he took his finger and wiped some off the top of her nose. "Mmm, tasty!"

"Nathan!" Haley giggled yet again. "What am I going to do? I can't go home with powder all over my face. My mom will think I'm even more of a nutcase then I am." She looked at Nathan and then looked over his shoulder and noticed something out the window. It had begun to rain. Actually, it was pouring. "I have an idea," she stated as she grabbed Nathan's hand and brought him outside to the sidewalk.

"Haley what are we doing! It's raining out," he questioned.

"Nathan, haven't you ever danced in the rain? Besides, it'll wash all the powder off my face."

"Haley, do I look like a guy who dances in the rain? Let alone, dance period."

"There's always room for change. Besides, its fun," Haley exclaimed as she began swaying her hips and moving her arms in the air. She loved the rain. There was just something about it that made her worries and cares go away. This was not the first time she'd danced in the rain. She used to do it all the time as a kid and then here mom would yell at her and tell her she would get pneumonia, but her mom wasn't here now. Nathan was.

"Haley, you're going to get pneumonia!" Nathan shouted as he stood in the rain watching her.

"Oh, Nathan quit being such a sissy! You sound like my mother! Now come on ya big baby and dance with me. No one's around to make fun of you and besides, I double dog dare ya."

"Well, I'm never one to pass up a dare," Nathan said as he walked over and grabbed Haley's hand, allowing her to do a couple twirls. They stayed like this for a few minutes just swaying back a forth with each other, Haley doing the occasional twirl.

"You know Nathan, you really are a bad dancer," she said jokingly.

"That's a great way to help my self-esteem Haley. And to think just minutes ago you told me you loved me."

"Oh Nathan, you know I'm only kidding," Haley said a shiver going down her spine. Nathan noticed this and got close to her, placing his hands on her arms and rubbing her to get warm. He was about to suggest they go back home when he got an idea.

"Alright, Haley I've got a question for you…"

"Give it to me Scott."

"Ever make out in the rain?"

"What? No," her eyes filling with lust and shock.

"I double dog dare ya," he said getting a little closer.

"Well, if you insist," Haley replied jumping into Nathan's arms and starting yet another heated make out session. He wrapped his arms around her tiny waste as she looped her legs around his torso. He walked them over to a nearby bench and they sat down. Haley stretched her legs out over his thighs and looked up at him with her chocolate filled eyes. He brought his hands up and cradled her face.

"I love you," he said genuinely.

"I love you too," Haley replied as she began to smile "And about what you said before, I'm glad you give a damn about the feelings you have for me too."

Nathan chuckled and then gave her a short yet passionate kiss. This of course in the heat of the moment, turned into yet again, another make out session. They stayed like that for what seemed forever, not caring that it was pouring or the fact that they would most probably regret it later on. The only problem however, was that they were not the only people enjoying this little "lovefest." Someone was watching. Someone hoping to cause trouble to this fairytale.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! It's got a lot of Naley cuteness lol. And I'm pretty proud I got this chapter up so soon! I hope again, that you enjoyed it. Leave reviews. The good, the bad, the happy the sad. They really mean a lot!
