Finding Our Future ch14

In the early morning hours, Haley could feel her body breaking out into another cold sweat and getting that sick taste in her mouth again.

"Oh no!", she whispered softly while sitting up in bed, trying to figure out the best way to get to the bathroom without waking up Nathan.

Haley quickly climbed out the other side of the bed as quietly as possible, but being her usual clumsy self, she managed to trip over Nathan's shoes.

"Shit," she spoke a little louder than she expected.

"Hales, you okay?" Nathan commented to her.

"Yeah I was just going to the bathroom and was trying not to wake you," she answered looking over at him.

"Fuck, he looks so sexy without a shirt on, especially with his hair all messed up from sleeping", she thought staring at him a little.

"Are you feeling sick again?" He asked with concern in his voice sitting up.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll be fine, go back to sleep," she replied stepping into the bathroom without giving him a chance to respond.

A few seconds later, Nathan could hear her throwing up again, so he decided to get up and go check on her

"And you wanted me to let you go home earlier", he spoke seeing her lift her head up from the toilet

"What! You want me to turn around and say that you were right?" she questioned sarcastically.

"Well it would be nice to hear you admit that I was right about something", he replied smirking down at her.

"Go back to sleep Nathan," she groaned feeling herself about to throw up again.

Nathan laughed to himself as he watched the girl of his dreams get sick again, but instead of doing as Haley asked though, he walked over and pulled her hair out of her face.

"That might help," he commented to her, holding it in a ponytail.

"Here," she whispered while handing him a hair tie off her wrist.

"Well I'm not the best at doing hair, but at least it won't be in your face now", he spoke after putting it up and sitting down beside her.

"Thank you," she spoke again moving to sit beside him after flushing the toilet.

"You're welcome! If you're really lucky, after you finish puking, I can even wash it for you", he spoke pulling her into a side hug

"That sounds so good to me", she replied smiling at him as the thought of having to wash her own hair made her feel even more exhausted than she already was

After a few minutes of just sitting together on the bathroom floor, Nathan finally broke the silence between them.

"You ready for me to wash your hair?"

"Umm Nate you really don't have to do that," she spoke looking over at him.

"Actually I do because you have little bits of puke that need to be washed out", he confessed to her

"Gross," she spoke feeling around in her hair.

"Hales don't worry, I have seen a lot worse over the years."

"Okay", she spoke taking her hair out of the messy ponytail that Nathan had put it in earlier.

"I'll be right back," he spoke getting up.

"Where are you going?"

"Just trust me," he spoke exiting the bathroom.

Haley sat and waited for Nathan and just reflected on the nights events, realizing just how sweet and caring Nathan had been to her.

"Got it," he spoke coming back into the bathroom and breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Well I didn't want to wash your hair with my shampoo and have you complaining that you smelled like a guy, so I remembered that my mom had left some here from her last visit", he explained while holding up the bottle of shampoo.

"Perfect!"

Nathan quickly reached up and turned on the shower head, testing the water with his fingers to make sure it wasn't too hot for her.

"Okay Hales, lean your head back and let me know if this temperature is too hot", he spoke as he started to get her hair wet.

"It's perfect," she spoke enjoying the water against her head.

"God Haley, how did you manage to get so much puke in your hair?" he questioned seeing it all come out in the bath.

"Hey, you try having long hair and getting sick about six times in one night", she answered back to him.

"Good to see that you haven't lost your feisty spirit", he said as he started to gently massage the shampoo into her scalp

"That feels so good," she whispered starting to relax for the first time that night.

"Glad, you like it," he commented looking down seeing the small smile on her face.

"Yeah, when did you get so great at washing hair? she questioned him curiously.

"Well I do wash my own hair," he joked to her.

"Don't be such a smart ass, she chuckled out loud. I was giving you a compliment", she spoke opening her eyes and seeing him smirking down at her

"I don't know Hales, I guess I just got good over the years with all the showers I would take from playing basketball so much", he said as he washed out all the shampoo.

"Fair enough" she spoke leaning forward and trying to wipe away some of the water that had dropped down the back of her neck.

"Here," he spoke handing her a clean towel to use.

"Thanks," she whispered softly to him.

"You're all ready for your beauty sleep now." He spoke grabbing the towel from her and wrapping her hair up.

"Nathan, do you think..."

"Think what?" He asked seeing the worry on her face.

"You could get into bed with me this time and just cuddle until I fall asleep like we did before?," she spoke nervously.

"Anything for you Hales," he spoke helping her up and heading back to bed together, hoping to finally get a good night sleep.

Hi all, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
