Chapter Two: Swimming in Your Blue Eyes
Nathan's POV
I was enjoying my beer, loving the sight I was seeing. She was in jeans and a plain green tee shirt, her beautiful blonde hair blowing in the wind. She looked simple to most, but to me she looked gorgeous. She looked a lot better then the girls he was used to dating. Heck, he was ten times better looking then the girl he was dating right now.
I was deep in thought, staring at my hands, when I looked out my window again. Her brown eyes were staring back at me, causing a shiver to go up my spine. Her gaze almost made me go weak at the knees, not just the fact that I had weak knees. I smiled at her and to my surprise, she smiled back. We looked at each other for a while but I was snapped back into reality by the sound of the phone ringing. Not wanting to be pulled away, I let it ring, keeping my eyes held on the genuine figure writing frantically in her notebook. I was watching her intently until a shrill and ragging voice filled the room. It was coming from my answering machine.
"Nathan." it whined. "Nathan!"
I got up and answered the phone, "Hi, Rachel."
Haley's POV
I was looking at him, completely lost in the moment, listening as the words went through my mind. I was going to write them down but then he smiled at me. I blush, deeply ashamed that a guy I didn't even know had that effect on me. Still, I smiled back, for the fear that I would appear rude.
We continued to stare for a couple more seconds until a ding went off in my head. The song was finished. All I had to do now was break our starefest long enough to write it down.
Hating to leave the warmness of his look I turned my attention back to my notebook, writing the song down as quickly as my hand could operate, trying not to lose the perfect song.
After a stimulating three minutes of outstanding song writing, I was finished. I checked the clock on my phone, it was three thirty and I had to be at the docks to meet Tim. While I was picking up my things, I looked back at the window one last time.
Noticing that his back was turned, screaming in anger at the telephone, a brilliant idea popped into my head. Running up to his beach house, I kissed the paper containing my lyrics so that a red mark in the shape of my lips were left in the top right corner.
I had no clue what was possessing me to do this, but it was too late to turn back now. I placed my lyrics on the welcome mat and knocked on the door, soon running off into the horizon, hoping for the best.
Nathan's POV
"Hey, Nate. Are you coming to diner tonight?" Rachel asked
"Why should I?" I barked bitterly. I was still mad at her for what she did at the party the night before.
"Because Brooke and Lucas are joining us." At that my stomach dropped. I wasn't so sure if I wanted girlfriend number one and girlfriend number two in the same room together.
"No, I think I'm just going to take a walk along the docks tonight."
"Okay, I'll come with you. A romantic walk before a sex filled night is perfect." she smiled seductively, even though I couldn't see it, I knew she was. "Meet me at the docks at nine."
I sighed, really not wanting to. She was clingy and that was really starting to creep me out, especially when I wanted to be alone in the first place. I heard a knock at my door.
"Fine, I'll see you at nine."
Rachel laughed and I hung up the phone before she could say another word. I opened the door, no one was there. Looking around I figured it was a kid playing a prank. Just as I was going to close the door I found a piece of paper on the ground, lipstick kiss in the corner. I knew it had to be from the girl.
I took my seat at the window again and began to read it over, my stomach doing flip flops through the whole thing.
The
first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your
eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the
dark and the end of the skies
I smiled at this, thinking of how beautiful she could make anything sound.
And
the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in
my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was
there at my command, my love
At this I laughed. We had never kissed but as I kept reading, I knew that if we did, it would turn out exactly like this.
And
the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to
mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, till
the end of time, my love
My heart trembled, wanting her so badly. Wanting to lay next to her, to protect her, to feel the heat of her body. I knew, that I had to make her mine. I was in the love with her. I knew I would love her for the rest of the time. I knew I would love her always and forever, the first time I ever saw her face.
The
first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your
face...
A/N 2: This song is called First Time I Ever Saw Your Face written by Roberta Flack. I also never did the whole disclaimer thing on this chapter or my last one, so, I don't own One Tree Hill. All I own are the season DVD's and the pictures of James Lafferty's hot body glued in my mind.
