Chapter Eleven

It was good to finally be benefiting with Nathan again. I mean, 3 years without sex is a long, long, LONG time! Now that I have Nathan again I can have sex anytime I want! Well, as long as Megan is asleep or at Brooke's or Peyton's. Waking up next to his warm body was something I definitely didn't mind! I didn't dare move from his arms; mostly from fear of waking him.

I turned my head to look at him. He must have been having a good dream because there was a huge grin planted on his face. I smiled as it grew. He mumbled some gibberish and snuggled me in closer to him. "Oh, Hales." I managed to understand.

Shock was definitely something I was feeling. He was dreaming about me? Well, I am sleeping with him so I guess it does make some sense. I grinned, deciding to mess with his head. "What Natey?" I whispered.

"You're so sexy," he said with a goofy smile replacing his grin.

I tried not to laugh. "Nathan, you're the hot and sexy one," I whispered.

His smile dropped some. "You are the hot and sexy one," he mumbled. "Why aren't you naked yet?"

I grinned at this. "Why don't you take my clothes off, Nate," I asked.

His eyes opened and he replied, "Okay."

I jumped in his arms. It was all an act! "Nathan!" I whined. "I was having so much fun!"

He laughed. "Did you really think I would say those things?" he asked and then clicked his tongue. "Haley, Haley, Haley, you're such a bad girl. I think I need to give you a spanking!"

I raised an eyebrow, glaring at him. "Shut up, Nathan! You were messing with me, too!"

"MAMA!"

I moved out of his arms and put on my robe. I walked out of our room and to the living room where Megan was calling from. "What are you doing out here, peanut?" I asked, sitting beside her on the couch.

She shrugged. "You and dada were still seepin'! I wanna watch Dora!"

I smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "Dora it is," I replied with a nod. I stood up and popped in her tape.

"Yay!" she exclaimed and then watched the program, focusing intently.

Nathan came out of our bedroom, clad in just his boxers. I moved to the kitchen and began the preparations for chocolate chip pancakes, his favorite. I saw out of the corner of my eye that he kissed Megan and was now heading my way. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. We were starting to act all coupley. I didn't really know if I liked it or not…

"What are you doing?" he asked, kissing my cheek.

I leaned back into his chest. "Making chocolate chip pancakes," I replied with a shrug.

He smiled, a laugh bubbling at his throat. "And why are you making my favorite breakfast? Are you trying to brib me? Do I have to do something now?"

I turned in his arms, a grin plastered on my face. "Why would you go and say something like that, Nate? That hurts my feelings!"

He shook his head. "You're up to something, woman, and I will find out," he said and moved to the fridge.

I smiled, having won the battle. "Whatever Nathan," I said. "I'm up to anything other than 5'5."

The pancakes were done shortly and I convinced Megan to leave the TV long enough to eat them. "Mama?" she asked quietly.

I gave her a smile. "Yes, baby?"

"Do you love daddy?" she asked.

I was confused as to why she asked, but answered anyways. "Yes, I do, Peanut."

"Do Auntie Bookie love Unca Lucas?" she asked, quirking her head.

I nodded. "She sure does and he loves her very much, too."

"And do auntie Peyton love Unca Jake?"

I nodded. "They sure do, baby girl, but what's with the questions?"

"Well, if you love dada like my aunties love my uncas den why you not marry daddy like dey did?"

I sighed, not really knowing what to say to her. I looked to Nathan for help who looked like a deer in headlights. I turned back to her. "Baby girl, it's more complicated then you can understand, okay? When you're older you'll be able to understand and I'll tell you," I replied. It was the only thing I could think of to tell her.

She nodded and went back to eating. Shortly thereafter she was full and scampered off to her bedroom. I looked over at Nathan who was staring at me. "What?" I asked.

He just shook his head. "I knew it was only a matter of time before she asked one of us that," he replied. He stood up, taking my plate and his own. "She wouldn't understand if we told her, you know?"

I nodded. "I know, that's why I said I'd tell her when she was big enough to understand," I said and walked over to the sink to help with the dishes. "She's only three and she just wants her parents to be together."

"Well we practically are, Hales," he pointed out. "We are sleeping together and we have a daughter. That's pretty much as close as they come without being married."

I shook my head. "Nathan, we're best friends! I mean, I love you as my best friend. Sure, we're sleeping together but that doesn't mean we're dating each other. All it means is that we're sleeping together, end of story," I said, drying a plate.

He looked at me, a weird expression on his face. I quirked my eyebrow but he just shook his head. "I'm gonna go lie down for a little while," he said, drying his hands. "I'm not feeling so well."

I nodded. "Okay, feel better," I replied to his back. I shook my head and turned to finish the dishes.

"Mama? Kin you pway wif me?" Megan asked, tugging on my pants.

I smiled down at her. "Sure, baby girl. Let's go play!" I exclaimed and chased her into her room.
