Oh and thank you for your wonderful replies...they make my day
Chapter 15
'We live in a cynical world, a cynical, world, and we work in a business of TOUGH competitors……I love you…YOU…complete me. And I just had-'
'Just shut up…just…just shut up. You had me at hello…you…you had me at hello.'
"Oh my gosh…that gets me every time" Brooke wept as she lay sprung out on the living room sofa her legs on Rachel's lap and her head in Haley's , as they all sat and watched Jerry Maguire. "Wouldn't it just be the greatest thing in the world to be told 'You complete me'….ah I want a Jerry Maguire for myself" She gushed.
Rachel rolled her eyes and flicked Brooke's foot "Gosh, it is just a movie Brooke."
Brooke let out a gasp and sat up so she her head wasn't in Haley's lap anymore and flicked Rachel back "Say's the girl that goes crazy at any Jim Carey movie….hum yeah you can talk honey. And besides, it was a very gushy moment…Haley would agree with me wont you babe?"
"Huh?" Haley asked when she heard her name being said. She had been in a world of her own every since the movie was put on.
Oh my god it is nearly finished?? Geese…
Brooke and Rachel both looked at each other and Brooke raised her eyebrow. "No tears? Haley is not crying in a film? Wow I never thought I would see the day…did you actually watch the movie Hales?" She joked whilst leaning back down in the position she was before.
Haley automatically picked up a piece of Brookes dark brown hair and started threading it through her fingers. Anything to divert her attention from the thing she had non- stop been thinking about.
"Haleey" Rachel said knowingly "What's on your mind honey? Is it Nathan? Look I am sure this date…whatever thing it is, will be nothing. He will just listen to what she has to say and that will be the end of it"
Damn. I hate it when they know stuff I don't want them too. Haley inwardly groaned. But then again, she loved it. There is nothing better than your friends comforting you in your time in need. Haley just hated it that her 'Time in need' seemed to be coming up a lot recently.
"I know I just can't help but worry, I mean we had such a great time last night and he promised me that he doesn't hold feelings for her still but…I don't know…I cant help but feel Peyton is going to say something that will change his mind. She did pretty well convincing me of her love for him yesterday …but I know she is up to something." Haley narrowed her eyes. " At first I thought she was so friendly and all…but now…ahh well I just don't believe her."
………..
Nathan couldn't help but keep looking at his watch. She was 45 minutes late…
Where the hell is she?
He could see that people were giving him sympathetic looks across the restaurant… and he hated it. He felt like he was being stood up or something…well technically he was but that was beside the point. He knew he should never have agreed to this meeting/date…whatever the stupid thing was called. He would much rather spend his night taking Haley out….or hell spending the night in with Trixie watching TV would be much better than this. But what would be even better would be to do both, just like he did last night.
……Flashback…….
As soon as Haley walked through the font door of Nathan's HUGE apartment she was met by a gorgeous chocolate Labrador pouncing on her with all her strength "So this is the famous Trixie huh?" Haley laughed as she leant down to stroke the dog, only to be received with a big wet tongue licking her face.
Nathan couldn't help the loud chuckle irrupting from his body as he stood and watched Haley try to get away from his dogs hungry tongue.
"You want some help there?" He asked, still vigorously laughing his head off.
Haley looked up at Nathan and gave him an annoyed glare "Yeah I wouldn't mind" It wasn't that she didn't like dogs…because she did…she would have to if she lived with Brooke. But, when a dog is continuously leaving slobber all over your face and now your clothes…you kind of want to get out of that situation and not have someone laugh at you.
"Trixie! Go to bed!" He shouted, causing Haley to jump out of her skin. Surprisingly, the dog did as it was told and padded all the way to its little doggy basket.
Oh my gosh, is that just the cutest thing I have seen or what? Haley mentally cooed and she took notice of the red chequered fleecy basket which on the front had a white dog bone stitched to it and then in big black letters the words 'Trixie Scott' embroidered to it.
Haley watched the dog curl up inside and she could have sworn she looked like she was sulking. "Oh, you didn't have to shout at her…she would have got enough eventually right?"
Nathan smiled at the way Haley was sticking out her bottom lip as she continued to watch Trixie. She is just so cute.
"Umm no she wouldn't, and besides she doesn't care that she gets shouted at…it's the only way to get something through her mind, I swear she is like a little kid or something" He laughed whilst shaking his head. "He then pointed to his kitchen "You want something to drink? I have vodka" He hinted.
Haley shook her head whilst following him into the kitchen "Err no…at least I don't want no alcohol. I have work tomorrow…I can't be hung over for it"
"Such a way to suck up to the boss" Nathan joked as he pulled open the fridge door so he could see what soft drinks he held.
Haley jokingly gasped "What? Me? Never!" She then walked up behind Nathan and whispered in his ear "Is it working?"
The way Haley's whisper tickled his ear; it sent a shiver through his body. Nathan swiftly turned his body around, his arms finding place around her waist and a fully firmed smirk plastered on his face. He then leaned his head down so his mouth was a breath away from Haley's. "Humm, I don't know…you may have to do something else to fully make me happy"
Nathan was just about to lean down that fraction more so that he would be able to kiss her, however Haley moved her face to the side.
"Nathan?" She timidly asked. When Nathan stepped back so that he could look her in the face she carried on "Have you maybe got any clothes I can borrow? Like a spare pair of shorts or something?"
Okay, so now I am officially confused! Nathan thought with a chuckle.
"Yeeah" He hesitantly replied "May I ask why?"
"Well its just…" Haley then looked down at her clothes "Well your dog left all slobbery stuff on my dress and I smell" She pouted.
This time Nathan couldn't hide the laughter that irrupted in him as he burst out in a fit of giggles.
Haley narrowed her eyes and swatted him on the arm "Hey! I am serious!"
"Oh, I'm sorry" Nathan said softly. But he still had a big smile on his face. "Just take anything out of my bottom draw in my bedroom."
When Haley nodded and walked out of the kitchen, Nathan blew out a deep breath.
Oh man, I am seriously falling this girl.
He then too walked out of the kitchen, only to see Haley crouching down and stroking Trixie. She whispered something in her ear and then made her way into the bedroom. Trixie sure did look happy, he thought with a smile when she jumped up out of the basket and leaped over to him.
Nathan sat on the couch and started stroking the dog's ears. "You like her huh?" When Trixie, enthusiastically barked back he knew the answer was yes. "Good me too"
She is everything!
Nathan was brought out of his conversation with Trixie by the loud sound of the bedroom door closing with a thud.
"Gosh Nathan, how big are your clothes?" He heard Haley say. Already feeling himself laugh, Nathan cocked his head so that he could see her…… he literally lost his breath!
"Oh man!" He breathed out as he took in the vision before him. There Haley stood; set in one of his baggy pair of basketball shorts (they had to be rolled up several times of course) and one of his white baggy T-shirts. She was sexy as hell.
Standing up from his position on the couch he made his way over to her in three full strides and pulled her lips to meet his. Haley was completely caught of guard, but soon let his prodding tongue, which was nipping at her bottom lip, full access to her mouth. When air became a major necessity for the couple they breathlessly pulled away.
"What was that for?" Haley softly asked as Nathan leant his forehead against hers.
Nathan let out a soft laugh before replying "Well lets just say…I think you should definitely not wear this to work."
Haley kinked her eyebrow up in utter confusion "What? Why would I do that?"
Nathan smirked before dropping another soft kiss on her lips "I'm not saying you would, I am just saying you shouldn't. Because, if you wear that…well lets just say I wouldn't be able to keep the Boss/worker thing up for too long if you know what I mean"
Haley screwed her face up before realising herself from Nathan's arms "Come one Nathan, your making me blush…" She whined.
"What?" Nathan asked before bringing her back to him "I am serious, if you ever want to know what the sexist thing I have ever seen before is…well I think you have your answer right here."
"Your lying!"
"Am not!"
"Yeh huh!"
"Nu huh!"
"Yeh huh"
"Nu huh"
"Okay stop" Haley laughed before kissing Nathan with much force.
……….end of flashback…………
"Nathan!"
Nathan was quickly brought out of his memories from the night before by a loud shrilling voice saying his name. He couldn't help but cringe when he heard it.
Okay…here we go…..
……………
Tell me what you think...
