Why the hell is it so bright? I groaned and rolled over on my stomach to block out the bright light that was disrupting my peaceful slumber. Five minutes later when I was still aware of my consciousness, I flopped back over on my back and sat up. The curtains on my window were pulled back and the december sun was shining through. It didn't look cold outside, but in North Carolina at this time of year it was freezing. I glanced over to the clock that was on the bed stand: 11:48. Deciding I should probably get up and start my day, I jumped out of bed and headed to the kitchen.

I felt extra hungry today for some reason so I made myself some french toast instead of the usual Rice Crispy Treats. Making breakfast was my specialty, besides Mac an' Cheese, it was pretty much the only thing I could really make.

I darted up the stairs when I heard my phone going off, Peyton was calling I could tell from her ringtone. Her attitude from yesterday had not left my mind, and I would hopefully talk to her about it.

"Hey," I greeted her through the phone.

"Hey, can you do me a huge favor?" Her tone kind and friendly, not at all what it was yesterday.

"Yeah sure."

"Will you cover me at the cafe, Larry is leaving on another trip and I wanted to see him off? Can you do that for me?"

"Sure of course, what time?"

"Two to six, that okay?"

I smiled even though she couldn't see it, "don't worry about it. I can cover it."

"Thanks James, you're a life savor."

"No need to tell me," she laughed at my comment. We said our goodbye's and hung up. I ran downstairs and finished making my breakfast. My mind drifting to the events of last night.

We landed hard on the bed, our lips never breaking. My hands ran through his hair, as his ran up and down my body. His touch left shivers down my spine. Our tongues were battling for dominance, his winning.

He then started to pull at the hem of my shirt, I grabbed his hand to help him pull it off. Our lips were together a second later. After a couple of seconds he moved away from my lips and made contact with my neck, sucking, licking in all the right places. I then moved my hands to his jean zipper, and unbuttoning them.

I was jerked back to reality when the door bell rang. I opened the door to Mrs. Doner, the next door neighbor, holding Tar-heel in her arms.

"I found him in my garage," she said handing him over to me.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't even know he was outside. He didn't reck anything did he?"

She smiled, "no... he was just laying there. He is a cutie," she petted him.

"Thank you," she smiled again and waved goodbye.

I closed the door and placed Tar-heel on the ground, he turned around and stared at me.

"Bad dog, you know better than to wander off," I scolded him. But my intention to punish him was lost when he whined and lied down on the floor, hie ears bent back and his head resting on the floor.

I tilted my head to the side, and pouted at him. "Now that's cheating, you're using your cuteness to your advantage aren't you?"

He sat up and barked, his tail wagging now. I laughed at him, "come on, race you upstairs!" He was already running before I had time to blink.

"Hi Haley," Karen said when I walked through the door.

"Hey," I walked behind the counter and grabbed the apron, "how's it going?"

Karen sighed, "busy. And it seems like it just keeps getting busier."

"That's what happens when everyone loves your cafe," I bumped her in the hip.

She laughed, "yes, well lets hope that everyone will like come ten years from now. I'm gonna need it to pay off Lucas's college money."

I laughed before walking away to table seven and taking their orders. It was pretty hectic for the first three hours but thankfully it slowed down between lunch and dinner. I looked up at the clock, one more hour before I am free. I looked over at Karen who was sitting on a stool looking exhausted.

"Hey are you sure you don't want me to stick around till closing?"

She smiled and paced her hand on my arm, "I'll be fine, Mark and Judy are coming in so I won't need you."

"All right, I'll go do some inventory work for you."

She smiled in gratitude before I walked to the back and grabbed the clipboard. I hated doing this, but I know Karen hates it even more. I started with the 'A' foods and made my way from there.

After moving away from my neck he started making his way down, to my collar bone, then the center of my chest, and right above my right breast. I leaned into his touch as his cold lips were over my bare skin.

I felt his hands playing with my jean zipper, and the next thing I know they are on the floor. I wrapped my legs around him, trying to bring his warmth to me. His hands ran up and down the back of my thighs, my hands ran on his tan, bare back.

I heard him groan and I smirked in his lips, he then grinded his hips against mine and pulled me even closer to him.

"Hey Haley!" I looked up in surprise and smiled when I saw it was Lucas.

"Hey Luke, what are you doing here?"

"Just checking up on mom, I didn't know you were working today."

"I wasn't supposed to, but Peyton called asking if I could fill in for her and I said 'yes'."

"How nice of you," he said in a teasing voice.

I stuck my tongue out at him, only to yank it back in when I saw who was walking into the cafe. Lucas noticed my attention was some where else and turned around.

"Nathan!" I shot a glare to the back of Lucas's head.

He said something to his two friends, and walked over to Lucas who was leaning against the counter.

"Hey," him and Lucas did their 'man' handshake. "What's going on?" I tried really hard not to stare at him, but his silky voice made it very hard.

"Nothing, just stopping bye, saying hi to the beautiful Haley James," at the mention of my name, Nathan's blue eyes were on me. I gulped. "What are you doing here?" His eyes were back on Lucas.

He turned his head to the guys that I have never seen before, "just doing some business."

"All right, hey I'm going to the rive court later, you in?"

Nathan nodded, "yeah." He looked at me again, our eyes locking. He turned back to Lucas, they bumped fist and he walked over to the booth where the other two were sitting.

Lucas turned around, smiling. Lucas and Nathan have gotten really close over the past two months, ever since Luke went to see Nathan at the court. Actually I think him and Nathan are closer now than him and Conner ever were.

Our kisses were becoming more aggressive, more fierce, like it was the last time we were ever going to do this. His hands then traveled from my stomach to my back, landing on the clasp of my bra. He hesitated for a second, I pulled away from his lips and smiled. Our eyes were on one another, and then he unclasped it in one swift motion.

I pulled his lips back to mine, his hands kneading my breast now. After a while he moved away from my lips and brought one of my nipples into his mouth. I moaned in pleasure.

"All right Hales, were gonna go," I turned around to see Lucas and Nathan standing there.

I smiled and waved at them, "see ya."

Lucas smiled and headed toward the door, Nathan was still standing there staring at me. "Nate!" He turned around and walked over to the waiting Lucas. I watched as they walked out the door.

"Haley, you're free to go!" I heard Karen say from behind me.

I smiled at her and untied my apron.

"Haley is that you?" I rolled my eyes at Elizabeth's question.

"Yeah!" I called back to her wherever the hell she was. I wasn't ready to deal with her just yet. I didn't hear back from her, so I went upstairs to my room. I checked my phone, two new messages. They're were both from Conner.

I pulled at his boxers, and he slipped out of them. We were both fully naked now. I grabbed at his hair, our lips together now, and moaned out his name.

"Hey you it's me, I was just making sure you were okay. I was thinking of maybe driving to the beach next weekend, what do you think?"

I let out a gasp when I felt him inside me. He was slow and gentle at first, all the while kneading my breast and kissing me. I felt like I was going to explode. Then he was thrusting faster and faster, my breath catching in my throat.

"Hey I haven't heard back from you yet, you're not dead are you?" He laughed, "just kidding, but call me back, I'm sort of worried about you."

I hung up the phone and collapsed on my bed, closing my eyes. Last night was something I couldn't explain, I don't know if I want to.

My body tightened, our breaths loud, my nails were digging into his shoulders. Finally we let go together and collapsed. Our chest were rising and falling deeply as we stared into each other's eyes.

Then I heard his sweet voice, "I love you Haley James."

I was silent for a moment, and then smiled. "I love you too Conner Jacobs."
