I love the response I'm getting! I'm thinking maybe a sequel when its all over with, but that's not for awhile! Just a thought for now, but it's all up to you guys! Anyways, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 12

I heard Nathan laugh slightly. I turned to face him, even though I knew I couldn't see him, just to hear him better. "What are you laughing at?"

"Why do you have a huge grin on your face?" he asked, I could hear the smile in his voice.

My smile grew. "What, a girl can't smile cause she's having fun anymore?"

"I didn't say that! I was just curious. I've never seen you smile like that before," he said softly.

I moved closer to him. He helped me by guiding me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I whispered into his ear, "You better get used to it, Nate. It's all because of you." I kissed his cheek and pulled back, going back to my side of the limo.

I heard him groan. "Why don't you come back over here and sit with me?"

I smiled. "And do what?" He slid over to my side and kissed me lightly on the lips, silently telling me what he wanted. "I'm sorry, I don't kiss on the first date."

He growled. "You kissed me before the date. In the rulebook of dating, that means you have to kiss me on the first date," Nathan explained, trying to sound like he knew what he was talking about.

"Oh, really? The rulebook of dating, huh? I say that's bull!" I said and turned to look at the window, crossing my arms.

"Hales!" he pouted. "This isn't fair!" He grabbed me and pulled me in close. He had me tightly in his grasp and then he whispered in my ear. "I haven't kissed you since yesterday!" he whined and I laughed.

"Well, I'm sorry, Nathan. You'll just have to wait until you walk me to my door tonight," I said, leaving no room for arguement.

"Fine. I'll just have to imagine kissing you. Or, I could just kiss you. You wouldn't know what hit you cause of that blindfold."

I sat back a little bit so I could look at him... through my blindfold.. that you can't see through.. I felt around until my hands cupped his cheeks. "You would never do that. You would never do something I asked you not to," I said softly.

I felt him nod. "You're right. I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't want to do anything that would upset you," he replied and then pulled me to him. And that's how we sat, waiting the arrival to our next destination.

I started to think about the past week and how every day during 5th hour, Nathan would come to see me...

FLASHBACK

"Knock, knock," I heard a voice behind me say. I turned to see Nathan and I grinned.

"Hey there, hotshot," I said, standing up. He walked over to me, kissing me soundly. "That is one hell of a 'hello'!"

He laughed. "You just looked so hot, I couldn't resist," He replied and kissed me again. "You have anyone coming in this hour for tutoring?" he asked and I shook my head. "Good, because I wanted to have a session of my own, but it won't be tutoring!"

I laughed as well as he started to kiss my neck, biting down every time he reached an area he hadn't been before. I moaned softly as he did so.

"Well, well. Isn't this sweet. So this is where you take your free periods now, Nate." We both turned towards the voice. Rachel.

"What are you doing in here, Rachel?" Nate asked, walking over to her. "Why don't you just leave?"

She brought her arm up and stroked her hand down his arm. "Nate, I miss you. Don't you understand, we were good together! I just want to be with you again!" she cried. Totally fake, if you asked me.

"Rachel, we've been over this a million times. I don't want to be with you. I don't want to be around you. Just stay out of my life!"

She moved closer. "Oh, Natey. You don't mean that," she replied and attepted to kiss him.

I sprung into action, pulling Nate out of her grasp. "Listen, bitch. Natey is not going to be with you. I don't believe he ever was! He's mine and always will be," I said and shocked myself at how much I sounded like the devil herself just then. "I mean, just leave him alone, Rachel. He doesn't want to be with you anymore."

Nathan pulled me closer and kissed me passionately. "Excuse me! I'm still right here! I can't belie..." I zone her out and focused on Nathan. His kisses had such power over me. I was barely standing up right! He must of realized this because he picked me up and held me.

I grinned against his lips. He pulled back and left a trail of hot kisses down my neck. I took this opportunity to look at Rachel. She had left. "She's gone, Nate," I said, assuming this was all show. He continued his minstrations, paying no mind to what I had just told him. I shrugged it off and just enjoyed the feeling of his lips on me.

END FLASHBACK

"Haley? Where were you just then?"

I just grinned at him. "In the tutoring center," I replied and he growled.

"No fair! You can think about it and not do it? That's just plain cruel!" he said and I laughed. Suddenly the limo stopped. "Looks like we're here." I started for my blindfold, but was stopped. "Stop! I'll take it off when I'm ready for it to be off! Now, come on." He took my hand and helped me out.

We kept walking. I could feel the said coming through my shoes as we walked. I stopped and took them off, carrying them instead. I could tell he was watching me as we walked. I could always feel his intense gaze on me. "Stop staring. It's rude," I said and he laughed.

"How can you tell?"

I smiled. "Oh, I know when someone's staring at me. It's like they're trying to burn a hole in my head. I get that a lot from Rachel, but your's is a lot nice than that."

"Well, I'm happy then," he replied and then we were silent.

"Well, since I already know we're at the beach, can I take this off now?" I asked.

"No, you can't. I'll tell you when to take it off, missy!"

"Ugh! Fine! Just hurry, okay?" I begged.

He laughed. "Okay, okay. Just relax," he said. We kept walking for quite some time and I was beginning to think he was just prolonging this to make me mad. "Okay. We're here!"

I sigh. "Finally! Can you take this thing off now?" I asked and he obliged. I take a look behind him and see nothing there. "So.. what are we doing here?"

He grinned and spun my around. I looked down and saw a picnic set out with all sorts of desserts. I grinned. There were chocolate covered cherries, strawberries (AN: my personal fave!), and pretzels. There were cookies and brownies as well. "Do you like? I asked Lucas if-"

I laughed. "Lucas is my favorite person right now! Well, next to you for asking him! Nate, this is really sweet!" I said and jumped on him, hugging him tight.

He instantly wrapped his arms around me and spun me around once before setting me back down. "You are more than welcome. This is just me paying you back for asking me out on a date!" he joked and I smiled.

"Well, then I should be the one taking you out, not the other way around."

"No, this way is better. I get to suprise you!" he said and then we sat down. He picked up a strawberry and fed it to me. This was actually really cute and sweet, but also turned me on a bit. I mean, I've never been fed chocolate covered strawberries by anyone, but now I'm thinking that it's the only way to eat them!

We were there for a while, talking and laughing; watching the waves crashing up closer and closer to us; watching the sun slowly set. By this time I was sitting inbetween his legs, enjoying being in his arms as well as the scenery of the pinks, yellows, oranges, and blues of the sky. It was truely beautiful. "Nate, this has been the best date I've ever been on. I don't know how I'll ever thank you," I said, craning my neck to look at him.

He smiled down at me. "I know of one way," he replied softly. I motioned for him to continue. "Be my girlfriend."

I pretended to think about it then grinned. I turned in his arms and kissed him throughly. I pulled back quickly, wanting to leave him wanting for more. "Of course, Nate. I'd want nothing more than to be your girlfriend."

He grinned back up at me and pulled me down for a kiss. We layed there on the beach, making out when a voice cleared. I lifted my head up and Nathan dropped his to see who it was. None other than Mouth. "I don't mean to intrude, but when you asked Mr. Roe what time Haley needed to be home he said 8:00. It's 7:50."

Nathan moved me and stood. He helped me up as well and we followed Mouth to the car. "Why do I have to be home so early?" I asked no one in particular.

"Well, I've had you out all day and your dad wanted to see you sometime today! Besides, you have to go tell your mom how our date was," Nathan replied and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"I guess you're right," I said with a sigh. "All the girls are going to be soo jealous at school on monday!"

He laughed. "Why's that?"

I grinned up at him. "Because I'm Nathan Scott's girlfriend!" I said and all three of us laughed. We got to the door and Mouth opened it. Nathan motioned for me to get it and I was about to, but I stopped short. I turned to Mouth and hugged him. "Thanks for driving me around all day. You could've spent the day doing something more fun, but you did this. I'm really happy you did."

He smiled at me. "I wanted to. I mean, Tim volunteered but I didn't want him killing you and neither did Nate. So, I volunteered. It's been my pleasure, Miss Roe," he said jokingly and I laughed and got in.

Five minutes later we were parked in front of my house. I sighed. "I don't want this to be over! This has been such a good night!" I say as I lay my head on Nathan's shoulder.

He sighed and kissed my head. "You could always invite me in," he said. I looked up at him and he wiggled his eyebrows.

I tried to look angry as I lightly hit him, but I ended up laughing. "Pervert! You aren't getting any from me! I want your respect and I won't get it if I let you walk all over me!" I said and he smiled.

Mouth opened the door and we both got out. Nathan said he'd be a minute and then walked me to my door. I found my keys and then turned to face him. "So, did you have a good time?" he asked, which is a silly question! He knew damn well I had a great time!

"Yeah, it was okay," I replied nonchaluntly. His smile dropped and I laughed. I'm only joking, Nate! You know I had the best time. I always do when you're around."

He smiled again. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Spending this week with you has been amazing. You're amazing, Hales," he said.

I just smiled up at him, wishing he would kiss me already. As if he read my mind, he leaned down and kissed me. Softly at first, but it quickly intensified, as it always did with us. Just when things were getting interesting, Mouth honked the horn. Nathan pulled back and we laughed. "I guess I better go now." He nodded. "Call me later?" He nodded again and kissed me lightly.

"Good night, Hales," he said and started walking away.

I went inside and shut the door quickly. I squealed and jumped up and down. After a short victory dance, I leaned against the door and slid down, a grin covering my face. Nathan Scott's girlfriend. I liked the sound of that.

This is one of my favorite chapters! REVIEW PLEASE!
