Chapter 18: Honey and The moon

Haley woke up with a huge grin on her face as she looked at Nathan sleeping soundly beside her. She had ended up staying the night with him, which she was extreamly happy about. There sex life had always been more then great but the two times they had selpt together since he had been back in town had been intense, a good intense. Something about being away from the person you love makes you feel all the more passionate towards them once they are back in your life.

She was really glad that she didn't end up on the couch at her place. The last thing she wanted after her and Nathan's wonderful date was to listen to the sounds of her two best friends going at it all night. She much prefered the alternative, making her own noises. Nathan's arms were wrapped around her and she had never felt more safe or at home in her life.

"Morning" Nathan mummbled as he looked over at her.

"Hey" Haley said in a sweet voice. "I had a really great time last night".

"Yeah so did I" Nathan agreed as he yawned, "It was really nice to just be us again, no fighting and shit".

"So what do you thing Karen and Keith will say when they see me" Haley grinned, and Nathan half laughed.

"Knowning them they won't say anything, just give each other annoying little looks that no one but them can understand" Nathan replied as he un wrapped his arms from around Haley's waist. She felt the loss of his touch immediatly.

"You still sore?" Haley asked him. She watched as Nathan was visibly uncomfortable as he tried to sit up in the bed.

"I think it's going to be a long time before I'm not" Natahn told her as he held his side.

"Sorry".

"What are you saying sorry for?" Nathan asked her.

"Well I cam imagine that last night's activities didn't help your recovery" Haley said with a concerned look on her face.

"Trust me... I was defently up for last night's activities" Nathan grinned at her.

"You certenly were" Haley said with a sly look across her face. Nathan grabbed her and pulled her on top of him she wiggeled around until she was in a comfortable position.

"Look at that, I'm up for it again" Nathan smirked.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello Tutor girl, I noticed you weren't on the couch this morning" Brooke said to Haley later on that day. Haley had just arrived at the cafe to start her shift.

"Very observent" Haley replied while she was tying her apron around her waist.

"So, how was your date. Give me all the details".

"The date was great, the walk after the date was even better and the events after the walk were heavenly" Haley told her as she picked up the coffee pot and poured more coffee into Brooke's cup.

"You totally got laid. Thats awsome" Brooke said with a smile.

"As I'm sure you did as well" Haley replied.

"You know it sister" Brooke grinned, "Now moving on to not more important things but more pressing matters. I was hoping you would have some time today to help me with some wedding stuff?"

"Yeah, I'm free around four" Haley told her.

"That will work nicely. You and Nathan are coming to the wedding together right?"

"... I'm not sure" Haley thought and said, "I guess so, I'm mean we are back together now. I think"

"Didn't you guys talk about your 'status'?" Brooke asked her.

"Well we sort of did, we both said we couldn't live without each other basically. But we never decided if we are officaly back together" Haley told her.

"Your married, if your going out and having sex I'd say your back together" Brooke offered her opion on the matter.

"But he's still living with Karen and Keith. If we were back together wouldn't it make sense for him to stay with me" Haley replied.

"Did you ask him to?"

"Well no, I figured if he wanted to live with me again he would bring it up" Haley said as she placed the coffee pot on the table and sat down next to Brooke with a confused look on her face.

"Nathan's not that kind of guy. In his mind if you want him there you would tell him" Brooke said.

"I broke his heart, he's the one calling the shots and he know's that. I'm not sure if I should ask him or see if he mentions it" Haley told her.

"Well it's your choose but I would totally ask him" Brooke told her as she opend up a magazine.

"He's going to see Deb at the moment" Haley mentioned after a few minutes of silence. The cafe was practically empty so she wasn't to concerned with the fact that she was currently doing nothing.

"Really, is he going to make up with her?" Brooke asked as she sipped of coffee.

"Yeah, he figures that he needs to have one parent in his life. And when your father in Dan Scott your mother not telling you about an injury seems like an easy thing to forgive".

"Yeah well if I had a choice between Dan and Deb, Deb would win every time" Brooke said.

-------------------------------------

"Nathan" Deb said in an over joyed tone when she saw her son standing at the front door. He gave her and awkarwd smile as she moved to let him in the house. "How are you feeling?"

"Better" Nathan replied as he made his way to a chair, "Do you mind if I sit".

"Of course not" Deb said as she also sat down.

"Look I just wanted to come by and talk to you about some things" Nathan said as he ran his hand through his hair, something he did when he was trying to think. "It wasn't right of you to keep what the the doctor told you to your self. That was information I needed to hear, and it would have been a lot better hearing it from you rather then a stranger".

"I know I should have told you, I just wanted to protect you" Deb told him as she fought the urge to take his hand.

"I know that. And thats why I figured we could just forget about it, and move on" Nathan said. He shifted in the wooden seat he was on. The wood was pretty to look at but was tough on his still tender back.

"Really, I would love it if we could do that Nate. Your my son and I love you. I want to be in your life" Deb told him

"And I want you in my life but there are still more things we need to talk about" Nathan added.

"Go ahead".

"Haley" Nathan repled as he looked at his mother, she looked older then last time he had seen her. He knew that the stress of his accident and their falling out was getting to her.

"Yes, Karen mentioned you two were spending a lot of time togther" Deb said.

"Well, Haley and I are trying to sort out are baggage and we're together again. She's in my life now and that is where I want her to be. So if you have a problem with that then we need to sort it out now" Nathan told her.

"If that's what you want and your sure, then I won't interfer" Deb said to him. She was glad that he was here and didn't want to do or say anything that would push her son further away from her.

"That is what I want" Nathan said in a stiff voice. He wasn't sure what to say to her on the subject of Haley. He knew that she didn't approve and she had good reason not to. But he was 23 now and it was time that she sat back and let him make his on decisions about what he wants in life.

-------------------------------

"So how did things go with your mom?" Haley asked later on that night. She and Nathan were sitting in her living room watching TV and eating left over indian food.

"... Okay I guess. I think she needs to learn how to let go and I need to learn how to be more understanding" Nathan answered as he looked at his food with a quizzical expression on his face, It didn't look to good.

"Is she okay with us?" Haley asked him as she also looked at the food with suspicion.

"She has accepted it" Nathan answered with an amused look on his face, "I guess that's something".

"Yeah I guess" Haley replied as she looked up at the TV and sighed, "Nothing good on as usual".

"TV sucks" Nathan said as he placed his plate of left overs to the side and scrunched up his face when he saw Haley take a bite.

"Yuck" She said as she spit back on to the plate, "I think i'll follow your lead".

Nathan laughed lightly as she put down her plate. "Your adorable".

"Hey Nathan, I was wondering if we were going to Lucas's and Brooke's wedding together. As a couple" Haley said to him as she bit of lower lip anxiously.

"I assumed we were, why?" Nathan asked with a confused look.

"I just wasn't sure, but I'm glad to hear that we are" Haley smiled at him

"Okay" Nathan smiled back at her.
