Chapter 12
Haley and Nathan sat opposite each other in the restaurant whilst Peyton went to take a
call she said she'd be 5 minutes but it had now been 20 and Haley and Nathan sat across
the table in silence. Haley never looked up but was staring at the salt on the table with
much interest. Nathan occasionally looked up hoping to make eye contact but after a
while he realised she wasn't going to look up any time soon. But watching her made him
realise how beautiful she was and it was all natural she wasn't fake at all. He sighed at
the thought of them two never being together which caused her to look up at him, he
looked away straight away not wanting her to think he'd been staring at her all the time
but a small grin had formed on her face damn he thought she knew. He looked back at her
and saw that she was texting someone the concentration on her face made her look so
cute he couldn't help but grin.
"Don't you know it's rude to stare?" Haley said looking up, raising her eyebrows.
Nathan looked taken back "I… I uh … uh…I."
Haley rolled her eyes and went back to her texting. SHIT thought Nathan what the hell
was that I uh I uh uh She probably thinks I'm a right freak. He wanted to speak to her but
didn't know what to say they'd been sitting opposite each other for about half an hour
and had only said 2 sentences. Haley accidentally kicked Nathan under the table whilst
stretching her legs. "Sorry." She said quickly. Nathan grinned. "What?" Haley asked
bluntly.
"Naa nothing." He said smugly.
Haley glared at him "You've got that look."
Nathan laughed flirtatiously and flashed his teeth "What look?" He leaned in closer
towards her resting his chin on his hand.
"The one that says you-want-to-say-something-but-your-ego-is-stopping-you."
"Seeing as though you put it like that, I was just gonna say if you wanted to touch me you
could've just asked."
"Ohhhh, so it wasn't your ego stopping you then. You think I wanna touch you eh, I'm
not so sure your girlfriend would agree with me doing such a thing."
Nathan's face fell, the expression was indescribable, Haley hadn't realised she'd said it
out loud till she read his facial expression. She looked down and was greatful Peyton had
come in at that precise moment.
"Sorry about that guys my dad got a bit carried away, but everything ok here."
"Yep." They both said at the same time avoiding one another's gaze.
"Great lemme go order." She said leaving the two along again.
"You know that was uncalled for." Nathan added as soon as Peyton had left.
"I uh… didn't mean for it to come out like that, it's just…" She paused thinking whether
it was wise to carry on with her sentence.
"Just what hay?"
"O.k no offence or nothing but it's just you think so much of yourself and…"
Nathan raised his eyebrows "I don't think I wanna hear the rest of this conversation."
"O.k." she said shrugging.
"But can I just say one thing," He looked at her waiting for a response, she nodded
slowly "Maybe you should get to know me before you start judging me…"
Haley's mouth fell open "I wasn't… I uh I dint…"
"You don't have to explain yourself, seeing as though we are being judgemental I could
easily say have a very negative outlook towards men but you're also very pretty and cute
and you seem like a genuinely nice person, who I would like to get to know better and I
think you seem like a person who keeps too much inside and should sometimes release
her feelings out even if they go against your will and ummmmmmmm oh, your not daring
enough."
Haley's mouth fell open again and her eyes widened "I do not have a negative outlook
towards men and what makes you think I'm not daring enough."
He held his hands up in his defence "I was just being judgemental remember."
She giggled, causing Nathan to smile to they looked into each others eyes for what
seemed like the first time actually smiling. This time Nathan's leg touched Haley's, he
jerked away quickly feeling embarrassed not wanting her to think he'd done it on
purpose.
Haley leaned in and placed her chin in her hand "You know, if you want to touch me you
can just ask."
Nathan smirked and said cleverly "O.k, can I touch ya."
Haley looked as if she'd been slapped she didn't expect that to be his response. He burst
out laughing when he saw the look on her face.
Peyton came back with their food and they all ate in silence. Haley and Nathan didn't
speak for the rest if the meal it was mostly Peyton going on about her work and stuff but
Haley couldn't stop thinking about Nathan; she knew Nathan was only being nice to her
because he'd split up with his girlfriend and he wanted some attention. Rebound she
thought, this made her feel sad thinking about the fact that he'd never really like her
properly but she was greatful to have met Peyton because this seemed like the most
friendliest conversation Haley and Nathan had ever had.
They all ate up and there had been a change of plan seeing as though it was the weekend
Peyton was going home to visit her dad and wouldn't be back by Monday she had to
leave a bit earlier due to this and apologised to both Haley and Nathan.
It was about 9 and quite dark outside, Nathan was thinking of getting a taxi back
to his dorm but had realised he didn't have the key or any money on him and his
roommate wouldn't be home till tomorrow due to some 'party.'
"Damn." He said out loud as they were about to leave the restaurant.
"What's up?" Asked Haley.
"O.k your gonna think I'm proper stupid but I have no money to catch a taxi back to my
dorm and then I realised I don't have the key coz my roommates gonna be out all night
partying." He said kicking a stone.
"O." Haley said as they started walking up.
"But um don't worry about it, I'll walk you home."
"OH no there's, there's no need I can manage." She said quickly.
"I no you can manage Haley but seeing as though I've got nothing to do, please."
Haley giggled a bit and said "O.k if you must."
They walked most the way in silence and it was rather awkward when Haley broke the
silence by saying "It's quite cold."
Nathan nodded and said "Erm do you want my jacket."
"OH No, no I wasn't, I wasn't implying that I meant it's just cold." She said rather
quickly.
"O." Nathan said uncomfortably. "This is weird."
"Huh." Haley said not hearing because his voice trailed off in the wind.
Shit that was supposed to be a thought he thought closing his eyes in embarrassment
"Nothing." He said smiling.
"O.k. well my blocks here."
"I'll walk you up to your door," he added unknowingly.
"Um...ok."
They reached Haley's room, "Well this is it." She said looking for the keys in her bag
"CRAP!" She shouted.
"What?" Nathan said wondering if he'd said something else that he wasn't supposed to.
"I forgot my keys too and Brooke just texted me saying she's not gonna be home till
tomorrow."
"Why? Where is she?"
"I don't know do I." Snapped Haley looking through her bag furiously.
"O.k then."
"This is a disaster, you don't know how to break locks to you, I have a hair pin if that
helps."
"Um sorry." He said laughing.
"You find this funny huh." She added hastily.
"NO, no, no I was… don't you think it's weird how we both forgot our keys."
"What you tryna say coz if…"
"No I'm not tryna say anything, I'm just well, saying."
Haley kicked the door in frustration, "What am I supposed to do know?"
"Well do you have any money on you?"
"Yeah I should do, why?"
"There's a motel nearby maybe we could stay there for the night."
"You crazy I barely know you."
"I know but it's either there or here." He said pointing towards the floor.
Haley didn't like the idea of sleeping outside her dorm alone, so she gave in to the idea.
They both walked to the nearest motel, she only had enough money for one room. They
walked in to find no sofa, just a desk, a chair, a TV, some strange
ornaments and a double bed.
Haley and Nathan both looked at the bed and then one another. Haley's eyes were now
wide open this has to be a bad dream she thought.
"Umm…" Nathan said looking around the tiny room.
"Yeh." Haley said in agreement.
"Well I can sleep on the floor and you can sleep on the bed, seeing as though you paid."
"Fair enough." Haley said she certainly was not going to share a bed with Nathan Scott.
Nathan went to use the bathroom, whilst Haley wondered what to wear to bed, what to
keep on and what not to, she decided she was going to keep everything on but her shoes.
Nathan returned without his shirt, Haley couldn't help but stare, he was perfect. She
looked away quickly when Nathan says "It's nice isn't it."
"What?" Haley said in shock.
"The room."
"Oh, yeah." She agreed embarrassedly.
"Why what did you think I meant?...Oh" he said looking at himself in the mirror. "So do
you like what you see." He said turning back to her and walking up towards her.
"Haha so funny." She said mockingly.
He sat next to her on the bed, Haley edged away a bit "So you gonna show me yours."
Nathan said jokingly.
"Yeah course, in your dreams."
"Oh, that I would like." He said nudging her and winking, she slapped him on his bare
arm.
He got up and went to lay some sheets on the floor "You sure you don't want me on the
same bed as you I mean some girls would kill to…."
"Haha well I'm not some girls so don't flatter yourself."
Nathan grinned and said "Fine your loss, Oh and it's gonna get hot tonight, so I suggest
you um.."
"Strip, no thanks."
"I wasn't gonna say that but if you wanna, you know I don't mind."
"Shut up."
Nathan took of his jeans so he slept in his boxers, Haley waited for him to lay down they both said goodnight to one another and she switched the lamp off, Haley dozed off within a couple of minutes.
It was 4am in the morning and Nathan couldn't get to sleep, the floor was hurting his
back and he was finding it very hard to fall asleep, he could hear Haley breathing and by
the sound of it he could tell she was asleep. He got up and switched the lamp on she
didn't wake up so he assumed she was in a deep sleep. He couldn't help but stare and had
realised she had taken her top off and was only wearing a vest top which revealed her
smooth flat stomach. He couldn't help but stare at her she looked so beautiful when she
was sleeping. He saw the empty space next to her and climbed in bed hoping she
wouldn't realise it's not like I'm gonna do anything to her he thought, he looked back at
the floor and decided not to go back, he switched the lamp off and fell asleep.
It was 7am and Nathan woke up the light was shining through the curtains, he could
make out Haley she had her back to him still fast asleep though. He lay down on his side
so he was facing her, when Haley's next move surprised him, she turned around put her
arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Nathan was in too much shock to do anything
so he didn't move at all. After a while he felt kind of cosy in Haley's arms he'd never felt
so good. He was inches away from her face when he realised she had taken her vest top
off and was sleeping, well, in her bra. He shook his head and looked away not wanting to
take advantage of Haley but he didn't want to move he liked the feeling of Haley's
smooth skin against his. Nathan could feel Haley's warm body against his, he tried
jerking away but stopped because he didn't want to wake Haley.
Haley was slowly moving backwards but still had her arms around his neck, Nathan
could feel her slowly slipping off the bed, so before she could fall Nathan put a hand
around her waist and tried pulling her back up. The feeling of Nathan's cold hands
against Haley's waist made her quiver and caused her to fall on the floor with Nathan on
top of her. She opened her eyes and saw Nathan on top of her half naked and
because she could feel his skin against hers she realised she was too. She suddenly let out
a deafening scream.
