I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
The sun was shining brightly through the bedroom window, causing Nathan to wake up. He turned his head to look at Haley's side of the bed and saw that she was still fast asleep. He couldn't help the smile that slowly spread across his face. This was the day that would make or break him. He was really nervous, but it was now or never. He was more then ready for this next step, and he was hoping Haley was too. He had the night planned perfectly.
"Nate?" When Haley woke up she saw that Nathan was staring at nothing really with a big cheesy smile on his face.
"Yeah babe"
"What were you thinking about?"
"Tonight."
"What's going on tonight?"
"I have a special night planned for us."
"Really? What do you have planned?"
"That is for me to know and you to find out."
"Nate I don't like surprises. Just tell me."
"I can't, and trust me, you will love this surprise." Nathan smiled down at her. He was so excited." As a matter of fact I better get ready so I can go set everything up."
"What time is it?"
"Noon. We slept in really late."
"wow I never sleep in."
"Well there is a first for everything babe. Well I'm going to get in the shower." Nathan kissed Haley on the forehead and got up to get in the shower. "babe will you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Can you make sure Jake and Lucas are ready, and if they're not tell them they have 20 minutes."
"Uhmm Okay."
"Thanks. I love you."
"I love you too." Nathan closed the door and got in the shower and Haley went downstairs to find Jake and Lucas.
"Morning guys." Haley said once she saw her friends sitting around the kitchen.
"Morning Hales. You were still sleeping?" Lucas asked when he noticed Haley was still in her pajama's
"Yeah. Oh and Nathan said that you and Jake need to be ready in 20 minutes."
"Alright. Did he say why?"
"I don't something about setting up for tonight. " Haley began to walk off. "oh and where are Brooke and Peyton?"
"I think they are sitting on the beach."
"Okay thanks." Haley went up stairs to get in the shower and get ready for the day. When she got there she noticed that Nathan was already showered and dressed.
"Alright Hales I'll see you later." Nathan bent over to give Haley a peck on the lips. "Probably be ready around 6."
"Okay. Bye, and don't miss me too much." Haley smiled.
"I always miss you when your not around." Nathan returned her smile and went downstairs, got Lucas and Jake, and they headed out.
An hour later Haley went back downstairs and saw Brooke and Peyton sitting on the couch talking.
"Tutorgirl where have you been?"
"Well surprisingly I slept until noon, got ready, and now here I am." Haley said and went to sit on the couch with the two of them. "What are we talking about?"
"yours and Nathan's date tonight." Brooke squealed.
"Wait you guys know about that?" Haley question. She just heard about it this morning, but it seems that everyone else already knew.
"Yes we know some details, but the boys didn't tell us much." Peyton explained.
"What did they say about it?"
"Well we can't say."
"Oh come on. You have to give me something." Haley begged.
"Well all we can say is…." Brooke thought. "What hint could we give her Peyt?"
"Lets just say it will be a blast from the past."
"Yeah that sounds good, blast from the past." Brooke agreed.
"Thanks guys but that didn't help."
"Sorry we promised not to give anything away. Now what are you wearing tonight?"
"I don't know I haven't thought about it yet."
"Haley it is already 1:30 and you haven't thought about it yet." Brooke screamed. This could possibly be the night of Haley's life and she didn't even know what she was going to wear. "Come on girls, we need to go raid Haley's closet." Brooke got off the couch and dragged the girls upstairs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nate will you please relax everything will be perfect. I promise." Lucas attempted to calm his brother.
It was already four and the guys were starting to wrap stuff up.
"Alright I think we have everything finished. Here are the envelopes, don't forget to give them to the girls, and make sure you stand in order." Nathan demanded.
"Okay Nate. We got this, settle down. You just worry about going to get Haley. I promise we wont mess anything up." Jake patted Nathan's shoulder.
"Oh god I'm nervous. This is huge guys. I've never been so nervous in my life."
"Hey it's okay. Everything is going to be perfect little brother."
"Do you think she will yes?"
"I would bet my life on it. Right Jake." Lucas nudged Jake to get him to help out.
"Yeah, Nate she'll say yes."
"Okay well I'm going to go get ready. Wish me luck."
"Good luck Nate."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright Tutorgirl. You are all finished." Haley got up and walked to the mirror. She looked at her reflection and smiled. She was wearing a simple summer dress and heals, her hair was down, and she had light make up on. She didn't know why, but she was really nervous. Everyone has been making tonight sound like a big deal, but she was so clueless to why.
"Thanks for helping get ready guys." Haley turned around to see a teary eyed Brooke and Peyton. "What is your guy's problem? You have been acting funny all day."
"Nothing, but we have to go. You have fun tonight."
"Okay thanks again guys." Haley watched her friends leave. Brooke was whispering something to Peyton, but Haley didn't make it out.
A few minutes later Haley head a knock at the bedroom door. She got up and saw that it was Nathan. He was dressed in khaki's and a light blue button up shirt.
"Wow you look beautiful Hales." Nathan bent over and gave Haley a passionate kiss.
"mmm thanks. You don't look too bad yourself."
"You ready?"
"Yeah I am. Will you tell me where you are taking me now?"
"Nope, you will see when we get there." Nathan held out his hand for Haley to take, and she gladly accepted.
"Nate are we almost there." Haley asked impatiently after they have been in the car for 20 minutes.
"Almost."
"Well can I at least take this blind fold off for a little bit."
"No I don't want you to see where I am going. I promise we are almost there."
The couple drove in silence until they arrived at their destination.
"Okay we are here, but you cant take that off yet. Just sit tight, I'm going to come around and get you." Nathan got out of the car and walked over to Haley's side, helping her out.
"Okay now we are going to walk this way." Nathan said guiding Haley in the right direction. "Okay you can take it off now."
Haley removed the blind fold and looked at the sight before her. It brought tears to her eyes that he remembered. Before her was the table at the dock her and Nathan use to spend most of their tutoring sessions. Around it there were the little purple flowers Haley loved.
"Nate this is beautiful." Haley turned around and pulled him into a hug.
"Do you like it?" Nathan asked nervously. His stomach was starting to do flip flops again.
"I love it Nate. Thank you so much." Haley cried.
"Hales don't cry. Here come with me, lets go sit."
"I can't stop crying. I'm so happy right now. Everything is so perfect. You're perfect." Haley said as she sat in her seat.
"I'm only perfect when I'm with you." Nathan said. He then reached into the basket beside him and pulled out to covered plates. "For you." He set Haley's in front of her.
"Mac 'n' Cheese." Haley exclaimed when she took the lid off.
"Well in order for tonight to be perfect , I had to bring the Mac 'n' Cheese." Nathan smiled.
"I love you Nate."
"I love you too."
The two of them continued there meal, while holding a light conversation. The night was going perfect for Nathan. Nothing has gone wrong yet, but the hard part wasn't over yet.
"That was delicious." Haley said as she finished.
"Well I hope so, it is food of the God's." Nathan winked.
"You got that right." Haley smiled. "Thanks for this Nathan."
"The nights not over yet babe."
"What else is there?"
"Well I am going to walk down this path right here, but you are going to stay. I know you don't like it, but you are going to put the blind fold on again. In a few minutes someone will come and get you." Nathan explained.
"Wait you're leaving me here?"
"Just for five minutes, and you'll come by me after that."
"Alright." Haley gave him one last kiss before putting the blind fold on. She sat there listening to sound of Nathan's footsteps leaving. She was anxious to see what he had planned.
"Haley you can take the blind fold off now." Haley took it off and saw Lucas standing there.
"Luke what are you doing here?"
"I'm just giving you this." Lucas handed her and envelope with a big number one on it.
Haley opened it and pulled out the card reading "Every time I look at you….."
Haley looked up confused and Lucas pointed behind her. Haley turned around and saw a path of candles. She turned around a followed the lit path along the water. As she kept walking she ran into Peyton.
"Peyton?" Peyton didn't say anything. She handed Haley the next envelope. Haley opened it and the next card read " I just know…." Haley didn't even ask questions, she kept following the path where next she ran into Brooke. Brooke handed her the next envelope. Inside the card read "I want to….." Haley smiled and continued the path. Next she ran into Jake who handed her the next envelope. The next one had the whole sentence, "Every time I look at you I just know I want to spend the rest of my life with you." After Haley read the last envelope her eyes filled with tears. She continued the path. Once she got toward the end she heard the faint sound of music. As she walked it got louder and louder. Finally she reached the river court. When she arrived the tears started pouring out even more. On the court there were scattered candles and her favorite purple flowers everywhere. She looked around in awe. In the middle of the court she saw Nathan standing there. She walked over to him, and when she got there he started talking immediately.
"Okay. I'm not really good with words, but I'll give it a try." Nathan blew out a steady breath. "Every time I look at you, Haley James, I just know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You're my everything. I think about you everyday, all day, and when we were apart my heart ached because you weren't there. Once I got you back I promised myself that I would never let you go again. I couldn't imagine not having you in my life. " Nathan paused for a minute, willing his tears not to fall. He looked down at Haley who was waiting for him to continue, her eyes full of tears as well. "You are my world, and I love you so much. I will love you always and forever." Nathan reached in his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box and got down on one knee. "So will you marry me Haley James?"
Haley couldn't form any words. She nodded excitedly, and pulled Nathan up crashing her lips into his. The kiss was passionate and full of love. Once they broke apart they looked in each others eyes lovingly
"yes?"
"Of course I will marry you Nathan. I love you so much. Always and Forever." Nathan smiled and slid the ring onto her finger. He then pulled her into a hug, lifting her off the ground and spinning her around.
"You just made me the happiest man in the world. I love you so much."
"You have no idea how happy I am Nate." Haley smiled lovingly, and stared into eyes, they reflected the same love hers held for him.
"May I have this dance?" Nathan asked. Haley forgot all about the music that was playing. Once she noticed it, she realized it was her and Nathan's song, More Than Anyone by Gavin DeGraw
"Of course." Haley wrapped her arms around Nathan's neck, and he wrapped his around her waist, holding her body close to his. He would stay in this moment forever if he could. He couldn't be any happier then he was right now. Haley felt the same way. When she was in Nathan's arms she felt safe and complete, and there was no other place she rather be.
