By the way did you see the 2 hours premiere of OTH? Wow it was just mind blowing. Jamie is so cute, He broke my heart as well as poor Haley. I never fancied Nathan but i find him kinda hot with his long hair and his beard as for Carrie...I just want to kung-fu her ass!!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waking up Haley stretched and laid in bed fighting the urge to get up. She was still really tired. I like Tree Hill, it's small and some of the people are really nice. Kind of like Pasadena except Pasadena is a little bigger, oh well I like being here she thought to herself. Man what the heck do they have the temperature turned down to in here? It's freezing! She said before wrapping her comforter closer around her body. Looking at the blue alarm clock by the bed she sighed looking at the time.
"7:00, are you serious?" She asked out loud." I thought with all the tossing and turning I did last night I would have slept longer than 6 hours!" Her and Brooke had stayed up late watching chick flicks and eating ice cream, basically getting to know each other even more because Nathan was out of town. He had gone to a Bobcats game with Lucas and already she was missing him like crazy.
Wow we've only been apart one night and I already can't sleep without him, she thought to herself. Ever since the revelation she had made to him at the river court they had been sleeping together every night, with the exception of last night. Stupid basketball game she thought pouting. I already miss being in his arms after 1 night what am I going to do when we go back to school? She wondered.
Ahh I got it she thought shooting straight into a sitting position I can talk to Brooke and maybe we can have Lucas sleep in our room and then I can sleep with Nathan! She contemplated before laying back down again. Ah who am I kidding Lucas would never agree to that! Living with Brooke is hard and the poor guy is going to marry her, guess I have to be nice for a while so that he can have some Lucas time without Brooke, Haley thought before laughing.
"Crap I'm totally addicted. Oh well at least he's hot" she said to herself laughing even harder. Wow I'm not very with it with only 6 hours of sleep.
"Stupid basketball game, ok since it looks like I'm not going to be getting any more sleep I might as well get up and take a shower and get dressed." She whispered getting up and walking to the bathroom. She took a nice long shower before going downstairs and looking to see what she could make for breakfast. Hmm not much of anything, well maybe I'll walk around and see if I can find a place to eat, she thought to herself before running upstairs and grabbing some money off her dresser than walking out the front door into the cold winter weather.
Haley was walking around Tree Hills Main Street and kept looking around. Is this city dead? She thought seeing all the shops closed. Nah!! It's the nicest city in the world because Nathan was born here! She added to herself before starting to laugh again. You need some sleep girl!! You're brain is off.
"Haley? What are you doing around town so early in this cold?" Asked a friendly voice behind her.
Haley jumped and turned around. Oh thank goodness! It was just Karen opening her cafe.
"Oh…Nothing special." Said Haley smiling and walking over to Karen. Haley really liked Karen because she made her feel welcome in her family right away. "I was looking for some breakfast and I needed some fresh air too."
"Well…." Said Karen showing the open card on the door." I would be glad to take my breakfast with you." She told her with a smile.
"I don't want to bother you," Haley said embarrassed.
"That's nonsense!! I'd love to have my breakfast with you. Come on!" Said Karen walking back in.
Haley nodded and walked in, following Karen.
She sat at the counter and waited while Karen brought two hot cups of coffee and too slices of chocolate cake on a tray.
Haley raised her eyebrows at the chocolate cake. "Wow a mom who gives chocolate cake for breakfast? Karen I am loving you right now." Haley said laughing.
"Thanks Haley just don't tell Lucas or he'll be jealous." Karen informed her chuckling.
"Don't worry it will be our secret" Haley replied crossing her heart.
"So Haley, do you like Tree hill?" Karen asked smiling.
"Yeah I do!" Said Haley honestly. "It's small but really nice."
"I'm glad we get to have breakfast just the two of us."
"Why's that?" Haley asked genuinely curious.
"Well…. We finally get to have a girl chat!" Karen said stating the evident. "You know…I've seen Nathan grow up and I'm seeing him now, I thank god everyday that he met you." Karen added taking Haley's hand. "He's another person now and it's for the best. Love can really make miracles!!"
"Thank you" Haley said blushing. She still had problems with compliments but she was getting better at accepting them.
"Oh don't thank me!!" Said Karen laughing. "I'm just saying things the way I see them! I looked at you two when you came for dinner two days ago and I have to say I could see so much love in your eyes when you looked at each other. You're just right for each other. You two will last!" Karen added simply.
Haley smiled and nodded. I wish God hears you. She thought to herself. "The cake was delicious Karen! Did you put a dash of cinnamon in it?" Haley asked trying to change the subject. She felt more conformable talking about cooking than her and Nathan.
"Yeah I did!" Said Karen surprised. "How did you know that?"
"That's exactly the way I make it myself!" Said Haley laughing.
"Ohhh…. So you know how to cook?" Karen asked pleasantly surprised. "Well…I think you should give some tutoring to Brooke because…. Poor Lucas!!" Said Karen jokingly.
"Okay!" Haley said finishing her coffee. "I'll do that soon. She'll know how to cook by her wedding." Haley added laughing too. "Well…I guess I better get back to the house because Brookes going to worry if she wakes up and I'm not there." Haley said standing up.
"Okay. I loved talking to you for a little while." Said Karen sincerely. "Come back whenever you like okay?" She added.
"Thanks". Said Haley hugging Karen." I will."
Haley was about to open the glass door when she saw Nathan standing across the road. She frowned. You're dreaming girl! Nathan said he wouldn't be here before 12. She thought. Haley closed her eyes and shook her head, but when she opened them again Nathan was still standing there.
He really is here!! She thought before opening the door and running to him.
Haley jumped into his arms and kissed his lips loudly. "Why are you here? You were supposed to be home around lunch time!"
"Oh okay..." Said Nathan kissing her and putting her back on the ground. "I can leave if you want." He added in mock hurt.
"Don't you even dare!" Haley said pretending to be serious. "Or... Or I won't kiss you ever again." She added confidently.
"Really?" Nathan said with a smirk. "That's too bad..." Nathan whispered really close to her lips without even touching them. "Could you really do that?"
Haley closed her eyes and kissed him. "Nah!!! You're too sexy for my mental sake!!" She said laughing
"That's good because you're smoking hot yourself." Said Nathan laughing too. He lifted Haley from the floor and started to twirl as they both laughed loudly.
Karen watched the scene from the cafe. They are made for each other! They really found true love. I could bet my life on that. She added to herself smiling.
----------------------------------Later on in the afternoon-----------------------------------------
"Gosh Luke!! I told you to put the glasses in a line. This is my first official New Years Eve party. It needs to be perfect!!" said Brooke sounding like a military commander. Lucas looked at Haley and rolled his eyes as they both tried not too laugh.
"Yes Sir yes!!" Said Lucas with a military salute.
"Oh you can laugh now Scott! But you won't be laughing when everyone will be here in about..." Brooke looked at her watch "45 minutes!!" She added panicking. "Luke get your butt in gear they are going to be coming soon and I don't have time to fix your mistakes." She said running to finish putting up the streamers.
Oh crap why am I going to marry her again when I know she gets this way about everything? Lucas thought before smiling. Oh yea because I love her and that's part of why I do. She is so passionate.
"Lucas I can't hear you doing what I asked you to do." He heard Brooke shout. "Haley, you and boy toy go get the liquor from downstairs and no making out!" She yelled behind them.
I should have made Peyton stay and help she is defiantly a bigger help than Lucas but I'm really glad she found Jake they make such a cute couple. Hopefully Nathan and Haley will hurry getting the liquor from downstairs soon so they can finish hanging stuff up Brooke thought to herself.
"Okay why don't you grab that case of beer and I will grab this case of Bicardi" Haley told Nathan pointing to the two boxes.
"Well first I have you alone for maybe 5 minutes since this morning and I missed you way to much last night" Nathan said coming and standing closer to Haley.
"Nathan no we have to do this so Brooke doesn't get mad" Haley said standing firm until Nathan started laying open mouth kisses on her neck.
No I have to stay firm she thought biting her lip before finally giving in. "Oh what the hell!" Haley said before grabbing his face and crashing it on hers as her arms circled his neck.
"Okay it shouldn't take them this long to bring up 2 cases right Luke?" Brooke asked.
"I wouldn't think so, but it is Nathan" Lucas replied.
"Ohh they better not be doing what I think they are doing" Brooke said putting her hands on her hips and marching towards the stairs.
"Haha they are going to be in so much trouble" Lucas said chuckling to himself.
Brooke went down the stairs as quietly as she could. I know what to expect from Naley by now she thought to herself.
When she got down the stairs she saw them making out, Nathan was sitting on a case of beer with Haley on his lap.
She stood in front of them tapping her foot. "So guys... I hope you're not working to hard! Be careful you risk to sprain your tongues!!" She said sarcastically
Haley and Nathan quickly broke apart and didn't reply just looked down like two kids in trouble.
"You're ashamed huh? Well you should be!! This party is really important for me!! We're going to announce tonight that we're officially engaged and what are you two doing? Acting like silly children!! I'm really disappointed in you."
"Sorry Mommy" Nathan said looking at Haley out of the corner of his eyes.
Haley couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laugher closely followed by Nathan
"I... You're laughing?" Said Brooke with a dark look. "You're in so much trouble young lady!!" She said getting Haley's attention. "Now you go up and help Lucas I'll stay here with mister "I love to put my tongue down your throat"." Haley sighed and laughed even more. "Okay big sis! It's your party after all." She turned to Nathan. "Good luck Nate and remember I love you." She added winking before going up the stairs.
Brooke looked at Nathan with a grin. "Now muscle-boy take that box! Show me what you can do."
Nathan rolled his eyes. "You're a tyrant!"
"And you know it!" Said Brooke seriously pointing at a case of beer.
They just finished setting up the house when the first person arrived. Haley was talking to Lucas by the door when it opened.
"Hey!" Said a girl smiling at Lucas.
"Hey Glenda!" Lucas replied pulling her into a hug. He was really happy to see her. Glenda looked at Haley.
"Let me introduce you to Haley, she's Brooke's sister." Said Lucas still smiling. "Haley let me introduce you to Glenda. She was one of my best friends in high school and she still is. She used to be my secret reader weren't you?"
"Yes I was." Said Glenda smiling to Haley. "It's really nice meeting you Haley." She added sincerely.
"You too although I don't know how you could have put up with him" Haley laughed pointing at Lucas.
"Geez thanks Haley I mean I'm marrying your sister and your so mean to me" Lucas said in mock hurt. "Is this the way you induct people into your family by being emotionally abusing?" Lucas asked.
"Yep don't you just love it?" Haley inquired with a smirk.
"Oh wow you have been hanging out with Nathan too much now you're smirking!! God help us all" Lucas said as him and Glenda started laughing and Haley blushed.
Seeing Haley blush Nathan decided to go and see what was going on. I love her blush he thought walking over there.
"Hi baby" Nathan said standing behind Haley and wrapping his arms around her. "What's going on?"
Haley put her hands on top of Nathan's hands "Well… apparently your cousin is not that keen on tough love which is weird because…. He's about to marry Brooke!" She said bursting into laugher.
Nathan laughed too. "You're so right!! You see why I love this girl! She's so funny." He said looking at Lucas.
"You're just mean!" Said Lucas in mock hurt. "But I guess you've found each other! Well…we'll see who's going to laugh when Brooke is aware of your great comment". He added with a mock evil laugh. Lucas looked at Glenda and winked.
"Come on my lovely cousin we need to bring two more beer cases up from the basement. That's what your future wife asked me to tell you," added Nathan kissing Haley's lips softly.
"So you're the famous Haley?" Glenda asked smiling at Haley. "I've heard so much about you by Lucas and Brooke. I'm really glad to meet you. You've got to be quite extraordinary to change Nathan the way you did."
"I'm famous?" Said Haley confused.
"Of Course!" Said Glenda laughing. "Every single one of Nathan's friends wants to meet you and well… they also want to see Brookes sister." Added Glenda gently patting Haley's back. "But from what I can see you're a great girl" she added.
"Thank you very much," said Haley sincerely. "Do you want to grab a drink?" She asked. I want to get to know her better. Thought Haley not really knowing why.
By the time the boys came back from the basement everybody was already there and Brooke wasn't stopping asking them to do various tasks for the party.
By the time they were done Nathan looked at his watch and noticed that he left Haley for more than two hours now. I hope she isn't mad. He thought to himself starting to look for her.
Nathan found Haley with a group of boys and Glenda. But it's my boys!! Thought Nathan quite embarrassed that Haley met his friends without him around to control them. He was thinking about Tim in particular. He decided to stay a bit behind to listen in. She was talking with Mouth, Fergie, Junk, Glenda and Tim of course.
"Yo hottie when Nathan is off maybe you can give a call to Timmy the sex Machine!" Said Tim trying to act cool.
Nathan shook is head. I'm going to kill you dumbass he thought to himself.
Haley started to laugh. "Oh…so it's you!" She said simply smiling to him.
"What?" Said Tim confused.
"Well every group has it's own personal moron and well…I guess you're him right?" added Haley pretending to be serious.
All the guys burst into laugher and they were acting with Haley like she was one of the guys…a member of their group.
I can't believe how perfectly she's fitting in!! Thought Nathan proudly. She really is the one. He added with a smile.
Mouth saw Nathan and walked to him. "Haley is fantastic Nate! You're so lucky!!" Said Mouth smiling. "She's a keeper! Never let her go!" He added before going for a drink and to meet with his girlfriend Gigi Silveri.
I won't…. She's mine and she'll stay mine. He thought to himself. "Always" he said out loud.
"And forever!" Said Haley turning around. She heard the « always » and recognized Nathan's voice immediately; she said "and forever" without even knowing why.
Nathan walked and kissed her passionately. He didn't care about his friends whistling around them.
"Always and forever." Nathan finally whispered in her ear.
After the party ended at 2 and the midnight kisses were shared between the couples Brooke and Lucas decided to stay at Brookes house since Haley and Nathan decided to go to his house. Brooke wanted to spend some time with her fiancé. Ever since Lucas proposed she was even happier. She couldn't imagine who she might have been if her and Lucas never got together. He's changed me so much she thought happily to herself.
"Okay Cheery the party was perfect right?" Lucas asked sliding up next to her.
"Yep thank you so much" said Brooke "Is Naley still here?" She inquired.
"No they already left." Lucas said kissing her neck.
"Okay Broody so lets see... we just announced our engagement so why don't we go to my room and celebrate some more?" Brooke said seductively running her finger up and down his chest.
"I like the way you think Cheery." Lucas replied before grabbing her hand and running up the stairs like a couple of kids.
Meanwhile Nathan and Haley decided to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Ever since they watched the first 2 during Thanksgiving they wanted to wait and watch the third one together and what better time then the New Year? Haley didn't tell him that she actually watched the third one with her mom and Brooke. They weren't really watching it much anyway because they were lying in Nathan's bed making out and fooling around.
After a moment the fooling around started to turn into something more serious. Haley helped Nathan to remove his shirt and she started to kiss his chest slowly. Nathan moaned and started to unbutton Haley's shirt.
Nathan started to kiss Haley's breast and looked into her eyes. Even if he could see desire in them he could also see fear and doubt. You're just not ready yet he thought to himself. Nathan laid on his back and pulled Haley into his side. "I just need to hold you in my arms to be happy Haley." Said Nathan seeing Haley's confused look.
"We don't need to make love now baby." He kissed her forehead. "We've got all the time in the world. I'll wait till you're sure and fully ready."
Haley raised her head and kissed his lips softly. "Thank you" she whispered resting her head back on his chest.
Nathan started to caress her hair. "I don't need sex to love you baby. Being around you is the best thing in the world."
Haley tried to contain her tears of happiness. He's so sweet. When I thought I couldn't love him any more than I already do he goes and makes me fall in love with him even more. Haley thought before they quickly fell to sleep in each other's arms.
