I slowly started opening my eyes; awakening from my much-needed sleep and for the first time my mind wasn't moving a million miles a minute. I looked around the dark room, I realized I wasn't at my house, I wasn't at Luke's, and suddenly everything came back down on me. Everything that happened yesterday, me going to the beach and Nathan finding me, him taking care of me, comforting me, holding me in his arms so tightly till I fell asleep. I slowly turned to my side and realized he was still next to me, holding me ever so gently.

I looked outside to the window and saw that it was very dark outside. I slowly carefully moved Nathan's arms from around me and slowly got up to look at the clock next to Nathan. It was 2:30 in the morning and suddenly I felt hungry and very self-conscious because I was lying in Nathan's bed, in Nathan's clothes while he was holding me. As my mind was moving a mile a minute, Nathan slowly started stirring.

"Mmhh hey, you okay" he asked and startled me from my own thoughts. "Oh um yah, sorry I'm fine."

"You sure"

"Yeah"

"Um what time is it."

"2:30 in the morning."

"Oh is their something you needed, are you cold because I could get you another blanket."

"Um no everything's fine I really appreciate all you've done for me. I'm sure I totally freaked you out because you don't even know what's wrong with me, its just I'm not ready to say it out loud yet. Does that make sense to you."

"Yah totally don't even worry about it if you want to talk hey I'm down, but if you want to tell me just how hot you think I am well I'm here for that too." He said with a smirk.

"Oh god I was waiting for mister cocky to rear his ugly head."

"Well is it really that bad" he asked a little shyly and it surprised me.

"Uh actually I think I kind of like it, but if you ever tell anybody I said that I'll deny it till the end."

"Haha okay fair enough so come back to bed, lets go back to sleep or we could stay up and you could maybe do something for me."

"Well actually I like that plan and I know just what you want hot stuff." I said seductively.

"Um wow really…. uh…. what did you have in mind." He asked having trouble breathing. In a swift motion I straddled his waist and slowly moved my hand up his body feeling his tight muscles contract at my touch. I was losing control, but I held myself and slowly moved my face closer to his. Are lips almost touching, I said in a low whisper. "Nathan"

"What is it Haley" he asked in a husky voice, which was driving me crazy. I went close to his ear and whispered again.

"Mhh I know just what you want."

"Oh uh what do I want."

"You want…"

"Yes"

"You want…Pancakes." I said with a grin.

"Pancakes!" he repeated in an incredulous tone.

I got back up still straddling his waist.

"Well we didn't eat anything since this morning and since you did so much for me I thought I would do something for you. My banana pancakes would fit perfectly at this moment. Why what did you have in mind…hmm." I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Uh nothing, I wasn't thinking of anything in particular, I was just surprised you wanted to make pancakes at 2:45 in the morning. But sound good to me and banana pancakes are my favorite." He said smiling sweetly.

I got off him quickly.

"Okay come on I'm hungry and I don't know where all your stuff is in the kitchen." I said excitedly, which made Nathan laugh.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm still trying to recover form that little torture session you just made me endure."

"Oh so you're going to bring that up, I thought I would be nice and not mention it for your sake. But if your not embarrassed by getting a hard-on by me just talking to you, then I'll just mention it to whoever is willing to listen.

Nathan started pouting, which was going to be the death of me that was for sure.

"You're mean Haley, and I'm being so nice to you too.

"You're right, I'm sorry Nathan. How about I make it up to you."

"How"

"Well how about I make the pancakes with bananas and chocolate chips, will that make it up to you."

"That's good, but I also want you to come surfing with me tomorrow morning."

"Uh Nathan I don't surf."

"Have you tried."

"No, and I don't plan too."

"Please Haley, it would mean so much to me." He said in his husky voice. While coming closer to me until he we were inches apart and I couldn't even find my breath.

"Please" he said again in a low pleading whisper.

"Uh I guess so" I gave in, not being able to resist how adorable he was being.

"Yes! You're going to love it." He said excitedly, then suddenly he gave me a kiss on the cheek, it sent a shiver up my spine and then the moment passed.

We went to the kitchen laughing making jokes, and I was at such ease. We sat and ate the pancakes enjoying each other's company. We finished eating and decided to clean up in the morning, we went back to bed both awaiting the next day.

I was secretly excited about the surfing lesson because I wanted to experience something new and scary. I knew Nathan was the perfect person to show me these new things. As I got into bed he came in shortly after, wrapping his arms around me helping me drift to sleep once again.

"Sweat dreams Haley," he whispered as we both drifted off the sleep.
