Chapter 6

"Sshhhh!!" Haley said in the quiet cinema. Quiet except for the sound of Nathan's voice. She was trying to concentrate on the big screen in front of her, except that Nathan kept making little comments as the movie rolled along.

"Hey, I thought you were the one who vetoed Iron Man, and now you're asking me to shut up?" Nathan whispered back, throwing a handful of popcorn at her.

"Nathan, stop it or I swear to God-"

"What? What are you gonna do?" Nathan taunted.

"Hey will you two at the back there shut the hell up!" A man in front shouted at them.

"Oh God this is so embarrassing," Haley said as she slid down her seat. Next to her, she could hear Nathan chuckling. Luckily, the movie would end in five minutes. She didn't think she could stand the humiliation any longer. She heaved a sigh of relief five minutes later as she watched the credits rolled.

"Remind me never to go out with you again," she said to him as soon as they got out of the cinema, smacking him making him yelp in pain.

"Owww!! Hey you were the one who asked me out," he grinned at her scowling face. He was glad she did though. He was having so much fun hanging out with her, it almost felt like things were back to normal.

She gave him an evil look before saying, "Yeah, momentary lack of judgment on my part. And can you believe the guy who shouted at us? I could hear him chomping on his popcorn from where we were sitting."

"Yeah, I bet you can even hear him from Mars," Nathan said laughing. "Hey, I'm glad we went out tonight. I've missed you. I've missed us."

Haley looked at his handsome face and smiled. "I've missed you too, buddy. Come on, let's go get something to eat. I'm starving!"

"Yeah, when are you not Hales? You eat like a dude," he said with laughter in his eyes. "So what do you feel like eating?"

"How about we grab some burgers? Or pizzas? Or hang out at Karen's?"

"Which one is it? Hurry up, Hales. You're making my head spin."

Haley linked her hand with his and smiled. "Let's go to Karen's."

"Good choice. I'll race you there," he said releasing her hand and sprinted ahead of her.

"Hey, no fair! Come back here, you bonehead!" she yelled and started to run. By the time they got to Karen's, both of them were out of breath.

"Damn, Hales. Not bad for a girl," Nathan said and gave her a wink.

She punched him on the arm and said, "that better be the last time you say that, you big bully. Come on, I could use some iced tea after that cheap trick you pulled back there."

Nathan put up his hands and grinned. "Hey, I won fair and square." Haley stuck out her tongue at him and opened the door, making Karen look up.

"Hey kids. Have you two been running? And why?" Karen asked, confusion written on her face.

"Ask the cheater here. Hey Karen, can I have some chicken noodle soup with extra noodle, pretty please. You know what, I'll go get it myself," she said and headed towards the kitchen.

"Hey, Hales. Could you get something for me too?"

Haley looked at him and said sweetly, "go get your own, cheater."

"What's up with her? Nathan, what did you do to her?" Karen asked.

"Nothing. She's just pissed I won our race," Nathan said, giving Karen his famous smirk. Karen shook her head and smiled at their antics before heading back to the counter to get them drinks.

A few minutes later, Haley returned carrying a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup, and knowing her appetite, with extra noodle. She sat the bowl down carefully on the table before sitting herself down and grabbing her spoon and dug in. "Oh my God, this is definitely the best chicken noodle," she said in between mouthfuls.

"Real nice Hales," Nathan said laughing, watching her stuff the noodle in her mouth. Seconds later, Karen returned to their table with Nathan's burger. "Thanks, Karen," he said and took in a mouthful of the burger. He hadn't even eaten half of his burger when Haley slurped the last of her noodle and got up from her chair.

"Where are you going?" Nathan asked.

"Get some pizza," she said nonchalantly.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously dude, I'm starving."

"You sure are something else, Haley James."

"I thought you knew that already," she said and gave him a wink before disappearing into the kitchen again.

I sure do, Nathan thought wistfully.

Half an hour later, both of them sat back admiring the stack of empty plates on the table. "Wow, did we do that?" Haley asked. "Nice work, Nathan."

Nathan laughed. "You weren't so bad yourself. Hey, do you remember the time when I dared you to eat two boxes of pizzas in 2 minutes?"

Haley groaned at the memory. "How can I not? I threw up on your shoes right after."

"Yeah, I wanted to kill you when you did that. Those were my brand new Converse!"

"Hey, don't blame the player, blame the game," Haley said grinning. "Fun times, huh. Come on, it's getting late. I need the exercise anyway." She started to get up and got her jack from her chair. "Hey Karen! We're leaving. See you."

Karen looked at them and smiled. "Ok, and Nathan, make sure she's home safe."

Nathan gave her a mock salute and said, "yes ma'am." They stepped out of the cafe and walked hand in hand in comfortable silence.

She took in the evening breeze, content with his company. They decided to walk along the dock, which was one of their favourite places in Tree Hill. "Ooohhh look. Ice cream!" she exclaimed, pointing a finger at an ice cream cart.

"What are you, five?" Nathan chuckled. "Alright, come on. It's on me."

She jumped up and down gleefully, pulling Nathan along with her. "Two scoops of chocolate please," she said to the ice cream man, and waited for him to hand it to her.

"Here you go. Anything for your boyfriend?" he asked Nathan.

She looked at at Nathan with a stricken look on her face. "Oh, no. He's not my boyfriend."

"Oh, sorry. My bad. So do you want one?" the ice cream man asked.

"Emmm...no thanks," Nathan said to him. He promptly paid the money and started walking away with Haley right on his heels. Haley silently licked her ice cream as she watched him. Something in the air shifted between them as soon as she said that he was not her boyfriend. She quickly finished her ice cream before catching up to Nathan.

"Hey, wait up," Haley said as she caught up with him. Suddenly he turned around to face her, anger flashing in his eyes.

"I've asked you this question before Hales. Is the idea of us being together that repulsive to you?" he asked, searching her eyes for answers.

"Nathan, it's not that-"

"Then what is it? Everytime there's a mention of us being a couple, why does it frighten you so much?" Nathan said, glaring at her. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "You know what, don't answer that. Let's just go," he said and turned away.

"Nathan-" her words caught in her throat. There was nothing she could say to him. His words rang in her ears. He was right. The possibility of them being together frightened here, but she also knew that nothing could be more right than that. She let him walk ahead of her, making sure she was always one step behind. She didn't think she could look at his face just yet. She didn't want to see the disappointment, the hurt, the frustration.

After a long painful walk home, they finally arrived at her house. She walked up the steps to where he stood, his face turned away from her. She silently slid her key into the lock and turned it slowly. She could feel him starting to move away and grabbed his arm.

"Nathan-"

"I should go-" they both said at the same time. Still Haley didn't let go of his arm. She looked at him in the eyes, those deep blue eyes that she was so familiar with. Except that now she was looking at it differently. Before she could stop herself, she stood on her tiptoes and brushed her lips against his, unsure of his reaction.

Nathan felt his heart skip a beat at the touch. "Haley, what are you doing?" he whispered against her lips.

"I'm kissing you, you idiot," she said softly. "Now, are you gonna-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Nathan's lips came crushing down on hers in a searing kiss, making them moan at the contact. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. She felt his hand cup her face, felt his tongue tracing the lines of her lips, begging for entrance. She opened her mouth slightly and touched his tongue with hers. Feeling that his heart could burst any second, Nathan groaned.

"Haley, do you have any idea what you're doing to me?" he said, his breath ragged from their kiss. He looked into her eyes, unsure of what he was seeing. He bent his face again to reclaim her mouth, couldn't stand the thought of their tongues be parted.

She felt them move towards the door and with one hand she turned the knob, letting them both in without breaking their contact. He kicked the door behind them and led her to the couch. They continued devouring each other until they were both gasping from air. Suddenly, she stood up and held out her hand to him. He took it and looked at her questioningly, letting her lead him to her bedroom.

Once inside, he took her arms and rested his forehead against hers. "Hales, are you sure about this?"

She looked at him shyly. "Yes."

With that one word, he kissed her again. She closed her eyes at the tenderness of their kiss. Their tongues continued to explore each other as Nathan fumbled with her halter top. Finally being able to untangle the string that kept her top in place, he pulled it over her head, revealing her black strapless bra. He took in the sight before him, feeling his breathing come in short pants.

"You're beautiful Hales," he said and traced his fingers along her neckline, hearing her whimper at the touch. He led her to the bed and gently pushed her down before pulling his t-shirt over his head.

"So are you," she said softly, looking at his rock hard body. She touched his nipples tentatively and heard him moan softly. Amazed that this simple touch could have that effect on him, she rubbed his nipples and felt him go harder by the second.

"God Hales," he managed to say and grabbed her hand to stop her ministration. He wanted them to go slow, he wanted it to last. He lowered his head and kissed her, feeling that he could kiss her forever and never let go. Teasing her body with his fingers, he slowly traced her skin until he reached her jeans. Unbuttoning it with one hand, he unzipped it slowly. Reluctantly he lifted his lips and with both hands he slowly pulled the jeans down her legs, leaving her with nothing but her undergarments. He could see that her underwear was already wet and felt a low groan in his throat. He did the same with his jeans, throwing it carelessly on the floor.

"Nathan, be gentle. You know I've never-" her words were muffled by his lips grazing hers softly.

"I know. I promise," he said softly. With one hand he unclasped her bra and lifted it, gasping as he saw her perfect mounds. Lowering his head, he took one rosy bud into her mouth, sucking it gently. He felt her writhe beneath him.

"Nathan-" she gasped at the touch. Her hands went to his head, grasping his hair. He continued his nipping before finally lifting his head, only to do the same with her other nipple.

He had never made love like this before. He didn't think he could. All the others were just meaningless sex, but this. This was different. He suddenly went still as a rush of emotions took over him.

Unsure of what to do and thinking that she was doing something wrong, Haley touched his body gently and made her way down to his boxers until she reached something hard and heard him groan. She felt his hand on hers, stopping her midway.

"Not yet," she heard him say.

Nathan slid one finger in her underwear and felt her go tense. "I won't hurt you. Not intentionally," he said as he looked deeply into her eyes. She nodded silently. He slid her underwear down her legs and caressed one leg upwards until he reached her centre. He could already feel her soaking wetness and had to bite his bottom lip to restraint himself. He gently stroked her making her moan. She instinctively arched her back, begging for more.

"God Hales if you knew how much I want you right now," he whispered, his voice thick with passion. He removed his fingers and took off the last piece of garment on him. Placing himself at her entrance, he kissed her, lacing his fingers with hers above her head. Lifting his mouth, he looked at her and said, "I know I said that I won't hurt you, Hales. If I could make it hurt any less, I would." Again, she silently nodded.

He slowly parted her legs and lifted her hips and with one thrust, he entered her, breaking down her wall, making her scream as the pain sliced through her body. He pulled her close to him, kissing her neck and let the pain subside. He looked at her and saw a lone tear fall down her cheek. "I'm sorry," he whispered and gently kissed the salty liquid.

She smiled at him. "It's ok." She gently rocked her hips and without knowing what she was doing, wrapped her legs around his waist, moulding themselves together. Pain turned into pleasure as they moved together in complete harmony, their eyes never leaving each other, not even for a second.

Their breaths mingled with each other in short pants. "Oh God," she groaned as she felt herself falling closer to the edge. She never imagined that this was what it would feel like. She felt Nathan pulling in and out of her and thought she could burst into a thousand flames. Their movement grew faster and faster until at last she reached her climax.

"Nathan!" she screamed his name. He slowed his movement to make that moment last for her. She continued to rock her hips making him groan.

He didn't think he could take it anymore. With one last thrust, he felt himself fall into oblivion, screaming her name as he did so. He collapsed on top of her, their breathing ragged, their heartbeats racing, almost in sync with one another. Afraid that he was crushing her, he rolled over taking her with him, unwilling to break the contact. He held her close and felt her breath slowly go back to normal.

"Hey," he said softly. "How do you feel?"

She murmured against his chest. "Sleepy."

He smiled and kissed the top of her head softly. "I love you Hales," he said, uttering the words that he had never said to any other woman except her, only she didn't hear him as sleep finally overtook her.

So what do you guys think? Did I do it right? Just keep in mind that this chapter is important for what's gonna happen later. Leave me some love ;) Cheers!
