Fall

chapter: three

After pulling out of the movie theater Nathan decides to take Haley to another place. They drive for about 10 minutes then they pull up to a lake. the moon is out an it's full so they could see the lake perfectly.

"Wow this place is beautiful, Nathan."

"I know. I used to come here a lot when I needed to clear my head which in high school was a lot. I was so stressed in high school. I probably had higher blood pressure than a 17 year old should have. Anyways c'mon lets get out."

Haley nodded and Nathan got out and walked over and opened Haley's door. She smiled at him. They walked down by the lake and stood there for a few moments but than Nathan sat down and patted the spot beside him. Haley smiled and sat rather close to Nathan.

"So how is this gonna work? I mean us. We obviously can't go public." Haley looked at Nathan and asked.

"I know. Well Hales it looks like we are gonna have to sneak around. If that's okay. I mean if we wanna go out we can drive the next town over or where ever. Plus sneaking around will be fun."

Haley laughed but didn't say anything else. She just nodded her head.

"Nathan, why don't you play basketball anymore? I know you played in high school and college because my dad used to watch your games in college."

"Well there was this guy we played last season and he went to make the winning basket but I blocked it and then made the winning basket for my team. We played them again and he played rough and I hurt my knee nothing permanent but if I play and mess it up again I'm gonna limp for the rest of my life and could possibly be in a wheel chair. I love the game but it is what it is. And I'm not completely letting it go. That's why I'm coaching."

"We'll I'm glad you didn't give it up. Because them we wouldn't be here right now. And I wanna be here right now."

Nathan smiled and put his arm around Haley and laid back. They were just laying there looking at the stars. Together.


After laying under the stars for about an hour they decide they are gonna go back. Nathan didnt know if he should take her back to Peyton's or his place. So he is gonna find out.

"Hey Hales. Am I dropping you off at Peyton's? We could go back to my place and hang out. I know it's only the first date but we aren't exactly a normal couple."

Haley just laughed. "Yeah that's fine. Let me just text Peyton and tell her I might be back later than expected."

Hey peyt. I'm gonna be back later than expected. Don't wait up. Xoxo tutor girl.

They pull up to a big beach house and Haley's mouth dropped open.

"Wait,Nathan this is your house?"

"Yeah when my mom moved she let me have it. My dad didnt agree with it but I officially own it. I like it cause I can rub it in his face."

They walk up to the house and Nathan unlocks the door. He flips the light on and they just entered a big beautiful kitchen.

"Wow this is a beautiful house, Nathan. I could do some serious cooking in this kitchen."

"Well you might have to cook for me someday, Hales."

"For sure. Do you use the kitchen alot?"

"Hah. Me use the kitchen? Haley that's like saying cheerleaders like to get dirty."

"Hey mister I'm a cheerleader."

"Yes, but do you like going out in the woods and getting dirty?"

Haley nodded her head no. Then looked down at her feet.

"I didn't think so. Now lets just say its better for everyone's safety if I don't use the kitchen. Now lets go to the living room."

Haley nodded and followed him into a big living room with lots of furniture and a big plasma screen TV. Haley's eyes got really big but she just followed Nathan to the couch.

"Okay Nathan I have to ask. Do you really wanna try this. Sneaking around I mean. I just don't know why you would pick me over a girl who you could show off around town and actually have a public relationship."

Nathan looked at her with a questioned look on his face. Then put is arm around her.

"Haley, yesterday when I helped you up I felt a spark go up my arm. Now I have never felt that before. And I could care less about PDA or showing my girl off. Yeah it would be nice to show you off. But I find it kinda hot that we are sneaking around."

Haley looked up into Nathan's eyes and she could see that he meant what he said. Haley smiled. Nathan knew he shouldn't kiss her because it was their first date but he couldn't help it. He put his free hand on her cheek and leaned in. They were mere centimeters apart and Haley could feel Nathan's hot breath on her mouth. Finally Nathan closed the gap and their lips touched. At first it was a soft easy kiss but it grew more passionate.

Haley adjusted in her seat so she could kis him better. This was by far the best kiss she has ever had. It was sweet, and Nathan was gentle and caring and passionate. She finally pulled away in need of a breath.

"Wow. That was.." Haley said

"Amazing? I know." Nathan then lightly kissed her lips again. Then again. "Do you wanna watch another movie?"

"Sure. But Nathan, your picking."

"Okay my friend just got me the movie deliverance. I've never seen it."

"Okay let's watch that."

Haley was cuddled up to Nathan and then a scene comes on and right away Nathan shuts the tv off.

"Haley I am so sorry I had no idea that was in there."
