Okay seriously, the reviews I got last chapter were freakin' amazing. You guys are so sweet, and I wish I could thank you individually. Anyway, here's chapter 17, it's pretty fluffy because the last chapters were pretty dramatic, and who doesn't love naley fluff? So, I hope you like it. :) I tried to update as soon as possible because y'all are amazing.
BTW This chapter is my worst writing quality which sucks because last chapter was my best, but I was in a rush to post this so it sucks. Hopefully next update will be Monday. I'm super busy with work/life in general so I'll try my best to update ASAP. Thanks. (This chapter is a filler, but all Naley)
Oh and I'm in a depression because Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer called off their wedding. Please excuse me while I cry for the next 48 hours.
CHAPTER 18: MY KIND OF NIGHT (Luke Bryan's New CD) yay! basically listened to it the entire time I wrote this..
Two weeks later...
Nathan stood anxiously in front of Haley's door, and knocked three times. He smiled widely as the door swung open, revealing a pajama clad Haley.
"Nathan!" Haley screamed as her cheeks turned a crimson red. She looked down at herself and realized she was wearing a white t-shirt and pink and yellow plaid pajama shorts. Her hair was in a messy bun, and she had no make up on.
She starred back at Nathan and quickly closed the door on him.
Nathan furrowed his brows at the now closed door, and knocked again.
"Hales, open up!" He demanded softly.
"I can't let you in!" She said through the door.
Nathan chuckled, "Why not?"
"Because I had no idea you were coming over, and I look like shit!" She cried.
Nathan smiled, "Haley, that's impossible. You can never look like shit, now let me in you goof!"
Haley opened the door slightly, and just stuck her head out. "What are you doing here? It's late, and I thought you were hanging out with your friends-"
"Does a guy really need a reason to see his girlfriend?" Nathan smiled.
Haley opened the door a little wider, and her jaw dropped a little. "What did you just say?" Haley asked quietly.
"Uhh..." Nathan stuttered. Clearly is was too soon to refer to her as his girlfriend... "I wanted to see you."
"No, no, after that."
"Oh." Nathan looked at his feet nervously. "Um well I called you my girlfriend, but if it's too soon-" Nathan mumbled, but was cut off when Haley threw her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.
He reluctantly pulled away and smirked, "What was that for?"
"Does a girl need an excuse to kiss her sexy boyfriend?" Haley matched his smirk.
Nathan chuckled, and leaned down for a sweet kiss.
"I better go change." Haley said pulling away from the kiss, but Nathan gently grabbed her forearm and spun her around back to him.
"You look beautiful Haley." Nathan said.
"Ugh no I don't. I like to look at least half-way decent for my boyfriend."
"You don't even have to try, you always look good babe." Nathan said honestly.
"You're so cheesy!" Haley said as she playfully swatted his shoulder.
Nathan slid his hands down her waist and leaned down to peck her lips. "I happen to think you look incredibly cute in these pajamas."
"Oh really?" Haley flirted.
"Really." Nathan stated and kissed her yet again. "And besides... the activities I have planned for us tonight, doesn't even involve clothing."
Haley rolled her eyes, "So what? You came here for a late night booty call?"
Nathan chuckled and pulled away to grab the items out of the plastic bag he was holding. "No, actually I brought a couple of movies, and popcorn."
"Aw you're the sweetest." Haley smiled and pecked a kiss on his cheek.
Nathan smiled cheekily and pulled her over to the couch. "I missed you." Nathan said into her neck.
"You saw me this morning." Haley giggled.
"I know, but I still missed you."
Haley bit her lip and Nathan started to attack her neck with his lips.
"You know... Brooke and Lucas are coming home from their honeymoon tomorrow. Where are you going to stay?" Haley asked Nathan.
Nathan sighed. Haley was always stressed about something. For the past 2 weeks, since Brooke and Lucas were away on their Honeymoon, Nathan has been staying at their house. He had the summer off, and didn't need to be back in Charlotte until September for training. Since he and Haley had gotten back together, he decided to stay in Tree Hill for the remaining time, so that they could be together.
"I guess I'll go back to the hotel." Nathan shrugged, not really thinking about it.
"That's expensive!" Haley advised.
"I'm in the NBA, don't worry about it." Nathan smirked.
Haley bit her lip, "Well I know we just got back together but um if you want- you don't have to say yes- it's just a suggestion...I was thinking that um you can live with me until the season starts."
Nathan stopped kissing Haley's neck, and looked into her deep brown eyes. "Are you serious?"
"Yes." She confirmed. "I mean only if you want to..."
Nathan cut her off and kissed her deeply. After a few minutes, he pulled away. "I'd love to live with you Hales."
Haley's face broke out into a full blown smile. "Really?"
Nathan's smile mirrored Haley's. "Definitely. I mean we have five years to make up for right? Plus, I'll probably be seeing you every day anyway, so it makes sense."
"Do you think it's crazy if we live together?" Haley asked biting her lip.
Nathan pushed back a piece of her hair behind her ear and kissed her nose.
"Nah, we're not crazy. We're just better than most couples." Nathan replied.
Haley laughed lightly, "Why?"
"Because, we found each other at eighteen, and even after five years of being apart, we became stronger." Nathan smiled and kissed her lips.
"Do you think we're moving too fast?" Haley asked worriedly.
"No, we're just picking up where we left off." He smirked.
Haley playfully rolled her eyes. "Brooke is going to freak out when we tell her."
"Good freak out or bad?" Nathan laughed nervously.
"Oh it'll be good. Don't worry." Haley laughed.
"So I'm probably going to have to drive up to Charlotte and get some of my stuff. I'm running out of clothes."
Haley pouted, 'I'm going to miss you."
"Well you could come with me, I mean, you're off for the summer, and I really want you to meet my parents."
Haley's eyes widened, "Your- your parents?" She stuttered.
"Well yeah, I'm sure they've been dying to meet the girl who had my heart for the past five years." Nathan smiled.
Haley blushed lightly, "What if they hate me?"
"They won't."
"I broke their son's heart. Obviously they're going to hate me." Haley sighed exasperatedly.
Nathan wrapped his arms tighter around Haley's waist and looked deeply into her eyes. "I promise you. They're going to love you. Okay?"
Haley ran her lower lip through her teeth and smiled slightly. "Okay."
Nathan pushed Haley closer to his body and pulled her in for a deep, long kiss.
Haley reluctantly pulled away and sighed happily. "I'm so happy we're finally together."
"Me too. You have no idea how much I missed you."
Haley frowned, "I think I have a pretty good idea."
Nathan chuckled, and reluctantly tore himself from Haley's tight grasp, and got up from the couch.
"Where are you going?" Haley pouted.
"I want popcorn." Nathan explained.
Haley smiled and got up from the couch. "Okay, you make the popcorn, I'll pick the movie."
"I brought a few different ones. 'Iron Man' and 'Bruce Almighty' and 'Spiderman."
Haley rolled her eyes, "Babe, those movies are all guy movies."
"So?" Nathan questioned.
"So, I think you made a promise to me five years ago that we could watch 'The Notebook.'" Haley smiled cunningly.
"Is it a chick flick?" Nathan whined.
"Oh no." Haley lied. "Don't worry. You'll like it."
"Alright, you set it up. I'll make the popcorn." Nathan stated.
A few minutes later, Haley was curled up on her couch starring at the title screen of 'The Notebook' and anxiously waiting for her boyfriend to join her.
"Nathan? Are you almost done in there?" She called.
A few seconds later, Nathan came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of popcorn, and two glasses of water.
"You're the best." Haley said cheekily.
"I know." Nathan smirked, and took a seat next to Haley.
Haley instantly curled up next to him, and put her head on his chest. Nathan wrapped his arm around her and kissed the crown of her head. "I can definitely get used to this." He murmured.
Haley lifted her head off of his chest and looked into his light blue eyes. "Get used to what?"
"Holding you like this. I never realized how much I missed this feeling, you know?"
Haley nodded and kissed Nathan's jaw. "I love you."
"I love you too." Nathan whispered.
"I can't wait to live with you!" Haley cheered excitedly.
Nathan laughed, "Me too."
"I'm so glad you got off that plane." Haley whispered as she felt the tears filling up in her eyes.
Nathan looked down and instantly wiped away the tears that threatened to fall. "Hey, shh. Don't cry, okay? We're finally together, and we're happy. Let's not think about what could have happened, and focus on what is happening." Nathan advised.
"When did you become so insightful?" Haley joked.
Nathan shrugged, and hugged her tighter, "Right around the time I almost lost the one real thing I've ever loved."
Haley's heart fluttered at his words, and leaned up for a sweet kiss. "I can't believe I almost lost you forever." Haley sighed. "I hate myself for making you leave in the first place."
"Hey." Nathan 'ssh'ed her again. "What did I just say? It doesn't matter about the past. We found our way back to each other. That's all that matters- that we're together. Not many couples who went through what we did, get back together, but we did. You know what that means?"
Haley shook her head 'no'.
"It means we're soul mates. Someone once told me that 'people who are meant to be together, always find their way in the end." Nathan stated.
Haley felt another tear escape her eye, and she shifted on the couch so that she was straddling Nathan.
"I love you so much." Haley whispered against his lips, and kissed him feverishly.
Nathan instantly parted his lips and granted her entry, as he let his instincts take over, and he kissed her back with full force. When air became an issue, he pulled away and smiled. "I love you too Haley James."
"Good, now can we watch the movie?" Haley giggled.
Nathan playfully rolled his eyes, and grabbed the remote to press 'play'. "Anything for my girl." He smirked.
The movie played, and Haley watched with wide eyes as she watched intently. Nathan stopped paying attention to the movie a while ago, and just starred at the beautiful girl in front of him. He watched her eyes light up when Noah and Allie kissed in the rain. He also watched her eyes fill with tears, and stain his shirt. Nathan loved watching the emotions take over her face. He would stare at her forever if he could.
Haley finally felt his intense gaze on her, and she looked up. "What?" She questioned, suddenly feeling a little self-conscious.
"Nothing. I'm just remembering." Nathan replied simply.
"Remembering what?" Haley whispered.
"How you put your hair up in a bun on our first date." Nathan smiled.
Haley stared at him in shock, "How the hell do you even remember that?"
"I remember everything about you Haley."
Haley let out a small laugh, "That sounded creepy."
Nathan rolled his eyes, "I'm trying to be romantic."
Haley smiled and kissed his cheek. "You are very romantic, and I love you for that."
"Consider yourself lucky because I wouldn't watch sappy love movies with anyone else." Nathan stated.
Haley giggled, "I am the luckiest girl in the world." She pressed her soft lips against his, and kissed him softly. "What else do you remember?" She asked.
"Well I remember our second date, I took you to that drive-in movie theater. Do you remember that?"
Haley laughed loudly. "Of course I remember. We got caught making out. How could I forget?"
"What movie is even playing?" Seventeen year old Haley, asked as she looked over at Nathan who was in the middle of trying to find a parking spot.
"Umm, I'm not sure." He replied.
"It's not scary right?" Haley fidgeted.
Nathan laughed, and looked at Haley who was nervously playing with her pinky ring. "I don't think so, but even if it is, don't worry. I'll protect you." He smirked.
Haley bit her lip, and proceeded to look out the window. This was her second date with Nathan, and she was still a little nervous to be around him. She wasn't used to having an irregular heartbeat and butterflies flying in her stomach.
"You okay?" Nathan asked concerned.
Haley nodded, "Yeah. Thanks."
Nathan smiled and finally parked the car in the middle of the parking lot, which had a fairly decent view of the giant movie screen .
"Okay, I'm going to get us some snacks. I'll be right back." Nathan promised.
Haley gave him a shy smile, and nodded. A few minutes later, he came back holding a large bucket of buttery popcorn, sour gummy worms, m&m's, and starbursts, as well as two cans of sodas.
"Is it just a coincidence or did you actually remember my favorite candies?" Haley asked with a large smile.
"I remembered." Nathan smirked. "You told me a few days ago at the beach."
"Impressive." Haley praised.
"I try." Nathan smirked, and got back into the car, and got more comfortable. "So the movie is 'I Am Number Four.' It's like an action movie." Nathan explained.
Haley sighed a sigh of relief, thankful that it wasn't a scary movie.
Nathan took a large handful of popcorn and stuffed his face with it, while Haley let out a loud laugh.
"What?" He asked while chuckling.
"Nothing." Haley giggled.
"No seriously, what?"
"You're just really cute." Haley said shyly.
"Cute?" Nathan playfully scoffed, "I prefer the term, 'sexy beast.'" He joked.
Haley playfully slapped his shoulder and giggled. "You're so cocky."
Nathan gave Haley a crooked smile, and slowly leaned over the console to meet her lips for a sweet kiss. After about five seconds, Haley pulled away and sighed happily.
"You taste like popcorn." She laughed, and wiped her lips with her hand.
"You want some?" Nathan laughed, and took a hand of popcorn and flicked it at her.
"You didn't!" She scolded incredulously.
"I did." Nathan smirked.
Haley playfully scoffed, and glared at him. "Oh you're on, Scott!"
"Bring it, James!" Nathan encouraged her, as she grabbed a bunch of popcorn and threw it down his shirt.
"Oh you're good." Nathan laughed wildly and threw more popcorn at her.
They left throwing popcorn at each other until they ran out, and the movie eventually started. Nathan secretly grabbed Haley's hand, and rubbed soothing circles on the back of her palm.
"I really like you Haley." Nathan smiled genuinely.
Haley ran her lip through her teeth, and smiled. "I like you too."
"I'm really happy you finally agreed to go out with me. I have a feeling this will be an amazing summer." Nathan whispered and leaned closer to her.
Haley blushed lightly, "Me too." She said trying to hide her excitement.
"You're so beautiful." Nathan whispered as he stared intently in her eyes.
Haley gulped the lump that was forming in her throat, and blushed profusely. She could feel her self drowning in his gorgeous blue eyes.
"Thank you." She said breathlessly.
"Can I kiss you again?" Nathan asked.
"You don't even have to ask." Haley said in a flirty tone, and slowly licked her lips anxiously waiting for Nathan's kiss.
Nathan smirked, and leaned closer as he pressed his lips lightly against hers. Haley tried her hardest not to smile against his lips, but she couldn't help it, so Nathan ended up kissing her teeth.
"Sorry." She said shyly.
Nathan smiled back and kept kissing her. As the time passed, the kiss grew with intensity, and at one point, Haley ended up crawling over the console and in Nathan's lap. Their tongues dueled for dominance, and Haley let out a loud moan. She felt incredibly embarrassed, and she quickly pulled away and hid her face behind her hands.
"Why'd you stop? It was just getting good." Nathan said light heartedly.
"I just- never- I'm kind of new at this whole 'making out' thing…" She said shyly.
"Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Nathan said soothingly.
"Yeah but you're advanced and I'm… not."
"I don't care." Nathan said honestly, "I like you, and that's all that matters."
Haley blushed again, and wrapped her arms around Nathan. "Well that's good. I like you… a lot."
Nathan smiled widely and pulled Haley closer to him, as they instantly started to make out again. They got lost in each other's kiss and didn't even realize the movie had ended over ten minutes ago.
Haley suddenly jumped off of Nathan's lap, when she heard a loud knock on his car door window.
Nathan's eyes widened and nervously rolled down his window. "Can I help you officer?"
"Yeah, the movie ended a while ago. We're closing, so you kids need to leave." He demanded.
Nathan nodded, and Haley scrambled back over to the passenger seat, as she hid her face in her hands.
"Oh my god! That was so embarrassing." She exclaimed.
Nathan snickered, "I feel like every time we are together, someone always yells at us."
Haley sighed and slid down in the chair, "Oh this sucks!"
Nathan laughed and turned his head to look at Haley, "Well, I happened to have an amazing time tonight."
Haley bit her lip and smiled, "I did too, thank you."
"You're welcome." Nathan smiled in return, and pressed a lingering kiss on her cheek, as he drove them back to the cabins.
"That was fun." Haley remembered. "I was so nervous, because you were insanely cute, and that stupid smirk of yours- ugh, it gave me butterflies. It still does." She revealed.
Nathan smirked, and Haley playfully rolled her eyes. "You love me." He concluded.
"Unfortunately." Haley joked, causing Nathan to pout. "Kidding. I do love you." She smiled and ran a hand over his stubble cheek.
"Now shh." She said, "You have to see the end of this movie!" She advised, and curled back up into Nathan's embrace.
After about forty minutes, the movie finally ended, and Haley swore she saw Nathan wipe away a stray tear on his cheek.
"Are you crying?" She smirked.
"No!" Nathan said a little too quickly, "I, um.. had something in my eye." He lied.
"Don't lie to me Nathan Scott." Haley said as she pointed her index finger at him, and he playfully pretended to bite it.
"Damn, you're kind of sexy when you're mad." He smirked.
"Whatever. You cried." Haley gloated.
"Did not."
"Did to."
"Not."
"You did." Haley said folding her arms across her chest.
"Fine maybe a little- but you lied to me! You said it wasn't a chick flick!" Nathan rushed out.
Haley playfully rolled her eyes, "Oops." She giggled, "I can't believe you cried! Big Bad Nathan Scott never cries!"
Nathan let out a long huff, and folded his hands over his chest. "It was sad."
"It's okay. I think it's cute when you get all sensitive. It's a side that no one see's but me, and I like it." Haley said sweetly.
"Well I like how everyone thinks you're all innocent but in bed-" Nathan started, but Haley then clamped her hand over his mouth to stop him from finishing the sentence.
"Perve!" Haley shouted.
Nathan laughed, and suddenly grabbed Haley by the hips, and threw her down on the sofa. He started tickling her all over, and she let out loud screams.
"Baby!" Haley giggled. "Stop!"
Nathan laughed loudly and continued tickling her. Haley screamed and laughed until she couldn't breathe, "Nathan-" She gasped. "I-I can't breathe! Sto-stop!"
Nathan finally stopped tickling her, and threw her over his shoulder, and carried her to her room. He slammed the door shut with his foot, and threw her on the bed. Haley gave him a sultry smile, and pulled him on top of her, as she met his lips with a heated kiss.
Things quickly progressed, clothes flew off, and Nathan and Haley showed each other how much they really did love one another.
"Tutor girl, open up!" Brooke screamed as she knocked rapidly on Haley's front door.
Haley groaned loudly, and pressed her face further into Nathan's chest.
"What's going on?" He mumbled.
"Brooke's here." Haley responded sleepily, still wrapped up in Nathan's arms.
"Ugh, it's like seven in the morning!" Nathan complained.
The knocks grew more persistent, and louder, until Haley screamed, "Coming!"
"Yeah you should be with me…" Nathan groaned.
Haley playfully slapped him on his naked back, and moved out of his grasp. "Don't go!" Nathan grumbled.
"Baby, I have to. I need to tell her we're together." Haley explained as she tied on a thin, silky robe around her body.
Nathan frowned when she left his arms, but turned over and closed his eyes. "Okay, I'm going back to sleep."
Haley smiled, and walked over to place a kiss on the back of his head. "Love you."
"Love you too." Nathan mumbled into the pillow.
Haley then retreated out of her bedroom and swung open her front door to reveal Brooke's peppy smile. She then flung herself into Haley's arms and hugged her.
"Hales! I missed you!" Brooke screamed.
Haley laughed and hugged her back. "Aw Brooke, I missed you too, Tigger. How was your honeymoon?"
Brooke rolled her eyes, "Oh hunny, we're not taking about that now. I'm here to find out what happened with you and Nathan, and don't lie to me because I see his car parked outside, and you clearly had sex- I'm going to guess 3 times- last night."
Haley blushed, "Four." She admitted shyly.
"OH MY GOD!" Brooke screamed happily, "YOU ANIMAL!"
Nathan suddenly emerged into the living room, wearing nothing but a pair of blue basketball shorts, and had bed head. Haley had to remind herself that she had a guest, otherwise she would have ran into his arms and took him right there.
Nathan rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and smirked, "What are you screaming about Davis?"
"You. Haley. Oh my god. What did I miss? Tell me everything!" She demanded.
Nathan smiled and walked up behind Haley and hugged her from behind. He then placed a sweet kiss on her cheek, and Brooke clapped.
"Naley is finally together! Thank god! Ugh! You guys are freaking adorable." She gushed.
Haley giggled, and leaned into Nathan's back. "Okay, well the night of the wedding, we slept together, but I woke up, and he wasn't there-"
"WHY?" Brooke shouted angrily.
"Relax Brooke, I'm getting to that part-" Haley explained, "Okay so, he left a note saying he was going to the airport, so I took a cab, and tried to find him, but when I got there the stewardess said the plane took off, so I fell on the floor crying, but then I heard Nathan call my name, and I ran over to him, and told him I loved him." Haley finished with a wide smile adjourning her features.
Brooke squealed with delight and ran over to the couple, and enveloped them in a large hug. "I'm so happy for you guys!" She cried.
Nathan smiled, ignored Brooke, and leaned down to kiss Haley.
"Okay you're cute and all, but you really don't need to do that in front of me." Brooke scolded lightly.
Haley giggled and blushed into Nathan's chest.
"Sorry Brooke, I love her."
Brooke squealed and hugged Haley again. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks Brooke." Haley smiled back at Brooke, and met Nathan's gleeful gaze.
"I still can't believe you guys did it four times! Damn!"
Haley blushed, "Brooke!" She scolded, while Nathan gave Brooke a thumb's up.
"This calls for a celebration!" Brooke cheered. "Tonight, Broody and I are treating you to dinner. Meet us at Karen's at like seven."
"Okay." Haley agreed, and watched at Brooke skipped out of her house and back into her car.
"I think she's happier than we are." Nathan joked.
"No once can be as happy as I am right now." Haley said as she hugged Nathan tightly.
"I'm happier." Nathan teased.
"Nuh uh. I'm the happiest and luckiest girl in the world." Haley smiled, and leaned on her tippy toes to kiss him deeply.
"Well then that makes me the happiest and luckiest bastard in this world." Nathan concluded, and kissed Haley back, pouring his feelings into the kiss.
"Nathan? What are you still doing in Tree Hill?" Lucas asked from his chair in Karen's café as he and Haley walked in hand in hand.
Nathan looked down at Haley and smiled, "I guess you can say I kind of met someone."
Lucas looked from Nathan to Haley, and stood up smiling. "Are you serious? You're together?" He asked happily.
Haley nodded eagerly, and Nathan leaned down to peck a kiss on her lips.
"That's great! I'm so happy for you guys! When did this-? How?"
"You don't really want to know…" Brooke spoke up, and Haley blushed.
"Well it's about time you get your head out of your asses, and admit your feelings!" Lucas joked as he pulled Nathan in for a manly hug, and then kissing Haley on the cheek.
"So are you in Tree Hill for good?" Brooke asked Nathan.
"I'll be here for the summer, but then I have to head back to Charlotte in September for training." Nathan explained.
"So where are you staying?" Lucas asked.
"I'll be living with Hales." Nathan and Haley both smiled.
"Good because no offense Nate, I don't think you'd want to stay with us." Brooke smirked.
"Yeah no-not with you honeymooners. Plus, I'll get to spend more time with my girl." Nathan winked at Haley.
"So then what are you going to do when you go back to Charlotte?" Lucas asked.
Haley bit her lip, "We haven't thought about that yet."
"Oh no, not again." Brooke sighed.
"What?" Nathan asked.
"This is just like when we were eighteen. You guys were all cute and adorable for the summer, but then you broke up because you went your separate ways."
Haley frowned, "I know, but we're going to make sure that doesn't happen this time, right Nathan?"
Nathan nodded, "Yeah, I mean I'm sure it'll be tough, doing the long distant thing, but I'm willing to do what it takes to stay with Hales."
"Yeah, and I would even move to Charlotte if I have to." Haley added.
"Are you serious?" Nathan, Brooke, and Lucas all asked.
Haley bit her lip and nodded, "Yeah, because I'm not going to lose Nathan again. I love him."
