Chapter 5

The next day Haley woke up early to make breakfast for them. She tried to follow all the adivices her mom gave to her, after all she needed to be prepared to become a good housewife.

She couldn't help but remember what happened the previous night. She thought Nathan was really nice and gentle to her and the kiss they shared was amazing. She had never kissed before, at least not a real kiss, just an innocent peck on the mouth when she was kid.

Nathan and Haley hadn't spoken much after the kiss. The movie ended a few minutes later and Nathan said he had to go to bed. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and wished her goodnight before he went to his bedroom.

A few minutes later Haley went to her bedroom and slept like a baby.

Nathan barely slept last night.

He had tried to call Lucas but he didn't answer his phone. Nathan wanted to talk to Lucas about what had happened, he wanted to ask what's next now on this relationship thing. Lucas had experience with relationships, he didn't. He had always thought it was too much trouble and headache and that one-night stands were much easier and sp not complicated like a real relationship.

Nathan felt like he needed some sort of guidance on this relationship kind of thing. It was a whole new world to him. He felt like a teenager girl that had her first boyfriend, who didn't know what to do next. He honestly did not like to feel like that.

And he blamed his mother and her stupid idea.

"I need to talk to you man." Nathan said as he walked into Lucas's office.

"Good morning to you too, Nate." Lucas said looking at his cousin.

"What's up? How was it last night?" Lucas asked.

"I did what you said. I started a conversation with her, I asked Haley things about her life and we kissed." Nathan stated.

"You kissed her?" He asked surprised.

"It happened."

"But that was just it?" Lucas questioned with a knowing look. He knew Nathan very well.

"Yes Lucas. It was just one kiss." Nathan answered annoyed by his cousin's question. He might not have a good reputation but it's not like he'd try something more with Haley, only if she wanted it...

"Did you liked it?"

"The kiss? Yes!"

"No, I meant the conversation with her. But that's good to know too." Lucas teased and received a glare from Nathan.

"This is not a joke Lucas. I don't know what to do." Nathan sighed desperately.

"About what?"

"You know what. I have to decide if I want to get married to her or not." Nathan told Lucas.

"Since when you've become such a drama queen?" Lucas questioned with a smirk on his face, clearly amused by his cousin raction.

"Dude, I'm this close to give you a punch in the face." Nathan warned the blonde guy.

"Nate, you have to relax. You still have a couple of days to decide what you're gonna do and besides, it seems like you two are getting along which is a good thing. You two have never met before and now are living under the same roof. Some couples date for years but when they start living together it's like a nightmare." Lucas reasoned.

Nathan thought about what Lucas said and he was right. He enjoyed Haley's company and it was nice to go back home and find her there. The fact that she was a great cooker was a bonus.

Lucas watched Nathan deep in thoughts. He had never seen Nathan worried like that. At first Lucas assumed that Nathan would just say no right away, but Nathan was actually considering the idea of getting married. Lucas never thought this day would come. He felt optimist on the relationship between those two.

Haley had just finished washing the dishes when she heard the door bell rang. She wondered who might've be.

Maybe it's Mrs. Scott she thought.

She left the apron on the counter and went to the living room to asnwer the door. First she looked around the room to check if everything was in order and organized, she didn't want her future mother-in-law to think she was a bad housewife.

Haley opened the door and found another blonde standing in the hallway.

"Peyton!" She said surprised to see her there.

"Hey Haley! How are you?" Peyton greeted her with a smile.

"I'm good. How are you?"

"I'm great. You're probably wondering why I'm here right?"

"Yes." Haley confirmed.

"Well, I came here to pick you up." Peyton replied simply.

"To where?" Haley wondered.

"I wanna show you the city. You have been in this apartment these days, I'm sure you're getting bored." Peyton stated.

"No, I actually don't mind," Haley said.

"Oh come on Haley, are you going to decline my invitation?"

"Of course not. But I need to call Nathan first."

"Sure thing." Peyton nodded. Nathan is gonna love to hear that, Peyton thought.

"It'll be quick." Haley said as she went to get the phone to call Nathan.

"Hello?"

"Haley? What happened?" Nathan asked worried. Haley would only call him if it was something urgent.

"Hey Nathan, Peyton is taking me out to show me the city, I just wanted to tell you." She told him.

Nathan wasn't sure if he liked that, but he couldn't tell Haley that she couldn't go.

"Nathan?" Haley spoke when Nathan went silence for a moment.

"Yeah, you can go. It'll be good for you." He told her.

"Okay then."

"Have fun."

"Thanks. Bye."

"Bye, Haley."

Haley hung up the phone.

"Shall we go?" Peyton asked.

"Okay, let me just finish something in the kitchen."

"What is it? I can help you." Peyton offered.

"No, it's okay, it's just the dishes."

"I can help with that Haley. There's no problem."

The two women went to the kitchen and soon enough they were done and ready to explore the city.

It was the second time on that day that Nathan stormed into Lucas' office. The blonde man was starting to get used to it.

"Peyton took Haley out to show her the city." Nathan told Lucas.

"That's great!"

"Did you know that?" Nathan questioned.

"No, I didn't." Lucas denied. "Why?"

"Peyton better don't do or say anything,"

"Like talk about your past? Your bad reputation?"

"Yes!" Nathan shouted, getting frustrated.

"Don't worry Nathan. Peyton just wants to get closer to Haley. She liked her, you know? She just wanna show the city to Haley so the girl wouldn't be at home alone the whole day." Lucas explained.

"So you knew it, huh?"

"She commented that she was thinking about inviting Haley to go out. She didn't give much details." Lucas shrugged.

"You should've told me before."

"I wasn't sure if she was really gonna do that. Besides I don't see what's the big deal."

"Your girlfriend hates me!"

"Not she doesn't." Lucas denied.

"She doesn't like me either." Nathan pointed out.

"Well..." Lucas tried to argue but Nathan had a point. "Just because you two can't stand each other doesn't mean she's gonna trash you to Haley."

"Yeah, right." Nathan scoffed, not believing what he was hearing.

"Stop freaking out Nathan,"

"I'm gonna head back to my office." He said storming out of the room.

It was late at night. After dinner, Nathan helped Haley with the dishes and then they went to sit together on the couch to watch tv. It was a nice moment just the two of them relaxing on the couch after a busy day.

"Did you have fun today?" Nathan asked looking down at Haley.

"Yeah, it was really nice." She replied.

"I'm sorry I haven't spent some time with you to show you the city. I'm really busy with work." Nathan apologized.

"It's okay. I understand." Haley assured him.

"I'm gonna take you to some of my favorite places, like a really good restaurant I know downtown. I promise."

Haley just smiled at him and he kissed her forehead. He wasn't sure he would be able to keep the promise. He only had a couple more days to decide about the marriage. Nathan only hoped he would make the right decision.
