“I think we should find a hobby,” Haley stated, her fingers playing with Nathan’s which were resting on his stomach. They were taking a break from studying and were now lying cuddled up together on her bed.
“I’ve got a hobby.”
“Basketball is not a hobby, Nathan.”
He smirked at her. “I wasn’t talking about basketball. I think my Dad would have a fit if he ever heard me refer to basketball as a hobby.”
Smiling at the thought, she nodded her head. “Yeah, I can imagine. Okay, then, what hobby were you talking about?”
“You.”
“Me? I’m your hobby? Gee, thanks a lot.”
“Crap! It sounds bad when you say it out loud.”
“Yeah, no kidding.”
“I just meant that I prefer spending my time with you than wasting it doing some stupid hobby like...I don’t know, stamp collecting.”
“Stamp collecting?” Haley couldn’t contain her laughter as she shifted over and propped herself up on her elbow so she could see his face better. “Somehow I can’t picture you stamp collecting. Scrapbooking maybe, but not stamp collecting.”
“Very funny!”
Leaning in towards him, she pressed a kiss onto his cheek. “Aww, I’m sorry, baby.” Her teeth sunk into her bottom lip to try and stop herself from laughing again which was pretty hard given the pouty expression her boyfriend was currently wearing.
“You don’t sound sorry.”
“I-I am, I promise.”
Nathan had to fight his own urge to laugh when he saw the way her large, chocolate brown eyes were twinkling with amusement. She was biting her lip so hard it was a wonder she hadn’t yet drawn blood. “Uh huh. So, were you thinking of any specific hobbies?”
“Well, I was thinking maybe we could go swimming or I could teach you to...”
Her voice faded into the background as Nathan remembered the last time he and Haley had gone swimming. The sight of her in her bathing suit, her skin shiny and slick with water...that had definitely been fueling his fantasies about her for a while now, even more so since they had exchanged those three words not long afterwards. His eyes were still focused on her face, her lips to be precise, but he couldn’t hear a word of what she was saying. He kept wondering how difficult it’d be to convince her to spend the night at his place where they could take another dip in the complex’s pool when no one else was around.
Somehow he didn’t think it’d be all that hard, pardon the pun. Now that their relationship was moving even further along, something he was enjoying immensely, he had a feel—
“Hey, are you even listening to me?” Her voice cut into his thoughts.
“Huh? Yeah...yeah, of course I am.”
“Okay, what did I just say?”
Crap! “Uh, you suggested swimming as a hobby.”
“Yeah, like five minutes ago. What did I say after that?”
“I have no idea,” he finally admitted. Seeing she was about to say something in response to his admission, he quickly covered her mouth with his and kissed her long and slow, his tongue sliding between her lips to tangle wetly with her own.
Haley’s fingers threaded through Nathan’s thick dark hair, holding him in place as he shifted his position so he was now lying on top of her. His hand cupped her cheek before moving further south to push away the collar of her shirt so he had unrestricted access to the slender column of her neck which he began kissing his way down a few moments later. The tiny gasps and mewls emanating from her were seriously turning him on as was the feel of her blunt fingernails raking across his scalp and down the back of his neck.
When the need for air became too strong to ignore, he reluctantly pulled back from her, pushing himself up slightly and bearing the weight on his forearms. His eyes hungrily took in the sight of her kiss-swollen lips, her rich, auburn hair which was fanned out across her pillow and the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed in and out, trying to get it back under control. God, she was beautiful!
Once she’d caught her breath, Haley giggled as she idly toyed with the short hairs at the nape of his neck.
“What’cha laughing at?”
“Nothing. It’s just...I think I understand now what you meant before...you know, about me being your hobby.”
“Yeah, and what do you think about that?”
“If it means we get to hang out and make-out like that all the time? I’m more than okay to be your hobby but...”
“But?”
“But only if you get to be mine in return.”
Nathan gave her the smile that he reserved solely for her. “Oh, I’m more than fine with that.”
Lowering his body onto hers once more, he nuzzled his nose against hers before finding her lips again and losing himself in the taste and feel of her.
And to think he’d always considered hobbies to be overrated. Who knew!?
