Spoilers/Warnings: This is set sometime during Season 1 in the early days of Nathan and Haley’s relationship so as long as you know they’re dating, you’re good.
Summary: Looking into her chocolate brown eyes, he could feel himself getting lost and he almost moaned out loud when her tongue snaked out to lick her lips.

Nathan stared at his textbook, trying his best to concentrate on the words in front of him when, in fact, all he could focus on was Haley sitting beside him, her outer thigh lightly pressing against his. Every time he breathed in his senses filled with the delicate scent of the jasmine perfume she was wearing and it was taking everything in him not to lean over and kiss her.
They’d been dating for a little over a month but already he was falling hard for her and it was definitely a new experience for him. For a start, there was none of the drama that had consumed his last relationship, if you could even call it a relationship considering how dysfunctional it had been. Haley was someone he enjoyed spending time with and he found he could talk to her about anything and everything without her judging, pitying or criticising him and he liked that a lot.
The fact she was gorgeous and had a kickass body under those figure hugging jeans and silkscreen baby tees came in a very close second. Or maybe even joint first. Yeah, joint first it was, he decided a second later when he looked up from his book and saw his girlfriend tuck her auburn hair behind her ear, giving him a better look at her pretty face.
“What?” she asked, her face flushing a rosy pink at his intense stare.
“Nothing.” He could feel the smirk tugging at his lips and he chuckled under his breath.
“Have you finished the questions on the worksheet?”
The smirk faded at her question and he shook his head. “Uh… no, not yet.”
“Why not? You know you just have to say if you’re stuck on anyth—”
“No, it’s not that,” he interrupted.
“Then what is it?”
Looking into her chocolate brown eyes, he could feel himself getting lost and he almost moaned out loud when her tongue snaked out to lick her lips. Without thinking about what he was doing, he swooped in and pressed his mouth against hers, kissing her softly before withdrawing several moments later.
“Nathan…” she whispered breathlessly.
“Sorry,” he replied, although his tone and the grin he was wearing implied that he wasn’t sorry at all.
“You don’t sound very sorry,” she remarked. Glancing behind them, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that nobody else in the library was taking any notice of them.
“I guess that’s ‘cause I’m not.”
“So, why haven’t you finished those questions yet?”
It was Nathan’s turn to blush slightly; something he rarely, if ever, did. “I, uh, guess I was just lost in thought or something,” he mumbled.
Tilting her head to the side, Haley regarded him curiously. “Lost in thought about what?”
“You.”
Her blush was back in full force and her heart was beating double-time. “Oh,” she squeaked.
Cupping her face in his palm, he leaned in and kissed her again; this time slipping his tongue between her lips to playfully tangle with her own. He moved his hand down to her hip, squeezing gently before finding her fingers and intertwining them.
Breaking the kiss, Haley breathed in some much needed air and picking up her notebook, she used it to fan herself. Just a couple of kisses from him and already her temperature was soaring. “We can’t do that here,” she whispered, again looking around to make sure no one was watching them.
“So let’s get out of here,” Nathan suggested.
“But you haven’t finished your worksheet.”
“I’ll do it tonight.”
“Oh. I was thinking maybe we could hang out tonight but if you’d rather do homework…” she trailed off.
“Fine, I’ll finish them now,” he said, picking up his pen and rolling it between his fingers before adding, “You’re such a slave driver, you know that?”
“Yeah, I know,” she teased, leaning forward and popping a kiss onto his pouting lips. “You finish those questions while I go and find a book I need for my History assignment.”
Nathan nodded, his eyes following eagerly as Haley scooted her chair back and began walking away from him, heading towards the stacks at the rear of the library. Damn, his girl had a serious ass on her, he couldn’t help noticing as yet another smirk crept onto his face.
When she disappeared from view, he turned his attention back to his book and before he knew it, he’d managed to finish the remaining questions on his worksheet. Satisfied, he stretched in his chair as he waited for Haley to return. He tapped his fingers impatiently against the table and when another five minutes had passed, he pushed his chair back and followed the direction she had taken.
Hearing the sound of someone using the vending machine in the corner, he turned and smiled when he saw her bending over to grab whatever she’d just bought. Yep, that was one serious ass! “So this is where you’ve been hiding.”
Jumping at suddenly hearing his voice behind her, Haley swivelled around to face him. “I was just grabbing a drink,” she told him, showing him the can of Diet Sprite she was holding. “Do you want anything?”
Instead of answering her, Nathan moved forward, slowly backing her up against the nearest wall. “Yeah,” he whispered huskily, his palms coming up to rest either side of her head, effectively blocking her in.
“Nathan…” Her free hand cupped the back of his head, her fingers threading through his thick, dark hair.
“No one can see us here, Hales,” he murmured. A tiny moan escaped when a second later she took the initiative, leaning forward and fusing her mouth with his, her tongue teasing his lips until he parted them and granted her access.
When the kiss eventually ended long minutes later, they were both breathing heavily; her fingers brushing over the back of his neck while his played with one of the belt loops on her jeans.
“Do you want to go somewhere?” he asked before ducking his head and nuzzling his nose against her neck and breathing in her unique scent.
“Yes,” she half-moaned. “D-Did you finish those problems?”
“Uh huh…”
“Good.”
Reluctantly drawing back from her, he smiled at how her eyes slowly fluttered open and nuzzling their noses together, he dropped another kiss onto her soft, plump lips. “Let’s go get our stuff and get out of here.”
“Okay,” she replied. Grabbing the book she’d been looking for off of the table she’d placed it on while getting her drink, she handed it over to him when he held out his hand and then linking their free hands together, she gave it a little squeeze as he led her back towards their table.
A few minutes later when they’d packed up their things, they left the library and made their way out of the school.
“So, where to?” Nathan asked as he unlocked his car and opened the passenger door for her.
“Um… I don’t mind.”
“We could go to my house.”
“Is your dad going to be there?”
“He’ll probably be back around seven,” he answered.
“Is it okay if I say no?”
He laughed as he nodded. “Yeah, it’s more than okay. How about your place?”
“Sure, if you don’t mind even more teasing from my parents.”
“I don’t mind. I think your parents are cool… cheesy but cool.”
It was Haley’s turn to laugh. “I think “cheesy but cool” just about sums them up,” she said using air quotes.
“Your place, then?”
“Yeah.” Giving him a shy smile, she leaned in and kissed him, her fingers nervously playing with the ends of her hair once she’d retreated.
“Hey, will there be any more of those chocolate chip cookies your mom gave us last time?”
“Unless my Dad’s eaten them all there should be. Actually, I think my Mom may have put some away especially for you. I guess I know the real reason you don’t mind hanging out at my house,” she teased.
Running his thumb along her cheekbone, Nathan smirked. “Believe me, you’re sweeter than any cookie,” he quipped.
Haley scrunched up her face. “Eww! Now who’s being cheesy.”
“I’m still cool though, right?” he said, laughing.
“Nope, I think that line helped rid you of any cool points.”
“Okay, I take it back.”
“It’s too late, buddy.”
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her in flush against his body and lowering his head, he suckled her bottom lip into his mouth and nipped it with his teeth. “I’ll bet I know a way for me to redeem myself.”
Blushing, she looked at him from under her lashes. “Hmm, I’ll bet you do, too,” she whispered.
Her breathy whisper sent all of his blood heading south and he took a deep breath to try and calm himself down. “Are your parents home right now?”
“No,” she told him, her face flushing a darker shade of red than it was already at guessing just where her boyfriend’s thoughts had gone.
“Let’s go,” he said quickly, earning a burst of laughter from her which had him laughing along with her.
“You’re so obvious.”
“Are you complaining?”
She shook her head. “No.”
“Good,” he said, affirming his statement with another kiss.
Haley shook her head as she got into the car and watched him practically run around to the driver’s side. “Could you have run any faster?”
For the second time that day, Nathan felt himself blush and looking over at her, he saw her biting back her laughter. As he started the car and put it into gear, he thought of ways he could get his own back on her; all of them leaving him more than a little hot under the collar. Reaching over, he picked up her hand which was resting in her lap and he laced their fingers together. He’d never really been one for hand-holding but there was something about holding Haley’s hand that he couldn’t seem to get enough of.
He had a feeling that there was going to be a lot about her that he couldn’t get enough of and he couldn’t wait to find out just what those things were.
