Chapter Three
The week had gone by too fast for their liking. With all the work they had been doing and all the things they had been doing together made everything go by faster. After packing all of their things up they got ready to head to the airport.
"I don't wanna go home, I wanna spend more time alone with you." Haley said hugging Nathan.
"Neither do I, but we have to."
"This is the one thing I hate about these things because we always have to home and back to reality."
"I know same here, but if we don't leave now we will miss out plane and that will cause Sarah to call and go crazy and I really don't want to hear that."
After getting to the airport and boarding the plane they had a little fun before the plane landed. When they got back to Tree Hill Nathan dropped Haley off at home before heading home himself.
"Ya know Nate; I was thinking Haley hasn't had a boyfriend in a while." Sarah said as she and Nathan were sitting down watching TV later that night.
"She's gone on dates." Nathan replied, not wanting his Haley on a date with another guy.
"Sure she's gone on dates but she hasn't actually had a boyfriend. I was thinking that we should set her up with someone."
"She won't say yes to this." Nathan replied.
"Yes she will. She won't be able to say no."
"I really don't think you should do this. She isn't going to be happy about this at all"
"Yes she will, she's always happy when Brooke sets her up so she will be happy when I set her up."
"She is never happy when Brooke sets her up, which is the reason why Brooke stopped setting her up." It was true that Brooke had stopped setting her up but it wasn't because Haley didn't like it, it was because Haley was with Nathan.
"Well she'll just have to deal with it. I'm going to call Brian and see if he is doing anything this weekend and ask him if he wants to go out with Haley." Sarah said getting up to go make the phone call.
"Alright well I'm going over to Luke's house." Nathan said getting up and walking out of the house.
"Luke I need you to cover for me, Sarah is going crazy and I need to go talk to Hales." Nathan said into the phone when Luke answered.
"What is she up to now?" Lucas asked.
"She wants to set Haley up with her friend Brian."
"Haley isn't going to like that. How do you feel about that?"
"How do you think I feel about it. I don't want another guy touching my Haley!" Nathan said furiously.
"Alright I'll cover for you. Good luck with Hales."
"Thanks I'm gonna need it." Nathan said hanging up his phone.
"Hales, you here?" Nathan asked as he walked into her apartment.
"Yea Nate, I'm in my room come on back." Haley yelled back.
"I have some bad news Hales."
"What's up Nate?"
"It's Sarah. She's decided that since you haven't had a boyfriend in a while that she is going to set you up with one of her friends Brian."
"No! I'm not going!"
"That's what I told her but she doesn't listen!"
"Nate I don't wanna go on a date with anyone!"
"How do you think I feel? I don't another guy touching you! You're my Hales, not someone else's."
"I don't want to do this."
"I don't want you to go on this date either but Sarah isn't going to take no for an answer."
"Do you think there is anyway I can get out of it? Lemme call Brooke and see if she wants to hang out whenever this date is. "
"Friday."
"What?"
"The date is this Friday."
"I hate her!" Haley said picking up the phone. "Hey Luke is Brooke there?"
"Yea hold on Hales. I'm guessing that Nate told you?"
"He told you?"
"Yea he called asking me to cover for him. He's pissed about it. Here's Brooke."
"Hey Hales, what's up?"
"Are you doing anything this Friday?"
"Yea, Luke and I are going out, we haven't gone out just the two of us in a while." Brooke replied.
"I really hate you right now."
"Why?"
"Sarah is setting me up with her friend Brian and I don't wanna go, he's not Nate." Haley cried.
"I'm so sorry Hales."
"It's ok. Well I got to go. Bye Brooke."
"Bye Hales."
"Hales what's wrong?" Nathan asked as he came into the room finding her crying.
"He's not you." She said crying harder.
"Sh Hales, don't worry we'll get through this."
"I hate her!"
"I know Hales, don't worry." Nathan said as the phone rang.
"Hello?" Haley sighed into the phone.
"Hi Haley, what are you doing this Friday?"
"Nothing that I know of why?" Haley asked knowing what was coming.
"Well I was thinking and I've realized that you haven't had a boyfriend in a while and I was thinking that you would like to go out with my friend Brian. I think that you would really like him."
"I don't think so Sarah, I hate being set up on dates."
"Don't worry Haley, you'll like this guy. He'll meet you at the restaurant on Market Street by the docks at 7:00. Bye Hales." Sarah said hanging up the phone
"I have no choice, I have to go and guess where I am going to meet him at."
"Where?"
"Our restaurant."
"You mean the restaurant on Market Street by the docks?"
"That's the one. I hate her!"
"I just got a phone call from a very pissed off Haley, what the hell did you do Sarah?" Nathan asked
"Well I told her about Brian and that he wanted to go out with her on Friday and that he'll meet her at the restaurant on Market Street by the docks."
"Really and what did she say about this?"
"She said ok and I hung up."
"Really that's not what Haley told me. She told me that you called asked what she was doing Friday and when she said she didn't want to go out with Brian you said she'd really like him and then told her where to go and when and then hung up on her." Nathan replied.
"Well it's not like I'm making her go."
"Yea well you didn't give her much of a choice either. Stop trying to set her up, she can get her own dates."
