Ch. 4
Brooke smirked a little and winked at Nate, "Its like a double date" she laughed a little and nudged Luke as he seemed to stare down Nathan, "Play nice boys" she shook her head and looked at Haley in a sort of sighing typical way 'men'.
Once the were seated in the restaurant Brooke browsed down the menu, the prices were a little steep, but she wasn't particularly one for money troubles. "Dinners on me guys...order what you like" she winked and smiled, she loved being in control.
She decided on an Italian dish and ordered a bottle of red and white wine, so all were catered for. Her and Luke were playing footsie under the table as discussions started, her foot moving higher up his leg and thigh.
"So, you boys ready for the season...our team is so solid this year" she said a little excited, she knew she was going to have to cheer her ass off this season, she looked at Haley a little, she looked uncomfortable, she leant over and whispered, "Loosen up girlie...you're with friends" she winked and smiled before turning back, and sitting back in her chair, Luke had his arm around her and he kissed her head as her and Nathan were talking about the season.
The waiter came over with the wine and glasses, offering them all a glass, "Red please" Brooke smiled and slid him all their fake ids, "Red as well" Luke answered and the waiter poured their glasses before taking their orders, Brooke had the Rigatoni alla norma and Luke just had steak.
Haley gave a nervous smile as they were seated, her leg bounced nervously under the table. Nathan but a hand on her upper leg stilling the movement, Haley could feel her heart race at Nathan's intimate touch.
Breathe Haley she told herself as she read the menu.
Just breathe.
Someone had filled the glass in front of it and she gulped half of it down to calm her nerves. She looked up to see their party staring at her. "What?"
"Haley..." Nathan said. "You feeling okay?"
"Fine..." she said quickly.
"Honey...you just gulped a glass of red wine down like I drink Gatorade...and you hate red wine. Your mom said so," Nathan said, looking to Lucas for back up, he was Haley's best friend and had to know that Haley was acting out of normal.
Haley hid behind her menu; she could taste the wine and wished she hadn't gulped it. She had never been big on drinking and in this weekend, she was drinking like a fish.
Luke looked at Haley curiously, "Seriously Hales...I've never known you to drink, at least in the vast quantity you seem to of this weekend" he frowned a little and nudged Brooke for back-up, she seemed to be in her own world...and bit her lip a little before she eventually snapped out of it.
"Huh?" she looked over at Luke and he laughed a little. When it eventually clicked as to what they were talking about...Brooke did the sensible thing for a change, "I think you should stick to water tutor girl" she nodded a little and laughed before sliding Haley's drink away from her, and moving the jug of water in to her reach.
Luke smiled and put his hand on Brooke's shoulder before kissing her lightly on the lips and then moving back to his seat, and nodded to Nate in a sort of thanking way.
Haley didn't say anything from behind her menu, embarrassed by her behavior and actions. Her cheeks stained red and it wasn't just from the wine.
Deep Breaths Haley, Deep Breaths... she chanted quietly to herself.
Nathan placed his and Haley's orders with the waiter knowing Haley was off in her own little world trying to calm herself down from a nervous breakdown.
Her hands were shaking and through she tried to still them her menu shook slightly. So she slapped it down on the table.
"Haley?" Nathan asked cautiously having never seen his girlfriend? his mind piped in, like this. He looked to Luke for help again, signs of worry crossing his face.
"Haley?"
"I can't do this..." Haley blurted out, she was shaking slightly and on the verge of a panic attack. "I can't do this...I'm so sorry Brooke, Luke...Nate..."
She got up from the table and practically ran out of the restaurant. Nathan was in shock and momentarily dazed by what had just happened.
"Uh...what just happened?" he asked knowing he should get up and go after her. "Luke...has Haley ever done this before?"
