Chapter Ten: Picture Perfect
"Hales! Hales wait up!"
Haley turns around to the sound of Brooke's voice. She laughs as she sees Brooke running towards her, lunch tray in hand, in four-inch heels.
"God your fast for a person with short legs" Brooke tells Haley after she gets her breath back.
Ignoring her friends comment, "what were you wanting?" Haley asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh yeah. Well I was thinking." Brooke links arms with Haley.
"That's never a good thing" Haley mutters and laughs when Brooke nudges her in the side lightly.
"I was thinking, that we haven't had any Baley time lately. Either we're doing the assignment with Nathan or Lucas, or we're busy"
"Brooke we hung out just a couple days ago" Haley tells the green-eyed girl as they both sit down at a table.
"Yeah, I know, but I meant just me and you, no Connor, or Jake or Chris. Even though I love them with all my heart and I can never get enough of my godson," she smiles widely thinking about the chubby cheeked little boy. "I swear that boy's gonna be a heart breaker when he's older"
"Well that might be hard since he's not dating until he's thirty"
Brooke laughs while taking a bite from her sandwich, "so after school today. You, me and the mall. And Connor's birthdays coming up, so we could have a look for presents."
"Sounds good" Haley smiles. "So how's the project going with you and Lucas?"
Brookes smile doubles in size at the mention of the blue-eyed boy. "Really good. I mean Lucas is, he's just so different to all the other guys at this school. Like, you know when I'm with you I can act myself?" Haley nods, "I can act myself around him too, like he see's the real me"
Haley grins, "you so like him"
"What like you like Nathan?"
"I do not like Nathan" Haley disagrees before taking a sip of her orange juice.
"Suuuuure ya don't" Brooke drawls, a wicked smile on her face.
…
It's the end of the school day, and Haley's driving home. She and Brooke had decided that Haley would pick Brooke up about 4o'clock so they had time to go home and get changed then they'd head to the mall. As she drove past the post office she noticed the tall boy that had been consuming her thoughts since Saturday night. Haley pulled the car over and rolled down the passenger window.
"Hey" she smiled leaning over the to get a better view.
Nathan looked down and smiled when he sae her, "hey"
"So are you going home?"
"No, actually I was just heading to the river court"
"Wana ride?" Haley kinked her eyebrow.
"It's actually not that far, and I could use the exercise" Nathan smirks.
"Yeah right. Get in," she pulled the handle to open the door for him.
"Thanks Hales" he smiles and shuts the car door.
"No problem," she sends him a quick glance before facing the road again, "so I was thinking. Do you wana do the assignment on Saturday night at yours?"
"Sure, about eight-ish?" Haley smiles and nods just as they reach the river court.
"Have fun!" She calls out.
"I will" Nathan sends her a toothy smile and Haley has a dreamy grin on her face the whole way home.
…
"Move that gorgeous behind of yours B Davis!" Haley shouts out the car window as Brooke walks over to her car. "What do you have in there, boulders?"
Brooke smiles sarcastically and holds up her bag, "no, I have things. A lot of things. Smile!" Brooke holds up a digital camera and snaps a photo.
"Brooke!" Haley shouts, the car swerving a bit, her eyes still recovering from the blinding flash. "Right back at ya buddy!" Haley shouts as a guy flips her off.
"I want to remember this day, so we're taking lots and lots of pictures" Brooke sends her a cheeky grin and Haley lets out a breathy laugh. What have I got myself into?
…
"What about this?"
"Too sparkly"
"Really?" Brooke turns to look at the full-length mirror and nods, "yeah, you're right" she turns to her friend. "Not enough skin," Brooke tells her friend as Haley shows her the blue top she'd been trying on. They both go back into the changing rooms.
"So, when are you and Lucas meeting up for the assignment?" Haley asks as she takes off her top.
"A few hours" Brooke says, and Haley can just see the grin on her face. "What about you and Nathan?" She asks while putting on a pair of jeans.
"Friday" Haley replies. Both girls come out of the dressing room and start to laugh. "Dude that is so creepy!" she laughs.
"I know right?" Both girls have on a pair of hip hugger jeans and a deep pink coloured lace top. "We're have like twin telepathy or something," she laughs. "We have to get a photo" she rakes about in her bag before taking out the silver devise.
"Aha!"
Brooke sets the camera on shelf and sets it to ten seconds before running back over to stand beside Haley. They stand back to back in the 'Charlie's Angels' pose. The flash goes off and Brooke runs back over. She smiles widely at Haley, "I love this photo, we need to get more" she laughs then runs back into the dressing room.
…
"Why don't I get him this?"
"Brooke that's for five year olds, he's only turning two" Haley smiles amused by her friends pout.
"But he is wise beyond his years" she tries but Haley shakes her head, she sighs, "fine I'll just get it for him when he turns four" she smiles proud of herself and hopes off into another direction.
Haley goes after her. "Aww, Hales look at this. It is too cute!" Brooke squeals holding up a Winnie the pooh bear, "look it crawls along the floor" she says, "I think I'll get him this."
Haley shakes her head laughing softly, "get him whatever you want Brookie"
Brooke claps her hands excitedly, a huge dimpled grin on her face. She embraced Haley in a tight, quick hug then ran off down an isle. Haley laughed softly watching her friends retreating figure.
…
"You have fun today?" Brooke asks as she puts a French fry in her mouth.
Haley smiles, mouth full of food, she nods her head "Yep"
"Me too" Brooke takes a sip of her coke, "too secs" she says when she hears her phone ring.
"Hello?" she answers.
"Hey Brooke""Lucas, hey"
"Hey so I was just wondering if we're still meeting up tonight?""Corse, about seven okay?"
"Sounds good pretty girl. See you then""Bye broody" they both hang up and Brooke takes her bottom lip between her teeth.
"Broody boy?" Haley asks her tongue sticking out to the side in-between her teeth.
"Mmhmm, we're meeting up soon" Brooke's eyes widen, "oh my god! I have to get ready, I have to get ready!" Brooke stands up, taking her bags and pulls Haley to her feet, "come on tutor girl" she grabs her hand and pulls her out of the store with her.
…
"This Friday, I can't come to movie night"
"What?" Haley asks both eyebrows raised, a frown forming on her delicate features. Lying on her back on Brookes bed, she props herself up on her elbows.
"Yeah, the one time my parents even notice I'm alive" Brooke tries to brush it off likes it's nothing but Haley can see the sadness in her eyes, as she brushes her hair.
"So I can't make it but you'll still have Cake to keep you company" Brooke smirks placing a dangly earring in her ear lobe.
"Yeah, and if they start acting like babies I have CJ" Haley smiles and Brooke nods cheerfully.
"So how do I look?" Brooke turns around to face her Haley. Brooke wearing a long dark lacy top, with dark hip hugger jeans and black pumps. Her eyes are smokey and she has dark lip-gloss on her lips. Dangly black earrings in her ears and a matching necklace.
"Absolutely gorgeous" Haley says in a funny accent, "that boy isn't going to know what hit him."
Brooke squeals and claps her hands excitedly, "okay so you know where everything is and I'll be back soon"
"Take as long as you want Cookie, I'll be here when you get home" Haley's going to stay at Brooke's tonight, but she's going to pick up Connor in a little while. "Now go have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do"
"Well that doesn't leave a lot then does it?" Brooke smiles cheekily and laughs when Haley throws a pillow at her. "I'll be home soon, love you H. James" Brooke says as she starts walking towards the door.
"You too B. Davis" Haley smiles as Brooke gives her a quick wink before she turns round the corner and out of sight.
Haley picked up the remote beside the bed and switched on the TV and smiles as she saw Supernatural was on. What a perfect night. Me myself and I and the Winchester boys.
…
You'll be fine, he's just a boy. Brooke thought to herself, trying to calm her nerves. But he's not though, he's Lucas Scott. Brooke closed her eyes and breathed in as she walked up to the Scott's front door. She brought her hand up and knocked on the hard wood.
A few seconds later Lucas came to the door looking like he'd just been for a five mile run. "Hey Brooke" he smiled.
"Hey Luke" Brooke smiles shyly, wait a minute. Brooke Davis does not get shy in front of a guy.
"Come in come in" he stepped aside so she could come in. "You want anything to drink or eat?" Lucas asked moving into the kitchen, Brooke close behind him.
"Soda?"
Lucas nodded is head before taking two cans from the fridge. "So what activity you wana do?" he asked as they both sat down at the kitchen table.
"I was thinking maybe the movie one? And you can choose one as well?" she asks taking a sip from her soda.
"Okay. We have some movies I'll just go see if we have any chick flicks" Lucas said teasingly to Brooke and she swatted him playfully in the arm. As she watched him walk away she sighed, her heart finally beating normally again. I'm falling hard.
…
"Oh god" Haley brought her pillow up to her face as she watched TV screen. They were showing re runs of Supernatural season one, and tonight was 'Bloody Mary' Haley watched as Mary's reflection was in the mirror and god, it creeped her out. She jumped as she heard a knock at the door.
She skidded down the hall in her fluffy white slippers, and opened the door a smile on her face as she saw who it was.
"Peyton"
"Hey Hales, is Brooke here?" Peyton questioned,
"She actually went to Lucas' for the assignment"
"Oh, okay I guess I can come back" the curly blonde started to turn around.
"You should stay, keep me company" Haley smiled and Peyton returns the gesture, "and besides, this episode of Supernatural really creeps me out" Peyton chuckles and steps inside.
Both girls go through to the living room and sit on the couch. Half an hour later the girls are still in the same positions, but now have crisp and sweetie papers around them and a few empty cans of soda. Haley and Peyton start laughing as Viola punches Duke in the shoulder and says 'be a man, rub some dirt in it'
"I love that line" Peyton says wiping her eyes as the laughter dies down.
"Me too, it's classic"
…
"So Mr Broody, you having fun with me?" Brooke turns around to look at Lucas as the end credits role in on the TV screen.
Lucas presses the 'Off' button on the remote and turn to face Brooke, "I don't know, you did hit me…"
Brooke gasps, "that was only because you insulted the movie I picked"
"It's a total chick flick"
"You had it"
"No it's my mam's" Lucas smirks.
"Sure it is" Brooke drawls, a smile playing on her lips, "and, 'Beaches' is a total classic"
"But she dies at the end"
"That's the whole point, it shows how she would do anything for her friend even though they fell out, don't talk to each other, you know all that"
"Kinda like you and Haley then" Lucas says with a smile, knowing that Brooke was thinking of the smaller girl while she said that.
Brooke nods, "yeah, me and Hales" she almost whispers.
"Brooke are you okay?" Lucas asks noticing Brooke getting a bit teary-eyed.
She nods her head wiping her eyes quickly, "I'm fine" a Brooke Davis dimpled smile planted firmly back on her face.
Lucas nods not fully convinced, "whatever you say pretty girl"
…
"I feel like we haven't hung out in ages" Peyton says as her and Haley sit across from each other on the couch.
"Maybe cos we haven't" Haley laughs when Peyton sticks her tongue out at her and she does the same.
"Ha.Ha Smartass. I just ment it was nice" Peyton smiled and Haley nodded in agreement. "Well I gotta go but we have to do this again soon kay?"
"Defiantly" Haley smiles, "See ya P. Sawyer!" she shouts as Peyton walks to her car.
"Cya Hales!" Peyton shouts with a wave, getting in her car. And she drives off down the road, Fall Out Boy blasting from the stereo.
Haley walks back into the kitchen and grabs her car keys. She suddenly gets a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach and wants, no needs to pick up Connor. Putting her jacket on over her PJ's and not bothering to change into her trainers and jumps in her car, speeding off down the road.
She smiles as she hears her mam's high pitch singing as she walks into her house.
'R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me…"
Haley laughs softly as her mam bobs about the kitchen, Connor bouncing about in his high chair watching his Gran. Then when his little brown eyes meet the identical ones of his mothers he starts to squeal and bounce even more. "Mama!" Lydia turns around smiling as she notices her daughter for the first time since she's entered the house.
"Hey honey"
"Hey ma" she kisses her mam's cheek then walks over to Connor, "and how's my big boy? You're my big boy, yes you are" Haley coo's as she picks Connor out of the high chair and into her arms.
"He's doing a lot better now" Lydia smiles drying her hands on a tea towel.
"Good" Haley lets out a sigh of relief, "he hasn't had a fever or anything?" She asks as she rubs his head.
"Nope, he did throw up on me a little bit, but other than that good as gold. So how's Brooke's date going?"
"It's not a date mam, it's an assignment. And how should I know? I'm not on the da-assignment with her" Haley asks as they sit on the couch, Connor bouncing on Haley's knee.
"I don't know, you're her best friend, you should know."
"And how should I know?"
"Sometimes I swear the pair of yous have mind powers" Lydia laughs standing up, "well I have to get back, these dishes aren't going to wash themselves. If only your cheep skate of a father would buy me a washing mashing" Lydia sigh, "have fun tonight sweetie, I love both of yous!" Lydia shouts as she walks into the kitchen.
"Night ma, we love you!" Haley shouts as she and Connor walk back outside and Haley straps Connor in his car seat. She puts her and Connor's over night bags on the passenger seat, "We're going to Aunty Brooke's house baby"
"An'y Book! An'y Book!" Connor giggles excitedly.
"That's right baby, Aunty Brooke" Haley smiles, knowing how proud Brooke would be of Connor.
…
"I had fun tonight Luke"
"Me too"
"So I'll see you tomorrow in school" Brooke smiles and kisses Lucas' cheek. She sends him a sexy wink and then walks back to her house, a smile planted on her face the whole way.
…
"Whose the birthday boy? In a couple weeks you are" Haley smiles as Connor giggles.
Just then she hears the door open and close. In walks Brooke, a pleased smile on her face, she sits down beside Haley on the couch and lets out a sigh and lays her head on Haley's shoulder.
"So, I tae it tonight went well?" Haley asks nudging Brooke playfully in the side.
"So well"
"Good, you deserve to be happy Brooke."
"I am happy. I mean I have the best friends, a sexy soon going to mine Lucas Scott and the best godson in the whole wide world" Brooke grins and goes onto the floor to sit with Connor as he plays with his car.
Haley giggles as Brooke starts making 'vroom, vroom' noises and plays with Connor. Brooke's right, they have great, no the best friends, she has a great son, and then there's Nathan. Haley smiles as the blue-eyed boy pops into her head. The way her stomach gets a fluttery feeling whenever she notices him staring at her in class, or how good he is with Connor.
And with that last thought Haley decides, I'll tell him.
Hope you enjoyed :D and please leave me some love :P Love yas X
