Chapter Ten

The group sat down in a booth, which was in a 'C' shape. The order of seating went, Julian, Brooke, Haley, Nathan, Peyton and Lucas. After a couple of minutes the waiter came over and gave them their menus."Wow, how lucky am I to get to serve three foxy ladies?" He said with a creepy smirk, that made Lucas's and Julian's arms instinctively go around Brooke and Peyton, telling the waiter that the girls are taken and if they dare mess with them they will get a punch in the face. Nathan desperately wanted to put his arm around Haley but was worried that she would shrug him off; the waiter clearly got the message about Brooke and Peyton, but of course Haley wasn't so lucky. He leaned off the table looking like he wanted Haley to shake his hand, but at the last moment he grabbed the hand and kissed it, Haley looked disgusted as did the others, Nathan looked like he was going to throw up. "The names Chris Keller, so how about me, you upstairs, beautiful."

"Not even in your dreams," Haley said with an even more disgusted look on her face.

"Can, you leave us alone while we decide what to order, please?" Lucas asked, hoping this Chris Keller guy would get the message; and fortunately he did and left the table.

"He's such a creep," Brooke shuddered.

"At least he didn't kiss your hand," Haley said. The group decided what they wanted to order and there was little time before Chris came back.

"So ladies first, " he said with a weird smirk.

"Burger and chips," Peyton said as the others reeled off with what they wanted.

"Be back in minute, I'm sure you'll miss Chris Keller," He said as he walked over to the counter.

"What kind of weirdo, talks about themselves, in third person?" Julian said.

"Chris Keller, apparently," Haley said. The group changed the conversation, and pretty soon Chris arrived with their food.

"There you go fine ladies, so where are you three beautiful ladies from?" Chris asked.

"North Carolina," Peyton answered, hoping that he would leave them alone now, but of course he didn't.

"So what brings you ladies to my neck of the woods?" Chris asked.

"We're road-tripping down to California," Haley answered, "and if you don't mind, we would like to eat in peace," Haley gave him a glare to prove
her point.

"Chris Keller can take a hint," he said holding his hands up in the air with mock surrender and turning back towards the counter, the group enjoyed the dinner, chatting about whatever came into the minds, they soon finished and decided to get the bill.

"Can we have the bill, please?" Brooke asked, and for once Chris just nodded in reply. Chris handed her the bill, and Brooke rummaged in her bag, but could not find her purse, she realised she must have left it in the car, as she was so busy thinking about Julian "I'm just going to pop outside to
get my card, be back in a minute."

"Sorry sexy, but you can't leave the premise, until you've paid," Chris told her.

"Look my friends will still be here, it's no problem, "Brooke said turning to leave.

"If you leave, I'll call the cops," Chris said still with the creepy smirk on his face.

"Fine have you lot got any money on you?" She asked the others, they rummaged around in their bags and jackets but produced next to nothing.

"Sorry Brooke, we thought you were going to pay," Peyton said.

"Yeah so did I, at least my parents are good for something." Brooke said.

"You know the other means of paying," Chris said with a smirk. Was he really, no he couldn't be, Haley thought. She decided that something need
to be down, she got up and stood really close to him, while biting her lips, she started stroking this arm, and whispering things in his ear, and finally she kissed him on the cheek.

"Now you're not really going to make us pay, are you?" Haley asked.

"Of course not you can have it for free," Chris stuttered.

"Thank you," Haley said signalling for the group to leave.

"Wow Hales that was good!" Brooke said with a smirk

"You have definitely been spending too much time with Brooke," Peyton said smiling. They got in the car continuing the road trip with Haley and
Nathan sitting in the two front seats. Haley, Brooke and Peyton were chatting and laughing.

"Concentrate on the road," Nathan said.

"I am," Haley said not wanting to get annoyed to quickly and ruin their new found friendship.

"No you are not!" Nathan said.

"Yes I am, and I remember correctly you the one who crashed, so should you really be critising my driving skills," Haley said, the car fell silent.

"Look, you have no right," Nathan said.

"If you can moan about my driving skills, then I can moan about yours!" Haley shouted.

"At least I don't flirt with guys, just so I don't have to pay a bill," Nathan shouted.

"Oh you just flirt with them in general then Nate?" Brooke asked, trying to turn the argument around. Unsurprisingly, Nathan ignored her.

"He was going to call the cops, I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend the night in jail, and anyway why do you care if I flirt with other guys?" Haley asked, getting red in the face with anger. She wasn't about to let him away with this. What, did he think he owned her or something?

"Because I love you!" Nathan roared, the car once again feel silent.

Hey so please review, I always like to know what the you think and sorry for the cliffhanger, I just thought that was a good place to leave it.
