It had now been about a month since her father's funeral. Her relationship with Nathan was growing stronger with each day. They had now been seeing each other for about four months, but had known each other for about six. For the first time in her life, she felt wanted. She didn't have to change herself for him because Nathan loved her for who she is.

It was the end of school and Haley was bringing Mallory to the café. Her and Mallory had become really attached these past couple of days. She walked into the café when Brooke spotted them. "Yay! I'm glad you're finally here!" she said.

"Why? What's going on?" Haley asked.

"Well it seems Mal and I have to get you ready for a date tonight. I don't know many details, so don't ask me. All I was told is that I needed to have you ready by six," Brooke replied.

"Nate didn't tell me anything about this earlier. What brought this on?" she wondered.

"Who knows," Brooke said, "but we've got work to do." Brooke led Mallory and Haley out to her car before driving over to Nathan's.

It was getting close to six and the girls were all upstairs. Brooke had picked out a pair of dark low rise jeans that fit Haley's curves just right, along with a dark green halter. Brooke was in the process of applying her makeup. "I have to say Hales, you look amazing," Brooke said while applying some eye shadow.

"I agree," Mallory responded watching the two girls.

"Well I couldn't have done this without you two. I wonder what Nate has planned," Haley said aloud.

"Either way, I'm sure someone's going to be getting lucky tonight," Brooke joked finishing up the last part of her makeup.

"Brooke," Haley warned, "don't go there."

"I'm just saying Nathan's jaw is going to drop when he sees you. By the way, Mal is staying with Luke and me tonight," Brooke added.

Haley was about to ask why when there was a knock on the door. Brooke turned towards Mallory and said, "Go tell Nate that his date will be down in a second."

Mallory ran downstairs and opened the door to find Nathan standing there holding flowers. She smiled before saying, "Mommy will be down in just a second, daddy. She looks really pretty too."

Nathan grinned before picking up his daughter and asking, "So did you help Brooke?"

"Yep and Brooke says you'll get lucky tonight, but I don't know what that means," she said confused.

"I think you shouldn't repeat everything that comes out of Brooke's mouth sweetheart. She'll get you into trouble if you're not careful," he replied with a laugh.

Brooke was coming down the stairs when she yelled, "Well Hales, it's time to come down now."

Haley slowly made her way downstairs and Nathan glanced up at her. He couldn't believe his eyes. She had always been attractive in his eyes, but this was more than that. She looks amazing, he thought, and I would love to get lucky tonight. He threw out that idea because tonight wasn't about that for him.

"Wow," Nathan finally said.

Haley blushed as she made her way towards him. "I told you daddy," Mallory added.

"Yea sweetheart you did. Hales, you look breathtaking," he said giving her a quick kiss.

"Well it looks like my job is done. Hope you guys have fun tonight and don't do anything I wouldn't do," Brooke joked.

"Like get lucky," Mallory said.

Haley and Nathan broke out in laughter as Nathan said, "It seems you've been teaching my daughter bad things."

"Mal, I think it's time to go before we get in trouble," Brooke responded taking her hand and gesturing bye to the two.

After they left Nathan said, "So are you ready to go?"

"Let me put these flowers in water first and then we can leave," Haley replied motioning towards the flowers he had given her a few minutes before.

They were now standing in front of the café when Nathan said, "Close your eyes."

Haley did as she was told and closed her eyes before Nathan led her inside. "When can I open my eyes?" she asked.

"Right about now," he replied.

She slowly opened her eyes and couldn't believe her surroundings. The café was decorated with lights and in the center of the room a table was set up with a candle and two covered dishes.

"Nate…" she began.

"I knew you would like it. Luke helped me set it up and my mom of course cooked the food since you know I suck at cooking," he said with a smile.

"It's beautiful. I don't know what to say," she replied.

"You don't have to say anything. Tonight is all about you, Hales. I wanted to show you how much you truly mean to me. You ready to eat?" he wondered.

"Yea, do I even have to ask what Karen cooked," she grinned.

"Only your favorite dish," he added.

The two sat down and ate in silence with little talking. It was rather peaceful to both of them. Things had been so crazy with school and work that they hadn't really had a lot of alone time. Tonight was definitely making up for it though.
