Chapter 2- A Jog in the park

Haley walked into her apartment after a hard day of work and promptly plopped herself on the couch. She was tired, all she wanted to do was take a nice warm bath and go to bed. Unfortunately this wasn't going to happen right away. Haley quickly heard some whimpering and scratching coming form her front door.

"Oh Max!!! Can't you just hold it for once?" The dog quickly looked at Haley and went back to his whimpering

"I guess not, alright alright, I guess a little jog in the park wouldn't be that bad. Just give me a few a seconds and I'll be right back to take you out." Haley quickly made her way to the bedroom to change into her jogging gear. "Alright Boy let's go." Haley placed the leash on Max and made her way to the park.

The park was really beautiful at this time of day. It was right at the time where the sun was just starting to set and the sky was filled with orange and pink colors. Haley was definitely grateful for Max's need for a walk because this definitely was a sight to see. Her surroundings were just so calming and relaxing. That was however until he saw him.

The same guy she had seen in the coffee shop earlier this morning was jogging in the opposite direction of her at the same park. And he looked just a perfect as he did when he first saw him. This time, however she was able to view more of his physique and what a physique it was. His arms were muscular but not too muscular, they were very well defined. Oh and she could definitely tell that he had abs through the shirt that had been clinging to his body as a result of the sweat that he had developed. All Haley could do was stare and wish she could lick the sweat right off of him.

Haley smiled in his direction in hopes that she would get his attention but no such luck. He jogged right pass her, not even giving a quick glance in her direction. Haley's face quickly dropped and the peacefulness that she experienced in he beginning of her jog had disappeared and turned into frustration and irritation.

"Ok Max I think it's time for us to head home." Haley told her dog with very little expression.

As soon as Haley entered her apartment she ran right to her phone to call Brooke.

"hello." Brooke said on the other line.

"Brooke, guess what?"

"What?"

"I saw him!"

"Saw who?"

"The guy from the coffee shop, you know Mr. tall, dark and handsome."

"Haley, I thought we ruled him out, remember the girl?"

"Yah but I was thinking about it and maybe your right and that was his sister or something. I mean they did kind of look like, kind of."

"Ok Haley, let's try to think rational for a second. First of all you don't even know the guy, heck you don't even know his name. How do you expect to get him when you don't know that simple information?"

"Well I know where he goes to get coffee and I know where he jogs and what time. All I need is a couple of chance meetings where he actually notices me and everything will be great. I can feel it Brooke. This guy is special, I just know it."

"Haley, you know I love you right? But right now you're sounding really crazy. I know how you are, you put all of your energy in one guy and you end up getting disappointed. I just don't want you to get hurt again."

"Brooke I appreciate your concern but I promise you I'm going to let fate take care of this, with just a little help on my part. Everything will be fine."

"I hope so, well I have to get going, tell my baby I said hi and be careful Haley."

"I will don't worry, I'll talk to you later." With that Haley hung up the phone.

"Alright Max, Brooke said Hi." Max wagged his tail happily.

"You know you are just so damn lovable, I can understand why everyone just falls in love with you when they first meet you."

With that a light bulb went on in Haley's head. "That's it!!" She said to herself. "Max!"
