Chapter 21
Nathan's POV
We won our first game but I wasn't really happy. It's been three weeks since I saw Haley; I know she's busy with her upcoming wedding. Lucas didn't say much about her when he arrived a few days after I left New York.
All he told me was that she war alright and that she and Chris made up. I'm happy that Haley finally got what she wanted, a life without me.
I heard Haley was also busy launching a new car in the market. I read a magazine write up about her, she was glowing in the pictures.
"Scott, come out here and meet our new sponsors"
Another executive to suck up to…but hey its all part of the job isn't it? I walked out of the locker room and into the court. I saw a petite brown haired girl in a suit talking to Lucas. I saw Coach beckoning me and when I reached his side he tapped the girl on the shoulder and said "Ms. James, meet the other Scott on the team. Nathan meet Haley James president and founder of HJ Motors"
"It's nice to meet you Nathan" she smiled up to me. I knew she was teasing me and I decided to play along
"It's nice to meet you too Ms. James"
She turned her back to me when some of the other players on the team were introduced to her. Some of the guys openly flirted with her, some just gaped at her beauty.
I wasn't particularly happy with what I'm seeing so I went up to Lucas to talk in order to distract myself from what was happening.
"So she looks good"
"She recovered pretty well, not even a scar can be noticed"
It seems as if Haley sensed we were talking about her. She motioned for us to come and we did. She first talked to Lucas and I heard her ask him out to dinner. This was odd since I thought Haley would be giving Lucas an invitation to her wedding instead she asked if I could walk her to her car. I gave my consent and escorted her to the parking lot.
"You look good Haley. How's everyone in New York?"
"They're all okay. Peyton and Jake are finally getting married and you're invited by the way"
"Wow a double wedding right?"
Her eyebrow rose and asked "Double wedding?"
"Yeah you and Peyton"
"Peyton and I aren't getting married!"
I gave a little laugh and answered "You and Chris…"
She opened her car door and went in. she rolled down her window and said "Chris and I aren't getting married"
I was about to say something when I heard her turn on the engine, she turned to me and "Would you like to go out for dinner tomorrow night Nate?"
I wasn't really sure if I heard her right so I echoed "Dinner?"
"Yup, pick me up by seven okay?"
With that she left leaving me looking bewildered and happy at the same time. Does this mean she's giving me another chance?
"Wait she's not getting married" I exclaimed louder than I thought for some people on the parking lot noticed. I must have looked goofy because some of them were laughing. I couldn't care less I was too happy about what happened.
