Chapter 24
Haley's POV
The blonde screamed and screamed. It was kinda funny the way I could almost see her tonsils. I turned to Nathan to ask again who that woman is. But his face looked so blank and bewildered I knew he had no idea who this woman really is.
"You told me you had stuff to do so I let you off the hook and now…now I see you dating this….this midget"
"Midget? Do you even know who you're talking to?" Damn this woman is really gonna get it.
I heard Nathan clear his throat and say "Clarisse?"
"You know her?" I asked outraged. So what the woman must be jabbering about was all true. She and Nathan must have a date tonight.
"I…uh…Sort of..Look I don't really know"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Nathan set up two dates on the same night.
"Wow, you move on really fast don't you Nate?" I left the two of them to deal with whatever problems they had.
I knew this was a mistake…trying to work things out with Nathan. I felt a hand grab my arm, it wasn't Nathan's so I assumed it was that blonde bimbo girl
"Don't you dare walk away from me bitch"
I looked at her, not bothered one bit. I could see two of my bodyguards already closing in on us and I held my hands up to stop them. I saw Nathan out of the corner of my eye, and I could see the helplessness in him. He didn't know what to do.
"What do you want?"
"I want you to stay away from my boyfriend"
I laughed at this…Boy, is this girl gonna get it. I moved away from her again and Nathan followed me.
"Hales, I really don't know her. I don't even know what she's talking about"
"It's okay Nate. Let's just go"
The woman still kept yelling and some customers were already noticing the chaos she made. Some photographers were already snapping pictures.
"Great" I heard Nathan mutter under his breath.
I felt that hands on my arms again only this time it was more aggressive. Clarisse jerked me backwards and turned me around to face her.
"Stay away from my boyfriend, you midget bitch!"
I so wanted to kick this girl's butt, I felt Nathan pull me against him.
"Look Clarisse…or who ever you are…I'm sorry I don't really remember who you are. And….well, I'm not your boyfriend."
The woman just ignored Nathan and pulled me away from him. Now this was getting silly and utterly frustrating. They're treating me like some rag doll.
"Look, Ms. Demented. I'm not stealing anything from you okay? I mean it's not stealing when you've owned something from the very start right?"
"Your point is?" the bimbo asked.
"Seeing as the only magazines you read are those provided by your breast implant surgeon, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Haley James."
The bimbo still could not see my point. God! Her brain must have evaporated with all the appointments she's had with her surgeon.
"I'm Haley James, CEO and President of HJ Motors"
"So you're rich why should I care? That still doesn't change the fact that you're a snake"
I looked at Nathan and all the photographers that were nearby. Am I really doing this? This could destroy me.
I took a deep breath before saying "I'm Haley James Scott"
The bimbo's mouth fell open and she couldn't speak. Her face was so red and I heard laughter in the background. I saw that our 'audience' were laughing at her and hooting for me.
Nathan guided me to his waiting car and I heard the valet tell him that
"You're wife is a real looker Mr. Scott"
When we were inside the car Nathan kept tapping the wheel of his car.
I moved my hand to stop it. He looked at me and smiled.
"Is it true Hales? We're still married?"
I turned my face away from him and looked outside the window. I was embarrassed.
"Hales, you gotta tell me the truth."
"Yes, Nate. We're still married. I didn't file the divorce papers"
