Haley sat opposite Simon trying fiercely to listen to what the blond man had to say. "Haley?" the sound of his voice brought her back to the world she had temporally abandoned.

"Sorry, Simon, what were you saying?" He leaned back in his chair and looked at her confused.

"Nothing it doesn't matter. I have to go to the bathroom, I'll just be a minute." Haley nodded her head and when the man was out of sight she called the waiter over with a wave of her hand and a raise of her eyebrow.

"Can I get another glass of wine?" She asked politely. Only a minute passed when the waiter came with a full glass. "Thank you." Simon reappeared looking a little nervous.

"Haley, are you all right? You seem a little distracted tonight." Haley consciously smiled at him. She had spent the last twenty minutes practically ignoring him. 'Focus' she willed herself.

"Yeah I'm fine... just a little worried about the exam results coming out." She lied. Haley felt his hand on hers and she suddenly felt on edge, around him. Her boyfriend. She shouldn't feel this way. Haley just wanted to be tucked up in her bed with a good book.

"The results aren't going to be out for another month. Just don't worry about it; I'm sure you'll do great." Haley smiled at his reassurance and she was nearly sure that that line would have worked if she was indeed worried about her results. But she wasn't.

Haley nearly choked on her chicken seeing Brooke, Peyton, Jake, Lucas, Nathan and some blonde walk through the door. "Hale's you o.k.?" Simon asked concerned.

"No." She said quietly while getting up from her chair. "I'll just be a second." Simon nodded noticing Brooke and Peyton come into the restaurant.

Haley pulled Brooke aside without the others realizing. "What are you all doing here?" she asked emphasizing the 'all' in her sentence. Brooke plastered a surprised look on her face and began to talk.

"Haley I thought you said you were going to the French place." She said convincingly. "No Brooke I didn't say where I was going... but you have to leave."

"Haley the guys had these reservations for like a week now, we cant just leave. We won't get in anywhere else." Brooke said to the small brunette beside her.

"What do you mean your double booked?" Lucas asked the matron loudly. Brooke rolled her eyes at the blond; he really wasn't a good actor.

Noticing Haley, Nathan visibly tensed up. She looked beautiful; she wore a light blue dress that clung to her body in all the right places. She was wearing her hair down so that it hung lightly on her shoulders.

"Are you all right Nate?" Rebecca whispered seductively in his ear. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes at her busty blonde who was hanging on to his arm. Nathan was paying a lot attention; it just wasn't to his date.

Nathan just nodded and pulled his eyes from Haley who was currently giving Brooke a very evil stare. Looking away from her he noticed Peyton and Jake didn't seem to be worried about the double booking.

"Please tell me you didn't do this." Nathan hissed to Lucas. He pretended to not hear his younger brother but inside Lucas was blowing up. The plan was in stage one and soon to be stage two.

"Well I guess your leaving..." Haley said triumphantly to Brooke. "pity." She said with fake sadness. "Hey what's going on Haley?" Simon asked putting his arm around Haley's petite waist.

Lucas, Peyton and Jake had now entered there circle leaving Nathan alone with Rebecca. "Guy's I think we have to go there are no tables." Lucas said innocently to Brooke. "Hey Nathan, were going, there aren't any table." Lucas said faux disappointed.

Nathan stepped beside his brother and noticing a blond man's arm around Haley, Nathan tightened his grip of Rebecca's. Haley kept her eyes on the floor and away from Nathan's. She wasn't falling into that trap tonight.

"If the restaurant doesn't object you could join Haley and me." Simon told the group nicely. Haley felt like throwing up. 'This isn't happening' she thought to herself.

"Well only if you don't mind. We wouldn't want to intrude." Lucas replied which gained him death stares from both Nathan and Haley. "No we don't mind, right Hale's?" Simon asked her, putting a little pressure on her stomach to make sure she was listening to him.

"No that's no problem at all." She said with fake enthusiasm. Haley took a quick glance at Nathan; his arm was wrapped tightly around what's-her-face's shoulder. Haley pulled herself from Simon's grasp and made it back to the table.

As soon as the restaurant had made room for the extra tables everybody had started ordering. Haley again began picking at her food and only taking a few small bites from the dish.

"So... ah... oh hey I don't think you guys know each other..." Brooke said trying to start up a conversation. "Simon, this is Lucas, Jake, Nathan and..." Brooke purposely looked at Nathan's date and scrunched up her face. "..sorry I've forgotten your name." Brooke faked shame.

"It's Rebecca but every body calls me Bec." The blonde smiled not noticing Brooke roll the eyes. "As in the singer?" Haley laughed snidely still playing with her food. She refused to acknowledge the death glare Nathan was shooting her way.

"Well yeah but without the 'k'" she informed the small brunette who didn't seem to care for the answer. Lucas stared at Brooke who was sitting opposite him and banged his four fingers against his thumb signaling for her to talk more.

"Yeah and everybody this is Simon..." Brooke trailed off not wanting to introduce him as Haley's boyfriend.

An awkward silence filled the table. Everybody bar Simon and Haley were waiting on their food. Lucas and Brooke were silently bickering between themselves sending each other looks to try to make them say something... nothing.

Simon finished his dinner and took a glance at Haley who had left half of her dinner to get cold. Hearing his mobile sound Simon pulled it out of his pocket and read his message and then started to type in a text.

"You must really like that phone. You use it at the most annoying times." Nathan said jeering at the blond man who just looked at him in confusion.

Haley and Brooke both gasped at Nathan knowing he was referring to the 'incident' outside the club.

"Well this is fun." Jake spoke cheerfully which earned him hateful glances by Haley and Nathan.


Hey guys, well that was chapter 10. I don't know if I like that chapter very much. I kind of had to force myself to write which was probably the reason why it isn't on of my favorite chapters.

I have just set up a C2 community which is devoted to the best of naley stories (Star Crossed Lover's) so if you would like to suggest any fiction for me to post there by all means do. And please do check it out.

I should be updating 'Lies are Kinder' next so look out for it.


Poisoned-Heart-Naley23: Thanks for the review; I hope I didn't take that long in updating. The next chapter should be up in about a week and a half. Sarah.

China: It might take a while yet for Nathan and Haley to sort everything out but its coming. There will be more dinner stuff in the next chappie as well. I hope you enjoyed this one. Sarah.

jay: I'd say there are about five more chapters roughly but I haven't got a plan or anything so I really don't know. Thanks for the review. Sarah.

IceBitchPL: Yeah the date isn't exactly what Simon was looking for but who cares what he thinks, right? I said at the start that this story would also be a brucas but there really is only a teeny weenie bit of it so sorry.


Thanks to everyone who reviewed it does mean a lot when other writers give there input so thanks... again.

I'll be back soon. Sarah.
