Chapter nine
"Josh get the cheese please." Hailey asked. Her and Megan laughed at the rhyme. Drake and Josh rolled their eyes at the two girls. The doorbell rang and Josh went to answer it. Hailey walked into the kitchen, Drake watched her then looked at Megan who was busy watching the TV. He glanced at Josh and Mindy at the door then headed into the kitchen.
"Hey, do you know where the salad dressing is?" Hailey said, then turned to see who she was talking to and came face to face with Drake. "Wow, uh… can you…" she pointed for him to move, and he scooted over then reached up to get the dressing out of the fridge. She caught herself looking at where his shirt had risen, she couldn't help but notice his toned stomach, or at least what she saw of it.
"Here you go. Anything else you need?" This brought her out of her trance. She grabbed the dressing, and walked to the counter to grab the salad as well. He smiled to himself knowing that she was looking at him.
"Drake can you toss the salad while I get the bread out of the oven? It's really easy I doubt that you can mess it up." Hailey said as she turned to the oven. Comments like these made him think twice about her. She had a tendency to act too much like Mindy in the sense that he could do nothing up destroy things. He went over to the salad and started to toss it, she up the bread on a plate then looked at him. "Who taught you how to toss a salad? You're doing it all wrong."
"I sort of just taught myself in the last two minutes. How can you toss a salad wrong it gets mixed in anyway." He looked at her like she was crazy. She huffed and took the tongs from him.
"Here hold them like this..." He took the tongs then she put her hands on top of his, "then you flip the salad like this." She showed him how, and he started to get the hang of it. He was, surprisingly, nervous. His hands began to sweat, and he felt the blood rush to his cheeks, he hoped to God that that she didn't realize this. "And there you go. Now you know how that's done. I guess you're not a hopeless case after all." She walked out with a smirk on her face, she was glad that she had an affect on him.
