Chapter ten
After dinner Hailey and Mindy were in the kitchen cleaning the dishes. They stood silently, but laughed occasionally as they heard one of the boys in the other room scream if he last the video game. The phone rang, and Hailey walked over to answer it thinking it was Audrey or Walter checking up on them.
"Hello, Parker-Nichols residence." Hailey said very professionally, Mindy laughed at her, and Hailey threw her towel at her.
"Hi, is Drake Parker there?" A feminine voice asked on the other end.
"Yeah, can I ask who's calling?" Hailey asked out of politeness and out of curiosity.
"I'm Rachel Harwood, his girlfriend." Hailey couldn't tell if she was upset that he had a girlfriend, or that he flirted with her while having one, or that the girlfriend was a Harwood.
"Hold on one moment, I'll go get him." Hailey put the phone to her chest, hoping that Rachel couldn't hear her heart beating.
"Who is it?" Mindy asked.
"Rachel Harwood…Drake's girlfriend. Mindy she's a model, a very pretty model. How can he date a model?" Mindy let Hailey rant to herself as she went into the living room to get Drake.
Mindy walked in to find Josh and Drake playing a video game on the couch. She couldn't believe that they liked doing this.
"Drake, you have a phone call. Rachel." She said this in a very low tone, and she tried not to sound too disappointed. He looked at her, got up, and disappeared into the kitchen.
"What was that all about?" Josh asked his girlfriend.
"His girlfriend just called, and now it's him talking to her in the same room as Hailey who likes him…I think." She finished with a confused look. She didn't quite understand what all was going on, but there was definitely something going on.
"Hailey couldn't like Drake, I heard her and Megan talking and she as a boyfriend Aaron…" Josh told his girlfriend.
"Well, I don't think that Hailey would tell Megan that and not me… I think you heard wrong. Besides, Aaron is too old for her any way." Mindy said and got up to head over to go back into the kitchen. She didn't want Josh to know about Aaron, mostly because she didn't think that Hailey would want anyone else to know about him. It surprised her enough to hear that she had told Megan.
Hailey tried to keep herself busy in the kitchen as Drake talked on the phone. She didn't understand why Rachel couldn't of called on his cell phone, at least that way he could leave the room. She finished putting the last of the food away, and was now putting the dishes in the dishwasher. Drake hung up the phone and walked over to help her. They worked in silence, and then he couldn't take it any longer.
"I was going to break up with her." He said as if that made everything better or something.
"What? Drake I'm not made at you, come on give me a little credit. You're not that cute. I have a boyfriend." With that she left the kitchen to go find Megan.
