Chapter Fourteen

Hailey and Mindy were at Hailey's house studying, but as the time passed both girls seemed to have forgotten what they had started to do. Hailey was reading her lines and Mindy instant messaging Josh. Kara came to the door and knock gently at first then harder when no one came. "Hails, phone for you…it's a boy…" Kara called mockingly though the door. Hailey rolled her eyes and got up to get the phone.

"Who is it Kara?" She asked as she took the phone from her sister. Without a word from Kara Hailey spoke into the receiver. "Hello?" She was surprised to hear who it was. "Drake? Why are you calling me? Usually only Megan calls." Mindy got interested when she heard Drake's name.

"Well, Josh is taking Mindy and her family to this restaurant and my parents and Megan were going to go as well, so I figured that you might want to come since you know everyone." Hailey was about to faint at the news. She couldn't believe that he was trying to ask her out.

"But it wouldn't be like a date or anything, right? I mean you are going out with Rachel still." Drake couldn't believe he was doing this. One minute he hated her the next he couldn't stop thinking about her. There was no way she would agree to come if she thought it was a date, so he thought he would bring Megan into this.

"Actually, Megan wants you to be there so she has someone to talk to. And that way you won't be all alone tonight…" He thought he was very clever for coming up with a good cover that way he could be with her, and not consider it cheating.

Hailey looked Mindy who really wanted to know what was going on. "Drake can you hold on for a second." She covered the phone with the palm of her hand and turned to Mindy. "He wants me to go to the dinner tonight."

"Well what are you going to do? Do you what to go?" Mindy was very interested in the events that were now unfolding.

"Mindy, I wanted to go, but then he had to put this lame excuse that Megan needs me there, and then he said I'd be all alone with you guys gone. Hello I have a life also." Mindy nodded her head in understanding.

"Well stop telling me and tell him…" Hailey got in the mindset to tell Drake off, then stopped.

"But Mindy I want to go."

"Oh for goodness sake just ask him out already!" Mindy returned to her conversation with Josh and left Hailey to do what she wanted.

"Drake, sure I'll go. Me and Mindy will be there soon, bye." Hailey hung up the phone.

"You are out of your mind. You even used bad grammar." Mindy told her.

Drake said bye into the phone after Hailey had hung up. He looked at Josh with a huge smile, and Josh knew what that meant, Hailey was coming to dinner. Josh didn't like that Drake was almost dating Hailey when he was also dating Rachel. But you had to be an idiot to think that Drake and Rachel would last for another week. "Drake do you think it's such a good idea to have Hailey and Rachel at the same dinner." Drake turned to his brother in a panic.

"Josh, why would Rachel be there? I didn't invite her." Drake was starting to get worried.

"I think mom invited her. She came by this morning to drop off a jacket."

"I think tonight will be very entertaining." Megan said as she walked into her brothers' room dressed in a nice silk dress.

"Megan will you get out." Drake told her.

"You know you should be a lot nicer to me. If you want to get Hailey to notice you, which I will still sent you to Russia for. I told you that I don't want you and her together. So uninvited her." Megan told her brother. She knew he wouldn't do it, but she liked making him feel scared.

"Megan, she's not coming as my date. My girlfriend Rachel is, and Hailey will be there for you." She looked at him then exited the room, she was right this was going to be fun.
