Finding Our Future ch11
Haley's mind was all over the place since her afternoon with Grant. She wanted to fully let go and enjoy the fact that another guy was showing an interest in her, but in the back of her mind, her thoughts were still consumed with the kiss she had shared with Nathan.
"Come on tutor girl, I want details of your date", Brooke spoke through the computer screen.
"Brooke stop being so dramatic. It wasn't a date, we just hung out," she spoke not making eye contact with her friend.
"Hales I need a bit more information than that. What did you guys do and did you kiss him?" She spoke excitedly looking for more details.
"Well I meet him at the beach and then he took me to an escape room," she started to explain.
"You hate that sort of thing."
"I know! I didn't want to make him feel bad the first time hanging out. I did enjoy it and I'll give him credit for making me do something outside of my comfort zone."
"Right okay! So what did you after?"
"He took me to a seafood restaurant," she answered softly.
"Which you also hate. What did you end up eating?"
"I had lobster mac and cheese. Which was okay, he did pay for the meal which was nice."
"So are you going to go on a second date?"
"We never really talked about that. If he were to ask me again, I think I would give him another chance", she replied softly biting her lip.
"Haley what are you hiding from me?" She asked sternly
"Well something happened with Nathan too?" She spoke softly
"Did you finally give it up for him?" Brooke asked excitedly.
"No, but we fell asleep on the beach together last night. Before my evening with Grant I went to his place and we had an argument", she spoke thinking back to it.
"Right okay and what else happened?" Brooke asked knowing there was more to it.
"He kissed me again. This kiss was different from the others we have shared the last few days," she replied finally letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding in.
"What do you mean different?" Brooke questioned to her.
"The kiss was unexpected. It didn't feel rushed or as pressured. It made me feel relaxed, carefree and wanted by him." She explained to Brooke.
"I hate to break it to you Hales, but it sounds to me like your more in love with him than your willing to admit", she spoke watching Haley's expression change.
"I'm not in love with him Brooke. I haven't even seen him in seven years." She tried to defend without any luck.
"Haley you're in denial. I think you know from all the talks we've had recently that you do love him the same way he loves you. Now you just need to accept it", Brooke spoke giving out her advice.
"What am I supposed to do about Grant? I just told Nathan that I needed time to explore other relationships. We have only been out once", she spoke trying to deflect her feelings away from Nathan.
"Right and who did you spend the whole date thinking about?" Brooke questioned to her.
"Nathan," she answered softly.
"Exactly! So just let Grant down gently and enjoy being with Nathan," she explained to her.
"Okay, I need to go talk with Nathan," she commented to Brooke.
"Bye tutor girl. Let me know how things go tomorrow," she spoke before ending their chat.

Haley quickly got herself changed into something more comfortable and made her way over to Nathan's.
"Who is it?" Nathan shouted as he heard knocking at the door.
"It's Haley," she replied nervously and barely above a whisper.
"What do you want? Shouldn't you be with Grant?" He spat out as he answered the door to her.
"I need to talk to you, and no our hanging out finished hours ago", she spoke finally making eye contact with him.
"So what's so important that you wanted to talk to me about?" He asked staring back at her.
"Can I come in and I will explain?" She asked with a soft smile.
Nathan opened the door motioning for her to come in. He couldn't help breathing in her scent as she walked by. He was very interested to see what she had to say to him.
Happy reading and please review
