Finding Our Future ch16
Haley sat at the table quietly waiting for Quinn to meet her for lunch.
"Ouch," she half shouted feeling a pinch on her arm.
"Oh don't be so dramatic." Quinn spoke walking round to sit across from her.
"What's with the pinching?" She asked rubbing her arm.
"Oh I was just checking you're still alive,"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Haley asked curiously looking over at her.
"Well it's just I haven't seen or heard from you in five days, and it would appear it's been even longer for Brooke", she poked showing her the text
"I have just been busy getting things ready for school starting." She spoke picking up her menu.
"Mom might buy that excuse but I sure as hell won't, so you better start telling me the truth Haley Bob. Did something happen with Grant or Nathan? she asked watching Haley start to panic.
"First of all, stop calling me Bob. Second, I'm not seeing Grant anymore,"
"Okay sorry. So what happened with Grant? I thought you guys had that whole day date thing. Are you finally with Nathan?"
"We did, and it was fun in parts, but I spent the whole time thinking about Nathan. Then the place he took me for lunch ended up giving me food poisoning", she explained to her.
"Right okay, that still doesn't explain why you have been hiding out," she replied watching Haley think about her answer.
"I haven't been hiding out, things just got complicated." She spoke sitting her menu down.
"So tell me," Quinn spoke simply.
"I haven't exactly told Grant yet that I don't want to continue things,"
"I'm sensing there is more to it,"
"Well yeah! I have now confessed to Nathan that I'm in love with him," she spoke softly looking over at her.
"Finally!" She cheered smiling at Haley.
"Quinn be quiet! I'm such a bad person. I have been spending all my time with Nathan, but I can't even bring myself to tell Grant at school that we are together."
"You're not a bad person Haley, you're just in love. Grant isn't dumb, so I'm sure he has already worked it our on his own by now, but if he hasn't, you can always tell him now because he's walking straight towards us." Quinn spoke as Haley really started to panic now.

"Hey Haley, how are you doing?" He asked approaching her table.
"Hi Grant, I'm good. Just enjoying some lunch with my sister Quinn", she replied as their food was being served.
"Well I won't keep you guys. I just wanted to know if you maybe wanted to go out again sometime this week?" he questioned to her.
"Look Grant, I don't really know how to say this, but umm..." she started to explain to him.
"You know what, don't worry. I guess work friends is as good as anything. I hope you and Nathan are really happy together", he replied before walking away.
"Well that was a lot easier than expected," Quinn commented smiling at her
"Yeah, it was. How does he even know I'm with Nathan? We have been so careful and haven't really been anywhere to be seen together", she commented feeling a little nervous.
"Haley Bob relax. I think to be honest everyone in this town knows that you and Nathan are meant to be together. It's not some big secret or anything. Also Nathan may have told Clay who can't really keep a secret,"
"Great! So you already knew before coming here today?"
"Well yeah. I also knew you were excited to tell me yourself. I didn't want to steal your thunder, at least now you guys can be together and not have to worry about hiding it."
"I kind of liked it just being the two of us. It does take the pressure off,"
"So have you given it up for him yet? Quinn asked excitedly, smirking at Haley.
"Quinn! I'm not talking about that here," she spoke taking a bite of her food.
"What it's normal for a couple. We both know that Nathan has plenty of experience in that area," she spoke seeing Haley's face go red.
"We are taking things at our own pace. I do think I'm getting closer to it though."
"I'm sure Nathan is happy about that. If you have any questions you know I'm always here for you," She spoke with a reassuring smile.
"Thanks Quinn. I was wondering if you would do one thing with me?"
"Sure, what is it?"
Happy Reading and please review
