Chapter Four: Curiosity

"Lucas man, I need to talk to you about something."

Lucas looks at his brother in confusion.

"What about?"

"The new girl."

Lucas pointed his finger and Nathan and shook his head.

"No! Don't even think about getting involved with her Nathan? I won't stand for it."

"Why are you so protective of her? You are dating Peyton remember?"

Lucas rolls his eyes.

"I know, but I also know Haley and she doesn't need that in her life right now or ever."

Nathan sighs and sits down in the chair.

"Look Lucas, I know I haven't treated girls with the respect they deserve, but it's different with Haley, it will be different."

"Nathan, you have noticed that it's been a month and Haley still holds no interest for you."

"I know that, but I already like her man. She's different."

"I know."

"She's like this big whole mystery and I just want to solve the riddles you know?"

"It's a lot more complicated then you think Nathan, but Haley has to be the one to tell you not me."

Nathan stares at Lucas.

"I don't get you."

Lucas laughs.

"Well that's fine because I don't get you either."

"Mommy, what are we doing?" Andi asks while sitting in a shopping cart.

"It's called grocery shopping."

"What's that?"

Haley laughs at her daughter's curiosity.

"Well we go and shop for food because you missy at all of it at our house."

Andi frowns and shakes her head.

"Na ah, you and Brooke eat more than me."

Haley nods her head and smiles as she puts two boxes of cereal into the cart.

"Cheerios!" Andi yells excitedly.

"Yes, baby, cheerios."

Haley pushes the cart around the corner and hits another cart.

"Oh my god I am so sorry," Haley says as she looks at the young man who she crashed into.

"It's okay Haley," Jake says with a smile.

"Oh, Jake it's you. I'm so sorry."

Jake shakes his head and smiles.

"It's really okay, both Jenny and I are fine."

Haley takes a look at Jenny in her carrier and smiles.

"Jake, she is so beautiful."

Jake laughs and nods in the direction of Andi.

"She is too."

Haley turns to look at her daughter who has a smile on her face. Haley smiles back and turns to Jake.

"I guess we have more in common then you thought."

Jake smiles and nods his head.

"Hey after you are done here to you want to maybe get some ice cream or something?" Jake asks kindly.

Haley looks at her daughter who is enthusiastically nodding her head.

"Why not? I'm just about done are you?"

Jake nods his head.

"I'll I have to do is pay."

Brooke and Peyton walk into Peyton's house and instantly sit down on the couch.

"Do you want to tell me why we are always at my house and not yours?"

"Nope," Brooke says quickly.

"How come?"

"Because I live with Haley."

Peyton shrugs her shoulders.

"So, what's the big deal?"

"Don't ask so many questions okay Peyton because I can't answer them."

"Alright, so when was the last time that you had a date?"

Brooke groans.

"I don't want to talk about that either."

Peyton laughs and shakes her head.

"Alright, so what do you want to talk about?" Peyton asks.

"How about lover boy Scott and his eyes on Haley James?"

"Nathan definitely likes her, but Haley won't give him a chance."

"Haley's got other things on her mind at the moment."

"Are you going to fill me in?"

"I can't Peyton, but I can tell you that at this point in time Nathan will just have to wait. There is already someone else in her life."

"Is he cute?"

Brooke smiles.

"Andi is cute yes."

"So, his name is Andrew, must be a lucky guy."

Brooke just rolls her eyes and let's Peyton assume because Andi wasn't her business at least at this point in time.

"So, you had Andi when you were 15."

"Yep, I had just turned 15, but yep that was then."

"So her father didn't claim her. That kind of sucks for Andi doesn't it?"

Haley takes a lick of her ice cream as she watches Andi go down the slide.

"She doesn't think much of it. She's never asked me who her dad is and part of me is glad that she hasn't. Lucas is her Uncle and the only father figure she has in her life and she seems fine by it. She laughs about it because she's just like Lucas. They are fatherless."

"But Lucas had Keith and that was his father at least in Lucas' eyes."

"I know. Keith was a good guy and so is Lucas."

"Yeah, well Nikki isn't apart of Jenny's life either so I guess we are kind of in the same boat."

Haley laughs and nods her head.

"Look, Jake, the only people that know about Andi are Lucas, Brooke and Karen and now you so for awhile at least can you not tell anybody especially Nathan."

Jake smirked.

"You like Nathan, don't you?"

Haley shrugs her shoulders.

"I don't know, he's just different."

Jake rolls his eyes.

Of course he's different. They are totally smitten.
