Haley watched Nathan drive off and let her self into her house. As Luke was spending the night at Brooke's she decided to take a hot bath, light some candles and relax.
Chilaxxxx…
She rummaged upstairs on a hunt for some candles. She searched in all the cupboards and all the draws but had no luck.
Scratch the candles then…
Heading up to the bathroom she turned on the tap and let it warm up until she plugged in the plug to let the bath fill up.
Walking into her bedroom she grabbed her Ipod and the speakers and set them up in the hallway near the bathroom. She was defiantly not going to attempt to listen to her iPod while she was in the bath; she tried that one before…
And it did not end well.
Just before stepping in the bath tub her cell phone started to ring.
Sighing she quickly made her way to where the noise was coming from and flicked it open to see who it was.
Chris.
"Hello?" She blushed.
What was she five?!
"Hey it's me" He mumbled in his low husky voice.
"Who?" She joked.
"Chris…?" He said this time in a serious tone.
"Oh Hey you" She giggled.
"I was just checking if you got home okay?" He asked. How considerate.
"I did, but shouldn't you be in bed?" She said, he left for an early start…
She heard him chuckle.
"Yeh, but I had to call you to see if you were okay"
"I'm good. Just having a hot bath" She told him… wait should she have said that?
"Want some company?"
Uurrmmm??????!!!?
After no reply he laughed again…
"It was a joke Haley… so I'm at the recording studio tomorrow and after that I was wondering if you wanted to have coffee or something." He asked.
"Sure"
"Cool, well I'll text you the times tomorrow. I'll leave you now, your baths probably getting cold."
"Bye Chris" She snapped the phone shut and chucked it on the bed and ran to her bath. Stripping off she let her muscles let loose and melt into the water.
Her thoughts went back to what Nathan said in the car. How he warned her about Chris. It frustrated her that he got involved. He chose not to want her so why was he ruining any possibility of a love life with any one else?
It was like he wanted her for him self yet he didn't even want her?
If that made sense…
But she wasn't going to worry about him. Forgetting about him was her number one priority.
And she was going to make sure that happened.

"So your going on a date?!" Brooke asked in the basketball hall during gym that next day.
"I don't know, he asked me out for coffee? Is that a date?" Haley asked her self wondering, he didn't actually use the word "date".
"Sure it is! We have to go shopping… Oh my god! We have to go shopping!" She screamed the second part.
"Well he said he'd text me but he hasn't yet so it's not official" Haley sighed looking at her phone for the hundredth time this morning.
"Oh" Brooke mumbled.
"Yeh"
"Girls! Get up and collect all the basketball balls while the boys warm up. You've been sitting down chatting for 10 minutes now! Ignoring me." Mrs Tee screamed walking off in a mood.
"Great"
Haley and Brooke got up and walked towards where the boys were warming up. They slowly started picking up ball by ball chucking it at each guy.
"So why can't he just tell you the details at school?" Brooke asked once they finished collecting the balls. They both settled down at the bench by Coach Durham who was currently shouting at the boys.
"He's recording, I guess he's busy"
"Ohhh niceee"
"Yeh, its amazing isn't it? He's talented so he deserves it" Haley smiled to herself.
"Haley! I've said this before but you sing! You should so do a duet or something! It would be so… cool!" Brooke squealed smiling.
"What would be cool?" Luke asked.
Where did he come from?
"Um… Haley, she just said something" Brooke brushed off.
"Said what?" A different yet familiar voice said.
Nathan.
And him?!
Haley gave Brooke a look that said Don't-say-a-thing but the look in Brooke eyes was recognisable and she could tell she wasn't going to listen.
"Haley's hot date today" Haley blushed not looking at either her brother or Nathan.
"Really?" Lucas asked.
"Uhuh..." Haley brushed off fiddling around with her hand bag.
"Is it Chris?" Nathan asked.
For a moment Haley was going to ignore him and maybe walk off. Avoid him forget him… but she knew she wouldn't be able to do that. Tattoos aren't removed easily.
Or not at all.
They will always be there.
You just have to learn to deal with them or get used to them.
Deal with Nathan.
"Yes" She strongly answered seeing Brooke smile from the corner of her eye she felt happy maybe Nathan would leave her alone and piss of somewhere else.
"Well I hope he takes care of you" Nathan whispered walking off.
You what?!
Brooke shrugged and Luke rolled his eyes.
"Come on Brooke" They both walked off arm in arm. Haley sighed and took a seat outside with her phone in her hands. Desperate much?
Haley didn't know how long it had been but she'd guessed it had been longer than she imagined as there were no longer any people present outside and it was quite out.
Why didn't he text her?
What was wrong with him?
With her?
Her phoned buzzed.
She took a deep breath and hoped for the best…
Meet me tonight at TRIC'S I'm going to be performing.
There was nothing about the recording or her coming to visit him there.
What was going on today?!
--
Haley didn't tell neither Brooke nor Lucas about her going to TRIC'S she just arrived their. It was buzzing with not the usual kids but with people she didn't recognise.
It was strange.
She found some where to sit and waited for him to start performing. He came on a few minutes later and Haley was surprised by screaming girls. What was he? Already famous?
He sang his heart out and Haley realised he was actually pretty good. His deep sexy voice played along with the music whiles playing the guitar.
After he finished he walked off surrounded by girls asking him to sign their t shirts and notes. She noticed him take a drink from some ones hand and down it and ask for another. This was UN usual.
She stood their suddenly cold rubbing her hands up and down her chilly arms she tried to warm her self up.
She wasn't used to seeing him drink that much.
Even though she saw him rarely but still…
He stumbled around hugging and kissing people who watched him in awe.
"Who are you here with?" Turning around Nathan was standing their.
What was he doing here?!
"Chris" she answered. She wasn't really with him but if she said she was on her own, boy she'd look like a loser.
"How was your date?" He asked remembering Brooke talking about it in front of him. After a while with no answer from Haley he guessed she didn't go.
She turned around and watched Chris hug more girls.
"He's with you?"
She nodded quickly biting her lower lip.
She shivered again.
"Here take this, you look frozen" he handed her his jacket, after no response he slipped over her shoulders; it was still warm from his body.
"Thank you" She smiled.
"I know its none of my business but do you really think he's a good idea Hales? I mean look at him?"
She looked at Chris. He was having fun. Couldn't any one have fun these days?
"What do you mean?" She demanded rounding on him furiously. He was well out of line. It wasn't like he was Mr Perfect.
Nate took a step back but bravely opened his mouth again, obviously about to launch into character assassination, when some one called Haley's name.
They both turned around. It was hard to tell who was more relieved at the interruption.
"Baabbbe!" Chris put his arm around Haley almost slumping all his body weight on her.
"You came!" He added. His breath stunk of alcohol.
She nodded nervously.
"Nathan Scott!!!" A harsh squeal from the other side of the room called.
An unfamiliar short, curvy brunette appeared from behind Nathan stalking towards the two clearly put out to discover him in conversation with another female.
"Nathan, I've been looking for you everywhere darling" She said potentially in an English accent. She slipped a possessive hand around his waste, looking daggers at Haley.
Who they hell was she?
"This is Haley, Hales this is Isabella"
Haley usually waited a while before she judged some one put "Isabella" just had something about her Haley didn't like.
"Oh, Hello" She managed, giving her a once over with ice-cold eyes.
"Nathan we should leave now" Nathan took one more glance at Haley and bit is lower lip.
"Yeah we're already late"
Haley took the Jacket off ready to hand it back to her.
"No, no" He gave it back.
"Pick it up tomorrow or something" Haley told her after refusal from Nathan.
He nodded, took a quick glance at Chris then back at Haley again. He was contemplating whether to leave Haley.
Haley secretly hoped he'd stay.
"Nathan! Come on daarrrliing!"
"Go" Haley mouthed.
He nodded.
"Bye"
