Thanks for the replies!
CH12:
A month has past since, Haley was in charge of the Fashion Ball. She had already made her mind up for a theme; a spring wonderland. She was set to have her outfits in a light mode with lots of jewels, rhinestone, whatever that sparkled. An for the place, chandeliers, is what she had so far in mind. She took out her sketch pad, and began to brainstorm on what type of clothing style she was heading for, until she was interrupted by Jake.
"Hey Haley, can I speak to you?" he asked, sitting on the opposite chair to her. She looked up at him, closing her book.
"Sure what's up?" she asked. He played with his fingers. He seemed nervous.
"Alright, so it's been a month, that Rachel and I been dating and her birthday is coming up, this weekend. So since you're her best friend…What should I buy her?" he asked. Haley lightly chuckled.
"Wow, well first don't buy her anything that has to do with light green. She hates that color. What do you have so far in mind?" Haley asked.
"I was thinking perfume-
"No, she'll think you think she stinks" Haley said.
"Ok, well jewelry is-
"She'll think, she's too poor to buy some on her own, that you had to buy her some" Haley answered. He exhaled.
"Really? Well from there I'm clueless" Jake said. Once again, Haley chuckled, why do guys assume jewelry and perfume is what to get us? She thought.
"So lets think, Rachel is a really out going girl. She loves to party. What do girls love to do for past time?" Haley hinted.
"Um, I think to shop?" he asked sort of nervous.
"Good, I was going to buy her this, but since your new to the Rachel world… he chuckled…Buy her this" Haley said, showing him a catalog .
"Shoes?" he asked.
"There no just shoes, there Ralph Lauren Amber Linen Heels. Trust me, she will go crazy once she sees them, and you if you get what I'm saying" Haley winked at him. Jake blushed, looking further at the catalog.
"What color and what size?" he asked. Haley grinned.
"Red and size 8" she said, slouching on her chair. He stood from the chair, typing in the name and etc to his phone.
"Thanks. You have no idea, how much you helped me" Jake said, leaving her office. Haley smiled at him, then a few moments Rachel popped in.
"So did he go for it?" she grinned walking closer to Haley.
"Who's your girl" Haley said. Rachel grinned wider, clapping her hands.
"Yay! Than you Haley so much. I'm so happy, I get my heels" Rachel sang. Haley laughed.
"Oh wow, guys can be really stupid in gifts" Rachel said, sitting on the chair.
"Hell yes. He wanted to buy you perfume" Haley said. Rachel scrunched her nose.
"What? Doesn't he like the way I smell?" Rachel asked.
"I know, that's what I said" Haley said.
"Doesn't matter anymore. I'm getting my heels… I should go now, so you can get focused in your line. See you at lunch. And lastly don't stress" Rachel said, leaving her office.
"Ok" Haley said, opening her sketch book again.
WITH NATHAN…
Nathan arrived at a fancy restaurant. It was already the afternoon. He entered and instantly saw a man in a white suit with what seemed two, large body guards surrounding him. He walked to him, standing down next to him.
"James Freen, nice to meet you" Nathan said, shaking his hand. The man stood up, shaking Nathan's hand.
"Not as much as I am to meet you. Sit down please" James said.
"So tell me Mr. Freen how can I help you?" Nathan asked, placing the menu away.
"Well I heard from a previous customer of yours, that you are the highest recommended person to lets say fix inconveniences" James spoke. Nathan grinned.
"You can say that. Me and my people do our job well and are known to leave our customers satisfied. Now tell me what inconvenience do you want me to fix?" Nathan asked. The man chuckled.
"I like your attitude, right to the point-
"What can I get you gentleman today?" the host interrupted them.
"Get us both the steak and a bottle of champagne, please" James said.
"Alright" the lady wrote down, leaving.
"On to business, this is a picture of Henry Reed. It's sad I have to turn this way, we were partners, but the bastard slept with my wife and tried to steal my money. Now payback. I want him done with this Saturday" James said, showing Nathan the picture.
"This week. That would be extra. Usually I'm given a week notice or two" Nathan spoke.
"Nathan, I'm willing to pay whatever the amount is. Money is no limit" James smirked.
"Then I'm at your service. Just tell me where and what time and how you want him eliminated" Nathan grinned. The man continued to smirk.
"Excellent" James said.
WITH HALEY…
"Ugh, to stupid" Haley said, folding the paper and throwing it at the garbage can. Rachel stepped into the office, observing the papers all over the floor. She bed down, looking at the designs.
"Why are you throwing these away? There are awesome" Rachel said, leaning up from the floor. Rachel looked up at her.
"What are you talking about? They suck. What if I fail at this? What if I make this company a complete joke? What if I get fired? What if-
"Haley! Breath and drop the pen down. Now get up from your chair because were eating. It's already lunch time and you need a break" Rachel said, leading Haley out of the office. By the time they were at their usual table, Jake joined them, giving Rachel a quick kiss. Then he looked at Haley, who looked exhausted.
"What happened to you? I saw a while ago and you didn't look this- Rachel kicked him.
"Did I tell you, you look really stylish today, like always?" he covered up. Haley laughed.
"It's ok Rachel, Jake's right. It's just I'm not finding any inspiration for my line. I have one month and a half to have them done and pick out the designer I'm working with" Haley said.
"Don't worry Haley, I seen your work. You'll come up with something in time" Jake assured her. Haley smiled at him.
"I hope your right" Haley said, eating her food.
"On to other things. Haley you and I have to go shopping for my birthday outfit and party food and drinks this Friday" Rachel said.
"Not possible" Haley said.
"Why?" Rachel asked.
"Because it's going to take us forever to find us an outfit. How bout we shop for party food Thursday and the outfit this Friday?" Haley asked.
"Oh yeah. True. Ok" Rachel said.
"You girls are weird" Jake chuckled. Both Haley and Rachel glared at him, kicking him. He leaned down in pain while they laughed.
FRIDAY ALREADY…
Haley was currently at her house designing her line again. She was frustrated. She had to make a collection of 15 outfits. She only had 2 outfits done. She signed looking at the time. It was 3:32 in the afternoon. She had been working on her line since 11 in the morning.
She stood from her chair, and grabbed her keys, ready to visit a certain someone.
Once arriving at Nathan's house, this time Haley rang the bell. Few seconds later Nathan answered the door.
"Hey babe, what's up?" Nathan asked. Haley smiled at him, leaning up, crashing her lips to his. The walked to inside his house. Nathan drifted from the kiss first.
"Wow" Nathan spoke.
"Do you want to have sex?" Haley asked, placing one hand on her hip. Nathan looked at her confused.
"What?" he asked puzzled.
"I have one hour to waste before I go shopping with Rachel. So you want to have sex or not?" Haley asked.
"Sure" Nathan spoke, lifting up Haley, while she wrapped her legs around his waist, carrying her upstairs.
AN HOUR LATER…
"Thank you so much Nathan. You helped stir the stress away" Haley said, placing her clothes on. Nathan remained in his bed, watching her.
"I feel so cheap" Nathan teased. Haley chuckled, kiss him quickly.
"Trust me your not. Well now I have to go pick up Rachel" Haley said, placing her shoes on now.
"What are you girls doing?" he asked.
"Shopping for our outfits for her party tomorrow. Which I forgot, are you coming with me?" Haley asked.
"Why not… Don't go crazy at the mall" Nathan said.
"That I cant assure. See you later babe" Haley said.
"Oh Haley before you go, feel free to come here anytime your stressed" Nathan smirked. Haley winked at him, leaving the room.
THE NEXT DAY…
"Haley are you ready yet?" Nathan asked. He was waiting for her at her apartment. He has been waiting for her for last 15 minutes.
"Just a second!" she screamed from her room. That's what you said, 10 minutes ago, Nathan thought. He signed, switching channels. Seconds later Haley came out wearing a simple light blue halter top dress.
"Ok I'm ready. Lets go" Haley said. Nathan stood up from the couch.
"You look really beautiful" he commented her. She blushed, smiling.
"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself" Haley said. They both excited her apartment off to the Rachel's party.
