Friday.
Nathan was in
the locker room. Pete came ti sit next to him.
"Ready?"
"Yeah..."
Nathan checked his watch. "I've to go outside. Be right back."
Nathan went
out outside, he arrived at the parking. He turned on the right and
saw all the people who was waiting for. Then he saw them. He moved
to them, trying to be discret.
Haley and
Tyler arrived in front of the stadium. The crowd was in front of the
door, waiting for enter. Haley and Tyler stayed behind. Tyler wore
his Bobcats cap.
"Mom?"
"Yeah?"
Haley answered, trying to see how many people was wainting for.
"Can you
buy me popcorn?"
"Yes,
when we'll be inside."
Suddenly, she
felt someone behind him, she turned and saw Nathan.
"Hey!"
"Ssshh.
Come with me..." He took Haley's hand. Haley parted, surprised.
Nathan noticed it. They followed him, inside the locker room. Haley
hid her eyes.
"Oh
god!"
Nathan
laughed. "Come on,they're all dressed." They walked again
and arrived in the corridor near to the interior field. A big man of
the security stared at them. Nathan nodded to him and led Haley and
Tyler to their seats.
"I've to
go."
"Okay..
Thank you."
"Welcome,
Lady."
Nathan saw a
sales clerk who sold cap and popcorn. "Be right back."
Haley and Tyler looked around them, fascinated by the size of the
stadium. Nathan came back. He gave Tyler a popcorn pack and put a
Bobcats cap on Haley's head.
"You're
pretty like that." Haley nodded, embarassing. "Thank you."
He nodded.
"Wait
for me after the game." He smiled and went down the bleachers.
During all the match, Tyler supported, standing up when someone scored, screaming when there was a fault or when a player missed. Haley looked at him, smiling. Her eyes travelled from Tyler to Nathan and vice versa. Tyler looked at his mother quickly. Haley had the impression everything slowed down. She smiled remembering.
Flashback
Haley was
siting on the couch, Lydia was drinking a coffee next to her.
"Quinn
said to me, one of her friend was in the same situation."
Haley
stared at her mother. "Many girls are in the same situation. Except
many of them aren't married."
"What
about the divorce?"
"I
don't know."
"Hales...
I know you love him... but it's over."
Haley
lowered her head. Suddenly, they heard Jimmy called them.
"Hales!
Lydia! Come here!" The two women looked at them and ran outside,
in the garden to join Jimmy. When Haley saw the scene, she was
speechless. Tyler was walking. Jimmy was in front of him, knelt on
the floor, grinning. Tyler laughed. Jimmy looked at Haley and smiled.
Haley was on verge of tears, moved. Jimmy was talking to Tyler who
carried on to laugh then he gave him a mini basketball ball.
Flashback
Haley was
still smiling. Then, Tyler screamed again."They
won!" He jumped on himself. Haley laughed, then her gaze met
Nathan's, he smiled, and joined his teammates. The stadium emptied
little by little. Haley and Tyler went down the bleachers.
"Mom,
can I go to see him?"
Haley nodded.
They went to the corridor near the locker room, to look for Nathan.
"I don't
see him." Tyler said. Haley raised her on tip toe. She has a
back view of him. Then he turned a little, smiling to someone. Haley
froze seeing a brown hair young girl came to him and kissed him.
Haley shook her head and looked at Tyler.
"He's
busy... you know he've a lot of things to do." She paused,
waiting for Tyler nod. Then Haley took his hand and went home.
Nathan
parted. Sarah smiled and left. He felt relief inside him that Sarah
had to go at her parents for a week. He went to Pete.
"Have
you seen them?"
Pete bit his
lip. "I saw them leaving."
"But..."
He sighed. Why did she leave? He shook his head.
"You
come with us at the night club?"
"No.
I've to go." Nathan came in the locker room to change
himself.
Haley was
sitting on Tyler's bed. She bent over him and put a kiss on his
forehead.
"Good
Night."
He smiled.
Haley stood up but she stopped when Tyler asked.
"Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"How can
I call him?"
She remained
silent. "I don't know... just ask him." She paused and
said.
"Now,
sleep. Auntie Brooke is coming tomorrow."
He smiled and
closed his eyes. Haley took a breathe, switched off the light and
closed the door.
She went down
the stairs. She was dying to eat some vanilla ice cream with
chocolate sauce and coconut above. She went to the kitchen when she
heard someone knock at the door. She sighed, putting off her ice
cream later, then she went to opened the door. Nathan.
"Nathan?"
"Why did
you leave?"
"Sorry...
I was tired and I thought you would be busy."
"I
wanted to invit you, you and Tyler, to dinner."
And
the girl? She shook her head. Why did she think about it. It's
not my business.
"Oh...
sorry... Nathan.. but..." Any words wanted to be prononced.
Haley felt a wave of panicked increasing inside her when she noticed
she was just wearing her shorty shorts and a top.
"Can I
come in?"
Haley nodded
and let him come in.
"Who's
her?" She bit a lip.
"Who?"
"The
girl who was with you, after the game." They walked to the
kitchen.
"Sarah...
she's nice..."
Haley
grinned. "Nice?" Haley put two bowls on the counter and put
vanilla ice-cream inside. She poured chocolate sauce on the ice cream
and dotted with coconut.
She gave one
to Nathan. "Thanks." She grinned. "Satisfaction
accomplished." She said.
He looked at
her suprised. "What?"
"I
wanted to eat this for so long!" He laughed. "Delicious."
"Yeeeeah."
"What
did you think about the game?"
She laughed.
"Nice."
He smirked.
"Okay... You didn't change..."
"About
basketball rules?" She paused. "Yeah!" They said at
the same time, laughing.
When they had
finished to eat the ice cream. Nathan stood up to put his bowl in the
sink, but Haley and him collided, one of the bowl felt on the floor.
Nathan and Haley knelt at the same time to pick up.
"I'm
sorry."
"No no.
Never mind." She looked at him in eyes, smiling. "It
happens all the time."
They stayed
eye in eye. Haley shivered. Nathan couldn't breathe anymore. His head
moved slowly to hers. Nathan put his lips on hers. It was sweet. So
sweet. Haley parted, surprised. Nathan couldn't stop looking at her
and it was the same for Haley.
"I
wanted to do this for so long." He said finally, making Haley's
heart bounce like the very first time he had kissed her.
