"Why don't you answer his call, he obviously wants to talk if he phones you 15 times a day." Ariel glared at Brooke and shook her head. Brooke groaned and grabbed Ariel's phone and answered it. "Hello, this is Brooke, Ariel's assistant, how may I help you?"
Brooke, is Ariel there? I really need to talk to her.
"Last time I checked you already talked to her and it was obvious who you chose."
Brooke, I never chose Haley, I never even got a chance to finish explaining. When Haley asked me if I wanted to get back together with her, sure I realized I still had feelings for her but that didn't mean I wanted to be with her. I don't hate Haley but I don't love her either. She's just a friend to me now and Ariel is the one I love.
"Wow Nathan, well you better tell her than hold on." Brooke handed the phone to Ariel who just shook her head no. Brooke nodded and Ariel took the phone.
"Hello!"
Ariel you are the one I love, not Haley. Me and Haley are just friends.
"Nathan." Ariel said unsure.
I'm serious Ariel, I don't want to be with her. I love you.
"Well then, where are you?"
At home why?
"Come over." With that Ariel hung up the phone and looked at Brooke. She smiled and grabbed her stuff.
"Have fun!" She walked out the door, leaving Ariel by herself. She believed Nathan but she wasn't so sure about what Haley was going to do. 10 minutes later the front door opened and Nathan walked in and went and sat by her on the couch. Ariel looked up at him and smiled.
"So, are you sure I'm the one for you?" Nathan nodded and kissed her on the lips. Ariel had missed his kisses over the past few days. She pulled him down on top of her and deepened the kiss. There was a knock on the door and they both groaned. Ariel pushed him off her and went to the door and opened it. Haley was standing on the other side.
"Can I help you?" Haley pushed past her and walked inside.
"Where's Nathan?" Nathan walked around the corner and frowned when he saw her. "Nathan there's something I forgot to tell you yesterday."
"What Haley, listen I love Ariel, not you." Haley nodded and walked closer to him.
"Nate, I'm pregnant. 6 months pregnant actually. That's why I left, I didn't want to ruin your dreams." Ariel felt like someone punched her in the stomach. She looked at Haley's belly but saw no bump or nothing.
"No you're not. You'd be way bigger if you were." Haley took off her coat and Ariel saw it. Nathan was shocked. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. Haley smirked at Ariel and then grabbed Nathan's hands and put them on her belly.
"It's our baby, Nate." Nathan opened his eyes and looked down at her. He pulled his hands away and walked over to Ariel.
"I don't believe you. It's probably Chris's. When it's born I want a paternity test, otherwise stay away from me." Haley nodded and grabbed Ariel's arm.
"Don't think that you can just steal the father of my child. Stay away from him." She whispered in Ariel's ear before leaving. Ariel went and sat on the couch, trying to digest everything that just happened. Nathan sat down beside her and put an arm around her.
"I don't believe her Ari because she would have told me the moment she got here. I think she's faking." Ariel nodded but didn't say anything. It was true though, two days ago she had seen Haley in a long sleeve shirt that was kind of tight and she didn't have the stomach she just had.
"Wow she's going to great lengths to get you back." Nathan nodded and pulled her closer to him, hugging her. "I think we should just sit here like this all day."
"I agree with you." Ariel smiled and closed her eyes both falling asleep in each others arms.
