Chapter 8

One month later

Oh damn it

"Hey" Haley called out to her best friends who were just abut to jump into a taxi "I left my purse at work" she looked at her watch and noticed that it was9.30pm, Oh good I still have time, doesn't matter if I am a bit late. She then looked at Rachel and Brooke who were now gawping at her and realised it would be unfair if she made them late as well. She looked desperately down the street and then back at her best friends "I am going to have to go back and get it."

"Ah, Haley" Brooke whined as she tried to push Haley in the taxi "I know you said you didn't want to watch this movie, but really you don't need to lie to us"

"No really, I left my purse on my desk" Haley reassured "I need to go back and get it if I want to watch this film, otherwise how am I going to be able to buy a ticket?"

"I'll but you it" Rachel said as she jumped in the taxi "Come on Haley we are going to be late"

Haley pondered on Rachel's offer but shook her head. "No way Rachel, one you know I hate to borrow money-"

Brooke interrupted "But-"

"Two, "Haley said before Brooke could carry on "You know me, how am I going to go all weekend without my purse…or cell phone, oh god I left my cell phone in there. I really need to go back."

"Can't you get it tomorrow?" Rachel asked. "I really want to see Jim Carey act of serious" She whined. Rachel had a thing for Jim Carey you see, neither of the other girls understood it but to Rachel, Jim Carey was god. So when they were watching TV in their apartment the other day and a commercial for 23 came on, Rachel nearly screamed and booked tickets to see it straight away.

"The office isn't open at weekends"

"Oh"

"Look ladies, are we going or are we staying? I haven't got the time to wait around here all day." The tab driver complained as he popped his head out of the window.

Geese, maybe be a bit polite Haley thought.

"Look," Haley sighed. "Why don't I go back and get my purse right now, that way I won't be freaking out all weekend, and then I'll meet you both there?" She reasoned. Sure 23 wasn't exactly her choice of movie, and she wasn't that enthusiastic about watching it, but it did beat her idea of staying in all night reading. That and the fact that since she started working at Scott's Law she felt like she hadn't hung out with her friends in the longest time. She missed them.

"You sure?" Brooke asked, she felt a tad bit guilty for making Haley track all the way to the office on her own, she knew she wouldn't want to do it.

Haley nodded her head "Yeah, of course. I'll meet you there…anyways I may not be that late I have still got half hour."

"Well good" Rachel called out from in the taxi "Now come on Brooke move your but, we can't be late! Jim is waiting!"

Brooke quickly enveloped Haley in a tight hug and whispered in her ear "You better not be that late, you know what Rachel is like for the Carey" Both girls burst out laughing before Brooke gave a small wink in Haley's direction then jumped in the car.

Haley was still laughing when she watched the taxi drive down the street.

My friends really are crazy.

………………..

"Hey Mike" Haley smiled at the security guard of the building. Ever since she started working here a month ago she made it her duty to know as many members of staff as she could, even though Nathan was constantly telling her none of them probably knew her name and that she was to nice for her own good. Haley just shooed him off every time he would say that since she knew he was only teasing her. Nathan always teased her. Since Haley started working for Nathan they seemed to get along like every Lawyer and his PA should, they got along, they occasionally joked around, really…they got along perfectly. However not as well as Haley would have hoped for…

Shut up Haley…those are stupid stupid thoughts.

Nathan still hadn't recognised her from the crazy night (one which she can never get out of her head) they shared a month ago. For one reason Haley thought it was a really good thing, it didn't seem to bring an awkward atmosphere in their working relationship…which was a good thing! But she still also felt a little hurt that he never remembered her. Of course she put those thoughts the back of her head.

"Hey Haley" Mike smiled back. "What is your pretty face doing here?"

Well he sure knows who I am Haley thought with a smile. Have that Nathan Scott!

Haley laughed "Well, silly me I forgot my purse. Is it okay that I go up and get it?"

"Yes of course it is honey"

Haley smiled appreciatively "Okay thanks so much" She then turned around and walked towards the stairs. She was contemplating going in the elevator since that would be so much quicker but no, her phobia decided to get the best of her. Elevators…..Ahh!

Micke chuckled to himself as he saw the way Haley edged close to the elevator doors but then quickly dodged away from them. She was quite a character that young Haley James. He watched her as she walked towards the stairs then he remembered Nathan was working late as well "Oh Haley-" However he didn't get to finish the sentence as she was already gone.

…………………

Wow is this floor scary in the night. Haley thought as she emerged the stair case. She looked out across the whole floor and saw all the lights off, and for the first time since she started working there…it was silent. No noise. At all. It was kind off freaking Haley out.

OH MY GOD!

Haley jumped out of her skin when she heard a noise coming from Nathan's office.

Oh my gosh, this cannot be happening! I am too young to die. Oh god! Hang on… how did this person manage to slip pass Mike? Oh man, maybe he knew someone was up here and was behind the whole plot! That is why he is always so nice to her…because he wants to kill her…..

Haley started edging towards the office. She didn't know why since she was scared shitless right now! If she was sitting at home and watching this on the TV she would be screaming at the girl to stop, declaring that she thought she was stupid. She never got why girls in horror movies always decided to investigate the house when they heard a scary noise or explore the creepy haunted houses on their own. She always figured they were crazy …but right now it was like the office was drawing her towards it.

Oh god I am going to die

"AAAAAHH!!" Haley screamed as laud as her lungs would when she saw the office door being flung open with much force.

"Oh Christ!" Nathan shrieked as he too jumped out of his skin, dropping all the paper work that was in his hands. "What the hell Haley?" He asked when he was able to gain composure and notice that a terrified Haley was looking back at him.

She scared the frigging life out of me!

"Oh. My. God." Haley exclaimed, her heart rate slowly going back to normal. "Nathan… I mean Mr Scott…I am so glad it is you!" And before she could formulate what she was thinking she flung herself in his arms, embracing him in a tight hug.

What the hell?

Nathan had no clue on what was happening. One minute he was sitting in his office finally finally finishing the Humber Case, the one that he had spent weeks on. The next he was getting the shock of his life by opening his office door and being scared to death, the next…his PA…the girl who would not seem to get out of his head was flinging herself in his arms.

Was this real?

"Uuh Haley?" Nathan asked when Haley started to draw herself away from him. He was confused as hell.

It was at that moment when the situation seemed to make sense in Haley's mind. Oh shit Haley thought as she felt an increasingly warm blush form on her cheeks. I did not just do that? She then looked down at the floor and noticed the piles and piles of scattered papers everywhere. The Humber Case.

I am so fired.

"Oh god! Mr Scott, I am so sorry" Haley shrieked, more than embarrassed that she had behaved like that. She quickly knelt down on the floor and started to collect all the scattered pieces of paper. "This is all my fault, its just I forgot my purse and Mike let me up so I could quickly retrieve it…only he never told me anyone was working late so when I heard a noise in your office I started to freak."

Oh god, why did I scream like that?

"So then when you opened your office door like that I-"

"Screamed" Nathan finished starting to laugh at the situation "God Haley, do you know how much you scared me?"

Haley sat there wide eyed as she observed Nathan. He was hysterically laughing….

What?

"Umm" Haley stammered not knowing how to respond "Sorry" She meekly whispered trying her hardest to not notice the fact that Nathan was wearing glasses. Yes glasses. She hadn't seen him in glasses before.

He looks so hot in glasses. Oh god, shut up Haley, he may be just about to fire you, you don't want to be thinking passionate fantasies about your boss in glasses. GOD!

When Nathan was finally able to stop his laughter he knelt down on the floor to help her. "Don't worry abut it" He smiled, still finding the whole situation amusing. "I only have to re-organise all these files by tomorrow, it's no biggie" He teased, dragging out the only.

She looked different Nathan thought as finally had time to look at her. She wasn't in her work clothes which he thought always looked great on her and she wasn't in her party clothes that he had the pleasure of seeing her wear just over a month ago either. No, she was wearing a simple pear of skinny blue jeans and a casual beige button up jacket making her look breath taking.

Yes breath taking, and no Nathan wasn't about to mentally beat himself up for thinking of a sappy word to describe her; he had got used to it, especially since it seemed to be doing so everyday. Pansy. Okay, so maybe he did give himself some grieve every once in awhile.

"I really am sorry Mr Scott. I will help you go through them" Haley propositioned "I mean I know it was really stupid of me to scare you like that, and believe me I didn't do it intentionally, but I will do anything for you not to sack me…this job is really good for class and if I do get fired then-"

Haley was cut off by Nathan's voice "Haley, I am not going to fire you! What ever gave you the crazy idea of that?" Nathan asked finding the thought of firing her injudicious.

Haley was taken back my Nathan's voice "Oh well umm, I just figured since I…you know…scared you and made you drop all the files you have worked so hard on all night…I thought you would be mad at me" Oh god why do I always act like a nervous bumbling boob around him?

"Haley" Nathan smiled standing up from the ground and extending an arm out for her to take "Does me laughing give the same effect as me being mad?" He asked…the most gorgeous grin on his face.

Haley slowly shook her head "No but-"

Nathan interrupted her "Look, Haley please don't worry about it okay? It is not going to take long to go through them all again, and if you help, like you just so generously offered to do so, it's going to take even less time…And hey, since its already 10.00 o'clock, I may even be nice and buy you dinner…what do you say?"

YESS!!!!
