Chapter 2, is up! Enjoy;)
Chapter 2 Trio of Four
"Nate, this is Brooke and Haley, your bears", Lucas joked as Nathan gave him a look. The girls waved and then looked around awkwardly.
"We're headed to this cabin in the mountains, how about you?", Lucas asked, as the four simultaneously began walking down the road.
"We don't know actually", Brooke filled in, kicking a pebble with the tip of her shoe. Meanwhile Nathan kept sneaking tiny glances Haley's direction and it was starting to make her nervous. She was already attracted to him. His shiny black hair, ocean blue eyes, that charming smirk that never left his face, and the nice rippled muscles of his arms and chest just made her mouth melt. It didn't help that fantasies of him and her doing very naughty things popped into her mind.
"What happened to you guys? And why are you here?" Nathan curiously looked towards the two and in unison they replied, "it's a long story!"
"So I guess that means you're coming with us?", Lucas' voice was hopeful as Brooke and Haley looked at each other, then smiled.
"Yep!"
The four by now, had wandered off of the dirt road and into the forest of trees. Brooke was idly chatting away with Lucas, laughing here and there while causually drapping her arm around his shoulder and Haley knew she liked him. Nathan saw the perfect chance to talk to the blonde who his head--and something else--had been thinking about every since he saw her face and made his way to stand beside her.
"So, Brooke", he drawled and and Haley gave him a quizzical stare.
"I'm not Brooke", she corrected, "that'd be Brooke. I am Haley."
"Oh. Okay then Haley, how old are you?"
Haley just had to roll her eyes at the way Nathan brushed off his mistaken indentity of her without an apology and she realized as hot as he is, he must be an ass.
"How old do I look?"
Nathan took a moment to act like he was thinking, bringing his hand to his chin.
"Twelve?" She saw the gleam in his eyes and resisted the urge to roll her brown orbs.
"I'm sixteen."
"Well gosh, I'd never of guessed it", he replied. Yep he was an ass and a very infuriating one at that.
"Hey guys, look!", Brooke's voice yelled out and they followed the indication of her finger. They were now coming upon an unkept shack, nearly fallen down with a faded wooden boat planted next to it.
"Alright!" Nathan ran over to it, stopping at the boat before peeking his head into the small cubicle and taking out two paddles. He spotted a couple of fishing poles laid in the tall grass and threw them into the boat.
"Come on Luke, help me get it out there."
"What are you doing?", Haley asked.
"Going fishing, we need some food and we got to do it before it gets dark."
"So I guess that means were staying here for the night?", Brooke said, looking at the shake distastfully.
"You got a better idea?"
"Well anythings better thatn that."
Nathan laughed and looked to Brooke's glaring image.
"You could always sleep in the woods with the animals and if you're lucky, wake up with all your body parts", he said.
Brooke huffed, folding her arms over her chest and Nathan looked at them expectantly.
"What?"
"Get in."
"We all have to go?!"
"Yeah, if you're gonna eat, you're gonna help", Nathan smirked and Brooke stomped her foot. Haley sighed, grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the boat as Lucas helped them in. They rowed down the winding river slowly. It was the calm area of it and Nathan motioned for Lucas to stop rowing as he baited his pole and threw it out. Haley did the same with hers as Brooke looked on in agony.
"I got one!"
Nathan reeled in his line as it tugged roughly, a splash occuring as he fought the fish. When he managed to get it into the boat, he unhooked it and slammed it repeatedly against the side until it's flopping subsided and leisurely tossed it to the floor. Haley and Brooke looked horrified at what he did and Lucas shook his head at his brother. Even in the front of girls who probably loved every single living creature on earth--minus bugs--his brother didn't mind being blunt about things.
"We need some more like that", Nathan stated, "let's fish over there, that's where they are."
"What are you, a professional fisherman?", Brooke said agitatedly and Nathan smirked, that damn smirk she wanted to smack off of his face.
"Yeah I am."
"Oh yeah, then what kind of fish is that?", she challenged, pointing towards the huge blue, now deceased sea creature.
"Tha's a catfish. Anybody can see that", Nathan replied smartly.
"That is not a catfish", Haley broke in, giving Nathan a look that said he was full of shit, but he didn't back down, instead giving her a hard stare.
"What are you some kind of expert?"
"No, but I know that's not a catfish. Catfish aren't blue, they're dark brown with flat heads and whiskers, 'hence' why they're called catfish."
Nathan snorted and turned back around, grabbing the paddle to continue rowing. Brooke clapped excitedly, hugging her friend to her body.
"Go tutorgirl! You told him!"
Haley chuckled and Lucas, the quiet observer smiled, he had been waiting his whole life for Nathan to meet someone--more so a girl--who would stand up to his brother, they'd be a perfect match.
