Chapter Three

Brooke came to pick me up and we headed to the mall. "Okay, so we both want something sexy, but not fancy. For you I suggest something black and I think red would be best for me," Brooke said as we entered the mall.

I smiled at her. "Yes, we do look good in black and red," I replied. "So, I'm counting on you to find the perfect dress, Brookie. You always know what looks best on me!"

She grinned back. "It's good that you can finally admit that! I mean, I totally knew you'd be a hot cheerleader!" she said and I laughed.

We searched for hours and hours. I tried on every black dress Brooke could find and we just couldn't find the right one. Brooke had found her dress in the second store we went to. "let's go into one last store, Haley. This time, we're not looking for black. We're looking for anything that will look fabulous on you!" Brooke explained and she drug me into the store. I looked at a few dresses, but nothing I liked. I heard Brooke gasp. She pushed me into the dressing room and threw a black dress at me.

I put it on and then looked in the mirror. I gasped. "Brooke, it's perfect!" I exclaimed.

I heard her clap her hands. "Come out and let me see it!"

I shook my head. "No, you're going to have to wait until tomorrow night!" I replied and quickly changed. I stepped out and she was pouting. "Come on, Brooke, you'll love the surprise!"

She smiled. "I already know you look amazing in that dress, Tutorgirl. I pictured it in my mind before I let you try it on!"

I laughed. "Are you having fantasies about me?" I joked and she glared. "Next time you're having sex with Lucas, you're gonna think about me!"

She gasped. "Haley!"

I just gave her an innocent look. "What? Now you really are? Or are you just going to… Brooke yourself?" I joked.

She pushed me. "Shut up, Haley!" she turned a slight shade of pink.

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen Brooke Davis blush!" I exclaimed.

"Shut up and go pay for that dress, Haley!" She laughed and I did as I was told.

We left the mall and went back to my apartment where we found Nathan and Lucas. "Hey, girls," Luke said, kissing Brooke. "Did you find outfits for tomorrow night?"

Brooke grinned at me and then nodded at the boys. "Yes, we did, but Haley refused to let me see her in her dress!" she pouted.

Nathan stood up and wrapped his arms around me. "Why wouldn't you let her see you, Hales?" he asked, a smile on his face.

I smiled back. "Because it's a surprise! I mean, she picked it out so at least she knows what it looks like!" I explained.

He tried taking the bag from my hand but I swatted it away. "Hales! I don't even get to see the dress?" he begged.

I leaned up and kissed him lightly. "I don't want to make you fantasise about me in the dress before you actually see me in it," I explained and winked at Brooke. "One person fantasizing about me in it is enough!"

Brooke groaned. "Haley, you know what I meant!" she whined.

Nathan and Lucas laughed. "What is going on?" Luke asked.

I smiled at him. "Oh, nothing, just don't get mad if she screams out my name when you have sex," I said and smiled sweetly at Brooke.

She glared and set down her bag. "That's it!" she exclaimed and started to chase me around the apartment.

She finally gave up after 10 minutes of chasing. "It's about time, Brookie! You know you'll never be able to catch me," I teased her. She was lounging on the couch, exhausted. I stood in the doorway, a few feet from her.

"Shut up, Haley," she muttered.

I laughed. "You know I'm just kidding, right Brooke?" I asked.

She laughed as well. "Yes, Haley, relax," she replied and I went to sit by her. The guys were engrossed in a football game. "So, are you all ready for tomorrow? Are you nervous?"

I sighed. "Yes, I am," I replied. "Like really nervous."

She smiled at me, letting her dimples show. "His parents are going to love you, Haley, trust me," she said.

I shook my head. "I don't know, Brooke. I mean, maybe his dad, but his mom? I mean, mothers have a thing about giving their son away to some girl!"

"Then she'll hate me, too, cause I'm taking Lucas away from her!" Brooke reasoned.

"You aren't engaged to him, are you?" I asked and she shook her head. "Well, then his mother won't feel threatened by you, Brooke! She's going to pick out all my flaws and then she'll make everyone hate me!" I whispered so Lucas and Nathan wouldn't hear.

"Is that really what you think, Tutorgirl?" Brooke asked in a soft tone. I nodded. "Don't worry so much, Haley. Hell, she'll probably be so happy that Nathan's not going to be with millions of different girls the rest of his life!"

I shook my head and groaned. "I changed my mind; I don't want to go out to dinner anymore!" I said loudly.

"What's up with her?" I heard Lucas say.

"Nothing!" I yelled.

Brooke shook her head. "She's having doubts about meeting the family," she said before I could stop her.

"Hales, I thought we went over this," Nathan started. "You have nothing to worry about, baby!"

I sighed. "Easy for you to say! You met my family and they loved you!" I said.

He motioned for me to come and sit with him. I stood and sat on his lap. "What makes you think my parents aren't going to love you as much as Larry and Peyton loved me?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Because I'm not charming like you," I mumbled. "You just waltzed right in and gave them your Scott smirk and they loved you. I don't have anything like that!" I pouted.

He laughed. "You seriously worry about the littlest things! Haley, I'm telling you right now, my parents are going to love you, okay?"

I sighed. "Maybe you're right, but let's just say your wrong," he crossed his arms and nodded. "Well, then what happens? I mean, if your parents hate me then what am I supposed to do? They are your parents!"

He smiled. "Do you think that I'm going to leave you if my parents don't like you, which is extremely unlikely in the first place?" he asked.

I nodded. "I guess what that's about," I replied. "You mean everything to me, Nate, and I just don't want to lose you if I don't impress your parents."

He pulled me into a hug. "Baby, maybe we just shouldn't have this dinner. You're reading into it too much and it's making you doubt yourself and how amazing your truly are."

I shook my head, pulling back. "No! We're going to this dinner and I will stop worrying about it. I mean, you're right, it's just dinner," I said.

He smiled. "Good, I'm glad we got that cleared up," he replied and pulled me back into his embrace.

"Yeah, me too," I mumbled into his chest.

review please! It means sooooo much to me!
