Okay guys, sorry it took so long, I've been having writer block like whoa, especially with the beginning of this chapter, But it flowed out slowly and I pieced it all together. And I do admit, I write small chapters, but it's just how it flows from me. Soooooo I'll let you guys enjoy your reading
DON'T FORGET, THERE IS A 'LIKE' PAGE ON FACEBOOK... it's called "Hayley with a Chance"... and if you want, go Friend "Hayley Bainbrige" and "Cori Douglas", you can find them through the 'like' page.
"Happy" - Leona Lewis (Amazing song BTW... a great 'Hayley' song)
Hayley and Sterling sat on the edge of his bed, she with her phone in her hand and he was leaned over, rubbing his forehead.
"So, how are we going to do this?" Hayley asked, setting her phone down and looking at Sterling.
"What do you mean?" he looked up at her, a quizzical look on his face
"I mean, are we together?" she looked at him, searching his eyes for an answer, "Or is it just a fling, that we could forget?"
"do you wanna be together?" He rubbed his hands, "Cause I wouldn't mind being able to call you my girlfriend."
"I just... I don't want to be hurt again." She stuttered.
"Hales, You know I would never do such a thing." He turned to face her, "Everything about you is so fucking beautiful, I wouldn't want to ruin that."
She blushed slightly, "Do you think we could do this? Do you think we could actually be a couple?"
"Only if you want to." He looked at her, that infamous smile forming across his face.
"Can we keep it secret?" She said quietly.
"Secret?" He laughed, "Do you think we could do that? Wouldn't it be obvious if we held hands and kissed in public?"
"We won't do anything like that in public, We'll keep that image of being 'just friennd', and not be thrust into the spotlight."
"Fine." He smiled, "so we're together..." he leaned in and kissed her tenerly on the lips, "...I like this, this is nice."
"Well I should go home now you think?"
"Want me to go with you?." he took her hand in his.
"No, I think I'm good... we can't be obvious, remember?" She kissed him on his cheek, "But you can lead me to your door."
Hayley made it home safely, remembering her night, headed to the front door of the house with a smile spread across her face. She opened the door to her house to see her dad standing two feet away from the door. "No call, No text... you had me worried." and that smile quickly vanished
"Sorry dad, I hung out with Sterling last night and time got the better of me, I ended up crashing on his couch."
"You know a call would have been nice."
"I know dad, I know." she said as she headed to the stairs to go up to her room.
"So, what did you do over at his place last night?" He asked following behind, "Did you, well, ehem, do anything?"
She turned around quickly, "Ew, Dad. No, we talked I haven't seen him in a while and it was good to hang out."
"Well," He started, "That smile you had across your face as you headed inside said otherwise."
She looked at him confused, "What do you mean by that? I was just happy that I got to hangout." she continued in the direction of her room.
"Well, are you dating him then?"He asked, she then froze in her tracks, "Am I right? You guys are together?"
she turned around slowly. "How do you do that?"
"Figure out things?" he approached his daughter, "Hun, it's my Job." Her face instantly turned a bright color of red. "So, When do I get to talk to this Sterling again... since now he's more than a friend?"
"Well, if you want, I can see if he can come over tonight?"
"Do that will you?" He patted Hayley's back.
Hayley dialed an all too familiar number of a voice she hadn't heard in ages. It rang once before the other side picked up.
"So, Sterling told me everything." Cori said quickly
"A hello would've been nice... and everything?"
"Hello, and yes... lucky you, I just got off the phone with him."
"What is this hidden friendship between you two?"
"BFFs of Hayley Bainbridge got to keep in contact with each other."
"Wow, you two are special." Hayley laughed, "So, when did you two exchange numbers?"
"About an hour before you two were leaving wichita to come back here."
"So talking behind my back?"
"In a way, yes." She said with a small laugh.
"So, with this everything you heard about Da-"
"David? Yes. Why didn't you call me and talk to me, He could've done so much worse stuff to you."
"I know, I know Cori." She stopped her from continuing, scared of what else she might say about him.
"So, should I wish you and Sterling a happy 2 hour anniversary?" She said being straight forward.
Hayley stifled a laugh, "If you want... speaking of anniversary, isn't you and Corbin's 6 months approaching"
"Inching close, only two more weeks. He called me last night and said that he might get me a plane ticket by the end of the March."
"Oooo, I get to see my Cori... and you know what comes after the end of March?"
"Your 21st on April 1st, you know I wouldn't forget that!"
"Oh, and the 2nd is Kids Choice Awards... Would you like to be my date?"
"Oh hell yeah, so you and Sterling can keep it on the DL." She laughed, "See, I listen."
