For the past few days ever since Haley gotten a text from David, the one about asking to go to dinner with him and to talk, she has been debating on if she should go through with it or not. She also been debating on if she should tell Nathan or not. But then Haley realizes why would she have to tell him about her dinner with her ex, it's not like they are actually in a relationship or anything like that. True they went out on a date and they did end up sleeping together, but that was only once and they haven't been on another date since then or even in the same bed either. So, why does Haley have to tell Nathan anything? It's not like he's her boyfriend or anything. Haley exhales deeply as she ran her fingers through her hair as she got up from her bed and walked out of her room and headed into the kitchen.
" I thought you would be at the store." Haley said as she noticed Brooke sitting at the counter. She then walked over to the coffee machine and poured herself some coffee.
" I am on my way there now actually. So, have you decided what you gonna do about David yet?"
Haley sighs deeply as she walked up to the counter and set her cup down after she took a drink from it." No, I am still debating on if I should go or not."
" What about telling Nathan?"
Haley just shrugged her shoulders." I don't yet. I mean part of me wants to tell him and I know I should tell him. But again I'm thinking why should I tell him. It's not like we are officially together or anything." Which was true and as matter of fact Haley isn't quite sure what's really going on between her and Nathan, mostly since he hasn't been around much lately and she knows it's because of his job.
" Well, you do have two days to think about it and make a decision." Brooke said as she got up and walked over to the sink and set her cup into the sink." I am gonna go to the store now. Milly should be there with my new model."
" Oh yeah, the actress. Alex Dupri right?" Haley asked as she took another drink of her coffee. She remembered Brooke telling her about getting an famous actress to do some modeling for her new clothing line.
" That's the one, why don't you come by later and check her out."
" I just might do that."
Brooke nods her head as she threw the strap of her purse over her shoulder and grabs her keys off of the counter." Sounds good. I will see you later." Brooke said as she walked out of the front door and closed the door behind her.
After Brooke left, Haley breathes deeply as she looked around the kitchen. After she finished her coffee, Haley walked over to the sink and got started on the dishes. About twenty minutes later after Haley was done, she headed down the hall into her bedroom. Walking towards her closet, Haley grabbed a pair of jeans and a yellow skinny strap tank top to go with it. Once she pulled out a pair of matching bra and panties from her top drawer. Haley walked out of the room and into the bathroom.
Walking into her store, Brooke noticed her assistant Milly standing right next to her new model who she's assuming is Alex Dupri. Brooke took a deep breath as she walked up to her." Hi there, you must be Alex Dupri. Welcome to Tree Hill. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Brooke Davis." Brooke said as she extends her hand out.
Alex nods her head with a huge grin on her face as she shook Brooke's hand." Yeah, I know who you are. I absolutely love your clothes. I wear them, like all the time."
" Awe well thank you. I hope your flight went well." Brooke said as she let go of Alex's hand.
" Oh it was, I am just little tired. You know jet lag and all." Alex said with a giggle." I was hoping to get some sleep before my photo shoot today."
" Oh, yeah of course. My photographer won't be here until little later today anyways. Hey, Milly can you take Alex back to her hotel?" Brooke asked as she looked over at Milly.
Milly nods her head." Of course, come on Alex." She said as she leads Alex out of the door.
Brooke turned around and walked up to Julian was leaning against the counter the whole time just watching." So, what do you think of my new model? Isn't she great?" Brooke asked with a huge grin on her face.
" Yeah, she seems alright. But she's not great as you." Julian responded as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulls her closer to him." I gotta go. My dad is waiting for me, I am meeting him for lunch."
" Are you coming back later?" Brooke asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
" That all depends on long this meeting with my dad is gonna be. But I will try to make it on time before the photo shoot." Julian said as he leans down and kisses her quickly as he let's her go and walked out of the store.
Brooke took another deep breath as she turned around and went into the back to check on the inventory. Today's photo shoot needs to go perfect. Brooke can't afford anything to screw up. This new clothing line is the future for Clothes over Bros and it's Brooke's future.
In the middle of checking inventory, Brooke heard the bell above the door ring." Oh great, my photographer is here." She said as she walked back towards the front." Thanks for-." Brooke started to say but suddenly stopped when the last person she ever expected to walk into her store.
" What are you doing here?"
" Is that how you greet your own mother?"
Brooke scoffed as she shook her head." I got a very busy day a head of me. So, I got no time for games. Why are you here, Victoria?" Brooke asked again.
" I heard you hired a famous actress to model for the new clothing line and I thought I would come by and check her out." Victoria responded as she walked up the counter and set her purse down.
" This new clothing line is very important to me, it's the future of this company and I will not let you screw this up for me, mother."
" Is that what you really think of me? Brooke I wouldn't dream of screwing this up for you." Victoria responded with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
" Whatever, just stay out of my way today." Brooke said as she scoffed and rolled her eyes as she walked away from Victoria. Brooke knows there's another reason why Victoria is in Tree Hill, but she doesn't have time to worry about that right now. She already have enough on her plate so she will deal with her estranged mother later.
