Hailey Jordan

It's been a week Brant had been ignoring me. He doesn't answer my phone call not reply my text message. I pretend not to care but I'm dying inside. I tried to refrain myself not to asked Dylan about him.. but.. I can't wait one more day for him to contact me..

Okay Hailey! Enough! If he's ignoring you then let him be.. Huh! I don't want to care anymore.

"Hey.. my wife birthday today and I'm gonna make a little surprise for her tonight. I'm gonna make a little barbeque on my back yard. You wanna came in? You never meet her personally don't you?" Dylan asked me when we're on the way back home. He just pick me up from the airport while Jay had something to be done with my schedule next week.

"Yes.. Okay.. can you just drop me to the florist before we get there? I wanna buy something for her. What kind of flowers she'd like?"

"She really like a white rose."

"Perfect.. we're going to the florist before we get to your house okay."

"Hows Paris?" Dylan asked.

"Hmm.. as usual.. work.. meeting.. conference.. glad to have two days break from Jay.. He's given me headache so much." I chuckled and Dylan laughing.

"Hope that girl doesn't give you so much trouble."

"No.. he helps me a lot for not too much thinking about.."

"Hailey.. are you okay?" I look at the rearview mirror while Dylan asked me.

"Hmmm.. yeah.. I'm good" Smile Hailey..

When we arrived, I took a big bouquet of white roses and get in with Dylan. I see someone has just be there in their kitchen.

"Hello Brenda.. nice to meet you dear.. come here.. It's Hailey."

"Oh.. Hi... you're so beautiful.. really..I'm brenda"

"Hi.. I'm Hailey."

"She's Brant's friend and I invited her to come here. Brant will come in a minutes with my wife." I hold the roses tightly in my embrace. By hearing his name my heart race increasing.. Ohh! How can I meet him after the night at Patio.. calm down Hailey...

And I heard a car has just parked while Dylan hold the cakes and Brenda and me standing beside him.

A old lady open the door.

"Surprise... Happy birthday honey.." Dylan said and kiss her wife.

I can't help myself not to staring at him while he just hold a two years old boy in his arms.

"Happy birthday Marie.." Brenda said and hug her.

"Oh.. honey.. I came back from the airport directly and bring Hailey with me.. You never meet her personally right? Hailey, This my beautiful wife, Marie.. and baby this is Hailey."

"Hi Mrs. Rhaegan, nice to meet you and Happy birthday to you.." I gave the rose and hug her. I could feel two pair of blue eyes glued on me.

"Oh.. dear.. you're so beautiful.. even more beautiful than I see on the magazine, thank you for the roses." She's smile.

"No worries.." I smile.

"Come one, can we have a little barbeque now? Cause I'm hungry." Dylan said and lead us to the back yard.

"Mommy..." I see that little boy come and run into Brenda.

"Can you help me dear?" Marie asked.

"Oh yes..."

"We can make a salad here, and this is the dressing and we just have to mixed them up.----" and I don't even hear what she said again cause I see Brenda hold that little boy while laughing with Brant. What are they? A little happy family? He's ignoring me again..

"Are you jelousy?"

"No.. why should I? He's not even my boyfriend." I still look at them.

"But you look angry?"

"Yes. I'm so pissed off.. He doesn't even reply my text or even answer my call.."

"Do you like him?"

"Yes.. I tell him straight away." DUH! I take a look at Marie in horror while she's laughing.

Came on Hailey... can you please for once not to embarrassing yourself? Oh! Nice!

"He's a good man.. Believe me.."

"hmm.. I don't even believe it.. not meant I don't believe you but I don't believe he's a good man.." I smile awkwardly.

"I see the way he look at you."

"He's not even look at me." I said.

"No... He looked at you but you didn't notice it. I knew him better than himself." Then I see him laughing together with Brenda. Oh... I think I can't be here a little bit longer.. Okay.. just focus with your salad Hailey.

"I'm gonna get the steak okay? I let you in charge with these, is it okay?"

"Okay.. I'll do my best." I smile and just rearrange the table.

Who is she? And two years old son? Is it his son? Oh My God! What am I even thinking!!!!

"Hey.. what are you doing?" I startled and almost let the salad bowl fall down from my hands.

"leave me alone." I said and put the bowl on the table.

"Hey.. why so cranky?" and I look at him. He just came to me and ask me why so cranky?

"What?" he said with his straight countenance. I get the glass and start pouring the wine on the table.

"Oh.. you just ignoring me this time?"

"Can you just said it to yourself?" I said.

"I... I just need a time to think..." as easy to said for him.

"Think? What are you thinking about?" I asked.

"You."
