First Date (1)

That evening, Halsey knocks on Charlotte’s door. Lincoln is at basketball practice (Nathan skipped it as usual) so the coast is clear. Halsey is still not ready to tell him about her new relationship with Nathan but she doesn’t want to hide it for long. But what about Nathan’s expectations? She sadly wonders. So there’s only one person who can explain this to her.“Hey Hales,” Charlotte greets her. “What’s up?”“Charlotte, I need your help,” Halsey moans. “I…I talked to Nathan about my feelings for him.”“Really?” Charlotte is a little impressed by Halsey’s change in attitude and has to admit that being around Nathan is making the girl bolder. “What did he say?” She asks.“He likes me as well,” Halsey says sheepishly.“That’s great!” Charlotte squeals. “So, are you two dating? Tell me everything!”“You can’t tell Lincoln yet!” Halsey begs. “He still doesn’t like Nathan and I wanna patch them up before I tell him anything about this-”“Scout’s Honor!” Charlotte promises. “So what do

First Date (2)

Nathan snickers at her.“Mac n’ Cheese?” He chuckles. “I can make other stuff, ya know! Steak, burgers-”“But I like Mac n’ Cheese,” Halsey murmurs, feeling crestfallen. It’s a simple dish but she loves anything with cheese in it, especially Mac n’ Cheese.“Fine!” Nathan groans. He was planning to cook something elaborate for her but he is puzzled by her simple request. Taking out a pan, he boils some water and starts to cook. Halsey watches him in wonder, her eyes gaping at his hidden talent.“You never said you like to cook!” She frowns. “I cook for myself most of the time,” he shrugs. “What about the maids or servants?” Halsey inquires. Surely a mansion that big should have a few household staff, right?“There aren’t any,” Nathan reveals. “It’s just me. I’ve been cooking since I was twelve.”Halsey is surprised. He’s been cooking all along? Why?“What about your dad? Does he cook?”Nathan’s jaw hardens at the mention of his dad. Halsey doesn’t understand why he’s so cold towards

First Date (3)

Halsey releases herself from his embrace and strides over to his desk. There are a few law books on it which intrigues her. Nathan is slightly embarrassed, not wanting anyone to find out about it but Halsey was bound to find out anyway.“Yeah…I just thought I’d look into them,” he says trying to sound nonchalant but Halsey smiles at him.“You’re interested in law?” She asks as she flips through the book.“I was kicked out of the basketball team so I thought that I’d need a backup plan!” He grumbles. “And you…you told me that day that I might make a good lawyer so I thought I’d just check it out. Then I started reading a bit and got interested so I ended up studying a lot more.”Suddenly Halsey begins to connect the dots as she recalls how Nathan had read the books in their literature class and also realized that he had been taking school work a lot more seriously than before.Nathan’s ears turn red and he looks away. He’s embarrassed to show this serious side of himself. Ever since Ha

Nelson nods in a stiff manner but doesn’t comment while the other team mates marvel at Lincoln’s abilities.“If you keep playing like this, we might actually win the next championship!” Chad exclaims.Lincoln is flushed at his success but inwardly, he’s also sulking at his loss at the interstate championship. The defeat was humiliating to him even if the points were close. He wanted to win and gloat in front of Nathan. For years, he has seen Nathan being the center of attention but now, Lincoln wants the glory. He deserves it.“If you can keep your head in the game, then we have a chance to win,” Nelson comments. “Coach, we’re trying!” Lincoln protests. “The team-”“Is demoralized.”Everyone turns around to find Nathan standing there. He’s wearing his j

The Announcement

“Hales, you look lost!” Lincoln’s voice brings Halsey out of her reverie. She’s startled and gapes at him. They’re at the library where Lincoln was talking but Halsey is barely paying attention. “The captaincy is gonna be announced today!” He exclaims. “Aren’t you excited for me?” “Oh, yes!” Halsey smiles. “I’m really happy for you.” She’s sincere with her words. Seeing Lincoln happy makes her happy as well but Nathan’s actions are still bothering her. Ever since he admitted his withdrawal to her, she can’t help thinking if she’s responsible for his decision. She tried to ask him during their date last night but he avoided the topic. “It’s gonna feel so good to see the smirk being wiped off of Jacobs’ face!” Lincoln claims. “I know how badly he wants this but the rest of the team isn’t happy with him, especially after he got himself kicked out before the interstate championship. They blame him for the loss.” “But he wasn’t even there,” Halsey frowns. “Doesn’t matter. He was su

An Incident

The ball bounces on the ground, breaking the silence. A lone figure is dribbling the ball furiously and throws it towards the hoop. It bounces off, missing the target.“F*CK!” Lincoln curses. Sweat is rolling down his skin. He’s glistening under the dim light, his face contorted in an unimaginable fury. His head feels as if it’s burning as the rage within courses through his veins. He picks up the ball and throws it hard against the wall. “Lincoln?”Halsey’s voice reaches his ear but he doesn’t turn around. She’s standing behind him, worried. He got what he wanted but why is he so upset?“Lincoln, what happened?” She asks him. “You became the captain of the team! You should be happy!”Happy? She thinks he’s happy with what happened?“Where were you?” He asks quietly. “I was looking for you.”“Me? I was at the library for some urgent work.”Halsey hates lying but there’s nothing else to do. If Lincoln finds out that she’s dating Nathan, it’ll make him very angry. For some reason, her

A Proposition

Charlotte turns off the lights at the Lounge and steps outside. She locks the door behind her and turns around only to stop in her tracks.Daniel is standing there, waiting for her. He smiles at her widely but she doesn’t return the gesture.“What the hell are you doing here?” She demands. “I thought I made it clear to you that you and I are over!”She’s glaring at the man who played with her emotions but Daniel is unfazed.“Charlotte, both of us know that my marriage to Debra was a mistake,” he claims. “I’ve loved you-”“You’re a liar and a cheater!” Charlotte hisses. “I can’t trust you. Not only did you lie to me but you also hurt your wife! You can claim whatever you want but it’s the truth. Debra was naive but I’m not. I’m not gonna fall for your tricks again!”She’s about to turn away but Daniel grabs her hand.“Let me-” she begins but Daniel stops her.“I wanna meet my son,” he says.“You already have a son,” she points out. “Your son is Nathan and he’s at home, waiting for you.

Charlotte's Truth

A long silence ensues. Halsey is nervous while Lincoln tries to process her revelation. Charlotte approaches her son. “I’m sorry you had to find out this way,” she says gently. “But Halsey is really happy and she didn’t want to hurt you either. So she was waiting for the right time to tell you-” “You knew?” Lincoln whispers. “You knew about this?” Charlotte purses her lips. Halsey isn’t sure why but her hands are shaking and she recalls how Lincoln hit her with the ball when he was angry. Then she shrugs the thought away. That was an accident, she tells herself. He won’t hurt any of us. Lincoln doesn’t say anything for a while. For a moment, Charlotte and Halsey are relieved but in the next second, he picks up a glass and smashes it against a wall. Both the women are shocked and startled. Lincoln’s eyes are filled with a fury which they’ve never seen before.
