Pretend Love - Chapter 6
Luke's P.O.V
I was trying to think of an idea to get Hailey to play along with my plan, but an idea eluded me. It couldn't be that hard to get her to go with it, but she didn't want money and obviously didn't like the idea of dating me. There had to be something she wanted, but what?
I had to think of something fast, this new lifestyle I'm putting up for my father is really starting to annoy me. I cannot go on like this till the day he retires, it's going to kill me.
Hailey's P.O.V
It was almost time to leave for the restaurant. Henry had invited Jane and I to join the guy's for a meal. I wanted so desperately not to go, but Jane would never go alone and she was so excited to see Jonathan again. After yesterday I really wasn't in the mood to see that jerk; Luke. All I could do was hope that he wouldn't be there.
I was relieved to see that his car was nowhere in sight in the parking lot, but that mood crashed as soon as we walked in and I saw him sitting at the table.
"Hello girls, glad to see you made it. Hailey. Beautiful as always." Luke nodded in my direction.
"Hey guys."
Luke pulled out a seat for me next to him, but I ignored it and sat next to Henry. I tried avoiding a conversation with Luke most of the night and was relieved when he got the picture.
I had a lovely time and waved goodbye at Jane, who was going to a sun downer with Jonathan.
"Hailey, wake up." I heard Luke shout when I was about to get into my car. I sighed.
"What do you want?"
"I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I know you must be thinking I'm a total jackass, but..."
"You got that right."
He sighed and then continued.
"I didn't want to upset you. I was just desperate to get my father to think I've changed."
"To THINK you've changed? Luke, I like your father, I would never lie to him. And why would I help you deceive him, it's wrong. He is your father. He just wants the best for you. I don't understand exactly what's going on, but if your father wants you to change, it's probably for the best. You're a jerk."
"I can say the same for you. You're not that nice either, you just called me a jerk to my face."
"I don't have to be nice to you, you started it. You called me a prude when you didn't even know me, but hey, you've never known a girl. It's too hard for you to have a conversation with one for more than three seconds and usually that three seconds conversation is about you."
"Well you are one, I'm sure of it and look who's talking, you can't tell me I don't actually talk to girls. You don't even know Me."
"Oh I'm a pretty good judge of character." I said opening my car door and just before I got in.
"Oh and what was that girl's name from last night at the bar?"
He was silent then looked confused. He was just about to answer, but I got in my car and shut the door. I opened the window.
"Bye Luke!"
Luke's P.O.V
Okay that did not work out as planned. I wanted to make her think I was really sorry that's why I apologized, but I couldn't stay nice to her, she just gets to me. I had to try again. She needs to think that she's wrong about me, this is going to be hard.
