Cross- Roads:- What To Choose Love Or Friendship 31 Wait A Lifetime

Fundraiser was a success, at least that what had been told to Hayley by her senior. Hayley again lining up the kids to board the bus which was there to take them back to the Faith. While lining them up Hayley was talking to their caretaker when one of the girl among the kids named Tina, broke the line and ran towards someone and when Hayley saw who that person was, she froze for one fine moment. Tina reached to Aaron and hugged his one leg and then Aaron scooted her up and walked towards Hayley and other children all of them greeted him "h.e.l.lo! Uncle Aaron." Aaron smiled and asked them how had they been and all that, while he was talking to them, he had a smile on his face which brought a look of content on his face. " You know Aaron Uncle, Hayely taught us how to dance" said Tina. There was a look of amazement in his eyes, he didn't knew that Hayley could dance. When he looked towards her for confirmation he saw her looking everywhere except at him. So she is avoiding me now, he thought. "And she is going to give us dance cla.s.ses for this coming Sunday" added another boy from the group. This time Aaron looked straight at Hayley and this time he caught her attention and asked her "Is that so?" Hayley could say that he was asking her a question so she just nodded. Before Aaron could ask more the bus had arrived and Hayley started to instruct children to board the bus. They both stood there until bus was out of the sight and then Hayley turned to leave and then she heard Aaron clears his throat and her steps halted. Aaron wanted to apologize for his past behaviors and he wanted to do it as soon as possible but now he could see that Hayley was trying to stay far away from him and that making it difficult for him to apologize but it was not her fault because he knew it was he who pushed her away. It was an awkward situation they both were standing there in complete silence, looking at everywhere except each other. Hayley wanted to run but then she didn't want to disrespect this guy because she knew that maybe this guy was mean to her but he was very good friend to Keith and the silence prolonged in between them but then somebody came into Hayley's rescue like knight in shining armour, Caleb. " h.e.l.lo there guys, what's up" asked Caleb. With Caleb around Aaron dropped his idea to apologize to Hayley. Aaron looked at Hayley and then he looked towards Caleb and said " I'll be leaving first. I have a business to attend to" and with that Aaron left leaving Hayley and Caleb behind. " If everything is over here then I'll drop you home" stated Caleb nonchalantly. Hayley just shook her head and said " I have things to wrap up you leave first, I'll take cab." " How much time you wrapping up the things going to take" asked Caleb. " About an hour or so" said Hayley and to that Caleb replied " I will wait, go finish things up and meet me at the parking" and with that Caleb started to walk towards the parking and Hayley shouted " there is no need of that." To that Caleb just waved his hand to her and said " One hour Hayley Phillips, one hour" and he didn't stop a bit and Hayley went towards the auditorium smiling. 'One hour is nothing I can wait for you for a lifetime, Hayley, if you just allow me' thought Caleb while walking towards his car.
