A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! They put a big ol' smile on my face :D
Hope everyone likes this chapter. It's a bit shorter then I was hoping for, but ah well.
Enjoy and review!
Bella thought she looked presentable, but when she let Mia into her apartment at 6 on Sunday evening, she found out she was very, very wrong.
"Girl…what are you…wearing?" Mia asked, her face scrunched up in a look of disgust. Bella frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "Clothes," she huffed, causing Mia to roll her eyes.
"Perhaps in 2002 they were," Mia snapped. "Let's take a look in your closet."
"I think I look fine," Bella said as she looked down at her white turtleneck sweater and long khaki skirt. "It's conservative."
Mia had already found her way into Bella's bedroom. "Girl please," she said as she began to examine the contents of Bella's closet. "You look like fucking Hermione Granger." She paused. "Damn, you sure like your plaid don't you?" She yanked out a brown cami, followed by a purple flannel shirt that Renee had gotten for Bella a couple of months ago. "Put those on, then a pair of jeans and some flats or something. Also, burn that skirt."
Bella thrust a hand in Mia's direction. "Okay, you're still in your Moe's t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Why am I the one who needs to change outfits?"
"Because I'm going on a date with an asexual guy so I don't really give a shit if my clothes are cute. Besides, my hair looks fantastic," she said as she gestured to her shoulder length coffee colored hair. "Now get into those clothes. I told Embry to pick us up at 6:30."
Grumbling, Bella obeyed.
"Lookin' good ladies," Embry said as he stepped into Bella's apartment at 6:30 on the dot.
"Yeah, whatever," muttered Mia from the couch. She was searching through the channels on the television lazily. "I still have no idea why I'm coming to begin with."
"To spice things up," Embry answered. He turned to Bella. "So apparently Jacob wants us to go to this like, sports bar place. It's called Levi's or something."
Mia made a squeaking noise from the couch which both Bella and Embry chose to ignore.
"Yeah, I've only been there once. They have just classic American food. Oh, and their mac and cheese is ballin."
"I'm won't be focusing too much on the food Embry," Bella pointed out as she grabbed her purse from the coat rack in her small entryway. "I'll be a little more concerned with Jacob and um…Haley."
"I think you guys should get into a bitch slap fight," Mia suggested as she turned off the t.v and stretched out her arms. "It would make this already boring night exciting to be honest."
They took Mia's Honda because apparently Bella's truck was too shitty for Mia and Embry to be seen getting out of. Bella fumed in the back seat because of this.
Levi's Sports Bar and Grill was located just a mile outside of Forks, but somehow Bella had kept managing to miss it during the entire time she had lived there. A wood carved grizzly bear holding a beer in one paw and a burger in the other greeted them at the front entrance.
"I hate this place," Mia groaned.
"How would you know, you've never been here before," Embry said.
"As a matter of fact I have," Mia answered softly. Bella was surprised to see that she looked worried.
Bella! And um, Mia and Embry!" Jacob scooped Bella up into his arms as he greeted them, gave her a little spin and then set her gently back on the ground. They didn't let go of each other's arms and just when their fingers were about to intertwine—
"Hi guys."
Jacob immediately pulled away from her and turned toward Haley, who was wearing a denim skirt and a tank top. Her slim shoulders and arms were exposed and suddenly Bella wished that she herself was wearing daisy dukes, a tube top and hooker heels because then Jacob wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off of her instead of this skanky bitch—
Her sudden vehemence surprised her, and, knowing she was blushing, she turned and skidded over to Embry who was trying to hide his laughter behind his hand.
"Bella, you have this 'Destroy the girlfriend!' look on your face!"
Bella had no doubt that she did.
A moment later Quil walked up, twirling his car keys around a finger. "Sorry I'm late, had to babysit Claire a little bit longer than I anticipated. You must be Mia." He reached out a hand to Mia, who shook it dully. "Hello," she said lamely.
"You guys, I'm hungry," Haley called. And with that, everyone turned and walked inside Levi's.
Twenty minutes later and their waiter had yet to introduce himself.
"This service sucks," Mia announced, and everyone muttered in agreement. "Bella," she continued, "let this be a learning experience. You pull this bullshit on any of our customers at Moe's and I will fire your ass—"
"Hello everyone, my name is Sebastian and I will be your waiter this evening. I'm terribly sorry for the wait but our cook was caught in a compromising position and—Mia? What the hell are you doing here?"
Everyone's head swiveled in Mia's direction. She was eyeing Sebastian with embarrassment, a deep flush forming across her face. "Well, I wasn't sure if you would be here or not and this is where everyone else wanted to go—"
"We had an agreement," Sebastian growled as he threw his pen down. It ricocheted off the table and hit Embry in the nose.
"Well excuse me for attempting to have a social life unlike some people I know—"
"I need you to get out of this restaurant now!"
Mia had flown from her seat at their table and was now standing right in front of Sebastian and was pointing her finger at his chest. "Why don't you pull the stick out of your ass and do your job and serve my friends and I since we are your customers—"
"We had an agreement Mia, I wouldn't come into Moe's and you would stay out of Levi's!" Sebastian shouted.
"That was four years ago you prick!"
Jacob had grabbed Bella's cellphone and was quietly filming the whole ordeal.
Suddenly Sebastian reached out and grabbed Mia's arm. She let out a hiss of pain. Embry shot out of his seat like a rocket and Jacob was right on his heels.
Jacob grabbed Mia and pulled her away from Sebastian before she could cause him any damage and Embry yanked Sebastian out the front door by his collar so he could cause him some damage.
Haley groaned. "Why do they have to act so irrational? They're not wolves twenty four seven." She got out of her seat and followed Embry, Mia and Jacob out the door.
Bella froze. So she knew that they were wolves then. A bitter disappointment began to set in her stomach. Because if Haley knew that Jacob was a werewolf then…
…this was more serious then she had thought.
By the time Bella and Quil got up and followed everyone else outside, Embry had given Sebastian a black eye and was lecturing him on 'why we don't grab women like that'.
Ten minutes later, after having the manager ask them to leave and politely tell them never to come back to Levi's again, they pulled onto the sandy parking lot next to First Beach.
"Mia, are you sure you don't want me to get ice for your wrist?" Embry asked as they all climbed out of Mia's Honda.
"No. He grabbed my wrist, he didn't snap it in half," she growled. She was still seething. Jacob and Haley walked towards them from Jacob's Rabbit, and now it was Bella's turn to seethe when she saw Haley slip her hand into Jacob's back pocket.
Skanky, no good, fake, should be my hand going down Jacob's pants—
She jumped when Embry wrapped his arm around her waist. She looked up at him and he winked at her. Then, in a flash he bent down and kissed her square on the mouth. Bella was so surprised she forgot to wish it was Jacob kissing her.
Jacob froze mid step, his eyes narrowing as Embry pulled his head away from Bella's. He pushed himself away from Haley and began to walked ahead of everyone.
"Embry!" Bella hissed.
"Aww, be a trooper Bella." He said with a laugh, giving her a pat on the back. "Trust me, you'll thank me."
"Guess what you guys!" Quil was trotting up to them, a victorious smile plastered on his face. He held up two bottles of tequila. "It's officially a party."
