I already had this chapter pretty much done. I hope you guys like it. I had an unusual time trying to get this one done. Not to mention I'm pretty sure it's my longest chapter yet. Anyways enjoy :)
Don't forget I added two chapters.
I own nothing. Stephanie Meyer does.
"So what were you girls fussing about at lunch today?" Seth quizzed me when we got home later that day.
"Oh just talking about girl stuff. I could tell you?" I offered with a smirk.
"Uhh no thank you." He quickly answered.
I laughed at his fear of feminine conversations.
"So what are you planning with the Anne girl and Tristan." He spoke slowly. He is not good at hiding his hatred towards Tristan. He's starting to sound like a four year old.
"Just a group date. Nothing to worry about." I responded.
"Then isn't there a boy missing?" He asked confused.
"That's the point." I answered quickly as I headed for the refrigerator.
I searched the fridge for a quick snack and ended up grabbing a sandwich my grandmamma left me. She knew me too well. Especially because she made like six, probably in case Seth decided he wanted some too.
I closed the door and found Seth staring me down.
"What?" I asked.
"Delilah what are you doing?" He asked as he stared me down.
"Nothing! Just helping love flourish." I defended.
"Delilah!" He yelled exasperated.
"Hey! Don't yell at me!" I yelled back.
He just stared me down.
"Are you jealous?" I asked with a smile.
"I'm not even going to say anything anymore." He opened the fridge grabbed a sandwich and walked out.
I could hear him phase into his wolf form and I yelled out the door.
"Talk about having your panties in a twist!"
Men.
"So tell me this plan of yours again?" My momma asked me while she brushed my hair before bed. The "group date" is tomorrow.
"How about you tell me if it works or not?" I asked back.
"I don't know." She responded quickly.
"Momma!" I whined back
She laughed, "This is slightly more entertaining."
"Please, pretty please?" I tried to give her my puppy eyes.
"All I'm going to say, because it is a little fuzzy, is that you will not regret this. Trust me." She finally told me with a wink.
"Do you want to know the plan yes or no?" I asked her after she grew quiet again.
"Do tell."
"So, all week long I've been throwing little details of stuff Anne likes or does that I knew Tristan would like. Honestly, that boy can be clueless. But I never gave him full details of anything. Leaving some mystery in the whole situation. I have also been spending time with Anne and convinced her to try to get together with Tristan. She has the biggest crush on him. So when we go to the group date thing and my date doesn't appear I'll make a lame excuse and leave letting them do the rest."
"Well good luck." She offered and she placed a quick kiss on my cheek.
The plan was going off without a hitch. Well except for the part when he decided to wait for me outside the restaurant for me to arrive. My uncle Garrett dropped me off and he stared him down. I'm pretty sure he almost peed himself but that was just a minor glitch in the plan. At first Tristan appeared disappointed that it wasn't going to be just us, alone. Then he appeared overwhelmingly hopeful when he noticed my other invitee had not arrived. I feigned to be deeply disturbed by it and excused myself for a while, forcing them to interact. After they had gotten over the first awkward minutes I reappeared, pretending to go meet up with the missing invitee for some kind of emergency. Instead, I just watched them from a distance in another booth. That's when I saw Joseph from the corner of my eye. He was here, no doubt by family's orders. He kept a very close watch and when Tristan appeared to finally be making a move he quickly dialed a number on his cell and I heard him whisper for somebody to hurry up. Then just like that Henry appeared. He started making his way to their table. So I quickly appeared by his side and pulled him to my new table in the farthest corner.
"What in the world are you doing here!?" I angrily whispered.
"I thought you were the one sitting with him?" He defended.
"That still doesn't answer my question!" I continued to whisper.
"I just wanted to make sure you didn't do anything stupid?! You didn't honestly think that my uncle would let you come alone did you!"
"Something stupid?! Like what!?" I almost yelled back.
We turned to look at our surroundings, making sure no one heard me slip.
Then I continued, "You sent Joseph here first because you knew I wouldn't be as angry with him then you, didn't you!?"
"Look, I'm sorry I'm just trying to help and trust me you're going to thank me one day." He answered more calmly now.
"Whatever, I'm going to go finish what I started." I spat back and quickly got up and walked towards Tristan and Anne's direction.
"Hey guys!" I greeted them and they quickly pulled apart from their more comfortable sitting arrangement. They were now sitting very close.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" I spoke more quietly towards Tristan.
"Yeah, sure." He quickly gets up but maintains eye contact with Anne. She blushes slightly and continues to run her fingers through her hair nervously.
"I think you should ask Anne to the dance." I bluntly say.
"What?" He looks at me confused.
"I think you guys are perfect for each other. I say go for it."
He stared at me dumbfounded and I started to gently push him towards their table and he turned to face me one last time and I gave him a reassuring smile.
He smiled back and quickly joined Anne again. I continued smiling as they laughed with each other. I began to walk out the restaurant looking for Joseph or Henry. I was sure one of my family members were waiting outside. Henry was right, like my parents were going to let me out alone after what happened last time.
"Looking for me?" I heard a deep voice behind me. I smiled as I recognized the voice.
"Now why would I do that?" I asked innocently, pretending to show no emotion. I continued to walk in a faster pace.
He sighed, "Okay I would just like to point out that chaperoning your date was not my idea." He continued to walk behind me.
I stopped for a moment and shot him a glaring glance. He gave me his best "but I didn't do anything wrong" look and for a moment I swear I might punch him.
"What will it take for you to consider forgiving me?" He asked innocently.
"Why should I even forgive you for something you claim to have taken no part in?" I answer back quickly.
"Talk about having your panties in a twist." He mutters beneath his breath.
I stop dead in my tracks. I really want to answer with our usual snarky remark. But I also really don't want to give in.
"You honestly didn't really think that your dad would let you come over hear by yourself?"
"I guess not, but I just hoped they wouldn't interfere."
He frowned and I immediately felt guilty.
"You all don't have to worry anymore because I'm not going to the dance with Tristan anymore. He's taking Anne." I added as I finally broke into a sprint once we were far away enough no human could see us.
He smiled and caught up with me as I arrived by my parents' small house.
"Hey." He called out to me and I turned around. He smiled at me and I smiled back.
"About earlier?" I asked him.
"What about earlier?" He asked confused.
"Who says I'm wearing any?" I responded with a smirk and headed inside my house leaving him outside.
