When we arrive, I tell the others to wait outside.
I need to scope the place out without the others.
I creep in slowly, and peek around the corner.
Sora is taking Light's order, and Rowan is sitting across from Light, looking dazed and in love.
"Thank you, Sora," Light says and Sora smiles telling them to have fun, and leaves to prepare the food.
I slink over to the booth a few away from Light's back, and lift the menu, pretending to read.
Sora comes over with her pad of paper to take my order.
"No, no thank you, gracias," I say waving her away.
I cringe, when I feel a heated gaze behind me, but I don't dare turn around.
When I feel the gaze subside, I sneak a look and see they are immersed in conversation.
Rowan then gets up to excuse herself to the bathroom. Light says of course and as soon as Rowan leaves, someone else I know walks over to Light's table from the other side of the restaurant.
"Misa," Light welcomes.
"Hi Light! I've been keeping an eye on those Whammy kids. Rollins actually thinks I care for him. He doesn't know I really have feelings for you Light."
Light shakes his head. "You need to stop that. I told you that you can be my queen when I take over the worlds. But you need to make sure he believes the feelings you have for him are true."
Misa pouts her glossy lips. "Light, you're not getting feelings for this Rowan girl are you? We had a plan. I agreed but it's still extreme…"
"It's necessary," Light cuts in. "If we want to be powerful, we need a little more. And we still need the bonds."
Misa looks confused, "I still don't understand about these bonds. What do you need with them?"
"Blood from good mixed with blood from bad, and then placed into blood of a normal. Rowan is the normal. As long as she has some human in her at least, I heard she's only half, which makes it even better."
"But what does all this blood mixing do?"
"Creates something powerful," Light replies. Then glances worriedly at the bathroom door. "She'll be out any minute now. You need to go."
Misa huffs and get up, passing my table on her way out. I let out a breath that I was holding and watch as Rowan dances out of the restroom to sit across from Light. She looks happy and I feel like an awful person to take away her happiness but it's in her best interest.
I dash into the restroom to clear my head.
I turn on the faucet and splash water over my face.
"Guilty for stalking?" A voice says behind me.
I roll my eyes. "Investigating, I don't stalk I investigate. Why are people having trouble with this?"
Andie slinks over to the sink and turns off the water.
"Jealous of little Rowan growing up and getting a boyfriend?"
"Says the girl who's hiding in the restroom, while they're on their date. If anyone's a stalker it's you." I say.
Andie moves some hair out of her face, "I'll have you know that I have many guys lined up for me."
I make a face.
"What's the problem? You look like you're in pain." Andie acknowledges.
"It's nothing; it's just physically painful to hold back a sarcastic comment." I reply.
"Well don't let me hold you back, as I was saying I have guys all around that would kill to date me." Andie says.
"Low prices attract many customers." I say and I see her grit her teeth.
"You did ask for that one," I shrug.
I dry my hands and walk out of the restroom, and out the door to meet the guys and Kaige.
"How'd it go?" Stanley asks.
"I got some valuable information." And as I say that, the door swings open and Rowan steps out.
"Oh Electra, I had no idea that you were coming over here." She says.
"Rowan, I was, but then I changed my mind."
"That's her? That's Rowan right Rebel? Shrimp?" Beyond rants in the background.
It's hard to ignore them when you can see them and others can't.
"Oh ok," Rowan nods, "well I'll see you back at the house."
"Yeah sure," I say.
Once she's out of ears reach, I turn to Beyond, "You made that really difficult. Now was not the time for introductions."
"When is the time Rebel? I missed eighteen years with my daughter and I've never seen her. She doesn't know who I am," Beyond cries. I feel really bad now.
"Look, I was not about to have such a sentimental moment, out here in between a drug deal and a robbery." This town is sketchy.
Beyond sighs, "When?"
"Later, tonight maybe. I just need to push her in gently so she doesn't freak out ok?"
Everyone nods and Beyond finally agrees.
"And a little detail that I need to mention."
"What is it?" Beyond asks.
"Rowan is dating Light Yagami."
Beyond's face turns to stone.
"I. Will. Kill. Him."
