Chapter 21

He looked afraid, afraid I would say that he was too late and walk out.

" No" I shook my head " its OK" He moved to sit across from me, his eyes looking down at the table. He was dressed in dark blue jeans and a white dress shirt.

I chuckled, He looked at me, questioning me if he should sit down or not, asking if I had changed my mind

" Sit " I said pointing to the chair, he smiled nervously looking down again and sitting down

" What was so funny?" he asked a little nervous, finally meeting my eye. He was fidgeting with the sleeves of his shirt.

" Nothing" I smiled, shaking my head

" What?" he asked again,the look in his eyes was weir,it was to serious... almost like a life or death question

" Its... Its that we are matching" I pointed towards our clothes. He moved to inspect both our clothing

" Oh, yeah" he gave a small smile. The waitress, Lucy, came for the fifth time

'' What would you like to drink?" she asked smiling. I liked her, she had been nice to me this whole time and looked as relieved as me that I didn't get stood up.

" Leah?"Charlie asked waiting for me to order first. Ah! Such a gentleman, and when he said my name I felt like I was melting

" I.. I will have orange soda" I smiled at him

" I'll have a coke" he said his eyes never leaving mine

" OK" Lucy said and left

" Am sorry am late" he said as soon as she was out of hearing range

" Its OK" I said, he looked doubtful but just nodded his head. He stopped fidgeting with his sleeves, but started moving the silverware from hand to hand.

" So how was your day?" he asked

" It was.." What should I say that I practically counted the minutes until I would see him again " it was OK. Yours?"

" It was quiet" Lucy came back with our drinks

" OK, are you two ready to order?" she asked placing our drinks on the table

" Leah are you ready?" he asked

" Yeah, I'll have the chicken pasta" I said, handing her the menu

" I'll have the stake and fries, well done" he said, she wrote it down and left

Quiet

" So wheres Bella?" I asked

" She is working" he answer short

" Oh, that's good" I said

" Yeah, How's your mom and Seth?"

" Well today is moms day off so she is at home resting, and Seth is hanging out with some friends" OK he was patrolling, but Charlie didn't have to

know that

" That's good" he said nervous, I laughed, he looked at me confuse

" Am sorry its just that am nervous" I said, he nodded

" Me too"

" Can we start over?'' I asked. He nodded and got up from the chair, I followed his lead

" Hello, Leah"

" Hi Charlie" We both sat down and smiled

" So Leah, how was your day?"

" Work was slow, but nothing to bad, how was work?"

" Work was slow also, you know small town"

" So there is not no big criminal out in the lose" I teased, he chuckled

" No, no big criminal"

For the next 10 minutes we were in silence

Lucy brought our diner, and placed it on the table

"Here it is enjoy"

I eat some pasta "Mm its good"

" The steak is good too" diner again was quiet, every time I tried to make conversation he would give short answers it was getting very frustrating I didn't even eat more than a few bites the pasta, I was hurt he didn't want to talk to me

" Here is your check" said Lucy placing it on the table. I moved to grab it, but Charlie graved it before me

" Am paying" he smiled

" No, I am paying for me" he looked taken back by my seriousness, but what did he expect ?He has being quiet most of the night and now he thought by just smiling it will be OK.I got up and put a twenty down. Charlie took the twenty off and opened his wallet and placed a fifty. Took my keys that were in the table and walked out, I followed him. I didn't see the police car only Bella's truck, I guess he borrowed it

" What are-"

" Get in the car" he growled angrily. Walking to the drivers side of my car

" What?"

" Get in the car Leah" I got in, I knew he wasn't going to hurt me. He got in the car turned it, and backed out

" Whe-" he interrupted me

" Just.. just let me drive" I gave a short drove for about 15 minutes until we were out of Forks. 5 minutes later he parked across a park. He got out, I followed him. He started walking

" Ah!" I yelled

" What? Are you OK?"he asked finally looking back at me

" No! How can I be OK? You jut drove me here and I don't want to be here!" I want to be home in my bed crying my eyes out because of this horrible date

" Why did you kiss me?" he asked looking strait into my eyes

" I.. I don't know"

" Yes, yes you do. Why?" he asked again

" Because... because I wanted to"

" That's not it, why?"

" Because I have been wanting to kiss you, and I finally got the nerve to do it"

" Why did you ask me to dinner?" he asked

" I wanted to talk to you, but that was a bad idea every time I tried to sart a conversation you answered with short answers"

" You like me?" he asked

" Yes " I yelled

He walked up to me, cupped my cheeks an his mouth claimed mine as if he was I was his. His kiss deep, drugging, possessive that left me lightheaded and yearning for more Charlie. The kiss became fierce, his tongue was hot and slick, I could barely think , barely stay on my feet, so I wrapped my legs around his hips, my arms around his neck, dug my fingers in his soft curly hair. We were so close I could feel his hard chest rubbing against my own,his body lean and fit, broad, hard,shoulders. His arms wrapped around me pulling me closer to him. This was heaven, or at least as close as I have ever gotten.
