"Jesse!" I whined turning away from him

"Querida, I want to know what you've been doing at Slater's house," he turned me back around

"Nothing, It's not important. I don't have to go anymore."

"Well what have you been doing there?" He pressed

"He was helping me with… something."

"And what would that something be?"

"Hewasteachingmeshifterstuff," I said quickly

"Again please, In English"

"He. Was, Teaching. Me. Shifter. Stuff"

"Susannah! How could you be so stupid! Going over to that bastido's house just so he could teach you how to destroy your LIFE! Susannah I thought you were smarter than that!" Jesse yelled and a few people in the theater turned t look at us.

"Jesse, shhhhh. People are beginning to stare," I whispered to them.

"Lo siento," he said lowering his voice, "but Susannah why would you do something so stupid?"

"Look I had no choice!" I screeched. More people started watching us. I couldn't blame them the pre-movie show is always pretty lame.

"Querida, what do you mean you had no choice?" he asked me softly looking concerned.

"I just had to. Ok"

"No, not ok, querida. Please tell me. You do trust me, don't you?" Oh my god he's playing the trust card. He's been alive just over one day and already he's learned to play the trust card!

"Yes I trust you, but this has nothing to do with trust"

"Susannah, this has everything to do with trust!" he bellowed then lowered his voice, "How can I trust you when you wont tell me things?"

Then the movie started and we had to be quiet or we would have been thrown out. Jesse and I sat as far apart from each other as possible in out two seats. I couldn't believe our first date was turning out so horrible. About half way through I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Fine Jesse!" Do you really want to know why I was at Paul's? I was protecting you! Paul said that if I took shifting lessons he would leave you alone." I whispered

"You were protecting me, Querida," he said as he scooted closer to me, "I'm a big boy. I don't need to be protected."

"Not anymore," I pointed out, "but before he could have exorcized you."

"Querida, I would rater have been exorcized then you having to spend time with that man." All of a sudden a look of concern crossed his face. "He didn't touch you, did he?"

"No, no," not much. "I made it clear that I would leave if he tried because I was with you."

Jesse visibly relaxed and put his arm around me shoulders, "Thank you for telling me." He then kissed my forehead and I rested my head on his shoulder. Finally I could enjoy my date.
