A while, but I just wasn't sure of this, I'd like some opinions. If not then I'll stop posting just to save time.
Chapter 5
Two weeks later, George wasn't still ready for this. Since their talk, Bay had asked two times about Angelina, the second he said he was thinking about moving on since Angelina wasn't showing interest, hasn't even wrote. Of course, since he was talking about Bay, she knew he was lying, but thought he was lying about Angelina. It seemed to be a normal day at the shop; still he would look at the door, making sure to spot Angelina first. He did, after lunch, but he had no plan, but to stay still and think of one.
"Ange!" Fred shouted, hugging her and she smiled, hugging him back. Half way, Bay came up and they hugged.
"Hey, George!" Angelina said and went to him.
They hugged and George saw Bay over Angelina's shoulder. She had this 'I'm so proud of my baby' smile. He smiled when Angelina got apart and looked at him.
"How have you guys been?" She asked before looking back at Fred who walked to them.
"Great." Fred said.
"This is amazing, I'm so happy for you, both."
"Thanks," the twins said.
"Is it going well?"
"Yes! Costumers are dropping by!" Fred said.
"Great. I think I'll look around-we should catch up later though."
"What about dinner?" Bay said as she grinned and George's eyes widened.
"Tomorrow?" Fred said, "Bay and I already have plans."
"Oh, yeah, then you and George can catch up." Bay said, smirking at George who put a nervous smile.
"Or you two can join us?" Angelina offered, "I'm glad you're doing well too."
"I think it would be fun." Fred added.
"Yeah, like old times-you know, when you weren't pushing us to go to practice." George was able to say.
"Don't start, Weasley," Angelina said while Bay and Fred laughed, "if it weren't for me, we would have been screwed."
"Oh, this will be fun." Fred added.
"Great. I'll see you later then." Bay said before walking out.
"She's precious." Angelina comment and George raised and eyebrow, maybe Bay's jokes weren't jokes, "by the way, has your sister talked to you about Hogwarts?"
"Oh, yes." George said, "mum went mad,"
"She wasn't sure of letting her or Ron go."
"I heard Hermione's weren't pleased either."
"Not many parents are." Angelina added, "looks like you won't be the only ones causing chaos this year."
"No one will top us, though." Fred said, fixing his jacket and George grinned.
"Harry's still there, remember?"
"Ah, that boy." George said, placing his hands on his waist, "he's out of control."
Angelina chuckled, "I'll have a look around, then we can talk about that dinner." She said with a smile before walking away.
George saw her until she looked away from them. Fred only gave a few steps before his hand grabbed on to his arm.
"If you want to go out with Bay alone, it's alright." George said, "we can have dinner with Angelina another night or it can be just me and her."
"No, it's alright." Fred shrugged, "I can have dinner with Bay any day, Angelina just got back and we haven't seen her in a long time, so. It'll be fun." Fred smiled before petting George's shoulder.
George smiled at him back before his brother left. He had a nervous smile, if Fred looked too deep he would notice so he turned and kept working. Maybe if he kept focusing on his work, he would forget about it. And he would be too tired to go out. Sadly for him, it didn't work. While he got dressed, George kept having scenarios in his head; Bay might do something to leave him and Angelina alone, she could send out hints for him to make a move, then he might have to, something that Angelina wouldn't like, and if she didn't like it, she will let him know, embarrassing him in front of Bay and Fred. He could simply tell Angelina about the whole thing, but she might just say to get over it and tell Bay how he really feels or at least talk to Fred about it.
He headed down first and saw Bay, sitting on the counter, eating from a chocolate wand in a dark blue dress and black heels. Her hair was straight, two locks from each side pulled back and uniting in a braid over the rest of the loose hair. She had black and blue bracelets that jingled every time she moved her hands.
"That's won't be annoying." George said as he went down, rolling his eyes, in a dark blue shirt with buttons and a dark gray blazer. Bay knew what he meant, so she waved at him. "How do I look?" He asked.
"Horrible."
"You look like a disaster." He said back.
"A pretty disaster." She smiled.
"No, just a disaster." George added, resting from the counter beside her.
"So," she said after a few seconds in silence, "have any plans for tonight?"
"Yes, I'm going to a forced double date. How about you? Oh, wait, you're the one who forced me." He grinned.
"You're very damn welcome, Weasley."
"Piss off, Miller."
"Angelina won't like to hear what you said to me." She said, sounding like a kid before biting on the wand.
George laughed, "what exactly do you have plan for her from me?"
She shrugged, "Nothing, you're a big boy, Georgie, you can handle it."
"Really?" He was surprised, "you're not butting in?"
"You want help?" She looked serious, because he also looked serious. "If you need anything just tell me."
"No-thanks, but I want to try this on my own first…just see how she's been and if I still feel what I feel." Yes. He thought that was brilliant, because after dinner, he could easily say the feelings were gone, that he just got carried away missing her, but as a good friend.
"That's good." She nodded, "chocolate wand?" she showed him the opened package and he chuckled before taking one.
"You'll spoil your appetite, Bay." Fred said, coming down in a red button shirt like George and a black vest.
"I told you I don't feel like Chinese food." Bay said, "didn't she spend almost a month in Japan? Shouldn't she be tire of it?"
"Aren't Chinese and Japanese food different?" George asked as he chewed.
"I think so..." Fred thought, "still, she wants us to try these so called eggrolls." Fred picked up Bay and placed her down in front of him, "if you hadn't suggested we all went out tonight, you would be having whatever you desired."
"Well don't spend too much money 'cause you'll be making it up for me tomorrow night." She said, smiling and tilting her head before getting the last piece of her candy wand in her mouth.
"Fine. I'll pay everything tomorrow, George'll take care of tonight."
"Why me?!" George protested.
"Because I'm paying for tomorrow."
"I'm not even going tomorrow."
"No excuse-c'mon, Angelina's probably waiting already."
George shoved the rest of his wand in his mouth while Fred grabbed Bay's hand and the trio left the shop. By 8, they arrived at a Chinese restaurant in muggle London, one that Angelina recommended. She arrived shortly after, in a red, slim dress and a wine short jacket with long sleeves. They got a table quickly and sat in couples: Fred and Bay, George was in front of Bay and Angelina in front of Fred. When George looked up and saw Bay, he suddenly realized she looked beautiful and his stomach twisted. Angelina asked about what did Fred and George do right after they left Hogwarts, how the planning went and everything, until the day they opened, how was it. They asked her about her trip to Japan and how she brought souvenirs for her friends, including something for Bay. They ordered eggrolls, along with rice and spicy chicken; the eggrolls were as good as Angelina said, but Bay wanted more of the chicken.
"Slow down, Bay," George chuckled in front of her, Angelina and Fred were so into their own conversation, they didn't notice, "remember the last time you ate a lot of spicy food so fast?"
She wiped her mouth as she made memory, "I think Moaning Myrtle died again."
Both looked at each other and they knew the other was remembering that night. It was at their sixth year. There was a new thing on the menu called spicy chicken wings, Bay loved them and ate nothing, but that. After dinner. George noticed she ran to the girls bathroom, he caught up with her, entering with out a care, she was in front of one of the sinks, looking pale and a bit green.
"You alright?" George asked.
"Y-yeah." She breathed, then shook her head lightly, "No, I'm not!"
She ran to one of the stalls and puked everything out. The thing is, after she puked possibly everything she had ate the whole day, her stomach was still hurting, she even made herself puke again and hardly anything came out. When she thought she was done, she came out of the stall and George was there.
"Done?" He said, with a grin.
She glared at him and was about to answer until she puked a bit more, hitting his pants even if he jumped back. After, she burped.
"Oh, all better."
"Seriously?" She nodded, with a kid-like smile and arms behind her. "That's great, Bay." He said, sarcastic as he looked down to his pants.
"Ew, George, use the bathroom next time."
After a minute of staring at each other, George started to laugh and Bay followed. In the present day, they did the same as Bay pushed the plate away. They realized Fred and Angelina were looking at them.
"So, what are we talking about?" Bay asked them.
"Oh, remember when we met Ange?" Fred asked George.
"Oh, yeah."
"She sure will be a Slytherin." Fred said, quoting himself from his first year self.
"Right in front of my face." Angelina told Bay who grinned.
"You sure showed them when the hat yelled Gryffindor." Bay commented and Angelina nodded, proud.
"I was put in there even before you, two Weasleys." She added.
"We were young," Fred said.
"And foolish." George finished.
"What's the difference from now?" Bay asked.
"We went from cute to handsome lads." Fred smiled.
"Not really, you should have heard their high voices." Angelina said, almost laughing.
"Angelina!" Fred and George said.
"How high?" Bay asked, about to laugh.
"Like squirrels." Angelina answered and she laughed.
"Not in front of my girlfriend, Merlin's sake." Fred said, slipping his hand over Bay's.
But Bay slipped hers away, "I want to hear all about it."
"Bloody hell, Ange." Fred complained, resting back, even George had to laugh a bit.
The rest of the nigh was great, al thought they were times when Fred and Angelina would get into another conversation between them alone, so would George and Bay. George seemed to be the only one who noticed, but he didn't care; he had Bay's attention and if Bay did notice, she would see he has no feelings for Angelina. The only times he realized why being close to Bay sucked was when Fred grabbed her hand or kissed her. After they finally finished eating and talking, Angelina said goodbye at the restaurant's doors and walked away. Bay said goodbye too, but Fred pulled her for a small make out sessions, making George feel awkward and uncomfortable. Between kisses, Fred asked her to stay over at his flat, even if it was to sleep, but she said no. After asking 3 more times, George got tired, rolled up his sleeves and pulled his brother away. Bay laughed with a 'thank you' before walking away.
