Chapter 6
As I drove up to Tanya's house I took in its huge size. It looks about the same size our house on the outskirts of town but I know the Denali's have a huge family. Tanya's two older sisters, Kate and Irina, are at Harvard and Carmen, the oldest is with her boyfriend Eleazar are in Italy. So right now Tanya and her dad are the only people that live in the huge estate.
I saw Tanya peering through the windows surrounding the door and then disappearing. She probably doesn't want to look too eager. As soon as I turned the engine off I heard the door open and a squeal of delight "EEEDDDWWWAAARRRDDD!!!" Tanya yelled as she ran/sprinted toward me. She opened the car door, plopped down on my lap and gave me a big kiss on the cheek. I stiffened but she didn't seem to notice. "Edward I want you to meet my dad. He's just inside" "Tanya, we really need to get going. Its 7:50 and we don't want to keep Bella and Mike waiting" Tanya then brushed my suggestion off as someone would do if they had a bug on their shoulder. "Oh, come on! They won't mind waiting a couple minutes anyway. I'm sure they want a couple minutes alone"
What? I don't want to have Bella alone with this Mike guy all alone. We have to get there soon. "Ok. But we have to make it quick" "Yay!"
She ran into the large estate and screamed "DADDY?" Wow, that girl has quite a pair of lungs. Finally she emerged with her dad. He was a once handsome man and now his honey blonde hair has a couple gray streaks. He still has an ageless quality "Hello, Mr. Denali. It's very nice to meet you" "Ditto. So you're the famous Edward? Now don't you hurt my daughter. Follow that rule and we'll get along nicely. If not.... just follow that rule okay?" Tanya's dad certainly was something. "Yes sir. I will do my best" Tanya spoke up "Im sorry daddy but me must be doing to dinner" Her dad nodded as we got into the car. We did a little small talk until we got the restaurant. I found out that Tanya loves talking about a subject that revolves around her. The hostess told us that Bella and Mike were already seated so we went to the table.
I was shocked to see that Mike was trying to lean towards Bella. She pushed him lightly and said something I couldn't quite hear. I became enraged when Mike was trying a second attempt. I was running toward Mike now. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and tugged him out of his chair. "Dude! What's your problem?" he protested loudly. "If Bella doesn't want you to do something you have to stop it!" I practically roared. Almost everyone in the restaurant turned their heads to look at us. Bella stood up and lightly touched my shoulder "Don't do anything stupid. This is the restaurant we are going tomorrow night and I don't want to get kicked out" She whispered in my ear "Hurting Mike would not be stupid. I saw what he did." I growled
