By the time the movie was finished I was starving. My stomach was grumbling loudly, but I was embarrassed. I had long ago embraced the fact that being a shifter gave me an animal's appetite. Angela was hungry as well, I could tell because she had this odd habit of chewing the inside of her cheek to distract herself when she was hungry. I realized that she must have skipped dinner with her family so she would have an appetite for dinner with me. Well then, we should probably head out to the restaurant. I had gone all out with reservations ad everything since I knew how much she enjoyed Italian food.
"We better get going if we want to make it in time for dinner." I said helping her on to my motorcycle again. At least the guys were smart enough not to approach us after the movie. Maybe they were not a lost cause after all. "I know you didn't want me to do anything too fancy, but you're my girl and I am allowed to do something special once in a while and so you are not allowed to complain okay? Money is not an issue."
Angela sighed though she did a superb job at hiding her frown. "I suppose I can take it this once, but just so you know I will be getting you back in the future and you won't be able to complain."
"Deal." I told her before getting on the bike and heading off towards our next destination.
It did not take us very long to get to the restaurant and because I had a reservation there was no need for us to wait in line. When we were seated and given menu's I looked mine over as Angela did hers as well. It was while we were looking over the selection of food that a familiar voice entered my ears and I wanted to scream. Fate really hated me, it had too if it thought having Isabella freaking Swan and her dead boyfriend was my idea of a good time. It's strange that I didn't smell him, but then again we were in a restaurant full of people so it could have masked his scent.
"Angela, hey, I had no idea you would be here tonight." Bella came to sit down at the table directly next to ours. Her vampire lover sat down and as well and used that freaky stare on Angela and I. If he liked his eyes then he should probably look away. He must have heard my thoughts because his eyes averted quickly. "I thought you mentioned having a date?"
Had I suddenly become invisible? Did she not see me sitting right here? Or perhaps she was just too stupid to realize that I was Angela's date. I was going to step up and say something, but Angela replied first which is probably a good thing since I never took the time to think before I opened my mouth. Sometimes it is a good thing to say nothing and in my case right now was one of those times.
"I actually am here on a date." Angela stated firmly her voice not wavering for one second. When my girlfriend was strongly passionate about a subject she never backed down and apparently I was something she was passionate about so woohoo me! "You know Leah Clearwater don't you?"
The human fail turned bright red when she realized what was going on. "Oh, um, yes, I do know her actually. Hi Leah, how are you doing?"
Great, now I actually had to be polite and respond. "I'm alive and kicking as you can well tell. How are you doing? Since you're not in a body cast I suppose this is a good day for you?"
She nodded moving a strand of hair from her face. "I am well thank you for asking. You know Edward don't you? Edward is my umm, he is my boyfriend."
I sighed and glanced at the bloodsucker. Of course I knew who Edward Cullen was. He was the undead freak who caused my family so much pain and heartache. If it wasn't for him and his family things on the reservation would be better. Still, tonight was a good happy night and I wouldn't dwell on the past. I was better than that, or at least I wanted to be. Hey I am a work in progress.
"Yeah hey." That was the best he was going to get from me. I mean really I wasn't going to sit around making idle chit chat with a dude who drinks blood. I needed to find a way out of this conversation and fast. I did not want to risk Angela being sucked in by his undead charm or whatever it was that made all the girls who were not me go gaga over him. "Well now that we have caught up and everything we should probably let you get back to your date and-"
I never got the chance to finish what I was saying because Edward opened his mouth. "I think it is great that you don't allow the simple minds of some people ruin your happiness. There was a time not so long ago you would have been burned at the stake for being homosexual. While times have changed some people are not open minded and it is a shame. It's nice to see a young couple in love despite how different their relationship may be."
Bella nodded obviously in agreement with him. Though to be fair she agreed with him about everything. Sometimes I wonder if she actually has the ability to think. "I agree with Edward. Personally it kind of freaks me out the thought of being with another woman, but if makes you happy I say go for it. Unconventional relationships are still relationships."
All I could do was blink at him. Did he really just say that and if he did, did he realize how much of an old man he sounded like. Plus Bella couldn't really say much I mean she was dating a dead dude and if that is not unconventional I don't know what is.
Knowing I should say something I tried to smile. "Well I like to be a rebel and do things people may not understand. I'm sure you can relate to that."
Angela smirked since she knew he was a vampire. I told her one day when she mentioned him in conversation. Hey what can I say? I didn't like my girlfriend talking about him as if he were perfect so I pointed out the small fact he was dead and drank blood. It had ended up working well for me. I smiled at her ignoring the others and hoping we would have dinner in peace.
