A/N: Salutations! Thank you for the reviews follows and favorites!
Standing there with everyone staring at me I wished the floor could swallow me. G being the idiot he is didn't seem the least bit phased by the fact that everyone around the table seems uncomfortable.
"Gar I'm sure Isabella here has somewhere to be," Kate says distastefully. Not even bothering to hide her dislike.
"Nonsense Katie Iz I would like you to meet my friends.." he begins to go around the table but I cut him off quickly.
"You know what Garrett Kate is right unfortunately I was on my way out," I said quickly trying to walk away.
"Aww, bummer Isabella well it was nice seeing you. Have a good night." Kate says disingenuously. The two woman at the table with her snort under their breath.
"Yeah it is a bummer Kate we can't catch up. You know for a woman who got the guy you are awfully bitter towards me. It's sad really. Have a good night everyone."
As I start to walk away. Edward speaks up from his spot at the table no longer shocked.
"Bella wait up!" he yells over the loud music following. Not stopping I go straight to the door and finally smell the fresh air I've been yearning for.
"Hey, I said wait up," he says a little bit out of breath. I turn around to face him. Preparing myself to act unfazed by all the events that transpired today.
"What's up Edward," I say as casually as I can pull off.
"So uh. This is a bit awkward." He laughs uncomfortably running his hands through his hair.
"What's awkward about it Edward," I ask enjoying the fact that he feels awkward.
"For one we were supposed to go out tonight and then we run into each other here. Also, the incident back there between you and my brother's co-worker. Seems like there's some history there." He says I look at him with an unreadable expression on my face.
"A date which you canceled on very last minute. With very little explanation it's fine I wasn't actually expecting you to follow through with the date." I lie through my teeth. I didn't want him to know that I was actually looking forward to it. I also make it a point to not address what he said about G.
"Wow now, who's throwing around insults. I'll have you know I had every intention of making our date happen." He says feigned insult.
"Whether you intended to make it happen or not your actions proved otherwise. Like I said before you don't have to explain to me. We barely know each other." I say patiently while checking to see if there were any cabs.
"Can I ask what gives you the impression that I wasn't going to go through with our date." He asks questioningly. Taking a deep breath I look at him getting myself ready to be really honest with him.
"For one, you put little to no thought when it came to said date. Also, you waited until 8:30 pm to cancel and lastly you didn't bother texting me throughout the day to confirm whether or not we were still on." I ramble. A look of a shock passes his face and very small part of me is satisfied that I was obviously right.
"Uh wow. Do you make it a habit to over think everything?" he questions. This guy has some nerve.
"Yes, I do. Now tell me am I wrong though in my overthinking." I ask him. Smiling as he runs his hand through his hair again.
"Fine you aren't wrong. I didn't put much thought into the date but allow me to prove you wrong now. Let me take you out." He replies with a beautiful cocky smirk. I so badly wanted to wipe that smirk off his face.
"Ha! I knew it!" I say triumphantly.
"Yeah yeah so you didn't answer my question can I take you out?" he says patiently while I'm still gloating.
"Sure. Sometime in the future right." I say sarcastically. Smiling wide at him and batting my eyelashes for good measure. Not seeming the least bit phased by my sarcasm.
"Well no I mean now." He says and smiles widely at my dumbfounded expression. Damn him.
"What? It's late and you have nothing planned. What kinda of half-ass date is that." I say quickly.
"Some of the best things in life are done with no plans." He says happily.
"I'm pretty sure the saying is some of the best things in life are free." I respond.
"Stop stalling Bella. One date that's all a little spontaneity never hurt anyone " He replies and goes in for the kill by brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear and smiling softly at me.
Everything in me is screaming no. Make him suffer and sweat he doesn't deserve a second chance hell he barely deserved the first one.
I'm not a prude by any means, but being spontaneous with a man I barely know is a foreign concept to me. Something about him though makes me want to say fuck planning and overthinking. So I do what I know is probably not the smartest thing. I agree.
"Fine. One date that's all. This better be the best-unplanned date ever." I reply warily.
"Perfect!" He says and smiles brightly.
He looks a little shocked that I agreed. Join the club buddy. After all, curiosity killed the cat and unfortunately for me, Edward has me very curious.
