Taking a deep breath, I readjusted the collar of my jacket. "Okay… It's just dinner and a movie, relax D."
It had been a few days since everyone got back from France and… Things were settling back at home, my mother and my dad were pretty much inseparable expect for when my mother and Gigi were hanging out together, I swear my mother practically adopted Gigi, but I was fine with that Gigi was already like family so I was glad my mother took to her so readily. Well there was one slight issue which involved who got to cook… Let's just say that it ended with us ordering takeout. Other than that, things were going great… Well until I decided to ask Clawdeen out for a date… Yeah that was a mistake on my part because both my mother and Gigi went hog wild… I ended up getting dragged through the New Salem mall and forced to go shopping for 'date' appropriate clothes. So instead of my usual outfit I was now wearing tight gray jeans with a few belts hanging around my side, short black boots, a dark red tank top, a short sleeve black leather jacket, some leather cuffs on my wrists, and the necklace that my mother gave me, I decided to not wear my beanie since it would take away from the whole look and instead I opted to wear my hair in a similar style to Alucard when he didn't wear a hat.
"D, you almost ready!?" My dad shouted from downstairs. "You have to pick up Clawdeen in twenty minutes."
"Umm… Yeah! I'm coming!" I shouted back, shaking my head I headed down stairs into the living room where my mother, my dad and Gigi were all sitting in various places, Gigi was on her CoffinPhone, while my mom and dad were speaking in French to one another, but the moment I came down they were all looking at me with apprising looks.
"Magnifique!" My mother clapped her hands with a smile. "You look quite stunning, I'm sure Miss Wolf will not know what has hit her."
"Looking good son." Grinning my dad gave me his approval and tossed me his car keys.
Smiling Gigi stood up and slowly walked around me before kissing my cheek in a friendly manner. "Clawdeen won't know what hit her, you go enjoy yourself D."
"Thanks." Smiling slightly, I nodded my family and headed toward the garage, and went straight for my dad's hybrid car, opening the garage and getting into the car I made the drive to Clawdeen's house. The drive there didn't take too long but it felt like an eternity… will freely admit I was nervous for a lot of reasons. This was my first date in a long time, so I had every right to be nervous. Though I had another reason to be nervous was Howleen… she had a crush on me and I was going to destroy her by going on a date with her big sister, the older sister who's shadow she was trying to get out of and now the guy she liked was going on a date with said sister? Yeah that won't end well. I just hope she can be mature about this, I mean it wasn't like I was dating Clawdeen… It was just a onetime date, right?
Shaking my head, I slowly pulled up to the Wolf house and parked, I thought about just texting Clawdeen I was out in the car waiting but that wouldn't be classy… Like at all. So, I decided to bite the bullet and walked out of the car and headed for the door, ringing the doorbell I rolled my eyes as soon as the barking started.
"Get back you rugrats! I heard the familiar sounding teen, slowly the door opened revealing my date for the evening. Now I always thought Clawdeen was kind of cute in a furry kind of way but tonight she really was pulling out all the stops, she was dressed in a black skirt with gold lining, a purple shirt with black paw print designs on it, over her shirt was a long sleeved black jacket, and short black heels, her hair was done up in a pony-tail, and her hair was lined with purple. In her hands was a leather clutch purse… And yeah, I know what a clutch is… I have a French mother and a teenage girl as a roommate, you tend to learn things. Anyway, Clawdeen also had on some gold and silver bracelets on and several earrings.
I tried to say something… Anything but it felt like-
"Cat got your tongue D?" Clawdeen asked with a small smirk.
Cleaning my throat, I smiled slightly. "You look good… I mean you always look good but just- "
"I know what you mean, and thanks D. You look good too." Smiling the werewolf girl turned around and shouted. "Hey, my date's here I will be back in a few hours!" Shutting the door, Clawdeen and I both walked to the car, opening the door for her and helping her in I got in on my side of the car and started to drive.
"So, where are we going for dinner?" Clawdeen asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I was thinking we could go to this steak house that your brother told me about."
"Wait do you mean the Remus Log House? I love that place!" Clawdeen squealed slightly. Okay score one for me, I will need to thank Clawd for telling me about that place, anyway the Remus Log House was an old fashion steak place that was made for monsters and humans, the owner was an older werewolf who was married to a human woman. Apparently, it was meant to be a place where monsters and humans could come together and enjoy a decent steak dinner. Getting to the steak house I found a good parking spot and helped Clawdeen out of the car and together we headed on in. The Remus Log House reminded me a lot of Logan's Steak House, it looked really cool, the place wasn't overly busy luckily so we were able to be seated right away. As Clawdeen and I waited for our server we both made small talk, mainly about… Well whatever came up, though the one subject we kept going to was drawing, it was one of the few things we both knew we had in common. After ten minutes of waiting our waitress showed up, gave us our menus and took our drink order and soon we were brought our drinks and we ordered our food.
"So, what will you two have?" The weredog waitress asked as she held up her notebook.
"I'll have a medium rare steak, and fries please." I said closing the menu and passing the folded paper over.
"Same but can you make mine just rare please." Clawdeen smiled handing her menu to our waitress, nodding the waitress walked away with a smile and headed off to give our orders to the kitchen. "So, D how is your mom doing?"
"Well enough she is adjusting to being free from her crazy family, it will take some time but she is adjusting and so is my dad… Hell we all are." Taking a sip of my drink I shook my head.
"You're right about that but I am sure you guys will make it." Reaching out Clawdeen gently touched my hand and smiled.
Smiling back slightly I nodded. "Thanks… So how are things going with your family?"
"Well, it's pretty much same old same old at my house, though I think Howleen is suspicious." The teen werewolf shook her head. "She kept asking where I was going, and who I was going out with."
"What'd you tell her?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, I was kind of curious.
Frowning slightly Clawdeen shrugged her shoulders and crossed her arms. "I told her I was going out with a friend, and that's the truth."
"Yeah… Though you do realize if she found out about this we're both dead." Chuckling I rubbed the bridge of my nose. "Can I be honest Clawdeen? I'm glad we're doing this but- "
"You're worried about hurting Howleen… So am I but… How about this for the rest of the night we just focus on having a good time? Deal?"
Smiling I nodded. "Okay, deal." After that the night went more smoothly, Clawdeen and I both spent the rest of the time just talking about some of our common interests besides drawing I found out we both enjoyed some of the same types of music. Not long after that our food arrived and after eating and paying the bill we both left and headed over to the local theater and saw some…. I don't really remember the movie was boring at least to me but… Clawdeen enjoyed herself so I guess that is what matters, well after the movie I drove her back to her house and walked her to the door.
"You know I had a great time tonight." Clawdeen said as she leaned forward and gently kissed my cheek. "We should do it again sometime."
Smiling I put my hands into my pockets and nodded. "Yeah, we should, maybe coffee or something?"
"That works for me, well… Goodnight." Opening the door to her house the teen werewolf walked in and waved at me with a smile. Giving her wave I walked back to my dad's car and drove back home. Getting back to the house I found that everyone was asleep so I quietly headed up the stairs into my room and quickly changed into some sweats and a loose shirt I climbed on top of my bed and closed my eyes with a small smile. "Tonight, was fun."
Knock, knock, knock
"Come in." I said with a raised eyebrow, wondering who that could be.
Slowly the door opened revealing my favorite genie who was wearing her sleepwear, some scorpion style slippers, blue and pink sweat pants and a white/gold t-shirt. "Hey D… I just wanted to know how did the date go?"
"Well enough, we may be going to out for coffee sometime." Stretching out I cracked my knuckles. "But I am not sure if there is anything long term there."
Frowning Gigi slowly sat down on my bed and patted my knee. "What do you mean? I thought you said things went well."
"They did but… I don't know I don't want to date Clawdeen because of her sister. I don't want to hurt her. Plus, Clawdeen and I only have a few things in common I don't- "I started to say but stopped when Gigi shook her head with a grin. "Okay what is with that look?"
"D, I think your just looking for excuses not to get close to someone. If you don't want to be with someone then don't, but if you do then give yourself an opportunity to be happy." Smiling the pink genie squeezed my knee. "You are my best friend D, and you're like my brother, in many ways you remind me of that dhampir friend of mine from years ago."
Frowning I raised eyebrow at that. "You never talk about him, I mean you mention how we're alike but you never told me anything else about him, what was his name, or anything else."
"Well, you never told me what your real name is." She grinned at me. "So, feel like sharing?"
"Yeah, not on your life."
Shaking her head Gigi just laughed and looked down with a small smile. "His name was Nahuel, he came from the rain forests of South America. He was a friend of one of my finders when I was still the genie of the lantern. He was like you in many ways, he was of course a dhampir who was just like you, he came from a clan of vampires that were… Different from the norm, his was called the kamesotz. He was always worried that he wasn't good enough for anyone and he would always look for excuses not to get close to someone for one reason or another and he always kept his distance to people due to something horrible happening to him. Sound familiar?"
"No, not at all, we're nothing alike." I said sarcastically.
Rolling her eyes, the pink genie punched my leg with a playful pout. "Jerk, anyway Nahuel and I got close just like you and I have, and I remember giving him some the same advice I just gave you when he was faced with a situation similar to you, give yourself the opportunity to be happy if you want to be with someone." Standing to her feet Gigi leaned down and gently kissed my head and walked out of my room and turned off the light. "Goodnight D."
"Night Gigi." Shaking my head, I closed my eyes and thought over what she said. "Give myself an opportunity to be happy? Maybe I should try."
