Wolf's Mate
We walked up to a man wearing a nice looking tux standing behind a podeum. "Good evening. Welcome to Jardin de L'amour or traslated to Garden of love. How may I help you?" he asked while I glance at Chica blush slightly at the traslation 'I guess she didn't know the tras. as well when she suggested this place.' I thought as I look back at the man.
"Hello. I'm here for my resveration at 6:20. A table for 2. It should be under the name Rose Cross." I said to him as he checked a book in front of him, looking for my name. "Aww yes right here." He points to my name. "If you please follow me to your table and your date I well he-" "Wait. My date? Someone else is at my table?" I asked him as he looks at me confused. "Yes Miss. Cross. Your date came here shortly before you did, saying she was the person you were going to company this evening on a romantic date. I must say Miss. Cross you are quite lucky." "Hold on. That's impossable. The person I'm having dinner with is standing next to me." I gesture to Chica. "The person at the table is lying. Did you catch her name or what she look like?" I asked him, hoping it wasn't who I thought it was.
The man looked abit worried as he answered my question. "I didn't get her name but her had light brown hair and the most beautiful sky blue eyes." I shake my head and walked passed the man towards the doors that lead to the dinning area. Both Chica and the man were surpirsed by this and the man tried to stop me but I ignored him. My eyes scanned the room and I saw the cause of the problem. Sitting alone at a candle light table by a fireplace was my ex. Lusy Hearts. She looks up at the door and sees me then gives me a small wave. I turned away and walked back to Chica. "The person at the table is my ex." I said "Your ex is here? How and why?" Chica asked. "To ruin the outing. She must have heard me talking to Aaron about this place. I should have known she pull something like this when I didn't see her with the other cheerleaders during practice." I said as Lusy arrived.
"Oh hello love. I see you made it on time for date. Come along and have a lovely romantic time with me, without the lousy girl next to you." Lusy said which got me growling in anger. "Lusy I'm not going in there with you. I'm on a date with Susie not you. And don't you dare call her lousy when the only one who is, is YOU." I said to her as she glares. "Rose love. You don't mean that do you? I'm the love of your life. Your soulmate. Your wolf mate. The Alpha female to your alpha male. You said all of these to me remember?" she said as she smiles at hopefully with the same hopefullness in her tear filling eyes. "Yeah I remeber. I said all those when we dated before you CHEATED on me. You broke my heart Lusy. I no longer consider you those things. As far as the I'm concered you are you are no longer the love of my life. Let go of the past Lus. It's not good for you. Goodbye." I said as I took Chica's hand and we left. I'm not going to stay in the resatuant after that little show.
About half way to my car, I stopped and let go of Chica's hand before looking at her. "I'm so sorry Chica. I honestly didn't know that this was going to happen. I wasn't worried about her at the moment. If you wish, I'll take you back to the pizzeria and I'll see you later during my shift." I said to her as I looked to the ground. She places a hand on my cheek making me look at her. "It's alright Rose. You couldn't control what was going to happen with her. Let's just head somewhere else for our evening together. You know I was a little surprised when you said this was a date." She said making me blush as I realized my slip up. "Oh um I um uh I uh j-just s-said th-that t-to g-get h-her t-to let go of the p-past." I studdered out. "I thought that if I say that then maybe she well realize I moved on and so should she." I said and she laughs. "I understand Rose. Now let's get out of here and head somewhere else to eat and catch up on old times." "Yeah ok. I know this 50's themed dinner nearby we could go to. Not fancy or anything but I think it well be a good place." I said as we walked back to me car and left the parking lot to head to the dinner.
We soon arrived to the dinner and I parked the car then held open Chica's door to let her out. We walked inside and it seemed like we stepped through a time vortex to the past. The floor was checkered board, the seats, bright red as a stop light, the booths and the long strip of table in front of the dinner shine brightly in the lights. There was a juke-box with red, green, and yellow lights with records in it, along with pictures of Elvis, and other stars back then hand on the wall, along with old or fake movie posters, road signs and a front end car bumber, a big bottle cap that said coka-cola, and etc. It was just a big blast in the past in this cozy dinner. There was about maybe 10 people here besides us and the staff.
Me and Chica went over and took our seats in a small booth right across from each other. We looked at our menus before the waitress came over and took our orders then left. "This looks like a very nice place. Very cozy and warm." I nod in agreement. "Yeah. I came here once or twice before. The food here is pretty good." I sighed. "Ch-Susie. I'm real sorry about what happ-" "Stop right there. There is nothing to be sorry about. It's alright. We didn't know that your ex would pull something like that. Besides I think this place is a lot more better suited for old friends to reconnect." "Yeah. You're right. I just wish Lusy would let me go. I rejected her multiple times this week. She even came to my first period class today to try and win back but ended in a scene where she slapped me." "She slapped you?!" "Yep. But it didn't hurt. I been hit much harder then that. It did surprise me though. Never expected it." "Wow." "That's only the half of it. She kept coming to my other classes, trying to convice me to cancel our outing and go out with her tonight and at others just to say I was cheating on her."
"That bitch is a piece of work. Why did you date her in the first place?" I raised my hands in defence. "I have no clue. I guess I saw something that was close to what I saw in an old flame that I was attracted to. That or I thought I'm not going to be with the person I first loved so go with the second best. Which who then later cheated on me." "Wo-wait. You loved someone before you met Lusy?" Chica asked while I blushed. "Yeah. I did. At the time I was younger and didn't really know but something inside me knew. I guess I had a real big crush on someone who I thought I was never going to have." "That's rough Rose. To be honset. I felt that way too towards someone but it ended with heartbreak. But now..." "Now there is someone who caught your eye?" I asked, wondering who this person could be. "Yeah. You could say that. But I'll never tell. Besides I think it well end like it did the first." "Oh. Well hey. If you really like the person try to fight for them. No matter what." I said while all I thought was 'If only I could practice what I pretch.'
The waitress came back with our food and drinks while me and Chica exchanged stories and jokes. She told me more of what I use to do as a kid that got me blushing in emberrisment but overall laughing at the things I did. "Memory lane is a real blast. Sure it has it's bumbs and all but in the end just remembering it makes it worth having it there for it helps shape you." "I agree Rose. I'm glad we got to get together like this just to catch up. I'm glad I got my best friend back." "I agree. I'm glad to be a part of your and the gang's lives again. Cheers." We clank our drinks together before I look over to the juke box. "Hey. What to uh cut a rug with me?" I asked her while gesturing to the juke box. She looks over then back at me, giggling slightly. "Sure." I stand up and hold out my hand to her which she takes and we head over to the juke box.
The juke box was full of records of classic 50's songs and a few that came out a bit later after the 50's. I guess the songs themselves were related to the 50's just not made during that time. We choose the song 'Groove is in the heart' by Dee-Lite and the both us started to dance similiar to how Barney and Robin from HIMYM danced but we added our own flares to the mix. We seemed to dance in sync with each other, like this was meant to be, like the both of us were meant to be. Not human and animatronic, not co-workers, not just as friends or best friends, but maybe hopefully someday lovers. My heart raced at the thought as we danced together like we were the only people there. The song soon ended and I had Chica in my arms, the both of us smiling. She looks up at me and we stare into each others eyes. I heard my heart beat about 30 miles a minute as I got lost in the pink orbs that was her eyes.
We only looked away to look at the other people here when we heard them clapping and cheering. "That was mighty fine dancing you two did. Amazing." One the waitstaff said to us. "Th-thanks." I said as Chica looked at the time on a clock nearby. "Oh Rose. We should head out. We have a movie to go see remember." she said and I looked at the time which read 7:45. "Wow. You're right Susie. Let me just pay for the food and we can head out." She nodded as I did just that. We soon left and went to the movie theater, we talked about which movie to see before deciding to see Me Before You.
When we got there we got you classic movie goer snack of popcorn, Chica got a diet soda and I got a bottle of water for the 5 hour energy mix I got eariler after practice. Chica did express her concern for me before the movie by saying that after the movie I could skip work and go home to sleep. It was true I was growning vert tired because of I am nearly close to going 24 hours of no sleep. But I told her I'll be fine, that I had the 5 hour energy to help keep me up and that it was the week end, I could sleep in when morning comes after work. It was very nice of her to be concerend over her long time friend, I'm glad to have this amazing girl in my life. The movie itself was real good, and the both of us even cried a little here and there during it.
This night was one of the best nights I ever had in my life with a person as amazing as Chica. After the movie ended, we left the theater and walked out to the parking lot towards where I parked. "That was a lovely movie Rose. Thank you for taking me out today." "Your welcome Chica." I looked at the time from my phone and saw it was about 15 minutes to 10 and the night sky was out. "Hey Chica we still have about an hour or so before work. What to take a walk through that park?" I asked her while gesturing to the park that was nearby. "Sure Rose. Let's go." She took my hand and we started walking towards said park, as we walked we talked about just about anything until Chica got cold and I gave her my jacket. I was use to the cold due to my mixed blood and I play hockey I might as well be a poler bear or a penguin.
"Thanks Rose. But won't you wait. You play hockey. You are use to the cold right?" "Yeah. I am. Glad you remember." "Of course I remember your stories on the ice." We laugh as we came upon a little play area with a swing set. "Want to take a swing?" I asked her and she laughs. "Sure Rose." She sat down in one of the seats and I gave her a good push to help her get started before I joined in on the other seat next to her. We soon started to swing side by side, laughing and just generally having fun. I decided to get a little risky and as I was up in the air, I let go and went flying before landing a few feet away. Chica stopped and came over to me.
"Rose that was dangerous. Be careful." "I well Chica. I'm sorry if I scared you with my stunt." "It's alright Rose. Just give me a warning next time. Ok?" "Ok." We continued our walk through the park, while stopping at a small lake to skip rocks and laying down in the grass to look up at the stars. "I had a very fun evening tonight Rose. You really know how to show a person a good time." Chica complaminted while I blush. "I'm glad too Chica that you had a good time. I have to say, this has been one the best nights of my life." "Really? What was the best?" "Reconnecting with my friends from Freddy Fazbear's pizza but most of all, reconnectiong with my best friend." I look over to her. "You Chica." She blushes before we got up and hugged each other.
I never wanted this moment to end but I knew we have to head back now so I could start my work shift. I took out my phone and sure enough it was 11:30. "Come on. We have to head back. It's 30 minutes to midnight." "Alright." We got up, walked through the park back to my car, got in then left the theater parking lot to head back to Freddy Fazbear's pizza.
