Ch.8 ~ Awkwardness

A/n: Hey guys sorry it been almost a week since I uploaded. I've had a few things to sort ready for the new year and of course my bank decided to be a dick and block my card which is something I really needed. But everything's sorted now and I'm looking to be uploading again over the weekend.

Y/n's POV

The three of us made it inside the restaurant and walked over to one the nearest free tables. It was kind of awkward between the three of us.

My side was aching from the tumble I had taken earlier and my mind was running with an abundance of questions about the events which had gone down.

The restaurant itself was a quiet place though was practically full with customers. Art works hung on the wall, fairy lights draped in doorways and across the bar. Each individual table had its own dimly lit lamp.

It was actually kind of cozy and I'd probably enjoy it a lot more if the three of us weren't sharing awkward glances and smiles every five seconds.

Eventually a waitress came over with our order and placed them on the table in front of Bella and I since Edward hadn't ordered.

"One mushroom ravioli and one spaghetti and meatballs."

"Thanks." Bella and I chime together sending her a half smile.

"Yeah, no problem. So are you sure there isn't anything I can get you?" The waitress was clearly flowering with Edward that made me giggle slightly.

Sending her another polite half smile Edward responded with a simple no as the waitress walked away saying "let me know."

Bella let out a low chuckle as she turned to Edward, their gazes catching. I slumped down further into my chair praying for someone to come save me.

The romantic music playing in the background wasn't helping my internal third wheel complaints either.

"You're really not gonna eat?" Bella asked.

"No, I'm on a special diet." Edward answered. I had heard about this from all the Cullens which I found strange since they rarely ... actually never ate during lunch.

I looked at my plate and grabbed the knife and fork as I began cutting up the food.that's when Bella let out a big inhale sigh demanding answers from Edward.

I stabbed a meatball and some spaghetti on my fork and took a bite. 'God this food is actually really nice.'

"I don't need to know the square root of pie." I heard Bella exclaim in annoyance as Edward stared innocently back at her and said.

"You knew."

Bella, being as stubborn as she is, started grabbing her thing and standing up. I sighed as the aching in my hip had finally subsided and now I was going to have to stand and part from my food earlier than expected.

Though to my surprise when Edward had stuttered out for her not to leave she actually sat back down. "How's you know where we were? Did you follow us or something?"

I looked between the two and decided I would dismiss myself as Edward looked physically uncomfortable and I knew Bella was feeling nervous.

"I'll be right back." I mutter standing slowly with my hand on my hip. I whined a little as I stood but before Bella could ask what was wrong I began walking towards the bathroom.

Once inside I leant up against the door bumping my head slightly as I let out the biggest sigh ever glad to be away from the two 17 year olds that are acting like they have a 12 year old crush on each other.
