Mate?

Chapter 11: Date?

Rachel POV

So we arrived at IHOP and now we are looking over the menus. I don't know what to order, so I'll just order a simple sandwich or something like that. All I really want is something that is food.

I was too busy looking over my menu that I hadn't realised that Mason was staring at me. I looked up and caught his eye. My heart had a small spasm. I really hate to sound cliche, but what they say about mates is true. Every little thing, from your heart fluttering, to the sparks. I still haven't decided if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Yet.

I broke the eye contact looking back down at my menu. I glanced over the sandwich section, that being my favourite section. I chewed on my lip as I brought the choices down to two. Well I really like turkey and cheese, so I'll just get that. I looked up and watched Mason as his eyes scanned through the menu before landing on an item.

I was so focused on him that I hadn't realised the waiter had walked over to our table. She was young, maybe 18 or 19, soft blonde hair, and a petite body. She gave me a shy smile and looked over at Mason, before looking back at me.

"Okay so are you two ready to order?" She asked, taking her pen out and clicking it.

I nodded and looked over at Mason, who gave a kurt nod as well.

"Okay, so what will you two be having today?" She looked at me, obviously. Women should always order first.

"Oh okay. I will have the turkey berry melt and can you bring me another water please?" I asked kindly, giving her a polite smile as well.

She returned my smile, "Of course. And for you sir?" Looking back down at her order pad, pen ready in her hand.

"I will have the blue cheese and bacon sirloin. And I would also like another water." Mason stated calmly.

Not bothering to give her a smile, not that she minded though. She was to busy writing something down. Finishing writing our order, she looked up and gave us a bright cheerful smile.

"Okay your order will be right out." We all know that's a lie. No offence, but restaurants take forever to give you, your food.

Glancing over at Mason and remembering I still have questions for him, so I guess what better time than now?

"So how did you convince Alpha Dylan to let you have an arranged mate-ship?" I seriously wanted to know the question to that. Dylan was very strict when it came to arranged mate-ships.

"Eh it was pretty simple. I just made up an excuse, and from there everything was pretty easy." he said nonchalantly while taking a sip of his water. Taking his eyes off his phone for a moment, looking over at me, then back at his menu.

"Oh well I can't be your mate." I said calmly. He choked on his water. I smirked but quickly dropped it, pretending to be looking through my phone.

"What why?!? I-I-.... You can't leave me." I shrugged. He can fret all he wants "Tell me why you can't mate with me! Are you with someone else? Who is this wolf? I swear when I see him I'm....."

"Whoa calm down. No there isn't anyone else. I... well I want to go to college. And you can't stop me." I said looking at my food that had just arrived. Well never mind I guess the chefs must be really fast, but looking around the restaurant, there wasn't that many people here either.

Our waiter have us a smile placing our plates on our table and making sure everything was okay. Of course everything was alright, we had our food. She smiled once again and walked away. I turned my attention back to Mason as I picked up a fry and dipped it in ketchup.

"Well to bad you aren't going to collage. I don't care how much you want to go, your my mate and you can't leave me." He said strictly while picking up his knife and fork. Preparing to cut his meat. He acted so calm, like he could just control me.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah says the one that didn't want a mate in the first place." I stated.

His reaction was a surprise because he actually kinda looked.... regretful? Whoa that's a surprise. "Well that was... it doesn't matter. What matters is that I was wrong and maybe I do want a mate..." his eyes widen as he said the last part. I'm pretty sure mine did too. So this man might want a mate? Well this will be interesting to watch.

After that we just ate in silence. Well I mean it was an awkward silence. He is so boring. I wonder when his birthday is.

"September 8th"

"Huh what?" I asked looking confused he gave this husky laugh. Well if that isn't attractive. No. Yes? Maybe.

"My birth date. September 8th." He said while whipping his mouth off. Oh I must of been thinking out loud.

"You were." He stated holding my gaze. I need to stop. What's wrong with me? I've been acting so weird lately.

"So when's your birthday?"

"March 22." I said shrugging looking down at my half eaten food. He nodded and then looked down as well. I think we were both done but I'm not sure.

"You done?" I asked. He nodded.

We paid and then left. I personally made sure our waiter received a tip. She was so sweet and nice.

So now we're in the car in the stupid awkward silence. I swear today gay babies are just popping out. I smiled at the thought. Babies are adorable, so young and cute. Wait why am I thinking of babies? Well I shouldn't be surprised, it's been like this the whole day.

"So where do you want to go?" he asked me softly. Looking at me and licking his bottom lip, my eyes were glued to those sinful lips.

Dear moon goddess, I believe you owe me an explanation, why is Mason so sexy?

"To the park?" I questioned slowly shrugging my shoulders.

He nodded and turned on the car and headed towards the park. "Why the park?"

"I really like our park." I smiled and looked out the window. It wasn't long after I said that, when I felt Mason place his hand on mine. Sending those delicious sparks up my body and to my where my heart is. I looked down at his hand and turned my hand, intwining our fingers. He didn't look away from the road, but he softly squeezed my hand.
