Chapter 9: Macy

Macy:

We all stare at each other. Well, more like Lucy and I glare at Levi and Xavier while they just half stare half glare at us. None of us has said a word to each other.

"Hola, como estás? How are you guys today?" the waitress says. No one responds. "Well, I'm Clara and I'll be your server tonight. Can I start you off with drinks?"

"Lemonade," Lucy orders, not taking her eyes off Xavier.

"Iced raspberry tea," I order, still glaring at Levi.

"Lemonade," Xavier orders, also not taking his eyes off of Lucy. Of course he orders lemonade.

"Iced raspberry tea," Levi orders. How dare he?

"Coming right up," the waitress walks away.

We stare/glare at each other for another moment, before Xavier speaks up.

"This is ridiculous. Can we talk about this?" Xavier asks.

"Oh, so now you want to talk?" I say.

"You plan on telling I the truth this time?" Lucy adds.

"Macy, Levi, can you guys move to another table for a sec? I need to talk to Lucy," Xavier asks us. Levi nods and the two of I get up and move to the next table behind them.

Levi and I glare at each other for a while.

"Wait, why are we mad at each other?" Levi says.

"Because you got us locked in a flipin fridge," I reply.

"I said sorry," Levi says.

I shrug. "Okay then."

Lucy:

"What do you want?" I ask Xavier.

"I want to apologize. I should have told you that I worked there, I should have called you earlier, and I should have kept in touch with you over the last three years," Xavier apologizes sincerely. I look down at my hands. "I should have kept my promises." I look up at him.

The look he gives me makes me smile. I can't help but laugh in my head at his puppy dog eyes. "Yeah, you should have."

My smile seems to make him smile. "I'll try harder, trust me," Xavier says grabbing my hand across the table.

"Okay, I trust you."

"I love you."

I get goosebumps as he says those three powerful words. I smile. "I love you, too." Xavier moves over to my side of the booth and plants a kiss on my lips, just as Macy and Levi come back.

"I guess we are all good then," Levi says.

"Yep," I say. We enjoy our dinner, talking and laughing. We are about to leave when I realize my hands are kind of sticky. "I'm gonna go wash my hands, wait for me outside." I head over to the bathroom to wash my hands.

Janessa:

We all stare hard into our menus. No one has said a word.

"Hola, how are you guys today?" say a waitress who comes up to us. "Wow, you guys have more tension than the last table I served." I hear her mumble. "Can I start you guys off with drinks?"

I look up at her and smile. Her name tag says Clara. "Yes, I'll have a sprite."

"A Coke for me, please," Oliver orders.

"I'll have a water," Mason says.

"I'll have a lemonade," Gia orders with such a fake sweet tone. That's so annoying! What does Mason see in her? I mean, it's not like I care. Right?

"Coming right up," the waitress walks away.

We all go back to concentrating hard on our menus. This is seriously awkward.

"Janessa?" I hear a familiar voice. I turn my head to see Lucy. "What are you guys doing?"

"Oh, hey Lucy," Oliver says.

"Watcha guys doing?" Lucy asks.

"We're hanging out, together," I plaster a fake smile on my face.

"Okay, then. I'll see you later," Lucy says. She glares at Gia and Mason as she walks away.

"So, how long have you and Oliver been dating?" Gia asks.

"Just about two years," I reply. "How long have you two been together?" I hate the sound of that.

"Same. Mason gave me this beautiful bracelet on our one year anniversary," Gia shows it off.

"Wow, how orginal," I roll my eyes. Mason got me a bracelet similar to it. I guess everything he did meant nothing.

Lucy:

Just five minutes til my shift ends here at Hobby Lobby. I finish up some stocking up the shelves and my shift ends. I head to the employees lounge to grab my bag. I place the vest in my bag and change into work out clothes in the employee dressing room, then walk out.

"Oh, hey Lucy," I hear Michael's voice call out. I look over and see Michael and Oliver.

"Hey, guys," I greet them.

"Where are you heading?" Oliver asks.

"Maxton Video Studios," I reply. "Oh, hey what exactly was going on yesterday?"

"It's kind of complicated. Janessa pretended I was her boyfriend because Mason was dating Gia and then we went on this double date. It was weird," Oliver shrugs.

"Okay, then. I'll see you guys later," I say.

"Bye," the guys say.

I drive my car over to Maxton Video Studios. I walk into the empty dance studio. Today is supposed to be a planning day for just the four of us, but Janessa 'can't make it', Alex has homework, and Macy has a class so she'll be late. As I do stretches, I listen to the song. This song is getting seriously annoying. I honestly don't care how much you want this pretty girl to want you. It's seriously like Jason Derulo's Want To Want Me. I do a little free style to the song to get warmed up.

I start to hear clapping.

"I'm glad you like the song," Blake says.

"Actually, it's still annoying," I respond and face myself in the mirror.

Blake chuckles. "Well, you can blame your friend Tyrece for that. He's the one who mostly wrote the song."

I turn around and see Blake is standing just a couple of feet away from me. "How did you know that I was friends with Tyrece?" He smirks as a flash of yellow flashes in his right eye. I've seen that before. "You're a-"

"Blake," Jackson Kyles stands in the doorway. "Gail needs you up in the front." Lucas Gail is the director.

"Be right there," Blake says. He gives me a wink and then walks away.

My phone rings. It's Xavier.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey, Lucy. There's something I need to tell you. Blake is a," Xavier starts.

"A werewolf. I know," I finish up his sentence.
