The Alphas got a Human Mate

Chapter 6: First date gone bad

(Picture on the side is of Nate)

I was sitting on my bed reading a book as I waited for Ethan and Emma to get here. We had planned a movie night instead of going out somewhere because lets face it, we were all lazy.  As I waited for Ethan and Emma to get here, I got a text from a number I didn't know.

All it said was  "Coffee?".  At first, I had no idea who it was but that changed very quickly when I got a call from Ethan. He was canceling on me last minute cause of some family emergency. I decided to ask him if he knew who it was and he got this genius idea that it might be Nate.

"Why the hell would Nate have my number? No, scratch that, HOW would Nate have my number?"

Ethan hesitated before saying "He might have asked me for your number at that charity event a few days ago"

"What?? Why would you give him my number without asking me Ethan?"

"let me finish Elena... I didn't give him your number so he asked Emma for it, she thought he was just some hot guy trying to hit on you so she gave your number to him thinking she was helping you"

Of course Emma did! For some reason she was always trying to 'help me' meet new guys. Ugh.

"Thanks Ethan. Hope everything is okay with your family, call me when you can. Bye." I hung up right away, a little annoyed at him even though I knew it wasn't his fault.

I decided I might as well reply, knowing I had nothing better to do all day. I first asked him who it was just to make sure it was Nate. When that was verified, I agreed to meet him in an hour at a coffee shop nearby. I made sure to chose one not too close to my house. I didn't exactly want him to know where I lived.

About an hour later, I was dressed in black ripped skinny jeans and a short sleeves plain blue loose top. I slipped on my Nike's and got my wallet as I left the house just in time. I got to the coffee shop where I saw Nate sitting in a booth in the corner with two coffees. He wore black dress pants with a simple white dress shirt tucked in and had the sleeves rolled up in a rough style. Mmm he looked edible right now, and then there is me, completely underdressed. 

"Hi" I smiled, trying to hide the fact that I had just been checking him out. Though I didn't miss his eyes skimming my body. "Hey. I thought about waiting but I just couldn't, so I got one for you too." He smirked, handing me a coffee from the two he was carrying.

"Thank you" I sat down across from him. I still found this a little weird. Was this a date? I'm pretty sure it was. Except I hadn't been on a first date for god knows how long. Ahh this is bad. Just keep your cool Elena, and everything will be fine, I told myself.

"So..." He said awkwardly, "how about 21 questions? You can go first if you like"

"Okay. How old are you?"

"22. You?"

"16" I internally smirked, awaiting his reaction. First he looked a little shocked, then disturbed. His reactions kept changing until I suddenly burst out laughing. I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Oh my God you should have seen your face!" I literally could not stop laughing, so I didn't. After a few more minutes of me laughing non stop and him glaring at me, I finally sobered up. "I'm 20." A look of relief crossed his face and he begin to smile a little. "That was not funny" he almost pouted. Aww how cute!

"Alright next. Any siblings?"

"Nope. I'm an only child. What about you?"

"I have an older brother but he moved out about two years ago for college, visits sometimes but that's all" I frowned. I had been close to my older brother, but ever since he left, I rarely talked to him ever.

I was about to ask him my next question when his phone started ringing. "I'm sorry, I have to take this" he got up and walked outside where I could see him walking back and forth, he seemed a bit tense. He came back inside smiling and not so tense anymore.

"There's an emergency back at home. I'm gonna have to go but maybe next time we can continue?" What's up with everyone having emergencies today?

"Sure" I got up and offered to walk him to his car. I didn't want to waste anymore of his time by making him walk me to mine.

We stood by his car which happened to be parked behind the building for whatever reason, as we discussed when we could meet next. I wouldn't admit it, but there was something about him that made me want to meet him again.

We planned to meet the next night at a restaurant which was not far from the coffee shop we were at right now.

"Bye" I smile while internally debating on whether or not to hug him. "Hope everything is okay at home..". I settle on just waving as I notice he doesn't make a move to get near me. "yeah, thank you" he responds with an odd look now on his face.

I turn around to walk back to my car before it gets anymore awkward when suddenly a wet towel was pressed to my mouth and nose. The last thing I remembered before I passed out was the strong smell of whatever was on that towel and Nate saying "Sorry princess, but I have to do this" and then I was gone.

She is not dead! He used chloroform which is the old fashioned style (kinda). Anyway this is kind of where the story actually starts, everything gets put into place from here so please let me know what you think so far?

Just so you know, this is not a typical werewolf story. Also, I will not be emphasizing on things. I will try to keep it as realistic as possible without having to over exaggerate anything.
