Meeting Innocence

7

"Vero, please" Jacob says giving her a warning look his hand that is on my almost bear thigh forms into a fist, his eyes turn a darker blue.

"No actually, she doesn't know but I am old enough to date who ever I want" I say and look back at Jacob who wears a smirk that he tries so hard to hid but is miserably failing at it.

"Sassy, there is a fighter hidden inside her, something dark. Am I right?" She asks and leans back in her seat staring into my eyes.
I can't help feel uncomfortable.
What is she on about?
This girl gives me the creeps.

"Come on Verona, please. Not in the mood for your drama." Jacob's voice cuts in. Warning her with his looks again.
The way his looks changes into something empty, cold and life less scares me.
His so diplomatic. One minute he is kind loving and caring and the next minute he is this cold, empty and raged man.
This side of him, I do not like.
It scares me.

"We both know am telling the truth killer" she giggles like a little girl.
Killer.
That is rather weird and awkward for a nick name.

Killer.
Why would anyone want to be called, killer?

"Why else would she be so drown to a man like you?" She asks looking at Jacob who just give her a stone cold look.

"Vero please" he pleads but more like warning her.
He is nervous.
His hand that is peacefully resting on my thigh starts to shake.
I don't know if it is because of nervousness or anger or better yet both.

I look to Verona as I hear her gasp, covering her mouth with her right hand showing her long red painted nails.
So elegant, whish my hands could look this elegant. Well I just don't to pay attention to my nails, I have to work to provide for myself.
Verona's voice snaps me out of my train of thoughts.

"She doesn't know, you have not told her? Off course you haven't. Well good luck with that" she says as she gets up from her seat.

"It was nice meeting you Bella, thanks for the dinner. See you when we meet again, if we meet. That is if you will not be dea_ never mind" she says and walks to the door.
That was weird.

She stops at the door and says,

"Can I have a word with you Jacob, please?" She asks and just after seeing jack raise from his seat.

She turns back walking away but then stops.

AGAIN!

"Or and don't break his heart Bella, if you do. I will find you and I will kill you slowly, I can promise you that" she says with a wide grin like she is not just from threatening me.

"Come on Vero, really?" Jacob cuts in.

This is so weird. Why is he friends with her anyways?

If it was a metaphor which I strongly feel it was not, then it was over used.
And if it was a joke, then it was not funny

I could not even force a smile.

Who is she she?

She is so scaring.

Short I know, I will make it up to you in the next chapter.
