Wolf's Mate

Chapter 17

Wolf's Mate

We walked up to a man wearing a nice looking tux standing behind a podeum. "Good evening. Welcome to Jardin de L'amour or traslated to Garden of love. How may I help you?" he asked while I glance at Chica blush slightly at the translation 'I guess she didn't know the trans. as well when she suggested this place.' I thought as I look back at the man.

"Hello. I'm here for my resveration at 6:20. A table for 2. It should be under the name Rose Cross." I said to him as he checked a book in front of him, looking for my name. "Aww yes right here." He points to my name. "If you please follow me to your table and your date I well he-" "Wait. My date? Someone else is at my table?" I asked him as he looks at me confused. "Yes Miss. Cross. Your date came here shortly before you did, saying she was the person you were going to company this evening on a romantic date. I must say Miss. Cross you are quite lucky." "Hold on. That's impossable. The person I'm having dinner with is standing next to me." I gesture to Chica. "The person at the table is lying. Did you catch her name or what she look like?" I asked him, hoping it wasn't who I thought it was.

The man looked abit worried as he answered my question. "I didn't get her name but she had light brown hair and the most beautiful sky blue eyes." I shake my head and walked passed the man towards the doors that lead to the dinning area. Both Chica and the man were surpirsed by this and the man tried to stop me but I ignored him. My eyes scanned the room and I saw the cause of the problem. Sitting alone at a candle light table by a fireplace was my ex. Lusy Hearts. She looks up at the door and sees me then gives me a small wave. I turned away and walked back to Chica. "The person at the table is my ex." I said "Your ex is here? How and why?" Chica asked. "To ruin the outing. She must have heard me talking to Aaron about this place. I should have known she pull something like this when I didn't see her with the other cheerleaders during practice." I said as Lusy arrived.

"Oh hello love. I see you made it on time for the date. Come along and have a lovely romantic time with me, without the lousy girl next to you." Lusy said which got me growling in anger. "Lusy I'm not going in there with you. I'm on a date with Amanda not you. And don't you dare call her lousy when the only one who is, is YOU." I said to her as she glares. "Rose love. You don't mean that do you? I'm the love of your life. Your soulmate. Your wolf mate. The Alpha female to your alpha male. You said all of these to me remember?" she said as she smiles at hopefully with the same hopefullness in her tear filling eyes. "Yeah I remeber. I said all those when we dated before you CHEATED on me. You broke my heart Lusy. I no longer consider you those things. As far as the I'm concered you are you are no longer the love of my life. Let go of the past Lus. It's not good for you. Goodbye." I said as I took Chica's hand and we left. I'm not going to stay in the resatuant after that little show.

About half way to my car, I stopped and let go of Chica's hand before looking at her. "I'm so sorry Chica. I honestly didn't know that this was going to happen. I wasn't worried about her at the moment. If you wish, I'll take you back to the pizzeria and I'll see you later during my shift." I said to her as I looked to the ground. She places a hand on my cheek making me look at her. "It's alright Rose. You couldn't control what was going to happen with her. Let's just head somewhere else for our evening together. You know I was a little surprised when you said this was a date." She said making me blush as I realized my slip up. "Oh um I um uh I uh j-just s-said th-that t-to g-get h-her t-to let go of the p-past." I studdered out. "I thought that if I say that then maybe she well realize I moved on and so should she." I said and she laughs. "I understand Rose. Now let's get out of here and head somewhere else to eat and catch up on old times." "Yeah ok. I know this 50's themed dinner nearby we could go to. Not fancy or anything but I think it well be a good place." I said as we walked back to me car and left the parking lot to head to the dinner.
