The Powers I Possess Are Fatal

Chapter 12

James climbed on the bike grabbed my hands and pulled them so that I was hugging him, hands held together around his front so that I wouldn't fall of. We made our way to the diner and we were lucky it had stopped raining and the sun had started to shine. We pulled up at the diner and waited for Lexi and Louise to arrive with their other halves. I had so much to talk to them about and the great thing about Parker's diner is that it was also a bowling alley. To know surprise Louise was running late which I found out when she texted me at 8pm. Lexi had arrived smack on 8pm so technically she was on time. We decided to wait outside for Louise as she said she was only going to be 10 minutes. Lexi and I decided to leave the boys to it so that they could get to know each other better and so that we could have a proper catch up. We walked over to one of the picnic tables around the back of the diner and sat down.

We talked about what we had been up to and how well things were going with James and Caleb. She said that it was all going well and that they had talked about getting engaged but hadn't really made up their minds. Then she asked me what I had been up to. Like I was going to tell her the truth she'd think I was crazy! So I replied with a smile 'Well a lot has happened since we last talked I mean I have a promise ring from James saying that one day we will get married, we had sex for the first time. Oh and he brought me a motor bike.' Lexi didn't pick up on the sex part of what I had said only the motor bike and honestly I was glad. She was really annoyed that I had a motor bike and that she had been with Caleb for 3 years and he had never got her anything like James had got me. I didn't personally see what the big deal was I mean everyone's relationships are different. We made our way back to the boys and they were laughing about something. I walked straight over to James and wrapped my arm around his waist and put my hand in one of his back pockets, just the casual girlfriend thing.

Lexi on the other hand was giving poor Caleb an evil look and he was looking back at her all confused. I think she was jealous of me for having a motor bike and angry with Caleb that he has never gotten her one. We made light conversation until Louise arrived 20 minutes after we arranged to meet up. I was shocked when she arrived on the back of the motor bike with the shortest skirt ever created. Calling it a skirt is really the incorrect word it was more of a belt. I mean I wasn't the best person dressed as I would create my own clothes and yes they would be short but I would never wear anything like that, I prefer my ass to be covered! We all walked into the diner and sat down in one of the booths. We all ordered some food and a drink. I was the only one who decided to have an ice tea, everyone else had coke. We all ordered burgers to go with our drinks and that was about the only thing that we all agreed on having. It was weird that we all liked the same things and we all knew what each other would be ordering.

It was weird being on a triple date with my friends as me and James usually stayed in or went out just the two of us so I felt a little uncomfortable. Also seeing as this was on my birthday and I was on a weird date it made me feel at ease as I wouldn't have to deal with a big fuss from anyone about my birthday. After all I was only turning 18 it's not that big a deal, but I still felt a little uncomfortable being sat with strangers. Well I did until James draped one of his arms over my shoulders. Then I started to feel comfortable, safe and I started to enjoy it. We have all got our own sofa within the booth as it was made up of three so it was a 'U' shape. Myself and James where sat in the middle and we had Lexi and Caleb to our left and Todd and Louise to our right. Lexi was holding Caleb's hand and Todd had his one arm wrapped around Louise's waist. We were all very loved up in my opinion. The conversation was going very well until Lexi made a comment about Louise's last relationship. I don't think she intended to bring it up because she put her hand over her mouth half way through saying it and she looked really sorry. Besides she has this thing it's called foot in mouth disease, she just can't help it. But that put a dampener on the conversation and it created an awkward silence for a while.
