Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 7 (Forced Date)

I couldn't keep my eyes of him. It was tragic, stupid and a complete unfortunate coincedence! How the hell did I end up on a date with my stalker? This is impossible! My mouth still hung open as I kept my unfaltering gaze locked onto him like a target on its victim. As his eyes lifted of the ground they met mine and immediately a evil grin formed on his surprised face. I averted my eyes withing a split second and gulped.

'Urm..so..urhh...is that him?' I asked in a croaky voice to the handsome man sitting across me.

'Oh yes, yeah that's him alright!' he stated in a monotone voice and checked his watch to emphasise his tardiness.

'Urm sorry I have to excuse myself for a minute,' I whispered quickly and fast walked towards the womans restroom ignoring my friends angry calls at my abrupt behaviour.

I flung the door open and nearly tripped in my rush to get inside, everyone just moved out the way like I was some psychotic monster. With a huge sigh I made my way towards the mirror and observed the girl in the reflection. Her hair was up in a neat bun, however a few curly strands still fell around my pale horror-struck face. I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm myself down. There must be some way to get out of here without coming in contact with him again. As I contemplated on my escape routes the door banged open again and a exceedingly flustered looking Steph walked in.

'Analise Thomson what the hell do you think your doing?' she hissed through her teeth her face contorted in anger.

'Using the restroom! I thought that was a bit obvious?' I replied calmly trying to keep a straight face.

'Do you think this is a joke? That was really rude come on lets go outside and please, please...PLEASE make a good impression for ME? Will you do that for me?' she pleaded, using the puppy-dog expression (which was totally unfair as she knew I was a sucker for it!)

After several minutes on analyzing my options I took a massive exasperated sigh and relied through gritted teeth, 'Fine but only for you and we have an hour!'

A huge smile filled her face at my words and she grabbed hold of my hand and literally dragged me outside to join her awaiting date and me...well my unbearably annoying stalker!

This was going to be one loooooonnnggggg date! -_-

'Hello ladies is everything alright?' the wierdo asked in a taunting tone directing the question towards me. I grinded my teeth and clenched my fists in an effort to control my anger.

'Oh everything is just peachy!' My voice was dangerously low and if looks could kill, he would be dead 50 times by now! Steph squeezed my hand and gestured for me to sit down beside him. I gawked at her as if she had just told me to stuff my head down a toilet. She wanted me to to sit down beside HIM? The lunatic. Recieving a death glare from her I growled and sat down with a huff beside him scooching at the edge of the joined chairs to create a safe distance between us.

'Are you okay?' Stephs date asked me.

'Urm yeah you?' I mentally slapped myself at such a stupid reply 'yeah you' like what the hell!

'Fine...thanks my name is Chace Pettyfer,' he smiled flashing his pearly whites at me.

'That's nice my name is Analise,' I gave him my sweetest smile and from the corner of my eyes saw my friend nodding her head in approval.

'This is my brother Alex,' he continued glancing towards my stalker.

'Hmmm...Alex,' I muttered under my breath as his name rolled of my tongue. The waiter came interuppting my thoughts and gave us the menu to order! I stared at in pure confusion and horror as I realised everything was in french! With no translation, what kind of a restaurant was this? I gulped and scanned the menu card hoping to find atleast one familiar name and avoid looking like a complete idiot! I peeked up to see my friend totally engrossed with her new boyfriend while I rolled my eyes. I also spotted 'Alex' smirking at me as I pretended to read the awful menu. To be honest french hadn't always been my best subject and it was hitting me right up in the face now!
