Unholy Gestures

Chapter 4

"Mr and Mrs Diaz, your friends are waiting in the large room upstairs." The waitress says. It wasn't Katherine, though, and we wouldn't be in her area tonight.

I have to talk to Claire, why would she do this to me.

"Of course, we know the way there, thank you." Cole replied. We made our way through the dimly lit restaurant and I could see the table that we would sit at, taken by a young couple who seemed to be on their first date, none of the awkwardness of knowing each other has been changed. They were still getting to know each other.

The dark burgundy walls seems to jump out at me, the doubts that Clair had put into my mind was eating at me and making me question everything. And it shouldn't, I love him and he loves me.

But, that's what I thought about James. We lived together for years and he still had sex with a random girl.

No, that's not Cole, no matter his past he has changed since I have been with him. Heath and Tyler have said so.

We walked up the stairs and made our way into the single room where everyone we knew crowded around the tables that had been pushed together to accommodate our needs.

"Hey, they finally made it. What was so important that you had to stay behind?" Dylan asked raising an eyebrow. I blushed and left the response for Cole.

"You'll know when you're on your honeymoon Dyl." He said winking.

"I remember the times when we were young and carefree." Porter says sighing.

We took our seats, the only ones left between Jax and Heath, so I chose to sit next to Jax, obviously.

I turn to him as everyone goes back to their conversations and ask, "Can you, me and Claire talk tonight? I know a great place we can go."

His eyes showing concern, "Of course, any reason for this?"

"Nah, just want to chat to you guys without everyone around. Just the three of us, like old times."

"Hi all, I'm your waitress for the evening, my names Katherine but please, call me Kat." A voice came from the entrance.

I look behind me to see the short, curvy brunette standing at the entrance. I inhale sharply but quietly.

"Just let me know when everyone is ready to order." She finishes.

I could feel Cole's sharp intake also and his arm that he hadn't taken off my shoulder slid off and rested by his side.

"We'll give you a call Kat." Heath said winking at her. With that, Katherine left the room.

Surely not because he knew her. Just because he hit on anything that moved. Not because she is someone that used to go out with Cole. Surely not.

"Are we going to get our usual and share?" I asked Cole to take my mind off things.

"I'm more in the mood for the Moussaka tonight." He replied not looking me in the eye.

"Hey, Addi, what do you recommend getting?" Clair asked me.

"The Dolmades is amazing."

"Oo, sounds nice, is that what you're getting?"

"No, I'm not that hungry. I'm just going to get the Courgette balls."

Claire frowned at me. I was someone who was always hungry, would eat anything and jump at the chance to try a new cuisine.

'Later' I mouth at her.

The rest of the dinner went smoothly, other than Heath obviously hitting on Katherine it was just a normal dinner with friends.
