     Chapter Twenty Seven

            _Dinner and invite._

We walk out the house the house and down to my car, I started to walk to the drivers side, but I stopped myself, I had no clue where it was we are going. I look at  Tanner as he opened the passenger door for me, I walked over to the other side of the car then I slid in the tan seat, that really needed to get cleaned. He shut the door and went around to the other side of the car and got in, we both buckled up and he put the key in the ignition causing the car to start up with a roar of life. We drove to the downtown area that I seem to never go in. Tanner nervously taps hid fingers on the worn out steering wheel. I placed my hand on him thigh and he glances at me from the corner of his eye.

"Its going to be fine, every things going to work out." I reassure him, and myself as well.

"I know, just what if they don't like you, I mean they will make me choose, and I just cant do that I-I, I just don't know babe, I'm freaking out." He sighs out, his eyebrows knit together with stress.

"It's going to be just fine." I say rubbing his thigh slightly.

We pull up to a fancy restaurant named 'al di la Trattoria' Its an amazing Italian restaurant. We pull up and park, Tanner steps out and opens my door for me. I step out and grab the hand he was offering for me to take, he intwine's our fingers together and walked in the beautiful restaurant. A man in his mid-thirty's greeted us.

"Hello, welcome to al di la Trattoria, how many to a table?" A man asks in a thick Italian accent.

"We are actually meeting some people, Mr. and Mrs Park." Tanner said in a formal tone, his shoulders are square and his back is straight, thats something I havn't heard or seen before before, Which was quite a shock to hear him speak that way.

"Ahh, yes, this way." He said grabbing two menu's and started to walk through all the tables. We got to the middle of the tables when I saw an older man that looked just like Tanner and a woman beside him, they saw us and stood up, they gave Tanner a hug then looked at me.

"Ah, you must be Bella." The woman said glancing down at what I was wearing, she gave me a discussed look but quickly covered it with a warm smile.

"Yes, and you must be Mrs. Park." I say with a fake polite smile, while extending my hand to shake hers.

She shook my hand with a firm grip then said,

"Oh please, Call me Jane." She said smiling you could see she was a beautiful woman she had brown hair and bright green eyes, just like Tanner's.

"Okay, nice to meet you, Jane." I say returning the smile while correcting myself.

I turned to Tanner's father and smiled I was about to extend my hand but he surprised me by crushing me into an unexpected hug.

"Nice to meet you Bella, might I say my son picked out a beautiful girl, the name's Craig." He said letting go of me, he was a tall man with shaggy dark blonde hair-just like Tanners- and brown eyes.

"Nice to meet you." I say a light blush tingling on my cheeks, they both sat down.

Tanner pulled out the chair for me and I sat down. He asat down in the plush chair next to mine. We all picked up our menus, we all browsed through the menu tell the waiter came and asked us what we wanted, Craig got the Braised Rabbit with coke, Jane got the Steamed Bouchot Mussel with pepsi, Tanner got Asltimbocca Alla Romana with plane water and I got the Carpaccio with lemon water.

"So Bella, do you have a job?" Jane asks right off the bat, not missing a beat.

"Yes, yes I do, I quite enjoy it to." I say with a small smile, trying my best to sound convesing
