Dinner

———————

Y/n walked up to the restaurant where she was supposed to meet Angela and Jessica, only to find them walking out. "Hey, guys I'm sorry I-" y/n started but was cut off by Angela's worried tone "Where were you? We left you messages" Angela said, "yeah we waited, but we were like starving, so we.." Jessica trailed off as she saw Edward approaching. "I'm sorry I kept y/n from dinner, we just ran into each other and got talking," he said flashing his not-seen-very-often smile, to anyone who knew y/n his statement would have been unbelievable but the two girls in front of her (one more than the other) were just happy to have Edward speak to them. Both girls were speechless at his comment "No, we understand I mean, it happens right?" Jess stuttered out smiling, "Um, we were- yeah we were just leaving so um, y/n if you wanna" Jessica pointed to the car they drove her in asking if she was coming with. "I think I should make sure y/n gets something to eat. If you'd like. I'll drive you home myself" Edward asked looking right at y/n. She listened to the two girls on each side of her send 'That's so thoughtful' and 'yeah's back and forth. "Yeah, yeah I should eat," Y/n said. "Okay, we'll see you tomorrow then." They said. Y/n nodded as they turned around and walked up to the restaurant

"Alright one mushroom ravioli," the waiter said as she placed y/n plate down in front of her. "Thank you," y/n said politely and sent the woman a tight-lipped smile, "yeah no problem," she said before turning to Edward "So are you sure there's not anything I can get you?" she asked him with a slight flirt in her tone. Edward glanced at her before settling his eyes back on y/n "No, no thank you" he said with a small smile. "Well let me know," the woman said as she walked away. Y/n stared at him in wonder, "Are you not gonna eat? I mean I feel kind of weird eating in your face like this." She said.

Edward huffed out a laugh before replying "No I'm on a um, special diet". Y/n sighed looking down at her plate of food then back up at him "You gotta give me some answer" she said. "Yes, no, to get to the other side, 1.77245-" "I don't wanna know what the square root of pi is," she said rolling her eyes. "You knew that?" He asked cheekily, y/n squinted her eyes at him. "you knew where I was, how?" She demanded. "I didn't" he denied. Y/n nodded and began getting up "Alright-" she said, and for once another emotion what looked to be panic crossed his face "Don't leave. I-" he said cutting himself off and letting out a sigh. Y/n sat back down, "were you following me? Did you see me out or something? I need answers," she said, almost begging him to explain himself, immediately after she asked he spoke "I feel very protective of you," he said. "So you followed me?" She asked looking away from him for a second before returning his gaze. "I was trying to keep a safe distance in case you needed my help and then I heard what those lowlifes were thinking," he said huffing out a laugh.

"Hold on slow down, you heard what they were thinking?" She asked, "So you read minds." She confirmed. He again huffed out a laugh and began looking around the restaurant "I can read every mind in this room, apart from yours" he said, the last part didn't come as much of a surprise as the first part, she'd always been told she was hard to read even when her emotions were being laid out on a silver platter for everyone to see. He began looking around the room and saying what everyone was thinking. Until he got to her "And then you, nothing. It's very frustrating" He said. Y/n nodded taking in the information, "I've always been told I'm hard to read, never thought anyone would mean it literally" Y/n said sheepishly. Edward laughed "I just told you I can read minds and that's what you say?" He asked. "Oddly enough it doesn't scare me. It's familiar, I don't know why" she said softly looking down at her untouched food but Edward heard her. He sighed making her look back up at him "What?" She asked. "I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore," he said, staring into her eyes with an intensity she'd never seen before. "Then don't" she replied recuperating his stare.

Driving back home was awkward, y/n felt the tension layered on thick. "I think I'm warm enough now," she said and reached to turn off the heat, coming in contact with his hand that reached to do the same. His hand was cold, and y/n looked at him in wonder as he tensed "You could leave it on if you're still cold?" She suggested, at this, he visibly relaxed letting out a breath. He shook his head "No I'll be fine it's just nerves" he said. Y/n nodded not pushing him further as he reached to turn off the heat this time.

"Charlie's still there can you pull in?" Y/n quietly asked him watching as the flashing lights of police cars passed them and surrounded the police station. "That's my father's car on the end," Edward said softly. He said as he pulled into the parking lot and parked. "What is he doing here?" He asked face etched with confusion as they exited the car. "Carlisle, what's going on?" He asked his father. "Waylon was found in a boat out near his place. I just examined the body" Carlisle said. "He's dead?" Y/n asked in shock. The doctor nodded "How?" She asked. The doctor shared a look with Edward "Animal attack" he said. "The same one that got the security guard down in Mason?" She asked. "Most likely" he answered. "It getting closer to town" "Y/n you should go inside, Waylon was a friend of Charlie's," he said. Y/n nodded and turned to Edward, "thanks for dinner and the ride, I'll see you later" she said and walked into the station.

"Hey," she greeted Charlie. "Hey," he replied. After a couple of seconds of silence y/n spoke again. "I'm so sorry for your loss," she said sitting down beside him. "I've known him going on 30 years," he said sadly. Not knowing what to say Y/n placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and he placed his over hers. Suddenly he started looking around "Don't worry about it we're gonna catch this thing. In the meantime I want you to carry this with you," he said pulling out a green bottle of pepper spray. Y/n grimaced "I'm not sure you-" "It'll give me some peace of mind" he cut her off before she could disagree. She took the bottle "Okay" she said. "Let's go home," he said.
