CRYSTAL POV
I woke up suprised with myself. I had a smile on my face. But it wasn't a fake, plastic smile i used to place almost every morning. It was a genuine one, showing just how happy i was inside. Although my wolf was growling me and telling me that i belonged with Blake, i ignored her and though about Chase.
Maybe we are meant to be together. He gives me butterflies and i've been thinking about quite a lot lately. He likes me back and he seems like the guy that would not do what Blake did to me. He actually seems like the guy that would do the opposite.
Sitting up, i did a small stretch before getting off the bed and heading towards the bathroom where i had a quick shower. As i was towel drying my hair, i let my mind wonder to what i would wear to the date. Maybe casual wear? But what if we go somewhere fancy? I should probably ask him.
After changing into some home clothes, i made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Good morning!" I greeted my brothers who were sitting at the table, eggs and bacon on their plates. If you haven't noticed, my brothers are almost always together. It's as though they're inseprable.
"You look happy despite what happened yesterday," Nate commented as i plopped down in the chair next to him.
"Yeah. I was expecting you to be locked up in your room." Sam added, making me give him a flat look. I was no longer that girl!
"Nah, i made a good decision and i'm happy with it." I smiled, thinking of my decision.
"Oh yeah? What was it?" Nate asked, shoving a forkful of eggs into his mouth. I opened my mouth to tell him but just then Blake walked into the room, followed by a few other pack members. They were in a conversation so i kept my mouth shut. Plus, he also didn't know about my decision and i wasn't sure how he would react to it.
He gave me a small smile but continued to listen to the pack member who was explaining to him some tactics to upgrade our security. I smiled back of course, not wanting to be rude to him. But then his facial expression changed as though he had rememebered something. He quickly gave me that look that said 'stay here, i need to talk to you'.
"So, you going to tell us?" Sam asked, breaking me of my thoughts.
"Oh, right. I'll tell you guys later. When there's less people around." I nodded my head slightly at Blakes direction, hoping they would get the hint. Both their mouths formed a tiny O and they both glanced at Blake. Blake, who had supernatural powers, obviously heard my comment and went stiff. "I'll see you guys later." I hurriedly stood up and left the room, hoping to escape the awkwardness.
He hasn't done anything yet that would help to show me he wanted me back. He had apologized and pleaded but come on! He cheated on me for goodness sake! I can't just nod and go back to him. The trust i had for him has gone down by a million and he has to show me that i can trust him again.
Sighing in frustration, i began my walk up the stairs but of course there had to be a barrier that would stop me. As soon as i stepped onto the first step, he came up from behind me, placing a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to face his smile. I couldn't help but to smile back.
"Hey," He greeted.
"Hi."
"Have you eaten? Are you free?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest and rubbing his elbows. I smiled, thinking this was the perfect opportunity.
"I have not eaten and i am free." I happily stated. He grinned, showing his perfect white teeth.
"Would you like to accompany me to the Dennys?" I raised an eyebrow. "As an apology for the things i said last night. I shouldn't have discriminated your friends." Blake mumbled, looking down.
"It's fine. You just need to think more about what you're about to say next. But i don't mind going to Dennys. As long as it's on you." I teased. He looked up, his lips in a grin again. I was in a good mood and i wanted everyone around me to smile.
"Then leggo."

"So, how are you feeling?" Blake asked once the waiter was out of ear shot. I smiled up at him.
"I'm better, thanks. I just need to find a way to get them back," I mumbled, spacing out as i thought evil thoughts on getting them back. I remember one of the first pranks i wanted to do to Bruce. I was going to cling wrap his entire car about 20 times, making it merely impossible for him to get in. Maybe if i do that to Bruces and Chases car but then do another set combining the two cars....
"What?" I asked, snapping my head up as i heard him give out a deep chuckle.
"I've never met this side of you. The...crazy side." He raised an eyebrow.
"Well that's because i feel free and as though no one can judge me." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Why couldn't you do that back home?" He seemed hurt as though hiding this side of me hurt him.
"Because i was a Luna. I had to be mature and any time i got a little silly, you would give me those eyes." I mimicked the eyes he would sometimes give me. He wouldn't do it when we were alone but when we were out or had guests over and i wanted to crack a slight inappropiate joke, he would give me those eyes. "And people already thought i was weird before we were mates so i tried to hide it."
His lips formed a straight line, "But you're not weird. I find it cute."
"Because you're my mate." I sighed, rubbing my temples. I doubt any other guy would find my wild side "cute". Well beside from Chase but he's another story. "Oh! That reminds me!" I said my thoughts out loud but mentally face palmed myself.
"What?"
"Oh, uhhh nothing." I covered my face with my hands as i tried to hide my blush. I was nervous about telling him about my date with Chase. How would he react? And we're in a public place. That is a pro and a con.
"No, tell me." He urged, poking my hand which was still covering my face. I flicked it away but immediatly regretted it when i realised what i did. "Why are you blushing?" He asked, a small frown playing on his lips.
"Hey look! Our food is here!" I pointed at a waiter who was walking towards us with a tray in his hands. But awkwardly enough, he turned and walked towards another table. I dropped my hand and face plamed myself.
"Tell me what happened." He wasn't dropping the subject, so i sighed and looked him straight in the eye.
"You can't make a scene." I whispered. He nodded really fast, showing just how eager he was to find out about this. With another sigh, i began. "Chase and i are going on a date on Friday night."
"Oh," His body went tense and his hands formed fists on the table. He looked straight ahead not daring to look at me. "That's......nice." He gritted out, his body shaking slightly.
"Your meal," The waiter finally showed up with a tray holding the food we had ordered. I fought the urge to yell at him for coming at the wrong time but held it in. I could tell he felt the tension in the air so he put the food and drinks on the table before rushing off.
I stared at my meal, suddenly questioning myself why i ordered so much. I had no apetite for such food. And if he's not going to eat then i'm not going to eat.
But the pancake looked so good..... I dug in anyways, not caring about his tantrum.
Half way through the meal, he began eating. Like a machine which had suddenly been switched on. It was queit and i was sure if i positioned my butter knife in the air, i could slice the tension without a problem.
"Are you done?" He asked, making me flinch. I was swirling the hot chocolate in my cup with the ice cream sitck for a while as i was in deep thought but the sudden noise scared me.
"Yep. You?" I asked, looking up. His face was blank and held no expression. He nodded and stood up before walking towards the cash register. I sighed, standing up slowly.
I know he's not happy with this. And that can be a problem.

I've made a small decision on my own....
I've decided that most chapters will be this length from now on. I've noticed it take me ages to make long chapters but i wrote this one in a short hour. So shorter chapters but hopefully shorter waiting time.
Hoping to update on the 9th of August. But i might be going to Fiji that day for a holiday so not sure!
