Chapter 86

86- Puppies and pregnancies

I decide to drop the topic and come back to it another time when i’ve had a chance to think of some decent answers. It’s hard to argue with someone who won’t stop complimenting you. I’m saved from the conversation I started when the waitress comes back to check on us.

“Hi, is everything going alright? Do you need any drinks or anything?” she notices Bellamy’s untouched plate and frowns slightly.

“Is there something wrong with the steak?” She asks very politely. I shake my head. immediately.

“No, not at all. He just got called away to an urgent meeting. Actually, would it be possible to get a takeout container or something so I can take it to him afterwards?” She smiles at me and agrees, she even takes his plate and moves it into a container for me (which I appreciate because I am fairly sure that I would have made a mess of it.) Darrien, Megan and I finish eating as the waitress returns and hands me Bellamy’s takeout meal.

“Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.”

“No problem. Do you guys want anything else?” she offers cheerfully. I shake my head then glance over at Darrien. He immediately turns to Megan.

“Can I get you anything else Megan, a drink or dessert?” He offers meaningfully. I actually blush, why do I suddenly feel like a major third wheel. Should I be excusing myself to the bathroom or something? I pull out my phone and pretend to answer non–existent text. messages. Actually, what am I doing? I have real actual friends. I can send a real text. message. I decide to message Harry.

Ryann- OMG Harry guess what!

Megan stammers out a reply saying she doesn’t need anything else right now and the waitress heads off. We all get up and I follow the pair of them to Darrien’s car, still hanging back a little. Although he is still keeping a good eye on me since Bellamy would kill him if I got hurt or something. I insist Megan takes the passenger seat and I sit in the back by myself. She is a little reluctant but agrees anyway. Harry answers my message.
