chapter 12
When Korra's practice ended, her dad took her to dinner and invited Mako. She was surprised at first, usually when her dad took someone to dinner with them, it meant he liked them. He obviously didn't like Mako, but after what happened with Tahno, she really can't blame him. She knows that Mako would never do that to her, but her dad doesn't. He just met Mako and knows nothing about him, so of course he is going to assume the worst! But Mako promised that he would prove her father wrong! He was going to prove that he was the best boy for her to date. Korra ran over to Mako when she saw him walking to his car.
"Mako, wait up!" She yelled, jogging to him.
He turned around at the sound of his voice and smiled when he saw it was Korra. "Hey."
"So my dad wants to know if you want to come to dinner with us." She said.
Mako raised a brow, her dad wanted to him to go to dinner with them? From what Mako thought, Tonraq hated him. "Uh yeah, I guess."
Korra smiled and hugged him, "Thank you! Now I will have back up when he starts to ask about us." She walked away with a wink.
Mako grabbed her by the waist and spun her towards him, "When do you want me to meet y'all."
"I think he wants to meet up right now, so just go ahead and drive there."
"Where is 'there'?"
"Remember the noodle shop you took me to the day we met?"
Mako smiled at the memory, that was the first time he had let anyone other than himself wear his scarf. "How could I forget?"
She smiled warmly at him, "Then meet us there." She removed herself from his grip and walked to her car.
As he watched her walk away and smiled to himself, he really liked this girl. No, he really loved this girl. Now he just had to figure out when and how to tell her. He walked to his car and drove to Narooks. The whole way there, which was only about 5 minutes, he thought about when to tell Korra he loved her. Not in front of her father, he wants it to be special. And doing it in front of her father may make it seem like he was only saying it to get Tonraq to like him. After dinner? No, that won't work! He has homework to do! Damn it, when can he tell her! He kept thinking and finally decided to ask either Asami or Toza about it.
He arrived at the restaurant and saw that Korra was already there. 'Damn it, I hope I'm not late!' he thought. He walked inside swiftly and looked around the place for her. He wasn't surprised to see her in the same spot they were in the first time he took her here. He didn't see her father yet so he walked over to her confidently.
"Hey Kor, I'm not late am I?" Mako asked, sitting down next to her and wrapping an arm across her shoulders.
She snuggled closer to him and smiled, "No not at all, I got here only about a minute sooner than you."
Mako leaned down and kissed her head, "You look beautiful, you know that." He murmured into her hair.
Korra smiled up at him and blushed, she dug her face in his jacket to hide her blush. Mako just laughed and looked at the menu.
"Good to see you decided to show up." He heard a deep voice say. Mako jumped and Korra pulled away laughing.
"I was here before you." Mako said, looking up at Korra's dad.
"I was in the bathroom, I have been here for about 15 minutes waiting for you." He said, sitting down in the booth across from Mako and eyeing his arm around Korra's shoulder threateningly.
"Oh, sorry sir but sometimes the locker rooms are crowded and it takes a while to get changed." Mako said, he was suddenly very nervous and removed his hand from Korra's shoulder.
"Whatever. Korra I asked Jace to come." Tonraq said, looking at Korra.
Mako sent a silent thank you to god, Jace liked Mako. Maybe he could convince her father that Mako wasn't such a bad guy.
"Okay, when will he be here?" Korra asked while grabbing Mako's hand under the table. It was all sweaty, probably from him being nervous around her father.
As if on cue, Jace walked in. "When who will get here?" He asked scooting into the booth next to his father.
"You, but now your here. So look at the menu and order quickly! I'm starved!" Korra said examining a menu herself.
Mako chuckled, she seemed to be starved every time he saw her. She looked at him, he was the only one without a menu in his hands.
"Mako! Hurry up and look at the menu!" She said, pushing a menu in his face.
He chuckled again, "I know the menu by heart. Besides, I always get the same thing when I come here."
She raised her brow, "Oh? And what is that?"
"Fire flakes soup." He shrugged.
"You didn't get that last time we came here." She mumbled.
"That's because they were all out of fire flakes." He said matter of factly.
She rolled her eyes.
"So Mako, your on the football team right?" Tonraq asked out of nowhere.
"Yes sir."
"Quarter back?"
"Yes sir, how'd you know?" Mako asked.
"You seem like a quarter back, you have the look." He shrugged.
"Is that a good or a bad thing?" Mako asked hesitantly.
"Neither."
"Oh, okay."
"So since you are the quarter back I'm guessing you are the team captain?"
"Yes sir."
"Quarter back and team captain eh? You must have all the girls, different girl every week right? You lead one to think you really like them and then have sex with them. Next day you dump em and move on to your next victim. Right?" It wasn't really a question, it was more a statement.
Mako almost choked on his own air, "N-No sir! Korra is the only girlfriend I have had in two years!"
"Then their must be something wrong with your reputation if no girl wants to date you." Tonraq challenged.
"Dad!" Korra yelled.
"Okay, what can I get you to drink?" The waiter asked, that jersey voice sounded familiar. Mako looked at who it was. Tason!
Mako looked down at Korra and she seemed to know who it was too. Mako looked back at Tason and he hadn't looked at them yet, he was still looking at his notepad.
"I'll have a Budwiser." Tonraq said.
"Sprite." Jace said.
"Okay, and for yo- hey! I know you! Your that girl that came in here a few days ago and shot me down." Tason said sadly and angrily looking at Korra.
Korra looked really uncomfortable, "Yeah I am..."
"Care to rethink my offer?" He said with a cocky grin.
Mako looked up at him and narrowed his eyes, he moved his arm around Korra's shoulders again. Not caring what her dad would say.
"She can't. She already has a boyfriend." Mako growled glaring at Tason.
Their waiter swallowed, "Sor-sorry." He looked over at Korra, "So what can I get you to drink?"
"Water." She said simply.
He started to walk away, "Hey! You forgot about me!" Mako growled again.
Tason turned around, "Sorry, what can I get you?"
"Coke." Mako replied coldly, "And I'm pretty sure we are ready to order."
"Okay, then what do you want." Tason said, casting side way glances at Korra.
Everyone ordered and Tason walked away.
"What the HELL was that about?!" Tonraq and Jace hissed.
"The first day we were here, Mako took me here not knowing that guy would hit on me. He asked me out and I turned him down because number one I liked Mako, and number two, I thought he was creepy. He said he knew me from seeing me playing soccer. That's weird, and he knew I was the new girl because he had seen me around the school. I thought he was really creepy..." Korra said.
"Yeah, and that creep couldn't stop staring at her!" Mako grumbled, still looking at the doors Tason went into.
Tonraq seemed ready to rip someones throat out and so did Jace.
"Has he caused you any trouble since?" Tonraq asked, calming down a little.
"No, I haven't seen him before tonight. I honestly forgot all about him." Korra admitted.
Tonraq nodded his head thoughtfully.
Tason came out with their food and couldn't keep his eyes off Korra. Mako growled at him but it had no effect. He was practically eye raping her!
Tonraq and Jace noticed it too.
"Here you go." He handed everyone their food and then pretty much threw Mako's on the table. When he handed Korra hers, he touched her hands when she took it from him and then walked away.
Mako got up and followed him, "I'll be right back." He said angrily.
Tonraq watched as Mako confronted Tason. At first they couldn't hear him but it quickly escalated into an all out screaming war.
"YOU WERE STARING AT HER!" Mako yelled.
"DUDE! SHE'S HOT! WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO? NOT STARE?" Tason yelled.
"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO! THANKS TO YOU, HER DAD WILL PROBABLY KILL ME FOR LETTING YOU LOOK AT HER LIKE THAT!" Mako yelled gesturing towards Korra and her dad.
"I wasn't gonna kill him! I like this kids guts, he seems like he will protect you." Tonraq said, still watching the fight.
"SORRY YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS HOT! BUT THAT'S NOT MY FAULT! I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOOKS AT HER LIKE THAT! I'M SURE ALMOST EVERY GUY IN YOUR SCHOOL WANTS TO GET LUCKY WITH HER! YOU JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE LUCKY GUY! I MEAN LOOK AT HER! SHE'S FUCKING HOT, HER BODY IS AMAZING! LOOK AT THOSE CURVES! " Tason yelled back.
This threw Mako over the edge he reared back and punched Tason square in the jaw and then the gut. "DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT ABOUT HER AGAIN! I RESPECT HER, AND I LIKE HER FOR HER PERSONALITY! HER LOOKS ARE JUST A BONUS, GO TO HELL!" Mako hissed to the guy. Mako kicked him in the ribs and walked back to the table.
"I'm sorry I ruined your dinner Mr. Tonraq." Mako said. He kissed Korra on the head and walked away.
Tonraq stood up, "Hold up there boy."
Mako turned around. "Yes sir?"
"I like you, you obviously aren't like Tahno. You seem to want to protect her and I believe you have a good heart. You can date my daughter, but again, I have my eyes on you." Tonraq said, shaking Mako's hand.
Mako looked surprised, "Th-thank you sir!" He walked over to Korra and kissed her.
"But I still don't want to see you two kissing." Tonraq grumbled.
Mako chuckled and Korra giggled, "Okay, can we go home ." Korra said getting up.
Her father and Jace's eye brows went up surprised.
"Oh, okay you can leave."
Korra and Mako drove home, when they got to Mako's house they saw...
