Chapter 8 (Part2)
It was past six when she walked out of her room into the living room. Jack and Tony were still on the couch watching TV. Both men looked up at her when she walked out and their months dropped. She turned her head to the side and smiled. Obviously she must have looked good to get that reaction out of them. 'This might be easier than I thought,' she said to herself. She started to walk into the kitchen when Tony stood up.
"Are you, umm, planning to go out somewhere?" he asked sheepishly while looking at the floor.
"Yes, I'm going to the Red River Inn for a while" she said with excitement.
"Are you going with someone? Are you going to meet Ryan there?" He asked looking at little more confused this time.
"No, I'm going by myself and not meeting anyone. Why would I be meeting Ryan there? Is he supposed to be meeting someone there tonight?" she asked.
She wondered why he would think she would be meeting Ryan there. They weren't even speaking to each other right now. Was Ryan there with that other girl, is that why he asked, she questioned herself.
Tony stood frozen in the living room and looked down at Jack still sitting on the couch in horror as Angel walked into the kitchen. What was he going to do; he had to tell Ryan what was going on. Ryan wouldn't like the fact that Angel was going out alone, especially not looking like that. He had always thought that Angel was pretty, but never paid much attention to her. That was his Alphas future mate he wasn't allowed to look at her like that, but tonight there was something different about her. She looked really sexy tonight.
She had on a mini skirt showing off her long silky tan legs, and heels with lace that wrapped halfway up her leg and tied on the top. The shirt she was wearing was tight and showed off every inch of her trim figure, and the top was low enough to where her perfectly shaped breasts were flowing out just enough to make you want to see more. She even had on makeup 'Did she ever even wear make up?' He asked himself. Either way he couldn't let her go out like that. Ryan would be furious when he found out.
He quickly got out his phone and wrote a text message to Jack to get a hold of Ryan and let him know that he needed to get to the bar as soon as he could. He was going to go to the bar now to make sure that Angel didn't get herself into too much trouble while he waited for Ryan to show up. He sent the message and heard Jacks phone go off next to him. Jack looked up at him and nodded then headed for the door. It would have been easier just to tell him but he knew that with Angel being in the other room she would hear what they were talking about. He headed to the kitchen to catch Angel before she left.
"Umm, I was thinking about going to get a drink myself. Do you mind if I ride along?" he asked trying to keep his voice calm.
He knew that he had to go with to try to keep as much attention off of her as he could until Ryan got there. He also knew that he had his work cut out for him, and wasn't sure how he was going to do it. With the way she looked tonight he would be fighting the guys off with a stick.
"Sure, I guess you can come along." she said to Tony.
She was a little disappointed. She wanted to go alone so that she wouldn't feel like she had to stick by Tony and talk to him all night. She had plans to find a man that wanted her, and she was going to stick to those plans even if Tony was for some reason trying to stop them.
They were driving to town when Tony spoke again "Is there some type of special occasion tonight?"
"No, why would you ask that?" She responded even though she already knew why. She never dressed like this. Showing off so much skin and she had makeup on, she usually never wore anything more than mascara.
"Well, umm, it's just that I have never seen you umm, wear things like that before" he stuttered a little embarrassed that he had to say it out loud.
"Well if you must know I am getting a little lonely being all by myself for all these years, and thought that maybe now it was time for me to find someone to share my life with." she responded feeling good about her answer.
'Oh shit!' Tony thought to himself. 'Shit, shit, shit what the hell am I going to do?' Ryan was going to snap him in half if he let another man touch his mate. How was he supposed to keep them away from her? He was having a hard time keeping his eyes to himself sitting next to her in the car, and he knew what would happen to him if he didn't.
These other poor men in the bar aren't going to know what hit them when she walks in. They are going to be even more surprised when Ryan lets them have it for touching a girl that didn't even know that she belonged to him yet. 'I just have to try to keep her distracted, and put myself in between her and the other men as long as I can.' He thought to himself. His phone beeped and looked at the new message.
'I have been trying to call Ryan but his phone is going straight to voicemail, it must be dead.' The message from Jack read.
'Oh this is just great, just my luck.' He thought to himself as Angel turned off the car and started to get out.
"Do you think that maybe we should go to the diner and get something to eat before we start drinking? I always hold my liquor better when I have food in me. I'm still hungry that sandwich at home didn't fill me up." He said trying to distract her from the bar as long as he could.
Angel thought about it for a minute, "No, actually I like the burgers in here, but if you want to go to the diner I can just meet up with you later." she said hoping he would agree to that.
"You're right they do have good burgers in there, lets go get some." Tony said disappointed that his stall tactic didn't work.
They went into the bar and Tony led her back to the normal table they always sat at. Angel could feel the eyes on her when she walked into the bar. She even heard a few whistles, and 'damn look at that' comments. She smiled to herself as she sat down across from Tony.
"Let's order some food, shall we?" she said.
They ordered their burgers and beers and waited for their food in silence. Tony didn't know what to say to her. He just wished that Ryan would hurry up and get there already. Angel was carefully listening to the men around her, looking for clues on what men were interested in her. She had a feeling that the two men playing pool seemed to be the most promising candidates for the night.
She turned around to get a look at them. They weren't bad looking. Nothing compared to Ryan though, she thought to herself. 'Wait why would I even be thinking about Ryan right now? I'm here to forget about him.' She told herself that she wouldn't think about Ryan again for the rest of the night. 'This is my night. This night will be all about me,' she reassured herself. The waitress delivered their food and refilled their drinks.
It was almost two hours after Tony and Angel had left when Ryan showed up at the house. Jack was pacing nervously back and forth in the living room and froze when he heard the front door open. Ryan walked in with a huge bouquet of flowers in one hand and a neatly wrapped gift in the other. He was setting them down on the table when Jack ran into the kitchen next to him.
"What the hell are you running up on me like that for? he asked.
He looked over at jack and panic rushed through him. He had never seen Jack so stressed and worried looking before. The kid always seemed to be so carefree and easy going.
"What's going on?" Ryan asked with stress in his voice. He knew that it couldn't be good to have rattled his friend this much.
"Well its Angel." Jack started to say only to be interrupted.
"Was she hurt? What happened? Is she ok?" Ryan asked while searching the house for any signs of her.
"She's ok Ryan, it's just that." Jack paused.
"Well spit it out!" Ryan growled at him.
"She went to the bar, and she was dressed like, well, she was dressed all sexy and even had on makeup." Jack spit out. He could see the anger building in his Alpha. "Tony went with her to watch out for her, but said that you needed to get over there as soon as you could. I tried to call but your phone was off." Jack stumbled over the words as he tried to get all the information he could to Ryan before he exploded.
Ryan ran out the door to the truck, and Jack quickly followed. He could have sworn that Ryan had the truck in gear before it was even done starting and they were on their way to the bar. The tension in the truck was high, and Jack didn't know if he should say anything, or just stay quiet. He chose to just keep his mouth shut. He didn't want to say anything else that could make Ryan any more upset than he was, but Ryan had other plans.
"How long ago did they leave?" he asked.
"About two hours ago." Jack replied, not even wanting to look up at his Alphas face.
"When you say that she was dressed, umm sexy, what do you mean by that?" Ryan asked in a pained voice. Jack didn't want to answer this question. He didn't want to have to describe how she looked to him to her future mate.
"Well?" Ryan asked anxiously looking over at Jack.
"Well she was wearing a short skirt and high heels, and the top that she had on it really showed off her, umm, breasts." he said back quietly. The only response back was a loud growl and the engine protesting and the gas petal was shoved down further to the floor.
Angel could tell that Tony was trying to distract her. They had already had four beers and every time she tried to get up and go talk to someone he would start another story that she had no interest in hearing. 'Why is he trying to distract me?' She thought to herself. Could it be that maybe he likes her? No, he had never shown even the least bit of interest in her, and if this is his way of showing interest, she wasn't interested back.
Finally when the waitress brought over the fifth beer, she got up and before he could protest she said she needed to get up and walk around a bit before she got tired from sitting all night. She went over to the pool table where the guys she had been checking out earlier were. 'Damn, they already left.' She thought to herself when she got there and it was empty.
"Do you need someone to play with?" a voice from behind her asked.
She turned around to see a man in maybe his mid to late twenties. He wasn't bad looking, but not that good looking either. 'Oh well, I guess I will take what I can get in this small town.' she told herself.
"Yes I do, would you care to join me?" She said as she gave him a smile. He returned the smile immediately and started to rack up the balls.
