I Don't Have A Mate

Chapter 14

Savannah's P.O.V

All the boys ordered a whole pizza each.
When they finished, they turned to me.
"What do you want Sav?" Ethan asked.
"It's Savannah." I growled.
"But-" John said looking confused.
"No." I said firmly looking at him.
"What you do what Savannah?" Ethan repeated.
"Nothing I'll just steal off Darren."
"Why? You can get what you want."
"I can't eat it all."
"Why not?"
"I just can't."
"Sav, are you anorexic?" Darren asked.
I stared at him.
"So, you let him," John said pointing at Darren. "Call you Sav but not him." Pointing at Ethan.
"Yeah," I said looking at John, answering his question, "and no." I said to Darren.
"You don't eat anything, even at home when you cook."
"I always cook."
"Don't change the subject." Ethan said.
"Look, ok I'm slightly anorexic, but if you've been paying attention to how much I eat, you'll have noticed it's growing, ever so slowly but growing none the less."
"Why?" Was all Ethan asked.
"For 8 years I barely had one meal a day. Remember the second night when I was here?"
They all nodded.
"Well I had a normal sized meal. For the rest of the night I was throwing it all back up because my stomach couldn't handle it."
"Oh." Darren said.
"I don't eat a lot because I can't physically handle it."
"Sorry." Ethan said.
"All good," I said. "Now you better pay so we can get our food cooked."

The pizza was delicious and we were about to leave when John called to us.
"Hey Sav." I stopped.
He was looking at me curiously.
"Savannah." I said slowly while turning around.
"Ok cupcake," I groaned at my old nickname. "Never gets old does it." John said smirking from my reaction.
"No, never." I said sarcastically.
"One of my workers has quit I was wondering if you would like a job if your the cook you say you are."
I looked at Ethan.
"Can I?" I asked.
"Yeah sure." He said.
"Cool, just pop in sometime in the next week and we'll give you a try." John said.
"Cool thanks." I said, and we left.

We had just finish our pizzas, and were bidding our goodbyes to John. We had all walked out the door we Ethan stopped me.
"You guys go on ahead we'll be a minute."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Um, just seeing if your fitting in."
"Yes, it's been really fun, the most fun I've had in years."
"Good and your ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine what about you?"
"Just you know trying to work out how to do something."
A few droplets started to fall from the cloudy night sky.
"Maybe I can help you."
"Maybe."
I was started in rain lightly.
"So, what is it? How may I be of service?" I asked bowing slightly.
I started to rain more heavily now.
"IwanttoaskoutagirlIlikebutIdon'tnohowto."
"Maybe you should just ask her she probably likes you back, and I agree that we might want to head back now."
"In a minute I want to take your advice."
"Ok, who's the lucky girl."
"Savannah will you go out on a date with me?"
"Of course silly."
"Really? I thought you didn't like me or saw me as only as a brother."
"Did I ever say I didn't like you?"
"No."
"Did I ever say I only see you as a brother."
"No."
"There's your answer then."
"What about your mate?"
"Do you what me to go on a date with you?"
"Yes."
"Then don't worry, or talk for that matter, about that topic."
"Ok."
We looked at each other in the pouring rain, soaked.
"Lets get back before we catch a cold." I said.
"Race ya to the house." I betted.
"Your so on."
