"I-I don't know if this is a good idea." Ed stammers as I try to drag him into the club. 

"Look, she wants to meet you. A bad idea would be chickening out. You'll be fine...just don't faint, be polite, and um...don't talk unless if you're being addressed." I soothe. My arms snake around his neck and I kiss his lips. "You'll do fine."

Taking a deep breath and straightening his glasses, Ed nods as if trying to reassure himself. Hooking arms, we walk into the club. 

"Ah Ana. This must be the special man in question." Fish's velvety voice says as she holds out her hand.

"H-hi. I'm Edward." 

"Panther, honey. May I talk to Edward here for a second?" I can feel Ed stiffen next to me as I sigh, nodding slightly. I move to the back near the bar, my eyes never leaving Ed and Fish. 

"So that's Edward, huh?" I nod in response to Butch's question. "He's not going to last ten minutes."

Fish's p.o.v:

My eyes scan the nervous man in front of me. Deep down, I saw the same dangerous spark in his eyes that I saw in Ana's the first time I met her. Mind you, hers has kindled into a flame by now.  A flame just waiting to be set free.

"Now you listen to me. That is my little panther and if you hurt her you'll have to answer to me." 

"I-I wouldn't dream of it Ma'am."

"Mmm good. You can go now."
