*Riley Preston

We hurry into the restaurant.

"Mr. Preston, your guest is already seayed in the room." The lady in the front tells Dad.

Dad just nods, blank face showing.

We go to the room in the back. Dad goes in first so he blocks the view from the guest.

"I'm so sorry we're late, Nikki. There was an accident on the way here so it was hard to get through."

Nikki? I stare at Dad's back in confusion.

"It's fi--" Nikki stops her sentence as Ryan and I walk into her view.

She's so beautiful. The way way her royal blue dress makes her curves stand out makes me want to hide her from the world so no other man can look at her. The baggy cloths she usually wears hides a lot. I already knew she was gorgeous even with baggy cloths but now I know that I wont give up on her, ever, no matter how many times she pushes me away.

Both Ryan and I are in a black button down dress shirt with dark jeans and black dress shoes. Our hair is brush down, Ryan's a little darker. No different between us right now but our eyes.

"Why are you here, Rileys?" Nikki asks, confused.

Rileys?

"Nikki?!" Raine, Ronnie, and Rufus run towards Nikki, hugging Nikki's legs.

She smiles down to them.

"Dad, what's going on?" Both Ryan and I ask at the same time.

"Everyone, please sit down. I'll expalin everything after we order."

"Josh, we would like to order now." Dad calls out.

Josh walks into the room, notepad ready in his hand.

Nikki orders Chicken Enchiladas. Dad order Spaghetti & Meatballs. The triplets order French Fries each. Ryan orders Fried Chicken Strips. I order the Chicken Tetrazzini. We order our drinks as well.

Josh writes everything down and hurrys away.

So after ordering, Dad clears his throat. "Nikki, these are my sons. You know Riley and the triplets. My other son Ryan is Riley's older twin brother." He expalins to Nikki.

He then faces us, his sons, "Guys, this is Nikki, as some of you know. She is the person who fixed my motorcycle. I sorta made a mean joke so as an apology and to show my gratitude, I invited her for dinner. It would also be great if we got to know each other."

We stay quiet as he talked.

"Okay." Nikki answers. She keeps starting at Ryan and I.

"So Nikki, tell us about yourself." Ryan comments.

"What would you like to know."

"What your favorite color?" Ronnie intersects.

"Baby Blue."

"What's your favorite hobbie?" Rufus wonders.

"I like reading while listening to my music."

"What's your favorite animal?" Raine asks.

"Wolf." Nikki answers, immediately.

"Why a wolf?" Dad sounds curious.

"As crazy as it sounds, my befriend is a wolf." She says, skeptically.

She probably thinks we'll call her crazy.

"The one I saw at lunch?" I question.

Nikki looks shocked that I remembered but she still nods.

"Your dinner is ready." Josh comes back into the room with our plates on a big tray.

Josh places our plates and drinks in front of us. "If there is anything else you need, don't hesitate to ask me. I just be outside the door."

We say our 'Thank you' as he leaves.

The triplets are the first ones to finish their foods. Then Dad and Ryan. Then I finish. Nikki finished last.

"I'm sorry. I'm just not used to having this much food in one day." Nikki explains.

Dad frowns, "It's okay. So Nikki, how was your ride here?"

"Oh, I walked here."

"What? Why?" Ryan questions.

"Well, I don't have a car and it's not a long walk from my house."

"It's a twenty-five minute walk here." I calculate.

She just nods.

"Ryan, why don't you say a little about yourself." Dad interrupts.

"Okay. Well, I'm eighteen. I like to play soccor, go swimming, playing video games, and listening music. I love my family to death. I'm starting school on Monday and my favorite color is green." Ryan smiles.

"We mostly like the same things except my favorite color is red." I add.

She nods.

'Bro, I don't think she's my mate, too.' Ryan mindlinks.

My head whips towards him, 'What do you mean?'

'I feel like she's my best friend, not my lover. I don't feel attracted to her in a romantic way.'

'Why do you think that is?'

'I think it's because she's your mate only, not ours.'

'We'll talk to Dad later, Bro.'

"My favorite color is army green. Ronnie's is lime green and Raine's is purple." Rufus finishes explaining.

Around 10:35 p.m, we decide to head out of the restaurant. Dad offers Nikki a ride home which she accepts due to the fact that it's dark out and windy.

We all pile in Dad's 2007 Blue Metallic Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ.

We then drop off Nikki.

"Thank you for the ride." Nikki tells Dad.

"It's no problem. Hope to see you soon, Nikki." Dad responds.

We wave bye to Nikki and head home. The triplets go to sleep on the way home.

"Dad, did you hear what Ryan said about Nikki." I ask even though I know he did since he's the Alpha.

"Yeah, I did. We'll talk about it later. For now we have to wait until she shifts. We also have to get everything ready for our visitors. They will be here the day after tomorrow."

Ryan and I nod in understanding.

AUTHOR'S NOTE :

This is the third day in a row that I've updated because I have had time so I decided not to wait. Thank you all for voting and for taking your time to read my story.

Oh, and yeah Ryan is not Nikki's mate, for two reasons. One is that I wouldn't feel right about them having to share the person they love. Also, because I want to make Riley more possessive. Honestly, I didn't even see that coming.

I really hope you are enjoying my story. Until next time. PEACE, MY READERS!!

✌
