.:Author's Note:.

Out of all the good looking pictures I have of Summerella (yes I'm a stalker) I chose this one. XD

Anyways, she is playing Aliyah and that's her boyfriend Lorenzo.

Blake's POV:

                "Blake?" Liam questioned nervously as I parked the car in front of the large building. The lights shined brightly through the window, letting everyone that passed by know that it was open and probably filled.

                "Yes, Liam?" I asked back innocently, knowing that he was slightly panicking at the moment. However, he didn't need to be. I was going to be at his side every step of the way through this date.

                "I, um, I don't know how to skate." He turned to me with a blush. I grinned at him, causing his blush to darken.

                "I know. That's why I'm going to be teaching you." I told him before getting out of the car once I turned it off. I quickly ran to the other side to open his door for him. He blushed as he mumbled out a quiet "thanks" while taking my offered hand.

                "I couldn't find a quieter rink so I hope this is okay. I thought it would help you come out your shell some more around people while also having fun." I explained, locking the car with the key behind us. Liam surprised me by wrapping an arm around my waist and nuzzling my side quickly.

                "Y-you'll stay right next to me, right?" He questioned as we walked up to the building. I nodded quickly, wrapping my own arm around his shoulders.

                "I won't go anywhere." I promised, causing the lamb to look up at me with a small grin. It was an instinct move as I leaned down to kiss him. I held his face close as I devoured his lips before pulling away contently. Yum!

                "Let's go, love." I smirked as he blushed and nodded.

                Entering the building, I was instantly hit with the sound of loud music and the smell of the animal kingdom. I could easily point out the bears, dolphins, rabbits, elephants, wolves, tigers, etc. I made sure to pull Liam a little closer when people turned their heads our way. Ignoring their looks, I headed to the counter, thankful that there wasn't a line.

                "Hi! Welcome to Reece's Rocking Roller Rink. My name is Elizabeth. How may I help you?" The girl behind the counter spoke. She looked to be around Liam's age and smelled like a bear. I wasn't sure what kind of bear though. She was, however, of Asian descent.

                "Hello. Can I get two skates, sizes five and eleven, please?" I asked, glancing at Liam's small feet. He was currently hiding behind me, peeking at Elizabeth through the space between my torso and arm. She giggled when she caught his gaze before disappearing to the back for the skates.

                "There are so many shifters here." Liam whispered to me in amazement as he quickly glanced around. It was kind of hard to hear him over the music. I took in the people also, noticing that there were more predators here than I had hoped. However, I staked my claim on the lamb behind me by glaring at anyone who looked at him for more than two seconds.

                "You don't have to worry about them, love."

                "I'm not." He replied with a timid smile, looking at me now. "I have you to protect me."

                "Here you are, size five and eleven skates. That will be thirty dollars in total. With this payment, you may skate until closing hours, rent a locker using the card attached to the laces, and enjoy the many food varieties we have to offer." Elizabeth returned before I could respond to Liam. I shook my head, focusing on her as a sense of love and pride swelled in my heart.

                "Okay, that's fine. Thank you." I paid her and thanked her for the shoes before guiding Liam to an empty bench. He was still looking around at all the people laughing, eating, talking, and skating, causing me to chuckle. I didn't bother to stop him as I made him sit.

                I took off his shoes, grabbing the extra pair of socks I brought for him from my back pocket, before putting them on his feet. He even has cute toes! I thought to myself as I set his original shoes aside. My movements caught his attention because now he was looking down at me while I put on his skates, tying the laces a little tightly.

                "I-I could've done that." He whispered to me with his signature blush. I smirked as I looked at him once I was done.

                "Now where's the fun in that?" I replied teasingly before pecking him quickly. His blush darkened as I sat beside him to change into my own skates. I took the card off of it before scanning the lockers in front of us for the matching number. It wasn't too hard to find.

                "I'm gonna put these shoes in the locker. You okay just sitting here?"

                Liam nodded quickly while looking around again. It made me laugh since he reminded me of a puppy in a foreign place. I took our shoes and quickly skated to our locker. Every chance I got, I looked over my shoulder to make sure that he was alright. I didn't take long at the lockers, but when I returned to his side, he was already talking to someone.

                "That's so cool! My boyfriend is a wolf. I know, hard to believe right?" I heard the girl say as I touched Liam's shoulder. He jumped before looking at me and smiling.

                "Blake, I made a new friend, all on my own! Can you believe it? Her name is Aliyah and she's a bunny rabbit." He talked to me as if the shifter herself wasn't sitting right there. I laughed before outstretching a hand for Aliyah to shake, knowing that my predatory aura was making her a little nervous.

                "Hi, Aliyah. I'm Blake, as you can already tell." I waited patiently for her to shake my hand. She glanced over her shoulder, making me follow her gaze to a tall man that I didn't notice was standing a few feet away. The man nodded, causing her to turn back to me with a smile before shaking my hand.

                "Hi, Blake. I'm sorry for interrupting your date, but I've never seen a prey and predator together like me and my boyfriend, Lorenzo. You two peeked my interest."

                Despite her dark skin, I knew that she was blushing as she nervously glanced over at her boyfriend again. He seemed to sense her distress because he was immediately walking over, causing Liam to lean into me.

                "Everything okay, Liyah?" He asked his mate sternly yet worriedly. Aliyah stood up to stand by his side, nuzzling her face into his side much like Liam does to me.

                "I'm okay. It was nice meeting you, Blake. Liam, we should definitely keep in touch." She said, looking at Liam excitedly. My lamb turned to me questioningly, silently asking if it was okay. I chuckled as I nodded, not sure why he would think he needed permission.

                "Y-yes! That's okay. Um, I don't have a cell phone, so will my house phone do?" Liam replied to the bunny sheepishly. Lorenzo and Aliyah looked at him in shock, causing him to squirm a bit.

                "Oh! That's fine. I can take your number now."

                Aliyah pulled a phone from her back pocket, doing some things before handing it to Liam. I watched, slightly amused as my potential mate was giving his number to someone else. I didn't even have his house phone number. The thought made me laugh loudly, catching their attentions. I waved my hand dismissively. Liam handed back the phone once he was done.

                "Awesome! Enjoy the rest of your date!" Aliyah said excitedly, pocketing her phone. I waited until her and Lorenzo walked away before helping Liam to stand while wearing the skates.

                "I can't believe you were flirting on our date." I teased him while slowly guiding him towards the actual rink. He gasped, looking at me with wide eyes while also trying to look at his feet.

                "I-I wasn't flirting. S-she was nice. I'm sorry!"

                "Liam, I'm only joking. I'm very happy that you made another friend today."

                We were now on the outskirt of the rink which was way slipperier than the concrete of the building. He smiled proudly at me before blushing as he gripped my arm tightly.

                "Now, we're going to get down to business. Don't be scared to fall, love. I've got you."

                "Blake! Look, I'm doing it. I can skate!" Liam was excited since he managed to make one lap around the entire rink without me holding onto him. I pulled out my phone to record him as he continued to skate, giggling as he stayed upright instead of falling on his ass. His beautiful plump ass that looked so tempting right now.

Shit.

Now was not the time, Blake!

                Once I had the video saved, I pocketed my phone before skating up to him, pressing my front to his back. He jumped and slowed down a bit, but I used enough force to keep the both of us moving.

                "You're doing great, love." I whispered into his ear, knowing that he would be able to hear me over the loud music. He shuddered as my hand came in contact with his hip.

                "How about some food?"

                Liam nodded in response as I guided him towards the exit of the rink. We stopped at the Subway concession stand and ordered two foot long sandwiches. He was hardly able to get through half of his while I finished mine in minutes.

                "Um, B-Blake, do we have sex after this date?" He questioned out of the blue, making me choke on my soda. I slapped my chest hoping that it would help, but it only made it worse. Liam quickly got up to pat my back, and after a few more seconds, I was okay. He sat back down with a blush, fiddling with his sandwich wrapper.

                "Liam, where did you get that idea?"

                "Oh, um, well I read online that boys expect girls to have sex with them after the first date as a sort of thanks. I-I thought it would be the same in this case." He replied, his blush rushing to the tips of his ears. I laughed as I shook my head, falling in love even more with his innocence.

                "No, we're not going to have sex tonight. I don't need you to thank me with your body. I enjoy our time together, and if anything, I should be the one thanking you for giving me the opportunity to take you out." I told him honestly, holding his chin between my fingers so that he was looking at me.

                Liam's eyes watered, making me worry a lot. Was it something I said? Should I have agreed to the sex?

                "You know, sometimes it's hard to believe that you really like me. I'm unpredictable, I panic a lot, most people scare me, and I'm just not normal. But, I'm really happy that you do. Thank you." He said with a shy smile, the tears running down his cheeks. I wiped them away quickly before leaning over to kiss his lips.

                "Don't thank me, love. It's an honor."

                "Laser tag too?! I've never been. This is so exciting!"

                Thankfully, the laser tag arena was right next door to the roller skating rink. After eating, Liam and I did a few more laps before leaving and heading for laser tag. The arena was emptier than the rink and I could tell that he appreciated that fact a lot.

                "I'm pretty competitive so I hope you're ready to lose." I teased him as we put on our vests and made sure our guns worked.

                "Nu-uh! You're going to be the loser." He teased back, making me laugh, happy that he could have playful banters with me.

                "Okay. How about we make this interesting then?" I asked, smirking as he looked at me in adorable confusion. His head was cocked to the side as he looked at me, wondering what I was up to.

                "Interesting how?"

                "Whoever loses gets to plan the next date." I said after a quick thought. Liam turned red as he fiddled with his fingers.

                "Y-you want to go on another date with me?"

                "Of course! I plan to go on many dates with you." If it was even possible, Liam's entire body went redder.

                "O-okay! You're on!"

                "Great! May the best man lose."
