I had pulled away from the kiss, and  smiled, "Seems like you couldn't help but kiss me.." she chuckled, "You could say that..", "If you don't want to have the wings out you can get rid of them, like I said all you have to do is snap and the wings will go back in. It's gonna be painful but it will get better over time." she snapped as he said it was painful at first but then got numb. I had then asked if she would be able to return back to La Papillion now after we had talked about what made her run out in the first place.

"So like you're asking me out on a date..more of a do-over though.." We both laughed, "Maybe..I am.." I smiled, "You may like it, I heard it's considered to be classic french food. Plus maybe we can get a discount..I happened to know the owner.." I grinned as she stared at me,  "Oh really..ok then. Let's head to la mouche amère." I raised a brow, "The what?", "You know..the Bitterfly.." I smiled, "Oh so you do know french..", "Just a little bit.." as we exited the building I took her to where we were before. That being all the way back to my mother's cafe. Opened the door and saw Rosemary there with a drink in hand and next to her was Colton himself. 

"Seems like now is the time for the party to get started.." Rosemary muttered as she took a drink from her cup. I can just sense that Maya tried to look away from him as he wasn't the same person she used to know. "Look at me.." I mumbled, as she looked at me, "You'll be okay..I am right here.." I held her hand as she nodded but looking up Colton had been staring at her. "Would either of you two want a slice of Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Jam.." I shook my head no along with Maya. "You sure Mariah.." I raised a brow and saw Rosemary smirking saying her actual name. 

"Yeah I've heard that this is the cake that tastes so good. I had made it at..umm..what the place called again..oh right..yeah it was at this place called Vanilla Cakes.." She giggled, and caught Maya looking at her, "Oh yes you are working there and did make this cake my bolt of lightning," I ignored Rosemary and placed a hand on her shoulder and asked if she would like a drink. "I will just take a Strawberry Fanta.."

I nodded and walked off, while getting her drink, mom stopped me, "Hey..everything okay with her.." I nodded, "She just has bad anxiety that is all.." She raised a brow, "Ok well make sure she has a fun time..this is a place of fun memories, I don't want her to have any bad ones.." I nodded and added a bit of lemonade. I heard Colton laughing. "Same old drink since the seventh grade..which only brings you to being the same old Mariah," Rosemary had chuckled, "Why don't you try something new..as getting something old is just boring." both of them laughed, well they are in for a surprise. I walked up behind her and tapped on her shoulder handing her the Strawberry Fanta. "I mixed lemonade with it, it will taste like strawberry lemonade or maybe strawberry cream soda.." she smiled, "Thanks..", "As you were saying we are well viking..and yes she has the princess material.."

I raised a brow, "Viking. Well isn't that quite an interesting choice in words.." Does he mean the word vibing and not viking? "Hey Jacobsen did you know.." he laughed as something was off. "Mariah is named after..", "Shut up Colton.." she muttered, as he looked at her with a smirk, "Why don't you make me." he glared at her but then back at me, "Whatever it is..I don't need to know Colton.." I said, "So you don't want to know who she was named after?" Colton asked, he looked at Rosemary and me yet again, he was getting on my nerves. "No I don't..", "I do.." Rosemary said as Colton smiled. "Well she was named after her annoying Aunt Mariana who happened to dress up as Mariah Carey during the holidays..and people had believed you were actually related to singer Mariah Carey." he and Rosemary laughed, "You know the girl who sings All I want for Christmas is.."

He booped her nose and sang "you..."  She smacked his hand, "Don't ever think about touching me.." He then grabbed her wrist and laughed, he was taking things too far. "Let go of me." though he did not let go Maya had kicked the seat he was on as he had fallen and released his grip from her wrist. She  looked at me and pulled me aside. "I know this isn't the best thing as it's happening again but can we please leave.." I nodded as I wanted to keep the good memories and not have a bad one like my mom was saying.

"For sure. And I'm sorry I had no idea he would be here.." I whispered. I went to hold her hand and proceeded to walk out of the restaurant with her. "I know it was sort of a bust..but I'm sure you will have a better time whenever he isn't there." she sighed, "Have any other places in mind?" she asked. I then told her that I did have a place in mind, and mentioned that I highly doubted that Colton would know about it as neither does Rosemary.

I went on to tell her that the place in mind was near the pier which happened to be where we were near the beach. It is a private cafe called The Magicians Cove. I then pulled out my phone and went to go and call Dominic. "Hello this Greyson from The Magicians Cove, how may I help you?", "Hey Greyson..is Dominic there?" It was silent for a minute until a familiar voice was in the background. "Who is that Greyson..", "Not sure.." I raised a brow, "Tell him its' Jacob..", "Its' someone named Jacob.." I waited until I heard Dominic's voice on the phone. "Hey sorry about that Jacob..whats' up?", "Hey I was wondering if you had a table for two available.."

I heard him laugh, "Of course I do..but who is your plus one..", "It is a girl who has a glow maroon for me.." I smiled, "So your soulmate huh..okay well you know what to do..I'll see you in a few..", "Thanks Dominic.." I hung up and saw her looking at me strangely from afar, I then walked back to her. "Alright. I got us a seat..as my friend Dominic has a table all set for us..luckily it isn't crowded." I smiled, telling her to close her eyes as we'd get there in a second. As there was a trick similar to how to get wings out.

"So will this count as our actual first date..so like a second do-over.." I laughed, "I say so. Anyways. You seem to be tense. Every thought that maybe breathing or taking a few breaths to help to lighten you up a bit." She raised a brow, "What?", "Are you overthinking is what I am asking. I've been told even though I overthink a lot, I will somehow make it harder to concentrate on stuff like all the fun I may never see in the world." She raised a brow, "So you're saying I have no fun..and are an overthinker?" I nodded, "Yes. But I know what happened earlier frightened you and scared you and made you go back into your shell but take a chance and trust me and my words. You're gonna like to have fun even if you're overthinking everything." She looked at me, "Just breathe in and out.." She had taken a few breaths, "So stop thinking and start counting down. Counting down from five," She tilted her head, but ended up taking my advice. "You know I won't let anything happen to you. You know that."

She nodded as her eyes closed, I placed my hands over her eyes but felt her trying to peek, "five..four..three..", "I know your eyes are open.." I whispered as I heard her laugh. "Take it from five.."  I said. "Sorry.." this time I knew her eyes were closed. "Five..four..three..two..and..one.." I laughed. "Open.." I whisper as I remove my hands. As all we had to do was to think of the place and Dominic would do the rest as he knew how to receive mind waves to those who said the cafe name.
