Dartemis POV
I watched her walk around the room. There was a bounce in her step that was getting more and more pronounced. She kept glancing at her watch as she cleaned tables and took orders. Just five minutes left I heard her think at one point. Then my food arrived.
She set down the plate in front of me and I took a moment to examine it. There were three flat pieces of what seemed to be pastry stacked on top of each other, oozing some sort of some sort of golden liquid. On the top was a clump of yellow that was slowly melting. I had no clue what on earth it could be.
I looked up at her. She raised an eyebrow at my evident confusion. "What is this?" I wondered if she would think my head was loose. I would never know; I was strictly under oath never to listen to her thoughts.
Her eyebrows furrowed this time. "What do you mean 'what is this'? How can you not know what this is?"
"I'm from out of town" Out of the universe actually, but close enough.
"Those are pancakes."
"Pancakes?" How can you make a cake in a pan?
"Pancakes." She repeated. "Go ahead and taste." She waited while I cut out a piece and put it in my mouth. I chewed and my mouth was bombarded with an explosion of taste.
It was beaten only by chocolate. It was divine.
Coral POV
The look on his face was hilarious. His eyes were slightly nervous as he placed the piece in his mouth. Then his whole face relaxed into an expression of complete ecstasy, illuminating from within. I giggled. "I knew you would like it."
He smiled brilliantly. "It's fabulous." He went back to eating and I left to change. Nick should be here any minute. I waited inside; it was way too cold and windy. I poured myself a coffee and sat at an empty table sipping the hot liquid. My eyes unconsciously found their way to him. He was already more than half was through. I giggled again. He was fast.
I was feeling strangely high for some reason. He looked up from his now empty plate and caught me looking. I blushed.
He extended a long arm, indicating to the empty seat across from him. I had nothing better to do, so I got up and sat across from him, taking my coffee with me. He had long slender fingers and I wondered briefly how it would feel like to have him touch me, sliding his warm pale hands across my skin... Stop it Coral! You're acting like a hormonal fifteen-year-old! I blushed deeper, biting my lips against the sudden urge to kiss him. It had gotten me in trouble before.
"Would you mind telling me what this liquid is?" I laughed at his question. He was completely clueless.
"It's maple syrup. Do you like it?"
"Actually I think I'm falling in love." He smiled again. His lips were so amazingly sexy. They were a rich red that contrasted amazingly with his pale skin. Oh how I wanted to kiss them.
I sighed. I would have to gain control of my thoughts or I would end up doing something I would regret. I think it's my time of month what with all my impulses. I would have to grab some pads on my way home.
I looked up again and he had an amused look on his face. "What?"
"Nothing. I was just wondering why you were pouting. It's adorable"
I blushed. Where was Nick?
