Chapter XII:

Salene walked to Danni. "I'm Salene, you are probably hungry, do you want anything?"

"We haven't eaten since yesterday" she said smiling at Salene, she sat down near Tai-San. Salene came back with two plates for Danni and Bray. "Thanks" Salene smiled at her.

"Well Bray, have you found anything about the antidote?" asked Jack

"No sorry" Bray replied sitting with Amber.

"Don't worry. Lex, Ebony and Tai-San have found the antidote but not the formula" Dal explained.

"What about you and Jack?"

"We didn't find anything either, 'our building' was destroyed" Dal answered.

"How about we talk about her?" Ebony asked.

"She is in the room and she deserves a little respect from you, alright?" Tai-San retorted.

Ebony gave Tai-San a murderous look and then turned to look at Danni. "Well, what do you want?" she asked with feign kindness.

"I don't want anything from you" Danni answered.

"Sorry, what was your name again?" Ebony asked.

"Danni"

"Ok Danni, you're not part of the tribe so you should-" but she couldn't end the sentence because Amber interrupted her.

"Excuse me Ebony but you're not part of the tribe either and no one has invited you to stay so hold your tongue."

"I've helped you all. She hasn't done anything for you so, why are you defending her?"

"Because she has brought Bray back to us, and if she's Bray's friend then she is my friend too"

"How do you know she is not trying to get Bray?" Ebony retorted.

"Like you?" everybody smiled. "I trust Bray." She turned to look at Danni. "Danni do you want to be a Mall Rat?"

"Do you all want me to be a Mall Rat?" Danni wondered.

"Well everyone who wants her to be a Mall Rat raise your hand" Amber said. Everybody, except Ebony, raised their hand. "Well, welcome to the Mall" Danni smiled. Amber looked at Bray who was smiling too.

"It's late. Time to go to bed kids." Salene said, the kids stood up and went to their bedrooms and Salene went with them.

"Well I'm glad to see you're back Bray but I have to go and put Brady to bed" Trudy said standing up and leaving the cafe.

"I'll help you figure out what we need to work on the antidote's formula" Dal offered to Jack and they left the cafe. Ebony left without saying anything. Ryan was on duty guard at the sewers tonight and Lex went to his room with Zandra. Bray, Amber and Danni were the last three in the cafe. Danni moved to Amber and Bray's table.

"Thanks Amber"

"You don't need to thank me fro anything, but I have to thank you for bringing Bray back"

"You don't have to thank me either, Bray was my prisoner and if he hasn't come back earlier it was my fault"

"Yeah I know it"

"You do?"

"Bray told me while you were arguing with Ebony" Bray nodded for confirmation. "The important thing is that you let him come back."

"Bray was right, you're a very good person Amber. He's very lucky."

"I sure am" Bray replied and kissed Amber.

"I'm not as good as you think." Amber retorted.

"Anyway, I hope we can be friends."

"Sure. Well we have to find you a place to sleep" Jack passed by the café in that moment "Jack!" the red-haired boy turned around when he heard his name. When he saw Amber and the others he went to where they were.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Jack please, can you show Danni her bedroom?"

"Yeah, follow me" he said talking to the new comer.

"Oh! One more thing Amber I want you to know that I have no intention to get between Bray and you."

"Don't worry I know it and I trust Bray. Night Danni" the two girls smiled; Danni left the cafe with Jack. Bray and Amber were alone at the cafe. Bray took Amber's hand.

"I didn't want to worry you" Bray apologised.

"I wasn't worried"

"No?"

"Well maybe a little" Bray gave her an incredulous look, "ok I was very worried about you" she gave in. He smiled at her and gave her and kissed her in the cheek.

"That's all I get for my concerned" she teased him. Bray leaned forward to kiss her again. This time it wasn't a chaste kiss, it was a hungry and full of desire kiss.

"Better?" Amber nodded and smiled. "I promise you I'll never go anywhere without you" Bray told her.

"Promise?" Amber asked him and Bray nodded.

"What are you drinking?"

"Cocoa, do you want some?"

"It reminds me of our first date"

"Me too"

"I haven't had time to ask you for Zandra, how is she doing?"

"She is better and, you know what? She asked me if you'll like to be her baby's godfather"

"You kidding?"

"No, and I'm the godmother, I told her you'll accept, was I right?"

"As always. How about you, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine now that you are here and well my ankle doesn't hurt so much. I think I'll be good in two or three days" she smiled.

"Ok, what about if we go to the room?"

"That sounds fantastic" they smiled. Bray stood up and Amber took her crutches but Bray stopped her.

"You don't need it now" he put the crutches away.

"What are you doing?" Bray smiled and took Amber in his arms carrying her bridal style. They left the cafe, and went to their room.
