A/N: Wow. Thanks for all you readers who participated. I got a lot of responses. Some of you had repeated answers, but these people's flavors felt right. This chapter goes out to: waffles12, AutumnReign, HPsibunaSara, Early-Birdie-Girlie, and 2theleftx2. Sorry, due to revision, we'll find out why Nina was trapped down in the pit so long in a later chapter.
*Amber's POV*
Dinner was great. Mara grabbed a doggie bag along with some blankets and threw them down to Jerome. That rogue, he really does deserve to spend a night in his trap. Trudy was just about done serving ice cream when she got back.
We all got cones. Next to me, Fabian was entertaining Nina with his Victor impression. I was glad I hadn't created any awkward tension between them. Remember, Millington, think before you speak.
"Remember that time you jumped because you thought I was Victor? That was such a Kodak moment."
Nina laughed. "Shut up." Then she smeared some of her cookie dough ice cream on Fabian. He smiled, then rubbed some of his chocolate ice cream on her cheek. Ooh, this was just like the outdoor cafe scene in all those rom coms. Will one of them make a bigger move already? I looked over at Mick. He was nearly finished with his orange sherbet and was eyeing Mara's vanilla cone. Alfie was just continuously licking his mint chocolate chip like a dog lapping up water. I took another bite out of my strawberry fudge. Patricia was already chomping part of her cone, making her cookies and cream run down the sides.
Trudy came into the dining room. "Well, this is a nice change- no food fight." Then she caught sight of Nina and Fabian, who hadn't cleaned up, and smiled a knowing smile. "Just don't mess up the floor, you two," she called as she went back into the kitchen. Both of them turned a little red. I needed to keep my mouth shut- I didn't need Nina falling down another pit again. How could I help increase the romance without saying anything? Then it hit me: maybe if we left them alone sparks would fly. I texted Patricia and Amber. Once, they read it, they looked up at me and nodded. Mara whispered to Mick, and they stood up and exited, followed soon after by Patricia. Now, just Alfie and I had to leave, but he didn't have his phone. How could I get him to leave with me? Hmm...
"Hey, Alfie," I said.
"Yes, Amber?" he replied as he gulped the rest of his ice cream down his throat.
"Will you help me sort through my accessories? I need a second opinion on what goes with my wardrobe."
He stood up, walked over, and offered me his arm. "Amber, I'd love to." We went upstairs. Maybe now Nina and Fabian would become a couple. It'd be so romantic if it happened on its own and not because of one of our schemes. It would prove that they were meant to be together. I'm not saying I'm going to stop trying to set them up-all of us need to be put out of our misery soon. They really are perfect for each other. Maybe fate would let me find the Fabian to my Nina before long.
