Chapter 23: Is This a Date?
Knowing that her leg was caught, Camellia had to say yes to Robin's offer, but she could have punched him in the face, but she decided to accept the offer.
It has been a while since I've gone outside. Besides... Robin was just being nice... It's not like this is a date, right...? Camellia asked as she began to put some makeup on her face.
"And... Where do you think you're going?" Shadow asked then Camellia gasped.
"You scared me..."
"You didn't answer my question."
"Well... One of Light's client's friend asked me to hang out with him... And it's been a while since I've gone outside..."
"And... Did you tell Light about it?" Shadow asked then Camellia shook her head meekly. Shadow turned around and sighed loudly.
"Lemme guess; you want me to distract Light and lie to him so that you can sneak out?"
"Pretty please~?" Camellia begged tugging onto his sleeve. She kept begging him and begging him until Shadow laughed and pat her head.
"Alright, alright. I'll tell a lie and tell him that you're practicing and you want to be alone so you can focus. Now go on and have fun." He said then Camellia hugged him and giggled. When she left, Shadow crossed his arms as he watched her leave.
"Keep an eye on her, Klar." He said then Klarion appeared and smiled.
"Oh, you know I will." The witch boy said then he vanished.
As Camellia was walking around the streets, she spotted Robin and walked towards him.
"Robin!" Camellia called then Robin smiled.
"Hey. I was thinking that you weren't gonna show."
"Well, you did say you wanted to hang out with me. Besides, I wanted to hang out with you too." Camellia said then Robin turned away, blushing.
"Not to mention I need to get out of that place and take a break from all the practice."
"Yeah. You've been working hard with your passion. I think you deserve a break." Robin said as he walked around her then stood next to her. Camellia giggled then she followed Robin as they were walking.
"So where to?"
"I was thinking movies? Maybe dinner?"
"Whoa... Hold up, mister. Here you are trying to get to know me, where as for I- -know nothing about you."
"Okay. What do you wanna know?" Robin asked looking at Camellia. The girl turned her head and looked at her reflection on his sunglasses.
"Why don't you take off those sunglasses?"
"That is something I can't do." Robin said with a hint of tease in his voice. Camellia pouted her lips then Robin laughed and gently pinched her nose.
"Keep pouting and you're gonna loose all that cute."
Camellia swatted his hand and laughed.
"Speak for yourself, you know-it-all mischievous boy."
"'Know-it-all'... Maybe. 'Mischievous'... Yep."
"So... You're just agreeing with everything I said describing you?"
"Pretty much." Robin answered boldly then Camellia playfully pushed him and then Robin did the same to her. Camellia grinned then she jumped on his back and cling onto him, the two of them laughing. On top of the building, Klarion was watching Camellia as she was enjoying her date with Robin. The witch boy turned his head and saw Teekl. The cat's eyes glowed red then Klarion smiled.
