"Crepe?"28Please respect copyright.PENANA283mJDEuq4
Emery looked at him, and blinked.28Please respect copyright.PENANA4jnkGopgfD
"What?"28Please respect copyright.PENANArUfx3D2oIq
"Strawberry or Chocolate?"28Please respect copyright.PENANATNLVrvTGzJ
Emery sighed laughing softly.28Please respect copyright.PENANAmxUa1prMqv
"Chocolate it is." She replied, stepping into the bakery behind him. He went up to the cashier asking her for a Chocolate Crepe, with Strawberries and Whipped cream on it. Emery breathed in the sweet smell of the bakery, smiling at a little kid who whispered.28Please respect copyright.PENANAxj6k2ouUIr
'Mommy, she's pretty.' Making her heart melt, Cassian moved to wait for the order as Emery stood beside him. The mist kept recoiling, watching them from outside. Emery spotted Jules, as if it was just a universal coincidence. She blinked when she saw someone next to her. Around Ian's age, she recognized him. Jett, Jules' little brother, or well J.C. That's where she recognized Jules from, Ian and J.C. had gone to music camp together, they were best friends. J.C. turned to look at Emery, he smiled slightly at her as she smiled back. Cassian grabbed the crepe and stepped out the bakery. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAyXs2WmUi3z
"So, who's J.C.?" He asked. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAYKmPM9Bpp2
"Ian's best friend, they met in music camp. That's where I first met Jules, we just don't talk much is all. Guess I'll have to start now though, if I want answers for what happened." She said, as she took a bite, didn't even notice when excess chocolate fell onto the corner of her mouth. Cassian reached out, quickly wiping it off the pad of his thumb sitting there for a second too long before they got interrupted. '
"Hey there lovebirds. This is J.C.. My little brother, Emery knows him. But well, why don't you tell them what happened. I'll be over there if y'all need me." She said, pushing him forward. He muttered under his breath before looking back up at Cassian and Emery. He started explaining his voice shaking slightly. Emery listened carefully. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAFQeua2H3IF
"So then well, he told me about the mist? Whatever the hell that means, and he mentioned a girl. I think she was your age? I can't remember her name right now, but he said she knew you and-"28Please respect copyright.PENANANib3gPSA2i
"Uh, okay! Thanks, Jett for that. I think we have to get going. Right, little ghost?" Cassian said, putting his arm around her shoulders and smiling dangerously sweet. Emery blinked. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAj8z4xavBW0
"Wha-"28Please respect copyright.PENANA0rimBH7UBY
"Very well, c'mon. Thanks again, Jett." He said, and started walking away with Emery, as they got to a reasonable distance Emery pushed him away. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAAlB4wV09VB
"What the fuck was that for?" She asked, crossing her arms. Cassian sighed, looking back at her. 28Please respect copyright.PENANA36mIrIeoZJ
"Pulling you away from the truth you're not ready to face yet. I don't want you to get hurt this early, okay?" He tucked a strand of hair behind her air, smiling softly at her. She blinked, she shouldn't really let this happen. But she still was, she didn't stop him when his lips kissed her forehead softly and he pulled back. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAQqKIvA1KtF
"But that still doesn't explain the truth you're talking about." She muttered, looking away as if her face wasn't burning up. Cassian stepped back. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAF1sSOmQAOa
"If you really want the truth, you'll have to look for it. In the people you most trust in this world. And you have a chocolate smudged on your nose." He said, rubbing it off for her. She sighed, shaking her head. 28Please respect copyright.PENANA9groYJTWSx
"You're insufferable, y'know?" 28Please respect copyright.PENANASoNjnjJsPi
He just laughed, nodding. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAgFHrYzrLgi
"I know, princess I know." He paused, "by the way. Can we pretend being a couple so that way I can go over to your house for the research and other things we have to get started on?" 28Please respect copyright.PENANADWAQGoQPo6
"Yeah, sure. As long as we don't fall in love for real. I'm fine with it." If only she knew that would never happen, she would've never agreed to it.
