38 The Lover Special (2/2)

”I'm sorry, Cecily,” I tell her quickly letting go of her. Her little body was so warm, I'd lost track of time.

I'd also gotten lost in my own thoughts. Peeking down at her, I find that her warm and big golden eyes are darting around all over the place. They're also a little watery. Her face is completely flushed in a deep pink blush. She was pressing a hand against her heart, that I could hear it was pounding a mile a minute.

Her little cheeks were jiggling slightly as if she was going to cry, she reminded me of a small creature.

”Ce-” She starts but then stops. Ducking her head, she reaches out and grips my hand. Dragging me towards the dining area.

”Cecily's heart wasn't prepared for that,” she mutters to herself as she seats us at one of the tables.

I pull out a menu and began to skim the items. Every once in a while, I look over at her and find that she twists her fingers and muttering to herself.

This lasted for at least three minutes, her little face hadn't calmed down at all she was still blushing really hard.

”Cecil-” I start but she cuts me off.

”Cecily needs time to prepare if Hollis wants her like that,” she says as she turns towards me. Her golden eyes are firm and a determined look rest on within those golden iris'.

I felt my heart clench, but at the same time, I wanted to bite my tongue. Did she want me like that…?

Does that mean Cecily swings that way…?

Does that mean that I swing that way?!

It felt like lightning had struck me! My brain was working through all the scenarios!

”Ahem!”

We're both drawn out of our thoughts as someone clears their throat.

A young boy with cat ears that had to be no older than fifteen was standing in front of us. He was dressed simply in a waiter outfit and had a simple pad of paper in my hands. I could see his tail swinging behind him nervously and his ears are flattened to his head.

His green cat eyes are looking down at us expectantly.

”Can I take your orders?” He asks softly.

He was a cute cat boy indeed, with soft brown fur and fluffy ears.

”I'll take a mug of your Dwarves blood, and a wyvern sandwich,” I say, closing the menu in front of me.

”Okay, and you Miss?” He looks at Cecily.

Her face was once again bright red, and her little fist is clenched, and she is gritting her teeth.

”Cecily wants the LOVER'S SPECIAL!” She says with a determined look.

”Look at the little Miss!”

”You got this little girl! Tell her how you feel before someone else does!”

”The girl's got guts, she just ordered the lover's special!”

”Whew! I'd die to have someone order the lover's special for me!”

All sort of comments fly at Cecily order, she sinks lower into the chair. The already rowdy atmosphere of the guildhall began to erupt even more.

”The lovers special it is then Miss,” the little cat boy says as he drifts away.

I felt my lip twitch. My whole body was a little stiff as I try to process what just happened!

She ordered the Lover's Special!

My whole face felt like it was erupting, I duck my head and look at the table. I'd count the wood grains, that right... that would calm me down!
