26 Just Another Shopping Trip........Oh Wait Its You Again (2/2)

He thought about what to do next as his magic was draining pretty fast. He decided to just leave things as they were and just go back to where he originally was. He turned around and shoved his hands into his pockets. ”Time Resume.” He said releasing the spell.

Everything happened very quickly once his speed magic was cut off. There were 5 cracking sounds that rang out one after another, followed by a number of thuds, the sounds of bodies hitting the ground followed by a bunch of screams. The surrounding crowd grew eerily silent, most of them no doubt were confused as to what happened, why five of the nobles were just lying there unconscious.

Max smiled at the shocked Caitlin as the crowd looked on at the only two standing fighters, no one even bothering to glance at the redhead fleeing the scene with her three younger siblings. The thing everyone had witnessed was five guys falling unconscious due to some blow that they couldnt see, and that left them wondering, who were these people.

”Max,” Screamed out a voice from the crowd which made the former freeze up turning around slowly. The only thing he saw was a blur of vermilion colored hair before he felt something connect to his gut, knocking the wind out of him. ”Oh, hey Mimosa, whats up?”

”Don't you whats up me!” Exclaimed Mimosa, completely ignoring the crowd. ”Your supposed to be hanging out with me and Noelle, but instead you go and play hero again?” She grabbed his hand and lead him back to where he dropped the bags. ”Pick them up and lets go.”

Max groaned as he picked up the bags. ”I thought you were mad at me, why are you suddenly talking to me again.” He ignored Caitlin as she was harmless and unable to do anything to anyone on her own, deciding to leave with Mimosa instead.

”I wasn't mad at you,” She sighed as they left the circle of people, heading for a nearby restaurant. ”I was just too embarassed and a bit too jealous to face you. If you heard me going at it with some guy last night, could you face me the next morning like nothing happened?”

Max thought about it seriously for a couple minutes as they walked inside of a nearby pub. He already knew the answer to her question, a big fat NO. He wouldn't have been able to stand it, not to mention it wouldve beem awkward the next day, with him acting the same way she had been. ”Well I guess I wouldn't have acted any different then you did. I'm sorry for making things awkward.”

”Dont be,” Mimosa said as she took a seat next to Noelle who was calmly sipping her coffee. ”Things were bound to escalate into that kinda thing sooner or later, you habe that kinda effect on others, but next time try to be a bit more quiet about it.”

Max nodded before looking over at Noelle who still had a slight blush on her face, however when she caught him looking she immediately began putting on her usual act. ”Don't look at me bug, you shouldn't expect royalty like me to apologize. You brought this on yourself, doing something so vulgar while we're underneath the same roof.”

Max laughed a little and shook his head. ”Glad to see you haven't changed very much Noelle. I want things to go back to how we had it before the incident last night, so how about we just go back to training tomorrow and get you stronger. So strong that your brothers will not only acknowledge you but also worship you.”

Noelle flicked her hair with the back of her hand before responding. ”Well I AM royalty after all so worship would only be natural. Its not like I need a mere commoner like you to teach me much, but I'll humor you for now if it shuts you up.” She took another sip of her coffee, before pulling out three black boxes. ”I got what you asked for but I'm still confused as to why you want them.”

Max was suddenly very excited when she put them down, but first he needed to do something. Reaching around his neck, he took off his Black Bulls necklace, and without so much as a warning, placed around Noelle's neck. ”Here, I want you to have this. I figured since you didnt have one before you'd feel left out. This is also for you!” He slid one of the boxes towards her. Though she had bought it, hs figured it would still be a slightly kind gesture.
