Chapter 12 - The Date
Maven Jacobs
There you are, Chloe! Where have you been, I've been looking for you all morning!
Chloe Cage
Sorry, I went stargazing and ended up falling asleep. I'm fine, though! How about you? What did you have for breakfast?
Maven was his usual flustered self. We toured the shops during the day and went out for lunch at the restaurant that he had booked.
I came across some cute yet cheap accessories and bought a few from the vendor with a sweet smile.
Maven Jacobs
You like jewellery?
Chloe Cage
Just the cute kind! And if it's cheap, that's better too...
I sighed at that. My poor wallet after university...
Maven Jacobs
Why don't we go to the marketplace. There's a bunch of cheap accessories that were handmade.
Chloe Cage
Wow, you are so resourceful Maven!
Skipping ahead, Maven grinned. The research that he had done last night paid off.
Following closely behind us was Prescott, Liam's personal spy and interruptor. He was tasked with the important job of keeping anything affectionate from occurring without making his position known.
Maven glanced at my free hand and smiled, leaning towards me to hold it. Then, something hard hit the back of his head.
Chloe Cage
Oh, gosh! A flying apple? Are you okay?
I knelt down and then rubbed the bump on the back of his head.
Chloe Cage
There, there... it hurts, doesn't it?
Maven Jacobs
N-No, I doesn't. I'm fine!
However, he seemed to have gotten up a little bit too fast because the next thing you know, he did a faceplant against the pavement.
Chloe Cage
Are you sure you're fine, Maven?
Maven Jacobs
Yeah, never better!
I helped him up and smiled gently at him, making him blush.
Chloe Cage
Let's go to that market you were talking about!
As we walked away, Prescott sighed and disappeared into the shadows yet again like a hitman.
As we walked around the market, I picked up some cute handmade scarves and necklaces.
Prescott then took a kid and smiled.
Prescott
Fancy earning some pocket change, kid?
As I finished looking at the necklaces, I turned quickly and a kid bumped into me, splashing my clothes with a melted shaved ice.
I was left soaked, my white woolen dress stained forever. This cost me a small fortune...
I then smiled and took out my purse, handing him a few coins.
Chloe Cage
It's fine. I'm sorry about your shaved ice. Here, take this to buy another one. That's a good boy.
Taking the money, he ran away.
Maven Jacobs
You were so nice about that... he just ruined your dress!
Chloe Cage
It's fine, really.
Maven Jacobs
But the inn is two hours away and, no offence, it looks like you're just murdered someone.
I sighed. The liquid was getting really sticky too.
Suddenly, I heard a weird sound which was unusual for a place like this.
I then looked up and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him.
Chloe Cage
I... can't believe him.
Standing at the door of the helicopter was none other than Liam Nightly, sneering down at me.
As the helicopter landed in the empty field tnext to the market, Liam jumped out and walked towards me, his hands in the pocket of his expensive blazer.
Liam Nightly
I saw a huge red sign and thought that it was the landing sign. My mistake.
I want to kill this rich and pompous axs.
