Two Halves of a Whole

The Bakery

      After walking through some of the most delicious smells, coming from the stores the pair finally reached mistletoe. "Oh Rane, I forgot to use the restroom. Go inside and I shall come after I go." Lindsey nearly jumps out of her pants. "Ok, ok. Be safe though." Rane said watching Lindsey before she dashed off. She wasn't worried that Lindsey would get hurt because she had strong wind magic, but she still mind linked the guard telling him where they were. Turning around to go inside Rane bumped head first into a boy. Looking up she saw that he was striking. Approximately 5'7 even though he didn't seem much older than her. 

      Dark brown hair that seemed to turn red when it hit the sunlight. He also had hard dark black eyes that looked like they were staring into your soul. He seemed to be fit, and you could tell that he worked out often. Realizing that she was checking him out, Rane quickly apologized. "Umm. I'm sorry sir for hitting you." Rane said with a slight blush on her cheeks. "Your fine Miss. Were you going to Mistletoe too?" The stranger said in a cool soothing voice. "Yes I am. Perhaps I could buy you something as an Apology." Rane said, realizing that she had caused him to drop his Ice Cream. "That would be lovely Miss?" The stranger said, asking her name. "Rane. Rane Rose'' Rane said as confidently as she could. Something about this stranger made her nervous, yet excited. 

      "And my name is Ashe, Ashe Saxe." He said with a smirk as he saw her blush. So the two of them entered the bakery and went to order their food. "So Ashe. You're from the Saxe family. If I'm not mistaken they are the family in which almost all of the royal advisors come." Rane said. She knew the Saxe family had great power. Since they made up most of the Royal Assemble, which helped the king and could also pass laws they basically had control of ⅓ of the kingdom. "Yes that is correct, but I lost my siblings in a fire. Then they found me and I turned out to be the long lost heir from 7 years ago.." Ashe said with a pained expression. "I remember that incident. So you're currently the heir of the Saxe family fortune though?" Rane said, wondering if the question was too personal. "Yes that is correct. Also I believe you aren't the famous child of the Rose family in which the queen came from!" Ashe asked. "That would be correct." Rane said while motioning for them to move up in line. "So you're the girl with the water magic, and the blessing of Angel Uriel?" Ashe asked while looking at the screen to see what to order. "That is correct. 

      What magic do you have ?" Rane said curious about what he would have. "Well why don't you guess?"Ashe said with playfulness in his eyes. "Guessing from your name I would have to assume fire magic. Am I correct?" Rane said, waiting for his reply. "That would be so. I am a fire mage." Ashe said pridefully. "What would you like to order?" The waiter said while sneakily catching glimpses of Ashe. "I would like 2 tears of a unicorn, 2 brittle cakes, and 1 fudge mountain please." Rane said, deciding to order for Lindsey soon. She began to worry, noticing that she hadn't returned. "I would like 1 ice cream delight please my kind Miss." Ashe said, which caused the waiter to blush profusely. 

     "That will be 5 silver coins please." The waitress said shyly. Just as Rane was about to pay Ashe swooped in and paid for the treat. "Hey! This was my treat." Rane said to Ashe. She didn't know why but she got jealous and angry as soon as she saw how the waitress was looking at Ashe. It upset her and ruined her mood. "Calm down grumbling princess. This one is on me." Ashe said flashing Rane an award winning smile. Rane blushed as soon as she saw his smile. She tried to cover it with her hand, and said, "Hey. I'm not a grumbling princess." Rane said and flashed Ashe a smile to prove him wrong. Laughing Ashe said "Yes, yes a smiling princess." Blushing again Rane couldn't understand what was happening. Nobody else acted like this around her, so she assumed that was why her heart fluttered why he smiled. Standing their furious the waitress quickly grabbed the money and said "Thank you, your food will be ready in a second." through gritted teeth. "Yes grumbling princess will be the name, and have a nice day." Ashe said and quickly pulled Rane away before she could protest. With a laugh and a sigh they both waited for their food lost in thoughts about the other.
