Pin drop silence. All they heard was their other half breathing heavily in the next line. Maya was waiting for him to say something. She had talked all along. Aboit how she was now the mistress of Rosemertha. A sense of pride taking over her.
"Angel?"
Jungkook's voice low. A bit more alive. He terribly wanted all this to end. Maybe if all this ends, their love would be back to normal. Like the first few months.
Maya's heart fluttered. Hearing the name again. She bit her lips, hiding the rising smile. She whispered,
"Call me by that name. I handed you the rights when our eyes first met. When you held my hands and told me your dreams. When our lips matched. Call me by that name. That's all I want."
"Angel."
Jungkook chuckled. Distinctly pronouncing the small word. Maya closed her eyes as shivers ran down her body. A name only for her. Shakespeare said, what's in a name? Love. The thought behind the name that warms the lover's heart. The smile that creeps up at the first mention of that name.
"Love?"
Maya whispered, Jungkook giggled. His cheeks picking up colour.
"Yeah. I must say that you are a rather clever woman. I'm so glad that you decided to stay with me. Let's meet up, Mistress of Cards and Spirits. The same cafe?"
"Of course Hwangjanim."
Maya looked so nice in that dress. The coral pink colour complementing her warm skin tone. Her hair flowing. A coral lipstick making her luscious lips pop. Her skin dewy. She looked so beautiful.
Jungkook bit his lower lip. She was looking so gorgeous. Maya. Why were you so beautiful? He tucked his hands in his pocket. The spring breeze hitting him. He slowly crept behind the clueless girl, looking all around for him. He hummed, his lips touching her ears,
"Doegopa neoui oppa
Neoui sarangi nan neomu gopa
Doegopa neoui oppa
Neol gatgo mal geoya dugo bwa"
His arms snaked around her petite waist. Her palms found their way to his cold cheeks. She carressed it slowly,
"Neon nae Oppa
Neoui sarangi nan neomu gopa
Neon nae Oppa
Neon naekkeoya guenyang dugo bwa."
She hummed back making Jungkook chuckle. She clearly was witty. Jungkook kissed the top of her head, quickly sensing the change,
"You changed your shampoo Angel. You smell like strawberry and cherry blossoms."
Maya felt her heart leap. He noticed the smaller details. That's what love was right?
"Yeah, can I speak to the manager?"
Maya tapped her fingers on the counter. The woman in front of her looked at her. Her eyes going green for a second. Maya smirked. They had hit the right one.
She stammered,
"Why do you need to meet the manager Ma'am?"
"Oh you exactly know why."
Maya smirked, leaning in, her voice a lot huskier than usual. A sudden authority could be heard in her voice,
"I assume Rosemertha informed you."
"Rosemertha? Sorry but you clearly are barking up the wrong tree..."
"I clearly am not. If I was wrong, then why would you be lying?"
"I AM NOT LYING."
Maya chuckled bitterly. Lwaving Jungkook awestruck. He loved her. Yes he did. Maya looked at the waitress, eye to eye,
"I beat Rosemertha up in her own game. Do you think I can't differentiate between your filthy lie? Think again."
Maya crossed her arms on her chest. Laying a bit back. She cocked an eyebrow sarcastically,
"I have all the time you need Darling."
Jungkook side eyed Maya. He felt envy growing on him. Why? He doesn't know. Maybe just the way Darling sounded on her tongue. And how it wasn't for him.
"You have gone mad!"
Maya chuckled before mumbling a few words,
"Accendit ignis parvus."
A small blue flame appeared on her fingers. She blew it towards the waitress. Who flinched, yelling in fear,
"Perdere, Perdere, PERDERE!"
Maya chuckled, clicking her fingers as the flame disappeared. She strolled slowly towards the waitress. Her hips moving, her heels clicking against the wooden floor. She traced the woman's beautiful face,
"Will you lead me to your manager or do you want to see a few more antics?"
"You were so good! How? When did you learn all these?"
Maya giggled. Jungkook looked an excited kid. A very excited kid.
His doe eyes glowing. His lips agape. He was almost jumping around. He whisper shouted again,
"Oh please tell me Angel. I'm dying to know!"
Maya whispered back coyly,
"This morning. Summoned Rosemertha. Thought I might need it. Here, look at this."
She showed her a small ring on her index finger. She rubbed it with her thumb. Her eyes glowing, she couldn't hide her smile,
"I'm damn clueless. This ring is guiding me."
Jungkook cupped her face. She was the adorable soul he knew at the end of the day. Oh, he would kill to make her forever his. Wait, they are planning a forever. Whew! No murder necessary. Till now.
"I thought I'd be the first one to give you a ring."
Jungkook whispered, Maya hummed back,
"Sorry..."
"Don't be Sunshine. I love you and will give you a promise ring, when we step out. My lady is now the Mistress of Cards and Spirits. Wow! Mistress. Heavy word. But we can switch it sometimes to spice it up don't you think?"
Jungkook raised his eyebrows, pulling up a silly smile. Maya giggled loudly. Making the waitress that was leading them grunt. Maya somehow surpressed her chuckles,
"Sorry, it's on me."
The waitress rolled her eyes, walking away. The couple exchanged glances before breaking out into a muffled, squeaky giggle.
The minimalistic coffee shop ends here. The waitress clicked her finger on an electric lock pad. Maya quickly jotted down the number inside her brain. 9799. She saw Jungkook doing the same as well.
"Access Granted."
A robotic voice chimed before what they have thought as a wall, split up. Both Maya and Jungkook gasped. A neon light from the other side hitting their eyes. Jungkook flinched, as Maya gobbled every sight of the futuristic environment. The waitress cleared her throat before bowing,
"You have all the will to back off or enter. You can make a choice now or never. Do you really want to enter Madame?"
Maya glanced at Jungkook. Her heart beating faster. Should she? What if it goes south? She doesn't wnat to lose the game she has the upper hand on. But they also want all this to end.
Jungkook noticed how Maya gulped. Her eyes losing their confidence. Jungkook smiled, entwining his long, cold fingers with her warm ones. This needs to end.
"Even if it goes downhill. Atleast we are together. Right?"
