Under the galaxy

Unlike what she have mentioned before, hypnos haven't bothered to visit her this night. The clock ticks in her bedside table as darkness and silence covered the entire Baroque mansion. It's already 12:00 am yet Guinevere is still wide awake. She can't seem to make her heart calm down; the memories of their brief yet noteworthy interaction is parading at the surface of her mind and is making her heart palpitate tenfold. Guinevere rolls in her bed and just scrolled through the albums.

In conclusion for the scenes a while ago, Guinevere's family is very accepting regarding her crush status with Gusion Paxley. Her father was planning to hire him as her tutor and make him stop being a waiter, wary at his sleep schedule and health of his future son-in-law. Her mommy concurred at the decision while Lancelot is very supporting too. They seem to take a liking at him, even coming to the point of her father telling Guinevere to invite him to dinner for no apparent reason except for meeting him personally.

Guinevere couldn't help but feel fuzzy at her family's decision.

Sometimes she finds them annoying but her parents always have a knack for choosing the best for her while Lancelot is very abiding to her resolutions in life. They never fail to make her feel like she has the best family in the world. It's good to have a non-toxic family.

Guinevere scrolled through her phone and decided: she's going to her family's restaurant to take a random midnight dine. Of course, her main purpose is to see Gusion.

She hurriedly wore a whole dress and styled her hair into a messy bun. Guinevere decided to just put a light make-up in her face and sneakily left their mansion. Their house is too big that noice from the transportation vehicles couldn't really be heard. The problem is their guards. Guinevere ended up driving her pink motorbike instead and took the exit in the secret gate of their family. Gosh, it was supposed to be an emergency exit designed only for the Baroque family to know but not like anyone would find out. Desperate times call for desperate measure.

Guinevere drove through the silent streets, shivering from the cold, and halted to the familiar restaurant. There are only two customers inside and Gusion can be found standing in a corner, waiting to be called formally. He looks sleepy yet determined to stay awake until the end of his shift which is 1 am.

Guinevere removed her helmet and shivered once again as she isn't wearing a jacket. She forgot about it. After all, she is too excited to see him that such thing didn't cross her mind anymore. She hurriedly went inside, the bell dinging, making Gusion lift his gaze from staring at nowhere.

"Welcome, mademoiselle— Ms. Baroque?" His eyes widen slightly from shock but recovered and formally greeted her again. "Welcome..."

"H-Hi!" Guinevere shyly smiles at him while tucking a stray strand of her hair in her ears.

He smiled at her in a polite manner and beckoned for her to sit in a table. Guinevere followed him in daze. Luckily, the restaurant was warm making her breathe a sigh of relief. Her teeth were clanking and her lips were trembling a while ago from the cold. What an unbecoming sight of Guinevere Baroque.

He pulled the chair for her and Guinevere sat elegantly. She ended observing him and concluded that he looks so hot and cute at the same time from his waiter suit.  Guinevere ended up nibbling her lips as he gave her the menu.

"T-Thank you..." She shyly mumbles as he only smiled at her again.

The remaining customers a while ago left leaving him and her alone along with the counter lady who took a bathroom break. Guinevere pointed to a light meal as he wrote her orders including her apple pie desert.
