Love me tender, please (Sonamy)

Teen romance

Just like any other day of late October, people are buying freshly grown pumpkins from local stores to make the producers happy. Or that is just what I think they do.

Ah, late October. The perfect time for people to prepare for Samhain. Just how we know our young and fearless pink hedgehog, she decides to start the day with a general tarot reading. One for love.

She is already expecting it to be about the brave blue hedgehog she is crazy about, but the cards have some other plans for her.

The king of Cups. But it's upside down. Lazy, liar, superficial, unworthy of trust. The love you desire will not materialize the way you have dreamed of. 

Our lovely Amy Rose is shocked by this card. She knows her beloved Sonic is nothing like this. He is a loyal young man who saves the world. It wouldn't be in his character to do such thing.

She cannot accept this reading, so she goes out for a walk to clear her mind. She has a deep rooted trust into the Tarot cards, as they brought Sonic into her life that day...

As sad as she is in this moment, her favorite coffee shop appears into her way. She decides she wants a very hot latte macchiato. 

As she waits for her order, she sees a very familiar smirk. Her heart is at a high rate. It's not our Sonic we're talking about, but Scourge. The well known bad boy who pulls pranks on others. Especially on our pink friend.

She is panicking because she is alone and is afraid of him.

"Hey, Rosy!" she hears a deep voice shout as she is trying to hide her face with a tissue. She is embarrassed now. "I know you are there, I can see your body." he adds.

Amelia sighs. "Hey, Scourge. What's up? Heh..." he smirks at her and takes a sit in front of her uninvited.

"Well, you know... drinking a pumpkin latte nowadays." he raises both his hands. Amy smiles shyly at him. She is wondering what he wants from her. "Cool." she says under her tongue. 

"What was that?" he asks. Amy repeats herself. "Phht. You know what would be cooler, Rose? Coming on a date with me." Scourge raises a thumb on his chest with a bright confidence.

Amy is flabbergasted by what he has asked her. 

"So... watcha say?" he adds. One single thought comes to her mind Why would he want a date with her, when she was bullied by him all her teenage years? She wants to decline but Scourge interrupts her before speaking out.

"We'll leave right after you finish your coffee drink. No is a lame answer." he sips from his straw.

Amy can't believe the nerve this guy has. She wishes Sonic would be here to rescue her, but she has to do this on her own. She also thinks that giving Scourge a chance wouldn't be bad.

After all, they are now young adults and maybe he grew up mentally. Also she is alone, she needs some company in some way or another.

"Miss, here is your latte macchiato." the waitress hands her the drink and the two hedgehogs sit in silence.

Scourge's motorcycle freaks Amy out. "We are going by that?" she asks. Scourge is amused by her scared voice. "Of course we are." He puts on his helmet and helps Amy with hers and hops on the motor.

Amy has no other choice but to hug him from behind for the whole ride. Scourge enjoys this. Amy is learning to get comfortable with this, with him especially.

Where is he taking me? Why is he so nice to me all of the sudden? At least he smells like heaven...
