                          Emily's pov ^o^

           I took a bite of Mae's delightful cupcakes , and the taste was as amazing as always . I had smudged some icing on my nose but I didn't seem to notice .

            " Haha ", Leo laughed , pointing at my nose .

            " What's funny ", I asked confused , turning to Mae and Ray who also started laughing .

             " What is so funny you guys ", I asked again .

            " You smudged some icing on your nose ", Mae said , and I looked at them with eyes that meant ' seriously ? ' but they continued laughing notwithstanding .

            I took a cupcake from the tray , and threw it at Leo , and his face was covered in icing . He sat there frozen in shock .

             " Food fight ! ", Mae declared .

            " Not the cupcakes ", Ray complained .

            " I'll make some later ", Mae said , throwing a cupcake at Ray .

      I made to turn to Leo , but midway , I was intercepted by a cupcake that hit my cheek . And of course it was from my dear boyfriend , Leo . He was so dead !

         I carried a couple of cupcakes and threw them at Leo one after the other , , trying my best to dodge his own aims .

                " Great ! We're out of cupcakes ", Mae said .

             " We give up ", Ray said .

              " Speak for yourself , I was definitely going to crush Emily ", Leo said and I shot him a glance .

           " Oh really ? ", I asked .

           " I take that back , maybe it was a tie ", Leo said and we all burst out laughing .

           " Can I open the wine now ? ", Ray asked .

           " go ahead , but Emily and I are going to have milkshakes ", Mae said .

          " Why won't you have wine ? ", Leo said to me in what sounded like a whisper .

           " Um...... I'm actually lightheaded , so I don't do alcohol ", I responded .

           " Well , I am not going to take no for an answer , you have to have some wine , even as little as a glass ", Leo said , and I didn't have a choice , since I didn't want to go against him , moreover one glass wouldn't hurt .

           " Ohk fine ", I said

            " Emily would have wine , so I guess you're alone Mae ", Leo announced .

            " I might as well just have wine today , just this once at least ", Mae said .

         " I'll just put the milkshakes into the fridge and get extra glasses for our wine ", Mae added , then she took the milkshakes and left .

        Not long after , she came in with two glass cups for our wines .

        Ray popped the wine open , and he poured some into all the glasses , and we all took our glasses .

           " I really need a shower ", I said to Leo .

           " Well , after having your drink , you can take a shower and Mae could give you some of her clothes ", Leo said , but I felt kinda guilty about it .
