[GL] Black Gold

Chapter 32

"Do you have time now?"

Camie got taken aback by the sudden question:

"Hum, yes.

-Great. Then if it's okay with you, we could go get that coffee that we promised. Last time we got interrupted."

Camie was scared about staying alone with Théa for some reason, but she didn't see any reason to refuse. Moreover, she did already say that she was free. At the beginning she only invited her to a coffee to get her far from the attack. Well, that didn't work but at the end she did succeed in giving Black Gold her first break. They deserved a coffee to celebrate:

"Sure.

-Great! I don't think we could go back to the same place. It closed for a few days after the attack. But I know a very nice place not far from the University.

-Okay, I trust you."

Théa started laughing for some reason, but Camie didn't dare ask why. Théa had told the truth and they only walked for ten minutes before they found themselves in front of a very cute coffee shop. It was hidden in a tiny road and had almost no signs outside. However inside it was full of plants and colorful lights. When Camie walked in, she forgot to close her mouth:

"Wow..."

Théa smiled, not looking away from Camie for a second:

"Do you like it?

-I do! It's adorable!

-I am so glad. I found this on a post about the best date ideas in the city."

Camie almost choked. Date? Had she heard it right? Date as in date with a friend or date as in date with someone you are romantically interested in? No, it couldn't be. She laughed awkwardly. How could she think for a second that Théa would ask her on a date? Impossible.

"You can sit down; I'll get the drinks."

Wanting to disappear for having weird thoughts, Camie quickly nodded and found the table the furthest away from other people. She sat there and waited for a few minutes before she remembered something: if she was here and Théa was ordering, then Théa would be the one to pay even for Camie's drink. Having realized that, Camie immediately jumped up, but it was too late. Théa was already walking towards the table with two drinks that she put down on the table:

"Here you go.

-Oh, thank you. How much do I owe you?

-What if you paid next time? This way it won't be a gift, it would just be a delayed payment. Does that sound good?"

Camie thought about it for a bit.

"Okay.

-Great. I am very happy that you agreed to come. I really like spending time with you."

Being suddenly shy, Camie quickly tasted her drink:

"Oh! This is very good!

-You wanted the caramel milkshake last time, so I got you something similar.

-You remembered?

-Of course."

Camie laughed:

"Sorry, I forgot that it was literally yesterday."

Théa shook her head:

"That's not the reason. I remember everything you say."

Camie frowned:

"Impossible."

Théa smirked before bending very close to Camie's face:

"Oh really? Do you want to quiz me?
