New Life

Celebration Part 3

(Lin's POV)

"Okay can you give me a hint as to where we are going?" she asked innocently as we came to a halt at the edge of the sidewalk to wait for some cars to pass once passed we began to walk yet again towards my rental, car.

"Well it is some where classy." I responded with a sideways glance as we approached my car. I unlocked the car and held the passenger side door open for her and once she was in I closed the door and went to the drivers side and got in as I did so I saw Mai buckling up so I proceeded by buckling up and starting the car. I remember her asking me how I could still remember where she lives as her apartment came into view and I told her, "I have a great memory and I always remember when people live just in case I have to pick them up or any other situation that might occur. You must also remember that I use to drop you off every time we had finished a case so it was not that hard to remember where you live."

"Oh... well I did not think of that." I heard her respond from beside me in the car as we pulled in to the parking lot of the apartments. I ten turned off my car and proceeded to exit my car and just as I closed the drivers door I saw that Mai was already out of the car. "Come on lets go in so I can get changed." she said and began to walk towards her apartment. once at her door she unlocked it she went in and dropped her keys on the kitchen counter and told me to close the door behind me as I watched her turn down the hallway heading towards what I can assume is her bedroom. Yet only after about six maybe seven minuets did she ask me a question, "Lin tell me how classy is this place we are going to on a scale of one to ten?"

"I would have to say that it is a seven and a half at the most...so a nice work outfit would do."

"Oh Lin can you tell me if this is okay" I heard her ask after maybe four minuets so I looked down the hallway and was stunned by what I saw. There she stood in a black dress with a beige blazer with a black interior lining, with a bracelet that was a rose gold and by what I could tell was adorned with a type of pinkish quarts as the jewels. The same type of metal and quarts were on her necklace and were for her ear rings as well. She also wore a pair or heals or pumps that were beige with a black platform and a black bow on the top of the heals near the toes.

"Um...that is perfect there is nothing to worry about it looks good." I spoke as I saw a blush begin to grace her cheeks. I would later find out that I had been staring at her for quite a bit of time.

"Oh okay then let me get my purse then we can go alright?" She said as she went back into her bedroom. When she returned to the living room, the purse she had with her was black and beige and matched her outfit to a tee. "Alright I am ready lets go." She smiled ask she grabbed her keys of the counter and began to walk to the door once I was out of her apartment she pulled the door closed and locked it once she was fished doing that we walked beck to my car and headed to the restaurant. I parked my car and proceed to help Mai get out of the car. Once that was done I locked the car and walked next to her once we were at the hostess counter I told her my name and then we were lead to our table that was in a privet room.

While we were walking back to the privet room Mai looked so excited to be here. Then went the hostess finally opened the door to the private room and to our table she waved us to sit down, and told us that our server would be here shortly and she left us alone. I turned towards Mai and said ""Sorry I wanted us to have some privacy so that we could talk about what has been going on with you while I have been in England."

"Every thing has been fine nothing other that what I have told you has happened to me while you were gone." She said with a big smile.

I looked at her and I had the feeling that she was not telling me everything so I told her exactly that, "Mai I mean it tell me what is wrong the way that you wrote the emails basically told me that something was wrong with your powers. Pleas tell me Mai I am truly worried about you and your health. If your powers have gotten stronger and are scaring you then I can help you by teaching you how to block them."

"Oh...Lin I am so sorry I am just scared I don't know how to explain it. I feel as if my powers are on the edge of becoming to great for me to control, my dreams are coming to me very night now and these ones are even more detailed than they were before when you guys were here. even last night I felt as if they got worse last night I felt as if I was the person and the pain that they felt effected me when I woke up I was still in so much pain form the dream it felt like I was experiencing their pain before their deaths." she said as she looked down at the table. I was stunned at what she had just said with what she was telling me the worry I had for her turned into fear at the realization that this meant that her powers were defiantly increasing far beyond what I thought they had over the past few months.

I looked Mai in the eyes and said, "Mai... if your powers progress any more you need to call me immediately even if I am here or in England no matter the time hearing this information worries me that it is only going to get worse from here on out. So call me if it gets worse no mater the time this matter is more important than my sleep do you understand that Mai?"

"Yes Lin I understand what you are telling me." She said as she peaked up at me from under her bangs.

"Now Mai lets look at the menu before the server gets here so we know what we want to drink and maybe what we want to eat." I said as i breather a breath of relief and picked up my menu as she picked up her, and before she could even look at the food I told her, "Oh and Mai..." as I noticed her lifter her head as if to acknowledge me I continued to speak "don't worry about the cost of anything this is all on me, consider it as a gift for all of your hard work." I smiled at her and went back to looking at the menu after I caught her head nod in acknowledgement of what I just told her. That night was fun just talking to her and hearing how school and work has been for her. Then after dinner I dropped her off at her apartment and told her good night. What I did not expect was the phone call later that night.
