I sighed heavily, my back hitting the wall behind me. My best friend, Theo the Rillaboom held up his fist for a fist bump. I smiled slightly, tapping my gloved paw to his fist. "Keep going, Cin! You'll be a real star in no time!" He grinned, his deep voice booming loudly. I nodded. Theo wasn't that much into sports; He loved video games more than anything. "I think... that's enough practice... for now..." I breathed, starting to actually catch my breath. Theo led me out of the training grounds, letting me get changed first in my usual attire; A black sweater with red sleeves and a red hoodie, black tights, and red sneakers. Theo had a green shirt that said "I don't care" on it, some blue jeans, and some white sneakers. "Wanna grab a quick bite at that new bakery?" Theo asked me. I heard about this place before. It had the appearance of a spy hideout or whatever, and the quality of the food was absolutely marvelous. It was cheap, too! "Yeah. Do you want me to call Sera?" I asked. Theo nodded. I quickly grabbed Sera's magic ball that worked basically like a phone. Theo went inside to get us a table. "Hey Cinder." Sera said. "Hey, Sera. Theo and I have been wondering if you want to try out this new bakery with me?" I asked. The magic ball was silent for a while. "Okay!" Sera finally answered. "Lemme teleport there." I saw the ground sparkle before me, and Sera the Hattrem appeared before her. Sera giggled. "Hey Sera." I smiled. Theo came running outside. "Come on, girls!" He grinned and went back inside, Sera and I following close behind.

We sat at a table with purple roses in the middle. The beautiful scenery and black, spy, undercover theme to the bakery was breathtaking. I picked up one of the three roses from the center on the table. I sniffed it, it's lavender scent filling my nose. Theo was busy showing the menu to Sera. "Ooh! Look, they got pies, brownies, and- OOH! Cake!" Theo almost started shouting. I looked at the menu. "That chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream is looking real good to me." I said, twirling the rose.

"Are you three ready to order?"

A sudden voice almost causing me to jump out of my seat. I looked over to see an Inteleon with a sly smirk on his face. "Heck yeah! Can I get this thing I can't pronounce?" Theo showed the waiter the menu. "Ah, a crepe." The Inteleon said smoothly like it was nothing. I blushed at his beautiful voice and his extremely good looks. I looked at his face, then his outfit; it fit so well on him. He had slick, thin arms and black hands that looked like a glove. I continued to look at him, until he noticed, which I quickly looked away and blushed madly. He stood up and put a hand on his hip and smirked at me. "Like what you see?~" He cooed.
I avoided all eye contact and muttered. "I'll have the chocolate cake deluxe." Sera raised her tiny hand. "I'll have a vanilla cake deluxe! That's the dominant flavor!" She grinned. I rolled my eyes. I felt the rose in my hand get taken. I looked up in shock as the Inteleon slipped the rose behind my ear. "Look what I taped to it later, m'lady." He walked away with our orders and the blush on my face reached out to the tips of my ears. I quickly put my hoodie on my head, avoiding eye contact with anyone. "Yo... he was hitting on you!" Theo gasped scandalously. "Y-Yeah... I noticed..." Cinder stuttered slightly.

We got our desserts. I got my fork and cut through the cake, scooping a bit of ice cream up with it and tasted it for the first time.

(POV changes to third)
Cinder's eyes widened. It. Was. So. Good!! Cinder moaned in delight at the delicious taste and started shoving more cake and ice cream in her mouth. Theo dug into his food and Sera started nomming on her cake. Cinder was the first to finished. She crossed her leg. She started thinking about the Inteleon. She couldn't shake off his soft, quiet words that seemed to make her body radiate heat. 'Look what I taped to it later, m'lady' He called her "m'lady", too! Cinder placed her paw on her beating heart. "Cin, you okay?" Sera asked. Cinder twitched. "Yeah! Just my fire type side effects kicking in..." Cinder adverted her attention away from her friends. Theo finished his food, and so did Sera. The Inteleon waiter came back eventually to receive their pay. "It's on me, girls!" Theo chuckled as he slid the money over to the receipt. "Uhm... here's a tip.." Cinder muttered, dropping about thirty dollars with it. Inteleon smirked. "Thank you, m'lady." He winked. Cinder stared up at him, her face red as a tomato. "D-Don't say that to someone in public! P-Pokémon c-could be l-listening..." She whimpered. Theo grabbed Cinder's arm. "I'd love to stay and chat but we have to go, bye bye!" He hurriedly ran out the door with Sera close behind.

Cinder walked into her apartment, putting her backpack in her closet of her room. She slowly took out the rose behind her ear and say a note taped to it;
               ~~Text Me, M'Lady~~
          XXX-XXX-XXXX

Cinder blinked. She normally would rip the paper to shreds, but...
She punched each number into her contacts.
And named the Inteleon "Rose Freak"
Her paws trembled as she started typing her first message, and most definitely not her last.

Cinder: Uh.. I got you added, now why are you flirting with me??
