Emery finished dusting the gold off of him and went back to sit at her desk. She opened her laptop once more, a random video explaining the three stages of death continued playing, he blinked at her. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIztzRxnF1x
"Why are you watching a video about the three stage of death?" He asked, looking over her shoulder, she looked up at him and shrugged. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzZNKr3Sgi
"Sounded interesting, I just wanted to see what it was all about. It's really cool if you pay attention to the detail."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YEBCON5mK
Cassian nodded, grimacing at the blood pooling part. He reached out and paused the video himself gagging at the diagram. He closed the laptop lid, and sighed. Emery turned around in her chair and faced him. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSM4hrBV88
"Okay sorry about that."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡive7VlQGAJ
"It's fine... What was so important anyway?" He asked, sitting on her bed. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSea2aXXsJR
"Oh right, nearly forgot," she paused. "Is it possible for you to I don't know, attend this party with me?"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiOt7bH6YW
"And what kind of party are we talking about, exactly?" He asked, leaning forward his arms resting on his thighs. She fidgeted with her fingers, looking away. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXVUxrtRAe
"It's the Summer Tide party, we celebrate summer solstice, and I didn't know if I should go or not." 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWk27GQLlN
Cassian smiled, chuckling softly. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqdiDfWIFk
"Little ghost, we're fake dating now. For the sake of all this, I'll go with you. That's what fake boyfriends and actual boyfriends are for no? When is it?"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqo6BaswDe
"Next week, on Saturday. Around seven." She said, looking at him. He nodded, taking a mental note. He stood up, and stretched.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaN7SQSbMi
"Then it's settled, I'll pick you up around six-forty, deal?" 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwCm70LQgq
She nodded, he walked over to her looking down at her as she looked up from where she sat. His hands cradled her face like if he was carrying the dust he left behind every time he came back from the afterlight realm. He smiled, and leaned in kissing her jaw, up to her cheek, then her forehead. Emery's heart fluttered ever so slightly at the way his lips felt on her skin. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1BVkt1qzK
"I better go now, sweet dreams, little ghost." He climbed down out the window, disappearing into the night. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE8cTVftSq
Emery's room looked as if a tornado had passed, dresses everywhere scattered on the floor. Shoes thrown on the bed, her mind spiraling with what to where. She groaned, yelling out. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcCD3rN2G0
"Ugh mom, what's wrong with my clothes!" 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslXEWhxA07
"I don't know, sweetie. You tell me, you picked them out didn't you?" 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N0cFsLwc9
Emery sighed, she grabs the baby blue sundress her mom gave her for her birthday. And put it on, perfect. She quickly grabbed her white lace socks, and Mary J's. She quickly added final touches to her hair and makeup and smiled at herself in the mirror. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iqushVgCQ
"Oh, who's that bad bitch I see? Yeah that's me." She said, posing like a Zara model when the doorbell rang. She ran downstairs, grabbing her already made purse and opened the door. Cassian stood there, a soft smile appearing on his face. He looked effortlessly good tonight, which made Emery rethink he life choices for once. Maybe it was the way his flannel sleeves were rolled up right above his elbows, or the way his hair was still slightly wet. Or the smell of spare wood and rain all at once. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMTJiKkbfb
"Well, little ghost. Seems as if you went all out for tonight. You look great." He said, grabbing her hand. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRBoUUGvH8
"You look great yourself." 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEWRwnci4X
"I know I do, shall we?" He said, Emery's mom yelled goodbye while closing the door. He opened the door for Emery, as she climbed inside the car. He got in, and started driving. The moment they arrived it was like they entered Wonderland. He parked near the coffee shop, and helped her out of the car. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ43AZeW33
"Where to start first?" She said, already eyeing the bracelet booth. Cassian smiled. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393xWroqUU
"Maybe at that booth you keep looking at, silly." He said, as they started walking. The night went by in a blur, stolen laughs, jokes, and the mist watching it all. Maybe Cassian didn't feel it, but Emery surely did. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSMYLPdcnr
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqlxBG0Rt
Her heart raced when he got a little too close, or when he leaned in to whisper in her ear if the music was too loud to hear anything really. Or how he was holding her right now, through this dance she begged to join. Their faces were so close it hurt, because she knew nothing else could be done. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbNW2WQXw
"You look beautiful under the lanterns you know that?" Cassian whispered, staring into her eyes. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBBuYq9J1y
"That's sweet of you. Don't you think we're a little bit too close for a fake couple?"6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqus5nACizi
"What, does it bother you having me this close." He mumbled, and she swore his eyes went to her lips. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNWEfsr6xW
"W-what, I never said that-" She stammered. He laughed, his arms wrapping around her waist. She gasped. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzK8FuoPEf
"Well sort of sounds like it, by the way. Wanna get Funnel cake? Or something to drink?" He asked, moving away from her as the song ended. She nearly cursed at the coldness she felt when his body moved away. She nodded. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVTpr9wY6M
"Yeah sure, I don't mind. As long as it's not pink lemonade that shit is nasty as hell." She said, walking in time with him. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXHQJ2qEnk
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX7VdTe3NG
Her mind kept spiraling to the dance, his eyes on her lips. She shouldn't trust him, he told her that from day one. But it was impossible when he was acting like nothing ever actually happened, or like he didn't notice how she tried not to smile to hard at something totally stupid he said. The moment to finally light up the candles and place them around the fountain finally came. The whole square lit up, and the night ended. Cassian took her back home, as they had a little planning time in the car on the way there. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd52b85Pzd3
He walked her to the front door, and stood behind her on the porch. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSY9RT1Ol6
"Thanks, Cassian. For tonight, it meant a lot to me to spend it with you." She said, reaching for the doorknob, but his hand reached her wrist first. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMdoYVicx
"Wait before you go, I bought you this while you were buying us water." He pulled out a silver necklace with a small crescent moon on it. She smiled. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil7kev1vIc
"You shouldn't have." 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUyRWpuHyc
"But I did." He turned her around, moving her hair out of the way and placed the necklace on her. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw2Z9EFvJ2
"Thanks, Cassian. Again." And before she entered, she moved up a bit on her tip-toes and kissed his cheek, or maybe the corner of his mouth. But whatever it was, she did it. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6DrgszURz
"Sweet dreams, love." He said, as she smiled and entered. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKjmISG5nD
"You too," She whispered, closing the door. And maybe just maybe those strings were stating to thread, because tonight was a night to remember. 6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ64kUnF7ze
