Madam Puddifoot's

Amy thought about it, liking the feeling of being wanted by someone other then her family, mainly Aiden.

"Alight, we have a second date, although between you and me I have gone out with you again any way" she said with a smile.

Nicolas felt a rush of happiness when he heard Amy say that.

Did that mean she was giving him a genuine chance and not just doing it for curiousity?

Nicolas bowed and smiled. "Ah, it warms my heart to hear you say so."

"Hey, most guys have turned and run away by now, you have a record, first one to complete one date... well sort of.. and want to go on a second one"

She brought her lips to his ear and whispered, "and for that I thank you"

"No need to thank me Amy, I haven't done anyting." Nicolas held her hand and kissed the back of it.

Amy smiled, "Yes you have"

Nicolas waved his wand and a single red rose appeared.

Amy blinked at the rose, she loved roses, they were her favorite flowers, looked and smelled beautiful but had thorns to protect them selves, the perfect flower in her opinion.

"It's beautiful" she whispered.

"Beautiful yes.," Nicolas said. " But not as beautiful as you."

(lol corny.)

((Some how I know he would say that lol))

Amy blushed, "What? but I...err.. I am not....I"

What was the matter with her?

"err do..do you mean that?" still blushing as red as the rose.

((i know! Nick's so predictable XD))

"It is only on rare occasions that I say things I do not mean." Nicolas said seriously. "This is not one of them."

Amy lowered her head, this was so weird, and strange yet she liked it.

"Err well I... I umm thank you.... your arn't bad looking your self"

Nicolas smiled at her flattery. Then Nicolas closed the space between them. He was obviously going for a kiss.

Aiden walked out and his jaw dropped, Nick was going in for the kill... kiss.

"Hey, lips off my sister Casillas..."

Amy turned, moment was ruined but she glared at her brother. Muttered the Langlock curse on him.

Then turning back to Nick she kissed him quickly on the lips and smirked at her brother who was still glaring at her and Nick un able to speak.

(Ha!)

Nicolas beamed at Amy. "Wow," he said.

He then turned to Aiden and smirked, "Well I suppose that's my cue to go. See you around."

Aiden looked as if he was about to run after him but Amy was on it.

"Don't even Think about it"

She said with her wand pointed at his temple.

'Brother dear, you have hell to pay"

((later on))

Darien stood quietly in the dark area at the back of the cafe.
Waiting was not something he was particularly good at, as it required patience.
And a gnawing guilt was tearing at his insides, which didn't help.
He stood, waiting and trying to remain unnoticed.

Diana if she hadn't been looking for Darien, she'd never would have spotted him. As it were, she was looking for some answers.

"Darien." She said none-too-pleased.

Darien noticed the unhappy tone and wondered what he'd done...

"Diana...What did I do?" His tone was resigned. He had an idea, and he was going to kill Ana next time he saw her if it was true.

"I'd like you to tell me, how your sister," Diana said her voice raising in volume. "got this!" She showed him her locket.

Darien closed his eyes and his shoulders slumped.
"I know. I'm a complete git. I just...She's always got a plan, and I needed to stop the engagment...But I shouldn't have, I know."
He ran a hand over her eyes.
"I was going to get it back, but I doubt that matters now." He scuffed his feet on the floor.
"I...I never...I-" He sighed. "I never meant to...I didn't...-"

Diana's face softened. Then she shook her head. How weak are you Casillas? Ready to forgive him already?

"You shouldn't have!" She managed to say. "You know what this means to me and my family and my family and I are already on the rocks because of our relationship!"

"I know. I'm an imbecile and I really don't know what you saw in me."
He sat on a stool and sighed.
"Hex me. It'll make you feel better." His tone was defeated and heavy with dread. He knew she was going to dump him, and he didn't blame her in the slightest. He'd ruined her family relationships, and now was a complete imbecile.

Once again Diana felt her anger wash away. He's sorry.

No but he stole from you! A clear violation of your trust!

"I'm not finished," Diana continued. "You stole from me! I trusted you!"

"I know..." Darien stood up and walked over to the nearest wall.
He leant his head back and smacked it into the solid brick a couple of times.
Shaking his head slightly he slumped back down on the stool.
"And now you can hex me."
He picked his wand out of his pocket and dropped it, so it fell with a satisfying crack onto the floor.

Diana sighed. "I don't want to hex you. Well I do but... "
