Chapter 3
One Friday afternoon, Remy was busying himself by reorganizing the pastry case.
Alphabetically.
He’d never been so bored.
As the chimes above the door jingled, he thanked his lucky stars. Sliding the pastry case shut, he turned around to greet the customer.
All the breath was knocked out of his lungs as he saw Emile.
Wearing a skirt.
The blue fabric looked as though it was made of air. It floated as Emile headed to the register, mug in hand.
Remy’s eyes darted to the bracelet so that he wouldn’t be caught staring.
“One hot chocolate?” He asked, not trusting himself to say anything else just yet.
Emile giggled and handed over the mug. “Yes please.”
Remy started on the drink, humming under his breath. He didn’t notice what he’d been humming until he heard Emile gasp.
“Is that Steven Universe?” She whispered, unable to keep the excitement out of her voice.
Blood rushed to Remy’s cheeks as he nodded. “Yeah. You’ve mentioned it a lot, so I figured I should check it out. It’s really good.”
“I’m so glad you like it!” She squealed. Her eyes absolutely lit up as she started to talk. “What episode are you on? I don’t want to spoil anything.”
Remy swirled the whipped cream before handing the drink over. “Episode five was the last one I watched.”
Emile nodded. “Okay, episode five...who’s your favorite character so far?”
“Definitely Amethyst. Her weapon is awesome, and she just doesn’t care what other people think.”
Emile sipped her drink. “Amethyst is amazing.”
“Who’s your favorite?”
She thought for a moment, blowing on her drink. “Hmm...I think Steven.”
Remy smiled. “You remind me of Steven.”
“Thank you!”
Remy propped his chin up on his hand, leaning on the counter. “Actually, you know who you remind me of?”
Emile tilted her head in a silent question.
“Katara.”
A squeal of happiness left Emile’s mouth. She flapped her hands, saying, “I bought this skirt because it reminded me of the water tribe!”
“It’s a beautiful skirt.” Remy turned on his charm. “For a beautiful person.”
Emile smiled, getting up from her seat. “Thank you. Have a nice day!”
“Wait!”
She turned back around.
Remy flushed. “Um, there’s-we’re-tonight is our first open mic night. If you aren’t doing anything...I was hoping you’d come?”
Emile nodded. “That sounds great! I’ll let my afternoon clients know too, I’m sure they’d love to participate!”
With a little wave, she discarded her mug and left. With nothing else to do, Remy went and got the mug, washed it, and returned it to its place.
He headed into the kitchen. Patton was rolling out some dough, with some difficulty with Logan’s arms wrapped around his waist. Logan nuzzled into Patton’s neck, causing the baker to lean into the embrace.
The domestic scene caused another twinge in Remy’s heart. Not wanting to interrupt, he headed back to the front counter, opting to clean it for the fifth time instead.
When his shift ended, he whipped off his apron and darted out of the shop. Tripping over Chai, he quickly fed her before hopping into the shower.
As he toweled off, Chai hopped onto his bed.
“Are you gonna help me pick out a bomb outfit for tonight?” He asked, scritching behind her ears. “It’s the first time I’ll see Emile when I’m not working. I’ve gotta look my best.”
Looking in his closet, Remy’s eyes landed on a simple black tank. Deciding that Emile would probably like him better dressed comfortably, he slipped it on. It was quickly paired with a simple pair of skinny jeans and black ankle boots.
By the time he was completely done, it was just about time to go. He made sure that Chai had her dinner before grabbing his sunglasses and heading out of the house.
He got there at the same time as Logan and Patton.
“You’re here early.” He unlocked the door, a smirk crossing his face. “I don’t suppose a certain someone is coming?”
“Oh, leave him alone.” Patton lightly smacked Logan’s shoulder. “We were the same way.”
“Don’t tell me I’m turning into a useless gay!” Remy cried out, earning a playful glare.
The three of them entered the shop, stopping their conversation to get ready for open mic night.
Patton brought out the final pastries just as it hit six o’clock. The theater troupe entered right on time, chatting easily with the owners.
“Roman!” Remy called out, getting the attention of the blonde.
He strolled over, an easy smile on his face. “I can’t believe you got Logan to let us sing here.”
“I heard that!”
“Love you roomie!” Roman called back. He dropped his voice to a whisper. “I heard you’ve got a special someone coming tonight.”
Remy flushed. “Who told you?”
“Patton.”
Burying his face into his hands, Remy mumbled, “I should never have told them.”
“I’m rooting for ya.” Roman patted him on the shoulder. “I can dedicate something to the two of you if you want.”
“No!” The look on Roman’s face made Remy wince. “I didn’t mean-I just don’t want to scare her off.”
“Can’t wait to meet her.”
Roman headed back to his troupe, leaving Remy waiting near the door.
His heart pounded as time passed and more people filled the cafe.
“Remy!”
He turned and got an armful of Emile. She smiled up at him, making sure to show that her charms hadn’t changed.
“I’m glad you came.”
“Me too!” Emile waved at a few kids in the troupe. “I’ve been to their last four performances, they’re really good!”
Her excitement was contagious. A huge smile flooded Remy’s face. “I saved us some seats.”
“Lead the way.”
Emile followed Remy, giggling when he sat her down in her usual seat at the counter. He held up a finger, disappearing behind the counter for a second.
Her face absolutely lit up when he handed her a hot chocolate made in her favorite mug.
“Remy, you didn’t have to-”
“I wanted to.” He promised, sliding into his seat as the performances started. “On the house.”
“Thank you.”
The two sat in a comfortable silence, watching the performances. The range of songs was all over the place, ranging from Lady Gaga to Johnny Cash.
Two hours later, Roman took the mic.
“First of all, can we get some applause for the gracious employees of this place?” Applause erupted from all corners of the room, putting smiles on their faces. Roman held up a hand and it went silent almost immediately. “Thank all of you for coming. If you want to support this place and have more nights like this, a few cast members will be walking around with tip jars. Donations are completely optional!”
Remy watched in shock as people pulled out fifty dollar bills and stuffed them into the jars.
“I’ll be our closing performer tonight.” Roman shot a wink at Remy. His blood ran cold. “This one goes out to all the lovers out there. If you’re up for it, feel free to dance with your partner.”
“Wise men say…”
Roman’s voice created an atmosphere of romance. Remy saw Logan shyly hold out a hand to Patton, pulling him into a gentle sway when he accepted.
A few other couples joined in before the first chorus.
Taking a deep breath and a leap of faith, Remy turned to Emile. “Would you like to dance?”
A gorgeous pink blush spread across Emile’s cheeks. “Um, actually...I can’t dance. The only thing I know about dancing comes from Steven Universe.”
“When the gems fuse?”
Emile nodded, still avoiding eye contact.
Remy pointed over to Logan and Patton. “It’s completely fine if you don’t want to, but all they’re doing is swaying. We could try that.”
“I’d rather just sit and talk.” She admitted, finally looking at Remy. “I like talking with you.”
“I like talking with you too. That’s why I asked you out.”
Emile froze like a deer in headlights. “Wait - did you mean for this to be a date?”
“Um, kinda?” This was going south fast. “If you don’t want it to be a date, it doesn’t have to be a date. It can just be us hanging out.”
“I’m so sorry.” Tears sprang to her eyes. “If I’d known it was a date - I - ”
Remy reached out, stopping just before he touched her. “Is this okay?”
Getting a nod, he pulled her into a hug. “I should’ve made it more clear. And I should’ve made sure that you were okay with it, that’s my fault.”
“I am.”
Remy blinked, pulling back. “What?”
“I am. Okay with it.” That pretty blush was back. “I just...I would’ve acted differently if I’d known.”
He was stunned and the only thing that left his mouth was, “How?”
“Well, for starters…” She grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers together. “I would’ve told you how handsome you are.”
Remy squeezed her hand, a smile on his face. “So you didn’t notice that I’ve been flirting with you since day one?”
“No.” She laughed, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. “There’s a lot of things that I don’t pick up on.”
“So, now that you know, if I was to ask you out to dinner tomorrow night?” Remy bit his lip.
The soft look on her face filled him with mixed emotions. “I would, but - I’m going to a movie with a friend. But I could ask if she’d mind if you came along! That way she could bring her girlfriend!”
“I don’t want to intrude.”
Emile stopped texting. “We could go out Saturday night then?”
Remy smiled, placing a kiss on her knuckles. “Sounds like a date.”
“A real date.” Emile hesitated for a second before pecking Remy on the cheek. “See you Saturday!”
