Nya cleared her throat loudly, which made Zayon jump.
"Oh! Sorry, I just got lost in thought." Zayon muttered. He then looked in Nya's eyes. "Of course I trust you."
Nya smiled. "I knew you did."
Zayon exhaled out of his nose. "I made reservations at Marché Bacchus." He informed Nya. "We're going at eight."
"What about Jayden and Raegan?" Nya questioned.
"I can pay for a babysitter." Zayon told her.
"Perfect, I'll go get ready now!" Nya beamed.
"Now?" Zayon asked, surprised. "It's like, six. You need two hours to get ready?"
"Of course, I have to shower, shave, do my hair, my makeup, get my outfit ready,..."
Zayon smiled and nodded, trying not to look bored. Nya kept blabbering about what she needed to do to get ready for this date.
"Then I have to wear perfume, and I'm done!"
"Wow, that's amazing." Said someone named Zayon, who didn't find it amazing at all.
"I know right? I'm going to get ready now." Nya hurriedly headed for the bathroom closest to her so she could shower.
Zayon sighed and walked over to another bathroom to shower there. The fact that Nya's gifts magically vanished was such a stupefying mystery. How come his tuxedo and goods from the flower shop were still intact but Nya's dress and accessories weren't? He splattered some soap on his bath sponge and started to rub it on his body. This was so confusing...

Zayon, the man who had on an expensive and nice tuxedo was waiting for Nya on the living room couch, which was what he was doing for a long time now, about an hour.
𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺? 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳.
Zayon stood up from the couch and walked over to the bathroom Nya was located in. He was about to open the door when he heard voices.
𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘕𝘺𝘢. Zayon thought, confused. No one entered the house after Blake left, so what was all this noise? 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵, 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨.
"I have a really big surprise for you, Nya, I can't wait for you to see it!" A voice beamed ecstatically.
Zayon's eyebrows furrowed. Why was the voice talking to his wife?
"I can't wait to see it, too!" A voice that sounded like Nya's smiled. "I think it's gonna be one of the pearl bracelets you always used to give me as a kid."
Zayon wanted to bust through the door and tackle his wife, but he wanted this date more, so he managed not to start an argument.
"It's way bigger and better than that." The voice told Nya.
"Oh my God, Blake, just tell me!"
Zayon's eyes went enormous in shock. Blake? Again?! Zayon thought that he had already told Blake to back off. Blake needed to find another woman to mess around with because Zayon's wife was strictly off limits!
"Hah, I can't tell you. You'll find out sooner or later, whenever I get the chance." Blake stated.
"Ugh, Blake, you're so annoying!" Nya said teasingly. "But I love how you always give me gifts, just like you used to, you're literally the sweetest."
Zayon almost screamed in shock. What?!
𝘈𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. Zayon thought. He kept listening closely.
"Heh, am I really?" Blake grinned.
"Of course! Have you ever heard me say that to anyone else?"
How could Nya repeat what she had said to Zayon, to Blake, word-for-word?! This time, Zayon actually screamed in shock.
He heard something fall as the ground below him shook a bit while loud stomping could be heard.
"Fuck!" Nya cursed. She then stood up. "Zayon? Are you okay?"
Zayon's stomach was churning in fear that Nya would find out that he'd been listening to her conversation.
"Um, yeah, just a mosquito!"
He heard Nya laugh loudly. "You're so scared of mosquitoes."
"Um, hello?" Someone, probably Blake said.
"Oh, yeah! I need to hang up right now, I'm in a hurry, bye!" Nya rapidly pressed a button on her phone and placed it on the sink. She grabbed her makeup bag and started to do her makeup.
Meanwhile, Zayon's heart was pumping more faster and speedier with jumbled emotions by the second.

Zayon rapidly ran to Nya's room. He needed to find something that could help him to see if Nya and Blake were dating, or at least if they were seeing each other. And what were these "presents" Blake was giving to his wife? He needed to find out.
Zayon got to Nya's room and dug around in her drawers. Just clothes. He looked under her bed. Just empty chip bags and candy bar wrappers, which was absolute ew to Zayon. He looked on her vanity. Just a few makeup supplies. He checked the drawers of the vanity. Just even more makeup supplies. He dug in a black, snake-skinned purse that Nya used very frequently. Bingo! Hidden in a small pocket on the side of the purse was a pearl bracelet with a note attached to it. Zayon was about to read it when-
"Zayon! Can you give me my strawberry lip gloss? It's on my vanity!"
Zayon flinched, thinking that Nya was right at the door, watching him flip her room upside-down looking for anything about Blake. Good thing she wasn't here, because Zayon had made her room a complete mess by pulling items out of her drawers to see if he was any closer to finding out something about Blake.
Zayon put the note on Nya's bed and scrambled to take Nya's lip gloss from her vanity. He ran to where Nya was located and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Nya and her hair wrapped in a towel, extending her hand to take her lip gloss.
"Thank you for bringing it!" She told Zayon with a cheery smile while taking the lip gloss from him.
"N-no problem." He mumbled.
Zayon zoomed back to Nya's room, curious to read the note. What could possibly be written on that piece of paper?
When Zayon reached Nya's room, he took the note from her bed and read it silently.

Zayon stared at the note in absolute shock. Goodness, Blake was just obsessed with Nya! Zayon could never let Nya see the note, so he ripped it up into small, tiny pieces, walked to the bathroom nearest to him, excluding the one Nya was doing her makeup inside, and soaked the note under running water.
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. Zayon thought. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦!
He walked back to Nya's room and took the pearl bracelet.

He left the messy bedroom and headed for the living room. There, he saw Nya looking beautiful as ever.
"I'm ready to go on our date!" She smiled.
