My first date (2)

"Oh my my! Don't be shy, look at your boyfriend. He is so shy, yet he still wants to hold your hand!"

I wanted to confirm stuff, afraid that Mason might get upset because people got the wrong idea. I remembered that he never liked to get paired with a girl in his previous life. 

"We're not—"

"It's okay. She's just nervous…" Mason said with a thin, shy smile. 

I gawked at his response, but the old lady continued her chatter with Mason instead. So I didn't have a proper time to respond to his claim. 

"Ahahaha! It's okay! There are shy girls like that!" The old lady said. She turned around and checked on her own display cake, "Since you two look so sweet together, how about that sweet mellow pumpkin cake?" 

The old lady pointed at an orange cute with cute maple leaves decoration. Of course, everything was edible.
