Capítulo 198: Mr Wayne
We all quickly turned around making it look like we were heading back to Jay's home town. "Hello, travellers!" Mr Wayne yelled out making us all look back.
"Hi!" We all answered back waving.
"Nice to meet you all! I'm Mr Wayne." He smiled pulling his caravan to a stop when he reached us.
"Hi!" I replied with a smile introducing everyone to him.
"So what bring you this way?" Helen politely asked.
"Ohhh I'm heading to Thralkeld have a business there I bring stock by every week, " He smiled.
"Ohh same as us! we were visiting over the weekend but we spent the morning exploring the surrounding area a little." I answered.
"Make sure you guys be careful there has been an increase in bandit and unchivalrous behaviour recently." He warned us.
"Isn't it a bit dangerous for you to be all alone?" I questioned.
"Ah, being wealthy and well known has its perks." He smiled but deep down I knew he was fully capable of defending himself.
"Nothing we can't handle, we're Atlantis students," I replied with a smile known that he's Paul and that he already knows.
"Ohhh Atlantis students? I know a few Atlantis students myself." He smiled.
"Anyone we might know?" I played along with his deception.
"Sorry I can't really reveal my clients, they'd like to keep their identity quiet." He answered.
"So is your business a bakery?" I questioned.
"Why yes, it is how did you know?" He asked a little shocked.
"Ohh just looks like you have flour and honey and other ingredients needed for baking," I explained noticing the goods he was travelling with.
"Nice eye, are you a baker yourself?" He questioned impressed at my observation skills.
"I dabble here and there." I smiled.
"So you all on your way back to Thralkeld?" Mr Wayne asked us.
"Yeah we're heading back to the Carvell Bakery, Jay is their son," I informed him.
"Oh so you're the infamous Jay, I have never seen parents so proud of their son." Mr Wayne smiled.
"Can we catch a ride back?" I requested politely.
"Sure hop in if you can find a room, just find something comfortable to sit on." Mr Wayne smiled giving us permission.
"Can I ride in front with you?" I questioned.
"Ummm sure." He hesitantly replied shuffling to one side allowing me to hop on.
"Hey, I know it's you, Paul," I whispered to him with a giant smile sitting beside him, making him look at me in complete shock.
"Umm, I have no idea who this 'Paul' you're talking about." He replied to me looking onwards towards the road. "You guys in the back ready?" He shouted back to everyone.
"Sure you don't." I whispered with a smile, "Thank you for helping Jay." I said quietly as everyone shouted they were ready to go.
"So you taught Jay's parents how to bake?" I questioned as the caravan began to move.
"Umm yeah." He hesitantly replied.
"So what is it that you do exactly with the homeless children you take away?" I questioned curiously.
"I take those who are willing to help themselves to a special orphanage." He answered.
"Special Orphanage?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, it's a far journey, in a newly formed city on another continent. rest assured they will be looked after and allowed to follow their dreams." He smiled making me feel extremely relieved.
"It's good that you have a kind heart." I smiled gleefully.
"He's a great person," He replied still going along with the ruse.
"You could have picked a better name then Mr Wayne, don't tell me your first name is Bruce as well?" I chuckled.
"Funnily enough I wasn't born with that name, but yes I am Bruce Jason Wayne."
"Wow,, you couldn't make it any more obvious." I chuckled at his choice of name.
"What's wrong with it?" He questioned like he didn't know the name is a very well known superhero billionaire.
"I get it." I laughed realizing that Helen and Grace have an extraordinary hearing as we made out way back to Thralkeld.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you all gonna help me with my stock?" Mr Wayne looked back asking everyone.
"Sure!" Daisy yelled out loud as we neared the Carvell's bakery.
"Ohh hi kids! didn't know you all were friends with Mr Wayne as well!" Miss Carvell waved greeting all of us.
"We just happened to cross the path and I offered them a lift." Mr Wayne answered her as we came to a stop.
"Woah you're a strong lass." Mr Carvell marvelled in awe seeing Daisy effortlessly carry two large barrels effortlessly into the shop.
"Yeah, she's super strong." Grace chuckled.
"Let's help." Helen nudged Morgana and morphed into a big gorilla effortlessly helping with moving the heavy good.
"Sure." Morgana replied copying her morphing into a gorilla.
"Woah." Mr Carvell looked at them both in shock.
"Nothing to worry about, they are still themselves they aren't wild at all, although they can't talk anymore." Grace smiled grabbing some lighter things to help take them in.
Miss Carvel came running towards me and quickly turned me around facing opposite to everyone else, "What do you think about Mr Wayne? He's nice, isn't he? Do you want me to start things off?" She questioned eagerly.
"No no you don't need to." I instantly replied.
"Nonsense, it's nothing." She smiled reading my response in the totally wrong way.
"Mr Wayne, you're not currently seeing anyone right?" Miss Carvell instantly asked dragging me towards him.
"Umm not currently but I'm not interested in starting a relationship with someone currently." He answered scratching the back of his head.
"Well, there's no harm in just talking." She said pushing me towards him.
"Umm, I don't think she's my type." He insisted.
"Not your type? She's strong, smart, a sorcerer, she is also an amazing cook." She smiled introducing me like a proud mother.
"Yeah, I'm not really interested in finding someone right now," I confessed.
"Nonsense, I'll help the other restocking you and Mr Wayne have some time to get along." Miss Carvell insisted pushing us away leaving us alone and went to help the other restocking the bakery.
"So, it's good to see you've recovered," I said sitting on a nearby low wall.
"What do you mean?" He questioned a little confused standing for a a bit then eventually took a seat next to me.
"You don't need to carry on pretending it's just us," I replied still shocked he staying in character.
"I'm honestly not Paul." He tried to persuade me.
"Okay," I answered knowing what he's up to. "So tell me about yourself." I smiled finding the roleplaying kinda a little fun.
"There's not much to tell, I'm just a trader that travels the land buying and selling goods and setting up a business." He answered sounding honest.
"But you help people like the orphanage," I questioned.
"Ohh yeah, that's a personal request from a client." He answered, "So how about you what's your obsession with Paul?" He questioned.
"It's hard to explain, just after seeing him again after all this time made me realised how much I missed his company," I answered playing along with his game.
"Does he know?" He questioned curiously.
"I think he does but he's always been very reserved, he was never the confident type when it came to these things funnily enough." I chuckled.
"Well if I was you, I'd just tell him to make sure he knows." He said giving me a hint.
"Something bold?" I questioned finding the idea a little exciting.
"If that's your style he answered.
"Hmmm I'm not really one for bold gesture myself," I replied ready to surprise him.
"It's not always about bold gestures and things if he's the same Paul we're talking about then he's pretty oblivious to those things." He chuckled.
"Ohh I get it." I smiled looking around making sure no one else was watching, my heart was pounding like it wanted to burst out my chest as I leaned in and pulled him closer to kiss him. It felt perfect like the stars were finally aligned, all those reignited feelings finally being out in the open.
