was playing near and recognized that it was not the optimal area to conduct the moon walk.”
                  “Well you are just perfect aren’t you?’
                  “I like to think so…come on MJ, let’s go get one of those infamous cupcakes you were talking about. My treat and don’t sass me about it. It is the least I can do after you gave me such a great memory to laugh at for years to come.”
                  “I’m so glad I was able to entertain you.” Patty said still embarrassed.
                  “Don’t sweat it Patty Cakes only a couple of dozen people saw you fall. I think they were more impressed with your flawless transition of throwing your lawn mower dance move into reverse which led straight to the moon walk. That was quite impressive."
                  Patty just shook her head and walked over to the café with Marc after putting the Frisbee in his car. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders while they waited in line and she placed her head on his chest. She didn’t care about the “no touching” rule right now, she just wanted to be comforted for a second.

                  Marc knew his plan to win Patty over was starting to work. She didn’t protest his full on embrace earlier and was now leaning against him in the bakery.
    Like hell he wanted to be just friends with Patty. Oh no if anything after these past couple of weeks of being friends with her he wanted to be with her more than anything. He loved her spirit and her company. She was easy to talk to, joke around with and spend time with. Nothing with her was ever awkward. Everything seemed so natural when it came to them. He only wished that she saw it as well.
                  Marc was hoping that he would be able to be with her soon in a more than friends type way. He wanted to date her, badly. He wanted to make her his and take her off the dating market. He didn’t like that fact that any guy could take her away and sweep her off her feet. He would not allow that.
    No , he was going to win her over slowly but surely. The current moment was a brief glimpse of what he hoped would be their future, holding each other, treating each other out to a sweet and just spending quality time with each other. He knew they were meant to be.
                  They were next in line so he released his arm from her shoulder even though he didn’t want to and he asked her, “What shall I get?”
                  “A cupcake of course.” She said with a smile.
                  “Duh, but what kind? There are so many flavors I don’t know what to choose.”
                  “They are all good, it’s up to you.”
                  The worker over the counter asked what they wanted and before Patty could put in her order Marc said, “We will have one of each and two diet cokes.”
                  Patty looked up at him in shock. “You know there are about a dozen different flavors.”
                  “I know but this way I can try each of them and make an executive decision as to which one is best.”
                  “And you plan on playing a game tonight?”
                  “Yea noting like a massive sugar rush to get you ready. Come on, I saw a tree in the park that we can sit under and have a taste test.”
                  Marc paid at the register grabbed their goodies and led Patty out to the tree stopping at his car first to grab a blanket. He spread the blanket on the ground and helped Patty down. He sat next to her and opened the box of goodies. She was looking at him with a perplexed look.
                  “What?” He asked.
                  She shook her head and went to grab a napkin.
