chapter Eighteen: Cover Story Master ZELDA'S POV: Once the movie had ended Link seemed very excited. "You ready? You're gonna love where we're going for lunch," he smiled. I laughed at smiled at his excitement. "Alright, lead the way, Pretty Boy," I smiled, looking at him. He smiled and we hit the road. "You'll love it! Or at least I hope you will," he laughed, gently brushing his finger across my hand. "If you picked it out, then I'll definitely love it," I replied, looking at him. Before I knew it we'd arrived at a taco place, 'Hestu's Tacos'. "What, how'd you know?! I love this place!" I laughed, looping my arm through his. He smiled, "Told you you'd like it!" We walked inside, and Link went to order. I sat down at a small table and saw my Mom with some of her coworkers. 'Crap! She's gonna see me! She's gonna see the-' "Zelda! What are you doing here?" she asked, smiling as she walked over. I quickly covered my left hand as she sat down. "So? Why you here? Wait are you on a date?!" she asked, grabbing my left hand. My face got red as she gasped. "He proposed?!" she screamed. I looked over and saw Link, his brow raised as he was filling up water cups. I sighed, "Did you have to scream?" "Sorry, hon, just very happy for you," she replied. Link then turned and saw my Mom. I signaled for him to walk over and he did so. He set the cups down and sat next to me, putting his arm around me. "So this is the police officer? Purah was texting me." Mom smiled. 'Of course Purah texted her,' I thought. "Weird, I'd never thought I'd see a police officer with a school teacher," Mom smiled. Link glanced at me and he understood. "Yeah, well, we had to show up 'causes an idiot kid pulled the alarm. My squad was doing a check around the school when another kid pulled a firearm on her and shot her arm, officers caught the kid and I helped her...then she asked for my number," Link smirked, looking at me. I smiled, "You're welcome, you never would have asked for my number, Pretty Boy." Link laughed, "True." Mom smiled and her group was leaving. "Well I'll let you get back to your date. Bye," Mom whispered, walking back to her group. "How did you come up with that cover story?!" I asked, in a hushed voice. Link smiled, "You're not the only one with secrets." I rolled my eyes, "Are you telling me that actually happened and you got a teachers number?" Link smiled, nodding. I playfully punched him and laughed. "That's insane!" I laughed. He nodded. "Anyway, why does your Mom think you're a school teacher?" Link asked. I sighed, "I don't want her to worry. Being an agent is dangerous, she'd...go insane and force me to quit, when I'm so close." "So close to what?" he asked. I got red and put my hands on the table. "S-sorry! You don't have to answer!" Link quickly stuttered. I smiled at him. "No, it's fine," I replied, gently putting my hand on his, "It's time I tell you the truth, why that man is after me."
