Maya's POV
It was really easy to go mental , cause I thought I've actually ran mad. I perfectly knew coffee wasn't chocolate and Niklaus didn't hit me as someone who enjoys sweetened stuffs but the amount of bitterness I tasted in that coffee would never be forgotten till the day I die.
It was so bitter to the point it stung my tongue and irritated the inside of my mouth.I coughed and retched until my voice went hoarse but I could still collect bitter saliva in my mouth.
Suddenly, I felt an arm snake around my waist and was turned towards a body. Nik lifted my chin and said to me "Open up " but I gave him a questioning look.
"Salt will cut the bitterness " He said to me before I opened my mouth and he dropped a two-fingered pinch of salt into my mouth
Few minutes later, I found myself on the sofa in the living room sucking on a swirly rainbow lollipop like a five-year old while glaring daggers at Izzy who didn't look bothered by the way.
