The Indefinite Choice

Chapter 5

"Is that an ice cream shop over there?". I asked Regina as head to her car after our lunch.

"Yes." She answers flippantly.

"Can we get ice cream?". I asked while she was opening the driver's seat.

"No."

"Please? Pretty please?". I asked like a kid.

I saw her rolled her eyes at me and then closed her car door.

"Fine. Just this once." She says and walked across the street to the ice cream shop.

The slight chime of the door alerted the guy who was sitting behind the counter. He looked us at smiled nervously.

"Good after noon Madame Mayor. Ice cream?". The guy asked with a slight flinch.

"Shame if I came here to get nails and hammer, wouldn't it?". Regina snarkily said and the guys ears started to turn red.

"Sure Madame Mayor. What flavor would you like?". He asks and shrugged of Regina's mean attitude.

"Chocolate." Regina says and the guy immediately scooped her some chocolate flavored ice cream and put it on the cone.

He handed the cone to Regina and she did not accept it until she did that fucking eyeroll again.

"Hi, which flavor do you like?". The guy said and smiled at me.

"Uhm yeah, is it okay if you scoop each flavor and pile them up on the cone?".

"Sure!". The guy nodded, "All of these flavours?".

"As much as I'd love to, I can only eat fast enough for six scopes until they're all melted on my hand."

The guys laughed and I looked at Regina to see if I get some reaction out of her because of what I said. And of course, Regina is busy eating or so I say, licking her ice cream. I gulped and looked at the guy once again.

"Yeah so, I want- cheese, chocolate,strawberry, coconut, vanilla and rocky road." I said.

The guy giddily scooped the falvors I asked, "Then an extra coffee flavor for our new resident."

"Oh, thank you!". I laughed and accepted it.

I started licking my ice-cream and also watching Regina trying her best to stop all the ice cream melting down to her hand. I looked at the guy again and he was watching Regina too. He caught me looking at her and he looked down only to blush.

"Uhm- Regina..." I say and tilted my head to the guy.

"Oh," she says and smacked her lips together. "Get my purse darling."

I frowned at the endearment Regina used but I shrugged it off because she seemed so engrossed in licking her ice cream. She held her ice cream on the other hand while sliding her bag to her other hand and gave it to me.

"What colour is it?". I ask.

"The red one, dear." She says and just walked out the store.

"Uhm yeah okay. Hey man, could you hold my ice-cream for a minute?". I asked the guy and he happily took the ice cream from me.

"The mayor only comes here once a month. Sometimes it's David. You look so much like him by the way." The ice cream guy says.

I finally fished out the money out of her red purse and put it back. I smiled at the guy but I didn't give Regina's bag back. "Keep the change."

Regina didn't seem to mind because she's still happily licking her now melting ice cream. I nodded at the guy and before I could ask Regina if we could leave, she was already pushing the door to walke out while still licking her ice cream.
