Sundae Cherry Red

(Eddie's POV)

Why is he being so nice to me? More importantly why am I being so nice to him? Whatever, I guess I'm just... enjoying his company or whatever.

We sat down at a both and the waitress came over.

"Do you know what you two gentleman will be having this evening?"

"I will take a cookie dough sundae with caramel instead of fudge." Richie ordered.

"Whip cream?"

"Yes please." Rich responded.

"And what will you be having young sir?" The waitress turn to me but before I had time to answer, Richie spoke up.

"He will have a strawberry ice cream in a cone with the chucks of strawberry in it, in a sugar cone. Oh and if you can, make the bottom of the sugar cone filled with chocolate." Richie smirked at me.

"Okie dokie." The waitress walked away.

I was at a loss for words... how did he know my fucking ice cream order? And why did he pay for it?

"How did you know?" I questioned.

"Because on friday when school serves dessert you get picky about the order and I just observe." Richie laughed.

"I can't believe you did that..." I said in a soothing voice.

"Yeah well... it's no big deal." He shook it off.

It was a very big deal, at least to me. All of my life no one has been as attentive of me as Richie has in the last day. His letterman jacket smells like a faint hint of cologne and new leather. His dark brown eyes glistened with curiosity. His dark brownish black curly hair looked so soft I would give anything to run my hand through it. But I suppose the best thing is the way his hands move when he's nervous. Like right now he is nervous and he is fiddling with a straw wrapper.

I smiled.

"What?" Richie asked.

"Nothing..."

A silent pause.

"Its just that it is a big deal. No one has ever paid attention to me the way that you do and we've only known each other.. what... a day? Richie it's a huge deal." I looked at him with soft eyes.

Then his cheeks turned sundae cherry red and he smiled just enough to make me blush.

Then the ice cream came.

After a little while I looked out the window and didn't notice that Richie took a bite of my ice cream.

He laughed so hard at my shocked face.

So I reached across the table, grabbed his sundae, and took a bigger bite out of his than he did of mine.

"Already trying to swap spit with me huh Eds?" He smiled.

"YOU ATE MY ICE CREAM FIRST!" I hollered.

We both laughed until our stomachs were rock solid.
