Chapter 27: FINALE

I soon realized how interesting the ice cream place looked. The neon lights that dangled around the large windows kind of reminded me about the strip club I used to work in... I didn't want to say it that way but the place really looked good even if I had a few memories that shouldn't be cherished at all. The whole place had lighter shades of colors though because it was still afternoon outside as the same large windows helped the golden sunlight pass through, draping everything in sight. The only thing that differed from the rest of the shop was the red couches that customers sat on.

It was velvet and it was eye-catching. It may also be the reason why she loved this place.

"How do you even eat that without a problem?"

She asks, chuckling to herself as I press my back against her shoulder.

"Why?"
"Half of your body is on top of me!"

She answers jokingly as I shift my body away from her, scratching the back of my head in realization. She suddenly gives me a stare that's filled with nothing but confusion as her brows furrowed, later puffing her cheeks out slowly. I didn't know what to say back because all I could think of was that how she's acting way too adorable right now. She was already beautiful, to begin with, but something about that cute face she's making made her even more irresistible.

"W-What?"

I stammer once more, causing her to tilt her head.

"Well, I didn't say- Nevermind actually... It's too embarrassing."

Shades of pink started appearing on her cheeks as she later focused on eating her ice cream instead of staring at me for long. Soon, I smiled to myself because I realized how she didn't really feel uncomfortable at all. She wants me to sprawl around her and makes her mine while I am hers yet she doesn't want to tell me. Is it because the relationship is still fresh?

I let out a sigh before finally placing the spoon back into my bowl, stretching both of my arms out as I rest my head on top of her collars. I later wrap my arms around her waist, laying almost the rest of my torso down the couch as I look up at her with a smile, feeling the way her breaths quickened.

I didn't care if a bunch of people was staring at us. I've finally escaped the damage he caused and I felt the freedom to be romantic again.

"You like this, don't you?"

I teased, causing her to look away as she obviously tries not to smile.

"... I mean, why not? I'd love to be cuddled up by my favorite person."

She says back, grinning at me proudly.

"... Oh?"

I widened my eyes at her, burying my head down her stomach as I tried not to rest on top of her healing wound. Then, I felt her fingers run through my hair as she started braiding my hair even if there were no hair elastics anywhere. I felt a little embarrassed because we were in public and we were getting a little closer than usual. I'm not used to things like this but this isn't that bad compared to what I've experienced. In fact, I enjoyed every second of this even if I was embarrassed.

I've felt what love is like... but there's something that I might need to still prepare for.

"Hey?"

I call as she turns to look down at me.

"Yes?"
"May I ask you something?"

I get up from my position, holding both of her hands as she tilts her head in confusion.
