" Sugar free Vanilla ? That's what you're set on? All these delicious flavors and you chose that?" Samantha judges how Adam walks past all the topping to go straight to the register and puts his cup on the measuring scale.
She shakes her head in disbelief. Not one single popping Boba, no animal crackers, no gummies, no chocolate chips touched his dessert. Bare and naked Froyo.
"You're definitely the type of guy who someone would make a documentary about, but for all the wrong reasons. " She jokes around.
Adam raises his brow upon hearing the joke. He frowns at the comment thinking back to every ex girlfriend who's called him a psycho or serial killer immediately.
"Okay.." he answered passive.
"I'm joking Adam..."
He doesn't give any other response and waits at the register as she drowns her froyo with toppings of course. She adds slice glazed strawberries , toffee and caramel sauce to her obvious non alcohol bourbon flavored froyo.
She catches a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye, tapping his fingers on the counter while staring at her pouring a thick layer of caramel sauce in her cup.
He's so quiet now. I've never seen him tense. He probably thinks I'm a pig.
After she's done making her delicious masterpiece she gets in line behind him.
Adam turns around and puts his hand out at her.
"Your cup. " he states.
He had his debit card in his other hand, waiting to pay for her dessert too.Samantha hands it over to him since he's offering to pay, but seeing the price go from 5.32 to 15.86, made her feel like shit for how much her food was compared to his.
He puts his chip in the machine and the transaction is approved.
"Thank you Adam, I'll pay you back." She pleas.He hands her back the cup.
"Don't worry about it." He says monotone, completely tuned out and thinking about something else."What's wrong Adam? We came here to vent. You're so quite .Talk to me." She say stern. Grabbing a spoon and sticking it in her froyo.
He heavily sighed and shut his eyes painfully hard.
"It's this fucking relationship I'm in, or the illusion of one? It's driving me insane. She draining me, she's this--succabus that I care deeply for. But shes killing me you know? I'm mentally exhausted Samantha." He spills his frustration out to her.
The way he described her as a succabus, was quite alarming.Maybe she wasn't the free spirited hippy type she imagined Astrid as. To be called a seductive demon who slept with men! Weakening them to a point of death, is telling.
