Parallel || Short story

Will this be the last?

Having their orders didn't actually took a while. The service was fast enough as both girls are really hungry at the moment.

However, Jiu still feels utterly surprised due to the fact that almost all of her favorites are being served today.

"Oh, this one's my favorite meat meal!" Jiu happily exclaimed as she point the steaks that Sua ordered for the both of them.

Sua smiled even more when she heard that wonderful tone of happiness from Jiu.

"Thank you for the food!" They said in unison which made them giggle.

"What do you want to do after this?" Sua asked Jiu who's taking big bites of the steak.

"Aren't you the one who's supposed to think about that? You took me out on a date" Jiu replied. Playing coy to Sua, feeling confident and comfortable around the girl who's in front of her.

"Wow, I guess you're Ms. Confident now" Sua said, cutting out the steak into pieces before eating it every once in a while.

"Bumper cars seems fun" Jiu mentioned, reminiscing the moments that she had with her parents on that ride.

"Sure let's try that. But, hey we can also try the ferris wheel later on! I heard that there are great fireworks display at night" Sua energetically suggested as she remember about what her sister told about it since she went there 3 days ago.

"But--" Jiu was about to answer but Sua stuffed a steak on Jiu's mouth, preventing her to speak further as she says

"No more buts! It will be fun"

Jiu on the other hand just rolled her eye and continue to eat. What else can she do? She can't beat Sua's energy so she had no choice but to agree to it. Besides, she haven't rode a ferris wheel before. Maybe it will be fun right?

"Can I get an ice cream?" Jiu asked Sua like a 5 year old child.

"No" Sua firmly said as she continue to eat.

"Eh? Why?" Jiu asked, protesting.

"It will melt! And you're already eating a lot today, aren't you full yet?! Go ahead and eat your lunch for now" Sua answered while frowning which made Jiu frown as well and left her no choice but to eat.

"You're lucky that the steak was good." Jiu said, referring to Sua who should be thankful because if the steak isn't great, she would freak out for not having an ice cream.

Sua then scoffed as she looked at Jiu and said "Huh. What are you? A 3 year old kid?"

Jiu, not being hesitant, just answered "Yes" with a pleading puppy eyes which made Sua feel flustered on the inside. So she have not managed to reply and just continued to eat. However, the other girl just couldn't help but to giggle and laugh because she have thought that teasing Sua is far more effective now than earlier.

After the meal, they got out of the restaurant and so Sua clung on to Jiu's arms immediately, confessing that "Their ice cream is so expensive, I don't have any money for that. Also, I have tried it before, it tastes awful, makes me wanna puke", and Jiu couldn't help but to burst out her laughter, causing her to hold her stomach as she felt it contracting for a bit.

"You could've just told me that earlier!" Jiu said amidst her laughter. But, however was answered back by Sua by saying "Huh? You wouldn't want the staff to take us out of there right? Knowing that their ice cream isn't good. It tasted like Shrek, honestly"

And that, cracked up Jiu even more. Sua, found the situation funny later on and proceeded to smile as she have realized that she's making Jiu so much happier right now compared to what she was before.
