Secretly in love

4. It's just a pinched-

The long weekend was well spent together with Ice family. It was a lot of fun being with them, no boring moments because her brother are all funny and goofy, and I literally still wondering where Ice gets her attitude?

"You know, I'm really wondering who's behind Ice fan account. It is somehow amazing but creepy too" Margot stating while checking the page all about Ice photos.

Vero look at me, she knows but it's our little secret.

"But whoever that person is? She's really good at what she does" Margot added before sliding her phone in her jeans pocket "so, how's the weekend?"

I just smiled while sprinkling the basil on top of sardines pasta before closing the plastic lid carefully. I'm gonna go to Ice building to give this her for lunch.

"Lunch at mall I guess?" Carlisle waiting for all of our answers, everyone agrees and now she's just waiting for me "Summer?"

"Sure. I'm just gonna drop this off to Ice building first"

"A for best friend effort" I squinted my eyes looking to Veronica "Medical building is out of the way but who are we to stop you" she added more.

I swear that if they find out my secret I'm gonna put her in garnish.

Margot raise her hands "I'm gonna go with you" we all know that she likes Ice and I admire her for being vocal about it.

"Okay" I smiled then gesture to follow me.

The thing is, even gays like Ice. Who wouldn't?

We drove then parked to the Medical building. Ice isn't only good looking, not only talented but she's a cherry on top because apparently she's also super smart, she's top of her class as an upcoming future surgeon.

Me: where are u?

"Let's wait" I say to Margot who's fixing her makeup.

"How can you say that she's straight?" Margot questioning out of the blue.

I shifted to her, "because she is and I'm her best friend, so I know her so well"

"So you're telling me that Ice just likes wearing clothes like she wants to attract girls? Because, it is damn working"

"Well.....not always in baggy clothes but she also wears crop top but her choice of style doesn't define her gender. She is straight trust me"

"How?"

"Because she likes Jaden okay?" Margot seemed shocked and I was too—because that's supposed to be a secret.

As I've said before, Ice is really a private person.

"Did she tell it? Like verbally?"

Ugh. Now I'm stuck to explaining or Margot will spill it everywhere.

"This is supposed to be a secret. Promise you won't tell Margot" I warned. She nodded and acting like zipping her mouth "Not totally verbal. You know Ice. But I caught her red handed"

"How?" She ask with her forehead creasing.

I shifted to fully face Margot then look straight in her eye.

"I noticed Ice shifting her mood whenever I mentioned Jaden. I also caught her staring to Jaden, like many times. So, I asked her one time"

—-Flashback.

I've been staring at Ice, watching her carefully as her attention was on Jaden walking away from us.

"Can I ask you something?" I said after collecting the courage.

She turned to me and I assessed her facial expression.

"I want you to be honest Ice"

For the first time, there's a little glimpse of her being nervous and it only proves my hunch.

Actually, it hurts. It hurt watching her being affected.

"Whenever I'm with Jaden, I saw you, I noticed you, the way you move, your reaction, your facial expression, your body language" she held her breath, shit, she's really affected.

"Summy...I—" I cut her off.

"I know Ice...and it's okay. I'm your best friend remember?" So this is how it feels huh? When you witness your best friend whom you secretly love for almost 8 years now falling in love to someone.

I nodded, chewed my lower lip for second and still gauging her eyes before saying "You like Jaden"

——End of flashback.

"Oh my gosh" Margot leaned and watching her heaving a deep sighed while staring in front "Those two developed feelings. I mean, they're always paired up, always teased, of course they eventually figured it out"

I look down to the pasta then adding "and they had a night date before the long weekend"

"Oh shit"

"Yeah" why am I sounding disappointed?

"It's okay, Ice is just my happy crush anyways" Margot cheered up.

Ice 💙: what are u doing here?

I checked her message before lifting my gaze and immediately saw her already walking in our car.

My heart always flutters whenever I see her.

"Hi" I say after rolling down the window.

"Hello Ice!" Margot leaning forward and waving at Ice.

Then it sinks in, it's odd of why she's in the parking lot at this time?

And the question was answered when Jaden parked his car beside me "Ice, sorry did I made you wait? I brought our lunch" he says, lifting the lunch container.

Ouch. My heart was just pinched. By a dinosaur.

Then Jaden notices us, giving us his bright smile "Hello Summer and Margot" of course I had to wave back "what are you guys doing here?"

And before Margot answers, I immediately chimed in "Just to tell Ice that I'm gonna drop by later to give back her jackets—bebecause its uhm occupying a lot of my clothes space"

I bring up my eyes to Ice and she's giving me this rapid emotion to the way she's staring at me.

I'm too nervous for this. You know what? I literally don't know what I'm feeling, of why my heart is damn beating so fast while it also hurts at the same time.

"Oh uhm....we're gonna uhm, head lunch now, so uhm..." of why this wanna make me cry? "as I said, I might drop by later. Okay bye"
