Secretly in love

24. Dolls

Gigi said that it's the tent in number 11 and I'm walking my way while carrying my box of pastries.

This open space gives me a night market vibe with the string light bulbs decorated all over the place, the white tents, open dining in the center, a lot of merchandise products and fun games.

I kind of like it here, not too crowded plus Ice and I can play games while trying out food and checking stalls.

"Hi, you must be Summer" I'm too mesmerized by the surroundings when I was caught off guard "I'm sorry to startle you" she added before extending her hand "Allaiza, but you can call me Ally"

I took her hand and returning back the friendly smile while thinking of why she has resemblance to Gigi?  "Summy for short—but sorry, how do you know my name?"

"Who wouldn't when my sister talked about you a lot and post you a lot too" her bold statement instantly makes my cheeks numb.

Oh shit now I'm shy. "Your Gigi sister?" But she mentioned friends yesterday right?

"Her one and only older sister. Well, actually, not much in age gap but let's not talk about age" then gesture to come over inside her tent that has a cute fluffy dolls displayed in the shelves "They're all handcrafted. I made them"

That literally made my jaw dropped in awe of how talented she is! I mean, who would think that these cute fluffy dolls is made by Ally? I bet this took a lot of effort, time and a lot of talent.

"You can have this table which Gigi reminded me a lot of times to bring"

"Oh my god I'm so sorry for the trouble Ally"

She smiled, she has this gorgeous perfect smile with her porcelain teeth flexing like she's modeling for a toothpaste which reminds me that Gigi mentioned their mom is a dentist "No worries. Go on and display your product"

I nodded then put down the box and start to display the mini cookie jar and cupcake.

"So. Your Gigi girlfriend?"

I almost dropped the last cupcake when she asked the question. "No I'm just her friend"

Ally pressed her lip into thin line between nodding but not in agreeing way, more on, not believing in me and to the way her eyes were squinting. "It's okay. I like you if ever in future you two work it out. Much better honestly compared to her ex girlfriend, they're all look bitchy but the same time dumb"

Speechless is the best word to describe my reaction and to the way I'm tugging my lip to produce a smile that pretty sure it turned out creepy.

"You sure about just being friends? Because, I know every inch of my sister" she said with folded her arms.

I lightly shook my head. Gigi is like Ice, they both have this invisible high standard that only beautiful people can pass. "That's impossible to happen"

"What? Let me guess, not your cup of tea?" I smiled to Ally then shook my head "Tell me, it's okay Sum, don't worry I'm not gonna take it to heart. I must admit my sister sometimes is a dork"

I carefully place down the cupcake before tilting to Ally "Gigi is pretty known not just in our building but in other courses too. She's the university athlete"

"And so? What about it? Did that duck become a girl player? Because if she is, she needs to wake up by a hard bound book colliding to her cheeks"

I shook my head "No and trust me she has a clean reputation"

"Good to know because our family don't tolerate that. But tell me your reason of rejecting Gigi?"

"That's funny. Rejecting huh?.....Ally for sure there are a lot of beautiful girls....what I'm trying to say is that"
