Lizzie's pov

Ivan and I walked out of the diner after having our dinner. We walked in silence as we approached his car. Walking up to the passenger seat, he opened the door as I stood dumbfounded looking at him confused.

Since when did this fucker learned some manners because apparently his whole family lacked in this field.

He let out a sigh in annoyance & motioned me to get inside the car. I sat inside as he closed the door. He walked over his side and got in.

I pulled the seat belt around me but it wouldn't lock in, I tried couple of times when out of nowhere Ivan's hand held mine stopping me. He locked the seat belt for me.

He settled in and started the engine. The situation between us was suffocating yet calming.

We didn't talk about the kiss. The fucker had the audacity to kiss me for good 10 minutes before I pushed him away.

I looked outside the window as Ivan was driving steadily. I looked at few passing cars and street lights. I didn't take my eyes away from window even for a second because I know if I do the peace will go away.

After twenty minutes of silent driving Ivan pulled up in front of a ice- cream parlor. My eyes lit up looking at the place, I gave him a questioning look and he finally spoke.

"What....I like eating ice -cream. It's my favorite"

"Oh!! so eating my brain is not you favorite." I replied.

"No sweetheart....I like to eat something else. But not tonight." I was to stunned to speak as he laughed at my face.

He leaned forward slightly and unbuckled my seat belt. Even though I was mad at him, I couldn't hold back my smile that made its way to my lips.

I still remember my last ice -cream with Stella and Rose. Stella saved money for that. I flet a pang on my heart. I shouldn't have said those words.We both owe her so much.

Ivan opened the door for me, holding put his hand. I refused & got up of my own. Without even waiting for him I walked inside the parlor.

I picked out coconut ice -cream. While Ivan paid for it. He then ordered chocolate brownie flavor for himself.

While I was lost in my own world. The door bell chimed. Both Rose and Cole made there way inside. They both looked at us before Rose run towards me.

"Lizzie you are here too." She asked in full excitement.

I nodded my head when cole comes behind her.

He pulled Rose into a hug before scolding in a serious tone.

"What did I told you about running here and there" he asked.

"Sorry" she pout but again ran to order.

Cole let out a sigh before going behind her.

Rose was eyeing the ice cream like a hungry child as Cole stood behind her patiently. Soon the worker approached making her look up at him. He seemed to be same age as us.

"And what can I get you beautiful?" He said winking at rose and Ivan started to cough while hiding his laugh.

Rose clearly didn't like the way he was looking at her. It made her uncomfortable.

She took a step closer to cole and without saying anything she pointed out the same chocolate brownie flavor of ice cream.

"I didn't quite hear you baby" his voice made me irritated.

I tried to stand up to punch this basterd in his throat when Ivan's hand stopped me.

"Do your fucking job right or get the fuck out of our face" cole said with gritted teeth, the boy looked like he saw a ghost as his face went pale & he whispered sorry and hurriedly took two big scoops of the ice cream in a cup before handing it to Rose.
