He had his ice cream, I had mine.
We were just sitting there eating our ice creams wordlessly.
"You're really here. After all these years, you're really here."
James gives me a little smile, "Yes. I never got the chance to thank you for everything that you did for me. I will forever be indebted to you."
I nod my head, "We were kids. I just wanted to help. I'm just glad you're here. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would see you again. I figured that the rain would have washed away what I wrote on the sidewalk."
"I was watching you from my house," James paused and wrinkled his nose, "That sounds creepy. Let me re-word that.I knew you were sitting on the sidewalk and when I went to go check if you were still there through my window I saw you writing something. I didn't give it much thought, I thought you were just distracting yourself. Then when I came back to check on you a couple minutes later, you were gone. I wanted to see what you were doing so I walked out and that's when I saw what you wrote. I ran back to my house and got a pen and paper and just re-wrote everything you had written. I never actually imagined myself coming here to see you."
I reached over to hold James's hand and gave it a squeeze "Well I'm happy that you came."
At that exact moment the ice cream shop door was slammed loudly and obnoxiously and I saw Tony and Kellin standing there staring at me and James.
Instead of letting go of James's hand like I knew I should have done, I just kept holding it(His hand was really warm which was nice) and unlike last time all I did was simply turn away from Tony and Kellin.
"So where are you staying James?"
"I'm actully going to check into a hotel not to far from here." he told me
I gasped, "No! I will not let you! You will stay at my house with all of us."
James shook his head "No, I wouldn't want to impose on you and your family like that."
"You would not be imposing on anything I promise. So don't worry about that."I gave James my best puppy dog face I could
He picked up his ice cream cone and gave it a lick. Then before I even had time to react, he stuffed the ice cream on my face and then smiled.
I was too shocked to say anything so I just stared at him incredulously, he then leaned over and licked my cheek, "Do you still want me to stay with you and your family?"
Picking up my own ice cream cone I smashed it in his face before he even had time to dodge it and I smiled at him, "Yep. I still want you to stay with me and my family." Then I leaned over and licked the ice cream off the tip of his nose.
Over the course of this, I had completely forgotten about Tony and Kellin, but do you know what I realized?
I barley knew Kellin. Everything I knew from him was based off of rumors and you can't like someone based off just rumors. Same went for me, he cant possibly like me since he doesn't know me.
Everything was doomed from the beginning and Kellin was right. i should just forget about him.
But then again, I can always get to know him, the real him and he can get to know me, the real me.
Would It work then?
