Back on October (A Sci-Set Love Story)

Chapter Three

"Fucking hell..."

The cold air brushed against my skin as we entered the shop. W e approached the counter, everyone's mouths began to water as they saw all of the delectable desserts displayed on top of the display refrigerator.

"Dibs on the chocolate cake!!!" Rainbow yelled, waving her hands in the air, a few dollars in her hands.

"I want chocolate cake, too!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she followed suit.

"Two slices of Sans Rival, please," Applejack said, looking at the menu at the top of the display. "Is there anything else, Rares?"

"Coffee?" Rarity asked, smiling.

"All right," Applejack said to the counter staff. "And two coffees, please," she finished.

The couple moved to the side, giving Twilight and I some space to order. We both moved forward and began looking at the menu on the top.

"So..." I started, leaning in closer to Twilight. "Do you have a favorite dessert?" I inquired.

Twilight shifted her gaze to me, smiling, "Red Velvet brownies. You?" she asked.

I smiled. "Same."

Twilight laughed. "I'll get some for us," she said.

"I'll pay for it," I offered.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," I replied, smiling.

"All right," she said, looking at the woman on the counter. "Two Red Velvet brownies, please."

While Twilight was ordering brownies, I took my phone from my pocket and clicked Timber's chat head. I was about to text him but something stopped me.

Maybe I can suggest a different dessert to him?

I kept wondering what I should do, whether I should tell him the truth or lie to him. I eventually decided to suggest a different dessert, Chocolate Mint ice cream to be exact. I was about to send it but I suddenly felt bad.

Sighing, I typed Red Velvet brownies and sent it to Timber.

"Sunset?" Twilight called.

I raised my head, a small smile on my face. "Coming," I said as I approached her and handed her the money. Twilight gladly accepted it and handed it over to the staff.

We looked around the shop for a vacant table as the woman behind the counter began to prepare our orders. We sat at the table in the shop's left corner, and patiently waited for our orders.

Fluttershy sat in the far corner, facing Rainbow on the other side of the table. Rarity and Applejack followed suit, while Pinkie sat in the middle. I really wanted to sit next to Twilight, but she sat next to Rarity, so I had to settle between Applejack and Pinkie.

Suddenly...

"I've changed my mind!" Rarity exclaimed as she stood up. "I'd like to sit beside Applejack," she said, looking at Applejack, who was puzzled. "Sunset, would you like to switch with me?" she asked, smirking.

Everyone turned to look at me. "Oh- uh, s-sure," I said nervously. I stood up and got out of my seat. Rarity quickly took my seat and hugged her girlfriend. Twilight looked at me and motioned me to sit beside her. Blushing, I sat down next to her.

Twilight smiled as she looked at me. "Hey there." she said.

"Hey," I said, a little awkward.

Finally, the waiter came over and gave our orders. We were all busy eating and talking about random things that happened to us a few days ago, when I noticed Twilight not eating her food.

"Hey, is everything okay?" I questioned.

Twilight glanced up. "They gave me a burned one," she complained.

I looked at her and began to laugh. "Well...do you want to share?" I asked, smiling.

Twilight laughed. "How can I say no?" she said.

We started sharing my brownies. My gaze was fixed on hers the entire time as she continued to enjoy every single bite. She is stunning. It's difficult not to look at her. After everyone had finished their meals, we decided to go home for the day.

I entered my apartment and shut the door. I threw my bag on the couch and dragged myself up to my bed on the loaf. Sighing, I took off my boots and flopped my face on my bed.

My phone suddenly started vibrating. I took it from my pocket and looked at the screen, where I saw Timber's name. I answered the phone, swiping to the left on the screen.

"What..." I asked, a little tired.

"Thanks for the info, you're the best," he said from the other end of the phone. You can tell he's extremely happy.

"Whatever," I said, my face still flopped on the bed, muffled my voice.

"Anyways..." He began, "I need to know her favorite flowers now." He said.

Oh great. When is this torment going to end?

I turned around, my gaze now fixed on the ceiling. "Can you just pick any flowers? Twilight wouldn't mind," I instructed, rolling eyes.

"No, Sunset. Details are very important," he chuckled. "So I'm really need to know."

"Ugh..." I groaned. "Fine, I'll do my best to get you what you want."

"Thank you!" he exclaimed, a happy tone in his voice.

"Now, let me sleep," I said as I hung up the phone and tossed it across the bed.
