Best Mistake

MISTAKE 16

"Go away little girl we don't  want to play with you"

The kids on the playground was shooing me away. I wanted to join them but they wouldn't let me.

I turned my back on them with shoulders dropped.

Nobody wants to play with me. *pouts*

I hate my nanny she doesn't take good care of me and also our driver.

I Don't know what's  wrong with them but they keep hugging and hold hands like mama and papa.

The  difference is I don't want to look at them it's  gross.

I walked my way through the pavement. I want to play but I have no one to play with. I wanna go home :(

I stopped on my tracks when I saw a boy  under the tree.

He was alone reading a book. Maybe that kid could play with me!

I skipped towards the boy showing my wide smile making my incomplete set of teeth visible.

"Hello! I'm Ice!" I introduced myself still smiling to show off my dimples. Mommy said I was cuter with my dimples >

The boy looked at me blankly and returned to reading again...
-------------------------------

"Hey wait up for me!"

Marco yelled behind me. I didn't know that I was capable of showing him the other sides of me.

He was so aloof back then that I never get to be comfortable beside him. Being so open to him felt refreshing.

This was new to me... to us.

I didn't bother to spare him a glance back instead I continued heading towards the waters.

My mind was full of thoughts that I hadn't notice Marco was able to catch up with me.

Why is men so good when it comes to speed?

I let out a small squeek when he grabbed me by the waist and brought me to his arms. Bridal style...

I was blushing furiously I felt like we were just newly weds. Not wanting him to see my face flushed I demanded him to put me down.

He just laughed and continued to the waters.

"Marco! Put me down!"

He smirked at me and without second thoughts he let go of me. I wasn't prepared of his sudden action.

He literally dropped me on the water!

I swallowed a bit of the salty water making my face look undescribable.

"Hahaha! Your face is priceless Elle!"

He continued to laugh endlessly making me splash water to his way.

From what I did he was able to taste the saltiness of the water.

Now it was my turn to laugh.

"Now who's look is priceless now pretty boy?"

I said to him while laughing my heart out. This was the first time I was able to laugh so carefree from the past months.

This honeymoon seemed to be a fresh air.

I stopped laughing when I noticed him staring at me. I got a little cautious and shy.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"You know, you're not that bad at all Elle."

I smiled as he said that. It was so nice of him to say that.

"I think it's time for us to fix things and forget about grudges in our past. So what do you say..."

Is he going to fight for our marriage? Is that what his going to say?

If yes then it would bring so much happiness to me!

"Friends?" He continued.

Friends?

I didn't see that coming. All the excitement and hope left me in just a second.

Is that really all he could offer to me?

I thought....

Great Sydelle... Once again you made yourself look stupid.

He reached out and offered for a hand shake. Even if it was hard for me I shook his hand and said...

"Friends it is then."

This is hard. So hard. I feel like my heart was crumbling again.

I looked at Marco he was still smiling. How can this person hurt me so much?

He seemed to notice my uneasiness everything right now felt so awkward.  Both of us didn't said a thing after it. So to break off the awkwardness once again I splashed water to his face.

"Hey!"

I splashed him again!

"Is this what you want? Two can play this game Elle."

He splashed water to me and by just that the awkward silence was gone but the pain in my heart was still there.
