Sweet Rivalry : From Bitter Enemies To Sweet Lovers (BXB)

8- The Snapshot

Neo arrived at the bus stop, eagerly awaiting Charles' arrival. However, to his surprise, Charles was nowhere to be found.

Neo's worry grew as he called Charles multiple times, but there was no answer. Feeling increasingly concerned, Neo decided to look around, only to be startled by Charles popping out from a nearby corner.

Neo's anger flared up as he confronted Charles, expressing his frustration at not receiving any response.

Neo: Where were you?? You know how many times I called you?? I was worried about you idiot!!!

Charles couldn't help but laugh, finding Neo's worried expressions amusing.

Charles: Ohh so you were worried about me?

Neo (embarrassed): No- I wasn't!! I was planning to go home.

Chuckling, Charles admitted that he had been observing Neo from a distance and found it funny.

Charles: Well I was observing you from the start but didn't come out. Your expressions were funny.

In response, Neo crumpled Charles' feet with his own and started walking, with Charles following closely.

Charles apologized and suggested not missing out on the festival they had planned to attend.

Neo nodded in agreement, letting go of his anger, and they continued their journey together, ready to enjoy the festivities.

As Neo and Charles make their way through the dessert fest, the air is filled with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked treats.

The sun set casts a warm golden glow over the vibrant stalls, adorned with colorful banners and twinkling lights. They can't help but be drawn to a stall selling delectable desserts.

Neo's eyes widen with excitement as he spots a tower of fluffy cotton candy, spun in a mesmerizing swirl of pink and blue. He eagerly grabs a stick and takes a big bite, savoring the sugary sweetness that melts on his tongue.

Neo: Mhmmm, This tastes so good!!!

Charles looked at Neo's reactions amusedly. Then he turned his head and looked for an ice cream stall.

While Neo was eating cotton cady
Charles, on the other hand, is captivated by the sight of a stall offering a variety of exotic ice cream flavors.

Unable to resist the temptation, Charles orders a scoop of creamy mango sticky ice cream, topped with a sprinkle of Watermelon.

The combination of the tropical fruit creates a delightful explosion of flavors in his mouth.

As they continue their adventure, they stumble upon a stall with a comical twist.

A lively caricature artist beckons them over, promising to capture their unique personalities on paper.

Neo and Charles eagerly sit down, striking exaggerated poses as the artist skillfully brings their features to life with a few strokes of his pen.

With their caricatures in hand, they burst into laughter at the exaggerated features and playful expressions.

Neo: Look at yours, your forehead is like upside sandwich!!!

Charles: And yours is so accurate just like a blow fish. I can't find a difference between the sketch and the real you!! Hahaha...

Neo: Hmphhhh, idiot!!

Charles was still laughing at his joke whereas Neo was looking at him with sparkling eyes.
It's a moment frozen in time, a memento of their joyous day at the dessert fest.

As the moon started showing, Neo and Charles walk away from the fest, their hearts full of laughter and their taste buds tingling with the flavors of the dessert. It's a memory they'll cherish forever, a sweet escape from the ordinary.

Neo and Charles, with the faces beaming with contentment, finally reached the bus stop after indulging in the delightful treats at the dessert festival.

Neo was feeling the weariness of the day's adventures, found solace on the weathered wooden bench. He nestled himself comfortably, his eyelids growing heavy with exhaustion.

As the gentle breeze rustled through the nearby trees, Charles couldn't help but be captivated by the serene sight before him.

He gazed at Neo, his peaceful expression radiating an undeniable charm. In that moment, Charles knew he had to capture this precious memory.

With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Charles stealthily retrieved his phone from his pocket. He carefully positioned himself, ensuring that Neo remained undisturbed.

As he pressed the shutter button, the soft click of the camera seemed to harmonize with the tranquil ambiance of the bus stop.

The photo immortalized Neo's slumber, his features relaxed and serene. It was a snapshot of pure tranquility, a testament to the bond they shared and the joy they experienced throughout the day.

Charles couldn't help but smile, knowing that this image would forever remind them of the enchanting moments they had spent together.

Charles quietly pocketed his phone, cherishing the memory he had just captured. He sat beside Neo, and placed Neo's head on his shoulder then started patiently waiting for the bus to arrive.
