Chapter 2

Chapter 2 (Steve's POV)

"Alrighty, that's one scoop of chocolate. A $1.25." I say, I hand the cone to a costumer. 

She hands me a 5 dollar bill.

"Purdue!" I say trying to make small talk while I get the girl's change. 

"Yep. I'm excited." The customer replies.  Purdue is a collage if you didn't catch on.

"Yeah, you know. I considered it. Purdue, but they I was like. You know what? I think I need some real-life experience, you know. Beforee I hit college, see what it feels like. See what is is like to.. I dont know. See what it's like to earn a working mans wage." 

"Yeah, totally." The girl says, licking her ice cream probably not believing anything I'm saying.

"Have a nice day." I say

The girl thanks me and giggle as she walk out of the shop.

I turned around to Robin, who was at the window. Tatum does begin her shift yet but she'll be at Scoops soon.

"Why do you never tell customers the truth about why you're actually working here?" Robin asks.

"Oh, you mean I couldn't get into Tech, and my douchbag dad is trying to teach me a lesson, I make 3 bucks an hour, and I have no future? That truth?" I say.

"Hey 10 o'clock!" Robin says, pointing at the entrance of the store.

I turned around, and Tatum was walking into the shop, waving at  us with a big smile.

"Ahoy!" I shout. 

Tatum laughs and walks behind the counter, giving me a kiss. 

"Don't worry, it's fading." Tatum says, pointing at my neck.

I fake laugh, "Yeah, fading my ass. Every single person I come across asks me how I got it, so thanks alot. You know I was thinking aboht giving you a mstching spot right here." I point at a spot on her neck and leave a small kiss right there. She smiles and places a hand on the front counter to hold herself up slightly.

"Ew. Can you guys like not? You already have like 6 kids." Robin says.

Tatum rolls her eyes as I pull her in closer to me by her waist.

"We don't have 6 kids." I say.

"Then who the hell are the kids that walk through the back door to go the movies?" 

Robin asks.

"Whatever. You're just annoyed you don't have a life." I say. I put my hands in the back pockets of Tatum's shorts and rest my head on hers

"Sure, annoyed.. Real mature Popeye." Robin calls.

"Ha. Popeye! That's kinda funny. Popeye!" Tatum shouts.

"See what you did, Robin?" I ask.

Robin just shrugs and Tatum smiles at me. Robin closes the window in disgust and continues to eat the small bowl of ice cream she had put together herself for her break.

I laugh and grab Tatum by the waist, "Baby stop!" I whisper smiling into a kiss.

"Popeye!" She whispers.

My hands remain in her back pockets as I push her against the front counter, my lips glued to her.

'DING' 'DING' the bell goes off and gets louder, I keep my lips attached to Tatum but my eyes wander over to the bell.
