The Three Empty Words

CHP. 13

CRUEL SUMMER — TAYLOR SWIFT

"We are going to be late." Charlotte said, sitting on the bed and looking at Emily, who has been doing her make up for over an hour now.

"Just a minute." She replied and rubbed the nude color lipstick on her lips. She rubbed her lips together for the lipstick to go round, then she covered the lipstick and kept it on the table.

She took her handbag and swung it around her shoulder. She removed the hair band holding her hair and let it fall loose around her back.

"All set." She said and turned around to face Charlotte, who looked pissed off already.

"About time." She said and got up, getting ready to walk out from the door.

"Not like you don't do same." Emily replied and rolled her eyes at the same time, before following Charlotte out from the door.

They ordered an Uber that took them to Prater Park. The car came to a halt in front of the entrance gate, both Emily and Charlotte alighted from the car. They paid the driver his money before going in.

The park has a mixed features of wooded areas, meadows and lakes. There is also Riesenard (Ferris wheels). There is Wurstelpater; an amusement park with various rides, games, and attractions.

There is a planetarium, a state-of-the-art facility offering interactive exhibits and shows. There is a prater museum that showcases the Park's history and cultural significance.

There is a mini-prater; an area designed for young children with gentle rides and play structures.

There is a walking and cycling paths, jogging and running routes, picnic areas and barbecue facilities, and boat rentals on the prater lake.

"The place looks cool, much of fun." Charlotte said, her lips curved one-sided.

"Yup, but I think we should get something to eat before we start our fun once the night sky falls."

"That'll be a perfect time. And then we could take pictures."

"You've started with your obsession." Emily said as they began walking to the shop close by.

"It's not called obsession and I want to post it on my IG, like... Hashtag, fun with my annoying best friend and I want Jimmy to see my smile."

"Right, definitely forgot you had a boyfriend."

Charlotte stopped and faced Emily, who also stopped walking. "What?" Emily asked innocently.

"How could you forget your best friend had a boyfriend!" She yelled out. It's a good thing that much people weren't passing around their side, unless they'd have received tons of eyes piercing at them.

"You mustn't say it out loud." Emily replied feeling embarrassed. She looked around her to make sure people weren't staring at them. "We should get going, I was just kidding okay."

"No you were not." Charlotte deadpanned.

"We shouldn't spoil your precious moment right now, we can talk about this once we get back to the motel. And besides, the queue to the shop is getting longer and I'm starving." Just the moment she finished her words, her stomach grumbled.

"See." Emily pointed to her stomach, as she hooked her hand with Charlotte's, and they began walking to the shop.

"But to be honest, you don't talk about him and you don't chat or should I say, scatter your fingers on your keyboard on the phone."

"That doesn't mean you should forget we are having chemistry, but, I've been busy lately,, remember when I talked to you back in Philadelphia long ago, though you might have forgotten. I applied for an online class for a business course."
