Chapter 19

"Can we go in there?" Azure asked, practically beaming.

"Of course." I laughed at her excitement. Me and Azure were walking around town having our promised "girls day". We had came to a stop outside one of my favourite shops in the world which Azure had obviously heard all about. It was called Curiosity and it consisted of about 7 different rooms which you walk through. It was filled with little bits and pieces varying from sweet little friendship bracelets and jewellery, hand sewn hearts to hang up around rooms, bunting, arrays of gorgeous scented candles and even various types of fairy lights. It was a girls dream. As soon as you stepped into the mystical, dimly lit shop, the smell of parma violets always seemed evident, along with a mixture of floral perfumes and spiced candles.

As weird as it sounds, that smell brought back so many memories.

"Omg!" Squealed Azure excitedly. "It's so cool in here!" She exclaimed, her wide, beady eyes scanning the shop and all it's endless amounts of trinkets. I could tell we were going to be in here for a very long time.

3 hours and 45 minutes we were in Curiosity for- better than I thought. We both walked out with a few bags each. Mine filled with sweet smelling candles, some seaside-y magnets, a flower crown, choker necklace, a few pretty handmade friendship style bracelets, some heart trinkets, a dainty floral photo frame, a few cutely decorated notepads and jazzy pens and many other bits and pieces. Azure had similar things.

"I think that has to be my favourite shop that has ever existed in the whole history of shops.." Azure sighed contently.

"I know," I chuckled. "It's pretty amazing."

"Where to now then?" She asked.

"Chocolate shop?" I raised an eyebrow at her questioningly.

"YES!" She clapped excitedly as we made our way down the cute little alleyway, bordered with violet and cream flowers in hanging baskets, before reaching the oh-so-famous 'Chocolate Shop'. As we walked through the pastel pink doors of the café, the smell of freshly made chocolate and ice cream hit us like a truck. Azure looked up at the huge black board menu, her eyes flicking over the endless varieties of chocolate cakes, scones, ice creams, milkshakes, brownies, fondues, hot chocolates... You get the gist.

"I think i've died and gone to heaven.." She mumbled.

"Oh shit that is good!" Azure took another spoonful of her chocolate chip and cappuccino ice cream, with a jug of hot dark chocolate on the side to drizzle over.

"I told ya." I grinned, taking a mouthful of my honeycomb hash and cappuccino ice cream, having already poured the hot sauce over.

"So," she giggled, wiping her chin with a napkin where a spot of sauce had fell.

"So," I responded, laughing at the mess she was making.

"How's things with luke..." She made kissy faces- causing me to blush and laugh at the same time.

"Great, I guess" I smiled widely. "Um, actually I've been meaning to ask you something..." My voice trailed off.

"Shoot." she chuckled.

"Well, um, Luke asked me to go with him Saturday to his uncles- it's a yearly family gathering thing. And, well, I'd have to stay the night... But that means leaving you for a day."

"Are you kidding me, Em?" She looked appalled. "Go with him! I can manage one night!"

"Are you sure, I'd feel really bad.."
