"Is everything okay?" He approached asking. "Just peachy" I replied, hiding a grin underneath that I stole from Aud. "hmm, suspicious. Should I be worried whose peach it is?" he look at me sceptically. "I don't know, should you?" I cheerily teased.
He smiled, stating his surrender. I smiled, acknowledging it. "The burgers are getting lonely, not being able to make friends with our tummies, you want to help them?" he curiously asked. Amusingly I let out a fast sigh at how bad his commentary was, shot him a look that spells the word 'seriously?' and said "go ahead".
Between our eating faces, the small talks and the fact that I am eating fast food, everything seems to be like a dream. If it is, I wish I never wake up. With him in front of me casually munching on a burger, it seems that the world have faded away, leaving just the both of us. Or maybe the time have stopped between the both of us, where people around pass by without us knowing and in a speed our mind could not capture. The only one that matters was the guy in front of me. He practically occupied my entire memory, mind and heart capacity which I desperately want to pull myself out of and slapping myself hard to remind myself to get a grip. But he is such a dreamboat, and I am being a creep like right now with my staring.
Pulling aback into reality, I shook my head slightly and blink my eyes shockingly. In the process of coming back to reality, the dreamboat in front of me let out a short series of laughter. I am guessing it is directed at what I just did or probably the fact that I was so busy being a weirdo that I forgot to eat my burger.
What an embarrassment, quit being a freak Ave. Gosh.
After I established that eating a burger is being normal and chomped down that body-figure destroyer, he suggested that we should take a walk in the nearby park since the weather is perfect.
"You seemed pretty nervous meeting me Avery," he chuckled. "You wanted to talk to me about something right? You want to go to the park to breathe in some fresh air, calm down so you can speak your mind?"
Gosh, he's so considerate, to the point that I actually feels apologetic for asking him out in my state. But I went along with it. The walk to the park was pretty silent for nobody spoke, that is so awkward however, I am guessing it is his way for letting me cool down and relax. "Ave, let's sit there" he suddenly broke the silence pointing at a bench on the right, shaded by a huge tree. I nodded and followed him towards that tree, but my attention stayed at the moment when he called by my nickname.
It sounded nice, 'Ave'.
