"Are you okay, dear?" Giana asked. Vanessa was rubbing her stomach, her face seemed different, it's as if she was feeling some kind of pain. "I'm good, I'm good. Thank you," she half-whispered. "I was just really scared that time. That didn't even happen to me, ever." Vanessa added, looking at everyone. "Let's go over there for the meantime, everybody!" Clarissa said, gesturing her head towards a building. They all followed, discovering an empty space. "Who knows they might be over there finding us."
Cara put down her cellphone, rested her hand, and hid it inside her pockets. "So, how are they?" Elizabeth asked. "I called Jake, he said they're coming over here to pick us up. The music was just too loud I could barely hear him." Cara grinned as she spoke.
Thunders begun roaring and it was raining again.
"So, we're gonna stay here?" Giana wasn't sure what they're going to do- was obvious in her words and face. "Yes, mother." Cara answered immediately. "Nessa, are you sure they won't find us here?" Clarissa asked the person beside her, which she also thought that someone had the ability to track anyone. She examined her surroundings, checked whether the place was enough for them to hide. In front of them was the road, just directly in front. Different kinds of cars were passing along the way, the traffic was not too much. There was also a tire shop that she saw across the way.
But the last thing she looked at was the building builded beside them. Though it was the night, the lights were shining and captured her vision. And that made her think of a thing- just for the meantime. "Could we go inside there?" She asked.
"Not bad, let's go in." Cara said, after taking a look at it. They pushed the door that was tinted, revealing a fast-food restaurant with few customers seated there. "I'll just tell them that we're here waiting." Cara said as they walked to take a seat.
One waitress greeted them, and gave them food menus each. "Oh, we're not going to eat. If it's okay with you, we could rest inside here while waiting for the rain to stop." Vanessa said as the waitress handed it. "No, no," Clarissa tried to interrupt her. "I'm kinda hungry right now." She added, smirking. "I'll be taking a cup full of ice cream, please." She said, without taking a peek at the menu. "A dessert, ma'am?" The Waitress asked as she wrote it on a piece of paper.
"Yes, I crave for it right now," she replied quickly. "No time for heavy meal." She added, whispering. The waitress grinned at her, then finally left them. "Is the bride-to-be excited for tomorrow's big event?" Elizabeth asked, staring directly at her daughter who was also sitting across her. "Who isn't?" She joked. "I promise you that I'll make you the most beautiful creature on this planet." Vanessa told her, smiling. She looked at her, then returned her smile. "You know you don't have to make a promise, dear." Clarissa replied in a slow manner.
They've been a little silent eventually, but Clarissa has thought of a way on how to continue the conversation. "By the way, aren't you gonna add up another name for your baby boy?" She asked, looking at her big stomach. "Hey, I caught him kicking!" Cara suddenly shouted, and when she spoke everyone's attention were turned to her tummy. Vanessa held it, then giggled.
She sighed, when the kicking stopped. But it was clear in her face that she was sighing about Clarissa's question. "I don't want him to have a second name. I just want one, Hansel. For it to be different, not always two names." She explained.
Clarissa watched as one waiter make her ice cream, she even grinned when she saw his fast and quick hands. And just after exactly two minutes, he rang the small bell right over the wooden table, and when the waitress heard it, she reached for it then served it. There were three scoops of ice creams that had different flavors. Then she unwrapped the tissue on the spoon carefully, then tasted it. It was becoming quicker and quicker after a bunch of tastes, and everyone was watching her, and she could notice it. "I think I want to grab one." Cara commented, licking her lips as she watch her do it again.
