Down the street, Cyndey and I reach our destination -- the greatly named Gellato Plaza. And by this time, I have my arm removed from her waist and I am just walking next to her.
"And because you agreed to come here with me and be my BFF today, I will treat you for a gellato!" Cyndey announces with all the happiness in her face.
I flash a smile in return though deep at the back of my mind, I am wishing that there is only one 'f' with that word. I am wishing that i means boyfriend, not bestfriend.
The wind starts to blow on this sunny day. Cyndey's gorgeous hair dances with the breeze as she holds it to keep them from blocking her beautiful face, "Let's go inside, Rae. It's windy out here."
"Yeah, sure." I remark as I quickly grab the door to help her get inside.
"Thanks." She say as she flawlessly enter the kiosk. I know eyes are now staring at her.
I follow shortly after her entrance. And just from the door, you could easily smell the aroma of the gellatos, the smell of the nuts and fruits. It is surely a feast for anybody's nostrils. Smells like an orchard, actually.
We walk straight to the counter, Cyndey in front of me, of course. The cashier greets us nicely and offers us to try their best seller --- The Tiramisu.
"You want to try that?" Cyndey asks me and, again, I got distracted by her eyes.
It takes some seconds before I snap back to reality and respond to her, "Yeah...sure. I think that looks delicious."
She questions this, "Are you sure? Don't keep up with what I like, Rae. Go pick yours." She orders.
"No, It's fine Cyd. I think I want that flavour too." I reply, bluffing. I know I am not a fan of desserts but she really has that tight grip of control over me.
Cyndey then nods and give the cashier our choices.
The cashier totals our bill. She then hands the receipt to Cyndey after the machine printed it out for her.
She scoops up from the tub of ice cream and fills up two wafer cones. She then wraps a plain tissue paper before handling both ice cream to Cyd..
"Let's sit on that couch over there." Cyndey suggests as she points her finger on the red couch at the corner next to an antique bookshelf.
The Gellato Plaza has really nice interior. It is not the usual ice cream parlours that you can see. This one has more class, more artistic on the way it was designed and decorated. You can see that a lot of investment and time have been given to this place; from the furnitures, the ornaments and even the ice creams. It is truly beautiful and cozy.
Cyndey sits first and I follow. I was going to sit across her but she insists not to, "Here, Rae. You can sit next to me. So I can clearly hear the things that you're saying when you retell the story."
I do not object with that. I follow her like I'm a lost puppy. Helpless.
"So, here's your Tiramisu," She hands it over and I gladly accept it, "Actually, I kinda licked one already. But i forgot which one. Sorry." Cyndey apologizes. I notice that her cheeks are somewhat turning light red. She's blushing.
I giggle, "It's fine, Cyd. Though it will be better if you have licked this ice cream."
She laughs,"Oh god! Stop that Rae." Cyndey continues to blush, it becomes more and more noticeable. She is absent-mindedly making me smile...and I like that.
"But seriously, it adds a new flavor. I guess it's your lipgloss." I state as I finally lick the top of my ice cream.
She chuckles yet she does not look directly at me.
