The girl they will never have

21.

The game was now in full swing but there came the break. The crowd was still cheering and we made our way to get some fries and coke.

The truck was surrounded by people and was in a rush. Not wanting to stand there in the crowded line,I stepped aside telling Mila and Em to get our order. I stood at a slight distance away waiting for them to get back,observing people. Everyone was in the mood to rejoice with some people having tattoos,banners and even proposals too. There were people with food filling their hands and who can forget the ice creams.

Tempted,I walked to the trucks for ice creams. I signed Mila that I would be getting the ice creams and made my way. The line was long so I had to wait for some time.

A kid left the line with a cone in his hand,licking his lips. To be frank,I too licked my lips,eyeing his ice cream. His ice cream was really very colorful having three scoops of different flavors and sprinklers at the top. I was kind of shocked to see how could he eat that much,since he was about eight or nine years old. If I had a small brother,then he would surely had to be like this.

The boy was busy staring at the ice cream,not letting his eyes wander anywhere. He had that big smile on his face making him even more cuter. If I wouldn't be in the line,I would surely have pulled his cheeks and kissed them.

As if my stares were like devil's eye,the boy crashed into someone. And as expected,the cone came crashing down with the kid gasping. The moment he came to his senses,he started bawling his eyes out,crying at the top of his lungs. If I would have been in his place,I would surely stab the person who did that. I looked at the person who killed the ice cream with venom filled eyes. Geez,I now sound like a serpent of some sort.

The guy was alone but his face held a sad expression. He knelt down to the kid's level and spoke to him. The kid stopped crying after some time and told the guy something. The kid's parents were trying to hush him. The guy lifted the kid and stood at the back of the line. Unknowingly,a smile crept on my face seeing the guy at least stopped after crashing with the kid and did not shout at him. He might be older than me and knowing how guys are,he was better than the others. He kept on talking with the kid,making the kid nod his head.

Relieved that the kid would get his cone back,it was now my turn. I ordered mocha,caramel and blackcurrent. I payed for it and balanced the three cones. I took a swift glance at the guy who was now staring at my cones and back to me. I walked away faster yet carefully back to Mila and Em.

Making our way back to seats,we settled down and started with our nearly melting ice creams. After five minutes,Me and Em were done with them where as Mila was still at the top,licking her caramel. Me and Em eyed her making Mila to shrug.

"Well,I'm enjoying my ice cream and not just eating it. And please don't look at it like you would snatch the cone and eat it" .

"As much we would like to,we wouldn't do that. We wouldn't stoop so low." Em said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah,we wouldn't lick the top,but we would surely eat the bottom." I said her with a wink and hastily took a bite from the bottom of the cone making Mila gasp.

"You just didn't do that,did you?" Mila shouted at me with Em laughing at her. I just shrugged and pointed her that her top is melting. She however forgot my stealing but didn't forgive me. I know she would start when she has finished it.

Taking advantage of it,me and Em started with the fries making Mila glare at us. Knowing she would shout making heads turn,we did the best mature thing we could do. We made three portions and actually counted them and divided into three to prevent further more fights. Yeah,this is how mature we are. Note the sarcasm.
