"A scoop of double dutch, cookies and cream, and top it with rocky road. By the way she'll pay" he said as he immediately walk alway to find a seat.
The girl who was at the counter gave me a questionable look and asked "any additional order? "
"He's on that time of the month. Don't mind him." I chuckled "Uhmm I'll get One unicorn ice cream sundae with extra spinkles. Thank you" I said while I was rummaging my purse for a bill.
"That will be 5 dollars" the girl said. I handed her the money then proceeded to where Marcus sat.
"Well, well, well what a nice view we have here, but uh oh somebody's looks like the grumpy old troll~" I said while touching his sides to make him laugh. His eyebrows furrowed, "I am not a grumpy old troll, and stop that. "
I tried lifting his eyebrows using both of my hands, "Then stop doing that face. " I then lifted the sides of his mouth, "You should smile, you look better this way. "
" Fine, I give up. I'm going to tell you my story." he said while raising both of his hands.
"Finally! Took you long enough to realize. " I said as I formed a 'y'shape using both of my hands then rested my chin on top of it.
"I had been through 3 relationships and all of it was serious. I guess its my fault, I was always the one who ends it because deep inside I know that I'm always not enough. I'm the type of guy you wouldn't want to be with because my personality and beliefs. I'll grow as an old bachelor." he chuckled
"Then why did you enter that relationship, if you know your not ready? " I asked while eating my ice cream.
"Sometimes, you think you're complete because of love, but if that love is not strong enough...other emotions take place and that feeling of being complete slowly drills a hole inside of you until there is nothing left. " he stopped and took a deep breath.
"Can't I just go back to when I was child? No heartbroken just joy and laughter."he added then he went outside and headed to the park.
"Hey! You don't just leave somebody without telling them. It's rude and mean. No wonder your the grumpy old troll. " I said then headed to the swing and sat on one of the swings there.
"I am not a grumpy old troll. Stop saying that." he said and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Make me believe that you are not. Merong." I swiped the ice scream on the side of his cheek then sticked out my tongue.
"Come here you, you're such an immature person. Hey! " he yelled as I ran away from him.
"Waaaaa! No! I was just kidding ahhahahaaha stop it!" I shrieked as he comes closer to me by the second.
Little did I know that was the beginning of everything.
*present*
*grumble grumble grumble*
"Its already 6pm. Hmmmm what should I eat." I opened the refrigerator and saw a pint of ice cream it had a label. It read 'Eat me in case of emergency'. I mentally laughed as I remember the ice cream we ate back then.
I was watching a korean drama when my phone beeped. It was from Marcus! It read 'No need to cook for me. I won't be in time for dinner."
My heart sank but continued to type a meesage for him 'Ok. Be sure to eat your dinner. Don't skip meals. " the moment I hit 'send' a tear escaped my eyes.
"You really know how to make my heart beat fast and slow at the same time. " I said and continue to eat the ice cream in my hand.
