The Story of Us

Chap. 5

"So, you ready for that ice cream?" Rylee asked walking into my new office that still had many, many, many boxes left, "Girl... You need to organize this office."

"Oh shut it. I will. Let's go." I laughed grabbing my purse and jacket.

We caught and taxi instead of walking to the ferri boat.

"So, do you think you can eat more ice cream that the master himself?"

"You think your the master? You've definitely never seen me eat ice cream."

"Are you challenging me?"

"I guess I am."

"Ten bucks." Rylee said grabbing his wallet out of his suit pocket.

I gave a fake laugh grabbing my wallet from my purse, "I bet twenty."

"It's on." Rylee spoke.

"But we can't wear these clothes." I motioned to our clothes, "Ice cream is messy."

"If you eat it right it's not."

"If you eat it right it is." I mocked him.

"Okay. Here's your stop!" The driver Samuel spoke.

I went to go reach for my wallet and Rylee already had his money out handing it to the driver.

"I would have paid." I told Rylee as we walked to a spot on the ferri.

"Man ALWAYS pays on dates." He spoke infisising the always.

"Who said this was a date." Is shot at him. Even though I wouldn't mind it if it was a date.

"I did." He gave me a seductive smirk.

I laughed at his action. We sat in silence the rest of the ride. Every few seconds you could see him scoot closer to me. Just a little before we made it to Staten Island Rylee grabbed my hand and held it.

"You've got guts boy. You know it?"

"I've got balls."

"Yeah right. Your a bigger girl than I am."

"That's true as well." His voice got serious.

"Odd ball."

"I know."

"Will you hurry it up!?" Rylee shouted from the living room of my small studio apartment as I changed in my small simple bedroom.

I decided on a pair of blue jeans, and plain white t-shirt, and a pair of black and white adidas. I threw my hair into a high messy ponytail.

I walked threw the apartment to see Rylee sprawled across my couch watching TV.

"You really now how to make yourself at home?" I hit Rylee upside the head as I passed my him.

"I'm going to spend a lot of time here. Why not start now?"

I did not respond to his words. I just simply laughed and walked out the door.

"Are you coming?"

"Dude. I am going to dominate you in this bet."

"Whatever you say."

"Can't handle the truth I see?"

"Save the smack talk for after you lose. Please and thank you. Thank you and please."

"You should listen to your own advice there Ms. Isadorra."

This is going to be a long ride.

"Okay so we both are going to get the same amount of ice cream. Until you give up." Rylee explained as we stood at the counter.

"Just order the ice cream. I am going to find a table."

I found a table and waited for Rylee to come sit down.

Rylee came and sat down a few minutes later. "Has anybody ever told you your the most beautiful girl on the face of the earth."
