It was around 12 in the afternoon when we went to get ice cream. There was still awkward silence when we walked.
"I heard you guys are on a TV show?" I said to bring up conversation.
"Yeah. Impractical jokers, have you ever seen it?" Sal asked.
"I don't get much time to watch TV. My job takes up all my time! Sometimes I don't even get home till 3 am!" I told him.
"What's your job?" He asked me.
"I'm a baker. I own a bakery in Staten Island" I told him.
"That's so cool" he said. "Do you make the cakes?" He asked.
"Yeah. They aren't great" I said to him.
"I bet that's not true" he said as he playfully nudged my arm.
"You'll have to try one and you'll see what I mean!" I joked to him.
"Definitely" he said with a smile. I felt more comfortable talking to him now.

We reached the ice cream shop and the worker asked us what we would like. We spent that much time talking we didn't even get chance to decode what we wanted.
"We have a couple special. It's a tub of a mixture of ice cream flavours. 50% off for couples. Are you two a couple!?" The man at the counter asked.
"Yes!" Sal said and smirked at me. "50% off then!" He whispered. I laughed and paid the guy. They handed us a love heart shaped tub, with a mix of i reams, and two spoons.

Me and Sal found a little bench, which over looked the beach and sat down. He placed the tub in between us as we both took little spoonfuls of the flavours.
"Oh my god! This one is lush!" He said to me. He placed a little dollop on his spoon and fed it to me.
"Wow! It is. But this one is better" I said, offering a different flavour on my spoon which he ate off.
We sat there for a while just talking about random stuff.
"I have a question for you!" Sal said to me.
"Go on.." I replied, curious what he was going to ask.
"Favourite cupcake?" He asked me with a smirk.
"We'll say it together on 3!" I said. He nodded. "1...2...3.."
"Red velvet" we replied together. We both laughed.
"Great choice!" Sal said to me. "They do the best red velvet cakes over here!" He told me as he got u
And began walking. I quickly followed him. He walked into a 'seaside' dessert place. He got two red velvet cakes and we enjoyed them as we walked on. We were walking across the beach when I heard a 'snap' sound. I looked down to see my sandals broke.
"Great!" I muttered. I bent down to see if I could fix it but it was no use... they were broken.
"Are they broke?" Sal asked. I nodded and threw them in the nearest bin.
"Get on!" Sal said lowering himself to the sand.
"What?" I asked.
"Get on my back. I'll carry ya" he said. I felt really strange but I accepted the offer. I hopped on his back as he carried me around the beach.

He began running full speed into the sea.
"No Sal!" I playfully shouted. He gently let go of me and began to splash me with water. He was laughing hysterically. I began to splash him too. We were playing around in the sea for a while.

Jen's POV
"Where are Sal and Carly?!" I asked.
"I thought they were staying here!" Q said.
"Look. They are in the sea!" Murr pointed out.

Back to Carly's POV
I tripped Sal up in the sea, causing him to fall fully in, dragging me down with him. We kinda led there for a while. We saw the sun was beginning to set on the sea. We sat there admiring it, then we decided to leave.
"Maybe we should go back to the other guys. It's obviously getting late!" I said.
"I suppose" he said. He stood up, and we were face to face.
"I'm so sorry for getting your hair wet!" I apologised. I ran my fingers through his black hair.
"Eh, no problem. It was fun" he said. His hand was hovering over mine, until I grabbed hold of it. We held hands, and I rested my head on his shoulder as we walked back up to the other guys.
"Where have you two been?!" They all asked.
"We tried ringing, but you left your phones her!" Joe said.
"Sorry. We kinda went... everywhere!" Sal answered.
"Why are you both soaking?!" Murr asked. Me and Sal looked at eachother and began to laugh.
"We had a mini water fight" I answered. Q nudged Joe and they both glared down to mine and Sal's hands, as they were still connected. We saw them looking, so we both looked down and realised we were still holding hands and immediately let go.
"Are we ready to leave?" Murr asked everyone.
"Yeah" we all answered.

As we walked back to the cars, Joe, Bessy, Murr, Jen, and Q were all walking in a bug group, talking about the things they did together, but me and Sal stayed back on our own, walking behind.
"It was a fun day, one I'll remember forever!" I said to Sal.
"Definitely" Sal replied. He pulled me close to him as he wrapped his arm around me, and we walked back to the car.
