Time Away

Jealous

Diggy once again opened my door for me and took my hand as we walked into Friendly's. "Why so fancy?" I asked. I mean it's Friendly's, who does that?

"I wanted it to be a nice ice cream place."

"That's really sweet of you. But uh.. Kiwi-yogurt and or 3B's suits just fine if you ever get this idea again." I said in a matter-of-factly tone.

" Duly noted." He said pretending to check off on something in the air. I smiled.

"What's your favorite kind of ice cream?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Ooh! Mint chocolate chip!" I said, a little too excitedly. He laughed at my eagerness. "I hear you loud and clear Princess." He winked.

"What did I tell you about that Simmons? I can't date you if your sole purpose is to kill me."

"I'd prefer you say I was 'taking your breath away'." he said sarcastically.

"Sweet on the judge huh? I hope you get more time on your sentence."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll get off with a warning."

You roll your eyes saying "So what's your favorite ice cream flavor?"

"Vanilla." He said plainly. Ew.

"Basic nigga." I mumble under my breath.

"Excuse me! Wow! You're petty." He said waving his hands at me, like Drake does in his videos.

"Me? What did I say?" I tried playing it off but he definitely heard me loud and clear that time.

"Whatever. You're basic for not liking vanilla! With your basic outfit." He snapped his fingers in the sassiest way possible.

"But you said you liked it." I said tearing up a little, jokingly.

"Actually I really do." He said as he played footsies with me under the table.

"Get your feet off me! The waitress is coming." He laughed, doing as he was told.

"Hi! How are- OH MY GOODNESS!!" She quickly hushed herself. "Hi Diggy Simmons!! You're so much more handsome in person. I love your song Copy, Paste. You with no shirt? Woo-whee!" She fanned herself. At some point during this little fan girling session I had realized she planted herself by him and dreamily stared into his eyes as she finished. I coughed to catch their attention. I'm still here bitch. "Umm.. Ma'am-"

"Melissa."

"Melissa, this is my lovely date Sloane." I do a silent wave and smile nonchalantly. I'll do it. I'll kill her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Hey Sloane." I shot a bit of a nasty look. Sorry, not sorry.

"I'm just a big fan! Umm.. What can I get you guys?" Diggy smiled at me. I'm pretty sure he caught that look. Shit.

"Vanilla ice cream for me, mint chocolate chip for the lady. In bowls please."

"Coming right up sir!" She saluted and walked away.

"You're jeeeeaaaallllooouuuussssss!" he dragged out the word in a sing song tone.

"Shutup. no I'm not." I crossed my arms, looking off at another table, avoiding his gaze.

"Mhm. Girl you lying." Again, he said in a sassy tone. I laughed a little but quickly stopped myself and said "whatever. Tell 'Melissa' to hurry with our ice cream." He definitely caught my jealousy that time.

"Jeeeaalllooouuussss!" He said again, a little lower in tone. I didn't mean to, but I don't want this girl flirting with him in my face! He's got one focus and that's me, I hope. "Aww Sloane." He came around to my side of the booth and wrapped his arms around me to comfort. "You're mine, don't worry about Melissa."

"Oh really? Mine, as in girlfriend?"

"Mine as in girlfriend." He said, kissing my forehead. We stayed like that in peace til Melissa came back.

"Hello to the cute couple! Here's your ice cream! By the way, great choice Sloane. Mint chocolate chip is delicious." She winked at me. Okay maybe she's a sweet girl. "Oh, and Daniel do you mind signing my shirt?"

"Yeah sure." he removed himself from me and took the sharpie from her, signing on her back. Careful Simmons. After he finished he gave her a hug and sat back down, wrapping his arm around me again. Once she left I brushed his arm off. "Petty!" He said laughing.

"Fine. My bad." I pull his arm around me again. then I mumble "Sorry, not sorry." He heard and playfully shoved me.

What a date.
