Status: It's complicated

Chapter 36: I'm sorry, don't cry for me.

Hello my friends! On the last chapter, Shirley told Liam that she will be inviting Julie and Anna, not just as guest but to be her bridesmaid! Alex had also confessed his feelings for Anna. Luckily, the two little ones made Anna and Alex less awkward by building those sandcastles. What a sweet moment! Let's continue..

This place, the ice cream shop again.. Alex did thought of changing their dessert destination but it was late and most shops have already closed. This was the only 24 hours ice cream shop that was near the area. Anna didn't want to disappoint the kids because of her own problem. She decided to make new memories with this shop and throw away the old ones.. She took a deep breath before stepping in to the ice cream shop, walking to a table that seats 4 people. The moment they settled down, Lilia chose a particular dessert..

" I want that!" Lilia pointed a picture on the menu as she swung her legs Impatiently, that was not long enough to touch the ground..

" Sweetie, I doubt you can finish," Alex told her honestly but she just pouted and pointed at the chocolate fondue. The 8 mini scoop ice cream with 4 cream puff, 4 marshmallow, 4 wafer, 4 macarons, 4 eclairs and some sliced up banana, some strawberries and cherries with it.. It was a big dessert for just 4 adults not to mention 2 adults and 2 children.

" But.. I want it," she pouted and she looked up at Anna, hoping that Anna could change Alex's mind because she was more likely to give in to her request as compared to Alex..

" It's okay Alex.. We can share.." She looked at the little girl who had now smiled widely..

" I'm a little full though.." Alex leaned back on the backrest.. The 4 had just had their dinner and now, he was about to eat the fondue. Just the thought of it could make him burp.. He placed his hand to his mouth, to cover his mouth when he burped slightly..

" I'll eat more!" Aaron was getting impatient as well. Aaron started to softly whine, Lilia who was beside him has hugged his arm and slightly tugging on it.. Anna chuckling at the children who are annoying him so that he would comply. This scene was adorable!

" Okay okay.." He put up both of his hand, signalling that he surrender.. They won.. He raised his hand and told the waiter their order. It was less than ten minutes when the fondue set was served in front of them. Anna's eyes widen a little at that sight..

" It's bigger than what was shown on the picture" She laughed a little as she voiced out her thoughts.. Alex simply smiled and passed the spoons around the table.. Anna took small spoonful of strawberry ice cream, placing it near Alex's mouth..

Luckily it's no longer awkward for them.

" Alex.. you must help too.." Since Anna was opposite him, it was easy to feed him and without hesitation, he opened his mouth and leaned nearer to take in that particular sweet dessert..

" So sweet!" Alex started to blush when Aaron giggled and teased the couple.. He cleared his throat and tried to change the topic..

" Where do you guys wanna go after this?" Alex asked them .. This question was enough to make them excited.. The thought that they don't need to be home even though it was dark outside excites them and there were so many other things that they want to do. The two kids started talking and planning by themselves, all hyped up at voicing out where they would like to go and do. It was really adorable ..

" My dear, are you forgetting the time?" Anna said as she pointed at her watch that reads 10:05 pm. Oh dear.. Yes, Alex has forgotten about it because he just wanted to change the topic.

" Alright honey.. Calm down first. It's late today but we will come out again alright?" He was lucky that the children were getting tired. They just smiled and nodded, eating their ice cream..
