Crush

another time for ice cream

We walked about a foot away from each other but with every step the space between us got smaller.

" Why did Andrew go to your house?"

" I don't know?" I shrugged.

" Didn't you break up?"

I debated whether I should tell him," Well we never actually dated. We were pretending for reasons I can't really remember or understand."

" Oh wow you guys are good actors, are you sure it was ALL fake."

" Well... I guess you could say we started catching feelings near the end but now I realize it was one sided."

" That ass.... That confirms he is a dumbass."

I chuckled at his comment because I did agree.

" The worst thing is he still tries to get close to you!"

" I know right but ah I got over him."

" Good for you."

We walked a bit more and arrived. Grayson like ways held the door for me. I walked into the air conditioned store and fortunately there weren't any people.

Grayson ordered for us while I grabbed a table. I chose one near the window.

He came back with both ice creams and sat down across from me.

I grabbed my hand in the other and cracked every finger.

" Wow, is that all you got?!" He chuckled.

He grabbed his hand in his own and cracked the entire knuckle.

I giggled and cracked my wrist. He smiled and grabbed his jawline and quickly pushed it. The cracking on his bone followed right after. His whole head fell on the table.

" Grayson.... Are you ok? Did you accidentally kill yourself?" I asked knowing he didn't.

I tickled the back of his neck and he shot up.

" Ah c'mon you didn't fall for it!" He groaned.

" How did you do that?!"

" It's easy." He then twisted his head and even more of his boned cracked.

I twisted mine on received nothing.

He chuckled before scooping his ice cream and eating a spoonful.

I did the same.

" Remember when I hit your face with the basketball and dropped your ice cream!! That was gold you looked hilarious." He laughed harder.

I crossed my arms," I remember and you brought me here to buy me another."

" And we ate the peanut butter cup at the same time!"

I smiled at the memory and nodded.

" It was so long ago."

" Yeah."

" How's life for you?" He asked.

I swallow my ice cream," Well I mean school is good I made up with Veronica. But Andrew is still here so it's ok."

" Interesting."

" How about you?"

" Thanks to you I stopped seeing so many girls, we're almost done with the project and we won the season so really good."

" What do you mean thanks to me?"

" Well... Um you know."

" No I don't."

" You made me realize it wasn't worth it and to instead focus my time on finding one specific person whom I care about."

"Good for you Grayson or should I say Gray?"

" I like that."

" Gray it is."
