CHAPTER SIX: COOL N' SWEET

We got to the entrance of the mall. As we walked in, cool air was bursting, spreading the smell of Luke's cologne. I looked up at him to see if he noticed it. He didn't, but he caught me staring, so he smiled. I smiled back and looked away quickly and awkwardly.

"Why are you suddenly being quiet and awkward? Haha," Luke said while teasingly hooking his arm around my shoulders and pulling me in.

"Haha I dunno. I guess the heat got to me. We were walking in the heat for a while."

"Yeah that's true. But we're inside now, and the air is pretty cool. If you're still hot then why don't we get ice cream? That should cool us down a bit more," he said smiling.

"Sure! Why don't we then. That sounds good right now," I said as I pulled his arm off of me. Instead, I held his hand.

He looked down at our hands together, then looked back up to me. "Great! C'mon let's go. I know where a good ice cream place is in this mall." He gripped my hand tighter, then started running. I almost tripped, but I managed to run his pace. We were running around in the mall for a while. I was starting to get tired. Finally, Luke slowed down. "Here it is!"

I looked up at the sign. The store is called 'Cool N' Sweet', and the logo is a blue scoop of ice cream and a pink scoop, both in one big cone. The blue has sunglasses and a smirk on his face, and the pink has a bow, cute little eyelashes, and the cutest smile. It reminded me so much of me and Luke. "Haha great! *pants* L-Let's go inside."

"Oh are you out of breath? It's fine. Just sit down over there. I'll get us something."

"Are you sure? I'm fine. I could go with you," I insisted. We walked over to a table for two. He ran ahead of me so that he could pull out a chair for me. What a gentleman haha. I sat down and smiled. "Why thank you, my fine sir," I said jokingly.

"Ah haha yes! Anything for the princess, my dear," he said back as he pushed my chair in for me. He winked at me, then left to go order for us. I started blushing like crazy. He called me "princess" and "my dear". Oml.

Soon enough, he came back with two milkshakes. "Sorry. They some how ran out of cones. I got us the same thing, chocolate chip cookie dough milkshakes. I wasn't sure what you liked, so I got my favorite hoping that you'd like it." He handed one to me.

"Thanks, Luke. You're the best" I took a sip of it. It was really good, so I kept on drinking it.

"What do you think?" he asked, waiting for my answer.

"It's really good! It's better than my favorite," I said smiling (A/N: Dafuq why you guys always smiling 😂😂😂)

"That's great!" We were drinking our milkshakes, quietly and peacefully. "Sooooo..."

"Sooo," I said back. We ran out of things to say.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked. (A/N: See what I did there Lerin? -.• )

"Uhmmm I dunno. Wanna just walk around?" I asked. My foot was starting to fall asleep.

"Sure, let's go." He got out of his seat and offered his hand to help me up. I held his hand, got up, and we started walking. We were still holding hands.

(A/N: I finally decided to start writing again. I almost forgot how fun it is to write. I feel like this was a bit of a surprise for you guys (Lerin, Ina, and whoever else is reading this.) I write a bit different than I did before in the previous chapters. Let me know what you guys think. Like stuff I should keep or change about my writing style.)
