Summer Time Chapter 21 - Ice Cream with Leo
After a while I asked, "You want to get some ice cream maybe?"
"I don't know-" Leo started to speak but I interrupted.
"I know you don't know my neighborhood!" I laughed. "Come on!"
I dragged him through the streets until we came to a small plaza.
"Wait..." Leo seemed confused. "Is this the-"
I covered his mouth before he could say what I knew he would say. "Shh...and yes" I whispered to him.
"Now" I face Leo. "You're my best friend and you're my neighbor on Willberry Street. Got it?"
"What's-"
"Got it!?"
"Yes! I got it!"
"Good...let's go!" We walk into a white shop that sells ice cream.
"Hello, Miss!" I say in my sweetest voice. A lady turns to face me and Leo.
"Leo this is Miss Evelyn," I say to him.
"Hello, again Leah!" Miss Evelyn smiles at me.
"Hello, Miss! This is my neighbor Leo!"
"Really?" Leo nods in response.
"Keeping up with your 'plan' I see..." I ignore Redwood.
"Ok, what kind of ice cream would you like? All the flavors are over here." She points to a lot of flavors of ice cream behind a magical glass protector.
"The usual please!" I say with a smile.
"Alright, how about your friend?"
Leo stares as he looks at all the flavors. "Can I have this one? It looks good." Leo asks me as he points to the dark chocolate moose.
"Alright then! Leo would like the chocolate moose to please!"
"Coming right up!" Miss Evelyn says. She turns and starts getting the ice cream.
"Here I'll pay," Leo says as he starts to take out some wizard's coins from his pocket.
"No..." I whisper and put his hand back in her pocket. "This is the muggle world remember?"
"Oh..." Leo sighs.
"I'll pay." I reach into my white bag and bring out 8 dollars. That's what the muggles use.
Miss Evelyn gives us the ice cream with spoons in little cups.
"Eight dollars?" I ask her.
"Right once again! You're very good." Miss Evelyn smiles. "Say hi to your father for me!"
"I will," I say as I give her the money. Leo and I both go outside to sit on one of the nearby benches.
"What's your 'usual'?" Leo asked once we sat down.
"One scoop of mint chocolate chip and one scoop of orange sherbert topped with sprinkles."
"Nice...I guess"
"Here. I know it's your first time trying the muggle ice cream." I whispered and put a spoonful of both scoops of ice cream into his bowl.
"Really? Thanks!" Leo gratefully tried it. "It's pretty good!"
I laughed as he started eating the chocolate moose.
"This one's really good!" Leo smiled. I started eating as well.
