Des's POV

"She's-She's-"

I turned pale at the ugly thoughts flashing through my thoughts. Could she have died? No, that's no possible!

My breathing became shallow as my palm sweated.

"She's-what?"

My voice was barely audible as Percy looked away.

"I. She. I'm so, so sorry for your loss Percy."

Percy's head perked up and stared at my sorrowful eyes in pure surprise.

Then, he burst out laughing.

"Oh gosh, no Des! She isn't dead! Oh my gosh! You-you thought she died? No!"

At first I couldn't process what he said but I caught on.

Percy slowly explained to me how Madelyn was an 'item' with the doctor who had saved her, Trent. I laughed along soon enough. I was happy for Maddy.

--------one hour later-------
"Okay, dearies! Here's your jolly ice cream. Now if you excuse me, this old gal gotta go!"

Patricia left us alone with a huge bowl of ice-cream.

Oh, you heard me right.

'A' bowl. I had to share with Percy.

And worse, Patricia put a heart shape decoration on top of the sundae. I blushed terribly again. Taking a peep at Percy's face, I saw that he was already licking off the whipped cream.

"Hey! Dibs on the cream!"

He smirked at me and took a big scoop out of the whipped cream again. I exaggerated a gasp and pulled his spoon so that it couldn't reach his open mouth.

It was hard considering the table was quite big and our project was right under the spoon. Percy took that perfect moment to take the other spoon and ate a big bite of the sundae.

I slapped his arm playfully but he won and ate the whipped cream either ways. We fought jokingly and betted on who could eat more.

Obviously, Percy won.

He threw his arms in the air victoriously. I giggled madly at the chocolate stain on his nose.

"You've got a little something there."

He tried desperately of look and lick his nose but to no avail. He looked ridiculous.

I burst into laughing fits again while standing up.

I took a tissue and held his chin up with my free hand. Wiping the stain of his nose gently, I couldn't help but glance into his electrifying blue eyes. I couldn't look away.

We stayed that way for a while, just staring at each other. My chest fluttered and familiar warmth was spread throughout my body.

Finally, I cleared my throat and sat back down. Percy looked disappointed but tried to cover it up.

"So...uhmm... What about aliens again?"

I smiled at his question.

"Yeah, we were just on the part when George Washington was going to adopt one."

Percy cracked up a little smile again which gave me little joy. Then, the bell hung by the door rang.

This would have been normal but the gruesome voice I heard afterwards stated otherwise.

"My, my, my, look what we have here."
