Against society [AMBW]

13.Society's Dynamics

W2~Saturday

"Girl, I'm talking about the fact that you're with an Oriental. You think dating them is some trend or movement. But you just look dumb! What are my kids supposed to look up to? People like you. Hell to the no!" She points at her kids in the pushchair.

"You're just messing society's dynamics. Why can't you stick to your own kind? You're nothing but a traitor..."

Adrian shakes his head and opens his mouth, "What the he-"

But before his mouth could start verbally shitting at the lady I interrupt him.

"Excuse me lady." I put a hand up to her, staying calm and collected. "Who are you?"

"I-W-Why are you-"

"In fact, do you know me?" I say gently.

"W-Well... no... but-" I smile shaking my head.

"Ok." Adrian and the lady look at me confused as if I was suddenly growing a second head."Ok, so you do not know me. But you felt the need to get in my business. You're trying to tell me who I can and cannot talk to. You're trying to question the example I'm setting to your kids."

I burst out laughing, "And you don't even know me! That's what's funny! If anything you should worry about the example you're  setting to your children. Harassing two people with questions just because they are hanging out with each other. The amount of sense that makes is astounding!"

"B-but-I'm so-" she attempts to stutter but I stop her for the final time.

"Stop. Don't apologise to me. You don't mean it, you just feel dumb after what I said. I have that effect. But what I want you to do.... is re- asses the example you're giving them and give them your heart not your government program."

The lady hesitantly nods and leaves the shop with her pushchair. My eyes pivot back to Adrian who's eating his disgusting toffee ice cream with a small side smirk planted on his face.

"Toffee?" His side smirk now coverts to a mischievous smile.

"Yes sprinkles!" He beams whilst I roll my eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" I take another scoop of ice cream.

"What's a government program?"

"I made it up, but I believe it's the concept of the government programming what we're supposed to believe for their benefit."

"Oh. I'm still shocked, though."

"About?"

"I'm shocked that you actually sounded somewhat smart when talking to the lady. I never knew you had it in you." He chuckles.

"Look I'm not just a pretty face." I reach across to try his toffee.

He tries to do the same but I swat his hand away from my pot. Foolish goat!

"Hey! How can you get some of mine but I can't get some of you-" I feel the need to stop him just so I can fluster him.

"Wow, Toffee. I'm flattered, very much so, but you can't get some of me without earning it." I smile as he rolls his eyes.

I was about to put the scoop into my mouth before I dunk it into my strawberry ice cream, just for the sprinkles.

"Look, toffee and sprinkles." I giggle placing it in my mouth. I smile and roll my eyes back cause the flavour.... the flavour was immaculate.
