A Different Kind of Addiction - COMPLETE

Sweet Scoops

Yeah. I am supposed to be working but screw line school. Chapter 15

Toni POV

I watch Mika as she jogs back into the changing room. I am suddenly confronted by a guy with a bright sparkly baseball cap on.

"Hi there. I am Jason" he says putting his hand out. I take his hand while saying nothing.

"I am a good friend of Mika's and she seems to have feelings for you." I still look at him without saying anything. I begin staring at him pointedly. I can see him start to get nervous under my gaze.

"Umm. Well I knew that she liked someone well known but I didn't know that she was famous like you." he continued with a shaking voice. I continue to stare at him. And he starts to visibly tremble and unable to take his eyes away from mine.

"Okay Tee can you try not to intimidate my co-workers" I hear coming from the other side of the room. I smile at Jason and finally say

"I'm Toni." He nods and squeaks at the back of his throat. I smile even wider and say

"It was nice meeting you Jason, we'll meet again I suppose." he nods and squeaks again as I get up and walk over to Mika. She stares at me wide eyed and then looks back at Jason who is still looking very scared.

"How did you do that?" she asks me. I laugh and kiss her cheek. 

"Come on lets go shortcake." I put my arm around her shoulder and walk with her out the door, but not before I lean over to Jason and whisper in his ear

"I know where you live" he immediately runs into a different room. I laugh loudly as Mika hits me in the stomach. At first I think she is mad but I look down at her and she is smiling. We get outside and we turn right. 

"Where are we going Toni." she says to me.

"I missed you today. You are really pretty when you sleep, your eyes flutter and you smile a lot. When I was about to leave you wouldn't let me go for like 5 minutes." I say looking straight ahead.

"It is a little weird that you watch me sleep." she says simply.

"Well I couldn't work out if I was dreaming or not and thought that I was going to open my eyes and I would be alone." I say still taring straight ahead of me. I am suddenly pushed into an alleyway and pinned against a wall roughly. Two hands grab me at the back of my head and pull me towards their lips. I am being kissed possessively in an alleyway. 

Mika pulls back and looks me straight in the eyes. 

"I assure every moment of last night was real." I smirk at her fully convinced.

"Well someone more confident." She pulls back flushing and says

"Yeah well you are rubbing off on me." I chuckle and grab her hand. I intertwine our fingers and lean down, looking straight into her eyes.

"I like it. I like everything you do." I pull her out of the alley and continue walking down the street holding her hand tightly. I look at her out of the corner of my eyes and she is blushing furiously but looking triumphantly as well. 

We walk up to the front of an ice-cream parlour called Sweet Scoops.

"Do you like ice-cream?" I ask her.

"Of course. Who doesn't?" she says jumping up and down slightly. I smile at her. She gets excited so quickly. 

"Good. Lets go then." I bow as I open the door for her and she curtsies as she walks in the parlour. I walk in after her and she kinds a table by the window. We sit opposite one another. A waiter brings us menus and we look through.

"You can have whatever you want and however much you want princess." I look at her and she nods gratefully. We sit in a comfortable silence stealing glances at one another every once in a while.

The waiter comes back

"Hello there lovely ladies, have you decided what you would like yet?" he asks. I don't like this guy. He keeps looking at Mika for long periods of time.

"Um yeah. Can I have a Medium Oreo Cookie Dough with vanilla ice cream and a strawberry slushy with those bubbles at the bottom please." Mika says politely

"Medium Oreo cookie dough, vanilla ice cream with a strawberry bubble slush. Yup and you." he says turning to me after smiling at Mika.

"Can I have a Large Triple Choc Cookie Dough with 2 scoops of vanilla ice-cream and a blue-raspberry bubble slush."

"Right okay then. Isn't that a lot for just you two girls." the waiter says eyeing us wearily. Mika instantly becomes aggravated

'I'm sure we can handle it.' she says sarcastically and the waiter scurries off.

"I don't like him. He kept looking at you." I say angrily

"People look at me all the time."

"Yeah well not like that. I didn't like it at all." she reaches across the table and kisses me on the cheek and side of the mouth.

"I didn't notice or care. I was looking at you." I smile as she says this. I wasn't jealous I just didn't like it. 

"So umm Mika. I was wondering if I could ask you something." I say not looking at her. She looks up from her phone and says

"Yeah okay go on." I watch her put her phone down and look at me intently

"When I first saw you, you were buying one of my favourite drinks in the rain. I thought you were very pretty. Then over the next couple of week, the ones when I wasn't in a coma, I got to know you and I realised that you are beautiful. You don't need make-up or a tight dress or an expensive hairstyle for me to notice you. I can immediately tell where you are in a room that I walk in because your smile is something I can't seem to forget. I love everything about you from your hair down to your always pedicured nails. I love how your nose scrunches up when you are thinking, how you hands shake lightly at your sides when you are angry and when you are stressed you like to sit cross legged with your headphones on. Ever since we met I have felt happier, I feel like I have reason to get up every morning. I live for your humour, sarcasm and your contagious laugh. I am not even going to mention that fantastic body of your because that is a whole other story. You have become my addiction. And I have no intention on giving you up any time soon, I love you too much for that. So I was wondering if you would want to be my girlfriend officially and publicly?"

I look her straight in her eyes as I say this and I see her tear up at my words. I stand up and hold her hands looking at her. She was flushing with her mouth open and tears rolling down her cheeks. I use my thumb to wipe her tears and she reaches up to kiss me. Softly and sweetly compared to alley. After a minute she pulls back, I am still holding her hands

"So can I take that as a yes?" I say. She hits my shoulder playfully and say

"Yes you idiot. That means yes. And for the record I love you too" She leaps into my arms hugging me tightly, tears still falling down her face. I hug her back wit a big grin on my face, a real grin.

In that moment I feel the happiest I have felt since before my brother died. 

Holy shit please don't be a dream.
