When Neptune meets Earth

XXIII

' Eh, this place is nice,' Faith says while looking around at the place and rolling her eyes.

I rolled my eyes too and said,' Why do you girls always want some beautiful scenery to be around you? This place is nice too. Peaceful. And beauty is something that we feel and not see,' I said while wriggling my eyebrows.

I know, this wasn't the best place but still, it wasn't that bad too.

Faith shrugged and said while sitting beside me on the bonnet of a car,' But still, what do you see here? In a place where just junk cars are there all around?'

I smiled, genuinely smiled at her and said,' Sometimes you just need to feel. It isn't the best place from where a beautiful landscape is visible but still, we can see many other things here.'

Faith raised her eyebrow while giving me a small smirk and said,' Like?'

I rolled my eyes and said with a smile,' Like, it depends us to find peace and see the beauty in anything. If someone's been to juvenile then it doesn't mean that they are not safe to be around or they are cruel. Maybe there would be some specific reason as to why they went there. And, it doesn't mean that a person who might be doing drugs is useless. There's still some talent of that person hidden inside that person.'

I looked up to see Faith smiling at me as she said,' Woah...I never thought that you were the type of person, who might thing like this.'

' Well, but I can. Oh, Ms Hall! You have so many misconceptions about me!,' I said while putting a hand on chest.

Faith smacked my hand on my chest, lightly and said while nodding her head,' Yeah maybe, your right.'

I scoffed and said,' Of course, I am!'

' Now, don't go all egoistic person in front of me,' she said while rolling her eyes.

I laughed and said,' So, Ms Faith, do you have faith in God?'

Faith frowned and said,' Why do you always have make my mood go all down?'

' Because you look at me rather than anyone else while you are angry,' I blurted out immediately, shocking both Faith and myself.

Her lips parted as she said,' What?'

I shook my head while looking away and said,' Oh no, nothing. I was just- hey! Wanna go for ice cream?,' and tried to change the topic.

I saw Faith open her mouth to say something but she didn't and just nodded her head while a small blush came on her face.

I stoop up and said while giving her my hand,' Come on, let's go then!'

Faith looked at my hand before holding it.

The moment Faith touched my hand, I felt like I wanted to keep holding her hand like.

I shook my head lightly, trying to remove all these senseless thoughts from my head.

Fifteen minutes later, we were standing in front of a ice cream van.

We went there and saw a boy of around twenty behind the counter.

He said,' Hello to you two! Which I've creams would you like?,' while looking at Faith.

I frowned as he kept looking at her while Faith was looking at me with a raised eyebrow to ask me which ice cream I wanted.

I cleared my throat and said,' Uh, I would like chocolate.'

Faith chuckled lightly beside me.

I rolled my eyes and said,' What? There's nothing to laugh in that. I love chocolate!'

' Really? I didn't see you like the type of guy who would go for chocolate,' she said while giggling.

I winked at her and said,' Well, you don't know many things about me, love! Now, come on, your turn, which one would you like?'

Faith rolled her eyes while going for mango ice cream.

I took out my purse to pay when Faith said with a gasp,' Woah...how is this possible? Mr. Hadrian Reed and so nice?'

I rolled my eyes and said,' I am, as I said, you don't know many things about me, love.'

' Eh! Don't call me love. Plus, let me pay for myself,' Faith said while glaring at me.

I rolled my eyes again as I said,' Okay, as you wish Redfurs. Come on! You just said that I was being nice in front of you for the first time. Let me pay. End of discussion now.'

Faith rolled her eyes, knowing that she can't say anything now.

We were leaving when suddenly the guy behind the counter said as he winked at Faith,' Hey hon! May I know your name?'

I glared at her and said,' Her name's Hope. Happy? Go back to your work now. It's none of your busy.'

The guys looked downwards at the counter while Faith looked at me with surprise and a slight blush on her face.

And that slight blush made her look so damn cute-

No, wait. It isn't like that. She looked so weird in that blush that I wanted to look at anything but her face.
