How did I pray?

Chapter 9.

*^ life is not about what others have been through,
but about you. It's not how you see it but how you live it. Many come and go , but only few are engraved in our hearts and they last if not in our hearts but history.*^

Listen to Paradise by French Montana..

.....

      When the school authorities were informed about
Marcos' death, they contacted the police and his family immediately.
Marcos was the only child of his parents .
His mother wept, and Jade cried just as much.

They said they'd find the culprit and we know we'd have to wait a century if we depend on them.
With all these going on , we were allowed to officially skip school for 48hours because they thought we would be traumatized.. sighs

          Unfortunately, Mom has a busy schedule hence she's not going to be around that much. I decided to spend my day at Pepe's ice cream shop at least she'd tell me about another set of people who have fallen in love over a table of ice cream.

I text my friends but they would all like to stay in today, seems it's just me and my music today.
    I plug in my earphones and start trekking casually to Patty's, it's a relief it's just around the corner, some blocks away.

         As I take the next right down the alley , I bump into something.. or maybe someone really hard dropping my phone in the process, as I bend to pick it up, a familiar cologne washes over me , sadly I can't remember who.

I raise my head to apologize for bumping into the fellow, once again my mouth drops again for the second time we're meeting.
He gives a light smile and smirks , with a stretched hand he proceeds

" I'm Amenadiel, you are?"
I was still dumbstruck that he had to repeat himself.
  "Ehem uh .." I cleared my throat and said, I'm Cialara Genesis, nice meeting you.
I took his hand , and shifted as I noticed he was checking me out.
"Thank God , I had showered and did a little something before stepping out "
I praised myself mentally..
" excuse me,..he says and bringing me back to reality.

..you seem to get lost in your thoughts pretty much and he chuckles.
anyways where are your friends , he questions and my face drops a second there, but I'm quick to regain my composure.

They're just busy , I reply.
" oh I see" he says and I just nod making my way past him , but he beats me to it then blocks my view.

          "Would you like company ? he says but I shrug , look him up then down, and I turn him down.. but he insists and after sometime we're entering the ice cream shop and I hear the ding announcing our entry .

Patty's nowhere near the counter, my safest bet would be it's her day off work , or she's in the inner room * where all the best mixtures are kept.. breathes in .. Mmm  sighs*

I turn abruptly to follow Amenadiel as he leads the way to a secluded table at the far end of the room. I take the seat opposite him, hence facing him.
Then he does the most unexpected, he lowers his head and I see his cheeks get red in an instant, is he shy of me? As clumsy and awfully awkward as I am?
I begin a mental contemplation, in the process I hear my phone ringing , I pick it up and that's when I realized or actually looked at it after it fell.

There was just a single crack , not that a deal.. it continues ringing , I check who the caller is , it's mom , she just called to check up on me.
           Amenadiel gets my attention when he presses the buzzer , and in a few minutes the waitress, comes over for our orders . Just after, Patty comes over to our table from the inner room.

She pulls me into a hug, my ohh my.. she smells like wait what's the name hot chocolate * her specialty
and inquired of my friends, I just give a satisfying answer.
She turned to leave our table, but on second thought she turned to us again,

With a coy smile she started," you know this particular table is the oldest and the most paired up couple from this shop sat here, just like you guys..- she winks then proceeds , but it's a kinda magic only loves not in my destiny..

With a sad smile , she winks and in a flash she's on her heels.

          I turn to Amenadiel and say , " don't pay much attention to her, she's been like this for ages.
" hey Cia, he says , I look up to him , Can I call you Cia?" He questions

You just did, I answer with a playful smile on my face .
Our orders came pretty early , I took a big scoop into it , forgetting I had company..within seconds , I was done

I raise my head to meet Mr. Athlete staring at me in amusement.
What? I say , with my cheeks red in embarrassment.
" you're cute" he says under his breath and I just smile sheepishly.
" so what brings you to this part of the city ? I ask
He looks away , caressing his jaw as if in deep thoughts.. " thought of new environment " he says casually

"Oh oka..- " I'm not able to complete my sentence,
"Shh, enough for today. Shall we leave?"
he asks , already getting up in the process.

" Uhh alright sure " I say.
We step out of the shop and I clear my voice to show my appreciation for his company, but as I start to talk a certain wave of dizziness washes over me, causing me to lose my balance and stumbling into Amenadiel in the process.
"Cia?" he says but that's all I hear from him , and the
faint sound of the ding announcing our exit from Patty's.. nothingg , then everywhere was  in pitch darkness ..and the feeling of my legs giving away.
"sh!t, not this again"
I say under my breath as I finally drown in darkness..
