Ice cream flavour

A short story about a girl, who describes everything with ice cream flavours.

"He is like hot chili chocolate," I mumbled, when I saw a boy lining up to get himself an ice cream cone. He was wearing dark brown boots covered in mud, a leather jacket over a dark grey cashmere pullover and he looked so out of place that he just fitted in right.

"Excuse me what?" that same boy asked me turning around.

"Hot chili chocolate," I repeated, trying to sound confident and like I hadn't lost my mind for comparing him to the most popular summer treat.

"The ice cream flavour?" he then wanted to know and I could hear the irritation in his voice.

"Yes."

"Well then you are like sweet strawberry," that guy told me, while starring into my eyes.

Irritation now got a hold of me and I furrowed my brow. "But I hate strawberry ice cream!"
