As she walked closer and closer towards my table, my legs started to feel like jelly. My eyes were like the jack-pot whirling. What do I do!!!
'Hey, your ice cream seems to have spilled " Her voice was silky and smooth. I suddenly felt my throat dry.
I lick my lips as I stammered " oh ye.. ye.. yes"
" Should I ask for another one? You seem to be enjoying your ice cream. " She smiled gently making her look so warm, and seductive at the same time. How is that even possible!!
" Huh, another one? " I hesitate.
I didn't have enough money for another one and was not at all ready to embarrassed myself. So I opened my mouth to reject.
" It will be on the house. " she said as if reading my mind.
" oh, ok. " I replied instantly.
She glided smoothly along the table as she went towards the kitchen.
What have I done! I have completely fool myself in front of her instead of being chill. Now she will think I am some old cheap stake!!!
I should have held my head high, gracefully reject the offer and then left. I was angry and disappointed at myself.
To make up for the embarrassment, I straightened my clothes and slight my hands through my frizzy hair, as I heard footsteps coming from behind .
I gave my most seductive smile and turned as I said "Thank you."
"You are welcome, Madam. " the cute waiter replied.
I was filled with sudden wave of loneliness. I sat melancholic as I ate my cold, cold ice cream.
I don't know if it was my ice cream, but my heart felt cold and frozen as I walked up the tiny hill towards my nesting ground on a hot dry autumn day.
Buzz, buzz.. my phone showed a text from Esha. 'hope u are not lazing around. I have completed with the notes preparation, lets exchange our notes. I will drop by around six in the evening. P. S. I am expecting you are also almost done as well no excuses to be entertained. .'
Eeeeehhh... I have started on the topic but I haven't finished it yet. I have still two hours to go, before Esha drops by. I rushed inside and sat down with all my necessary books and pens.
Buzz, buzz...I extended my hand and fiddle for my phone. When I suddenly woke up, with pieces of papers sticking to my face, I didn't know when I felt asleep!!!
'oh no, no, no... If its Esha, I am done for, she'd give me a good long lecture before receiving my next notes from her again! ' I panicked. For lazy person like me, I love a helping hand or two for my exams.
I was very anxious as I opened the message to read
' Sorry, Ash I won't be able to make it today for exchanging the notes. Mom's not keeping well. Lets meet tomorrow. ' Esha' s text read.
I was so relieved. I flop my head down and continue with my nap.
Growl, grumble... I hold on to my empty stomach and got up, grouchy after my long nap.
It was already dark outside. I poured warmed water into my instant noodle cup which was my dinner.
Sometimes Esha, seems to know me too well. I was so lonely after the event at the candy land. But after the work up from Esha, I was feeling slightly better as I was distracted from all the unnecessary thoughts.
I hate exams!!If only I can read only the answers to the questions. I groan.
