"I'm sorry. Please don't be angry with me." Link said with sadness all over his face.
"I'm not. It's just talking about her pisses me. You know I can't be angry with you." I said patting his head slowly and with a small smile.
He was looking at me and so was I when the waitress brought the order. She kept them on the table and left. But why was she smiling when she looked at us? I quickly took my hand from Link's head and gave him his ice cream.
"You sure about this Link?" I said making a whimsical face.
"About what?" Link asked looking at me with confusion.
"The ice cream. You sure about eating that?" I asked with a worried tone.
My weird expression towards him changed to worry when I saw the chocolate sauce dripping down the ice cream.
"Of course. What's wrong in that?" He asked. Is he acting stupid or is he actually stupid?
"You're asking what's wrong?. Dude everything's wrong in it. Who on earth eats butterscotch ice cream with chocolate sauce?" I said looking at that ice cream. It even looks weird.
"The one who's sitting right in front of you." Link said with a big smile.
"You sure wanna eat it?" I asked again.
"Yup." He answered with confidence in his voice.
"I hope you won't get diarrhea," I said looking at him.
"I'm strong. You have to try everything Kiet, that's when you will know if it's good or bad. You would be wrong to judge something by looking at it." He said while taking a scoop full of ice cream with chocolate sauce and caramel crunches.
"Link," I said with a stern voice. I know what he's talking about and even he knows that too.
"I'm saying it out in general."
"I believe your words," I said and took a scoop full of my chocolate ice cream.
I saw Link tasting the ice cream. The moment he kept it in his mouth his face changed, eyes closed and eyebrows scrunched up.
"It tastes bad isn't it?" I asked.
"mmm... no. It's too cold." He said in between his chewing.
"Who told you to eat that much at once"
"But it tastes good. Here have some." He said stretching his hand holding a spoon full of ice cream.
"I better not. You have weird food tastes." I declined the offer.
"C'mon Kiet. It sure tastes delicious. Just a bite." He said while his hand with ice cream spoon closer.
"Okkay. But I will take it." I said while moving my head aside.
"Fine." Link shrugged his shoulders and ate the ice cream he tried to feed me.
It's not like I hate him feeding me or something. It's just I hate all the feeding thing. Don't ask me why cos even I don't know the answer. Maybe it's because it looks lovey-dovey and I fear I might like the person in front of me. We don't know how we think of the next second, but I don't wanna take any chances.
When it comes to Like... Yeah, I do like Link, but no in the way you think. It's just like like, not love like. I like him as a brother and not anything more. When it comes to which gender you like, I don't know, or maybe the right answer will be I will never know, cos I won't love anyone.
Keeping all these thoughts aside, I took the spoon from my ice cream cup and took a small portion of butterscotch ice cream. I may get diarrhea from it but I have to eat, or else he won't leave me. Link will whine all the way home about me not eating the ice cream. I sighed and brought the spoon closer to my mouth.
I kept the ice cream in my mouth and after a while I got the taste of the ice cream, and..... it was good like Link was right, I mean only in this matter.
"It tastes good, isn't it? I knew you like it." Link said with a big happy smile.
"And how do you know that I like it? It doesn't taste that good." I asked trying to keep the stern face.
"Why lie when you aren't good at it?" Link said looking at me.
"Lying? no, I'm not. It really tastes average." I said trying to hold back my smile that the ice cream made.
Link leaned back on his chair and folded his hands towards his chest and spoke a bit with a serious tone.
"Kiet, I know the smile you make when you like something. Don't try to fool me."
"Damn it. You know too well about me." I said bringing back the smile on my face.
"No one knows you better than I know. So, next time don't try to play games." He said with a small serious tone.
I sure think he has split personality disorder. He was acting like a kid a second ago and now he's talking all matured.
"Do I smile different than others when I like something?" I asked. I mean it should be the only reason Link noticed my change right.
"Nope, but you are a special one." Link said with a small unusual smile.
"You mean peculiar?" I asked.
"Both are the same."
"C'mon Link, you know me. I'm no special to anyone."
"Maybe not for anyone, but you're special to me Kiet."
"I'm happy, at least you think I'm special," I said with a smile.
"And you will always be." Link said while taking a scoop of chocolate ice cream.
