" What public space?, we are inside my car and this is my private space." His warm breathe gave her a tingling sensation on her neck.
" You know what I mean Jade. We can't do this here even if it's inside the car."
" So you mean to say that if we were alone somewhere, you would have allowed me to carry on. You are so so considerate sweetheart."
" I never said that. Don't make up stories from your imagination."
Jade chuckled. " Am not imagining things and why would I? I just said what you didn't get to voice out. And that kiss was your punishment for tricking me. I hope we could do that more often but no tricking next time."
Upon finishing his sentence, he kissed her neck before he let go of her. He looked at the shop front and said to her, " Let's go and see what we can get from there."
Phoenix nodded and proceeded to opening the car door. She looked around before hopping off. Touching the ground, her feet felt light and she wobbled a bit.
_ Was it that long since I sat down?.' _
The shop appeared girlish, making Jade hesitant to enter as he stood by the entrance. A female staff walked over when she noticed them outside. She plastered a friendly smile on her face as she ushered them in.
" Rainbow Giggles welcomes you and am Smiley Betty, your assistance for today." Smiley Betty gestured with her hand and lead them further into the shop. The duo entered into the rainbow coloured shop outlet which had a dominating pink and blue interior.
_ ' Childish. These are for Barbie dolls and unicorns._ Jade thought then a frown appeared on his face. _ ' It can't be that she still plays with Barbie dolls right?' _
Jade looked around before shifting closer to Phoenix. He whispered near her ear.
" Is this what you always dream about even when you are on your office chair? Mind you, you aren't a young child anymore and once you lose your teeth it won't grow back. Would you love it when everyone keeps away because of your toothless smile?"
" Am considered young and am my parents child so that makes me a young child. And, whether anyone becomes scared of my smile or not, well that shouldn't be a problem. Beauty lies within the eyes of the beholder, aren't I right? And you are my beholder. As long as you don't run away then we are set."
Jade just glanced at her before continuing surveying the shelves as they toured. It wasn't a big store but it sure had a great assortment of candies and desserts to savour.
" You know am correct. Without your teeth you will seem older than I. Just picturing that sure gives me the shivers." As he said this, he rubbed his arms as if he felt cold.
Phoenix rolled her eyes not saying anything. Realising that he had just been ignored, Jade pinched her waist lightly. This made her flinch, she moved away from him. She stood as she scanned the rows and rows of different sweets.
Smiley Betty standing a few metres away from the pair came assuming that they may need her aid. " Do you need any assistance ma'am?" She asked politely.
Phoenix shook her head as an indication that she didn't need any to which Betty backed away by a few steps. Phoenix's eyes shone with glee as she scanned the various appealing containers before her. She let out a cheeky laugh.
The candies varied from one box to the next. Sweet and sour, big and small, square or round, this shop had it all.
" What's your pick?" Standing beside her, Jade asked seeing her eyes dancing happily.
" Mhmmmm" Phoenix made a sound as if contemplating on something. She wanted them all but she was conflicted on which one to take. She knew Jade wouldn't let her buy much so she had to sacrifice.
" How about these ones?" She asked as she pointed to a few boxes.
" Is there some sort of a competitive festival that you have to attend or you hosting one?"
Competition??
Her mind became mixed up and her face showed confusion.
" What competition are you referring to?"
Jade simply pointed out at the candies without saying anything. He slightly lifted his left eyebrow as he glanced at her face.
" Aahhh, you mean this? Of course not. You know I can't consume all these unless I want to die. I just want a couple of these if not a few."
