Chapter 29 - Night Market

Leonardo is fascinating with the crowd. So many people pour the street not far from Jasmine's house. A night market is held every weekend night, the middle-low entertainment.

Bright tiny bulb lights twinkle in each stall. Leonardo sees several young couples dancing with happiness. They are holding hands and twisting with all they might. They follow the pleasant mix of sounds from the guitar, ukulele, drum, and maracas. Every woman wears a red skirt with a flared bottom, spinning with them as they dance.

"Welcome to my lousy world, Young Master!" Jasmine says with an overstatement. Leonardo is still enjoying the cheerful atmosphere around him.

Indeed, Cheers of joy and laughter greet Leon and Jasmine. Leonardo had never felt a kind of entertainment like this before. He is excited to visit the night market not far from Jasmine's house. Jasmine takes Leon around her housing area to the folk entertainment, playing rides, trying to eat street food, rocking, and waking up. Laughing and full of joy regardless of anything.

Jasmine looks beautiful in raped jeans with a high waist style, combined with a ruffled top with a shoulder-less style. As for Leon, he wears a black long-sleeved tight t-shirt, long jeans, and limited edition Nike Jordan shoes, only 50 in the world.

"Try this, Leon!!" Jasmine buys food from a street food stall. Leonardo looks happy and wondering at the same time, and this is the first time he eats street food while standing.

Leonardo takes one slice of BBQ meat from the pepper plate in Jasmine's hand. Without hesitation, he puts it in his mouth.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Leon exclaims, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"Really?! What did I say! Good food doesn't have to be expensive." Jasmine joins Leonardo in chewing the BBQ meat.

"You're right, Baby. Eat all you want. I'll buy it for you." Leon smiles, seeing his beloved girl look happy makes him happy too.

"Really?? Okay! I will eat a lot!!" Jasmine runs to one and the other food stalls. Leonardo put his hand on the pocket, following Jasmine. Luckily, Jasmine is no longer sulking after the absurd incident in the living room. Leon was desperate to show off his little lion to Jasmine, making a feather duster hit his forehead twice.

"Leon, look!! Ice cream!" Jasmine jumps with joy when she finds the seller of her favorite cold, soft, and sweet food.

"Let's buy." Leon holds Jasmine's hand to the ice cream truck.

Jasmine swings Leon's arm while walking toward the gelato seller. In front of the display, her eyes keep moving left and right, confused about what taste she wants to eat.

"I want everything, Leon." Jasmine bites her index finger in confusion.

"Yeah, buy everything, I will buy it along with the truck if you want to eat all. Don't act like a poor," Leon says, his words immediately getting a sharp glance from Jasmine.

"Why?" Leon shrugs his shoulder.

"You're so arrogant, Leon! Why always rely on your money," Jasmine grumbles.

"Well, it can't be helped. I'm rich. That's my plus point, besides being handsome and smart of course." Leon giggles.

"Hish, narcissist," Jasmine whizzes, annoying with her boyfriend's behavior.

Finally, Jasmine buys two scoops of raspberry and bubblegum flavors, while Leon has chocolate and vanilla flavors. They walk together, enjoying ice cream in the dry season is indeed delightful.

"smudge!" Leon points at the corner of Jasmine's lips which are full of ice cream.

"Really?" Jasmine immediately searches for a tissue from her bag.

"Too long!" Leon lifts Jasmine's chin and licks her smudged lips. Jasmine flinches in surprise, her face flushing red, her heart nearly bursting out.

"Sweet," Leon says while his eyes are on Jasmine's. Leon's sweet behavior makes all eyes fall on the two of them. They blush like Jasmine, especially because Leon's face is very handsome and charming.

"Don't be like that, Leon! You make me shy." Jasmine pinches Leon's arm violently.

"Ouch... it hurts. You act more barbaric lately, Baby?! But it's okay. You look cute when you're angry." Leon kisses Jasmine's forehead, making the girl even more annoyed.

"Ah, you Naughty Cat," Jasmine protests, and Leon giggles.

They go back around the night market area. Later at night, the market gets busier. Small children, teenagers, and adults begin to crowd the market area. They dance, eat and play. Jasmine and Leonardo are still enjoying the night either.

"You want a present?" Leon looks at the target shooting game stand. A simple game rule, when the player can shoot the target directly, they can get it as the prize.

"Can you?" Jasmine asks. If Leonardo can't, he only throws money for nothing, so useless.

"Of course, I can! Don't underestimate your boyfriend, Baby!! Tell me, what do you want?" Leon gives money to the stand merchant in exchange for bullets.

"Hmm... that lion doll!!" Jasmine points at the most challenging target. The highest prize at that stall.

"Hold this!" Leon gives his ice cream cone to Jasmine.

"Watch out if you don't get it!"

"You watch out too, Baby! If I get it, you have to kiss me twenty times!" Leon smirks at Jasmine. The emerald-eyed girl never knew that Leon often played soft air gun with Raphael and Raymondo. This kind of game, puft... So EASY.

"Ok!!" Jasmine innocently accepts Leon's offer.

"Deal?"

"Deal!!"

"You can't pull back your words, OK!"

"Okay!"

"Promise?"

"Yeah, Promise!"

Leonardo aims at the target and closes one eye. "Oke!! You will get your present in one, two, three...!"

BANG!!!

One bullet shoots and hits the target. A cute lion doll that Jasmine wished for. The stand merchant gapes and Jasmine also gawks. Leon blows the tip of his gun as if it is emitting smoke, but it isn't.

"How's my ability, baby?!" Leon moves up and down his eyebrows at Jasmine.

"Can I installment our promise ?!" Jasmine asked. How can she kiss Leonardo twenty times at once? Her lips will be plump after it is done.

"Oh, no, no, no! Cash, Baby. All at the same time!" Leon shakes his index finger.

"A light kiss?!" Jasmine asks. She begins to beg for her promise.

"No way!! Deep kissing!!" Leon does not want to lose even a little.

"Yes, of course, you don't want to!" Jasmine's shoulders go limp.

"I'll take the prize first." Leon comes to the stall owner.

Jasmine is still holding Leon's ice cream. The ice cream starts to melt, melting in Jasmine's hands. She rushes to find a water faucet to clean her sticky hands. But unlucky, while running to turn around, Jasmine bumps into a young man. Her Ice cream stuck to his chest, staining his hoodie jacket.

"So—sorry!" Jasmine rushes to apologize. She takes a tissue from her sling bag to clean up the ice cream mess.

"Damn, You Bitch!! Watch your step!! Are you blind? Where are your eyes, huh?" He roars, and Jasmine cringes.
