"Yes?" She said turning around when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Her eyes were stuck on the heavenly-sculpted face before her. It was him!
"Remember me?" His deep voice sounded softly.
"Uhhh..." Her brain shit off for some seconds before she could answer.
"Yes, z...... Zeke right?" She said after drawing the first z trying to remember completely.
"That's right, Bentlee" he answered.
Her insides were exploding at just the sound of his voice. Whoa, It was so deep.
"So tell me something..." He started and she nodded.
"Why would you order the last mint chocolate toothpaste flavoured ice cream" he said with so much seriousness in his eyes.
She almost choked on her saliva when she saw that he was being for real.
"Cause I wanted it" she said almost rolling her eyes.
She felt him staring a hole through her head.
"All this staring cause of toothpaste flavoured ice cream? What a weirdo!" She thought and glanced at him.
Cool unblinking eyes stared into hers. Her heart skipped five beats. The intensity made her look away after a few seconds.
He noticed her little behavior and oddly, he found it cute.
Before he could think any further, the waiter returned with the ice cream.
Bentlee took a scoop of it and tasted it.
"Eishhh!" she exclaimed cause it wasn't that good.
"You don't like it?" He asked watching the ice cream melt as it touched her lips.
"It's not bad" was all she said.
"You don't like it" he deduced with a smirk.
He grabbed a plastic spoon from the table and took a scoop of her ice cream.
"What the hell?!" She exclaimed.
"Helping you, cause you most likely will waste it" he replied and took another scoop.
"Bu-" she stopped with the spoon in her mouth cause she knew he was right.
.....
The waiter watched the man and lady from the front desk as they shared the ice cream.
He rolled his eyes at his singleness and how cute they looked.
"Why here?" She asked eating more ice cream.
"Hm?" He replied.
"This place, why come here for this flavor?" She asked.
"My usual place is closed"came his reply.
"Ohhhhhhh" she said with the plastic spoon in her mouth.
She was about to take another bite of the ice cream when she saw him take the last scoop.
"M-my ice cream!" She exclaimed with the skin between her brows knotting together.
"O-ohhhh.....did you want some?" He said with a devilish grin.
She wanted to yell but thought about how he did her a favour since she wasn't a fan of toothpaste flavoured ice cream.
She settled for rolling her eyes at him.
He smirked and wiped the corner of his lips with a table napkin.
He took his stand to leave and in less than a second, he felt a hand on his shirt.
He was shocked to see her holding onto him.
"What is it?" He grinned.
"You ate almost everything, so why should I pay for it myself", she answered.
He stared at her in disbelief.
"You want me to pay? For YOUR dessert?" He asked, placing emphasis on "your".
"Yes, that's what I want", she answered simply.
She wasn't letting go of his shirt, she even tugged at it after a few seconds.
"Mmmmmmh", a voice sounded in his head when her skin brushed against his as she held on. He liked the feel of it.
He stared at her expectant and unwavering eyes.
"Fine!" He said, pulling out his card.
She smiled and got up, "let's go", she said, walking and beaming victoriously.
He laughed at her little display and paid at the counter, Then traced after her.
The waiter watched them jealously, "they looked like a cute couple" he thought.
"Something I don't have" he complained and shook his head before attending to his next customer.
...........
Outside, the sun's rays hit her smooth skin, it glistened and shone bright. Her lips widened and exposed her pearly whites when her skin felt the sensation.
Zeke froze for some seconds as he stared at her.
He was enchanted, losing all sense of reasoning.
His pupils widened, taking in the sight of her. It was mesmerizing and refreshing.
He liked it, her smile. He wanted it, he wanted her.
"When will you stop staring? You're gonna drool you know " She asked, snapping him out of his little dream world.
He chuckled at her comment.
"Just a few more seconds, and I'll be done" he replied, making her smile.
She began to walk when he spoke "where to?"
"I was going to walk to the mall. You?" She looked at him with a cocked eyebrow.
"Coincidentally, I was going to mall as well" he smiled with his eyes staring deep into hers, making her heart thunder in her chest.
He walked closer to where she stood and leaned in, very close to her face. She stopped breathing at this point.
Her lips were parted and expectant, waiting to see what he would do to them, unconsciously.
He saw what she did and knew what she was waiting for.
He moved even closer until he could feel her breath on his skin.
She closed her eyes, waiting.
He smirked and leaned in to speak into her ear, "Let's go together". His deep voice resounding in her ear.
She shut her mouth immediately, her cheeks reddening because he didn't do what she expected.
"Not what you were waiting for huh" he chuckled.
"Whatever", she said, her attempt to sound nonchalant and unaffected by his actions, failing woefully.
She looked away, the blood still rushing to her cheeks.
He grinned at her cute display, he loved her reactions.
"Come on let's go" he said tapping on the remote of his car. It made a noise indicating it's presence.
Bentlee looked to where the sound originated from. It was a sweet jet black Mercedes-maybach.
She stood there in awe. She knew he was rich from the way he acted, but she never expected to see a Mercedes-maybach as a casual ride for him!!
"Bentlee" he said in a low tone, making her insides flip. She turned to him and he motioned his hands towards the car, "let's go".
"Oh yeah" she said walking.
