CHAPTER THREE
SATURDAY EVENING
My alarm rang to remind me that by six I have a date with Zeke that I completely forgot about and at that same time I got a text form the brosef himself saying that he is at the the ice cream shop down the street from where I work.
I quickly rushed to clean the café tables and mop the floor, luckily I didn't need to worry about clothes because I always take and extra pair of clothes with me everywhere I go and I mean everywhere and these ones were hmm okayish. In the next five mins I was ready and set to go I was happy that the place was not to far from where I worked so I could get back on time.
I walked down the road just to see Zeke looking all handsome and cute in FORMAL WEAR!!! its ice cream for God sake I thought it would be casual right then I felt like going home to change like bro what the fudge!!
" Hey" Zeke said as he greeted me
" Okay before anything else..." I sighed
" What is with the formal wear?!!"
Zeke looked at me and laughed, I stood there looking confused
" What's so funny?" I asked
" Nothing it's nothing"
" Seriously what is so funny?"
" I'm not the only one looking odd right now, what is with the apron?" he laughed.
I looked down just to see that he was not joking i was still wearing my apron but how I remember taking it off unless I actually didn't take it off
" I forgot to remove it so what I can still take it off unlike you Mr. bowtie" I looked at him and giggled
" I just came back from an event a meeting to be precise" He said while adjusting his bowtie
" How am I sure that its not an excuse and that you actually thought that we were supposed to dress formal" I put my hands on my hips and looked at him with this 'I gatch ya' expression on my face
" Cause I put extra clothes in my bag"
" Ohh" I was dumb founded.
He laughed " Give me five minutes"
I noded my head to give an okay sign.
soon he was out of the public toilet dressed in color blue jeans, a white top which has the word "POSITIVE" written at the front and a black cap with his name on it.
" You customized the cap?"
" Nah not me, you think I have money and time to waste on a cap?"
" Umm yeah you do come from a rich home, you spoilt brat"
" Hah you make me laugh but no it was a gift from one of the cheerleaders'"
" Lemme guess Kristen "
" Yeah, how did you know?"
" I have my sources" I said as I did a Beyoncé hair flip
Even though Kristen already warned me to stay away from Zeke I felt like she should have warned him too because he is the one not staying away from me, I know that I could have come up with one lame excuse not to come to this date stuff buh it's actually my first so I didn't want to miss it [ That is also an excuse just to come on a date with Zeke]
" So strawberry ice cream?"
" Yeah sure lets go."
We walked into the ice cream shop and I saw so many flavors that I was almost considering not to get strawberry anymore but at one point i didn't feel like getting any form of ice cream because the shop Zeke brought us too was selling their ice cream at a very expensive rate, exactly as i said before Zeke is a spoilt brat [which sorta makes it fun cause I wanna see what exactly these rich kids waste their money on]
" Welcome to SWEET SAVOURY ICE CREAM and PARFAIT what flavor do you want to make your day" said the worker in the front desk.
" What a cute rhyme." I said to the guy
" Thanks no one actually cares about the rhyme." he replied me back with a smile.
" So what do you want to order?"
" Two strawberry ice cream. " Zeke replied
" With sprinkles and a cherry on top mine please."
" Coming right up miss, just have a seat right there" He said as he pointed to the left side of the shop.
" Okay thanks."
" Hold up, you did not tell me if you want it in a cup, cone or a waffle bowl."
" Ummm" I turned to Zeke not knowing what to choose and I think he got the message.
" Anything you put the ice cream in we will go with it" Zeke said as he looked back at me.
" Sure, your gonna love this one" The worker said as he walked towards the ice cream machine to get us our ice cream.
After five to ten minutes of waiting our ice creams were finally ready
" Here you go miss"
" Thank you..." I stopped to look at the name on his tag.
" James"
" You can just call me Jay, always at your service m' lady" he did a little curtsey that made me laugh.
"Ohh yes and the ice cream is on the house"
I was so surprised to hear that and kind of happy as well
We took our ice cream and left the shop. As Zeke and I walked down the road we talked about life, ambitions, family and most of all school he cracked silly jokes that made me laugh some didn't cause I've heard them before from Tyler and some from Jack.
" So I guess you like funny guys right?"
ohh now I see where the jokes were coming from I think he was jealous about Jay making me laugh. Guys tho.
" Yeah I do "
" Hey jerk face" A random but yet familiar voice called out from the back
" Didn't I warn you to stay away" The voice said again
I turned back to see Kristen and her minions walking towards Zeke and I
" What do you want Kristen?" I asked her
" First I told you to stay away and now you going out with him on a date." She looked furious like in her head she didn't want to lose to a low life like me.
"Hey Kristen calm down" Zeke told her as he put his hands on her shoulders
" Calm down, so that this low life girl will snatch you away from me"
And there it is the word "low life" but wait "snatch you away from me" that is a really sus sentence its sounds like as if they are dating or besties or something like that.
" Look no one is taking me away this was all just a friendly date"
" Taking me away" okay this is sus enough to know that something was going on between these two but for some reason I didn't seem to care I was just licking my ice cream and watching the two of the act a Telemundo episode in my presence.
" Hey wanna get out of here?" a voice said to me
I turned back to see James?
" What are you doing here?"
" I just closed from work and this is my normal route home so I was passing and saw the drama going on and decided to approach you"
" Ohh and yes I do wanna get out of here"
" Quick follow me this easiest way outta here is through that alley you sure you wanna go?"
" As long as you know where your going it's fine with me"
" What if I was some kidnapper trying to lure you"
" It's not possible I know people with evil intentions when I see them"
we walked through the alley and met ourselves back on the route my shop is on
" Thanks Jay "
" You remembered."
" Never forgot, well anyway my shift isn't over I gotta get back to the café that's it over there if you ever wanna stop bye and say hi."
" Sure "
" Thanks for helping me back there"
" I always help a damsel in distress when I see one" He took another curtsey which made me laugh yet again before disappearing into the alley
I walked back to the Café where I told my colleagues everything that happened we all laughed even Tyler seemed to smile at some points in the story but I still wonder what is going on between Zeke and Kristen.
