Twenty eight

When we went outside, her roommate was there talking with her neighbour, Ann told her that we were leaving.

"What about the ice cream? Can I have it?" Lily asked looking at Ann then me.

"Ann's not gonna have it so yeah." I shrugged.

"Thanks." She smiled and waved at Ann as we both went down the stairs. Ann took out her car keys and threw them at me as I looked at her surprised.

"Drive?" She smiled and got into the non driver front seat. I guess I'm driving.

When I started the car, music started playing but she immediately turned it off and turned to me;

"Do you want me to turn it back on?" She asked when she saw that I was looking at her.

"No, it's cool."

"Okay." She sat back, relaxed as I started to drive. It was quiet all through till I was almost at the ice cream spot.

"I'll pay for the ice cream, the one my roommate is probably having right now." I turned to her before looking back at the road.

"No, it's fine." I told her.

"It's not, I know you want to pay, I mean you already bought it, but I'm not even gonna be the one eating it, let me pay for the ice cream my roommate's having."

"But I'm going to pay for the one you will have at the ice cream shop right?" No way I was letting her pay.

"Well you can pay for that, at least it's me eating the ice cream." I didn't say anything after she said this but I surely wasn't letting her pay for the chocolate flavour I already bought or the one we were on our way to buy. I just smiled.

I pulled into the ice cream shop's little parking spot, thankfully there weren't any other cars there. There was still a line inside but it was shorter now.

"You can stay here, I'll go wait in line." I told her before I got down but I heard her behind me when I was about to enter the ice cream shop.

"I can't wait in the car, I'll get bored and that can tamper with my mood, trust me, I don't want that."

"I don't want that either." I really didn't, I preferred happy Ann. She smiled and went before me into the shop and stood in the line of five people. I stood behind her, I can't say if she's petite or I'm just a little too tall to be standing directly behind her. She turned back and caught me smiling at my thought.

"What?" She asked before turning back to move forward with the line. She turned at me again after moving her position on the line.

"Nothing." I lied, trying not to laugh because I knew I couldn't tell her what was just on my mind seconds ago.

"Tell me, come on." She pouted, pushing her lower lips out, she looked like a cartoon character doing that and it made me grin.

"it's nothing really." I was not about to tell her that I was laughing because she looked petite standing next to me because I know she didn't look short if you looked at her standing alone.

"Fucking liar." She said and moved forward again and I followed. Someone joined the line behind me.

"Please tell me." She pouted again after I wasn't saying anything. She was now at the front of the line.

"Your order, please." It was a man behind the counter this time.

"Let me have a strawberry and vanilla mix." Ann said to the man smiling."What will you have?" She asked me.

"Uhmm, I think I will have the same thing as you."

"Oh, you too are together?" The man asked and Ann nodded as a reply.

"Small size, medium or....."

"Large size for me." Ann said.

"Okay, what about you, young man?"

"Medium." I said.

"Hey Jerry," Ann turned to me again and grab my neck while on her tippy toes."Why don't I just pay for these and then we can forget about the other two you already bought." She whispered in my ears before leaving my neck, it happened so fast.

"No, I'll pay for these." I shook my head."I'll pay for us both." I told the man behind the counter and he nodded before poking his head in the square opening behind the counter like the other woman but he took longer.

"Here." He packaged both different cups of ice cream in different takeaway nylons with a professional smile. Ann's eyes shone with happiness when he handed her both nylons, she really wanted to eat ice cream.

We both walked out the door after I had paid for the ice creams. She opened the car with the car key using her free right hand and went on to get into where she sat all the while we drove here.

I joined her in the car, sitting in the driver's seat. When I got in, she already had her spoon inside of her ice cream. She really did want to eat that ice cream.

"O my goddddd, Jerry" She groaned after she took a spoonful,"this is sooo good." She said with ice cream still in her mouth. I just smiled.

"Wait...!" Something just came to my mind.

"What?"

"Are you allowed to eat ice cream? You know....with the baby?" I can remember the doctor we had an appointment with said she needed to be careful with what she ate.

"I don't know," She replied with her mouth full.

"Well stop eating it?" I said just before she could eat another spoon she had already scooped up from her large cup.

"We already bought it?" She licked her lips, pouting.

"You should call your gynaecologist." I suggested but she started shaking her head.

"Nahh.... I'm pretty sure it's okay for me to have ice cream."

"Don't you want to be sure?"

"Jerry, I've been craving ice cream for dayyysss now," She stressed on the DAYS,"Let me eat this, I beg you." She said and put another spoon of the vanilla part in her mouth.

I sighed and took out my phone, I was going to search online and if ice cream wasn't good for intake during pregnancy, I was surely going to stop her from eating more from the cup.

"Are you calling her?" She asked if I was calling her gynaecologist.

"I don't have her number, you do. I'm just going to check online."

"I'm sure there's nothing against me eating ice cream." She said again as I read through the page on my phone, she was right, there was nothing wrong with her eating ice cream.

"It's safe for you to have ice cream." I informed her.

"What did I tell you." She smiled with another batch of ice cream in her mouth.

I took out my cup from the takeaway nylon and also took out the plastic spoon it came with. I started to eat mine watching her as I did; the flavour melting on my taste buds.
