Complimentary gift for couples.

"Hey, it's mine."

"Everything belongs to everyone if you manage to take it. Let me eat, don't be possessive over damn ice cream." He said taking another scoop.

"Then let me take yours," I said while taking the butterscotch ice cream.

We both were eating the ice cream from each other's cups, smiling and talking about random things, and the time flew without our knowledge. It was almost dusk when we completed our ice creams.

"You said you didn't like it, yet you ate all the ice cream." Link frowned showing me the ice cream cup.

"It's you who first ate my ice cream."

"I was just tasting it." Link said making the baby's eyes.

I shook my head with a scoff, thinking of his childish mentality, this made me more curious about asking him about his personality change.

"Link, can I ask you something?" I asked. Well, first I have to ask him if he's okkay with it or not.

"Since when did you become so formal?" Link teased.

"I'm being serious Link," I said with a stern face.

"Well, okkay then. What is it you wanna ask Kiet Wongsi Thongchanta" He asked keeping a stern face too?

"Do you have.....Umm... Split personality disorder?" I asked hesitantly.

"Do you think I have?" He asked back.

"I guess," I answered.

"What made you think I have split personality disorder?" He asked leaning on the table in front of him.

"It's just,... you behave like one in front of me and like another in front of others, you have a completely different personality. I mean you act like a child in front of me and in front of others you act all matured. So,... I thought.... you know." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh, so you thought I have split personality disorder?" He asked.

I didn't say anything instead I nodded my head in agreement.

Link looked at me with a stern face for some time and after that, he burst into laughter. I was looking at him confused and he was sitting in front of laughing like a mental patient. Did he gone mad after I asked? was the only thing that's running in my mind.

"You...thought I have split personality disorder cos I act differently with you." He tried to say in between his laughter.

"Yes. If that's not true then why do you act differently in front of me?" I asked.

Link controlled his laughter and started smiling now.

"What do you mean why? I act like a child cos I like to do that." He answered.

"Why?"

"No particular reason. I like to be myself in front of you."

"C'mon there must be a reason," I asked again.

He looked nervous and confused right now. He was about to open his mouth when his phone rang. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and answered the call. He ended and looked back at me.

"It's mum. We should head back. She wants us back by dinner time." He said while standing up.

I stood up to leave and didn't want him to ask anything much more about his personality change. I thought it's best to leave the matter. We both went towards the counter to pay the bill. When the lady who served the ice cream earlier smiled looking at us.

It felt more like a blush than a smile. But why will she feel shy looking at us?. Anyway, she gave me the bill and we paid for it. We were about to return when the same lady called us.

"Sir, here's your gift." She said and gave me a bag.

When we looked into it there was an ice cream box inside it. We looked at each other confused and then looked at her but instead of answering she smiled.

"What is this gift for?" I asked.

"It's a complimentary gift for every couple who comes here. An offer we are giving for couples throughout valentine's week." She said and pointed out the offer sign which was on the counter right next to her. I forgot there is this damn week too. Ugh, I hate February.

My wrist started clenching and my face became red with anger. I looked at her with a fierce look and then at Link. He saw me and his face changed from smiling to nervousness.

"I swear I didn't know about the offer." He said with a trembling voice. He for sure knows what my anger is and how will I react whenever I get angry or someone pisses me off. I looked back at her.

"Can I know on what basis you get to the conclusion that we are a couple?" I said while slamming my hand on the counter desk.

Her smile face immediately changed into a scared cat's face and started apologizing.

"I'm sorry sir, I have mistaken. You were patting his head, sharing ice cream, and acting lovey-dovey, I thought you were a couple. I'm sorry sir it was my mistake." Her voice was quivering.

I was about to burst into her when Link held my hand tight and pulled me away from her.

"It's okkay. Take this back." He said while keeping the bag she gave and he pulled me outside the store.

We both came outside and I was still angry at him for bringing me here.

"Next time you want ice cream, don't you dare ask me to come to some filthy shop that gives gifts on goddamn fucking occasion called valentine week," I said in an angry tone.

"I'm sorry, I know nothing about the offer. I would have never brought you if I have known earlier. Please don't be mad." He said with a quivering tone still holding my hand.

"I'm going home," I said and pulled my hand away from his grip.

"Wait, are you leaving me?" He asked coming towards me.

"I'm not in the mood, book a cab go home. I'm heading first. I want to be alone." I said and went towards my bike.

"Kiet, I'm sorry. I didn't know." Link came in front of the bike holding the handle.

"I believe you. Now move aside. You know me and you also know how I act when I'm angry. I can't control my anger and I really don't wanna punch you." I said with a stern face and put on my helmet.

"I'm really sorry." He apologized again.

"Move aside Link," I said with a fierce tone.

"I won't. Listen to me first." He said, his eyes started to fill with tears.

"LINK...." I said in an angry tone and gave a death glare to him. He moved aside and I drove off from there.
