Ice Cream With Jayden

It's already 6: 30pm now, Lucretia was with a family at the dinning table having their dinner.

"How was school dear?" questioned Mr. Gilbert slightly lifting his eyes to where Lucretia sat.

"Um.., good dad. Just a little..." she uttered but stopped all of a sudden as the plan to meet up with Jayden stroke her. she quickly checked her time.

"Oh shit..." she cursed underneath her breath and stood up from her seat, picking up her plate.

"What's wrong dear? Are you okay?" queried Mrs. Angelica.

"Yes mum.." she answered hastily as she dashed off to the kitchen. She dropped her plates in the sink and quickly washed them. She then stormed out of the kitchen, running upstairs to her room.

"Careful dear...." her mother exclaimed after her but she had already left.

Mr. Gilbert and Mrs. Angelica stared at each other a little puzzled.

"What's up with her?" queried Mr. Gilbert quizzically. Mrs. Angelica swiftly turned to the stairs that leads to Lucretia's room then back to her husband and shrugged.

"I don't know..." she replied with a chuckle and went back to her meals.

Lucretia on getting to the room rushed to the wardrobe. she slammed the wardrobe door opened and sent her eyes searching through it.

"What should I even wear?" she murmured with here eyes still fixed. Just then, She spotted a sea blue short dress.

"Here, I think this will be okay." she mumbled, reaching out for the dress.

She went over to her bed and gently laid the dress on it. She rushed to the washroom for a quick shower. Just then, she heard her ringing. She dashed out of the washroom to where the phone was.

"I'm here. Are you coming?" said Jayden on the other side of the line.

"Yes Jay.., give me some few minutes. I will be there soon." she answered

"Sure.." he uttered and hanged up.

Lucretia quickly got into her dress and went over to her dressing mirror. she put on a slight make up and loosen her hair behind her. She swiftly dragged her mini hand bag which was lying on the bed and dashed out from her room.

Mrs. Angelica was leaving to the kitchen with some plates in her hand when she heard the door bell.

"Honey..., can you please get the door?" she said to her husband.

"Sure dear.." he replied and left to the door. He pulled the door opened to see a young man standing there.

"Good evening sir." uttered Jayden with a smile.

"Good evening..., how may I help you?" questioned Mr. Gilbert.

"Please, I'm here to see Lucretia." he answered.

Mr. Gilbert was about to say something when Mrs. Angelica called from behind.

"Who is there dear?" she questioned.

"Well.., it's one of Lucretia's friends." he answered slightly turning to his wife

"Oh..okay." she slowly answered leaving to the living room.

Mr. Gilbert smiled and turned his attention back to Jayden.

"Come in son.." he uttered, gesturing him into the house.

"Thank you Sir." he answered with a smile as he went in.

Lucretia descended the stairs beautifully dressed to meet Jayden already with a parents.

"Oh, you are here. Your friend have been waiting for you for a while now. He told me you two have a date." murmured Mrs. Angelica looking at her daughter in surprise.

"Well mum.., it's not a date actually. Just going out for some ice creams. Anyway, sorry for not telling you guys earlier. she uttered with a smile.

" It's okay dear."replied Mrs. Angelica with a grin.

"Thank you mum..." she uttered with a hug.

"So..can we go now mum..?" she added.

"Sure, sure dear. Take care." said Mrs. Angelica with a smile.

"Thank you sir." uttered Jayden to Mr. Gilbert as he stood up from his seat.

Mr. Gilbert patted him and smiled.

"You two should take care and don't keep too long outside. It's dangerous at night."

"Sure sir.." he replied and they dashed off to the door.

"Have fun dear.." exclaimed Mrs. Angelica as they walked out of the door.

"Okay mum.." exclaimed Lucretia over her shoulders.

Lucretia and Jayden walked out of the compound into the walkway.

"Your parents are nice people." muttered Jayden with a grin.

"Yeah..., mum are dad have always been like this. They love seeing my friends come over to visit but I don't have much friends. It has always been Philip coming around." she uttered, slightly smiling.

"Uhm...I see. You too are really good friends." mumbled Jayden.

"Yeah..., we sure are." she muttered as she glanced over to Philip's house.

After few minutes of walking, they finally got to the bus stop. They got onto the bus and it drove off. Lucretia and Jayden kept chatting and giggling at each other's joke until they got to their stop. They got off and went into the ice cream shop.

They sat over one of the table and the waiter came over to them. She gave them the ice cream menu and they made their order. After a while, the waitress returned with their ice creams.

"Thank you.." they uttered in unison as the waiter dropped the ice creams in front of them.

"You're welcome." she mumbled and left.

Lucretia opened her ice cream and dived in. Jayden too did same to his while admiring Lucretia's beauty.

"So..., what's your answer?" he queried out of the blue.

"Well..um.." she mumbled.

She paused eating and starred down quietly on her ice cream for a while. She sighed and looked up at him and smiled.

"My answer is yes.." she uttered.

"Yes...!" exclaimed Jayden as he jumped up from his seat drawing almost everybody's attention to them.

"Sorry..." he added with a smile on noticing people starring at them and sat them.

Lucretia looked on and chuckled slightly shaking her head.

"I hope this helps me to get over Philip." she thought to herself.

"Thank you Lucretia.." he mumbled as he sat down.

They sat in the ice cream shop for a while chatting and giggling. All this while, Philip has been trying to reach Lucretia but she wasn't answering the call.

"Why is she not answering her phone?" murmured Philip to himself.
