“Thank you!” I looked to Juliet for an explanation, a bit confused by why he was giving us ice cream for free.

I thanked Greg and pulled Romeo towards a small table off to the side.
"So," I started, "Do you like it here?

“It’s amazing.” I settled into my seat and smiled. “How did you manage to get us free ice cream?”

I smiled, shooting Greg a quick glance. “I’ve never come here with anyone before. I guess he was just happy about this.”

“Well, he seems nice.” I smiled, unable to stop looking around. “This place is so… happy. I’m not used to being somewhere like this.” I noted, my eyes drifting to the colorful ice cream.

“I love it here…” Reaching over the table, I placed my hands palm-up on the table, as if asking him to place his on top.

I complied with my right hand, and placed my cast next to her other hand, outstretching my fingers so they touched hers. “I love this place too. Thanks for taking me here. I know it’s special to you.”

Flushing, I averted my eyes. “I’ve never shown it to anyone..”

I squeezed her hand gently. “I love you too, Juliet.”

My heart did a little happy dance. Moving cautiously, I lifted his hand to my lips, brushing them across his knuckles.

I want to run away with you. The phrase caught in the back of my throat. I swallowed it quickly, knowing it would ruin the mood. I couldn’t say it. Not here and not now. So I let my cheeks flush pink and smiled, my eyes sparkling with adoration as I stared at the beautiful girl in front of me.

For a moment, I saw his blissfully happy expression falter. But a split second later and he was smiling again, so brightly that I thought I must have imagined it.

Filling the silence, Greg called us up to the counter, presenting us with two huge cones, each Kaden with multiple scoops f ice cream.

I got up with the intention of grabbing both our cones before remembering that wasn’t going to work with one arm. Instead I waited for Juliet to get up with me.

I grinned mischievously, handing Romeo his huge ice cream.

“Ta da!~”

“This is both intimidating and incredible.” I shook my head in amazement, sitting back down with the ice cream and staring at it.

“You’re supposed to eat it, not stare at it,” I teased him, nudging it carefully closer to his mouth.

“I know, I know. I’m soaking it all in.” I protested lightly, gently, licking the first scoop of ice cream. I froze instantly, licking my lips as I took in the taste. I didn’t even step to tell Juliet my opinion, biting into the gelato hungrily.

“Don’t bite it!” I warned, but it was too late. He’d already sunk his teeth in.

I always bite into ice cream XD))

I yelped not realizing how sensitive my teeth were to the cold. I held the ice cream at arms length, letting out an exaggerated whimper.

(Oof not me
Sorry I left last night)

I burst out laughing, reaching for a napkin and leaning in to dab the once cream from the corners of his mouth. “Oh, Romeo…”

It’s okay! Good morning😄)

My face turned red as Juliet wiped the napkin at the corners of my mouth. I smiled warmly despite my toothache. “It’s a learning process…” I replied giving my ice cream a suspicious look.

(G’morning
How’re you?)

I flicked his nose affectionately before pulling away. “Eat it slowly. With your tongue. Don’t bite it!”

“I will.” I tentatively began to eat the ice cream again. “This is awesome.”

“Mm.” I flashed him a grin. “Now you’ll taste like dark cherries and chocolate when I kiss you.”

“That was your plan all along wasn’t it?” I smirked, trying to pace myself while also eating the ice cream before it melted.
