“You don’t know it, but they are definitely there” ”You stalker creep-“ he shook his head with a small laugh
”“Is it though?”
He raised his brow for a second ”Maybe not” he chuckled and but the cone ”or maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised” he added
”See… that won’t happen. Because I don’t sing for other people, its a hidden talent from society" ”You’ll surrender one day” he said ”Society is now empty and sad because they haven’t heard you sing” he shook his head ”They have to just settle for me instead” he chuckled “But if I did, definitely a bop” ”Massive bop. big fan” he added with a smile
”You stalker creep-“ I wink and take another bite of my ice cream. “I’m not the stalker, they are” My eyes scan the place, referring that there was someone there but in reality there wasn’t.
”or maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised” I smile. “If you can manage to make a good song about that just for me… hmm” I think for a second “I’ll buy you as much ice cream as you want” I smirk. Who wouldn’t love that, I mean aside from the fact that we all have money… but thats besides the point. Ice cream was great.
”Society is now empty and sad because they haven’t heard you sing” I chuckle. Nobody even knew I sang. “How are they supposed to be sad if they don’t even know I sing?” I smirk, finishing my ice cream. “Maybe I’ll sing for you one day” I said. “Maybe” I added with a small smile. ”They have to just settle for me instead” I glare at him. “Theres no settling, they pick you instead because your awesome” I flash him a big smile
”I’m not the stalker, they are” ”Well they’re you’re eyes, so you’re the stalker” he said ”That’s just how it works” he added biting the cone again
”If you can manage to make a good song about that just for me… hmm I’ll buy you as much ice cream as you want" ”Hmmm,” he raised his brow intrigued by the offer ”that sounds good I like that idea” he said and half smirked half smiled ”You got yourself a deal” he said and finished the ice cream in his hand
”How are they supposed to be sad if they don’t even know I sing?" ”They’re sad and feel like something is missing but they don’t know what it is” he explained ”Don’t you just feel bad for them” he shook his head lightly
*“Maybe I’ll sing for you one day. Maybe” ”I’ll remember that” he said with a smile ”next step from there is forcing you into a duet” he smirked mischievously ”Theres no settling, they pick you instead because your awesome" ”Meh I’m alright” he said with a light chuckle and a smile
”That’s just how it works” I smile shaking my head. “It tis, but” I shrug “You’ll never know who they are” I added with a smirk. ”You got yourself a deal” I smile, jumping up in joy. “Perfect!” I say happily, bouncing off my feet. “I expect the first verse next time we hang out” I smile. ”Don’t you just feel bad for them” I pretend like im hurt, making puppy eyes. “Oh I feel so bad” I lightly smile, beginning to laugh. “Okay thats a lie. I don’t feel bad for them at all”. ”next step from there is forcing you into a duet” Oh gosh. He was a lot of a better singer than I was, I would just embarrass myself. “Uhhmm… maybe”
I gasp at the fact that he said he was just “alright”. My eyebrows furrowed. “Uh- you are amazing not just alright” I say mocking the way he said alright.
”It tis, but. You’ll never know who they are" ”Stalker” he said shaking is head ”that’s your name from now on” he added ”Perfect! I expect the first verse next time we hang out" ”Yes ma’am” he said with a nod and a light chuckle at her jumps ”Oh I feel so bad. Okay thats a lie. I don’t feel bad for them at all" ”What a bully” he shook his head and tsk tsk his tongue ”Uhhmm… maybe" ”maybe in free translation is a yes” he said ”you’ll see” “Uh- you are amazing not just alright” ”Debatable” he shrugged ”but I won’t argue I know I’ll lose” he chuckled
She listened to her friend, nodding in agreement as she talked about her mojo being off. “This whole thing definitely threw off my morning.” She responded, taking a sip of the London Fog that she’d ordered herself. The liquid was hot, burning her tongue. “Ow. That’s hotter than I expected.” She muttered, setting down the drink and taking off the lid to let it cool down, fanning it a little. In an attempt to cool down her tongue, she took a bite of chocolate croissant she’d bought. “This whole thing aside, is there anything new with you?” She asked, placing the croissant down on a plate.
”Stalker” I chuckle. “So be it, guess thats my new nickname” I give him a goofy smile. ”What a bully” I lightly shove him, laughing. “Am not” ”maybe in free translation is a yes” I furrow my eyebrows at him and cross my arms. “Not a yes, its a maybe. So I probably won’t” I say with a little sass ”but I won’t argue I know I’ll lose” I squint my eyes at him, my mouth almost falling open. “Mhm okay. Sure you will” I roll my eyes playfully
“I was talking about the vibe you give off, not your outfit if that makes you feel better.” He told her, sensing from her reaction that she was somewhat disappointed by what he said. He finished his coffee as she talked about how she was supposed to be shopping. “Sure, why not.” He responded to her invitation. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d gone shopping for anything besides groceries. “Yeah, I guess I could use the distraction. I can’t go to rehearsal anymore anyways, so I pretty much have all day.” He answered, paying his bill and putting his wallet back into his pocket. “Did you have a particular shop or mall in mind?” He asked her, standing up. His knowledge of where to buy clothes was very limited, seeing as he mainly bought his clothes from alternative clothing stores. He straightened out his flannel and waited for Kate to give some sort of signal that she was ready to leave.
After both of us payed our meals and drinks, in the middle of me getting up he hit me with “Did you have a particular shop or mall in mind?” which shocked me at first and then I realised I’m talking to a laidback rich guy, not my typical friends, which might be a refreshing turn about. Instead of my usual panicking while visitng every shop offered to me so I can find the correct clothes to represent myself to people my age who want to see a bit of skin and to older folk who want to see an elegant saint hang out with their children and be liked. But today, when I’m in such strange company, I think I can actually find out why so many girls find shopping therapeutic and not stressful as I do. “There’s many shops to visit. How will I ever choose the one.” I also wondered for myself considering on every shopping trip I’d visit ever possiblity in case of finding the correct outfits. “I know” I said while the idea was still forming in my head. “We could visit all the shops until we find the one where we like the display. No need to go to a shop and search for something deep in the racks if the display doesn’t appeal to us. I mean honestly, the display should show the best the store has to offer and if that’s something we don’t like chances are we won’t like whats inside the store anymore. Do you agree?”
”So be it, guess thats my new nickname" ”Exactly” he said with a nod ”Glad you approve even though I would have done it anyway” he chuckled lightly “Am not” ”Am too” he replied and nudged her back with a playful smile on his face ”Not a yes, its a maybe. So I probably won’t" ”hmmm. We’ll see about that” he said with a teasingly raised brow, sounded like a good challenge.
”Glad you approve even though I would have done it anyway” I laugh, time would come for him to get a new nickname. “Oh you’ll get a good nickname soon too” I smirk. ”Am too” I roll my eyes playfully. “Am not, you’re the bully” ”hmmm. We’ll see about that” I roll my eyes “Sureee” I chuckled, nodding to go outside. “We will, and we will see that there is going to be no singing going on from my end”
”Oh you’ll get a good nickname soon too"
He laughed lightly ”Can’t wait” he smiled ”Am not, you’re the bully" ”Maybe, just maybe, we both are” he replied slowly and thoughtfully as if that was some genius revelation theory or whatever, raising his brow. ”Sureee. We will, and we will see that there is going to be no singing going on from my end" ”Whatever you say stalker, no singing it is” he said ”until there is, of course” he added with a mischievous smirk
”Can’t wait” I smirk. “Me neither. Ou how about senorita. Thats an embarrassing one. Ou ou or homegirl” I make jazz hands and start laughing. ”Maybe, just maybe, we both are” I continue on laughing. “Oh I think we definitely are, but only to each other” I smile giving him a playful look. ”Whatever you say stalker, no singing it is…until there is, of course" I make a pfft sound. “Whatever you say homegirl” I nudge him “Lets go” I say as I turn to walk out of the ice cream shot
”Me neither. Ou how about senorita. Thats an embarrassing one. Ou ou or homegirl" ”Homegirl?” he raised his brow at her ”Really? That’s what you came up with?” he asked and laughed lightly ”now I just need a dress” he said ”Oh I think we definitely are, but only to each other” ”Yeah definitely, bullying other people is a big no no, only you it’s okay” he smirked and chuckled ”Whatever you say homegirl. Lets go"
He shook his head with a silly small smile as she called him homegirl again before starting to head out, ”Coming” he said and ran a hand through his hair before also walking out, ”That was fun” he said as they were out in the air again
I watched as Tamara burned her tongue. “Hehe, that’s why I keep telling you not to drink it too fast.”
“This whole thing aside, is there anything new with you?”
“Oh, nothing much, other than the fact that my traveling plans have to be cancelled.” I rolled my eyes while biting my blueberry muffin. I was trying not to let the news ruin my day but I couldn’t run from it forever. “I mean, I was really looking forward to making an article about the situation in the Bahamas but I literally can’t anymore. Who would have thought this would happen.” I said while shaking my head.“Anyways, other than that obstacle, I’ve been travelling to more places, creating more articles, typical stuff like that. Oh, do you remember when i was supposed to show you around New Orleans this year? Looks like things are getting in the way of that too;”
"Really? That’s what you came up with?” I make a pouty face “What… you don’t like it…?” I start to fake cry, one of the pros of being an actor. Crying on demand. “And scene” I say pulling myself together, watching the expression on his face change. "only you it’s okay” I smile. “Only me” I put my hand under my chin, emphasizing the huge smile plastered on my face.
As we walked outside I took a deep breath focusing on something other than the way I looked. “It was fun” I lightly smiled. Hanging out was fun, eating the ice cream… not so much.
“Oh! I wanted to ask for a second opinion about something… well two things” I flick my hair over my shoulder after the wind blew it in front of my face. “One… do you think I should cut my hair” I move my hand to just below my shoulder. “To here?” I ask. “And two… what should I get my grandma for her birthday?”
*“What… you don’t like it…?.. And scene” Elliot shook his head as he watched her make a fake crying scene ”Oh god” he shook his head with a small snorted laugh ”No wonder you became an actress” he raised his brow “Oh! I wanted to ask for a second opinion about something… well two things” ”go ahead” he said waiting for her to ask what ever it was she was going to ask “One… do you think I should cut my hair. To here?”
She asked gesturing with her hand, he looked at her trying to imagine that, and nodded in agreement ”Yes” he said ”I think it would look good on you” he added ”And two… what should I get my grandma for her birthday?" ”ummmmmm” he thought ”I’m not good with presents, maybe something with a picture like a frame or something?” he suggested unsure
”No wonder you became an actress” I give him one of those ‘haha’ smiles. “Oh it’s a gift. It’s the best to play on a stranger and then pretend you’re fine two seconds later…” I chuckle thinking about the one time I did that and the person was really confused ”I think it would look good on you” I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in. “Yeah I’ve been considering it for a while but I wasn’t 100% sure if I wanted to do it…” I think it would be a change, but it would look good. ”I’m not good with presents, maybe something with a picture like a frame or something?” I groan. He was no help at all, a picture… BORING. “Gosh you’re no help…” I sigh trying to think of more ideas
*”Oh it’s a gift. It’s the best to play on a stranger and then pretend you’re fine two seconds later…"
He made a sad puppy face “Oh so now I’m a stranger. Damn that hurt” he said and put his hand in his heard as if he was in pain
”Yeah I’ve been considering it for a while but I wasn’t 100% sure if I wanted to do it…" ”Do it” he said again
”Gosh you’re no help…" ”Told you I’m not good with presents” he shrugged ”Pictures are symbolic though, it’s sweet” he added
“Oh so now I’m a stranger. Damn that hurt” I sigh “I didn’t mean- oh my gosh I meant I’ve… nevermind” I groan. The words weren’t flowing, and I was only digging myself a deeper hole.
”Told you I’m not good with presents” I bite my lip, almost ignoring what he said trying to think of different things. I needed to think of something she loves, but something thats… hmm new and something she will remember forever. I was brought out of my daze when he continued talking. ”Pictures are symbolic though, it’s sweet” I chuckle. “I don’t think she needs anymore pictures, the house is already full of them”
