章節 26: Ice cream over conversation
"Let me open the door for you." Alexander says rushing to the car before I opened up the door.
I give him a smile and thank him. I get adjusted in his seat and put on the seatbelt. He opens up his side of the door and hops on in. Looking around his car I could tell it costs him a couple thousand dollars.
"This is a really nice car for an intern." I mean let's be honest most interns are driving beat up old cars or they are borrowing their parents' car.
"What can I say there are perks to being an intern at your fathers' company." He says giving me a wink and a smirk. Nepotism nice.
He starts his ignition and heads to the ice cream shop.
"So, you get paid to be an intern? That disrupts the whole point of being an intern." I say turning myself in the seat so I face him.
"I never said that I get paid I said there are perks of being an intern at your father's company." He said correcting me.
"So how do you make your money then?"
"Someone's a nosy Nancy. This was a birthday gift from my father, but I did summers at the company and pulled all nighters to get this car so no it wasn't all nepotism."
"Well good for you." I said giving him a smile. He smiles back and focuses on the road.
"Why were you so hesitant to come with me at first? We've met before so you know I'm not crazy." He asks questionably.
"You really want to know?"
"Yes, that's why I asked." I slap his shoulder and tell him not to get sassy with me.
"I was hesitant because I have a boyfriend and I thought that it wouldn't be appropriate if I was going out with another guy." I said looking away from him focusing on the little trees that pass us.
"Boyfriend huh? Since when?" He asked sounding shocked. What does me having a boyfriend sound ridiculous?
"Since yesterday and why did you say it like that. You said it with shock in your voice?"
"No I... I didn't mean to be rude or anything I just thought you were hesitant because you liked me." He said parking his car and turning it off.
I gasped at his notion. "Like you? What gave you that Idea?"
"Well firstly at The Blondes party you had a full stare down with me. It looked like you wanted to eat me. Secondly, at the company when you ran into the door you stared at me with such adoration for me in your eyes. Lastly, at the grocery store when we shook hands there was a spark and I know you felt that spark because you pulled away quickly." He took a long breath and rested back in his seat waiting for me to say something.
"Let me tell you some mister first of all the only reason I stared at you is because you stared at me. Secondly, I looked at you like that in the bathroom because I was trying to see who was touching me. Lastly, the spark was most likely you rubbing your hands together or something." I open up his door and head towards the ice cream shop. I hear him getting out of the car and shuffling behind me.
"I guess I was wrong then."
"Maybe you were." He wasn't, but I had to stay strong.
We arrived at the ice cream shop. I start observing the menu on side while he observes it on another. I can't believe he thought I had some type of feelings for him. Don't get me wrong he's a nice, good-looking guy any girl would swoon for him. I won't deny it at point in time I was quite fond of time but like I said it was a 'point in time'. Now I am with Myers who likes me and is my age might I add. I want him not Alexander.
"Hi folks what would you like?" The man at the booths asks us. He's wearing a blue/white Ice cream t-shirt and a white ice cream cone hat. I look towards his shirt to see what his name is, Peter.
"Hi Peter, how are you?" He gives me a smile and tells me that he's fine.
"I'm doing well and how about yourself?" He asks.
"Fine thank you for asking. I would like a vanilla chocolate chip ice cream please." He nods towards me and then looks to Alexander for his answer.
"Oh, uhm I'll take a plain vanilla ice cream." Peter goes to the back and starts making the Ice cream.
"Plain ice cream really?" He starts to walk near to me and puts his hand up in front of his face to block the sun.
"Yeah got a problem with it?" He says with a snarky type of voice.
"No... Just observing." I tell him.
Peter comes back with my ice cream and Alexanders. I start to pull out my wallet to pay for mine, before I could hand Peter the money Alexander hands him a 5 before I could.
"You know I can pay for my own ice cream you know, I'm not poor." I tell him putting my hand on my hip.
"I know that, I would feel less of a gentleman If I let you pay for your own meal." Peter takes the 5 dollars and then gives Alexander and me a good day. We find a seating area with an umbrella in the far corner of the place. We both sit down and start to devour our ice cream.
"Why do you do that?" He asks licking his spoon.
"Do what?" I pick up my napkin to wipe the ice cream off my lips.
"Defy me. I just wanted to do something nice for you and you shut me down." He puts his spoon down and focuses all his attention on me.
"I don't mean to defy you it's just I was raised to be independent I've never had to lean on anyone before, so it's hard for me to let someone do stuff for me." I tell him as I scoop up some ice cream.
"Well you're just going to have to get used to it because I'll be doing lots of nice stuff for you and I'll be paying."
"What do you mean all the time this is a one-time thing buddy." This guy.
"I beg to differ, just eat your ice cream." He said pointing towards my ice cream.
"Don't tell me what to do. Who the hell do you think you are?" I said raising my voice to him. I slide my ice cream in the garbage can, I've lost my appetite.
"I am Alexander Germani, and I wasn't saying it to tell you what to do I just said it to see what you would say."
"So, you like making me angry?"
