“You are going to love it,” she replied before taking a bite.
She closed her eyes and leaned her head back as she moaned. “Oh, my, this is so good,” she mumbled before taking another bite.
“I’m glad you liked it. During the day, it occurred to me that you might prefer something like this over a fancy dinner in a stuck-up restaurant filled with the rich,” I said, winking at her.
She blushed. Glancing around, she spoke in a softer tone. “Thank you for doing this. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.”
Nodding, I felt proud of myself and relieved that it worked out.
We finished our food and sat looking up at the sky. It was going to be a clear night, and the stars would be visible. “Have you ever thought what life could have been like if we were all the same?” she asked out of the blue.
“No, I have not. But come to think of it now, I would say life would be boring as hell. If we all did the same things, ate the same things, and did everything like each other, there would be no excitement in life,” I responded.
“If you look at it that way, yes, I can see why it could be boring. But then, on the other hand, there would be less violence and fighting, don’t you agree?” she asked.
I moved closer to her as I replied. “Yes, I agree, there would be a lot less fighting. But I think a bit of fighting sometimes is a good thing. But I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It is good to share, and I believe we have a right to say what we think.”
I got up and headed towards the trucks.
“Where are you going now?” she asked.
“You’ll see,” I replied, heading to the sweet things truck. I bought two bowls of ice cream and asked them to add loads of candy to hers. Walking back, I noticed she wasn’t looking towards me. Her attention was on something out there.
I sneaked up behind her and howled. Zhen screamed as she jumped up and turned.
“That’s not funny,” she grumbled.
“It was a little funny. You make a funny sound when you get frightened,” I replied, handing her a bowl of ice cream.
She bumped into me lightly as I sat down. “Thank you for the ice cream, but why is yours plain?” she inquired, raising her brows.
“Well,” I said confidently. “That answer is easy. You see, I’m already sweet enough.”
Her lower jaw dropped as she looked at me, shaking her head. She glanced at her ice cream and back at me, shaking her head.
Zhen leaned in closer. Using her spoon, she poured some of the candy into my bowl. “There you go. Believe me, you need them. You’re not as sweet as you may think,” she said teasingly.
Smiling at her, I considered her words. She looked over the city into the distance, biting her lower lip. I loved seeing her like this.
She slowly swirled her spoon through her ice cream before licking at the spoon. I found it enthralling to watch her. Every time she licked the spoon, I couldn’t help but wish it was me she was licking like that.
Getting up, we threw our ice cream containers in the garbage can before walking to the lawn area. Zhen lay down, and I joined her. We just lay in silence, looking at the stars in the skyfor a while. Rolling to my side so I could face her, I spoke softly. “Sorry if I have come across as being overly harsh.”
Zhen smiled as she turned towards me. We were merely inches away from each other. “I am the one who should apologize to you,” she whispered. “I know I can be a little bitchy at times.”
“Only a little?” I asked sarcastically.
Zhen slapped my chest as she made a clicking sound with her tongue. “Okay,” she said, smiling. “Maybe I am a tab bitchier at times than usual.”
“Maybe, maybe not,” I replied, unable to pull my eyes from her.
We smiled as we stared into each other’s eyes. Tenderly, I moved a strand of hair out of her face, pushing it behind her ear. I caressed her cheek, feeling the fireworks show within me ignite. She didn’t pull back; I took it as a good sign. My entire body was reacting to her.
She closed her eyes as I leaned in to kiss her. But before our lips even touched, it started to pour down. Looking up, I couldn’t believe my luck. It was clear mere seconds ago. Jumping to my feet, I held out my hand and pulled her up. Taking off my shirt, I held it over her head as we ran towards the car.
Her hand was around my waist, and her other was planted on my chest. My chest and middle felt like they were on fire from her touch. It wasn’t a burning fire. It was more like a sensual one. Having her so close and her arm around me made my dick pay attention.
As we got to the car, I opened her door and waited for her to get in before running around. We laughed as I stumbledinto the car, both of us breathing heavily from the exertion of running. Leaning back, I grabbed the spare shirt I had placed in my bag, glad I had. As I pulled it on, I saw her watching me, but she didn’t say a word.
