Love At Last

Ice cream date

Lily

We strolled to the counter of the ice cream shop and Jacek had already started his jubilation on Cayden’s body has he carried him on his arms.

“What flavour of ice cream would his royal highness like?” Cayden asked Jacek like his was a king and it made me smile

“Vanilla!!!” We both laughed and then he turned to ask me

” How about you Lily, are you a vanilla flavor fan too?”

“Nah, chocolates are to die for” I arcmy head up as if to find something I left on the ceiling.

“Alright, I’ll have what the beautiful lady is having then” he says and my cheeks immediately turn red

We got seated and our conversations began, we would get to know each other a whole lot better, at least I wanted to know him better.

“So we’ve always been on and up about my life and you literally almost know everything about me but I sadly can’t say the same for me, I know little about you Cayden except that you work in a company, dress really nicely and drive nice cars too” he chuckles a little then responds

“What would you like to know me then?” He stares into my eyes and I could not help but notice his glitter.

“Everything Cayden, everything”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He laughs “Everything is quite a difficult thing to ask for where do I even start from”

“Alright, since you asked for it, tell me how you became a casanova. I don’t know why but I want to believe you weren’t always this way” before we got this close, Cayden would absolutely flare up whenever I called him out for being a casanova but this time he was very calm and collected.

“Well it all started from a childhood trauma. My mother was never around and when I say never around I mean she was always with any man that was not my father. She would bring different men to the house when he was not around and sometimes even did it when he was. But my Dad did nothing, he didn’t even shout for once. She would always mock him for being less of a man, that he didn’t have the balls to do what other men did to take care of their families and give her the lavish lifestyle that she desired. My Dad soon had cancer that eventually took his life, yet all the times we were in the hospital my mother never came. She only came to claim some of his stuffs and left ever since. I also tried finding true love in order to compensate what I’d not had in a female figure in my life but even that didn’t work out for me”

I had lost my appetite for my ice cream and could almost feel an ocean of tears looming on my eyes

“Week that’s enough about me, what about you? I barely see any guy in your life which tells me you must be picky. What’s your definition of a perfect man?”

“Well first of all, there is no perfect man. I feel the perfection comes from his intentionality towards you” he smiles widely and then lowers it back as if to signal me to continue “he has to be caring, resourceful, passionate, charismatic, funny ofcourse, kind and many more attributes but I can understand that one cannot have it all, so yeah… I guess that’s that”

“I doubt I meet any of those qualities on you list” he says as he looks at me while sipping his semi melted ice cream.

“I know what you’re trying to do, you want me to tell you that you actually meet my expected qualities so you head can swell right?

He laugh and waves his hands in the air in surrender ” I guess you got me”

We both laugh it out and continue taking scopes of our ice cream before I feel the need to use the rest room

“Hey, I need to use the rest room, I’ll be right back”

“Alright, we’ll be here waiting” he responds as I walk away to the restroom.

I go to wash my hands after taking a pea and then I hear a ladies voice call for me.

“Hey slut, yes you, you dirty slut” I first turn to check if there was anyone beside me but there was no one, I was the only person here. I would turn around to see three laddies standing not too far from me

“Sorry do I know you?” I try to comport myself

“You can’t my dear, I don’t mix myself with sluts, at least not anymore” I am still confused as to why this lady was verbally attacking me but she does not stop “Both you and that excuse for a man out there who calls himself Cayden are both sluts and you both deserve each other, at least that would save every one else from your dirt”

“Look I do not know who you ladies are or what your issue is but I can see why Cayden left you, you’re all just soar people who do not have better things to do with their lives but to follow men around. So now tell me, who’s the slut?

The ladies get provoked and one of them immediately tries to attack me while the others approach from behind but I slap and push her away, forcing her friends to hesitate, giving me room to escaped the restroom. I immediately alert the security and the ladies are escortedd out of the premises.

“What happened Lily” Cayden rushes to me and ask but I do not respond

“Hey Candy, would you like to go to the park and play” I ask Jacek and he responds in excitement

“Yes mama
