Chapter 23 - This Looks Like An Ice Cream Date But It's Not Official (Edited) 📸

"No pictures" one of the security that accompanied me yelled in a really loud voice that I would recognize anywhere and reluctantly everyone obeyed the huge 6 feet tall man.

"Thank you for that, Nelson but I will be fine on my own now" I said to the security men following me.

My Dad had employed many security men to protect all his children and keep us safe and when I was younger I couldn't even go around much without being followed by at least 10 huge men all in black suits and dark shades.

They nodded in response and went to stand guard at the entrance.

Gradually the few people around returned back to whatever they were doing and I was happy for once that no one paid me any attention so I walked over to Marc who was still standing where he was, thankfully near the counter which was far from any eavesdropping of the customers.

"Hey, you never mentioned anything about having a second job or something" I said nonchalantly trying to hide the sadness I was feeling inside as I took a seat on one of the bar stools.

"I-... you never asked" he said picking up a menu and giving it to me.

"Why take two jobs when you have one that pays you very well enough... are you a workaholic?" I asked as I took the menu from him.

"No I'm not" he said simply.

"You're like a special book Marco, no matter how many times I read you there will always be new secrets to discover" I said as I scanned the menu.

"Then you have to read more to keep on knowing more" he said chuckling.

I playfully rolled my eyes and being here with him had made me forget the worries I had earlier.

"I'll have this, double" I said pointing to my favorite ice cream.

"Okay" he said and went behind the counter and scooped the two flavors into the little plastic cups and gave them to me.

"Thanks" I said as I moved the cups closer to me.

"That'll be... $250 Dollars" he said looking at the computer.

"I'll pay by transfer" I said as I checked my pocket for my ATM but I couldn't find it and then it hit me, I forgot to take it with me today, but thankfully I always carry some extra cash around.

"Shit, I forgot my card, I'll have to pay in cash" I said to him and handed him the money.

He counted the money then looked at me with wide eyes

"This is a thousand, the bill is $250 Dollars" he said handing me the rest of the money

I shook my head.

"Keep it... let's say it's a tip" I said and his eyes grew wider.

"This is a lot of tip but you have done enough already for me which I'm really thankful for and I'm sorry I cannot take this" he said.

"I can't take it back because I don't want the money so you keep it" I said and scooped a spoonful of ice cream sand shoved it in my mouth quickly to avoid any more discussion.
