A Blooming Rose

Chapter 25

"...and he was like 'I can't believe you did that' and I was like 'what do you mean you can't believe I did that? Of course I had to do that'. Mason, what kind of sane person eats cake and has no ice cream. Like fair enough sometimes I like eating cake just for the warm gooeyness of it, but even then I still have the ice cream in between. But no! This guy literally dumped it in the trash!" I yelled as Mason's shocked expression was enough. Well, I'd say it was more amused than shocked but trust me he knows what I'm talking about.

"He sounds like a dick." Mason said as I rolled my eyes and waved him off.

"Other than the disgusting choice of cake, he was nice." I shrugged.

I had walked to the campus cafe because Aunt Flo's pre arrival cravings demanded to have their red velvet cake. Though I've never craved a cake so much in my life, don't get me wrong I'm absolutely obsessed, but I was ready to kill for this cake.

Anyway, while I was waiting for my order, a biker dude came and sat on my table since all the other ones were full. He had both arms tatted and even had a huge tattoo on his head. Im sorry but I couldn't help but stare. They looked so cool!

We were both mostly sat in silence with the occasional laughing at our phones till one of the waitresses brought over my cake. Looking down at my red velvet cake with vanilla ice cream, biker dude immediately burst out laughing and mocked me! Apparently people who eat red velvet cake are the p word.

So I shot him a glare and waited for his order to come so I could judge him. And so I did. He ordered a coffee caramel cake. Let me repeat that. Coffee and caramel. I almost threw up then and there. I ended up laughing at his cake choice along with making a disgusted face.

"What the fuck are you laughing for?" He glared as I zipped my lips and shrugged my shoulders with the occasional giggles escaping my lips. "No go on, tell me red velvet." He said as he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

"You got a coffee and caramel cake. Only people with brain damage and half a lung choose to eat that." I shrugged as his jaw dropped. "And let's not forget you don't even have ice cream! Like who orders cake with no ice cream?! You could've done yourself a favour and helped numb down that disgusting taste." I said as I scrunched my nose up while he looked so offended he was going red.

"Yeah we'll I don't care about your opinion." He huffed as I rolled my eyes in amusement.

And so I did him a favour, I generously took one scoop of my vanilla ice cream and dumped it on top of his cake. He looked as though he was going to rip my throat out and eat his cake with it.

"Can you get a head tat?" I asked as I thought back to the guy.

"I don't love you enough and I will never love anyone enough to get a head tat." He said with a sarcastic smile as I rolled my eyes and pouted.

"You almost home?" He asked just as I felt chills run down my spine. Goosebumps raised on my arms as I looked around to see if I saw anyone familiar. I can't help but shake the feeling that someone's staring at me, following me even. It's the only reason I called Mason once I left the cafe, I had the same bugging feeling that someone was following me on the way here and that same feeling is back.

"Oh erm yeah, I'm almost there." I smiled as he gave me a strange look but nodded anyway. "How your day been today?" I asked just as a bunch of faces filled the screen.

"Hey Ev." They all waved as I laughed and waved back.

"How's New York without your favourite boys." Max asked as he took Mason's phone and flexed his muscles before showing me everyone else.
