A Message From My Ex (Completed)

Chapter 10: Over Chocolate Ice Cream

Hey guys~!  Thanks for reading and I am SO sorry for not updating in a while.  It's just that I've been having so much work.  I have to help some of my watty friends so I have to update three different stories so...just forgive me.  I am so sorry.  But here you go.

~The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.  There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.~

What do you do when something you work so hard on just shatter in front of you and you don't even know it didn't go right?

I remembered tending a small orchid flower last year.  I tried my best to tend it and even back then, I was already pretty good in gardening so you could imagine the horror in my face when I woke up one morning and saw that it had wilted all of a sudden and nothing I did could fix it.  It was a horrible feeling but it was just a plant.  What happens when a situation like that involved actual people?  People you love?

I stared at her cute round face.  Her long brunette hair fell to her shoulders in a subtle way and her beautiful hazel eyes stared back at mine.  Her cheeks were as rosy as our last encountered and her lips were pink and thin - just the why I like them.  It was still amazing how I could describe Lindsey like the back of my head and maybe it was the little things like that that made me fall in love with her.

I clutched the crumby message in my pocket refusing to show it to her for some odd reason.  We just stared at each other.  I was honestly expecting this big romantic kiss of the century when we laid eyes on each other but nothing is happening. I would kiss her but her eyes told me otherwise.  I wanted her to kiss me.  My eyes were begging for her to but like I said, we just stood there face-to-face.

"Chris." She finally spoke.  I love how gentle her voice was.  Like an angel.

"Lindsey." I managed to make a weak smile.

"W-what are you doing here?"  She asked.

Her expression was worried. I expected a huge smile.  Her face turned all white and she just...looked worried.  Why was this happening?

"I love you." I said.

I love you.  It was such out of the blue.  Normally, I would hit myself for saying those three heavy words to a girl but this was different. It was Lindsey.  My heart just burst open when I saw her again.  I didn't even care because I knew that she would say it back.

"Umm...Chris, could...you answer my question?"  She said again.

I was shocked.  Where's my i-love-you?

"Can I come in?" I asked.

She nodded and I sat on one of her dining chairs.  Her apartment was somewhat shabby.  She always wanted a sort of shabby by homey apartment. I didn't.

Lindsey checked her cupboard and softly cursed when she couldn't find what she was looking for.  "Umm...I don't have coffee."

"I'd love some chocolate ice cream." I chuckled even with the gloomy atmosphere.

She bit her lip.  I smiled when she turned around.  When she wanted to smile but tried to hide it, she bit her lip.  Lindsey absolutely loves chocolate.  She always has  a tub of chocolate ice cream in her freezer and back in college, when I came to her apartment and she couldn't offer me coffee or other beverages, we ate chocolate ice crem.

She placed two cups of chocolate ice cream piled high up to the top just the way she likes it.  I took mine and ate it.  Ben and Jerry.

"What are you doing here, Chris?"  Lindsey asked for what must've been the millionth time.
