Chapter 215
The bell over the door jingles as we step inside. The place smells like waffle cones and happiness, which is exactly what I need. I head for the counter, but Liam doesn’t move he’s still leaning against me like I’m the only thing keeping him upright.
“You’re heavy,” I mutter, trying to shove him off.
He doesn’t budge. “Girlfriend privilege. You’re required to hold me up.”
I roll my eyes but secretly… yeah, I don’t hate it.
“What do you want?” I ask, scanning the flavours.
“You.”
I turn and stare at him. He’s got that lazy smirk plastered across his pale face, eyes tired but annoyingly smug.
“I was talking about the flavours. Keep up, Mr. Calloway,” I say, fighting a smile. “Do you want chocolate or vanilla?”
He leans down, lips brushing my temple. “Whichever one you’ll feed me so I don’t have to lift a spoon.”
I groan. “What am I going to do with you? I thought you didn’t even have a sweet tooth.”
“I don’t. I just like the idea of a charming sick prince and a fussy princess on an ice cream date. Should we pitch it to Disney?”
I don’t even bother anymore. I just pat him on the head.
We end up in a corner booth, Liam collapsed against the vinyl like the world’s most dramatic patient. I set down our cups – mint chip for me, plain chocolate for him because apparently his taste buds stopped maturing at age eight.
“Open,” I command, holding up a spoonful.
He obeys, mouth parting without a word, and I can’t help laughing at how unashamed he looks like this is a perfectly normal date ritual.
“Good?” I ask.
He chews with exaggerated seriousness, then swallows. “Best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had.”
Who even chews ice cream? What a weirdo, but I say nothing because he looks miserable enough. “It’s literally the same as every other place.”
He shakes his head. “Nope. This one tastes different. Special.”
I narrow my eyes. “Because I bought it?”
“With my card?” He grins, sticky and smug. “But yes. Exactly. Everything’s better when it’s from you.”
I try to play it off, but heat creeps up my neck. “You’re unbearable.”
