Unexpected

• Chapter Twenty-Nine •

"Freaking." Goes Ana.

"Way." Finishes Rolo.

I roll my eyes at their behaviour.

"Finally." Says Evelyn.

Raphael and Israel just nod towards Abel.

"When did this happen!" Shouts Rani.

"How come you never told me!" Rolo stares at me in frustration.

At this point, people all around us are staring with disapproving and intriguing eyes at the commotion being caused.

"You're all over reacting." I say.

Before they can respond, Abel jumps in. "I actually only asked her out a few days ago, it hasn't been long.

"That's probably not the point, but I'm happy for you guys. It definitely took you longer than I expected though Abel." Says Ana.

"I was waiting for the right time."

Rani and Rolo continue to be mad for a little longer before giving in.

"Okay fine, I'm happy for you too." Says Rolo.

"But now you have to tell us every single detail!" Rani leans over the table excitedly.

"Um, maybe later Ran." I quickly divert the attention from us and into Raph and Ana. "What about you guys?"

Raphael smiles adoringly at Ana and grabs her hand. "I've never been happier." Ana rests her head against his shoulder.

They're so cute.

I look at Evelyn and Israel, "We're taking it slow." Of course, that's all Israel says. I really do wonder how they're conversations go since he barely speaks.

Abel removes his arm from my shoulder and continues eating. A couple minutes later and he's completely finished.

I am flabbergasted. He said he could finish it all but still..

"You are an animal Abel."

He smiles at me cheekily, "I was hungry."

I look down at my plate to see some food still on. "You can have mine then."

"Only if you feed it to me."

I roll my eyes at him, "You're such a big baby." Nevertheless, I fork some chicken and give it to him.

I watch his Adam's apple move as he chews slowly. He's definitely caught me watching him. I don't understand why I'm finding everything he does incredibly attractive. It's like I'm turned on all the time.

Abel finally swallows and tilts his head towards me, "I love how your eyes are always on me."

I suddenly start to feel all shy again. "Don't do that."

"Don't go all shy on me now. You know I'm always looking at you."

Instead of responding, I smile and lean my head in his shoulder.

"Can you both stop flirting for a second? We'd all like to leave now." Of course, it's Rolo that speaks up for everyone.

"Alright alright, no need to get all grumpy about it."

We all quickly pay for our food and head out. Raphael and Ana leave in one car, Israel and Evelyn go in his while Rolo and Rani leave together.

Instead of Abel taking me home straight away, he suggests an ice cream place that he knows. Yes, its November and it's getting pretty cold but who even cares? Ice cream is an all around the year kind of food. You're happy? Eat ice cream. Sad? Eat ice cream. Watching a movie? Eat ice cream. I think you get the point now.
