"So is this a habit of yours? Treating girls ice-cream?" I asked jokingly as I licked my chocolate ice-cream.
"Only the pretty ones like you." Heath teased.
I laughed and punched his arm playfully.
"Ouch.. Haha so is that a habit of yours too? Punching guys?" He joked.
"Only the jerks."
"Hey! I'm not a jerk! Jerks don't treat girls ice-cream, you know.." Heath said and pretended to look sad.
I chuckled in amusement. Heath, Ash, Evan and I are all at the mall now getting ice-cream treats. Ice-cream never tasted so good! Well, because it's free! I looked over at Ash and Evan. They were both having their own little 'who can lick ice-cream the fastest' competition. I watched them for a while and I noticed that Heath was staring at me again.. Okay so he thinks I'm cute, whatever.. But can he just quit doing that?
"You have a little ice-cream on your chin.." Heath pointed out.
"What?" I exclaimed in horror. Argh how embarrassing! I quickly grabbed a napkin and tried to wipe it off but I guess it's still there because Heath keeps on laughing at me now.
"You missed the spot.. Here, let me do it for you.."
He used his thumb and slowly wiped it off my chin. I felt a tingling sensation when his skin touched mine. I mumbled thanks and looked away quickly.. I had no idea why I felt this way.. Why did I feel a small thrill of excitement when he touched my chin?

"I really had a great time today. And so does Ash, right Ash?" Nat smiled and looked at Ash.
Ash nodded and beamed at me. "Thanks for making me feel better just now superman Heath! And thanks for the ice-cream too!"
I smiled back at her. "Superman says no problem!"
We just reached our houses and were standing at our sidewalks. Honestly, I didn't want to go home yet. I still want to spend time with Nat. I want to talk to Nat. I want to get to know her more. This time, it's for real.. I think I'm really falling for her.. Nat is a really special girl.. She's sweet, funny and cute.. And she blushes a lot which makes her even cuter!
"Hey Evan, why don't you head inside first?" I said to Evan hoping he gets the message.
Nat catches my eye and told the same thing to Ash. "Ash, you too. Why don't you go inside the house first?"
[Natasha]
I watched as Ash and Evan both head inside their own houses and here I am.. Standing alone with Heath. Honestly, I had a great day today.. No no, I had a fantastic one. I never expected to have so much fun with Heath! He's actually pretty funny and a nice person to talk to.. And I can't deny that the fact that he's super cute! Plus, he's extremely sweet to Ash. BONUS! Any guy that clicks well with kids sure impresses me..
"I'm surprised that you're good with kids.. Especially with Ash" I admitted to him.
He just shrugged. "I love kids and Evan is cool and all, but I've always wanted a little sister.. If I had a little sister, I'd take care of her and pamper her.. I'd bring her out all the time.. I'd even play dolls with her just to keep her happy. I would treat her just like a princess." He smiled.
"Aww! That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.. And it's coming from a guy like you!" I laughed and shook my head in disbelief.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? You don't think I can be a sweet brother, huh?"
"After seeing how sweet you can be to Ash.. Well, I now believe you are a sweet brother. I never knew you're so good with kids!"
"There are so many things you don't know about me, Nat." He says casually flipping his hair.
"Oh really? And what are the other things that I don't know?"
He smiled. "Well I can't just tell you! You have to go out with me again to find out yourself.."
I rolled my eyes and bite my lips to prevent myself from smiling. Did he just ask me out? The truth is that I'd be more than happy to go out with him again. But I have to play it cool.. Play a little hard to get.. I can't just say yes.. If he's going to ask me out again, he has to try harder!
[Heath]
BOOOOM! I jumped at the sound of thunder. I felt a drop of rain on my shoulder. I looked up.. Oh no, looks like it's about to rain. The sky is already filled with dark clouds. Nat looked up and started covering her head.
"Hey.. I guess I better go.. Today was.. Um.. Really fun.." Nat said hesitating for a while.
"Yeah.. So does that mean you will go out with me again?" I asked hopefully.
She chuckled and walked away. I stood there watching her as rain started to pour even harder. So is that a yes or no? I wondered.. She kept on walking.. If she turns around, I'll take the answer as a yes. If no.. Well.. It's a no..
Nat kept on walking.. Turn around Nat, turn around.. I silently hoped.
Turn around.. Now.. Now.. Turn around..
Nat was already at the foot of her house. She started searching for the keys in her pocket. She found it and opened the lock. My heart sank..
And right at that moment, she turned around and our eyes met. She gave a small smile and finally went inside her house, shutting the door. I stood rooted to the spot. My hair is now damped and my shirt is soaked in water as the rain poured harder.. But I didn't care! She turned around so the answer is a yes! I grinned to myself as I head inside the house.. I'm going to ask her out on a date!
