Chapter 11: Thank You, Part 2
Later on that evening...
Knock! Knock! Knock! Her head turned towards the door instantly. She smiled getting up of her couch. A minute passed and he started to wonder if she was home.
"Hey, Calleigh, you in there? It's me, Ryan," he called out. She ran about in her apartment looking for the shoes. It was completely frustrating when all you have is heels for work and one pair of comfortable shoes.
"Stay outside!" she shouted back.
"What!?" he wondered if she was crazy.
"I said stay outside, I'm coming!" She opened the door to see his confused face.
"You're not gonna invite me in?"
"No, 'cause we're not staying inside." Calleigh stepped outside and locked her door.
"So where are we going?" he asked.
"You'll see!" she grabbed his hand out of his pocket and pulled him along behind her.
In no time they were on the roof of the building. Ryan saw a large blanket laid out on the ground with a cooler on top in the middle of the pavement. He observed the scenery of other buildings with their different sizes which surrounded them.
"Take a seat," she offered. They both chose a spot facing each other on oppostie sides of the blanket.
"This is nice," he complimented raising his eyebrows. Calleigh grabbed the cooler and rested it in her lap.
"Chocolate, strawberry or vanilla?" she asked with a luminous smile.
"Cal., it depends on what it is."
"Just choose!" They both laughed.
"Uhhh, all of them," he grinned.
"You silly, you can't have all three. No wonder your belly is so big," she said joking with him, making him blush. He immediately laughed and looked down.
"I'm joking, I'm joking. I tell you what," she opened the box, "you can have two scoops and I'll have one."
"Okay I'll have the vanilla and the strawberry."
Soon they were both enjoying their ice-cream cones. Ryan, two scoops and Calleigh, one.
"The only reason I gave you the chocolate is because I know," he paused for a lick, "how much women love it." Calleigh smiled while sucking off the melting chocolate on her cone.
"I would have taken the other flavors too, if you wanted - my - mouth watering - chocolate." She sluped between her words. He smirked staring into the sky.
The sun was almost down, leaving an orange, blue and partially black setting. Her eyes gazed upon him. He sat with his legs stretched out crossing them and his hand supported him from behind. He was busy licking the around the cone before the drops touched his fingers. His background was orange lit. Then she looked away. Glancing over, he noticed her neat form: crossed legs sitting up straight in an almost black background. Her ice-cream had disappeared, leaving half of the cone. Her hair frayed in the small wind that blew. Looking up she laughed and reached inside the cooler and handed him a napkin. The vanilla was all over his hand.
"Oh shoot, thanks," he took it wiped his hand off. When he was finished he sighed lying down flat on his back.
"You're right, I do have a fairly large stomach," Ryan admitted with a smirk. They both giggled for a moment and suddenly he heard a gasp. He glanced over at her. She raised a hand to her forehead exposing stitches over a nasty cut. She closed her eyes in pain and he sat up immediately.
"Calleigh, you okay?"
"It must be the ice-cream; brainfreeze," she put on a fake smile the frowned right after she did.
"You should lay down..."
"No," she declined, cutting of his words, "I'll be fine." Ryan gave her the look.
"You know what?" he reached over and pushed the box out of the way, "you are too stubborn." He held her hand pulling it slightly, making her move beside. Soon she was leaning on him; resting her slender back on his chest. This was unlike Calliegh, but there was too much pain to disagree. She admired his comfort and told him the sweetest thing.
"Thank you."
