The Crush

A kind of date?

Antonia P.O.V
What? "I'm sorry but the trip was postponed to December the first." That's just great. Three more months to go. "And when are we returning?" I asked without raising my hand. "On December the 24th." "But that's one day before Christmas!" I said, quite annoyed. She just couldn't do that. "Yes, I'm sorry but all flights have been cancelled due to the hurricanes." I face palmed. The bell then rang. "Ja man!" I heard Cihan shout in his cute German and Turkish accent. I looked at the time. One o'clock. School was finished and we were gonna eat ice cream together. I packed my bag and hugged Linda goodbye. "Good luck." She winked before happily skipping down the corridor. That's strange. She never skips. Everybody had already left. I grabbed my brother before he could walk out and leave me alone with Cihan. "Hey Ric, I'm gonna eat ice cream with a friend. Tell dad I'll be home soon." "Ok see ya." Now we were all alone. I was about to grab my chair when I saw long arms reach and put the chair on the table. I turned around to see Cihan smiling. "Thank you. Shall we go?" He nodded and walked by my side. "Where do you want to go?" I asked. I forgot to pick out an ice cafe since I was busy yesterday talking with Linda about boys. I remember. After telling Linda, she basically always talked about him to me. She even looked at him then me. I would glare at her but she would just ignore and look away. "Toni." I laughed a bit. "What? If you wanna go somewhere else." He paused. "No! No! It's fine!" We walked to the bus station. "Ticket?" I asked hoping he'd have one so we wouldn't get in trouble. "Nope." "I'll buy you one." "No." "What?" "Don't buy me a ticket. I'll be fine. They never control right?" I blushed feeling how close he was. "Yeah." The bus arrived and we found seats. Just as we passed the Schnetztor. I heard people talking loud. "Tickets please." I panic. No way! "Next stop Bodanplatz!" The computer voice said. I grabbed his hand and got out before the controllers could stop us. We ran a bit until they were out of sight. I panted like crazy and then saw that I was still holding his hand. I let go and looked deep into his eyes. "That was crazy." "Yeah." "Lets go to the Lago (German shopping centre)" We walked in and there was my favorite ice cafe. He saw me staring and walked towards it. "What you want?" "Chocolate milkshake please." He chuckles. "You sure LOVE chocolate." I nod in embarrassment. "It's ok, I love chocolate too." For once, I felt relieved. I felt like I could be myself around him which was a good feeling. We sipped our milkshakes and I couldn't help but blush every time I felt him staring at me. "So, I wanna get to know you better." "Ok, let's play twenty questions!" I said excitedly. "Twenty questions?" I explained him how it goes and he started. "Favorite color?" "Black or dark blue. I like dark colors." "Really? Me too." I grin. "Favorite food?" "Indian and KFC and Nandos." "Nandos?" "It's a restaurant you can only find in South Africa and England. It's delicious!" "Hobbies?" "Reading, writing, singing to songs, football, drawing and painting." "Favorite flowers?" "Roses." "Favorite song?" "I don't know. I love a lot of songs." "Favorite singer?" "Justin Bieber." Please don't laugh, please don't laugh. "I like him too." What? "Favorite actor?" "Brad Pitt or Taylor Lautner." "Favorite band?" "One direction." He laughed. "One direction?" I felt myself blush. He stopped asking me questions and I finished my drink. I stood up to leave but he stopped me. "Wanna watch the movie with me on 10th October?" "I, uh, yes!" "Meet you at 2 at the bus station, don't be late!" He hugged me and left. My heart skipped a beat. I was speechless. I can't believe he hugged me and we're gonna see each other again! Yay! I sang in my head and kept on smiling all the way home.
