8 Ch.8| Icecream (2/2)

Opposite the counter was a cute teenage girl, around 15. The name written ”Crysa” on the tag attached to her shirt.

”Hello, what can I get for you today?” Crysa said with a polite smile.

”Two blue raspberry icecream cones.” He looked down at Dante, ”Do you want a waffle cone?”

The small boy nodded his head while the girl looked on in adoration of the kids cute features.

”Both waffle cones.” Arius looked up at the girl.

”Is that all?” She continued to smile.

”That's all.”

”Alright, wait a moment.” Crysa turned around.

”Bethany, get two raspberrie icecreams, both with waffle cones.”

The pair stood at the side, quietly waiting for their icecream. When they got it, the both of them left with smiles. Arius thought that perhaps Dante's adorable smile could cure cancer.

That was when his phone buzzed, he got a text. He didn't know who it was from since he didn't bother to read it. Arius and Dante sat outside, happily eating their icecream. Although Dante stopped smiling after awhile.

”How do you like it?” Arius asked.

”It's good.” Dante has his eyes focused on the cone in his hand, he was quiet but content. Arius decided not to bother him again while he ate.

The two finished and left for the car, Dante sat in the passenger seat once again. Arius felt that it was rather dangerous for a child his age, but he didn't want to over step his bounds with the kid. He could always correct his behavior later, but right now he didn't feel 5that he held much power over Dante.

”That girl's name was Crysa.” Dante spoke first.

”You can read?”

Dante nodded in response.

”How old are you again?” Arius was surprised by that revelation.

Dante hesitated, ”Five. Or maybe Six.”
