//------------------------------// // Six // Story: What if... // by Sunset Awesomness17 //------------------------------// We rode on the motorcycle in a moderate speed and just really cruse around town and the neighborhood. “What are we doing.” Adagio asks. I laughed. “Shhhh, you'll see. Now hush.” I could feel that she wanted to say something back but, she didn’t. I drove through a neighborhood and stopped at and over night Ice cream shop. “What flavor do you want?” “I’m not hungry.” She says. But, I repeat my question. “What flavor?” “Sunset, what are we doing here?” She asks again curious as to what I had in mind. Losing my patience I got off of the motorcycle, turned it off, took my keys and went inside. Not knowing what she liked, I just got her a vanilla ice waffle cone with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top. I got myself the same just so that I didn’t get a special kind. I payed and came out, they had a lids on them, so I put the on the cup holders in the front. I hoped back on the bike and before she could even say anything, I spoke up. “Wrap your arms around me.” She does as she’s told and we take off to a nearby stream. Once we get there, I shut off the motor and we get off to sit on the side of the stream. It is a beautiful place. It is cool, the sun has finally gone down and hid underneath the Earth. The wind has picked up a little, sending a cooler breeze through the trees, down the the ground and back to the sky. The sky turning a dark navy blue, the moon and few stars are poking out of the black void they are in. I look at Adagio as I handed her one of the ice cream waffle cones. “This......this is we’re doing.” She smiled. “Well, I must admit that it is nice it here.” She took her ice cream and gave it a lick. I looked up for a moment to look at the moon. It’s moonlight shining gently on the darkened Earth. Then I looked back down to get my own ice cream, gasping a little when I find that it was no longer there. I turned my head to look at Adagio to see that she was holding it close to my face. I didn’t have time to react before she pushed down my head with her free hand, causing me to face plant into the ice cream. “Hey?!” Then all I could hear was her laughing. “Bitch!” I spat out and grabbed her ice cream and smashed it into her face. Once she got the ice cream away from her eyes, she looked up at me with a surprise look, along with a shocked open smile. Seeing another opportunity I smiled evilly and stuffed her ice cream into her opened mouth. She took it while almost choking on it from laughter and gave it a lick. “Oh this is good! Thank you!” She said before she stuffed it while into her mouth and went for mine. Seeing this my hand goes for my ice cream, but too late, she grabs it and I turn my head only for her to grab hold of it and force me to face her, and then she smashes it into my lips. The ice cream making its way up my nose as well. “Ahh!” I moved away and grabbed a tissue from my boot, and blew out the ice cream laughing along side with Adagio. I go to cram my ice cream into my mouth, but as it is about to go into my mouth, Adagio tickles my side and my body does a spasm and I lend into the side that was getting attacked. My ice cream on the other hand, heh no pun intended 👀, was smashed accidentally into Adagio face, causing her to pause in her tickling. Which gave me enough time to stuff the rest of my ice cream down my throat. I looked back up at Adagio, who was giving me one of her signature smirks. “Hmmm, I dare say that you are.......” She scoffs glancing at the sky. “...ahuh...cute when you’re covered in ice cream.” Then she bursted our laughing. My face grew a little red. “I am not cute!” She laughs some more, “Oh my bad you’re right, more like adorable." My face only blushes more and I look away and adopted a smirk of my own. “And you’re a little.....bitch.” She scoffed again. “What? What did you say ponygirl?” I laughed out loud and repeated what I said, but said in a very sassy like voice, throwing in a lot of attitude into my words, smiling huge. “You. Are. A little. Bitch.” She laughed and then spoke again. I was not expecting her next words. “Says the girl who ditched her friends to uh......spend more time with me.” I gasped. “What? That did not happen!” I said. “Oh really? You did not ditched them last night?” Damn, she was right about that, but not for the reason. “Yeah, but to pamper myself.” She laughs, “And that’s supposed to be better?” My face immediately turns a bright red, brighter than before. I gave a fake cough. “Maybe.” She chucked at that and forced me to look at her. “You’re cute when you blush.” I squinted my eyes at her, being a little petty with her and huffing my breath out from my nose toward her. Her next question surprises me though. “So uh......do you......always go silent when someone compliments you?” I quickly backed a few inches away from her. “Silent? Ha! Maybe so. What’s the point in responding to something so......untrue?” She lets out another laugh. “Oh is that so? How is that not true?” I elbowed her and scoffed. “Pfft! Telling me that I’m cute? What kind of lie is that?” She raises and eyebrow while keeping up her smirk. “Oh, but you are? I’m not so sure how you could ever be.....heh....a mean girl. Much less a Queen B.” Oh, did she just say that?! “O-oh! So I’m too nice for you huh? Well my apologies, let me just give you a little taste of my bitchy side aye?” I quickly grabbed some dirt, nearly ripped her shirt collar getting it opened and dumped it down her shirt. She immediately jumped up when I dropped the sand and started to fan it out to try and get out the sand. “Well shit Sunshine!” I only laughed at her reaction. “Don’t call me cute!” I said. She looked up at me and gave me that same smirk. “Mmm, whatever you say, Sunshine.” “Oh and my name is, Sunset. Not Sunshine.” I tell her. She smiles at me as she looks down, (since I am shorter than her), she bit her lip before she spoke. “Is that right? Alright then, Sunshine is not your thing. That’s fine, I’ll just call you Sunny then.” “No!” I protested, but she only laughed at my protest and ignored it. “Yep, I think it suits you well.” I groaned under my breath. ‘THIS GIRL IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME! LITERALLY!’ I thought to myself. Then I adopted my own smirk once more, “Okay, fine, then I’ll call you, Dagi.” I say to her. She raises an eyebrow and then rolls her eyes. “Fine by me, Sunny.” I blushed a little harder at the use of the nickname she has decided to call me. Although, Nana calls me that, no one else does or even knows it exists. Hell! If they knew I would not have gotten as far in my ruling in that school at all. “What are they going to do when they learn about that....” I mumbled under my breath. “What was that?” I looked up to see a confused Adagio looking at me. “Oh! Sorry, I was thinking, um it’s getting a little late now. We should probably head back.” I tell her, not wanting to voice my actual thoughts. She seemed to become a little disappointed at the prospect of going back home, but she nodded. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right.” She agreed. “This was fun though. Thank you for bringing me here.” She added. Thank you? I have not really ever been told that before..... it feels weird having it said to me, but it also feel kinda nice. “You’re....” I had to search for the word. “Welcome.” She smiled that same wicked smirk at me. “I definitely had fun with you. Who knew you were so much fun to mess with.” She said. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at her. Then she suddenly reached out and grabbed my tongue. I squeaked at the sudden movement, gasping when she reached out for my tongue. Then she brought her face close to mine, still holding my tongue. ‘Like bish that hurts!’ She gets so close to me, I can smell her sweet butterscotch breath, feel the warmth of it. “And I dare say you are cute.” She says, giggling and letting go, backing away from me. My mind now hazy from the close contact. ‘Damn, why did I let her get so close? And hold my tongue? What is up with me today?!’ I shake my head a stood up. “Whatever, come on, we need to get going before it gets any later. I don’t trust anybody at night.” I say to her, picking up owe empty ice cream stuff and tossing them into the trash, grabbing our head gear. But as I am turning around to start walking back to my motorcycle, I look to my side only to spot a glimpse of the shadowy creature watching me. I blinked my eyes and it was gone. I could feel my heart raising, my blood running an extra mile, my body becoming numb for a moment, and just as my knees gave in on me, I felt something tap me on the shoulder. Suddenly I was back at the lake staring at nothingness, I wasn’t even in the ground. ‘Was.......was that just my imagination? AM I LOSING MY MIND NOW?! I NEED TO GET HOME!’ “Um, Sunset? What are you staring at?” Adagio asked. Not really meaning to, but I guess I really am losing my shit now, I responded with a nice little bit of bitchiness, courtesy of me. “None of your fucking business, let’s go home, please.” Her eyes go wide with surprise. “Well, bite my head off why don’t you?” “Well don’t ask dumb questions.” I said to her. “Now can we go?” “I think I might know why you are a red head now. My fire breathing dragon.” Adagio joked. “But fine, if you really want to go, let’s go.” “Thank you.” I said, I turn back around and felt a hard smack on my bum. “What the hack! Ow!” Adagio laughed, “Someone has to smack the bitch right out of you somehow. Just thought I’d give it a try.” I rolled my eyes. “Look I’m sorry for acting all.....how did you put it? A bitch? But that’s what I am, a bitch. You can either take it or leave it. It don’t matter to me.” She chuckled a bit. “Oh ho! Okay then. I’ll let you be whatever you want to be.” “Thank you.” I said in a deadpanned tone, and I turned around to feel another smack on my bum. I quickly turn back around. “Smack me again, I and I’ll rip you hand off!” “But you look so cute when you’re angry.” ‘Oh $&#%@! Here we go again!’ I can feel my face heat up immediately. I quickly turned back around and started to speed walk my way out of the place. I could hear her amusement just pouring from her hidden smile. Even though I could not see it, I knew she was enjoying my expense. “Your butt juggles when you walk like that.” She says from behind me. I let out a groan and sped up my walk, choosing to ignore her taunting. ‘That girl is seriously making me cross all of my boundaries. Since when did I ever brought anyone else here? I must really be tired. I need to get some sleep!’ I thought to myself. We finally reached my BlackBeauty and climb on it. She holds on to my waist and we take off back toward my place again. The wind cooling my face as we went, yet my pride ripping to shreds as I hear her giggling and every few moments.
