Alex: fidgeting with his coffee cup Sh-shit, she’s here. Why’d she have to s-show up now?
I’m just gonna go like a straight up 2 blocks down. You know how she gets when she sees me there.
looks at SorbetCalmness with concern Yo, for real though, why is she here? What's the deal?
She’s probably jealous cuz we’re in a cafe together and she ain’t with me. Just act natural bro.
rolls eyes Natural? In front of your ex? Yeah right, I'll just pull a rabbit outta my hat while I'm at it. snaps fingers
she holds a grudge against you because you had an argument a few months ago and haven’t spoken to each other since
stands up abruptly Fuck this. I'm not gonna sit here and let her intimidate us. Let's go, we'll find another spot.
It’s ok..I don’t need you to fight my battles for me..I’ll just go home if that’s what you think is best..she says sadistically
grabs SorbetCalmness's hand No, no, no, don't even think like that! We're not letting her ruin our day. quickly scans the area
she spots an empty table across the room T-there's an empty table..we could sit over there.
grinning Now we're talkin'! Let's make a run for it and grab a booth before she comes after us with her posse.
as they walk to the table she keeps looking back to see where her ex is
whispering urgently Keep your head down, Sorb. Don't make eye contact. We gotta get to that booth before she notices us.
her ex notices where they’re going & starts walking towards them
As they rush to the booth, SorbetCalmness's ex-girlfriend catches up to them and creates a scene, accusing SorbetCalmness of stealing Alex from her.
she grabs your arm and takes you away
pulls away angrily Hey, back off! We ain't got time for your drama. glares at ex-girlfriend Look, we don't have anything to say to you. So just back the fuck off, alright? Ex-Girlfriend: laughs sarcastically Oh, is that what you want? For me to back off? Well, guess what? I'm done playing nice. From now on, I'm gonna make your life a living hell! storms off
she looks extremely embarrassed & walks away
turns to SorbetCalmness Are you okay? That was... intense. Let's get outta here and grab some ice cream to cheer you up. What do you say?
Ice cream sounds great..thank you.
grinning Alright, let's go then! I know this amazing ice cream parlor just a few blocks away. You won't be able to resist their flavors.
after they finish getting ice cream, they walk home together
puts his arm around SorbetCalmness's shoulders You know, even though that encounter was messed up, I'm glad we got to spend time together today.
pauses for a moment, then speaks quickly Hey, you know what? Let's do something spontaneous tomorrow. How about we go to that new amusement park downtown?
