Serenity: humor him
From Create Your Own Story
"Nawww, well, you seem to be nice. Serenity complimented. "Why not, we can have some ice cream."
The old man smiles in joy. "Great, but it's my treat for a lovely lady like yourself."
Serenity blushes and stores her phone back inside her handbag. As the two set off for a cold treat, Serenity imagined what this old guy really wanted. He took pictures of her on the ride and asked her to get to know him better. It gave Serenity a strange feeling. What was he planning? Then again; Serenity may just be overthinking too much. Perhaps this old man really just wanted some company, he was a flashy dresser, but for a hot day like this seemed to be unnecessary.
The two finally made it to the ice cream stand after five minutes of nothing but silence between them. Serenity stood to the side and watched as the old romeo starred at the long list of different ice creams. Paying for the treat, the old man received a large single bowl with different colored scoops of ice cream with sprinkles on top. Two spoons were on the side of the bowl giving Serenity a bit of an edgy feeling.
What... we're sharing? Serenity thought to herself uneasy. She tailed behind the old man towards a park bench where the sun shone brightly over it. Calm down, he's just being friendly. Just enjoy yourself.
Serenity sat on one side of the table where the old man placed the bowl in front of her and then sat directly opposite her. Serenity starred at the old man cautiously as he picked up a plastic spoon and passes it along to Serenity.
"Well go on my dear. We don't want this to melt now do we?" Asks the old man.
Snapping out of her gaze, Serenity took the spoon and watched as the aged man shoved his spoon into the treat and scooped out a fair amount of it where he then placed it in his mouth and swished it around. Serenity then scoops out a bit of both chocolate and strawberry and tastes it. Just like any other ice cream it was sweet, cold and nice to have on a day like this.
"I'm so sorry, I never got your name." The old man asks tilting his head.
"Oh, I'm Serenity. It's very nice to meet you." Serenity says pulling a friendly smile. "What's yours mister?"
"What a beautiful name, Serenity." Joy fills the air as the the old mans voice breaks up. "You can call me Abe, my sweet."
"Abe, a classical name." Serenity says. "Thank you for the ice cream by the way."
"It is my pleasure my dear Serenity." Abe responds as he took another scoop of ice cream. "What a lovely blue dress. Does it fit around your body comfortably?"
What a strange question. Serenity thinks moving her head back. Complimenting the dress was one thing, but asking if it fits... comfortably...Around my body?
