"Are you nervous?" Asked Ryan over the phone.

He had been eating my head since I got out of the house to meet Florence.

I was waiting for her for 15 minutes and she wasn't still here.

Okay okay...it was my fault. I went there 20 minutes earlier.

"I want to pee." I told Ryan, still on the phone.

"Oh bro! You're nervous!" He exclaimed. He started to annoy me again.

"Ryan! For heaven's sake! I'm not nervous." I replied.

He started to laugh.

"Okay laugh as much as you want. I hanging up. Bye." I answered and hung up the phone.

I was literally observing every girl who passed by with an umbrella, hoping that it was Florence.

Finally, I saw a dark blue umbrella approaching. She was finally here.

"Hey! I'm  sorry, am I late?" She asked.

"Not at all." I replied with a smile.

"Let's go." She said.

We reached the ice cream vendor. It was on the street itself and Florence didn't mind.

While she was eating her vanilla- flavoured ice cream, she kept on praising how delicious it was.

I was so lost by her voice. I felt butterflies in my tummy. She looked so cute while she was enjoying her ice cream.

Suddenly I heard a male's voice.

"Hey Twan, my boy."

At first I thought it was my father and my hair stood on it's end. But when he said "my boy" , I was confident that it was Mr Seth Adams, my teacher.

"Hello sir. How are you?" I greeted.

"I'm good and you. How come you're here today. Oh. So, enjoying an ice cream alone huh?" He teased.

"Oh no. I'm actually here with my friend Flo...." I was turning to introduce him to Florence but she wasn't here.

"Where did she go?" I muttered.

"Oh is that your little girlfriend." Mr Seth teased again.

"No. Just a friend. She was here a second." I replied.

"Okay. Maybe she thought you might get in trouble or something and she left." He said.

"No. Why would she think of that. She must be somewhere here." I replied.

"Okay. Go find her and have a good day. I need to leave now. Goodbye my boy." He said with a wide smile.

"Yeah you too. Bye" I replied.

When he was gone, I started to look for Florence.
Looking for her, I eventually reached in front of my university. I called her several times but she wasn't picking up.

I searched again and to my surprise, while searching, I saw Mr Seth Adams entering the house where Florence does her babysitting job.

"What the....." I whispered.
