Chapter 25 : A sugary salt visit

We took a walk back to my house after having our breakfast but I didn't want to go home just yet. Well I know it's still early to be at Zeke's house but I wanna go there and maybe have some fun.

"Hey, you guys can go home from here, I don't think I'll be going home this early."

"What? Then where are you gonna go Clover? It's just 1 pm."

"I thought of going over to Zeke's house and maybe pay him a little visit~" I replied Matteo with a smile that just suddenly plastered on my face, when talking about Zeke.

"Look at you getting all happy, just talking about Zeke~" Millie cooed, wriggling her eyebrows at me with a smirk. She really does love teasing me doesn't she, even for some of the little things...

"Oh stop that- You have Kevin too."

"Yeah...maybe I should do too, it's been long since I've hung out with Kevin..." Millie thought for a while before saying but if we both leave then it'll just be Matteo left.

"What will you do Matteo?"

"Oh, maybe I'll just head home and watch some movies?" He seemed unsure of what he wanted to do now since Millie and I have both decided on what we wanted to do.

"It'll just be in a matter of time, where you'll get to know your soulmate. Don't worry about it!" Millie enthusiastically said, giving him a hard whack to the arm.

"And you didn't need to hit me for that..."

"Stop complaining whenever I hit you, it's not a big deal."

"It's not a big deal? Even when you hit me like how a hulk would smash the floor?" Millie looked over at Matteo, seemingly looking like she was pissed yet she is giving off a killing vibe.

"Hey...would you want me to smash you onto the floor and maybe you can leave a mark of your figure here on the pavement so people will know someone once lived in this area...~"

"Ahahah...no thank you. I think I'll head home for now in one piece." Matteo joked and smiled at Millie. I laughed at the two, I can't get enough of this two always having funny jokes in their arguments.

"We'll see you two around tomorrow or Monday!"

"Yea we'll see you never." Millie rolled her eyes as I waved at Matteo. His figure slowly disappeared at the end of the walkway turn.

"I'll head over to Kevin's now, have fun with Zeke but if he does anything to you, drop me a text and I'll be there!"

"Yes I know~ I know you will maybe come flying into the window if the doors locked." I joked, making the both of us laugh.

"I would and don't expect me to pay him for the window price." I chuckled before we said our goodbyes and left separately and headed our own ways.

Should I get something for Zeke, maybe he hasn't had breakfast or maybe he did. Hmmm, I guess I'll just get some sweets from the convenience store and some snacks.

I happily went over to the nearby convenience store and picked up some lollipops, chips and chocolates. Let's not forget about milk here, I went over to the back aisle where the fridges were at and picked out two bottles of full cream milk.

After picking up what I needed, I went over to the counter and Aunt May smiled when she saw me.

"Oh your here, your buying quite some things today."

"Mhmm! I'm heading over to a friends house and thought I might just buy some things over~"

"Still being the kind little girl you are~? Hahah." I smiled at her as she chuckled at me. She does know me well huh, since young I would often come here with mom to buy things. So oftenly I would see Aunt May once in a while.

"I'm not a little girl now Aunt May, I'm already 16 and I'm turning 17 some weeks soon~"

"I know~ but still I can't forget the little kid that you were always asking your mom to buy you lollipops and sweets from here~" Aunt May recalled the old times, even I remember exactly what happened.

She scanned the products and I payed for for the items I bought and took the plastic bag that she gave me.

"Here, take your things and stay safe~"

"I will Aunt May, thank you! Remember to take care of yourself and look after your health." I pointed out, seeing how she is getting older as years pass.

"I will my dear, now get going, you don't want to keep your friend waiting hmm?" I nodded my head as I gave her a warm smile before leaving the convenience store.

I started heading over to Zeke's house while taking out a random flavoured lollipop and putting it into my mouth. Ahhh, what will I do without sweets~ hahah.

♡ At Zeke's house ♡

I knocked on the door, since I just realised I had forgotten to take the spare keys to his house along with me and it's at home lying somewhere in my room.

I waited for a few minutes before knocking on the door again, is he not home? I looked around at the window but I didn't see anyone until a voice could be heard behind me.

"What are you doing here?" I turned to the voice and it was Zeke. He was holding some plastic bags of groceries in his hands, I guess he went to do some afternoon shopping.

"I just came over to pay a visit to you and my plant~!" Zeke walked pass me and opened the door, leaving me outside but I quickly stuck my foot in between the door before he could close it.

"Hey don't leave me out here!" He let go of the door and his cold eyes gave me chills but it was normal. I headed in, closing the door and placed the things on the kitchen counter.

"Hey I bought some snacks that we can eat and some milk!" I happily took out the milk and opened one for myself to drink. Zeke went up into his room and I suppose he went to put his things?

I placed all the groceries he bought into his fridge and his milk too, the snacks went into the cabinets and that was all.

I saw the plant still in the other basin, the leaves were wet and I could see some water droplets on it. It looks like the plant was just watered, so he did water them for me as I asked~

I took my milk and went over to his couch, setting down the milk on the table. I took the remote and turned on the tv to watch some cartoons.

"Let's watch some miraculous lady bug~" I turned on the show and started watching it. I know I'm a teenager watching cartoons but hey, who cares, no matter what age, you still can watch cartoons.

I sat down on the floor, totally engrossed into the cartoon that I was watching. The tv was the only sound that could heard in the house, no chatting, no movements, just that sound of the tv.

"Just friends...seriously Adrien-" I can't get over how cute Adrien and Marinette...

"I know we're just friends but..."

"Oh for you, I would've done whatever~"

"And I just can't believe we ain't together~"

"And I want to play it cool, but I'm losing you~"

"I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring~" I sang out a song, I heard on YouTube out, wiping away my fake tears.

"Are you just here to watch cartoons and sing...?" I stopped what I was doing and turned around, to be met with Zeke face to face. I raised my eyebrows, titling my head at him, since when was he seating behind me...?

"Umm hahah...no?"

"If there's nothing, you can leave, the doors right over there."

"Hey, I just came here and your asking me to leave?!" I pouted at him, how rude. I barely stayed here for a couple of minutes and he is asking me to leave? Is that what he means?

"Well too bad, I'm staying and Oh, I heard there's a new arcade shop with lots of different kinds of games to play! We should head there later."

"Why should I...? I'm not going anywhere with you."

"Oh come on~ you should have some fun, don't always stay home and do nothing. It's boring don't you think?"

"The only thing I know that is boring, is hanging out with you..." He stood up from the couch and went up into his room and slammed the door shut.

What's with him...I just merely gave a suggestion on what we can do together, does he have to be this salty? Did he eat too much salty things that he became like this?

If that's so, I think I need to feed him more sugar than salt next time, so we can have a change for the better. I might even just buy a whole bucket of sugar and bring it here the next time I come.

"Sugar~ Yes please~ Won't you come and put it down on me...~"
