When the sun beat down on the beach, the temperature was so high that it was almost unbearable. Everyone was searching for relief, for something to quench their thirst. That was when Marie saw Ted, looking parched and in need of something to cool him off. She thought it was love at first sight and was sure she had to get him for herself.
Fortunately, an ice cream truck jingled through the neighborhood and parked on the side path by the beach. Some kids started running out of the water and begging their parents for a few dollars to buy a treat. Among the children was Marie, who had been waiting for this moment since she first saw Ted. She knew ice cream sellers always took advantage of these scorching beach days, but she did not expect a truck to come up such coincidentally. How lucky she was!
Marie quickly bought a snow cone for Ted. She sauntered towards him, her hips swaying to the beat of the music from the ice cream truck. It was "Ice Cream" by BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez. He watched her approach, mesmerized by her beauty. Marie purred along the beat, and her voice was like honey to his ears.
"Come a little closer 'cause you looking thirsty
I'ma make it better, sip it like a Slurpee
Snow cone chilly, get it free like Willy
In the jeans like Billie, you be poppin' like a wheelie."
She handed Ted a snow cone, the ice melting under the blazing sun. "I'm Marie. It will be my treat, but just for you!" Marie grinned, winking at him.
"Thank you? You can call me Ted," He replied, then took a bite, the coldness sending shivers down his spine. Yet he still managed to keep licking. Marie was impressed by his confidence. When he took another bite and savored the sweetness, she teased him with the lyrics of the song, running her fingers through his hair.
"Even in the sun, you know I keep it icy
You could take a lick, but it's too cold to bite me
Brr, brr, frozen, you're the one been chosen
Play the part like Moses, keep it fresh like roses."
Together, they lounged on the beach, basking in the sun and savoring the snow cones. They laughed and talked, feeling the heat slowly fade away. The more Marie looked at Ted, the more attractive she thought the other was. Yet she was not the only one who thought so! Ted also felt something inside, and he suddenly wanted to kiss her. It didn't have to be passionate. Just a quick one was enough. Due to that naughty thought, his eyes became weirder. Unsurprisingly, Marie's eyes were the same, and she also imagined a delightful vision: A chilly kiss on the summer beach while sharing a snow cone.
"Look so good, yeah, look so sweet
Lookin' good, enough to eat
Coldest with the kiss, so he call me ice cream
Catch me in the fridge, right where the ice be
Look so good, yeah, look so sweet
Baby, you deserve a treat
Diamonds on my wrist, so he call me ice cream
You could double-dip 'cause I know you like me
Ice cream chillin', chillin', ice cream chillin'
Ice cream chillin', chillin', ice cream chillin'."
After some small chitchat, Marie and Ted knew they had so many things in common. While enjoying his snow cone, Ted noticed Marie began sweating. Therefore, he happily gave her an offer, "I think it's getting a lot hotter. Would you like some ice cream?"
"Sounds good to me. I really need one now!" Marie replied.
"Cool! Let's get to the ice cream truck over there."
As they approached the truck, Marie was shocked to see the seller standing inside that ice cream truck. It was a different person, who must have been a part-time trainee having taken his shift from the previous one. Moreover, he was one of Marie's old classmates and very close to her. She even used to have a crush on this guy and didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him or create an awkward moment. Hence, she said hi with a bright and confident smile, "Long time no see, Hugo."
"Hey there! Isn't our wonderful Marie?" He replied with a smile. "What can I get for you?"
Marie smiled back. It turned out to be better than she thought. Besides, she came up with a bizarre idea to test whether Ted had feelings for her. She fidgeted with her hair, replying sweetly, "Uhm, can I get a cone with your favorite flavor?"
He grinned, "My favorite flavor? That's a tough one. I like them all. But if I had to pick, I'd say it's the cherry."
She nodded, "Okay, I'll take that. Maybe you can add some surprise treats for me."
"Such as?" Hugo smirked.
"Your adorable smile or number is quite enough. Or do you want to give me something else?" She used a higher-pitched suggestive tone, blinking like it was flirting.
"Hahaha! I will take notes for sure, darling. Hahaha!" He burst out laughing.
"I know that my heart can be so cold
But I'm sweet for you, come put me in a cone
You're the only touch, yeah, they get me melting
He's my favorite flavor, always gonna pick him
You're the cherry piece, just stay on top of me, so
I can't see nobody else for me, no
Get it, flip it, scoop it, do it like that, oh yeah, oh yeah
Like it, love it, lick it, do it like la-la-la, oh yeah."
The lyrics perfectly fit their joke. Ted didn't know they were friends. He abruptly felt irritated. Ted wondered whether it was jealousy. Was he angry because a girl he had just met talked to another guy so comfortably? He wasn't sure, but the answer might be yes.
Seeing Ted's expression change, Marie stopped joking with Hugo and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Nothing!" Ted accidentally shouted a bit loud. Realizing the shock on Marie's face, he quickly added, "Oh, I'm so sorry. It's getting too hot now, so I become pretty short-tempered. Let me treat you this time, then let's return to the beach, shall we?"
She covered her awkwardness with a brighter smile, "Alright. Like what you have just said. Is my order ready, Hugo?"
"Just one more minute!" Hugo replied. He scooped the cherry ice cream into a cone and handed it to her. She took a lick, then complimented the ice cream while smiling at him, "It's better than I thought!"
"I'm glad you like it!" Marie stopped smiling after hearing this. She even almost chuckled. It was not just Hugo! It was Ted, too. They said that at the same time!
Due to this, a moment of silence arose, being there for nearly three minutes. Luckily, Hugo was a sharp and delicate guy. He noticed the signs between Marie and Ted, so he ended the quietness with a suggestion, "I think I will have to get back to work. My boss is coming towards us. We can have a reunion chat between friends later with other classmates."
"Got it! Thanks for the idea, Hugo. Maybe next weekend?" Marie quickly replied and secretly blinked to signal him.
Hugo understood what she meant, so he joked, "Sure! I hope you two will have a great time without me third-wheeling. Haha!" Then, he headed over to Ted and smiled, "Take good care of my friend, handsome dude."
"Huh? Oh... Oh, okay. I guess? Haha!" Ted felt a bit embarrassed. He impulsively became shy after that joke, which told him he had fallen in love with Marie. He could only laugh off the awkwardness.
Marie added, "Haha! You're still so humorous, my friend. See you later. Let's get back to our spot, Ted."
"Right after you!" Ted said with joy on his face.
"Ice cream chillin', chillin', ice cream chillin'
Ice cream chillin', chillin', ice cream chillin'
Ice cream chillin', chillin', ice cream chillin'
Ice cream chillin', chillin', ice cream
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Ice on my wrist, yeah, I like it like this
Get the bag with the cream
If you know what I mean
Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream chillin'
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Ice on my wrist, yeah, I like it like this
And I'm nice with the cream
If you know what I mean
Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream."
The song came to an end, and so did Ted's doubt. He was totally fallen for Marie. He could not stop grinning while looking at her.
"What are you thinking?" Marie asked cheerfully.
Ted chuckled, "Well, I think I like being with you. You're like the cherry on top of my day."
Her heart skipped a beat, "Really?"
He nodded, "Yeah. You make me feel like I'm melting."
Marie replied hesitantly with a blink when she finished her sentence, "Well... You're not the only one feeling like an ice cream in this kind of weather."
"Ah! You're so good at making me blush! Are you a master of flirting?" He asked while pretending to be overreacting.
"Nah, it is just my feeling."
"So, will you give our feeling the chance to progress?" Ted asked with lights of hope in his blue eyes.
"I will tell you soon. We should go to a less crowded zone to see the sunset first. It's almost 6 p.m."
"Yes, madame!"
As the sun began to set, Marie leaned in close to Ted. "Let's keep it fresh like roses," she whispered, her lips brushing against his ear. And at that moment, they knew they had found something special worth holding onto. Together, they watched the sunset and couldn't help feeling grateful for the thirst that had brought them together.
