Melony exited college late she was supposed to be getting a lift to her flat from Maddie, who she hoped had waited for her. She had; Melony could just about make out her friends' car in the still waiting in the congested car park. Students were standing or milling about between the cars and other vehicles, talking, laughing and arguing in a loud cacophony of noise. All of this was suddenly silenced as a loud obnoxious roar blared throughout the car park.
The source of this terrible din was enough to make Melony's heart skip a beat, and as much as she hated to admit it, make her knees a little week. They're in a slightly battered leather jacket and jeans, atop a large, reverberating, pulsing red motorbike sat Skylar.
"Get on Thompson." The voice was cold, a barked order rather than a friendly offer.
Melony found herself doing just that walking forward to the bike despite its loud noise and swung her leg over the back behind Skylar straddling the large red machine. It was only then that she saw the hordes of people gawping, mouths wide open, at her. She was about to comment on it when the bike took off and suddenly Melony had many more important things to worry about. Her arms cinched tightly about Skylar's waist as she rested her head on Skylar's muscular back she couldn't help but breath deeply at the fragrance of Skylar's cherry blossom perfume. It smelled so sensual, sweet and yet with a zesty tinge that mirrored Skylar's complex personality.
"Where are we going?" Melony had the presence of mind to ask all be it some moments later.
"You'll see, Thompson." Was the slightly less wooden yet more flirtatious answer that was the only one Melony could get for over thirty minutes.
Finally, they pulled into the car park of a small café.
"The ice cream here is to die for. Skylar explained unable to keep the excitement out of her voice as she grabbed her arm in a firm yet gentle grip and hurried Melony towards the café door.
Melony soon discovered that Skylar was right. Melony could not help but sit, staring at Skylar over the massive bowl of mint chocolate, ice cream, her favourite flavour. Skyla, however, was not waiting and had already begun shovelling her sweet sugary strawberry ice cream into her mouth. Melony soon copied her example and began to spoon the smooth creamy dessert into her mouth with gusto.
Presently both of them finished and the low murmur of their light conversation could be heard bubbling out from the booth.
