Chapter 3: Ice Cream

When Tyler left the room, Cali was left dumbfounded when she realized the patient was a famous artist.


"This guy is familiar" talking to herself, confused and can't explained it.


After an hour, Cali didn't realize that she got some errands to attend, quickly grabbed her things making Jean questioned.


"Why so fucking hurry?"


"I'm already late with my­—fuck where's my phone?"


"Chill girl! at the desk"


"I'm really sorry, I'm so late!" Cali began to panic while fixing her bag, she tied her hair into bun making her baby hairs fall.


"It's okay, you look cute though" Jean complimented her


Cali rolled her eyes leaving Jean, she unbuttons her uniform revealing her tank top and flower locket pendant.


A lot of guys was looking at her but as Cali, she doesn't give a damn, until she reached the studio.


"Am I late?" she asked the guy who's at the cash register


"Not all honey" Cali nodded and headed towards the stairs, she felt relieved.


She heard nothing but silence but when she opens the door, they all laid their eyes making her embarrassed.


She mouthed sorry, Serenity smiled at her. Cali sat down at a empty chair with canvas


"Before that, I want you all to close your eyes for a while, okay?" Serenity calmly said, they all did it and played some music.


On the other hand, Cali didn't follow instead she put some perfume.


I really stink.


"I love that smell" someone said it, Cali was surprised and trying to find who it was but they are all too quiet.


She closed her eyes and stared to reminisce of something.


"Hey Cali! Let's go!"


"Wait a minute"


"Look what I got for you"


"What's that?"


"Oh it's my necklace, my Grandmother gave it to me"


"You should wear it"


"Okay" Cali turned around and moved her hair away, he put it on her neck and smiled at her making his brown eyes sparkle.


After playing outside they saw the sun set and parted each other's good bye


"I'll see you again tomorrow"


"I'll see you too" Cali left and run towards at her house, she saw some boxes in the living room and the house was completely empty.


"Mommy, where are going?" Cali asked but her Mother didn't speak


"Let's go" her Mom grabbed Cali's arm pulling her out of the house.


"Mommy, I don't want leave this place"


"No Cali, don't be a naughty girl" her Mom said while dragging her to get in the car.


Cali started to cry loudly at the back of the car, she saw her friend shouting from outside but Cali didn't hear anything from him.


They both cried as the car began to move making him to chase it, Cali opened the window, he shouted.


"I'll never forget you Cali!" She left him kneeling, crying, and reaching out to her but it was too late and nowhere to be seen.


Cali shed a tear for remembering that memory, she wiped it and started to make something at her canvas.


After an hour they all finished their masterpiece, Serenity call some few people to share what they've make.


Cali starred at her work and began to construct some words on her head until she was called.


"Cali dear? Can you share us your work?" she nodded and walked towards the center.


"Uhm, so Hi I'm Cali and here's my work" she turned around her canvas to them, all of them reacted.


"I called this memoir, uhm as you can see, this scene was way back 16 years ago... I'm at my friend's backyard where we always play and talk about some stuffs every afternoon"


She pointed at the two kids lying down at the grass while pointing at the sky.


"He's not just a friend but a special one, he gave me a necklace before the sun sets. We forbid our good byes but that was the last and....until now I still haven't seen him, I really miss him"



After the sharing, Cali and Serenity was left inside the studio, cleaning and fixing some materials for tomorrows meeting.


"I'm still wondering who it was, I hope you see him soon" as someone's phone started to ring, it was Serenity's phone.


"Shit, I'll have to get going, I'll see you tomorrow" she hugged Cali and left.


Cali was alone in the room, mesmerizing all of the artworks of the studio especially her work an hour ago.


"One of the greatest artwork I've ever seen" she almost jump in fear and turned around, It's him.


"Fuck! You gonna give me heart attack" Call hits him at the chest making Tyler to laugh.


"Oh sorry, but I really like wait— I really love it" Tyler said while looking at Cali's work


"Kinda reminds me of my childhood days too" he said while looking at Cali, she notice Tyler looking at her, she turned and thank him with a smile.


Her eyes are still the same, she's so beautiful


They looked away at each other realizing that they've been starring for about a second.


"You wanna go and grab an ice cream?" Tyler breaking the ice.


Cali was too shy to say no because she's going to buy a new dress for frank's party later, she smiled and nodded.


"Cool, c'mon let's go" they locked the door before the leaving the studio.


"Don't you have your car?" She asked.


"Nah, I left it at my house, I just walked my way here" Tyler said while putting his hands inside his pockets.


They talked about the paintings and stuffs while walking. Tyler notice some guys are looking at Cali, but Cali didn't even mind them.


"You should cover that" He pointed out, noticing the flower locket pendant.


"Nah, I don't give a fuck to them. Imma wear what I'm comfortable at" she said.


"Agree"



When they've reached the shop, Tyler told Cali to find a seat for them, she chooses their spot outside.
While scrolling at her phone Jean messaged her that she saw them.


Me
What are you going to do about it?


She turned off her phone and grunted that she might be the topic at the Hospital, Tyler came with 2 sundaes and 1 ice cream with a cone.


Cali was surprised on what Tyler ordered for her, it was her favorite coffee flavored ice cream with chocolate chips.


"How the hell did you know that this is my favorite?"


"Lucky guess?" Tyler said started to eat.


They've been talking about their work, friends and life. Cali took her phone, telling Tyler some corny ass jokes making him laugh and capture the scene in front of her.


"It's weird, like someone keeps on messaging me on twitter and liking my post on Instagram"she said.


"What's the name?"


"I forgot the name, but I remember his username though, it was both thickdickdaddy27" Tyler choked on something making Cali worried.


"Are you okay?" she asked while patting Tyler's back.


"Yeah, I'm good, what kind of username is that?" he sarcastically replied.


"I know right, it's weird"


After a few hours they left the shop and decided to go home, Tyler handed his phone to Cali making her confused.


"My god, put your number here so I'll keep in touch with you" She typed her number and gave it back to him.


"Cool, I'll see you around Cali, it was nice seeing you again" He said and winked at her, making Cali blushed a little.


"I'll see you around and more art talk too" she smiled with eyes reached her ears.
