????? ?????????? ????????

I went for shopping with my best friends Chloé and Ava, at the Starcourt Mall.

After an hour of shopping, we were tired.

"Okay, guys, I don't know about you two. But I am tired and hungry", I said, sighing as I set down my shopping bags on the ground.

"Me too", Chloé said.

"Okay, let's go to some nearby shop and have something", Ava said.

We looked around, deciding where to go. I saw an ice cream parlour to our left.
"I am craving for some ice cream!!"

"Okay, then, let's go!!"

I picked up my bags and we walked into the parlour. I saw a brunette-haired girl leaning on the counter talking with her other co-worker. She gestured at us?

The guy tossed his hat to the girl and turned to us.
His eyes were brown and he had long brown hair. I won't lie, he looks really gorgeous.

"Ahoy, ladies! Would you guys like to set sail on this ocean of flavor with me? I'll be your captain, I'm Steve Harrington", he said with a big grin on his face.

Chloé and Ava looked at each other and snickered. His smile faltered a little, I frowned at them and mouthed 'that's rude', they rolled their eyes and smirked.

I turned to him and gave him an apologetic smile,
"Sorry about them"

"Yeah, don't worry", he smiled.
"May I take your order?"

"Yeah, uh, I would like a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream"

"Alright, and what would you two like?"

"A mint chocolate chip, please"

"And a vanilla cone"

"Okay, it will be ready in 10 minutes, till then y'all can sit in the booth"

"Alright"

We sat in the booth, Ava and Chloé were gossiping about some girl in which I wasn't even interested at all. I just sat there picking on the skin below my thumbnail. I was really tired and bored, so I stood up and walked to the counter.

"Excuse me, umm, how much more time will it take?", I said, sighing.

"Uh, it will take more 5 minutes. Is that okay?", he asked.

"Yeah, that's fine"

"Something wrong?"

"Nah, just bored, my friends keep talking about some girl and I am not interested"

"Oh, not cool", he chuckled.

"Yeah"

"Are you new here?"

"I guess, yeah, we shifted 2 months ago from California to here because of my dad's work"

"Oh, I see. You never told your name"

"Oh, yeah, it's Y/N L/N. And you're Steve?"

"Yeah, Steve Harrington", I stared at him for a long time. I realized and looked away, hiding my blush.
"So, uh, how was your day, today?", he asked.

"Pretty much boring, y'know?
I work at the arcade, got a day-off from work today so my friends decided to go for shopping. What about you?"

"Ohh, well. I spend my whole day scooping ice cream. Nothing else", he chuckled.

"Hey, dingus. The ice cream's ready!", the girl said, handing him the tray from the window.

"Ignore her", I chuckled, as he gave me the tray. I took it to the booth, we ate our ice-creams, I felt myself blush when I glanced at Steve to see him already looking at me.

After we were done eating our ice-cream, Ava and Chloé were waiting outside the parlour as I went to the counter to pay for the ice cream.

"Here. It was nice meeting you, Steve", I said as I handed him the money for the ice cream.

"It was nice meeting you too!", I blushed.

"My friends are waiting for me. Bye!", I said, turning around to walk away.

"Hey, wait uh, Y/N"

"Yeah?"

"Umm, w-would you like to go out for dinner with me?", he stuttered. I looked at him, wide-eyed. I felt butterflies in my stomach, I was mentally screaming with joy.

"I-"

"It's fine, if you can't. I mean I am already busy so-"

"I would love to! I mean, it would be really good to know more about each other!", he grinned.

"Me too! Tomorrow, 7 pm. I will pick you up from the arcade. Is that okay?", he asked, happily.

"Yeah, sounds great!"

"Okay, then!", he turned to the billing machine and handed me the receipt.

"Bye, Steve!!", I turned and walked away.

"Bye, Y/N! See ya tomorrow!", he smiled.

I was about to keep the receipt in my purse, when I saw something written on the it.

"It's a date! :)"

My lips turned into a smile as I looked at him once again. He waved at me, smiling. I waved back, I looked over his shoulder to see his co-worker looking at me with a surprised look on her face as she drew a line on an empty column of a whiteboard??

Author's Note: I am not able to write with 'you/your', because it's a bit difficult and confusing. So, from now, it will be 'I/my'. Anyways, thanks for reading :)
