Mistake...

whipped cream, crunchy cone, double icecream, cherry topping

licking and licking until our laughter takes over

iam with my best friend Jill, over in the icecream parlour

wasnt so sure which flavour to try, coconut, cherry, pistachio, or caramel

but i know that the moment my eyes flicked, i looked over, my heart slammed

standing in a black suit, with neat leather shoes, neat shoe laces, and with a purple tie

is the hunk, tall, lean and with a mascular torso, only enough to melt a womens heart

why did he look so alluring, so mystique, so demanding, “i want chocolate, please!”

Jill nudged me, she was impressed, i only shrugged, “lets go to the ferry ride!”

Jill looked over and her icecream melted, i licked the drip and laughed

was it my laughter or my silly act of licking that caught his attention, but he looked on

i twirled around, more so bolted from the ice cream parlour, i can only say confidently

it was a mistake to look over for he bit his lips and threw a sexy grin, and a cute wave

we walk outside and i lick some more melting icecream, but as we sat down, a saw

a pair of hands, smooth and nealty manicured, give us a cup of caramel icecream

i looked up and saw him, the man with a purple tie, handsome as sin, laughing away

like he never had such a fun in his entire life, forgeting about his first bicycle,

this act was pure, such pleasure in his eyes, the moment he realized he saw fun

Jill doubled over and accepted the caramel icecream, “thanks handsome!”

he smiled his sexy smile once again and im so nervous, like a smooth criminal

whose mind is only in the game of stealing, did i steal this young ambitious mans

attention, for iam not that good at stealing hearts, he shrugs, his shoulders broad

my heart aches and i wave nervously at him and he says, “Welcome, lick this one too!”

i laugh out loud and he only looked at my lips, i know it was a mistake to look at him

he smiled once again and before i realized what he was doing, he licked my pistachio

icream with such an ardent lick that i blushed, his only excuse, “yummy pistachio...

just like you...” and i blush even more and he walked away, his black suit like a panther!
