part 58
Saturday comes, Adam’s sister Lauren is in town. She wants to meet up at a cafe and maybe do somethings later on.
It’s a bit before though, Adam and iku are at home. She’s chilling, scrolling on her phone, and he’s playing with his laptop.
Adam: (“Hey, what are exactly planning to do?”)
iku: (“Hmm?“)
Adam: (“With my sister.”)
iku: (“I wanna piss her off, like she pissed you off. But in the silent way, let her boil in her own turmoil, I’mma flex everything I’ve got.“)
Adam: (“Just… Don’t get too on the nose. She’s still my sister.”)
iku: (“Yeah, of course.”)
iku: (“… You know I’m kinda surprised by how chill you are with me doing this.“)
Adam: (“I told you, we don’t really have that family bond between us. I don’t know what else to tell you.”)
iku: (“Yeah you did, it’s just I never really first hand experienced having any siblings… I just always thought that when I get someone I like maybe I could… Yknow… See what a normal family is like..“)
Adam: (“… I don’t think that’s gonna be possible, we’re both crooks.”)
iku: (“… Yeah, I know.”)
iku: (“… We’ll get to see it someday anyways.“)
Adam: (“Hmm?”)
iku: (“I mean, once I retire, I don’t have much of a plan besides settling down somewhere safe and silent… With a husband… And some kids of my own..“)
Adam: (“I didn’t think you’d be the type to want having kids.”)
iku: (“I mean, it’s a pipe dream for now. Still have lots of things to take care of first…”)
iku: (“But one thing is for sure, one day I’mma make you my hubby.. No chance that doesn’t happen.”)
iku snuggles him and gives him a smooch on his cheek. Adam of course blushes.
Adam: (“Aren’t I supposed to be the one wife-ing you up?”)
iku: (“Naah..”)
iku: (“I’mma be the one who decides who to spend the rest of my life with.. Spoiler alert; It’s you.”)
iku smiles.
Adam: (“Aww.. You can be such a cute girly girl sometimes you know.”)
iku: (“Haha, I told you. You ended up making me into a big ol’ lovebug!“)
Adam goes and smooches iku.
Adam: (“We should start getting ready, we have to leave pretty soon.”)
iku: (“Aww… I’ve easily could’ve gone for more sweet talk.“)
Adam: (“Me too, but we have to get ready.”)
iku: (“Hmm.. Alright.. :( ”)
They start getting ready. Lauren in the meantime is already in the city, visiting her mom and talking with her a bit, she tells her about iku and shows a picture.
iku and Adam make their way over to the cafe, Lauren messages Adam to tell him she’s near and she’d like if they waited for her, so they wait.
She pulls up in her car and gets out. She’s around 170cm, pretty average looking girl, although her eyes have bags on it, being such a successful woman sure has taken it’s toll on her. She’s wearing a light (as in the materials) blazer, a vneck tshirt, and a dark trouser.
She quickly makes her way to them.
Lauren: (“Hey guys!“)
She instinctively reaches her hand out, then quickly pulls it back.
Lauren: (“Ah sorry, I’ve been on too many meetings recently, don’t wanna treat you two as like work collages.”)
iku: (“It’s fine, I’m down to shake hands.”)
iku reaches her hand out, Lauren shakes it.
iku: (“I’m iku.“)
Laruen: (“Lauren.“)
They get inside the cafe, and take a seat on the terrace.
There a waitress comes by, greets them and puts the menus on the table.
As iku browses trough the menu she notices that they have cheesecake with strawberry sauce, it looks real good, her interest is also peaked with a big cup of hot chocolate, it has whipped cream and some vanilla on it. She shows Adam what she’s getting, and Adam says that he’ll get the same.
Eventually the waitress comes back.
Waitress: (“Have you decided what you’d like to order?”)
iku: (“For us, I’d like to order 2 hot choco’s with vanilla and 2 strawberry sauce cheesecakes.“)
Waitress: (“Mhmm!“)
Lauren: (“And I would like to order a Mocha.“)
Waitress: (“Anything else?“)
Lauren: (“That will be all.“)
The waitress takes the menus.
Waitress: (“It’ll be just a couple of minutes.“)
She leaves.
Lauren: (“You two aren’t getting coffee?”)
iku: (“Naah, neither of us are really into coffee, and I actually wanted something sweet.“)
Lauren: (“Ah, I’m basically addicted to coffee. I wake up with at least a cup in my hand.”)
iku: (“Yeah that’s what I’m trying to avoid.“)
Lauren: (“So what? You drink energy drinks?”)
iku: (“Like once every three months, not that big into them.“)
