Friendship Gifts and Subtle Hints

“Don’t you think Ashley is cute?” I tease Ivy while my eyes are on the road. When I don’t hear a reply, I flick my gaze to her.

Ivy has her arms folded tightly across her chest. She looks seriously pissed off. Her face scrunches up like she’s just eaten something sour. Even with that face, she still looks so cute.

Is she still mad at me for teasing her? Or… can she really be jealous?

Maybe. The more I think about it, the more it’s likely possible. Ashley did never stop hovering around me at Little Café.

Mmmm. I really want to know for sure. So I test Ivy again.

“Come on. Tell me, my dear friend. Do you think Ashley is cute?” I ask in my sweet, teasing voice.

“Why do you want to hear my opinion so much?” She berates at me.

“Because I want to see what my new friend thinks. If she were my girlfriend, would you approve? Then again, Carina is pretty cute too. Who do you like best? Who do you think suits me more? Carina or Ashley?”

“Stop asking me,” she snaps. “Do you enjoy seeing me riled up?”

“Riled up?” I ask in my fake innocent voice. “What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“I don’t enjoy talking about Carina or Ashley.”

“Why?” I ask, smirking. Ivy looks like she’s pouting. When she doesn’t reply, I chuckle again, then ask her the ultimate question. “Is it because you’re jealous?”

“Jealous?” she scoffs, her voice like a dragon breathing fire. “Why would I be jealous? You can like whomever you like. It doesn’t concern me. You should ask yourself who you like, not me. It’s just… I don’t like talking about them. That’s all.”

“Really?” I probe again. “Are you sure it’s not because you’re jealous?”

“Yes.” Then she gives another huff and turns away.

My heart warms. Ivy is so riled up by this conversation that I know she must be jealous. And it’s all because of the subject of my future girlfriend.

My cute little Juliet. She’s so smart when it comes to everything else, but when it comes to the matter of love, she just doesn’t have a clue.

“I was serious, though, when I said I would like a girlfriend who’s not too skinny,” I say matter-of-factly when she starts huffing again. Then I drop in another hint. “Someone like you would be nice.”

Ivy only stays quiet for a little while longer, then turns to look at me. She asks in her quiet voice, a soft tone now, no longer holding that fiery dragon from before, “Are you taking me home?”

“Nope,” I answer immediately, shaking my head. “I’m taking you to Laces, the boutique.”

“Why?” She moans in irritation.

God, Ivy sounds so cute when she moans like that.

I don’t usually see this side of her. I’m glad she sees me as her friend now, because I get the privilege of seeing her act like this. I know if I weren’t her friend, she would never show this cute side of herself.

“Yes, to the boutique.
