The warm California sun beat down on your skin. It was around noon, the hottest time of day, and you were completely drained. You wiped the sweat your brow and nudged your friend.
"Manon, can we please go grab some drinks." You exaggerated a thirsty, exhausted expression and fanned your face.
"It's really not that hot, but since your on the brink of heat stroke let's grab lunch.
The two of you headed towards the closest food place but go distracted by an appetizing sweet treat being served at a stand. Surprisingly, the line wasn't all that long and you both snagged a spot.
After around a five minute wait you reached the front.
"We'll get two lemon soft serves with white chocolate drizzle please." You pulled out your card and paid, beating Manon to it and leaving her with a small pout on her face.
With your ice creams in hand, you whipped around to exit the line. In the swiftness of your action you collided with a girl standing behind you. The yellow cream splattered across both her and your white shirts.
"Shit!" The voice yelped out.
The sound was entirely too familiar. You looked up and sure enough there she was.
Sophia Laforteza. Your ex girlfriend.
Your eyes met briefly before a man with mickey ears came up behind her, he draped an arm across her shoulder, his voice soft as he checked up on her.
"Hey baby, are you alright?" He cooed.
"Yeah I'm fine, thanks. Leon."
"Your ice cream..." He began to think aloud. "The lines too long to go back and buy you a new one so, how about you join us for lunch instead? On me. He extended his hand for a handshake and gave you a smile.
Before you could refuse his offer, your very hungry friend piped up and took his hand.
"Great! You two up for pizza?"
"Can't say no to that." Manon replied, way to cheerful for someone who should've known how awkward this lunch-date (if you could even call it that) would be.
"Hey!" You started to whisper-yell "Do you have any idea what you just agreed to?"
"No dumbass! Free lunch with my ex!"
"Oh yeah... I thought that chick looked familiar."
"I am not ready to be seeing her again. It's way too soon."
"Dude it's been months, LA isn't even that big I'm honestly surprised this is your first time seeing her since the breakup. And anyway it's time to get over her." Manon patted your back and followed them into the couple ahead into the pizzeria.
"Hey, I'm gonna order quickly and you all get a table." Leon said quickly before heading to the front.
You sat parallel from Sophia. She couldn't meet your eyes, or maybe refused to. The silence was loud. Excruciatingly so.
"So uh, Disney Land, it's packed today wow." You shoot a glare at Manon and she stopped the small talk.
You looked Sophia up and down. Jean shorts, a longsleeve white shirt (now stained with yellow) and a pair of minnie mouse ears. She looked good, elegant as always.
Leon returned with two medium sized pizzas. One with plain cheese and the other decked out with toppings. Pineapple, bacon, spinach, and green peppers. From the look alone you knew it was Sophie's. You two would always bicker about what toppings to get.
"How could you ruin the pizza by putting fruit on it?" You used to say.
"Quit being a baby, it's good. Here, try." And you would do just that. All in all, it wasn't that bad, but you couldn't let her know that. You'd make a displeased face and stick your tongue out.
"Disgusting..."
She'd roll her eyes, never truly annoyed, and plant a kiss on your jaw.
Manon's voice chirped up to cut through your flashback.
"Here take a slice." You nodded appreciatively and took a bite of the cheese pizza.
Leon picked up a slice and and fed it to Sophia, his hand hovering underneath the slice to catch any crumbs.
Your stomach twisted. An unfamiliar feeling.
You felt something brush against your foot. Sophia. She apologized and you gave her a simple nod of acknowledgment.
Soon enough, the food was gone and you began to stood up.
"You guys seem really nice, would you be down to hangout for the rest of the day?" Leon asked, another genuine smile spreading across his face.
You wanted so badly to refuse, but again, Manon answered for you.
The day passed quickly. Ride after ride, step after step, all of it was spent with the same pit in your stomach. You felt inexplicably pissed off being in the presence of a real life angel, that being Leon. He basically spent every waking minute catering to Sophia, you, Manon, shit anyone else he was able to help.
On the way to the Big Hero 6 section of the park, he stopped to buy you and Sophia replacement shirts. He paid for everything, he dressed nicely, held Sophia's hand no matter what.
He was nice. He was so nice. Your jaw clenched as you tried to calm yourself down.
It was the evening now. around eight o'clock and the sun had just began to set. You all had stopped to use the restroom and you just happened to be the first out.
You leaned forwards against the bridge. After being there by yourself for around six-ish minutes, Sophia joined you on the bridge. She stood beside you leaving a small gap of space between the two of you.
"It's been awkward seeing you again..."
"I just want to say that I've missed you." Sophia stared at the ground.
You scoffed. "You say that but you haven't even so much as glanced my way all day."
"Your boyfriend. He seems real sweet." You sighed.
"He's so sweet to you, more than I ever was, but I just can't help but wish it was me instead of him." You looked over at Sophia, the setting orange sun illuminated her features in a gentle way.
"I... feel like that too sometimes. He's nice. But he's not you."
"I still love you. So much. No one will ever replace you." You met each others gaze.
You barely had time to blink before you were pulled into a hungry kiss. Your eyes closed on impact and the familiar scent of her vanilla perfume drove you crazy. She pulled away and looked you once over.
She looked over your shoulder to see Leon returning from the bathroom.
"Give me your phone. I'm putting my new number in. Call me, okay?"
You handed her your phone nodded silently, trying to retain the lingering feeling of the kiss.
You watched as she walked into Leon's open arms. The couple waved goodbye and you finally went your separate ways.
You found yourself recalling the kiss again. The day left wonder was love completely off the table?
