Chilly Boulder, Monday Afternoon

They'd had to reschedule, but there was no way Hurley was going to let the chance to get ice cream with Penelope just slip away. He'd met her at her dorm room earlier, and they'd walked down together.

"So, uhhh, know what you want?" he asked her.

[ooc: Hurley's here for Penelope, but the place is open for your ice cream needs!]

Her eyes were wide and child-like as she considered her choices. "Chocolate ice cream." Wait. "No, vanilla with hot fudge." Wait, again. "Strawberry!" Nope. "Let me see... mint chocolate chip. Er. Chocolate chip cookie dough!" There were just too many choices. "I know, I will have a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top."

Penelope laughed. "I could hardly eat it all! I'll stick with the hot fudge sundae. Next time I'll try something different."

"That sounds good too," she agreed. "What is your favorite flavor, Hurley?"

Clearly amused, she shook her head. "No. But how many flavors can you put on a waffle cone?"

"Oh, yum," she said. "I bet cookies and cream is delicious."

She shook her head. "No. Maybe next time, or the time after that, I'll try it." Because she figured there would be a next time.

"Aw, that's so sweet of you, Hurley," she grinned. "And you can have a bite of my sundae."

Penelope stood by him, hands intertwined in front of her, and offered, "I can pay for mine, Hurley."

[identity profile] bad-nose-job.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Promise you'll let me pay next time?"

She giggled. "What is a pinky swear?"

[identity profile] bad-nose-job.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Penelope raised her hand, hooked her pinky with his, and shook. "Cute, but silly. So now you've promised the pinky swear that I get to buy your ice cream next time."

[identity profile] bad-nose-job.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
She beamed. "Perfect! I shall let you buy mine for me then, this time. And we won't wait too long before it's my turn to treat you, all right?"

And that made her blush lightly because she wanted to do it again too. "Should I find us a table?"
