Ice Cream
Description
Tao's family owned an ice cream shop that was wildly popular in his hometown. Besides his mother, father and the normal workers there, their was one girl whom always worked by his side at the shop, his best friend from childhood Iman. Every since they were 7 they have been inseparable. Their closeness was derived from Tao's rocky relationship with his parents. Whenever he got into a fight with them he would sneak out of his house, travel across the street and knock on her window asking if maybe he could sleep over. At night when he'd stay in her room Iman would wrap her arms around him, pray to God for things to get better and whisper sweet nothings into his ear, just long enough for him to fall asleep. This became a routine, a difficult habit to break so even now being that they were about 19, this would still on occasion happen. But what is supposed to happen next when one of the friend's falls for the other? Do you just pick up where you left off or are there certain instructions that need to be followed?
They were like ice cream, sweet and nice but constantly melting, slipping through your fingers. Unable to fully hold on, grip nor wipe away the stickiness.
