Chapter 169: WAYS TO APPEASE HER

Dove listened to Dante, very well knowing that he really meant well. And she was actually internally even feeling guilty about how she had behaved earlier with him.

It was her own internal turmoil, and her own messed up feelings. And she could not and should not be going on behaving like that with anyone. No body has given her that right. Specially with someone who is nothing but friendly and kind to her, and who wishes well for her. Keeping that in mind, she made a conclusion in her mind.

But then again, the words that he spoke just a while ago, replayed in her mind. And her lips pressed in a straight line again.

’You are a pretty lady, and you don’t have to apologise! Hmph! What was the need for telling such a thing!’ Dove grumbled in her head.

While, Dove was grumbling and complaining in her head, Dante walked to her and pulled out the ice creams from the plastic bag, and pushed one in front of her, after opening it, and put a small spoon on top of it, "Here! First have this! I bought it to appease you."

Dove blinked her eyes, then raised her head to look at him, pressing her lips in a thin line and said after a couple of seconds, staring at him she said, "Please keep it inside the freezer. I will have it later."

She still did not have her thoughts and herself together yet!

But Dante shook his head adamantly in denial and said, "No, no. That can not be done. You need to eat it right now. Grandpa has already told me that you can have ice creams at anytime of the day, and as many. And if you do not agree, I would take it as if you telling me that you have not forgiven me yet."

Dove looked at Dante, a little more than baffled. What does he mean by this?! What forgiveness? Wasn’t it me who should be apologising.

And Dove, finally sighing, just realised that, she had nothing to do, but agree to him. And if she was being honest, all this did look tempting to her. Not to mention, the way he was coaxing her, made her heart flutter, even when her mind did not want to!

Damn it!

And Dove grumpily reached for the small tub of ice cream, when she grabbed it and scooped a big spoon and stuffed it in her mouth.

And doing so, she would occasionally pass a glare at Dante’s direction, her heart clenching in frustration!

What do I do now?! It was such a complicated feeling, a feeling that she neither loved nor hated.

If Dove’s heart was being honest, than she was actually enjoying this attention that Dante was giving her. She was liking his closeness. She was willing to be coaxed in his gentle words.

But the conscious and more thoughtful part of her, her brain was so against it. She was scared. She was not willing to delve deeper in it, than she already was.

She was scared at if her heart went deeper and deeper in this pit of feelings, that it would be impossible for her to come out of it.

Specially, when Dove knew that Dante already had someone in his heart. And call it a woman’s sixth sense, but when she had heard him speak about the one he likes, she could tell by looking at his eyes, that he was deeply in love with that woman. His eyes showed that deep emotions.

And who knew if that woman too liked Dante back. Which was very possible.

After all, which woman wouldn’t?

And the last thing, that Dove ever wanted to be was to be a reason for a beautiful relationship to not flourish.

And even Dante wouldn’t appreciate that.

At that moment, while she put a spoon of the cold cream into her mouth, and waited for it to melt, a thought struck her mind.

If this was so, then how would it be, if Dante just doesn’t be in her life? The more he remains around her, the more difficult it would be for her, isn’t it?

It was a good conclusion.

But just when she entertained that idea, she felt her heart clenched painfully.

The merry thought of not having Dante around her pained her, and she did not like to think about it. And that was weird. One thing about Dove was that, she never got too attached very soon.

But what happened with Dante? How could she lose her presence of mind around someone who has only been around her for a few weeks only.

Sighing, she pushed the thought at the back of her mind for now.

Meanwhile, unknown to Dante of such internal conflict going on in Dove’s head, he sat there having his ice cream and enjoying the view in front of him of the woman he loved.

Seeing the big scoops that she was eating, Dante felt over joyed, and he mentally made a note to treat her with more of these in the future. It was one of the best ways appease her when she is mad.

A couple hours later, Gavi too came back from school, and happily ran to his momma’s arms.

There, seated on his mother’s lap, he had his little arms around Dove’s neck as he recounted what ever he did the whole day at school, and everything, while Dove listened to him very patiently.

And after he was done, when he jumped down from her lap to go and freshen up, grab a snack and let his mother work, his gaze fell on the waste bin, near his momma’s desk, and when he saw what was inside it, his eyes widened.

"Ice cream!!!" He yelped.

This caught both Dove’s and Dante’s attention. And the next second, Gavi raised his head to look at them in pure disbelief!

"Momma! Uncle Dante! You had ice creams! And no one shared me! How mean you are!"
