Two Eyes Down

Air

"Demi, what the fuck is happening? Oh my god, get me off! Take me off this fucking monster swing!" I panic. I don't know what kind of sick joke is being played on me, but I'm not liking it.

"Natalie calm down. This was Monica and Dylan's idea. They told everyone not to tell you so you'd come with us. I'm sorry, baby. I'm right here though. It's ok." Demi soothes me, her fingers wrapping under my hand after placing hers over mine. She leans next to me and kisses my temple.

I on the other hand, hold back tears while the spinning speeds up and the swing gets higher and higher. I'm squeezing insanely tight, not loosening my grip until Demi's thumb brushing the back of my hand, soothing me enough to allow blood to flow back into the tips of her fingers. I lean my head on Demi's shoulder, disconnecting our hands briefly to put my arm around hers, then rejoining them.

When I'm able to calm down from Demi's touch and body against mine, I notice the air is clear. The park is confined by thousands of people at a time. It creates a filth bubble of air around the place that is polluted so bad the must makes it harder to inhale and exhale from the thickness of the air. This bubble has the same kind of air a large amount of mold creates. It's nasty, but once you get to a certain hight, the bubble of pollution isn't where your air supply is coming from. It's above it, where it's so easy to breathe it's scary.

Then I remember something scarier. We're still going up, and we're above the bubble.

"Why are we still going up?" I say with a new state of panic setting in.

"Well, this is actually the tallest swing of its kind. It's 625 feet tall." She says, obviously hoping I don't lose my shit.

Suck for her.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Get me down. I'm going to fall Im gonna die. We're gonna die, oh that's worse. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" I yell over the wind buzzing past our ears.

"We're going to enjoy ourselves. Take a deep breathe. In and out. Your safe. Your going to be fine. We're going to be fine. Just have fun. We're almost to the top."

"I don't feel safe. One thing is off in the machine we could all go down, literally. And these metal chains for the swings, these could break and we'd make a crash landing into the unstable wood coaster, or the raft thing on the other side. How bout a six year old girl with ice cream all over her face. We'd kill her too!"

"Natalie. Stop."Demi warns, obviously holding back a fit of laughter.

"No, I'm just explaining wh-"I'm cut off by Demi's lips crashing into mine. Her free hand was on the back of my head, keeping me in. My free hand soon traveled to her neck. The kiss lasted about fifteen seconds. Holy shit.

"Shut up." Demi said, catching her breath.

"Ok." Was all I could respond. That was fucking amazing. There was so much passion the fruit would be jealous (get it,passion fruit? No? Ok.)

When the ride is finally over I bolt. Demi is left behind as I run to the exit. I end up nearly gutting myself but Katia stops me.

"Slow down race horse. I know your terrified I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you but-"

"Where's Monica and Dylan?" I cut her off.

She just grabs my arm and leads me to a laughing Monica. Apparently she thought me nearly going into cardiac arrest was funny. The next thing I know I shove her on the ground.

"You bitch!" She yells through her fits of laughter. I kick Dylan in the buts because it's easy and Dylan's 6'4". I can't push skyscrapers down. He groans and I hear him drop to his knees. Now everyone but him and I are laughing. I'm beyond pissed.

"Don't you two EVER do that again, you here?" I say, the anger surfacing.

"Oh come on it wasn't that bad." Aiden says

"Did you sit with her? No, so you don't know. By the way, it was." Demi retorts.

Demi's arms wrap around my waist and her chin rests on my shoulder while her front is pressed against my back. When we start walking I just grab her legs and do the whole left....right....stop...ok go thing.

After a while of going on rides we ate dinner. I was also dehydrated from the heat and screaming my ass of on 89% of the rides.

"Their so cute!" Monica comments when Demi feeds me a French fry.

"Indeed we are." Demi brags, kissing me on the cheek. No one has recognized her, so she must be wearing a hat and sunglasses or something to hide her face.

After dinner, we went on some more rides, more screaming and then three water bottles later on my part we went to the car to go home. The park was closing anyway. We took our seats in the car and the first thing Demi did was spread herself across the back seat, so in response, I laid on top of her. My head rested on her chest and her arms were around around my waist, linked together at the hem of my pants. She was humming in my ear softly and I was trying to fight the exhaustion taking control of my heavy eyelids so I could stay awake with Demi but I wasn't being successful.

"What time is it?" I ask against her chest.

"A little past eleven. We still have another hour to go." She says quietly. Everyone but Aiden and Dylan were asleep, Aiden was driving and Dylan is nocturnal. He probably drank a monster when we go in the car, that helps.

"Shit." Demi laughs softly and starts to stroke my hair with her fingertips. I kiss her jawline in response and I can sense her smile. I'd be lying if I said I didn't smile like an idiot too. "We'd probably die if Aiden crashed the car."

"At least we'd die together."

I couldn't take it anymore. I sat up, causing me to straddle Demi, and kissed her with all the passion and desire I had inside me. I'm holding her hands above her head with mine, her fingers squeezing my hands closer against her palms. How her hands can be so warm, I don't know. Her lipstick was mango or something like that, that's right Katy Perry, not cherry, mango. Her skin heated up against mine, What can only be described as electricity courses through my veins and works it's way through every thread in my bones. My heart rate increases and the pit of my stomach is doing backflips.

When we come up for air, we're gasping for breath, somehow I took her by suprise. I thought it was quite obvious. I put my forehead to hers. I need to ask. I can't ignore the feeling anymore. I can't ignore that kiss either, that was some legendary shit right there.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
