i think i kinda love you

chapter 8 | the carnival

eventually, after about 45 minutes, we got to our destination. the carnival. 

"soooo, how do we feel about it?"

"baby i love it. thank you." 

she smiles. 

"of course. i was thinking we could go on a few rides, play at that arcade right there. see? on the right. it's the black building. and after that, maybe we could go to a nearby beach if we're not too tired. stay there for a little while and once we feel like leaving, we can head to my place ok?"

"that sounds so perfect." i said.

i sat in the passenger's seat taking in how sweet my day got. spending time with her at home, cuddled up on a couch watching a movie could've made me just as happy but the fact that she's always willing to go the extra mile just to surprise me is just the sweetest thing.

while i was taking in how wonderful this day was about to be, i suddenly noticed that the entire carnival was empty. sure, the rides were working but there was no one else there either than the ride operators. 

"bil why aren't there people here? are they closed? if they are, that's totally fine with me we can go to the beach instead since we planned to go there afterwards anyways." i ask confused. 

"well, you know that i love my fans but i feel like everytime they come up to me, it's taking away from our time. even if it's for thirty seconds, i wanna spend every single moment with you."

"DUDE YOU'RE INSANE. it must've been crazy expensive. bil why r you doing this for meeee i don't need all this." i say.

"well, it's because i really like your fine ass and i wanna be with you so, if it takes an empty carnival for you to say yes, i'll do it. so what do you say, will you be mine?"

i'm shocked but also so happy? this motherfucker makes my heart melt. 

"YES OF COURSE I'LL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY ON ME I WOULD'VE SAID YES ANYWAY!" 

"oh well." she teases. 

"can i kiss you?" i ask flirtatiously. 

without saying yes, billie grabs my face playfully as she sloppily kisses me. 

what was meant to be a "thank you" kiss turned into a full-blown 40-minute makeout session. first makeout sesh as a couple. cuteeee. 

i glanced at my phone noticing there was a notification from emma but instead of looking at that, i payed attention to the time. 2:27 pm. 

"baby, it's almost 2:30 and we have a whoooole night to be making out. plus, you probably spent a fucking fortune renting the carnival for the day which by the way, was SO UNNESESSARYYY" i said

 "evy it really wasn't that much don't stress baby. but you're right. tonight, i'll have your fine ass and pretty lips all to myself." 

i chucked and followed up by saying "yes you willlll." referring to the comment she made about tonight.

over the next few minutes, we both got out of the car and made it into the arcade after struggling to get through the front doors open. thankfully, the staff were able to help us. 

we decided to go on a few different rides where we both screamed at the top of our lungs. shit was so fun. at one point though, we both got super hungry and decided to eat at a vegan asian fusion food truck parked in the carnival. we shared a big bowl of vegan stir fry. it was cute how we shared the food. 

after about 5 hours of non-stop fun, we both decided it was time to head home. we came to the conclusion that we could always visit the beach another day but right now, all i wanted to do was lay in bed and cuddle. her too.
