Chapter 15 Part 2: Santa Monica Pier

"Then I'm ready. What are we going to do first?" I asked.

"Do you like roller coasters?" He asked.

"I never really been on one but I'm not gonna lie they scare me to death." I replied.

"I'm not a big fan of roller coasters either."

"Yeah, a few years ago one flew off the track. Never been a fan since." I said.

"Well then we'll avoid the roller coasters."

"Mhm" I hummed in agreement.

"How about the Pirate ship?"

"Okay." I answered. We got in line for the Sea Dragon which was the actually name of the ride. It swung 180 degrees. It was a pretty cool ride then I talked Harry into doing the Pacific Plunge which was a 9-story drop tower that would pick you up 45 feet in the air then make you free fall. It was awesome! I lost my stomach when the ride dropped though. 

"That was awesome!" Harry nodded putting his hat back on.

"Yeah, that was cool." He replied. The sun was starting to go down.

"Do you want to get dinner? I think there's a Mexican restaurant at the end of the pier."

"Okay." We walked out of the amusement park heading down the pier to Mariasol Cocina Mexicana. We had to wait a couple minutes then we were seated on the Beach Patio. It was nice. There was a nice view of the beach, and there were lights strung along the patio. We were seated by the railing sitting across from each other.

"This is really nice." I commented.

"Yeah, beautiful." He said looking at me. I smiled. The waiter came over to get our drink order. We looked through the menu deciding what we wanted then the waiter came back with our drinks then took our order. We both ordered tacos.

"So I seen a bit of the Manchester versus Leicester City game."

"Yeah, what did you think? I saw pieces of it."

"The first half was really good. Falcao made a nice goal but the second half I thought they played back more instead of going forward."

"What was the final score?"

"Three - one Manchester." I said taking a sip of my Pepsi. (Give him the Pepsi and you can be in the band)

"So I made you a Manchester United fan?"

"Kind of." He smirked.

"You really like football"

"Yeah."

"What position do you play?"

"I play both defense and offense. Defense mainly." He told me a story about when he was younger playing soccer. It was a funny embarrassing type story and it was really funny. I laughed when he finished telling me the story.

"Thanks a lot for laughing."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's just really funny." I laughed.

"Well, your turn to share an embarrassing story."

"Okay. Um..." I was trying to think of an embarrassing moment.

"C'mon you have to have one."

"It's not as embarrassing as yours but about um...two years ago, I was running after the ball and ran straight into a wall." He got a kick out of that.

"Were you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, just had a bruise on each knee for a couple weeks not a big deal."

"I feel bad laughing about that." He said beginning to calm down.

"Don't. I laugh about my clumsiness all the time." The waiter brought us chips and salsa. We took turns dipping. We talked till our food came then we digged in. It was almost completely dark when we finished eating. We went back to the amusement park to ride the ferris wheel. The line wasn't bad there were about twenty people in front of us but we got on. He was telling me about the one in the London eye.

"You'll have to see it. It's the tallest ferris wheel in the world."

"That's what I've heard." It started to go as soon as the people behind us got on.

"It's been forever since I been on a ferris wheel." I said remembering the last time I was on one.  It had to be 11 years ago. Geez, I sound old.  As soon as we got off, Harry pulled me on the carousel, we laughed at how ridiculous we must of looked. We got off looking at the carnival games they had. We seen a few we wanted to play so we went to each one. We went to the ring toss game. I could never get a ring on the bottle without it coming off. Harry was determined to get one on so we tried a few times until he got one on.

"I got one." He smiled. He won a jumbo plush bear.

"Jeez...any bigger and it'll be a life size one." I commented. He handed it to me.

"There you go. I want you to have it."

"Thank you." I smiled. The Tub Toss was next. They had plush bananas with a face and a bow tie. I had to win won for Harry. I paid to play then got three in a row. I won. I handed the banana to Harry.

"There you go, Harry. Go bananas."

"Thank you." He chuckled. We played a few other games then Harry wanted to go for a walk on the beach. We put our prizes in his car then took off our shoes. We walked along the shore.

"You won that tub game your first try. How did you do that? When I tried I couldn't even get one in."

"About five years of softball. I was a pitcher and when I was learning to pitch, my coach made me do something similar like that then my Dad made me practice at home with a laundry basket."

"What sport can't you play?"

"Shut up" I nudged him with my shoulder walking.

"Do you still play?"

"No. I love soccer more." I said as we walked in silence for a moment listening to the waves.

"How long have you been a fan?" He asked.

"Since 2012 around the time when Live While We're Young music video came out."  

"Have I always been your favorite?"

"Well to tell you the truth it was Niall then Louis then you."

"You were a Niall and Louis girl." I saw a playground with swings a couple yards away from us.

"For a little while then I fell for you." I said running to the swings. I got on pushing off with my feet but Harry stopped me by holding the chains of the swing.

"You fell for me?" He asked.

"Yeah." 

"Well, I have something to tell you."

"What?" I asked.

"I fell for you."
