Jayson's POV

Month 15

"You ready?" I asked Naomi as I held her door open and looked down at her sitting in the car.

"Yep. Do I need my wallet or you got it?"

"Come on." She knows not to ask me that.

"Just checking." She got out and I locked the car.

We're on a date. Yep. A whole ass date. We're in therapy and this was our task that we had to do before our next appointment.

It didn't matter where but we had to both agree on it. We chose the fair. It's night and we're going to try to have a smooth night without too many interruptions.

My security rolled with us to be safe but other than that, it's just the two of us. Something intimate may have been good but we're easing into getting back together. This is a good start for us.

"How many?"

"2." I said and paid for our admissions then got us wristbands so we could get on unlimited rides. "What you wanna do first?" I looked down at her when we got inside.

"I'm hungry."

"You don't want to ride nothing first? You don't want to throw up on nobody."

"Fine. What do you want to get on?"

"Whatever that shit is." I pointed up to a ride that was doing a bunch of twisting and turning. It had a long ass line too.

"Of course you do. You know I'm afraid of heights."

I looked at her confused. "For real? Cause you ride me-"

"Aye! Watch your mouth."

"I'm just joking. Come on it was a joke." I said as she walked ahead of me.

I can't read this girl. I can't. She's still thinking about it. I know she is but I'm going to stick to the course and continue to fight for my marriage.

We waited in line quietly which took 20 minutes. This night is not looking good. I'm trying. Maybe this ride will loosen her up then we can have a good night.

"Hey you're Jayson Tatum." The guy running the ride said as we went to find a seat.

I nodded and helped Naomi get in her seat. "You nervous?" I asked when I sat beside her.

"Nope."

I sighed and waited to get secured in my seat. He came around and clicked our harnesses. "Everybody ready?"

People cheered and he counted us down then started it. "Ah hell nah." Naomi said and held onto her harness as we were being suspended in the air.

I immediately started laughing. We were being flipped upside down and I glanced over at Naomi and her head was slumped in her chair.

"Boo." I tapped her and she didn't respond. "Baby."

She gasped a little when we turned upright. Her head turned in my direction with her eyes closed as she caught her breath. She licked her lips and made little grunts.

"Did you-"

"Shhh." She extended her hand to quiet me. "Just let me...shhh. Mm. Wow."

We were slowly brought down and I still looked at the side of her face. I licked my lips and sat back with a little grin. I know my mind isn't the only one in a gutter right now.
