Johnny Depp One Shots PART 2

Carnival Night

"One more, you've got this." Kate is standing behind Johnny with her hands in a prayer formation in front of her lips. One more shot and he's got this thing in the bag.

"C'mon, now. Don't let my girl down," Johnny whispers to the basketball in his hands. One.. Two.. Three..! The basketball leaves Johnny's fingertips and soars through the air in slow motion. Boom! The winning buzzer sounds and the carny looks displeased.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Johnny exclaims as Kate jumps up and throw her arms around his shoulders, her laughter filling the air. Johnny reaches back to hold her up, his hands under her thighs and her arms around his neck in a piggy back. The carny looks at them both impatiently and asks what she want in a disgruntled tone.

"Which do you want darling?" Johnny asks, as her eyes scan the large array of stuffed animals of various sizes.

"That one," she nods her head to the right. "The baby octopus."

"What? The baby octopus? You don't want one of the big ones?"

"He's cute. Just like you," Kate says, nuzzling her chin into his shoulder. The carny grabs the animal she requested from behind the counter and hands it to her. Johnny drops her from his back playfully.

"All that work for a damn baby octopus," he says. Kate let out a giggle and smile, nudging his arm with her shoulder lightheartedly as she continues down the midway, toying with the animal he'd won for her. He looks over and smiles back at her, those dark eyes of his swimming in the glow from the sunset. With the sun setting, all of the rides and game tents begin to light up, and just ahead of them the Ferris wheel dazzles with it's colorful dancing lights.

"The Ferris wheel! Let's ride it," Kate says excitedly. Johnny gives her a look that questions her seriousness.

"It's romantic," Kate purrs, taking his hand and dragging him towards it.

Once there seated in a car, Johnny puts his arm around her and pulls her close. Kate rests her head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat as the ride begins to move. As the wheel turns and there car gets higher and higher, the sounds of the carnival fade and a cool wind surrounds them . It's quiet and comfortable up in the sky, safe and sound in her boyfriend's arms.

Suddenly, they hear a creaking sound that crescendos to a loud pop, and the ride stops moving. Kate lifts her head and glance at Johnny with a concerned look.

"Well, shit," he says, peering over the side of the car. They are at the peak of the Ferris wheel, the car lightly swinging back and forth with the wind.

"What happened?" Kate turns towards him and try to peer over the car as well, squinting at the group of workers surrounding the panel to the ride.

"I think we're stuck up here," Johnny says. He doesn't seem worried, but Kate was a bit nervous. Johnny notices the worry in her eyes and softly places his hand under her chin, titling her head up to meet his gaze.

"Don't worry, baby , I got you," he says reassuringly. The lights are flashing in patterns all around them, reflecting in her eyes, making them iridescent. Johnny's looking at her with wonder, like she was made of starlight. He leans forward and places a gentle, calming kiss on her lips, her eyes fluttering closed as her nerves settle. He pulls back and studies her face, the small parting of her lips and her delicate eyelids, and the slight reddening of her nose from the chill in the air. Kate let out a soft exhale and slowly open her eyes, smiling as she realize he's studying her.

"What?" she asked , tilting her head to the side.

"I'm so lucky," he says, as he leans forward again to kiss her once more. Kate places one hand on his chest and the other gently on the side of his neck, pulling him closer. He has his hands on her hips, gripping them tighter as the kiss deepens. Her nails softly graze his neck where her hand is resting, eliciting a guttural moan from him. Kate feels a familiar pull in her core, wanting more of him. Kate parts her lips, inviting his tongue to explore her mouth. He grabs her suddenly, pulling and lifting her now straddling his waist.
