Jax x Reader ~Enemies to Lovers~

Chapter Five: Amusement in hidden feelings.

Jax and I walked into the amusement park with the others, and just like that, they all dispersed which left Jax and I at the entrance of the park. Jax looked at me with a curious glint in his eyes and a wide smile.

"So, what do you wanna do first?" He wondered. "You're the newbie here."

I was overwhelmed. This place was huge and there were vibrant lights wherever I looked. My mouth opened, but nothing came out as I was dazed by the place. Jax snickered at my dumbfounded state.

"Alright then. I guess I can always choose where to go, if you won't answer..." Jax chuckled with a smug grin. I looked at him and sighed.

"Well...you know the place more than I do. What do you think we should do?" I wondered with a head tilt. Jax hummed as his eyes danced around the area.

"Maybe...a rollercoaster?" He suggested. My stomach dropped. I've always felt anxious during rollercoasters, but I was NOT going to admit that to Jax--somebody who will use that against me.

"Um, yeah, sure," I stuttered, my heart feeling all over the place with fear. Once again, Jax had his signature smug look, like he knew what he was doing. I silently hated him for that. He probably knew my subtle fear of those anxiety devices. Though, I tried to follow Jax the most I can as he walked over to the nearest rollercoaster...that had loops. Aka: I'll be going upside down.

"Um..." My breath hitched as I stared at the big rollercoaster. Jax looked at me expectedly.

"What? Is it too scary for you?" He asked with fake sympathy hinting his voice like I was a child.

"W-What? No! Of course not!" I huffed with my arms crossed. Jax grinned with his arms crossed.

"Good. Then let's go," Jax motioned me over to the rollercoaster. I stumbled behind him, trying to calm down my racing heart. Jax didn't seem nervous though. He was sly as always with a grin on his face. I took deep breaths, just to keep myself from looking petrified. Maybe I have nothing to worry about. I mean, I can't die in this world...only abstract.

Eventually we made it to the rollercoaster cart. Jax grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the front seat.

"I"m NOT sitting in the front," I complained as Jax slipped next to me.

"Whaaaat? Why not? Are you scared?" He chuckled. A low growl emitted from my throat as I shook my head.

"What?! Pft-- no. I'm not scared," I responded with a grin. Though, that was a lie. I was fucking terrified.

"Good," Jax snickered. The rollercoaster cart started moving slowly from the original spot it was in. I gripped the bar in front of me so tight, that I wouldn't be surprised if my hands lost any sort of blood circulation. Jax seemed to sense my anxiety, since his grin suddenly went wider as I gripped the bar tighter.

The cart went uphill slowly. While the cart was moving leisurely up the track, I tried to calm my breathing down, knowing once the cart goes down, everything will go super fast and I was NOT prepared for my heart to leap in my throat. Jax was tapping his fingers on the bar in front of us as the cart continued strolling up.

The cart eventually hit the top. I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the sudden drop. I could sense Jax's grin, but I tried to ignore it. He's just being way too smug right now and I cannot give into his ego in any way, shape, or form.

That's when the drop hit. It hit FAST. I swear I was screaming bloody murder. I glared over at Jax while my heart (or whatever was my heart in this digital world) was doing somersaults. Jax seemed to be either enjoying the ride, or my terror, I couldn't really tell. After what felt like an eternity, the ride eventually was over.
