THE FAIR

( At the fair )

[ Layla and Emma strolled through the beach side, twinkling lights and sweet aromas filling the night breeze . They had spent the day swimming and soaking up the sun and were now engaged in fluffy clouds of cotton candy.]

Layla: Wow! This is the best day ever.( exclaimed with excitement )

Emma: Totally! she agreed. I'm glad we came.

[As they walked , twirled their cotton candy watching the colours swirl together in a mesmerizing dance. Enjoying their treat. Suddenly Emma stopped .]

Emma: Layla ! look it's Chris this is your chance go talk to him.

Layla: No! I can't do that I scared to go and talk to him. (said shyly)

[ Chris was standing near the Ferris wheel looking more handsome then ever in the dim light. Layla's heart skips a beat as their eyes met ,but to her surprise he smiles and started walking towards her.]

Chris: Hey, Layla you look beautiful. I loved your dress.

Layla:(blushes) really ! You have a great taste , thanks for noticing.

Chris: By the way you smell amazing. What's the perfume your wearing.

Layla:(shy) it's my cotton candy. ( Raising her. treat )

Emma : I have a friend to meet; so I'll catch up with you guys later.

Chris: (to Layla) do you mind taking a walk ?

Layla: Nope !

Chris: great !

[As the night wore on, they strolled along the beach, the sound of the waves and the fair's music filling the aroma , Layla felt she is walking on the clouds. Suddenly she noticed something in the water and again the same voice echoed in her ears "come to me I waited for you so long......". she ran towards it leaving Chris behind, she climbed on a rock for a closer view ignoring Chris warning. Just then she stumbled over the rock and fell into the water, only to be rescued by Chris. ]

Layla: ( trembling) thanks for saving me .

Chris : anytime , I couldn't let anything happen to you .

[ They stood there for a moment, waves washing over there feet, fair's music fades into the background. Layla felt a spark between them. ]

Chris: you're shivering! ( concerned) let me warm you up .

[ warping his arms around her Layla felt his heartbeat, his warmth and his breath on her neck . She closed her eyes as if saving the moment.]

Chris: I'm glad, I spent the day with you.

Layla: Me too .

( As they stood up )

Layla: Ow! my ankle .

Chris: your ankle it's swollen . You must have twisted it when you fell .

Layla: yeah you're right.

Chris : let me help you.

Layla: No, it's okay I'm fine .

Chris: Atleast; let me drop you home .

Layla: No, it's okay I can go by myself ( trying to hide her pain )

[She tried to take a step forward but her ankle gave way beneath her gasped, falling forward. But Chris quickly caught her sweeping her into his arms .]

Chris: I've got you. ( whispering into her ears). Now let me take you home . You need to rest that ankle.

Layla: okay, thanks again.

[ He carries her to his car, and let her settled in .
As he drives in silence. When they reached her doorsteps Chris turned to Layla.]

Chris: I had a great time with you tonight. Despite the mishaps.

Layla: Me too; thanks for everything.

Chris: anytime Layla. Take care of that ankle .

[ He leans in, there lips where almost touched, but Chris pulled away, Smiling, thinking that he is moving too fast, making Layla feel unsure about his feels towards her ]

Chris : I'll be counting every minutes until I see you again.

Layla: I'm surprised by how much I loved your company, it felt nice.

[ Watching Chris drove away, she felt a spark of connection between them and she couldn't wait to see him soon.]
