THE ticket counter was full, filled with teenagers and adults who were ready to explore every inch of this place.
Then there was my favourite ride of all times, the tower rides. "Fuck, no, not that, please." He gripped my hand and tries to pull me to the Ferris wheel instead. "Never mind, that's fucking high." He shuddered nervously, biting his lip.
"Usually, I love it when you beg me, but not this time, pretty boy. Because then, I'd actually feel sorry for you." I dragged him to the ticket counter, enjoying his cute little "no"s.
You might actually think of me as cruel, but he immediately walked up to the ticket counter and bought two lightning lane passes. He looked more excited than me to be honest, giggling to the lady at the ticket counter, okay what the fuck. Was he flirting with her in front of me?
I stormed up to him with a furious look in my eyes. I actually care about him, wanting to embrace his fear together was my objective, even though I looked like I just wanted to make fun of him. "Hey darling, what are you up to?" I whispered to him, loud enough for the lady to hear.
His eyebrows raised, before he caught up to what I was doing and wrapped his arm around my hip. "I've got the tickets, Caramel. Just catching up with my cousin's wife here, Maureen." Maureen waved at me with a radiant smile on her face.
Well fuck. Fuck me. Please kill me. "Oh um hi, Maureen. My name's-"
"Caroline. I know. Leo talks about you, a lot." She pointed out, which turned Leo's ear slightly red as he shrugged. Oh. Well, um okay.
We started our mission called "E.F. (Embracing Fears) with Leonardo Kai" with one of my favourite rides, the Space Mountain. It wasn't that extreme, plus it was an indoor ride.
"Was it just me, or were you actually jealous, Caramel?" He teased while poking the side of my stomach.
"I was not. That is absurd!" I blinked a few times. I was not jealous! I wasn't. I would never be.
"Oh there's space mountain! Come on!" I tried to distract him. I dragged him to the line. It wasn't that long since we bought the lightning lane passes.
He glanced over me, well fuck he probably noticed how embarrassed I was since my cheeks are flushed. "You know, Caramel. I don't mind having a dangerously gorgeous woman like you getting jealous for me. Not one bit." He smirked and bit my earlobe cheekily.
"Okay whatever." I mumbled and pushed his side teasingly.
The ride operator guided us to our seats and helped us put on our safety belts. "How are you feeling?" I asked Leo. He looked intrigued yet he had that look of unsureness.
"Amazing." Our fingers grazed slightly before he flipped my palm around to hold my hand. "Don't laugh, but I'm actually kind of scared." He snickered low enough for me to hear.
I squeezed his palm. "Don't be. It's a natural reaction." I gave him a genuine smile.
"Thanks for doing this for me, I appreciate it," he whispered and leaned closer, "so so damn much, Caramel." He ended in a warm chuckle that tickled my neck.
I sucked in a breath. "The ride um is about to start." I said, before any of this flirty shit continued. I tried to shake the warm that was slowly creeping to my cheeks. "Um if you're scared, fuck um you can hold my hand." Why the fuck did I say that?!
He must've noticed the stuttering and the hitched breath wasn't making it any better. "Aw, catching feelings already?" He taunted. "But sure, I'll hold your hand." He picked up my hand and tangled his fingers around mine mockingly.
Pfft. Was he actually making fun of me? I'm starting to regret this. Did he feel sorry for me because I offered my hand? "Fuck no. I was actually trying to be nice for once. Let go of my hand before I cut yours off." I threatened as I tried to shake off his iron grip on my palm.
"You know I'm just teasing you, JB." He giggled.
"Oh stop it with that nickname!" My eyebrows furrowed.
I heard a clack, meaning the ride was starting. Yet, he hadn't let go of my hand.
Riding a roller coaster is such a wild mix of feelings. It all starts when you're getting strapped in, and your heart's already beating faster.
The coaster climbs the first big hill and I could hear him suck in his breath. "Don't hold your breath, relax Kai." I caressed his thumb gently.
The Space Mountain was one of my favourite indoor rides, why? Because you never knew when you were about to drop because of the dark.
He looked around, then it suddenly hit him. "Shit, I don't think I can do this. We're dropping soon, aren't we?" He trembled nervously. He probably didn't realize it but he was gripping my hand so hard that it hurt. But I tried to tolerate the pain.
I used the same hand that he was holding and placed it on his thigh with our fingers still intertwined. "There's no turning back. You can do it, Leonardo. I believe in you." I reassured.
"That's all I need anyways." He said casually.
He needs to stop with this flirting or I swear to God I'll actually think he likes me.
I could feel his heart pounding, and he was gripping my hand and the bar tighter with every second. Then-boom-we dropped. The wind hit our face, everything rushed past in a blur, and we couldn't even scream properly because we were too busy freaking out and laughing at the same time. "Fuck, I'm going to puke." Leonardo choked out while laughing.
"Don't you dare, motherfucker!" I laughed out.
The roller coaster twisted, turned, went upside down, and for a few seconds, I wasn't even thinking, and I knew Leo felt it too-just feeling everything all at once.
His hair flew all over the face, yet he could still manage to look dashing. We made eye contact and this felt like a moment. Everything turned silent for a few seconds. He leaned in closer, but I didn't. I didn't want to. Like at all. Especially on a roller coaster where we were about to drop again.
He didn't seem bothered by it anyways. He must've had plenty of girls to kiss and hook up with whenever he was bored anyways.
And yep, another unexpected drop and everybody shrieked.
"It's fucking scary but fun, somehow!" He shouted in relief. And I just answered with a giggle.
We got off the coaster breathless. "What the hell was that?!" He panted out. "Holy shit! Do you have anything else to offer here, Veronica?" He asked excitedly. He legit looked like a 5-year-old who got candy for free.
"Of course I do."
