Fate Chooses

Chapter 22: Teddy Bear

ALLANA'S P.O.V.

Liam pulls me to ride after ride, us enjoying each one. He even had us go on the little kid dragon roller coaster. We just got off of that one, actually.

"That," Liam says, laughing. "Was fun."

I laugh also.

"Yeah, It was." I say, hearing my stomach growl. Liam looks at me.

"Hungry love?" Liam asks. I nod, as we walk over to a food cart. Liam gets us a huge cotton candy treat. He takes off of a pink, fluffy goodness an puts it in my mouth. I laugh, as it melts in my mouth. Liam grabs my hand, while feeding me another piece.

"Thank you, Mr. Payne." I say, holding his hand.

"Your welcome Miss Audrus." He smiles back at me, planting a kiss on my cheek. I blush, and squeeze his hand. He squeezes back, when I notice the classic game, 'knock the pins over with a ball'. He notices also, and we walk over to the game. One of the prizes is a stuffed teddy bear, with a heart on its tummy.

"I'm going to win that for you." Liam says, taking out a five dollar bill so he can play the game.

"Liam, you really don't have to." I say, blushing at the gesture. He places the bill on the counter and the clerk gives him a ball.

"Yes," He says, picking up the ball. "I do. I want to." And with that, he throws the ball, knocking down all 3 pins.

"Good job." The clerk says, handing him the teddy bear. We walk away from the stand, holding hands. He turns to me, handing me the bear.

"Here," He says, handing over the bear. "For you to keep even if you don't pick me..." I am shocked at this, and then a new wave of guilt washes over me.

"Liam-" I start to say, but am cut off by him.

"Its okay." He says flashing a weak smile. "I get it." I smile back weakly in reply. 'Do something quick, Al.' I think to myself. Since the date is winding down to an end, since we have been here for 3 hours, I notice a ride we haven't been on yet. The Ferris Wheel. I smile, hatching a plan in my head.

"Do you want to go on the Ferris Wheel with me?" I ask, looking up at him. He smiles at me, and nods. We walk over to wait in line, the line not being too long. It is dark out now so all of the festival lights are on, flashing the colors of the rainbow. Liam is still holding my hand, but is looking forward. Looking up at him, I can look at him with out him noticing. He looks so amazing tonight, his soft brown eyes capturing all of the lights. His hair is tousled from the wind, and his face is in a small smile.

"Next." The operator says, interrupting my thoughts. Liam and I walk to the ferris wheel seat, and sit down, being latched in. We then move backwards, going upwards, then stopping for the next people to get on.

"Thank you, Liam." I say, looking at him. He looks at me, and smiles.

"Your welcome. I enjoyed tonight a lot." He says, wrapping his left arm around my waist, pulling me into his side. I wrap my arms around his torso, resting my head on his chest. I can hear his heart beat quicken, and I smile knowing that I did this.

"Liam?" I ask, sitting back up.

"Yeah?"

"I do like you, a lot." I say blushing. He blushes also.

"I like you a lot too." He says, as we move a little bit farther up.

"I'm sorry about the whole Zayn thing..." I mumble.

"You shouldn't be. You like him also, and I get that. I also know that you two kissed." He says. I am completely shocked by this. How does he know.
