"You're going too fast!" I shout over the wind.

"What?" He yells back, now increasing to 90 mph.

"YOU. ARE. GOING. TOO. FAST." I tighten my death grip on the handle as he throws his head back and laughs.

"Just testing out the speed limit, my love." He turns up the radio and reaches over for my hand.

"Take a deep breath and let it go." He sings, prying my hand from its position and then nudging my shoulder a bit.

"You shouldn't be drowning on your own..." I mumble along.

"And if you FEEL YOU'RE SINKING
I WILL JUMP RIGHT OVER
INTO COLD, COLD WATER
FOR YOU!" He begins to belt, and I burst out in laugher, slowly joining in.

"And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you..."

"And I hope you know–" he waits for me.

"I WON'T LET GO!" I give in, and the beat drops and the wind carried my fears away and my hands are up and my cheeks are glowing–

What is this boy doing to me?

We pull up to this small candy shop; my request.

"You've got money?" Sticker swipes his card into the parking ticker and turns to me.

"It's Kevin's. He doesn't mind." He laughs, and then softly guides me by the waist into the store.

"Wow..." I trail off in amazement. The entire store is decorated with pastels; pinks and greens and blues. The candies are all organised and sorted by color, and it looks like a rainbow lining the walls.

"Welcome to Paula's! Today we have a free sample deal," she hands us each a small bag, "fit as much candy as you want and it's free! Anything you're looking for today, boys?"

"No, we're just browsing, thank you." Sticker smiles at her.

"Oh! You are not from here? Your accents..."

"American." I finish for her, and she clasps her hands over mine.

"Wonderful! We do love that country. Maybe bring back some candy for mama, will you?" She laughs, and I knew she was joking.

"I'd love to." She pats my hands once again, before bustling over to someone else.

"Wow." Sticker remarks after she left. "Aren't you just a charmer?"

I shove him by the shoulder and head for the red section as he laughs.

The first thing that caught my eye was, "Redwood jelly beans?"

"Oh?" Sticker asks, kneeling next to me. He looks around, then sneaks his hand in the canister and takes out two.

"Hey!" I scold, "put those back!"

"Shhh, I've already touched them. Here." He gives me one.

"On the count of three." He says, and I sigh in defeat.

"Fine. 1, 2, 3." We both pop them into our mouths, and gosh, I wish I could take a picture of his face. Then again, it probably closely resembles mine.

"Okay then."

"It, um,"

"Actually taste like,"
