Run Girl, Run

°°Chapter Eighteen°°

I staggered of the ride, the world spinning rapidly around me. I clutched my stomach as I searched frantically for the nearest trash can. I grabbed ahold of it, doubling over as I barfed up my lunch.

Ben rushed to my aid, and he held my hair back & out of the way. Awww, I thought between my coughing and spluttering. He's sooo sweet!

Regardless of the fact that I was the one who said it, this thought surprised me. No. Snap out of it. I wasn't about to let Ben wiggle his way into my heart just like that. I was kinda overreacting, but I decided I was gonna nip the 'budding romance' in the bud.

After I had finished emptying the contents of my stomach, I felt Ben run a hand up under the back of my shirt. My head whipped around as I stared in straight in the eyes. "Why-why are y-you do-doing that?" I asked as he rubbed circles on my back. "To comfort you." he mumbled as he chewed on his bottom lip. My breath hitched in my throat, & I was fighting desperately for air. My eyes wandered to his lips, but I snapped my eyes down to the ground before I could meet his.

I mentally slapped myself. How could I let this happen? I took a step back to distance myself from Ben, & he shoved his hands in his pockets. I awkwardly took a mint from the bucket that the ride operator held out to me.

I shuffled back to Ben, and he pulled me into him, his arm wrapped around my waist. I felt my body stiffen. "C'mon slow-poke. I wanna ride the teacups." he said nonchalantly. I felt my excitement rushing back, and I instantly relaxed. My head only came up to his chest, and I couldn't help but glance at his muscles.

     "So how'd you like the coaster?" he asked, looking down at me. I tilted my head back & laughed. "I loved it. Couldn't you tell from my excessive vomiting?" He chuckled lightly. I looked up and we were standing at the waiting line for the teacups.

I tripped over Ben's leg on the way up the stairs to the RV. I fell on top of him, snorting wildly with laughter. He gasped for air as he laughed uncontrollably, pushing himself up on his hands.

We had just pranked some people in the crowd. Ben borrowed a spray bottle from the maintenance man at the ferris wheel. He filled it with water, and when we were in a crowded area, he spritzed the spray bottle and made an obnoxious sneezing noise. It was priceless! We got everyone wet, and some grandma even cursed us out! We ran all the way to the RV, with the security running after us.

We were falling all over ourselves with laughter when we plopped down along side each other on the couch. I sighed loudly & smiled at Ben, & he smiled down at me. Once again I was face to face with him, & I caught sight of his lips. I licked my lips involuntarily, and Ben did the same. He leaned down, & I felt his soft lips brush mine. He drew back a little, and I grunted in frustration. I hadn't realized how I felt about him till now. So much for not letting him wiggle his way into my heart.

I put my arms around his neck & tugged him closer. He kissed my jawline & put his hands on my waist. He tilted his head slightly upward & his lips finally made contact with mine. My lips parted slightly, and a small moan escaped. He scooted closer to me and I ran my hand through his hair. He worked his tongue into my mouth, and I melted in satisfaction. My tongue glided across his and he nibbled at my lip. My eyes fluttered open & I pulled away gently. Now it was his turn to grunt, his eyebrows furrowing. My lips curved up into a smile, and his face softened. He cradled my cheek in his hand and I gazed up at him.

As much as I wanted to fight it, fight the feeling in the pit of my gut, I just couldn't. The nagging voice in the back of my mind had gotten so loud, it was far too hard to ignore. At this point, it was pretty much impossible.
