Seven - A Date (that's not an official date) at Thorpe Park

747 17 7
                                    

I wake up, with no intent on doing so, and I yawn. 'But I'm still tired' I thought to myself as I look over at the time.

9:25... SHOOT! SIMON'S GOING TO BE HERE IN FIVE MINUTES!

I dart out of bed and I right away take care of my hygiene, making sure I smell at least somewhat presentable. Then I rush back to my room and change into a pastel pink hoodie and my favorite pair of black ripped jeans. I also make the decision to wear my white converse today, because why not?

I look over at the pastel pink and red flower crown sitting on my nightstand. I wouldn't ever consider wearing it to school, since I doubt anybody will treat me respectfully, but as of right now, I'm with Simon. And I can trust him...

Right?

I put it on my head and I find myself liking the look and I unintentionally started posing in the mirror. I'm feeling it.

"Hey, Harry." I hear the familiar male voice from behind me. I jump and turn around, my face is probably red. "I'm sorry, your mum told me you'd be up here."

How much of my little modeling show did he see?

"Uh, h-hey Simon." I say, scratching my neck awkwardly. "H-How much did you see of that."

"I saw most of it. I didn't want to ruin your little fashion show." He says and I giggle nervously.

"Thanks for the consideration." I say and look away from his eye contact.

"You look cute, by the way." He says and my cheeks are kissed pink.

"T-Thank you. You book wonderful yourself." I say as I look at what he's wearing.

He is wearing a red t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and a leather jacket. He also wore red converse that complimented his outfit, which looked amazing.

"Thanks." He says and he walk back to the opening of my door. "You ready to go?" He asks.

"YES!" I chirp and I run down the stairs and I hear him chuckle behind me and walk down.

Rosie walks into the room, and I see her eyes brighten as she sees me, "Hey! You're wearing the flower crown I gave you!" She chirps and gives me a hug.

"I thought it complimented this outfit perfectly, and I love it." I say and I kiss her cheeks. "I'll be home later tonight. I'm going to Thorpe with Simon." I say and she nods.

"Oh, so that's the guy who you-" I cover her mouth before she could say anything else.

"What was she going to say?" Simon smirks and my face heats up.

"Nothing, nothing, lets go shall we." I say quickly before I let go of Rosie's mouth.

"Okay then, well, let's go!" Simon says and opens the door for me.

I quickly give Rosie two more kisses on the cheek and a hug, telling her to be good for mum, which she said she would, and I followed Simon out my door.

He opens the passenger door open for me and I sit down regally, "Thank you, fine gentleman." I say in a fancy tone and he laughs.

"I'm at your service." He bows as he shuts my door, and I giggle at our little role-play moment.

Then before I knew it, we were off to Thorpe Park.

It was around 12:30, and due to some traffic, it would probably be another hour before we would get there, we decided to go get some lunch.

I thought it was a good idea, since theme park food is unhealthy and the thought of it makes me want to vomit.

We stopped at a little strip mall, and we chose to go to a vegan kitchen. We ate our lunches quickly before heading back on the road, since the traffic right now is a little faster than usual at this time.

We drove the rest of the way there with no problems and arrived around 2:30, and as he parks the car, I put on my pink tinted heart sunglasses I had hanging on my collar.

We both get out of the car and walk into the park together, which took almost no time at all.

"It didn't take too long to get in and it looks like there's barely any people here. I don't think I've ever seen it this empty-looking."

"I think that since school just started, parents don't want to make their children think that summer isn't over." I say and he shrugs.

"Maybe, but it looks so empty.." He says.

"Well, that means that we will have less time to wait to get on rides and stuff." I make the positive about his and he smiles.

"Yeah, what do you want to do first?" He asks and I grin, looking at my options on the park map.

"Well..."

We spend most of our time walking around, talking, bantering, and riding rides, and I really had the time of my life. I haven't been in a couple years, so I was quite excited to go everywhere.

But now it was sunset, the sky is a gradient of pink, orange, and yellow and a little violet, and we thought to end the day, we would ride the Ferris wheel.

We enough step on, and we sit opposite sides of the little cabin, and we slowly lift up. I stare out at the open area in front of me, and it was so pretty that I took my phone out to take a really cool perspective photo.

Since we were the only people on the ride, the person running the Ferris wheel stop. Simon and I talk about the nature, and I feel him move over to sit next to me, and we both stare out at the open area.

I lay my head on his shoulder and I curled into him, and he wrapped his arm around me, and we sat there together in comfortable silence for the rest of the ride down.

We get back into the car, and we realize there we hadn't had dinner yet, and it was about 9:30!

We discussed dinner, and we go back towards the little strip mall that had the vegan kitchen, and we try an quaint little Italian place, and we talked about almost anything that came to mind. Music, books, pets, and even about aliens and conspiracy theories (I thought that people would find me weird for being fascinated by them, but I enjoy it).

Simon paid for our meal, saying it was his treat, and I thank him profusely and told him I will pay him back, but he responds with words that made my heart leap in a jiffy whirl: "Just being here with you is my treat."

And as we walk out, our arms linked, we play music and drive home in a comfortable silence.

We park in front of my house, and Simon offers to walk me to the door, which I happily let him do.

"Thank you so much for today Harry, I really needed it." Simon says shyly.

"Of course! I had an amazing time and thank you for inviting me."

"The pleasure was all mine." We both smile at each other.

"Goodnight, Si." I say and I hug him.

He wraps his arms around me. "Goodnight, Haz." He says and we let go. I turn back and unlock my door, and I hear Simon start to walk away.

Without thinking, I jog up to him, and he thrns around and faces me. I stand in my tip toes, and give him a kiss on the cheek. After that, I turn on my heel and run inside, and I shut the door behind me quietly, knowing Rosie and my parents would be asleep by now.

I get ready for bed, showering, hygienic routine... my drill.

After I plug in my phone, I crawl into bed, and before I fall asleep, I ask myself one question:

Am I already falling for someone who I just met?
