I've Been Waiting...

Prologue

The delicious smell of caramelized popcorn wafted through the dense air of the fair, accompanied by a sweet candy floss scent. Your glistening eyes squint slightly at the blindingly colourful lights, raving for your attention, beautifully contrasting the ebony black of the night sky. The song "I'm still standing," was blasting from speakers around the fair, causing your hips to sway slightly.

Finally, your eyes land on what your nose was leading you to, "Let's go get popcorn!" you squeak, spinning towards Pleoh, and giving him a large pair of puppy dog eyes.

He lets his blue eyes trail over to the popcorn stand, his features crunching up slightly at the long line, "Do we have to? Popcorn is more of a movie thing,"

"Holy shit... you're so right," you giggle, grabbing his wrist and dragging him through the crowd, "Come on, I swear there's gotta be a candy floss machine somewhere near here,"

"How do you know that? I thought you've never been here," he chuckles, willingly following as you heave him around,

"I haven't been here before. My parents would never let me stay out this late while they're not in the county," you had explained to him before that your parents said you couldn't go while they were in Paris, but Pleoh wouldn't take no for an answer, so here you are while a pile of pillows is pretending to be you, as they lie under your duvet at home, "Besides, I can smell it,"

"You really are a dog," he exclaims with a laugh, as you both pull into the line for candy floss.

Turning slowly, with a joking glare, you scoff, "A dog?"

"Yeah, you pull me like you're a dog on a lead, then sniff out the candy floss stand," Suddenly, his expression changes from teasing, to lovingly touched. His hand comes up, and pushed some hair from your face, cupping it behind your ear, "Not to mention, you gave me the most adorable pair of puppy dog eyes," his thumb caresses your temple as he keeps his palm holding the side of your head.

Feeling your cheeks heating to temperatures above boiling point, your eyes widening in shock. You know Pleoh has a crush on you, it's pretty obvious. The way he acts in class, especially now that you're in University. He's always complimenting you, and texting you... but he was always so sweet about it, and shy. You never thought the blonde idiot would actually make a move, and such a bold one too! Not to mention a pretty good one.

"She's obviously a kitten, you fucking dunce," A buttery male's voice proclaims. You turn to face the source of the sound, baffled as to who it could be.

"What did you say?" You instinctively say, before realising with a shock that you were instead faced with the female candy floss vendor... she couldn't have possibly said what you heard.

"I said, can I get you two lovebirds any candy floss?" The woman behind the counter questions in a lovey-dovey way.

You both instantly break apart, Pleoh putting his hands in his pockets and hunching over slightly. Seems you were going to have to be the one to order, "Y-yeah. Two candy flosses please,"

"Are you sure? We have a giant one for couples to share,"

Now feeling as though your whole body was melting in embarrassment, you giggle and think correcting her is not the best idea, "No, we'll have two separate ones,"

She eventually did it, and during the process, Pleoh and you were completely silent. Neither of you could utter a word, or even look at each other. You like Pleoh, he's super sweet... but more as a friend. This was going to be an awkward rest of the evening.
