People of the Night

Chapter 3

1 day after Alyssa and Charles arrive at Debra's house.

Alyssa's POV:

I woke up at around 8 A.M and as I turned over to Charles, he wasn't there. He must be in the kitchen. All of this paranormal activity is getting me a little out of hand. I feel like all of the energy in me just got sucked out. Basically I felt like a pile of crap.

I decided to go to the kitchen and get me a cup of coffee. As I walked into the kitchen I saw a shirtless Charles, his hair had a "just woke up" look to it, but it was cute.

"Hey beautiful," he said while he kissed me on the cheek.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked him.

"Great, you know considering I was by you the whole night," he replied

I smiled.

"By the way, I already made your coffee just the way you like it," he said.

"Two sugars and a dash of Nesquik?" I asked.

"Yes honey," he replied.

It was so sweet how he made my coffee.

We both sat on the porch and sipped our coffee as we watched the sun rise.

"What's the plan for today?" I asked him.

"Well I was thinking we could have a day all to ourselves," he said with a grin.

I smiled with excitement for I needed some fresh air. Hopefully this will cure my "sickness" a little bit.

"I was thinking we could go downtown to the carnvial, ride a few rides, play a few games, and then end the day watching the sunset on the beach," he explained.

"Sounds like a plan," I replied with excitement.

A few hours later we got ready and made our way down to the carnival.

They were barely any people there, so it was like we had the whole fair to ourselves.

"I'll take 20 tickets," Charles said to the ticket employee.

We started off with going on the Ferris wheel. When we got to the top, we could see all of the beach and South Carolina. It was so romantic.

Charles' POV:

"This view is breathtaking," she said looking outwards.

"Like you," I said looking at her.

She was so beautiful the way the sun made her eyes sparkle and the way her hair blew in the wind. I suddenly looked into her eyes as she looked into mine. I then moved towards her as my lips touched hers. As we shared a very fervent kiss, I felt the cart move downwards. Both of us were so involved in the kiss, that we didn't even realize the cart move. As the cart stopped at the bottom, we parted away from each other. I got out the cart first and I grabbed her hand and helped her out.

"Let's play some carnival games," I suggested.

The first game we played was where you got three balls and you had to knock down these 3 pins standing up straight.

"Go on Alyssa," I said.

Alyssas' POV:

I grabbed the first ball and aimed at the first pin. I just went for it..........and I missed.

That's a shocker.

"Here let me help," Charles said as he placed the ball in my hand.

He put his hand over mine and it was like we were both aiming, when actually he did all the work.

"You gotta aim and then pop your arm up," he suggested to me.

As we threw the balls, we knocked them all over.

"WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!" the employee screamed.

Charles helped me win a big stuffed bear. It was huge. Through out the whole day we played games of all sorts. We played the game where you test your strength by hitting the metal puck with a huge hammer. Charles tried and he got the puck to hit the bell, never knew he was that strong. We rode a few more rides and won more prizes.

"I'm a little hungry," I said to him.

"Let's share a funnel cake," he suggested.

I love funnel cake.

As we got the funnel cake we sat down on one of the benches and started to dig in.

"This is so good," I said looking up at him.

"You got some powdered sugar on your mouth," he said to me with a giggle.

"Uh-oh..," I said.

"Let me help," he said as he got real close and cleaned my mouth off with a napkin.

After he cleaned my mouth, we looked at each other for a second. I put my hand on her cheek and we shared an intimate kiss. During our kiss, I moved my hand into her hair and stroked it.

"Thanks babe," I said to him.

"No problem," he replied.

After endless hours of fun, it was 7 P.M.

We made our way down to the beach. The waves were rushing against the sand. We decided to have a little fun while at the beach.

Charles' POV:

I really wanted Alyssa to have fun while at the beach. So while she was looking into the depths of the ocean, I came behind her and tickled her.

"Charles!!" she squeaked.

I know she is super ticklish, so why not.

She started to run away from me so I started to chase her around a little bit and after a while I caught her and tickled her a bit more. We both fell down to the ground, falling into the sand. We were having so much fun.

After much more fun like looking for seashells, making messages in the sand, and more tickle fights. It was time for the sun to set.

Alyssa was standing in the area where the water touches the sand. I came from behind and put my arms around her. As the sun set, the water turned from a turquoise, to a very blood orange.

"The water looks astonishing," Alyssa stated.

"It does," I said back to her.

We shared a sweet, delicate kiss as the sun set letting off a bright orange light onto the beach.
