Rose's POV
I climb into the front seat of my best friend's car.
"Hey, Jack," I smile up at the curly haired boy.
"Hey, Rose," He smiles, as he pulls out of my driveway. Tonight, there was a carnival in town and Jack had basically begged me to go with him. I, of course, gave in easily. Spending a whole day with Jack is what I needed. Especially with the week I'm had.
"Hey, what's on your mind?" He asks as we're stopped at a light.
"Nothing much," I lie. He nods, sensing that I don't want to talk about it. The rest of the car ride is silent.
When we get to the carnival, Jack and I race to the entrance. The tension from just minutes ago completely evaporated as we laugh and mess around. He pays for the tickets, all though I try and pay for myself, he insists.
"Let's go on the Ferris Wheel!" Jack smiles, pulling me towards the big wheel. The line is short and we get on almost immediately. The pod we were sitting in was small. Although Jack was on the opposite side of me, our knees were touching. The cart goes around once as Jack and I talk about small things. As we go again, it comes to an abrupt stop. I look down to see that we've stopped directly at the top. I shiver at the height and the cold air around us.
"Are you cold?" Jack asks, looking at me. I nod my head. He slides over to sit on the same side as me. He then drapes his jacket over my shoulders.
"You don't have to," I mumble, taking it off to give back to him.
"Rose, put it on," He laughs, looking at me with a smile. I roll my eyes playfully at him as I slip the jacket back on.
"Attention riders! The ride will be back on shortly. There were technical difficulties. Do not worry," A voice says from a bullhorn on the floor.
"Great," I mumble, looking over at Jack. He gives me a small smile.
"There's something I wanted to talk to you about," He says, looking at me. I smile at him, staring into his beautiful brown eyes. He moves a lock of my brown hair behind my ear before taking a deep breath.
"I don't know how to say this.... So I'm just gonna go for it," He says. I furrow my eyebrows together.
"I.. uh.. I like you, Rose. I like you a lot actually. And I have for a while now. I just didn't want to tell you because our friendship is amazing. And it is amazing I just... I don't I want to be more." His eyes don't be mine as he rambles. I laugh at him as I cup his face in my hands, forcing him to look at me. His eyes meet mine and I place my lips on his. His arms wrap around me and he pulls me closer.
When we pull away, I rest my forehead on his.
"I like you too, Jack," I smile. He smiles back at me. The ride starts moving which causes the both of us to cheer.
Once we get off, Jack grabs my hand, intertwining our fingers.
"Rose, I have a very important question for you," Jack says, looking down at me. I look back up at him.
"And that is?" I ask, pulling my bottom lip in between my teeth.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks. I nod, a smile stuck on my face.
"I would love to be your girlfriend," I smile.
