It's Complicated

Events

Today Josh picked me up at my house and he met my parents. He was very polite around them and thanked them for letting him take me for the day. I show up in a plaid skirt and a white scrip top with a little knot in the front. When he looks up to the stairs his jaw drops and he wipes his eyes saying, "you look.... beautiful!". I look down at my black high top converse and laugh under my breath. He opens the door and gestures for me to go ahead while he says bye to my parents.

"So, where are you going to take me, mr. boot?"

"I actually don't need it today so jokes on you." He says with a smirk on his face. "And it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you."

I sigh and look out on the road again. "Are you sure you're even supposed to drive?!" I say with worry in my voice.

He laughs and says,"I'm fine Emily."

"Ok...."

We arrive at a place and he puts a blind fold on over my eyes, making sure not to get my hair in it. He walks me over to the entrance and takes the blindfold off, revealing the entrance to Elitch Gardens. I gasp and say, "I didn't bring that much money, Josh!" He just smiles and buys two day passes for us. He walks me inside and I beg to go on mind eraser. He says it's "too scary" for him. I forced him to anyways.

It seems like we were waiting in line forever when we finally get to the carts. He is not doing to well with this. I grab his hand as were being buckled in and he grips it tight. The whole ride was twists and turn with his hand gripping tighter and tighter with every turn it made. When we get off he's still gripping my hand and I tell him,

"It's gonna fall off if you hold my hand any longer." I wince.

"Well I guess your hands gonna fall off."

We keep walking hand in hand as he walks up to a food cart. He gets me some cotton candy in my favorite color and we sit down, still hands locked together. I take a bite of it and he leans over and take almost off of it off of the stick. I gasp and look over at him with his face stuff with cottoned sugar. I laugh at him and then he brings me to the River Rapids ride. We get into the raft and we're going down the stream when a huge wave hits me and I fall over, my head hitting his thigh. He lifts it up and asks if I'm okay. I nod and we continue to go down the rapids.

I get off of the ride soaked to my toes and Josh's hair is wet while everything else is completely dry. He takes off his dry sweatshirt and gives it to me to put on. I put it on over my crop top and lean into Josh's warmth as he puts his arm around me. He pushed me away and pulls me up to his face as our lips come together for one warm kiss. I put my head on his shoulder and we keep walking through the park, doing every ride we can.
