The One

The One (20)

Steve pulled away as the ride came to a stop. Apparently no one had noticed my near death experience, cause the operator certainly didn't come rushing up to me to check if I was okay. He must have been slacking around.

We got off the Viking Ship and claimed back our belongings. I looked up at Steve. "Thanks," I mumbled.

"You're nuts," he said.

I grinned sheepishly and finished the remainings of my candy floss.

We spent the rest of the afternoon riding rollercoasters, screaming our lungs out and going wild. I was about to suggest to Steve to go inside The Haunted House when he checked his mobile and saw that it was 5.37pm.

"Okay, it's time to go home and get ready for dinner!" he announced.

"But we haven't tried The Haunted House yet!" I moaned. "Pleeeaase?' I begged, pouting my lips and giving him my puppy eyes.

He grinned at me and said, "Can't say no to you, I guess."

"Yes!" I cheered and pumped my fists up in the air. I took his hand and said, "Let's go!"

~~~~~

Finally, after much screaming, jumping and running, we found the exit to the Haunted House. We were both panting heavily. Steve panted, "I'm never going into a haunted house ever again."

I nodded. "Shall we go back now?" I asked.

Steve straightened up and said, "Okay. Then we'll go out for dinner."

We walked back to his car. We were standing outside his car when Steve suddenly said, "You've got to be the craziest person I ever met."

I gave him a look. "I'm not," I retorted.

Steve shook his head and chuckled. "You're the only one capable of falling off a Viking Ship," he said.

"Hey! I didn't fall down in the end!" I said.

He laughed and gave me a devious smile. "That's cause I had to come and protect you. How was it like, being saved by your Prince Charming? I totally bet you're so in love with me now."

My face grew redder and redder by the minute. "As... as if!" I replied defensively.

Steve walked closer to me. "Hmm... is that so?" he asked.

"O-of course!" I said. His body was nearly touching mine now.

He smirked and wrapped his arms around my waist, leaving me nowhere to escape. He gave me a mocking smile. My heart was pounding rapidly.

"Just admit it already, you like me," he said.

"What? How am I supposed to say that when I don't even know if you're serious or you're just kidding me now?" The words were out of my mouth before I even knew it. Oh shit. What did I just say?

"Then look at me. I'm serious."

I took a deep breath mustered all my courage and looked up at his face. Everything else seemed so surreal. His green eyes looked perfectly serious. I got captured in his gaze.

He raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"I... I don't know..." I replied honestly.

He tilted his head and smirked at me. "Well, that could be a serious problem then," he said.

"Why?" I asked curiously, my heartbeat increasing and increasing at a rapid rate.

He leaned forward and whispered to me, "Cause I think I like you."

I stopped breathing. Literally.

"What?" I gasped.

He smirked at me. "You heard me."

I stood there in his arms, gaping at him. My heart was beating so fast until I couldn't distinguish one beat from another.

He stroked my cheek gently. "So?" he repeated.

"So what?" I asked.

"I'm waiting for your response," he said.

I stood there dumbfounded, blinking my eyes. "I... I... I think... I... I..." I stammered.

He cut me off by pressing his lips against mine. Instinctively, I responded immediately. He pulled me closer to his strong body, sending sparks all throughout my body with his soft warm lips. It was then I realised that I liked Steve Collins too.

He pulled back first with a smile playing on his lips. "You took such a long time replying that I got impatient," said Steve. "So what's your answer?"

I raised an eyebrow at him and smiled. "I like you too," I whispered back.

He smiled and leaned forward to kiss me again. It started off lightly, but it slowly got more and more passionate and intense. I could stay there forever with our lips glued. But sadly, humans have to breathe.

I drew back this time to breathe. Steve smiled at me and said, "That's the answer I was looking for all along."

I started blushing again, my cheeks as red as my lips. Steve chuckled. "Let's go back now, Cinderella."

I gulped and nodded before getting into his car and he drove us back to school.
