Dancing in the Dark

8. The Date that went Wrong

Its hard to explain this here, but I feel it's something you should know.
The world, as beautiful as it is, is filled with some people that are greedy and jealous. Nasty people.

Dont let what they say go to heart. Most nasty people never recieved the love they need or attention. Some are jealous and some are spiteful.

Don't walk alone at night, walk in groups. Always tell a person how you feel about them. Even your friends. You either love someone or you don't.

Be that friend that's always there for someone, to lend a shoulder, a hug or even a couple dollars. Kindness is the key to a peaceful and content life, no matter how dramatic it gets.

No one is truly alone. Close your eyes for a minute and take deep breathes. Feel the air rising on your arms? The wind slowly patting you? The subtle noises that sorround you?

That will be me, my darling. Letting you know that I am there.

I don't want you to step anxiously forward to an unknown destination. I want you to leap with bells on, screaming here you are.

I want you to have everything you possibly need in your life. Emotional support, physical allies, financial security.

Here, you will have it.

February 2018
"Don't!" I gasped as Max leaned over. My heart was in my chest, pounding. We were on the London Eye, riding it and Max made the bloody thing swing.

It wasn't much, but enough for me to grip my seat. "I wanna get off!"

Max sat back down and looked at me in amazement. "Are you scared of heights?"

I took deep breathes, looking at my knees. I didn't want to look at the view around me.

"I think so. I don't know. I've never been this high before."

I heard Max chuckle. "Wow. I'm failing miserably. I take you on Europes biggest observation wheel to see the whole city and its a no go."

I peeked over at Max and gave him a small smile. "You didn't know."

"Yet you didn't either." He grinned at me, making me giggle. "Alright, we will get off, when we go back down."

I sighed in relief. "Thank you. Otherwise, you won't like me soon. My stomach is churning."

"Hold it in." Max laughed. "There's nothing to ya, so it might not be too bad."

I grinned, raising an eyebrow. "Besides the three coffees, pancakes for breakfast, the fruit salad for morning tea, two bottles of water and a salad for lunch, yeah, nothing to me."

Max let out a whistle as I felt the wheel turn. We were slowly heading back to the ground. "My, you can eat."

"I burn a lot of energy. Plus I've also had a protien bar."

Max turned slightly to me from his seat. "Enlighten me. What is a daily diet for you?"

"On average?" I asked and Max nodded. "Uh, five pieces of fruit, manderins preferably or clementines. Popcorn, snack size of course, a breadroll with salad. Also a couple protien bars, a handful of grapes. Some cheese, celery sticks, carrot sticks and water crackers, a yoghurt and a small handful of peanuts or raisins."
