PART SIX

"where'd you wanna go now?" zoe asked me. we were walking down the streets of rodeo and it was 6pm, meaning the skies were turning darker and the air was turning colder.

i saw a children's park in the distance. i turned to my right and a skatepark was there. she followed my actions and a worried expression was plastered across her face.

"no, there's no way!" she protested but i took her hand, dragging her along.
"come on," i grinned mischievously, pulling her closer.
"i'm gonna fall, though!"
"then i'll catch you."

zoe sighed, giving in. still holding her hand, i dragged her further to the skatepark and towards a rack of skateboards that had been left over. i took one that had a bart simpson sticker on it.

i let her stand back so she could watch me a few times. i set the skateboard on the edge of the curve before taking off on one foot, and pushing forward with another foot. she watched me skate for a few times.

"no, there's no way i'll be able to do that," zoe argued.
"there's nobody here to see if you fall," i pointed out.
"there's you!"

i chuckled at her comment, "i promise i will catch you."
"fine," she sighed, walking over to me.

"put your right foot on here," i told her and she followed my instructions, "you can hold onto my arm if you want."
"okay, thank god," she exhaled, making me smile.
"and use your other foot to push you along."

zoe's hand held onto my left shoulder as she took off, trailing along the flat floor of the skatepark.

"quickly put your left foot on the board too," i raised my voice over the noise of the wheels against the solid ground.

she travelled a few feet further and i ran alongside her, holding the small of her back.
"okay, wow, that was fun," she giggled, putting her foot down on the floor.
"wanna do it again?" i asked.
"no," she replied, making me laugh.

moments later, we were sat on the top side of the skatepark, looking at the stars in the night sky.

"imagine if you didn't pick my phone up, we wouldn't have had a day as fun as today," zoe said, looking at me in the moonlight.
"i know it's crazy," i said back, "today was so much fun, thank you."
"no problem, thank you for finding my phone," she thanked.

sat at a red light on the way home, i whipped my phone out from my back pocket. i already dropped zoe off at her hotel on the way after i gave her a goodbye hug.
