|| I wish that you would love me like yesterday||

I felt heavy arms around me and soft snore against my neck; I carefully turn around and watched him sleeping soundly.

My hand subconsciously reached his hair and stroked them carefully. He stirred and tightened his arms around me.

"Ready for our date?" He asked groggily, without opening his eyes.

I smiled slightly and hugged him.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Where do you want to go?" He questioned me instead.

"Do you wanna go to the amusement park or is it very cliche?"

"Amusement park it is" He gets up from the bed and stretches showing his perfect abs.

"Let's skip school today" He suggests

I blinked once and then twice, waiting for his response where he would crack a smile and would say 'I am joking' but that never comes

" I guess you are serious" I muttered finally

"Of course I am. Please just once. I promise I won't ever ask you to skip in future and I'm sure Eva won't mind" He looked at me with what called a hopeful eyes

"Fine," I said and before he could react I quickly added," If Eleanor finds out the blame is on you."

He shrugs as if it's nothing then went to his room. I quickly texted Eva saying I won't be able to come today because of my 'date.'

***

I am feeling so excited right now. I have not been to an amusement park since my parents died. I can't even remember the last time I was here.

My whole face lit up watching people enjoying, some were screaming their hearts out as the roller coaster keep running fast, some were enjoying their ice-creams and some were clicking photos.

I feel like I won an Oscar. That's how happy I am right now.

"What do you want to ride?" Vincent asked eyeing each and every ride for adults

"I don't know," My voice quivered probably from all the excitement

"Let's just ride everything" I suggest

Vincent laughs and shakes his head slightly. I must feel like a child to him, but he didn't protest instead grabbed my hand and led me towards a ticket counter. I was shocked to see a handful of tickets. He took two of the tickets and gave me the rest to keep it safely at my small purse then led me towards the spinning teacups

"Let's start from here" He smiled

As much as childish it looks, I must admit it was quite fun. It's like a whole world was in chaos. After the whole spinning ride, we went for Flying Chair rides. And then finally roller coaster. At first, I was excited but as the roller coaster sped up, it scared the hell out of me.

Finally after the chaotic, scary and fun-full ride; we decided to take some rest.

"Wanna get some ice-cream?" Vincent asked. Judging by his sweaty face he is surely in need of some ice-creams.

"Sure. I want butter pecan" I replied.

After a while, he came with two ice-creams in his hand. He gave a butter pecan to me and started eating his mint chocolate chip.

"Are you tired?" Vincent asked after a while

"Not really" I shrugged.

"Are you?"

"No, we still have Ferris Wheel to ride" He points out

I feel excited once again. The idea of riding the Ferris wheel with your loved one, I have only expected this in a movie, but in a real life, it's like a dream coming true.

I watched as a girl and a boy with arms around each other walks past us. They must be on a date I thought. Their faces show that they must be so in love.

Will I ever be madly in love with Vince?

Stop dreaming. He hasn't even asked you out yet. My subconscious pointed

"Do you want some cotton candy?" I asked Vincent out of nowhere

"I don't like them" He scrunched his nose

I stare at him for a longer time. I just can't believe this boy who was staring me right back

"You've got to be kidding me," I said with a serious face

"No, I'm not. I honestly don't like cotton candy"

"For the years of friendship how can I not know" I feel ashamed of myself right now. It's true we have been best friends for years but I don't have the slightest hint that he didn't like cotton candy

"We didn't exactly come to this topic, I guess." he scratched his neck slightly

I must agree with him too. We didn't go to the amusement park together. We only used to hang out at either mine or his house. If by chance, we want to spend time outside then we would usually go to the picnic and grill the barbecue since it's like the tradition for my dad.

"It's time to ride a Ferris Wheel" Vincent drags me towards the crowded area where most of the people were lining up for the ride

After a half an hour ride, we just stroll at the park watching some kids lightening fireworks.

"Do you wanna say something?" I asked Vincent as he keeps on scratching his neck and glancing at me

"No" He quickly replies but again added,"Actually yes"

I waited for him to go on but he just keeps staring at the ground

"Whatever I have to do this" He mutters and kneeled in front of me holding his hand in the air he says," Since the atmosphere is romantic with lights and all the fireworks, I want to officially ask you out."

"Will you be my official girlfriend?" He asks with gleaming eyes, his lips slightly quivering.

To say I am not surprised would be an understatement of the year.

I quickly regained my posture and like a flash, I smashed my lips into his.

"It's a 'yes,' you idiot!" I murmured against his lips and once again kissed him.
