Manual of The Forbidden ➡ Irwin

Chapter 36.

After fantasising for a little while in my head he pulled over, but I didn't find anything out of place, just streets, canals and people passing us by.

I didn't notice when he got out of the car, I realised just when I saw his tall figure standing at the other side of the door opening it for me.

"Thanks." I smiled, hopping out of the car, I still didn't know where I was or where he was taking me.

He closed the door behind me, while I tried to look for that place Ashton had mentioned, but I failed.

"Let's go!" he said holding my hand, sending shivers down my spine.

He guided me all throughout the street and then we turn left in the corner, and I could hear all the noises and saw the little lights belonging to the fair, I opened my mouth in amusement, I had never been in a state fair, much less one in Europe.

"Do you like it?" he asked smiling, showing me his dimples.

"I'm pretty excited, to say the least!" I admitted, admiring every single detail as we came closer.

"I know, Sharon told me when you were little you played the fair in your room. She has come here a couple of times, but I know you haven't, so I really hope you enjoy this."

-Sharon!- I thought.

My hand froze in his and I let it go immediately, I had to think of Sharon.

"Oh Ashton, you're so sweet!" I said, and his eyes shone as much as the lights adorning the fair.

He smiled, breaking me down, almost stopping my heart.

We walked inside and what my eyes captured first was a lot of kids carrying their parents from one attraction to another thinking that will make them go faster.

"And... What do you wanna try first?"

"Ermm... Bumper carts?"

He laughed at my question, and he held me by the arm, but it didn't feel the same as when he held my hand. He guided me to the carts and I got a cherry red one and he a bubblegum blue one, we bumped each other until our time ran out, and I laughed every minute of it.

I walked out of the attraction and my hair was messier than ever, but Ashton looked flawless as always.

"That was fun, now where?, I like your hair by the way," he pointed at my head.

"It's your turn, and I like my hair as it is!" I slapped his arm playfully and laughed.

He laughed along moving his gaze, maybe thinking of which game we should try next, until his eyes stopped in a point above us.

"Let's go there!" he cheered like a 7-year-old.

I looked to where he was pointing at and my eyes had elevate so much I felt sick.

"No!" was the first thing that came out if my mouth.

"Oh, C'mon Dawn!, it can't be that bad!" he tried to convince me.

"That bad?" I replied sarcastically. "no, no, no, not even if I were crazy I would get on that damn ride!" I said, turning around trying to scape.

He stopped me, pulling me on a tight embrace with his strong arms.

"Well, call me crazy because I'm going to get on that 'damn ride'," he said really low, melting my heart at his sweet voice. "it's just a rollercoaster."

"It's just a rollercoaster, with the size of the Everest!" I said, trying to break free.

"It's not that high." he replied, holding me tighter.

Truth be told, I was really scared of rollercoasters, braveness was never one of my best qualities, and never in my 22 years of life I had been on one, and this time seemed to be the exception to that rule: Ashton was almost begging and that made my reasoning more difficult.

He had carried me to the queue, and I hadn't realised until I heard the screams of the people in there.

"You're completely nuts if you think I'm going to get in there!" I said trying to scape, again.

"I told you I already am, and you are going with me." I didn't know why I liked those last two words so much, but before I could run he grabbed me by my wrist, pulling me closer to him, hugging me tightly, destroying my willpower and of course, making my scape impossible.

I stayed quiet, admiring his beauty from such a small distance.

"Please, go with me," he begged in the sweetest voice I've ever heard, "or I won't let you go until you tell me you will."

Suddenly I forgot how to speak, so I just nodded. My heart was beating loudly against his chest and I couldn't help but blush because he hadn't let me go.

"Great," he said. "thanks."

-Sharon, Sharon, Sharon, Sharon!- yelled a voice in my head, and I felt guilty at the moment, and I had to force myself to speak.

"I acceded to go with you, so, can you please let me go?" I muttered, my cheeks still red.

"No, because if I let you you will scape. And until we're sitting there I won't believe you." he held me tightly and I could hardly breath at this moment, but I didn't want to either, because that would mean leaving my beautiful prison.

He smiled at me and then looked up again, I loved to be this close to him, his fragrance was all I could smell and that caused, even if it sounded stupid, butterflies all over my stomach.

"Yay! We're next." he said paying for our tickets, walking us in.

My stomach sank.

"Ashton..." my voice trailed off nervously.

"Shh, it'll be fine, I'm here to protect you," he smiled, still holding me in his arms.

I sat and he did the same finding a spot next to me.

"Ash, I'm not really sure..."

"You're already sitting here, there's no way back." he cut me off.

We were instructed to pull down the security tubes above our heads, my stomach moved a little when I realised the tube didn't reach my abdomen.

"There's no risk of falling, right?" I asked nervous.

Ashton looked at the tube and laughed.

"There's always a first time for everything,"

"What?!" I squealed alarmed.

"I'm just kidding," he bursted into laughter, "we'll be fine."

The cart started moving, making it's way up, I wanted to run, I really wish I could, but as he just read my thoughts, Ashton held my hand in his rubbing small circles with his thumb.
