I glanced to the ground only to throw my head back and lean into the chair. My gut felt sick and ready to blow up.
"Are you scared?" Ash asked and I shook my head in denial.
"I'm... I'm fine.." I smiled and chocked on my own digested food. "I'm not fine."
"Here." He said and I felt his arms wrap around my shoulders and brought me to him. I felt uncomfortable and couldn't breathe straight.
Could this be it?
On the Ferris wheel?
"Do you want me to kiss you here and now?" He asked in a whisper and I tensed as I shut my eyes, trying to size it down.
"If you want." I swallowed with difficulty when I felt his breath on my face. He eventually pulled away and smiled.
"Not enough for you mh?" He asked as we went down. I flashed my eyes open and glared at him.
"When will you kiss me Ash?" I asked, feeling too teased already and the feeling bottled up in me so much and I knew I couldn't take much more until I break miserably.
"When you say you want me to." He said as he hopped off and held out his hand for me to take. I eventually got out myself. Too bored out of my skin.
"Fine, I want you to kiss me right now." I said and a few men and women glanced at us uncomfortably. I blushed and cleared my throat, smiling at them in embarrassment.
"No. I want you to beg for me to." He said challengingly and I frowned at him.
"I don't beg, and there are countless guys out there who could kiss me anytime, anyplace." I said and he chuckled and folded his hands.
"But they wouldn't make it special." He said and I opened my mouth to talk only to get interrupted.
Attention ladies and gentlemen the park will be closing in one hour.
"See! And the time is already gone!" I yelled at him and he chuckled.
"One hour is a lot." He said and looked around. "Follow me. We should get some pictures."
"Seriously!? You want to take pictures now!?" I asked as he yanked me across the park and towards a photo booth that no one didn't seem interested in.
Oh I wonder why.
Maybe because everyone else is having fun!
He stopped and pointed with his head to the photo booth and I stepped in with furrowed brows and crossed arms.
Seriously.
He stepped in and smiled as he dropped a few coins into the machine.
"Pose for the camera." He smiled and I glared at him but turned and stared at the camera as its beeping sound sounded. I smiled the cutest way I could and when the camera flashed, Ash kissed me as fast as the light could flash. I glanced at him in shock as my heart pounded in my chest. "There. I kissed you. Like promised." He smiled and I furrowed my brows.
"But that was so fast I hardly felt it!" I argued and he turned to the camera.
"Let's just take the photo." He said as the beeping came again. I groaned and turned to the camera, a bit well prepared he would kiss me again. But it flashed and he didn't.
"Hey!" I yelled at him and he grinned evilly at me.
"What?" He asked so innocently.
"You're not being so fair..." I frowned and glanced at the floor as the beeping sound came again. I straighten up.
Maybe the last picture should look good at least.
One the flash went off, his lips met mine once more and this one was a bit longer before he pulled back.
"I.. I didn't feel that too you know." I blushed and he chuckled, leaning closer to me. His eyes locked with mine. My heart went haywire as he dropped his eyes to my lips.
Get over with it buffoon!
"Should I kiss you? For real this time?" He asked as he face was awfully close to mine and I could breath in his air.
"Y-yes." I whispered out shakily, not wanting to keep troubling myself this way.
He smirked and planted his lips on mine. I felt numb, my whole body went into a drastic shock and I felt so weak and yet strong. He was gentle and soft at first, but he suddenly became rough as he got up and plastered his palms on my cheeks, tilting my head higher and deepening the kiss.
So this is what a kiss feels like....
I was breathless and speechless as he bit on my lower lip. A certain feeling crawled into my stomach and I slip my fingers under his jawline and kissed him back, harder than he was, trying to show a little dominance.
He groaned as he slid his hands down to my waist and pulled me to stand. We broke apart for some air and he smiled at me hungrily.
"I like you so much Riley." He whispered as his face was so close to mine that he was practically speaking into my mouth. "Stop thinking about Peter..." He whispered before his lips met mine again and I returned it, enjoying just how good he was at it.
I felt his fingers slip into my jeans and that's when I decided enough was enough. I broke the kiss and grabbed his wrist before he could go even further.
"Don't even think about it." I hissed and pushed him aside, stepping out from the booth.
It's always like that.
They always want something more from you. They always want what they want and will try to get it.
Pretend to love you.
Say such meaningful words, show you their good side. But when they get their price. You're like a second lost key in a bag of random keys.
"Riley wait!" I heard him shout from behind and I clenched my fists in anger.
He stopped in front of me and stared at me worriedly.
"You got mad all of a sudden... What did I do?" He asked and I chuckled out forcedly.
"Save the act Ash. We kissed, so stop pretending to love me okay. I'm sick of it." I said and he raised a brow.
"I'm not pretending. I really like you." He said and I shook my head in denial.
"Then why all of a sudden were you about to strip me naked? Do I look like all your other dolls? If you loved me, you wouldn't have just... You know what. Boys of these days end up like that. Not all girl want to do that!" I yelled and he blinked at me a bit taken aback.
"I'm sorry... I thought you... I thought you wanted to..." He said and I laughed out forcedly.
"Really Ash?" I rolled my eyes and shoved him away. "If you loved me, you would think to yourself that I need to keep myself the way I am until you know we'll spend life together."
"I wouldn't mind spending my life with you Riley..." He said and I held up my hand.
"That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my entire life. We just met last week, don't go making conclusions okay?" I said and he sighed as I walked to the gates as they were closing up. "Plus... I like Peter... Better."
*
I waited in the car with Peter and Sarah. Ash said he needed to use the bathroom before we left and I knew he wasn't even using the bathroom at all.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, regretting telling him that.
The car door opened and he finally got back. He didn't look like he was crying, instead, he had drinks in his hands.
"I was thirsty and had to get some drinks." I believe he said that more to the others and not me. He handed me my drink and gave the others as he backed from the parking space. I stared at him worriedly.
But I chose not to say a thing.
