Chapter Nineteen: Part 1
Emilia's POV:
Letting out a small yelp as we took off, i heard Dylan chuckle. Feeling the breeze on my back and holding on super tight to Dylan's abdominal, i may have opened my eyes once or twice but the third time i kept them open, riding a motorbike isn't as bad as you think it's pretty awesome if you ask me. We were passing all these trees and i'm guessing a forest, maybe even the middle of no where, but i didn't ask obviously i couldn't really hear with the helmet on and over the loud engine along with the breeze. After about i don't know an hour i'd say, we arrived at some sort of park except this park has carnival rides so some kind of festival. I smiled at that, i really did love festivals i used to go with the family when i was younger,
I heard the engine turn off and Dylan got off first, "Need help sweet cheeks?" he asked with that cute smile of his that i just adored,
"Nah i should be..." just as i was saying that i stumbled forward trying to get my right leg over the seat, Dylan having quick reflexes caught me before i fell face firs, he chuckled and i laughed, "Maybe i do," i said alittle embarrassed and i felt heat rush to my cheeks at that, covered by the helmet luckily. Once i was off the bike and helmet free, my hair was alittle frizzy from wearing the helmet but who cares.
Dylan led us towards the ticket booth and purchased two wrist band ticket thingys and headed in the grounds. The festival was filled with family's, little kids and couples. It was packed but not really. Stalls were on both sides of the entrance whether it was sweets, food, games or stalls just selling little things.
"So this is the part where we get to know each other better," Dylan said and i smiled slightly,
"That is what a date is," i laughed lightly, and rolled my eyes playfully,
"Ok..." he paused while he thought of something, "do you have any other siblings other than Ash?" he asked and i shook my head,
"Nah, just Ash unless you count Parker as a brother."
Oh shit, did i just... oh, oh goodness this isn't good, he didn't know Parker was more like my brother. Crap.
"Parker, as in your ex Parker?" he questioned and i looked down at the ground, oh great maybe i should tell him, but... i'm just going to tell him,
"Uh Dylan... i kinda have to mention something," i started,
"Sure," he said and nodded for me to continue,
"Well you have to promise not to get mad or anything first cause i don't really want to ruin the day for us and everything." he nodded,
"I promise i won't get mad," he told me in a promising tone and then i continued,
"Let's just make this long story short..." i gulped, "Me and Parker only, well you know were a couple because he... we... i... tried to make you jealous." i said really fast, "but it wasn't my idea i swear," i babbled,
and shit i wasn't suppose to mention that either... crap, crap, crap.
While i said all that i didn't even look at him, i kept my eyes straight ahead or on the ground.
"Not that it matter's now, but i never really liked him... like that anyways." he stayed silent and we were standing in the middle of the walkway, i shyly looked up at him and his expression wasn't one too happy if you ask me, "please say something," i whispered, now i really regret telling him seeing the look in his eyes,
"You what!!" he said quite loudly making a few people look at us, his expression turned from confused to anger to jealousy to one i couldn't recognize,
"You promised not to get mad... and plus you were dating Layla at the time, the person told me to just prove a point and i guess i wanted to know." i said quietly, this was suppose to be a good day, and i just ruined it, "I'm so..." before i could continue i felt something warm on my lips, and i gasped,
Dylan's arms wrapped around my waist quite tightly and possessively pulling me closer to him, his lips in sync with mine it was a slow quick kiss but it was full of our emotions in it, there was no tongue just a closed mouth kiss.
"Don't apologize," he told me with a small smile,
"What? I thought you were mad? Well are you? You should be." i babbled on and he shock his head and placed his lips back down on mine, shutting me up straight away,
"Em, i'm not mad ok. At first maybe, but like you said you wanted to prove a point and look where it got us, right here ok. So forget this happened and lets not let this ruin the rest of the day." he smiled and i smiled back,
"Ok, then. What about you, have any other sibling apart from Faye?" i asked him, forgetting what just happened and continued on with our date,
"Nah, but i count the guys as my brothers. So yea." i felt warmth on my hand and looked down at it to see Dylan placed his hand in mine, i gladly wrapped mine around his and i saw a small smile appear on his lips, not that it had left since he saw me back at the house,
"Oh lookie... can we go play that?" i asked him, with a puppy dog look, pointing to the basketball hoop stall, you know the one where if you throw three balls in a hoop you get a prize,
"Anything you want, sweet cheeks," he smiled with that same smile on his lips,
The rest of the time at the carnival was good, Dylan was joking around with me. Winning me prizes but i don't know where were going to put them since he drove his bike here and we also went on rides. Hm anyways right now we're in the line for the Ferris wheel, the thing i love most and this one particularly goes high like really high in the air and by the looks of it the view is amazing.
"When's your birthday?" i asked randomly, looking up at him (even with heels on he's taller than me),
"October twenty second, you?" he asked, wrapping his arm around my side pulling me closer to him,
"July nineteenth."
My birthday is always during the holidays and this year i get to spend them with my mom in England.
"That's only a few weeks away, you doing anything then... for your birthday i mean," i could hear the nervousness in his voice, does he want to plan something with me,
"Actually i'm going to Europe with mom..." i paused and looked up at him and his eyes were now concentrated on the floor, "for the whole holidays." i added and his expression looked, sad,
"Oh," his tone was disappointed almost, "Ok so after this ride, we have to go to make it to our next destination," he said changing the topic also changing the mood, and we moved up in the line, two more before were up,
It was around midday now, so i wonder where we are going... hm,
"So where are you taking me?" i asked with a quirked brow in a playful tone,
"Uh uh uh, don't think i'm giving you that much information." he poked me on my side with his index finger while he said this, and that made me giggle,
"Ok, ok. Well here's a question for ya. If you could travel back in time to one point in your life what would it be?"
"Next!!" The ride person called out and it was us, Dylan and I took our seats in the carriage. The women placed the metal bar in front of us and soon we were lifted up in the air,
"Well that is easy," he smiled, his eyes glistened with happiness, "Meeting you, i know we started off on edge and well not very good. The only good thing that i have given you since we met were our friends, and i do intend to make you the happiest girl alive... even if that sounds cheesy."
I suddenly looked down at the ground looking over the carnival since i felt a blush rising and a smile forcing its way on my lips, he intends to make me the happiest girl alive... i bit my lip, smiling to myself at what he said. Gee am i glad i met him,
"Sweet cheeks?" he asked, and i looked up at him and he smiled that genuine smile of his, "your blushing," he stated poking my cheek, and that made my blush deepen, "It's cute,"
"What?" i asked confused, looking into his eyes which were glistening with happiness,
"Your blush, its cute. Very much like you."
That made me look the opposite direction, me cute... never, i hate being called cute... but him saying that to me has a whole different meaning, my heart is racing really fast right about now and my stomach has the butterflies fluttering crazily,
"Thanks," i mumbled so quietly, i don't think he heard me,
Suddenly his hand reached my chin and he moved it so gently towards him so i was forced to look at him, but just looking him in the eyes makes me blush more after he just said that. This is what he does to me, only he has this affect on me,
"Sweet cheeks," he said softly, looking into my eyes, leaning his head forward and mine was doing the same until our lips were nearly touching, "your so beautiful." he told me, after that my eyes fluttered shut,
Where did that come from?
And in an instant our lips touched ever so lightly, in a slow gentle sweet kiss. Smiling into the kiss, our lips in sync. Dylan wrapped his arms around my little waist and pulled my towards him,
"Get a room!!" someone yelled from above and it sounded almost familiar, we both looked up and saw a smirking, wait for it... Leon. What the hell is he doing in this part of town. He also had a cute little brownette sitting next to him, maybe his sister she couldn't be older than ten by the looks of it, they do look a like though.
"Gibbens. What the hell you doing here?" Dylan yelled above, he was surprised as i was and the thing was he was above us wouldn't we have seen him, looks like not.
"I can't be in our own town festival, Collins." he raised a brow in joking matter, chuckling abit, "and what is it that your here for Collins? Emilia," he acknowledged with a nod and a smile, which i returned,
"What does it look like Gibbens?" Dylan shouted back up, and the carriage stopped. We were now at the top of the wheel and the view was absolutely amazing. The view was of our small town and if i turned around the small beach was in view, but it was far away you could still see abit of the water though or was that a lake? maybe it was.
Dylan moved his arms so that one was around my shoulder pulling me closer into a tight hug and his other hand held mine, and i couldn't help but smile,
"Oh you guys are on a date?" Leon exclaimed and i giggled at that,
"Is it that obvious Leon?" i said playfully and he just winked back,
"Em, see right over there?" Dylan asked pointing to somewhere in the view, and my eyes focused and it looked far off, "that there is my favorite place," he told me and i'm still trying to figure out where he is pointing to,
"Where on earth are you pointing to?" i laughed lightly, and he licked his lips and smiled, coming closer to my ear, and whispered,
"Well you can just wait to see then?" he kissed the spot under my ear with a smile and i pouted, swinging my legs waiting to get off the ride patiently,
Soon later we were off the ride and heading towards his bike, hand in hand. I still don't know where were heading but who cares, i get to be with him and that's all that matters. The butterflies has been fluttering around my stomach non stop, making it do flips and turns. My feet are starting to hurt from wearing those heels mom told me to wear but honestly i don't care and forget they hurt once i look at my amazing date.
"How do you usually spend a Saturday?" Dylan asked with a curious tone, and i didn't need to think twice about that,
"Well Saturday's were usually spent at home reading books, watching movies and doing homework. That was before i met you guys though." i smiled looking up at him, and he smiled back. This day is just filled with smiles and me blushing... heaps.
"Nice, what kinds of books do you read?" he asked,
We've been asking questions back and fourth this whole day getting to know each other. This is my first date and i'm really enjoying it,
"All different kinds, mainly fiction about werewolf's, paranormal. Stuff like that." i replied and he nodded, "what do you do on Saturdays?" i asked the question he had asked me,
"The usual stuff bad boys do." he winked and i just shook my head,
"Seriously," i giggled,
"I normally just go to party's with the group, drink, have fun. Something that were doing tonight." he told me with a slight smirk, i quirked a brow and looked up to see we were at the bike so that's my cue to get on.
I hopped on and straddled it, Dylan then passed me his helmet and got on. I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly, only hearing his voice once more before the loud engine,
"Hold on tight,"
And with that we were off again.
