Eli's phone buzzed. He checked it. It was from Clare. "Are we still on for our date?"
"Of course ;)" He responded.
When Clare received the text, she smile. She was surprising Eli with a date for his birthday. He had no idea where they were going, but they were both pretty excited.
Clare's phone vibrated. "I'll be there like in 2 minutes"
Clare finished getting dressed, fixing her hair and her dress. She wanted the night to go perfect for Eli, it was his birthday. She heard a pebble hit her window. She knew it was him. "I'll be right down" She yelled. Clare grabbed her purse, her jacket and ran downstairs.
"Bye Mom, Bye Dad" Clare opened the door and shut it right behind her before her parents could even respond.
Eli was texting Adam not realizing Clare was standing in front of him.
" I mean I'm standing here all dolled up, but of course your phone is the greater issue here" Clare said sarcastically. Eli looked up. His eyes open, his jaw dropped. And he realized it was hard for him to speak.
"Uhh. I-I.Y-you…."
"Are you good?" Clare askes giggling.
"Uhh…yeah. You just….you look really pretty…like really incredible." Eli complimented.
Clare held her down and pulled a curl behind her ear in innocence. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah" Eli said going around to get in the drivers seat. Clare pulled him back and kissed him. "We're gonna have a good time tonight" Eli pulled back, "I hope so, but can you at least tell me where we're going?"
"Well If I tell you now it won't be a surprise" They got in the car and began driving. Clare told him exactly where to drive. About 3 minutes away. "Are we going to…." Clare interrupted him."Make a right into the parking lot".
They got out the car. Eli realized where they at. "We're going to Wonderland?" Eli asked. Clare smiled, "Yes, you have something against amusement parks?"
"No…I just….Thanks" He smirked. Clare grabbed his hand and led the way inside.
It was night so the lights from the rides lid up the park.
"What ride are we going on first?" Eli asked.
"Whatever you want, its your birthday." Eli smirked. "Fine then we're going on the roller coaster. Sometimes intense to start it off" He exclaimed.
"Eli, seriously? You know I'm terrified of roller coasters"
"Well its you who said its my birthday and I get to choose."
"But Eli….." Clare said in a sympathetic way.
Eli grabbed Clare's hand and ran towards the roller coaster to stand on the line.
"Clare, please cheer up" Clare had her arms folded and upset since she was afraid of heights.
"Why would you take me to an amusement park and not want to go on?" Eli asked not really excepting an answer.
She dropped her hands. "Im scared, okay?" "The one time I did go on a roller coaster, it got stuck. It was so terrifying and I promised myself I wouldn't….."
Clare had gotten interrupted by Eli attacking her with a kiss. "You'll be with me, it's fine. I'll make sure your okay" Clare smirked and nodded.
"Alright, now brighten up before I attack you again"
Clare purposely made a sad face and Eli attacked her with a kiss again, this time more passionately. As he pulled away Clare was smiling and he smiled back and they realized they were at the front of the line.
Clare got in first and Eli followed. They fastened their belts and the cart began to move. They were in the very last cart. As they began to go up, Clare put her head in Eli's chest and held his hand tightly.
"Clare, it's gonna be okay" he lifted her head up and kiss her and she smirked. Clare wanted to look to see how high they were but retrieved. She did slowly and saw that they were very high and panicked. "Eli, I want to get off, NOW"
"Trust me please, you're gonna be fine" They reached the top. Clare held her head up but kept her eyes closed tightly. Eli looked at her before they went and down, they both screamed. Clare opened her eyes, she was reliebed that big drop was over. As the ride continued, they were still screaming, hands interlocked, laughing. As the ride came to a stop, they got off.
"Thank God that's over" Clare said in a relief.
"Admit it, you had fun".
Clare looked at him, smirked and ran to the photo booth to look at her and Eli's picture. He showed up behind her wrapping his arms around her waits. "There it is" She pointed."Great, they got when me when my head was down looking like a nervous wreck"
"I think you look adorable" Eli exclaimed. "I'm getting it" Eli purchased the picture, wallet size and placed it in.
"You hungry?" Clare asked. "Yeah let's go grab something" Eli added.
"They held hands and walked the different consession stands. "What are you getting?" Eli asked.
"I want ice cream." "So much for food" Eli responded sarcastically."I'll get it and we can share. Eli walked over to get them their ice cream. Clare walked over to get them some seats and she waited for Eli. He came over with the most gigantic ice cream any human has ever seen.
