Chapter 4
It started to get dark out. That's when the colorful lights came on. We were amazed at the sight. Wow, this day is passing by really fast. I wasn't really ready to say goodbye to Ally. It's been the most fun Ive ever had with her. Im starting to actually like her. Like, really like her. Can you blame me? Just take one look at her. But it's not just her looks. It's everything. The way she talks, walks, laughs, smiles, pouts, hugs (her panda), eats, and even sneezes. Her sneeze is adorable. As weird as it sounds it's true. Im not gonna lie. She's like the definition of perfect.
It kinda scares me how much close we've gotten. This morning it was just a tiny little crush and now, it's grown really big. I never thought I would have a big crush on a complete stranger. But this stranger is cute, funny, competitive, fun, adorkable, creative, kind, and beautiful. And right now, Im rambling on in my mind about how amazing she is and-
"Austin?" Ally snaps me out of my rambling thoughts about her. Huh? That sounded a little weird. "Y-Yeah." I smile nervously at her. "Are you okay? You zoned out for quite some time." she raises an eyebrow. She's so cute when she does that. Oh gosh, why can't I just stop noticing cute things about her. Can't she just stop being so freaking adorable and-!? "Austin!" Ally snaps me out of my thoughts again. "Sorry." I mumble and look down trying to hide my blush. How can this girl make me blush? I never blush! "So, where do you wanna go next?" she asks. I look around. My eyes spot the Ferris Wheel.
"Let's go to the Ferris Wheel." I point to it and grab Ally's hand. I pull her over and when it's our turn we hop in. I see Ally clutch the bar tightly making her hands knuckles turn white. She's afraid of heights isn't she? "Ally are you okay?" I ask softly. She takes a deep breath and smiles. "Yeah, Im totally fine." she replies. I shake my head and chuckle. This will be interesting.
The ferris wheel moves suddenly and Ally squeals and her hands fly to my chest and around my waist. I smile at this and wrap my arms around her. "It's okay. We'll be down in no time." I assure her. She nods shutting her eyes and the ferris wheel keeps moving. We're finally down again but it still moves. "Again?" Ally asks and groans shutting her eyes again and never opening them. Her grip tightens around me and I do the same to her. "It's just another round, we'll get off soon. Don't worr-" the ferris wheel makes a weird sound and stops. But it stops when we're at the top. Wow, coincidence? I think not.
"What happened?" Ally starts to panic and once again shuts her beautiful eyes. "Ally, open your eyes." They're still closed. "Come on. Let me see your beautiful eyes, Ally." I caress her cheek making them pink. Finally her mesmerizing eyes open. "There they are." I smile. "U-Uh, t-thanks." she stutters. "No problem. Now, look." I point. She looks cautiously.
"Whoa." she breaths out. The view up here is amazing. We see all the city lights and we pretty much can see my car. Wait! Oh man, I left it. I can't believe they didn't tow it yet. I hope they don't.
"It's so... beautiful." she smiles. "Yeah..." I admire the view with her. A few moments later, I look at her. She does the same. I look at her pink and plump lips and to her eyes. This goes on back and forth until I start to lean in. Only a few inches and... Yup, the ferris wheel starts moving again. Ally shrieks and buries her head in my chest. I sigh.
Dang it!
I was soooo close! I can't believe I almost kissed her! But I should have known I wouldn't. Today has been only bad luck. Oh well. Ill get her next time... I hope... Now I need to find a way to make things less awkward right now. I am such an idiot for trying to kiss her. It was probably because of the moment.
"Austin? We can get off now." Ally snaps her fingers in my face. "Oh, sorry." We get off the ferris wheel. I try to forget what happened a few moments ago. It's still running through my head. What the heck is going on with me?
"So where to next?" Ally asks. I shrug and look around. "How about that?" I point to this big hamster ball or whatever it is. But there is a pool in the bottom. Ally nods and we walk over. We wait not that long before we enter in our separate ball. It takes a few more minuets to fill the ball with air. Finally we are pushed in the water. We both fall down. I try to get up again but the ball keeps spinning every time I try. I try several more times but I always end up on my face or butt.
"Austin!" I hear Ally. I turn my head and see her struggling. I try to go over to her but I fall once again. I hear her laugh. I glare at her and think. Okay, I got an idea. "Ally! Just pretend you're a hamster!" I yell. She nods. I go on my knees and gently crawl forwards. I fall again on my face. "Austin! Move backwards not forwards. You'll just go the other way!" Ally shouts. Oh. "I totally knew that!" I lie.
It takes a long time but we finally reach each other. "Hello there." I smile. "May I help you?" she raises an eyebrow. "Nah, Im good." I shrug and chuckle. "So, what happened to you today? I mean, with the PJ's and you saying today was a rough day." she asks. I guess I should tell her.
"Well, I woke up at 5 am, I decided to make some pancakes and then my friend called me so I got distracted. Then a fire started and I had to call 911 and my house burned down and so I decided to come here but my car ran out of gas so I had to walk in the rain. I didn't know where I was going so I walked up to you and well, that's my story." I finish. She gaped at me. "Whoa. That IS a rough day." she says. "Yeah, I know. But it's not all that bad. I still met you which is amazing." I shrug and she blushes. "Thanks... So what happened up in the Ferris Wheel?"
My turn to blush.
"O-Oh, I don't know. I guess... In the moment?" I stutter a bit. "Right..." she looks down. Then an idea pops in my head. "Ally? Can I try something?" I ask. She looks back up and nods. I sigh and slowly lean over. Her eyes widen for a second and she leans over too. Does it mean she likes me? I hope so. When our lips sort of touch, the ball spins and we both fall on our faces. We both laugh as the man helps us get out of the water.
When we are out of the ball we burst out laughing again. Then Ally stops laughing and wipes her mouth. That hurt. "W-What's wrong?" I ask worried. "That ball is dirty. Do you know how many people have been there? How many faces touched that ball!? So many germs! Ew! Ew! Ew!" she keeps wiping her mouth. I sigh of relief. At least she didn't do it cause she sort of kissed me. It wasn't a real kiss but it was really something.
"So... it's getting pretty late. I think we should both head home." Ally says looking at her watch. I nod then my eyes widen. That means... we have to say goodbye. "Y-Yeah." we walk out of the carnival. We stop. "So, what happens now?" I ask. "I don't know." she replies.
Silence.
"I guess Ill see you then." she says before I could ask for her number so I can call her when I get a new phone. We both know what happened to my last phone. "W-Wait!" I grab her hand. "Can I at least have your number?" I ask hopefully. She shakes her head. "I actually have to sell this phone. Im actually is crisis. I need to pay my bills and it's just so hard for me right now. So..." she looks down. I didn't know she needed money. I take out my wallet and hand her every dollar I have in there.
"A-Austin, no. I can't." she hands it back to me. "But you need it." I give it back. "No, Ill find some money somehow." she says giving it back. I give it back again. "Ally, please. You need it and I need you." I blurt out. She gapes at me. "To accept this money." I finish quickly and laugh nervously. "Austin-"
"Nope, you are taking this money and you are giving me your number." I say. She pouts. "You do realize your house is gone and your car is probably getting towed and yet you are giving me money." she crosses her arms. "Yup, but don't worry. I know how we can BOTH get some money." I grin. "How?" she asks. "First, give me your number." I smirk. She rolls her eyes. "Fine." she says and goes in her purse to find a paper and pen. Insert happy dance here.
