Chapter 24

OOO

Mary-Lynnette

I readied my foot, wanting to kick him in the shin. However, his reflexes were too fast, instead of colliding with his shin, my foot hit the air.

"Opps, you missed." Ash taunted, jutting out the tip of his tongue at me, "And again." He added when I missed it for the second time.

What got into him? Ash was a completely different person comparing to the latter. Seriously, was he bipolar or something?

His fluffed my hair, making my messy hair even a bigger mess. "You are so adorable when you are mad." He grinned while he headed to the door.

"You…"

"I can do this all night." He winked at me and ran outside through the exit, still in his vampire costume. Ash Redfern winked. HE WINKED AT ME.

UGH, he is so going to be dead when I catch him, I spoke in my head.

I shook my head and raced after him.

The night was cool. A gush of cool air blasted against my face, sending my hair flying everywhere. I bunched it all up in my hands and tied it up. While I was doing said action, my eyes were scanning my surroundings. I was still in my costume with make up, and so was Ash. The 'bloodstains' were still on his shirt but he wiped off the make up on his face.

Most of the rides were closed, except for the Ferris wheel and a few more.

My eyes landed on a certain ash blonde who was amongst the audience at the stage for the closing ceremony. He waved at me and disappeared into the crowd.

Mentally groaning to myself, I wondered, why was I even playing such childish games with him? I myself wasn't too sure. All I knew was that I want to go home since I was dead tired. The bad news, Ash was the one with the car keys.

Mary-Lynnette, you can do this.

I pushed and squeezed into the huge crowd. At that moment, I realized that it would be impossible to find him in here.

Suddenly, two hands gripped my shoulders, as I feel a body crept up behind me.

"Boo." Ash whispered into my left ear. I could almost hear his smile in it.

Holding up my left hand, not even looking, I pushed his head away from my ear. I turned around and rolled my eyes at him. My hand instantly formed a fist and positioned myself, readied to take revenge.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Ash tsked at me, wiggling his right forefinger at me. Then he gripped my wrists, pinning them to my side.

"Let me go." I complained tiredly; try to break free but no avail.

Ash gave it a thought. "Go on the Ferris Wheel with me." Ash said his tone commanding, somehow yet soft.

"No, I am really tired," I replied with defeat, "Can we just go home now?"

Ash cocked his head to his left, "Come on, once that's all."

"NO." My tone was firm.

Ash chuckled, his deep brown eyes peering through his curtain of blond hair.

Without knowing what was going to happen next, his action took me off guard. Ash decided to do things his own way. He picked me up effortlessly by the waist and slung my body onto his right shoulder. My legs were swinging in the front, while my face stared at the back of his pants.

"ASH," I screamed. "What in the world are you doing?"

Ash replied with an innocent tone, "Going for a ride in the Ferris Wheel of course."

"Ugh, I give up." I grumbled, not even putting up a fight. "Let us just get this over with."

"Good girl."

I glared at his ass, shooting daggers at it. Well, Mary-Lynnette was not a pervert. It was just directly right in front my face. Then again, he had a nice butt. Gosh, what am I saying?

When I get tired, I seemed to think and say weird things.

Distracting myself, I peeled my eyes away from his-you-know and turned my head to my right. Ash's dad was speaking on the stage, while his mom was by his side. She has been noticing us and she winked.

I felt my cheeks heating up from embarrassment. So, to save that little amount of dignity I have left, I looked to my other side.

A tiny vintage pastel pink stand caught my eye. I poked Ash in his waist with my finger repeatedly, trying to get his attention. He didn't seem to notice my repeated actions, or maybe he was just ignoring me, but he had no reaction. So I pinched him instead.

"Oww woman, why are you so violent?" His head twisted to the side, slightly back wards, and our eyes met.

"Before we go to the Ferris wheel, take me there." I pointed at the stand.

Ash's eyes followed the direction of my finger. He raised his eyebrows and his eyes widen. "You want cotton candy?" he asked, with an as-if-he-couldn't-believe-it-tone.

"Yup, and the pink one please."

His eyes flashed to the stand, then back to me. The process repeated for a few times. Finally, Ash huffed, "Fine."

I did a happy dance in my head.

We were at the stand, when Ash said, "My hands are full so would you mind pulling out money from my wallet?

It was a simple task, really.

However, why do I find myself hesitating? The hard part was because his wallet was in his back pocket. That means…ugh you know what I mean.

You can do this Mary-Lynnette; DO for the glorious pink cotton candy!

As I was pulling it out, I was absolutely certain that Ash was snickering. That idiot…Wait till he let me down, first thing that I would be doing is to kick his shin.

-:-:-:-

We queued up at the Ferris wheel line; however the moron still wouldn't put me down. Though, to make it easier for me to eat my cotton candy without squashing it between my face and his butt, Ash made a slight change… He carried me bridal style. It was pretty cliché if you asked me, not that I was complaining. I have my cotton candy and also I was sick of walking and standing in these heels.

Both my hands were full. In my right, I held my pink one. In my left, I held his blue one. As I continue to stare at the blue one, the temptation of taking a bite became stronger. I wondered if it tasted different.

Ash must have been aware of my longing stare at his cotton candy. A smirk crept up to his lips.

"Can you hold up mine for me?" His eyes filtered to the blue one then to mine. He made a biting gesture by clanking his two rows of teeth.

"No." My answer was swift and firm, as it would require me feeding him.

He flashed a smile, "Pretty please?"

I repeated my answer.

"You can have a bite later." Ash sang, eyes gleaming.

"You are such a kid you know that?" I rolled my blue eyes and held the cotton candy up for him. In my head, I secretly wished that Ash would embarrass himself by having the candy stuck on certain parts of his face.

But no, the guy made eating cotton candy manly… seriously?

Ash licked his lips to get rid tuffs of the candy that were stuck in the corner of his lips.

I didn't want to seem too creepy by staring at him too long so I looked around instead.

For Pete sake –whoever Pete is—when is it our turn? I thought.

At last, Ash and I got into a basket thingy together. It was small; enough to fit two and the seats faced each other. Behind the seats, on each side, there was a mirror.

Ash placed me down on one seat, while I muttered thanks. Unfortunately, my plan of kicking him will not work out as it was too small for that movement.

Oh well, I comforted myself. At least I'll get to get a bite from his blue cotton candy.

Holding it near my lips, I opened my mouth to bite it-

The cotton candy was shoved lightly into my face.

I breathe in heavily, "ASH REDFERN!" I screamed angrily and saw my reflection in the mirror behind him. He got blue cotton candy all over my mouth, right cheek and the tip of my nose. I looked absolutely ridiculous.

Ash chuckled at my appearance, stuffing some blue cotton candy into his mouth.

That's it, Mary-Lynnette never back down from a fight. I grabbed a fistful of pink cotton candy and smeared it all over his face, including his forehead as well. I even got chunks of it in his hair. Most of it was around his lower face though. He looked like as if he had pink fluffy five 'O clock shadow.

OOO

Ash Redfern

As I handed her the blue cotton candy of mine, I couldn't help but to smile. Her face was just full of pure innocence and joy. I had never seen her like this. I couldn't seem to tear my eyes off her.

She held the candy close to her face and took a sniff. While she did that, her eyelids fluttered close and a smile crept on her lips. When her eyes opened, she took a breath. She readied herself and opened her mouth…

And I just pushed it against her face within a short second. I had no idea of the reason of my actions.

And when she got mad, it was too cute.

My actions were responded with her attack on my hair and face.

She started giggling and laughing, pointing out that I had a pink five 'o clock shadow.

That was the time when the fireworks exploded. We were almost at the peak.

As I got closer to her face, a feeling ran through my veins and I felt a squeeze on my heart.

Shit, I love her.

OOO

Mary-Lynnette

Ash face changed from shock into anger. He half stood, leaning towards me, with a predator look in his eyes. He hovered above me as I felt myself sinking back down into the chair.

The sound of fireworks continued to rang around us, but none of us cared. I was distracted by him.

"Okay, I'm sorry." I apologized sincerely. I peered into his deep onyx eyes, looking for an answer. But they were unreadable.

The next thing I knew, he had his lips pressed tightly against mine. Shocked at first, my eyes were bulging and I could not react. His lips were hard and urgent at first, but as he progressed, his lips became slower and softer. My eyes fluttered shut and I found my lips moving against his.

The flavors of the blue cotton candy and the pink one melted and mixed together, his left hand warm on my left cheek; but his right one cold on my right cheek.

We stopped after that, however I could feel his breath. When I allowed my eyelids to open, I saw his eyes and pink haze surrounded us.

The kiss felt like a million years, but in reality, it was probably only less than a minute.

I stared at him blankly, and he still had pink cotton candy on his face.

Surrounding his lips, where mine touched, however was a different color, a mixture of both.

We made purple.

A/N: asdfghjkl; SO HOW WAS IT? :D hehehehhehe, finally some Ash and Mare action. ;D
