Love at First Touch
Chapter 6 - The Chase
"Two tickets, please," Shawn told the cashier at the ticket booth.
"That'll be $15."
"Here you go." Shawn handed the money to the cashier as she gave him the two tickets for the fair.
"Enjoy your time here!"
"I intend to," says Shawn as he gave his award-winning smile and gave Belle a glance.
Belle slipped her arm in Shawn's as they walked towards the gate of the park, where two men were waiting to collect the visitors' tickets. Shawn handed one of them the tickets and they proceeded to enter the fair.
It was definitely a land of enchantment. Belle looked around at the beautifully decorated park and faces filled with happiness. The multi- colored lights shined bright and the music blasted loudly through the speakers when passing each ride.
The Salem Fair was always a special event as it was an opportunity for all types of people to gather around and spend an enjoyable time with the people they love. From children to adults, friends to couples, there were so many different relationships all together in one place.
Belle looked over at Shawn and said, "So, what shall we do first?"
"How about bumper cars? It'll give me the opportunity to chase you for a little while," giggled Shawn.
"I'd like to see if you could catch me!" Belle exclaimed as she ran towards the entrance to the bumper cars and jumped into one of the vehicles. She pointed to him and called him towards her with a smirk on her face.
Shawn couldn't help but stand there and look at her. She was the most amazing sight he's ever seen. Her fun-loving attitude made him feel whole.
He realized he was staring and shook it off. Shawn ran towards the bumper cars and plopped himself into a vehicle on the opposite side facing her.
Belle mouthed, "Come and get me".
And when I catch you, I'm never going to let go, thought Shawn. He winked at her as a sign of acceptance to her challenge.
Their flirtatious behavior continued up to the moment that the bell sounded, signaling the beginning of the chase.
Belle took control of her car and made her way around the rink, where she decided to tease her date. She pulled up behind him, a few cars apart, and stepped on the accelerator. Shawn, still confused as to where Belle headed, suddenly was hit from behind. Not knowing it was Belle, he turned his back and yelled, "What the f. Oh."
"I thought you were going to catch me," yelled Belle back over the loud music, "Looks like I caught you."
"Tonight isn't over," replied Shawn.
The cars became powerless as the event was over. Shawn stepped out of his bumper car and walked over to Belle who was having a hard time removing the seat belt.
"Let me help you," said Shawn as he unlocked her belt and helped her get out of the bumper car.
Belle placed one foot out of the car and as she went to step out completely, she tripped over the side bumper and into Shawn's arms.
"Looks like I caught you!" laughed Shawn. There they stood, now alone since everyone already stepped out, in the middle of the rink and in each other's arms. Belle looked up at Shawn, only a few inches from his lips, and said, "I think they're waiting for us to get out of here." Shawn looked at the entrance and there was a line of folks waiting to get in.
"I think you're right," said Shawn, who was obviously caught in the moment.
Shawn assisted Belle in gathering her possessions and they headed towards the exit of the rink.
There was silence as they walked for a few minutes, as they felt a bit awkward from their close encounter.
The silence was disrupted as a clown jumped in their way and handed a flower to Belle.
"Awww. That's sweet. Thank you!" said Belle.
"And a flower for you," said the clown as he handed a flower to Shawn. As Shawn went to grab it, water sprayed into his face. "Ha! Tricked you!"
Belle and the clown giggled uncontrollably as poor Shawn was soaked. Shawn wasn't too thrilled and asked Belle if they could continue on.
"Ooooooo, the Ferris wheel!" screamed Belle. She always loved the Ferris wheel. The excitement of the height and the opportunity to get to know each other drew Shawn and Belle in.
"Let's go!" they both said.
They ran towards the ride and were escorted to one of the carts. They sat and waited for the ride to begin.
The ride began to move as they seated more passengers. "I'm glad you suggested this ride, Belle. It gives us a chance to talk..."
Belle had an impulse, an impulse to shut Shawn's sweet lips up!
She places her finger on his lips and says, "Shhh. no need to talk." She removed her finger and replaces it with her lips.
Shawn was stunned and taken by surprise. Belle was also taken by surprise, as she never had done such a thing in her life. She always let things happen on their own, but the impulse took over.
She placed her hand on his cheek as she delicately kissed his lips. She moved down to his bottom lip as gave it a final soft kiss before resting her head on his shoulder and enjoying the moment in his arms.
"Wow. That was. wow." Shawn said.
"Thanks for catching me," whispered Belle.
They both cuddled up in their seat, as they were headed higher and higher into the sky. They closed their eyes and embraced their moment together.
"No. Thank you," replied Shawn.
