Chapter 2 - Chomp!
As Theresa's eyes were uncovered and she began to focus on the scene before her she was amazed. The smell of cotton candy, hot dogs and donuts filled her nostrils as a sight of balloons filled the air. The sound of plenty rides and barn livestock made a lovely band and she could see the colorful booths dotting the sides. People gathered around pushing and pulling. "I can't believe it," she gasped, "I didn't know the carnival was in town." Her hand was grasped by a warm, cozy one and gently tugged towards the west. Her feet followed automatically and her eyes grew large. "Maybe you just weren't living then," a masculine voice shot back, "So I take it you like it!"
They stopped abruptly in front of the shelter. The red paint peeling back made it look rustic and kids ran through grooming and feeding full of smiles. The shade was cool on her back as they entered. "Want to hold him?" a small voice asked. She looked down and saw a small boy and his rabbit. Nick handed it up to her as he carried a conversation on with the kid. "It's a cute one isn't it?" Nick asked as he stood back up, "Am I that cute?" he wiggled his nose as he spoke. Theresa lightly handed the bunny back and joined hands with him again.
"You don't need to wiggle your nose to be cute," she pointed out when they were back in the sun. Both licked their lips as Nick moved closer. Their breath mingled as the inches grew to centimeters. "Really?" Nick asked in a seductive voice. His tongue ached to touch hers.
"Excuse me? You forgot this," the tiny bunny boy handed Theresa her wallet. "I can't believe you're actually a Crane, Will you give me an autograph?" the couple pulled back and starred down at the little boy. Nick leaned down and whispered something in his ear and signed a paper. From here he got the wallet handing it to Theresa. "Now where were we?" But by the time he was up Theresa was in the line getting cotton candy. 'Maybe later then,' he ached to feel how it would feel and touch her lips; 'I won't let it pass next time.'
As they left the line up Theresa spoke, "Where's yours?" she said pointing out he was carrying nothing. Nick laughed as he tucked his wallet in to his pocket. "I thought we would share," he went to grab it but she pulled it back. "I'm hungry!" she nodded as if making it final, "I won't share!"
Nick stopped her by placing his hand on her hip. He moved closer looking down at her batting eyes. She licked her lips readying herself. Last time she got stopped, this time she wasn't going to let it happen. The air grew thick as he drew closer and closer. Finally he took the first move.
Theresa stood with a small smile on her face. "Your such a jerk you know!" she looked at him with a mouth full of pink fuzz, fuzz that had come out of her cotton candy. "I hope you like it cause . . ." she stopped and turned running towards the rides, "You're going to have to catch me if you want more."
Nick stood amazed at how she could run in heels. 'It's going to be more special when it actually finally happens.' He ran to catch up with her.
The moon was out and the stars dotted the sky casting hidden reflections on the two faces. The ride was almost over and the place almost closed. It was time to go home to dream of what could have happened, what did happen and what will come in the future.
The phone suddenly rang pulling them out of their thoughts. "Are you going to get it?" She lay with her head on his shoulder wishing it would never end. 'I never have felt like this before, no problems, just fun and . . .' she didn't want to say the word. Every time she was in love it never worked out, someone lied, someone scammed, or someone got burned in the embers of past lives or through new flames.
"No," he turned it off and sat with the new feeling he had. 'I never have felt like this before. I must be catching a cold or something.' He ran his free hand through his hair and closed his eyes. 'It's not like I . . .' he trailed his thoughts off, he couldn't even say the L word.
