Chapter 16 Kisses and Skittles
After they got off the Beast Parker turned to Aderyn, "So you said that you wanted to ride the Best twice right?"
"Yeah if that is okay with everyone."
"No, it not, you have been so demanding today, making us do all these things that we don't want to do." Trey said sarcastically with a smile plastered on his face, "This is my favorite ride so I don't mind riding again, I am completely okay with it."
"Same here." Brett and Ema agreed.
"Here we go again!" They all walk back into the line and Parker turned to Aderyn. "So do you mind if I ask why you want to ride the Beast twice?"
"I figured someone would ask… awhile before my mom died we all came here and my mom told me this was her favorite ride and she always rode it twice, and it was the first ride that I ever rode, and we rode it twice."
"That sounds really nice," Parker could see that she is a little upset. "The Beast used to be my favorite ride too… but now I think it would have to be the Phantom Theater." He had a sly smile on his face.
Aderyn laughed, "Really, why's that?"
"I can show you if you'd like?" He leaned in close to her and wraps his arms around her waist pressing his body up against hers.
"Hey Parker!" Trey called back to them, Parker froze just as their lips were about to meet again, Parker let out a sigh just as Brett smacked Trey in the back of the head. "Ow! My bad, never mind! Go back to whatever it was that you were doing!"
Parker closed his eyes for a second, breathing hard, "I am going to kill him!" He muttered, his body still pressed up against hers. Aderyn just laughed at him. "Oh you want to start with me do you?" He asked with a smile, his hands were still on her waist and he started to tickle her.
She started laughing immediately, "Parker!" More laughing as she is trying to get his hands away from her stomach, "Please!" She could barley talk she was laughing so hard, she tried to push his hands away, "Oh my God!" She kept trying, but to no avail.
"Do you want me to stop?" He asked, still tickling her.
"Please!" She could barley get it out, Parker stopped but kept his hands at her waist.
"You done laughing at me?"
"Maybe?" He squeezed her sides again, Okay I'm done!" She yelped as she put her hands on his forearms.
"Promise?"
"Yes, I promise," her cheeks were flushed slightly.
"Okay good, I wouldn't want you to embarrass yourself by laughing so loud again." He smiled at her, "I thought it was cute though." Parker shit a glance at Trey to make sure that they would not be interrupted again, "I believe that before we were so rudely interrupted that I was going to show you why Phantom Theater is now my favorite ride."
"Yeah, something like that." Aderyn smiled and moved her hands up his arms to wrap them around his neck. Parker leaned in slowly and their lips met again. The line moves forward but they did not notice as their kiss became deeper, and someone behind them cleared their throat. Parker steps forward slightly so that Aderyn is pressed to the rail that separated the lines, someone behind them cleared their throat again and they pulled apart reluctantly.
Parker mumbled "Sorry," as they shuffled forward to close the gap in the line, and catch up with their friends.
Aderyn leaned in a whispered in Parkers ear. "I can kind of see why that would make it your favorite ride."
"Oh, you have no idea." He whispered back with a sly smile. He was about to add something when Brett yelled back to them.
"Hey guys do we want to go to the front this time, or to the back again?"
"Hell lets go to the front, why not? The line is not that much longer." Parker suggested and there was a murmur of agreement from everyone else and they moved to the line for the front of the train. "So I know this sounds bad, but we have never really talked about, well anything really, the only thing that we have really talked about is Chemistry and Prom. So… what kind of music do you like?" Parker asked Aderyn after the line switch.
"Wow, I like all kinds of music, in all honesty the only type of music I don't like is rap. You?"
"I am pretty much the same, although the 'Tibetan Through Singers' are on the list of 'no's'."
Aderyn looked confused, "I'll have to get rid of it then, damn you, it is my favorite after all."
Parker laughed, "So favorite band?"
"Do I have to pick one?"
"No, I guess not, favorite bands?"
"Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Fall Out Boy, James Blunt, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Avenged Sevenfold, Panic! At the Disco, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rooney, Three Days Grace. That is not all but for the most part that is my list."
"Wow, I like how Avenged Sevenfold and Carrie Underwood are on the same list! But I noticed that there is one band missing, the Sick Puppies, have you ever heard of them?"
"I don't think so."
"They are amazing! I have them on my iPod, we can listen to them on the way home if you'd like."
"Sounds like a plan." She smiled at him, "What kind of music do they do?"
"They are a rock/alternative band. They are pretty much amazing." They were getting close to their time to ride.
"I am really glad you asked me out, I am really having a good time. Thank you." Aderyn said to Parker.
"No need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you for saying yes." Parker responded.
"In all reality we should all be thanking God that Parker finally grew a pair and asked you out!" Brett said to them both. "No, but really, we all like you, and we are glad that Parker finally has someone who deserves him, maybe a little to much, but hey I guess that is your call." He winked at Aderyn, and then stepped onto the train with Ema and pulled the lap belt down on himself.
Aderyn stood still for a moment then turned to Parker who was already sitting down, "I think your best friend just told me that I am too good for you."
Parker threw his head back in a laugh, "Yeah, be glad they told you that instead of what they told Candi," He told her as she slid into the spot next to him.
"What did they tell her?"
Parker looked at her for a second and smiled, "Well, they told her she was a two-bit tramp who needs a HIV vaccine."
Aderyn put her hand over her mouth as she laughed, "That is horrible! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Aderyn screamed as they dropped down the hill.
When they pulled back into the loading station and stopped behind another train Parker is laughing at her, "I have never heard anyone make a sound like you just did! That was amazing!" He kept laughing.
"Leave me alone, we were talking and I didn't realize that we were at the top of the hill okay?!"
The train was moving in so that they can get off when they hear a shout of , "Oh my GOD! Skittles!" From a group of girls standing in line.
"No Way!" Aderyn jumped up from her seat once the train had pulled through and stopped. She ran to the back of the train and was talking with the girls that yelled at her. "I'll wait for you guys so we can talk once you get off!" Once Parker catches up with her they walked down the ramp so the train can pull away. "Hey do you mind if we wait for them to get back? I haven't seen them in forever!"
"Yeah, that's fine, did they call you Skittles?" Parker asked as he grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
Aderyn laughed, she had a huge smile plastered on her face, "Yeah, they did. I worked at a Girl Scout Camp for the past two summers, and my camp name is Skittles."
"So those were some of the girls that you worked with I assume?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen my little sister in so long!"
"Wait, I though you were an only child?" Parker asked, really confused.
"Yeah I am. One of the other PAs last name is Sanders, and we get alone really well, and I am really protective of her. She is like a little sister to me."
"Oh, I get it now, so not really your sister. I though I had failed the test or something." Aderyn laughed at him, the smile still on her face when four girls ran down the ramp and almost tackled Aderyn in a group hug.
They were all talking a million miles a minute and Parker could not really follow the conversation. Aderyn turned to him and introduced him to the girls. "Parker this is T.J., Fro, Doyle and Rosie. Guys this is Parker, my…" Aderyn paused.
"Boyfriend." Parker finished for her with a smile.
"Awww, our little Skittles has a special friend!" The girl introduced as Doyle commentated.
"D. don't embarrass my sister now!" Fro said.
"Okay, so what is with the camp names? Where do you come up with them?" Parker asked the girls.
"Well T.J. is short for Toe Jam, I got that name from our camp director, I didn't have a name when I went for interviews so he told me if I didn't come up with one by training that he would call me Toe Jam. The name I came up with sucked, so I went with it." T.J. laughed.
"I am Doyle, I got it from a movie that I watched forever ago, it is from the 90's, Bio-Dome, it is so stupid it's funny, and that is one of the main characters."
"Fro, is short for Fro-lick, I wanted my name to be Frolic, but I put a 'k' on the end because I thought it looked better, and they started calling me Fro-lick and it was shorted to Fro."
"Okay, but I think that I can get your name. Your cheeks are really red, am I right?" Parker asked with a flash of his charm smile.
"Yeah! It is so easy to tell! Everyone gets it!" She laughed.
"So Doyle I see that you have a daisy on your toe!" Aderyn smiled looking at the girls' foot.
"Yep! It is not real it does not grow!" The entire group of girls started laughing while Parker just looked at them all with raised eyebrows.
"I see that you don't have yours, what's up with that?" Rosie asked with a smile.
"My 18th birthday isn't for another month, but I will have it then, you want to come with me when I get it Fro?" Aderyn asked with a smile.
"Ch'ya!" Aderyns' 'sister' smiled and threw her arms around her.
"It was so good to see you guys, but we have to leave so we can get back to is house for dinner." Aderyn said giving hugs and saying good-byes all around.
Parker smiled at everyone, "It was nice to meet you!" Aderyn walked up to him and took his hand, and he leaned down and kissed her temple, and whispered in her ear, "so where did your camp name come from?"
"I couldn't think of anything and I was eating Skittles one day and then bam! It hit me I could be Skittles! And that is my lame story." They meet the others at the car, and they all slid in and head for home talking about their day with big smiles.
