Our Second Date
So apparently Jason had school off that day and college classes had been canceled. So our second date was at Knott's Berry Farm. He borrowed his dad's Camaro for this date. It was a beautiful sleek 76 with a red paint job and a racing stripe. I hade a feeling Jason liked fast things. When we get to Knott's we get our tickets and enter the theme park. The first ride he wants to go on is Silver Bullet. I look up at it then back down at him. I brace myself for a day of thrills. By lunch time we had hit Silver Bullet, Montezuma's Revenge, and Boomerang. When we sit to eat I almost think I can't but I try. It actually made things better.
I take a drink from my coke and ask, "Are you having fun?" he looks up at me wide eyed like a kid at Christmas. "Yep! This is so much fun!" he says excitedly. "I'm guessing this is your first time here?" I ask. "Yes. How could you tell?" he asks. "Oh, nothing much, just that you look cutely like a kid at Christmas," I say and he blushes a we wrap up lunch walk around a little then hit Accelerator then Ghost Rider. Towards the end we go on bumper cars and play the carnival games. He couldn't win a single game but I step up and smoke a few and win him a few grand prizes. He stares at me in amazement.
"How do you do that?" he asks. "Pure skill and a little luck," I say then smile. Once we clean out the carnival stalls we start to head home. He takes me back to his place today. We were just about to end the day the same way. We stumble through the door. "Well, hello." Jason had me in a dipping positions and looks up to see his sister with work out clothes and a towel. "Uh…" he says and accidentally drops me. "Ow. Crap," I say as I get up and brush myself off. "Um… I'm Gus," I say. "Oh, I know who you are. Jason won't shut up about you," she says. I look over at Jason and he's blushing. "Nice to finally meet the guy my brother has fallen head over heels for. I'm Thalia," Thalia says, "Anyway I just got done with my work out and I have homework to do. Try not to make too much noise."
She looks at us and winks. Then she heads up the stairs. "Wow. What a way to kill the mood," Jason says, "Come on. Let me give you a tour." He shows me around the house. The dining room is fantastic. He has a pool out back. They even have a piano which Jason knows how to play. "Can you play something for me?" I ask. He sits and I sit next to him. He opens up the keys and starts on Fleur De Lis. He plays the whole song and I sit there mesmerized. When he's done I clap my hands and he turns to kiss me. He leads us upstairs and his room has a tower with a small staircase and a small room with a window.
He has a bunch of drawings from his childhood and pictures of his friends and family. There's one of him as a young boy with Thalia and two adults I guessed were his parents. "Are these your parents?" I ask. "Yeah," he says, "I don't really remember my mom but my dad though… you could never forget a man named after a god. His parents named him Zeus, weird I know, but that's his name." He looked at the picture sadly. I put my hand on his and say, "I think I'm falling in love with you." He looks up at me and says, "I think I'm falling in love with you too." I lean in him. He kisses back and drops the picture. In a minute we are on each other all over again. In the morning he drives me home and I ask him to call me during the week. I get out of car after I kiss him good bye. Then I head up the stairs.
