Chapter 11: #3, #4 on Daniella's List

John Williams

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Two tickets to the ferris wheel please."

The lady gave me the tickets and I tossed a few bills on her table.

I gazed at Daniella, who is looking at the very big ferris wheel with awe.

"Shall we?" I said reaching out my arm for her to hold.

She looked at me with confusion in her eyes but I guess she decided to hold my arm anyways.

We went in one of the box like thingies and shut it close.

She went towards the corner near the window and watched the scenery.

"It's beautiful." I turned to John and he smiled.

I turned away blushing, he is really making my heart melt.

I felt something hard on my back and I didn't dare turn around.

I can feel his heat surrounding me and I knew it was John.

I leaned on his chest to rest and he said,

"It's time!"

"What?" I asked curiously,

He didn't answer and just stared at the view.

Suddenly, I see fireworks in different shapes, sizes and colors! There's this big shimmery swirly firework that is so cute!

When we reached the pinnacle of the ferris wheel there was a huge explosion of fireworks in the shape of a heart.

"Wow.. this is so pretty. Thanks John." I smiled at him.

The next thing I know, his arms are around me and squeezing me tightly.

This is not good.

I hugged her.

It doesn't mean I love her.

My body just reacted to the situation.

I blushed and I couldn't help it.

She stared at me and I broke the ice,

"Ah.. a boyfriend's got to do this in this kind of sweet scene, right? I mean it's nothing. It's only because you bought me and nothing else."

Luckily, she bought it.

After the ride, my arms are still around her and she told me to let go.

I don't know why I felt pain in my chest.

Is it because of rejection? Her not accepting my heartfelt acting?

I asked her if there's anything she wanted to do before leaving but she shook her head and I take it as a 'No';

She started her car with her limo she calls "33" because that's her 33th limo.

She didn't speak to me at all.

If that's because I hugged her then I won't do it again.

Girls are so hard to read, you don't know what they want at all.

Whatever, if she wants this deal to be over, so do I.

I don't know why I am this mad but I am.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went back to my room pretty much exhausted.

Today is a really fun day, John did a lot of surprises for me today.

I appreciate all of it and the fun things we did today replaying in my mind made me smile but.. that hug.

The hug just made me feel ecstasy that I need to avoid him knowing he can never be mine.

Yes, he makes my heart flutter like it couldn't ask for anything more but there's another girl owning his heart, and it's not me.

My stomach growled and I realized I haven't eaten dinner yet.

Since I'm too lazy to cook, I just microwaved some frozen food for dinner.

John must be in his room right now.

He must really hate me now for having such unreasonable mood swings.

I'm sorry John, but it's not what you think it is.

I just have to stop myself in falling inlove.. with you.
