Just Another PA? |EDITING|

Chapter ten

I take my index, scoop some ice cream on it and plant it off his nose taking a picture of his shocked face.

"Let's take a nose ice cream picture," he suggests so I scout next to him and we snap a selfie. Everyone was looking at us as a weirdo but I didn't care. I was having the most fun I had had in a long time.

"That's a keeper," I say taking his phone and airdropping the photo to my phone.

"You're crazy," Massimo says shaking his head.

"Let's get crazier. Lick the ice cream off your nose with your tongue." I say and stick out my tongue.

"Nope. I have a reputation to uphold." Massimo says grinning.

"You? Reputation? Never!" I said giggling. Then I wiped the ice cream off my nose before it dried. "I think we can visit some other place. We have about an hour or two."

"Great," he says getting up signaling the waiter, paying him and walking with me to the car.

"Where to now?" I asked.

"Have you ever been to an amusement park?" he asked.

A big grin spread onto my face.

"Off to Drayton Manor Theme Park please." He said to the driver.

In less then thirty minutes we were there. There we so many people.

"First ride, Shockwave," Massimo says dragging me.

"Is that a roller coaster?" I asked but I got my answer. It was. "Wait."

I stopped and read the information on the ride.

" Originally called the '7up Shockwave', Shockwave is Europe's first Intamin stand-up roller coaster and is still only one of two in Europe. This exhilarating, white-knuckle ride opened in 1994 and is the only stand-up roller coaster with a zero-gravity roll. Shockwave was voted 'Best stand up roller coaster in the world,' and we're sure you'll agree once you've ridden this thrilling ride! Still a firm favorite with thrill-seekers visiting Drayton Manor Park, Shockwave reaches heart-racing speeds of 53mph and delivers up to 4 g. The ultimate ride for speed-demons and adrenaline junkies, Shockwave powers you through twisting corkscrews, loops and bends – so brace yourself and wait for the green light to experience the ride of your life!"

"Zero gravity. And you expect me to go there and actually do this. " I said.

"What's the harm?" He asked. "I've done this since I was tall enough to ride every year."

"But if something happens you have a lot of explaining to do," I said.

And as we waited in line I wondered if this was a good idea.

It's never late to turn back.

But as the line got shorter the more I tried to steady my already beating heart.

"Hey, it ok. We can just step out of line." Massimo said looking at me with a worried face.

"It's ok we have gotten this far," I said.

But I only wanted to change my mind when the seatbelt was clicked on.

My mind was screaming to come off but the roller coaster was already making its way up.

At the end of the ride, I felt like I had tasted my heart, literally. It was fun and exciting but I wouldn't want to repeat it.

"Wasn't that great?" Massimo said smiling. He resembled a little boy who's crush kissed him on the cheek.

"Yes, it was but not enough to repeat it," I said smiling.

"You were very brave out there." He said grinning.

I just elbowed him in the stomach grinning and went to find our next ride leaving him behind laughing.

"Let try Stormforce 10," I said looking at the short line.

"You are not backing out from this one," Massimo said and quickly climbed onto the boat. They had 17 boats with 8 people seated.

"What's the worse that can happen?" I said.

The ride supervisor came and started talking to us, "The journey begins with a drop that sends you into the heart of Stormforce 10. Hold on as you weather the storm and face another plunge, which you experience backward, before finally reaching the last peak, ready for the third stomach-churning drop. Enjoy the ride." Then he pushed the green button.

That's what Massimo meant.

"Are you ready?" He said.

"No! Is it too late to back out?" I feared.

"Yep! Here we GOOOOO!" He said as the boat dropped sending all passengers screaming.

So in the end, we were drenched, luckily it was a warm afternoon, however, I still crossed my hand over my chest cause my white shirt was now see-through and even though my white it still felt very inappropriate. But then I remember that I brought a scarf and a jersey so I wrapped them around my wet clothes.

"I think we should go home cause if I walk around wet like this I will surely fall sick," I said.

Massimo agreed cause he himself was wet from head to toe. His curly black hair just got curlier sitting like a bird's nest on top of his head.

The ride home was fun. We pulled funny faces, snapped selfies like normal people.

With Massimo, I was myself. I wasn't shouting at him and he didn't try to make me angry. He wasn't telling me what to do. We just clicked.

As I snuggled closer to him because it was getting colder. I think.....

But was love suppose to come that easy? Weren't there supposed to be some ups and downs?

But it's your first time to spend time with Massimo let's wait a bit.

I agreed with myself, who knew what the future holds. With that I allowed my eyes to shut.
