13- A day with Peter

"Whoa!! Slow down, Angel." Peter said while chuckling.

Guess where we are?! We're in an amusement park!!!!!!

Yeah, I know this sounds so cliché, but honestly, I don't go much in here because my parents don't have time and I don't feel like coming here alone. The last time I came here was 2 years ago with Cheska.

"We need to hurry up Peter!!" I said excitedly. I tugged his arm and I heard his chuckle. I don't care if he thinks I'm being childish, but what the hell!? I need to ride that roller coaster.

"Okay, okay, relax Angel." He said and we went to the booth to buy our tickets. I was about to pull out my money but he stopped me and he paid for it. I didn't try to argue because I knew I'd lose in the end, so I shrugged it off and just beamed at him. I noticed the ticket girl kept on flicking her eyelashes at Peter, trying hard to make him notice her, and that made me laugh. Sorry, I can't hold my laughter.

Then that made Peter and the ticket girl look at me like I was a weirdo. I just waved them off and after a few seconds, I finally stopped.

"Okay, what was that all about?" Peter suddenly asked, and we started to go to the line.

"Pfft. Nothing." I said, beaming.

"You're weird, you know that, right? And I noticed you became so happy when we arrived here." He said, looking at me curiously like he was waiting for my explanation.

"You're mean. I was just being happy, Is that bad?" I said, faking my saddened expression.

"No...no angel. I love it when I see that you're happy. Come on! I was just curious." He said and started to poke my cheek, which made me giggle and look at him smiling.

"Got you!" I said to him and he suddenly scratched the back of his head while smiling at me.

"Yeah... You got me." He said the way he said, it was like those words have a double meaning, but I shrugged it off. Maybe I was just thinking too much.

We gave our tickets to the operator and I picked the front seat.

This is going to be so much fun!!!

And for a couple of hours, I forgot Clark...

===========================

Where the hell are you?

That was a text I received 5 minutes ago from an unknown number. I didn't reply because who knows, maybe he was some kind of a serial killer, so I just put my phone back into my bag. Peter and I got to ride almost all the extreme rides here and he doesn't even complain. Instead, he was amused at me, telling me that if I were a normal girl I'd refuse to ride those extreme rides and pick the lame rides. Lucky for him, I'm not a normal girl.

"Here you go." Peter suddenly said and handed me my chocolate ice cream while he got a vanilla ice cream. I softly said thank you to him and he nodded in response. This is heaven. We started to eat our ice cream silently, just staring at the people in front of us and having fun.

Then I thought of him again...

Maybe he's still with Mitch now and I guess they're now banging each other...

Just thinking about it made my blood boil and I hate that I feel this way.

I don't give a damn about him... We just had a one-night stand before and that's nothing more.

"I want to play that one," I suddenly said. I need a distraction; I need to wash him away in my mind.

"Okay, but I got to play this one." He said, and we started to walk toward the shooting booth. It's when you need to shoot all three cans in front of you and when you hit them all you'll win a big teddy bear.

"Okay," I said while smiling.

"One please," Peter said to the guy with a huge beard, but he looked nice I guess. He smiled at Peter and me and gave Peter the 5 small balls.

In just a swift motion, Peter hit all the cans, making the man in front of us and I was stunned at what he did. Wow, that was fast. He knows how to hit/throw.

The man snapped back and smiled at us and gave Peter a big cute teddy bear, almost as tall as me.

"Here you go." He said and smirked at me.

"Thank you," I said, looking away. I didn't want him to see me blushing.

He suddenly held my chin up, which made me look him in the eyes. His gaze was piercing right through me, it was like he was looking at me deep inside.

"You look really cute when you blush," he said huskily.

Instead of feeling the butterflies inside my stomach like the other girl, I keep on describing when they're in this kind of situation... I didn't. I didn't feel like that with him. Instead, I felt awkward. Maybe because I don't look at Peter as a romantic partner, he's more like a brother to me. A guy friend.

I quickly looked away at Peter and he released his hand to my chin, which made it uncomfortable for me.

I cleared my throat and looked anywhere but him.

"Um..uh...Maybe we should go home, it's getting late." I said it was true because it was already 8 pm and Cheska didn't know where I was. I bet she's already worried sick about me.

"Um..okay, let's go" he softly said, and we walked towards the parking lot. He offered to carry the teddy bear and we headed to his car.

He places Pitchie (the name of the teddy bear) on the back seat and I enter the passenger side, then buckle my seatbelt. He went to the driver's side after a few seconds and then started the car and drove off...

=====================

The whole ride we stayed silent, no one dared to speak, so I turned on the radio, making the atmosphere less awkward. After a couple of minutes, he stopped in front of our apartment. I was about to head out to his car but he stopped me.

"Sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." He said sincerely.

I smiled at him and shook my head "No""It's okay, you don't need to apologize Peter. Let's just forget that part. Okay? Anyways, thank you so much for bringing me to the amusement park." I said, beaming.

"It's my pleasure, Angel," he said, now smiling.

Again, I was about to get out when he stopped me again... And this time I raised a brow at him confused.

"You forgot your teddy bear," he said, chuckling while scratching the back of his head.

"Oh right.." I said, giggling, and got out of the car, and went to the back seat to open the door, but he beat me to it.

"I'll carry him towards the door." He suddenly said and I stepped aside for him to get Pitchie inside the car.

"Go ahead, I'll follow behind." He said and I followed as I was told.

I walked to the door, got the key to my bag, and opened the door. He walked beside me and I turned towards him.

"Thank you again, Peter, it really means a lot. I had a great time." I said, smiling at him. He smiled back at me and gave Pitchie to me.

"Anything for you Angel, see you tomorrow." He said and then he suddenly came near me and kissed my forehead.

I was beyond shocked at what he did and before I could react he turned and walked away and got in his car, before he drove away he waved at me with a plastered smirk on his face.

You're really a nice guy, Peter.
