Charlotte bought me cotton candy and a bag of kettle corn.

There's no better way to a girls heart than buying her food.

She also won me a giant stuffed bear since my broken arm prevents me from doing certain tasks.

"We should go on the Ferris wheel" I say when my eyes spot the giant lighted wheel

"Um, c-can you pick something else. Preferably something closer to the ground" she stutters

I turn to face her and I'm met with her nervously biting her bottom lip as she stares at the Ferris wheel.

Is she scared?

"Don't tell me that you're scared," I say teasingly with a smirk

"Because I may just have to hold this over you every time you tease me" I finish

"I'm not afraid of heights, little one, and I can prove it" she says before she walks towards the Ferris wheel

"I'm only four inches shorter than you, Charlotte" I groan out as I trudge after her


"Okay, so I may have a little fear of heights" Charlotte squeaks out as our seat stops at the top of the Ferris wheel

"You don't say" I sarcastically retort as I show her the claw marks on my forearm, that she caused.

"This isn't funny, Aspen" she says

"Okay, there's nothing to be afraid of," I say when she jumps at the sound of fireworks

"There's many reasons to be scared" she says in a panicked tone

I grab Charlotte's hand and interlock our fingers together which causes her to look down at our hands with an appreciative expression.

"Everything is going to be fine" I say to her with a smile on my face

"Yeah, maybe you're- Nope I can't do this" she says as the Ferris wheel starts to move again

"Just look into my eyes, it'll be over before you know it" I say as I caress the side of her face

She looks up so that I'm now looking into her bright green eyes.

The same eyes that give 

"Are we there yet?" I ask for the hundredth time

"No" Charlotte responds for the hundredth time

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"Yes"

"Are we- wait really?!" I ask as I sit up in my seat only to be blinded by bright lights

My eyes quickly dart around the area which brings a smile to my face.

"You brought me to the carnival" I say as I turn to face Charlotte whose already looking at me

"I remember you saying how you haven't been in years, so I decided to change that" she says

"Thank you, I appreciate it" I say before I lean in and give her a gentle peck on the lips

I think I surprised her since it took her a moment to kiss me back.

I pull away and flash her a bright smile.

"Lets go before the lines get long" I say before unbuckling my seatbelt and climbing out of the car.
