"I can't think of anything because you are not wearing your leather jacket." I said lamely "I can't exactly make fun of your naked torso."

His chuckle grew into a deep husky laugh as I realised that I pretty much complimented his god-like body. I covered my face with my hair to hide my visible sign of embarrassment.

There were no trees around so I could not exactly blame my blush on my allergies.

As the two lovebirds made their way out of the water and towards us, Stone spoke again "Let’s face one of your fears today."

I frowned "I don't think I'm ready to go in the water."

He shook his head once before suggesting "Go on the Ferris wheel with me."

"No way!" I blurted out "I am not going on that death trap!"

A few seconds passed before a smug half-smirk grew on his face. It was like he remembered something.

"If you go on then I will get you a stuffed panda." His deep voice promised.

This man knew how to work me.

I wondered why I chose to open up to him and why I felt so at ease while doing it.

"You have yourself a deal, Lurch." I said back to him with a smile.

The pier was busy by the time we arrived. The place was filled with kids running around.

It did not have the same feeling during the day. The neon lights were nowhere to be seen and the sun annoyingly shone in my eyes.

Brennan and Lana were walking hand in hand to the wheel. He did look at all nervous for what was coming next. I just hoped she would say yes to his relationship proposal, and it would not turn out awkward.

Stone and I followed behind as we made our way nearer to the Ferris wheel.

For the past twenty minutes, he had been constantly sending taunting looks my way. He was acting like I was going to fall off the wheel and plummet to my death.

When we stopped in front of the big terrifying ride, I stopped and faced him before blurting out "Stop looking at me like that. If there is one person that is falling off that death trap, it is you. That will be due to the fact that I have pushed you."

"I'm just surprised you are allowed on the ride, Medusa." He teased, his eyes remaining on me "I thought you be under the height restriction."

"There isn’t even a minimum height!" I exclaimed before glaring at him "You are so going to die by my hand in the next ten minutes."

The two others were already in the queue so when Stone and I followed on behind them, Lana turned around to face me as she gasped "You are going on?"

"Yes." I gritted out "Only because Lurch is forcing me."
