A piece of heaven...

"You're. Kidding. Me." I said wide eyed, my eyes might run out of their sockets. I can't believe what I'm seeing.
"Close your mouth babe, you're already drooling." he chuckled while I wiped the imaginary saliva and wiped it on his face still not breaking an eye contact to a heaven like place I saw, its lively music making me feel all giddy.
"Yuck." he joked and laughed. He bent his head down to level it to mine. "So, are we just going to stand here and drool? Or go in and take all the rides?" I faced him and he keeps on waggling his brow at me.
I jump in glee. "I love you." hug him tight and briefly kissed him on the lips. He brought me in a Carnival and it's a dream come true for me since I haven't had gone to a Carnival before.
I ran towards the entrance of the Carnival but abruptly stop, for I didn't feel him following beside me. I looked back and found him frozen to where he's standing, touching his lips—particularly, to the part I had just kissed—wide eyed like a teenager, who had just experienced his very first kiss and now it's my turn to return his words back at him.
"So, are we just going to stand here and drool? Or go in and take all the rides?" that made him snapped back to reality and ran up towards me.
"I'll surprise you everyday so that you can give me a kiss and hear you say that you love me." he gave me a seductive smile and held my hand. "Hold on tight, I might lose you." he whispered and we entered the Carnival.

The Carnival was crowded, as if people were gathered for a certain festivity. I was astounded as I entered the very lively Carnival, the aroma of cotton candy and popcorn filling the air that I could even taste it, the colorful concession stand near us and the colossal Ferris Wheel can be seen in the distance.
"So, ready to drain some energy?" he grinned hyping me up.
"Of course!" I responded as I jumped up and down excitedly and full of glee like a child in front of a chocolate store. "Let's ride that Red Apple." I pointed excitedly at what looks like a half eaten apple.
We, actually I decided that we first ride in the Apple Ride. I got mesmerized because of how yummy the ride looks that I want to take a bite at it. I can't suppress my excitement as we got seated in the ride. After a minute later, the ride moved and my excitement was later on filled with nausea. Ugh, the ride was spinning slowly then faster as we bobbed up and down the air. Holy macaroni!!
"Whoo-hoo, you need to shout Aphrodite." he shouted in delight while I shouted in horror. Big difference, I must say... When the ride stops, I immediately got out and throw up.
"Want a break?" he said while patting my back. I shook my head. I stopped vomiting and he wiped the sides of my mouth with his hanky.
"Thank you." feeling a little better. I glance for other rides while he brought me a water bottle to drink and the next ride that caught my attention was a tower ride. "Let's ride that." I pointed excitedly as he returned with the water.
"Oh, the Super Shot Drop Tower." he glanced up the tall ride and abruptly looked at me. "But you might throw up again and it'll be too much risky for you." he said sternly at the same time worried.
"I promise, I won't. So please let's go ride it." I pleaded all acting cute.
"What if you would?" his voice firm as he folded his arms.
"I won't." I said with overflowing confidence.
"If you would, I'll punish you." I nod and he then grabs me towards the not so long line lining to go try the extreme ride. Waiting for our turn, he briefed me about the ride that the passengers will be gently lifted up the 90-foot tower then once they reaches the top, it will then be released in an accelerated freefall. Upon hearing that, I wanted to back out but it's unfortunately our turn. Okay, need to overcome my fear of heights and try not to throw up in the process.
We rode the ride with him shouting putting his hands up while I closed my eyes gripping the safety straps of my seat praying they won’t break or something and as expected, in the end I did vomited. I hurled helplessly at the side walk earning stares from the bystander around us.
Christian keeps on scolding and ranting that I'm such a hard headed person all the while assisting me as he hold my hair back away from my face caressing my back while I keep on throwing up and crying. During the ride, I could really feel that my soul left my body and my body was turned all topsy-turvy that I somehow felt my brain exchange places with my heart and my small intestines devour my large ones, my whole body turning numb due to fear. I felt such a wreck that I can't even recall if I'm breathing or not.
"I needed a break." I said sniffling. He sighed and held me up, again wiping my mouth with his hanky.
"That's a good idea." he led me to an area where different food vendor stalls were placed. I can see beverages, yummy burgers, fries, junk foods, cotton candies, popcorns but the stall that really caught my eyes is the stall full of different kinds of chocolates. Woah, I just saw a piece of heaven within this heavenly place.
He paid for all the chocolates I wanted and bought two Coke cans and burger for us. I insisted that he shouldn't have bought a burger for me but he argued reasoning that I need to eat some food since I threw up twice earlier. So in the end, he won and I obediently ate my burger.
