“What? No, what do you take me for?”
“No, I didn’t mean anything by it. I haven’t either. I just thought I’d ask.”
“I don’t even ride Ferris wheels.”
“It’ll be great, come on.”
He took my hand and pulled me forward. I pulled back. It was a game of tug-o-war and I was destined to lose.
I threw myself against him, hugging him tight, and like longtime lovers I nestled my head against his chest.
“Remember earlier in the night?”
“Umm, yeah, I remember lots about it,” he said.
“Remember that part when you were really sweet?”
“Umm, yeah, I guess. What part?”
I backed away and started slapping him on his hands and chest like a pissed off girlfriend who’d found him cheating.
“You said you wouldn’t make me do anything that I wasn’t comfortable with and this makes me un-fucking-comfortable, Braden. I don’t wanna do it.”
He pulled me in, laughing, my punches not fazing him at all.
“Calm down,” he said. “We don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”
“Good.”
He hugged me tightly to his chest.
“But I’m telling you, if I take you back to a hotel room, or back to your place, we’ll have sex.”
“Make love?”
“Sure. We’ll be together and it’ll be great.”
He pointed up at the Ferris wheel.
“But I promise you it will be nothing like what we will experience at that height.”
I wanted to uppercut him. I wanted to kick him in the balls for what he was making me do. I was going to do it. Why? Because I hated backing down and I knew no matter what this would be a night I’d remember for the rest of my life.
“Fine, asshole,” I said as I shoved past him and made my way towards the Ferris wheel.
“But baby,” he called after me in a singsong voice, making fun of me.
I got in line behind the only other couple. Braden moved in behind me and put his chin on my shoulder.
“You’re so hot when you’re mad.”
“Just wait till we get up there,” I said.
He laughed.
The couple in front of us got on the ride. The attendant looked at us and smirked. He knew what was up. He’d probably been doing this for years and knew that any couple waiting till just before closing to get on the Ferris Wheel was looking to join the mile high club.
He confirmed my suspicion by waiting for several empty carts to pass before letting it stop. He was giving us privacy.
