Chapter-10 Invading his privacy
VICTORIA'S POV
Reaching the Carnival the first thing that I noticed was the large Ferris wheel and the huge roller
coaster, making everyone scream in fear, wanting to ride it already.
"Let's go beautiful," Alexander said opening my door like a chivalrous man.
'Huh? When did he even leave the car?'
"Looks like chivalry isn't dead yet." I laughed along with him before exiting the car.
"Of course, my lady." He replied laughing along.
Closing the car door behind me, he placed his hand at my back, just above my waist, leading me
towards the entrance of the carnival, making pleasurable tingles run down my body.
"Uhh..can you not place your hand on my back like that? It's uncomfortable" I shyly said, while walking.
"I am sorry, I made you felt uncomfortable, it's just-" I had to cut him off in the middle, to not create any
misunderstanding and prevent him from feeling guilty.
"No, It's just, I am a bit ticklish there," I said laughing awkwardly to hide my embarrassment.
Hearing my response, he immediately stopped in his track also, stopping his trail of thoughts, and
before I could even react, he pulled me by my waist to his side. I knew, telling him was a mistake.
I tried to wiggle out from his hold, however, seeing my defensive movements, he started running his
fingers along my back, smoothly making me laugh involuntarily.
"Hahaha...stop. Look, haha, it's not funny. People are looking, Hahahaha, at us." I said between my
laughter.
"Looks like someone is already having fun, without us." I heard Daniel's voice from behind me, which
made me ran towards him.
Hiding behind Daniel's back, I took deep breaths, to calm my nerves, my heart racing from all his
touching and tickling.
"You are soo mean Alexander." I puffed my cheeks in annoyance before holding Daniel's hand and
entering the Carnival.
Throwing one last look at Alexander, I don't know if it was just one of my hallucinations, but his eyes
were fixated on my intertwined hands with Daniel and I think, I saw his eyes glowing a bit hazelnut
color before his color changed back to that amber brown.
Thinking that it was just because of the reflection from the sun, I shrugged my shoulders before pulling
Daniel to a candy shop.
"What? Don't tell me you're gonna buy some candies now." Daniel said looking adorably at me.
"So what? You don't need to be a kid to eat candies, plus, your heart is always a kid." I reasoned
before buying cotton candy.
"Huh...okay. Now if your heart is satisfied and your mind has cooled down, let's go back to our friends
and ride those rollercoasters together. Okay?" Daniel asked, to which I nodded my head in agreement.
Reaching back to where the group was standing in a line, to ride a small-scale rollercoaster, I stood
with Daniel in the back to avoid Alexander who was standing in front. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
As if he sensed our presence, he immediately turned back once we stood there, giving me a
complicated look.
"This rollercoaster is the smallest one with the least turns, don't you think it will be boring?" I asked no
one in particular.
"I know, but according to Aiden, we should prepare ourselves slowly for that large one," Sean said
pointing at the biggest rollercoaster, where people were screaming madly. Those who might've just
gotten down from it were puking their contents at the side.
"Okay," I said.
Once I turned back to my candy cotton, I saw a half of it already gone, looking at the culprit beside me,
I puffed my cheeks in annoyance, not talking to him.
"Okay, I am sorry. Will you forgive me now?" He asked getting infinitely closer to me.
Once, he started getting closer to me, only then did I noticed that Daniel was nowhere near me and I
was now behind the wall, hidden from others.
"Don't do it again in front of soo many people. I get easily embarrassed." I said, without looking at him,
my face starting to burn again.
"I promise. Next time, I'll do it, only when you and I are alone, beautiful." He whispered into my ears
slowly, making me widen my eyes at his words.
What was he implementing saying things like that?
Was he giving me some sort of mixed signals?
Before I could refuse and tell him that's not what I meant, he closed my opened mouth filling it with
chocolate candy.
'Huh!! Chocolate candies are the best in the world.' The person in mind said.
Sucking on the chocolate candy slowly, I looked ahead, when it was our turn.
I was about to sit in the middle with everyone, rolling my eyes at their choice of seat, when Alexander
pulled my hand and brought me to the last two-seater.
"Hey, shouldn't we be sitting with them?" I tried to form the words with my mouth full.
"This ride is no fun already. Sitting in the middle will make it worst." He reasoned, and to be honest he
was very right about it.
If it wasn't for everyone wanting to ride this one first, I wouldn't even think about riding this ride.
"Okay," I said before sitting in the right with Alexander on my left.
He looked at me with an adorable expression, confusing me a bit, before wiping the chocolate that
might have out of my mouth, with a tissue.
"Thank-You," I said, looking at the other side to calm my burning face.
The ride started with a jerk, making me involuntarily hold Alexander's hand, which he might've
accidentally placed on the hand-rest of my seat. Realizing that I have held his hand, I immediately
released it, muttering a quick sorry.
I sat along the ride, enjoying the view of the carnival, wanting to scoff at those adults who were
screaming madly even on this one.
I was pretty much bored since this ride was taking multiple turns and don't know, what came over me
but I suddenly desired to read Alexander's thoughts.
Looking beside me, at him, I concentrated my mind for a second, before I was stopped by a wall. It was
a wall, almost everyone builds around himself to protect his inner thoughts from being read. But the
wall around Alexander's mind was soo thick that it was practically unbreakable.
As the quote goes, 'Curiosity kills the cat', the wall around Alexander's mind made me more eager and
curious to read his thoughts.
Before I could concentrate harder, the wall around his mind immediately vanished, allowing me in, and I
saw visions of a wolf.
A large wolf, that looked undeniably familiar.
Maybe it was because he was thinking about that wolf, he might have encountered in the forest.
Deciding that it was probably best to retreat, I was about to exit, when that wolf came near me, looking
at me while tilting his head, I faintly heard the 'wolf' say,
"Hello mate, let's fall in love with each other." And with that, my head started pounding with unbearable
pain.
Closing my eyes as the tears started to flow out of my eyes, I tried to stop the unbearable pain.
Involuntarily holding Alexander's hand, I brought it close to my face, hugging it as if it was my last hope
to cure the pain. And it indeed helped.
The pain started subsiding, but not before I started falling into a dark abyss.
