Professor F

Chapter 35

They hailed a cab and when they reached the park, Flynn pulls out his wallet but she stopped him. "I'm

paying. It's my treat!" She hands the money to the cab driver and they stepped out of the car.

She grabs Flynn's hands in hers and looking so excited when she saw the rides and he followed her

everywhere. She paid for an all day pass and ride and also got themselves food for lunch at any

restaurant inside the park.

Flynn insisted to pay or at least share but she refused. "I invited you to this kind of date so I'm paying, This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

okay? Keep that expensive wallet of yours and let my proud coin purse handle it!" She shows him her

pink coin purse with folded cash and some change.

He chuckled and she can imagine that handsome smile on his face behind the mask as they step out of

the cab.

He hugged her from behind and nestled her face between her shoulder and neck. "I'm so happy,

August. I am."

She heard him sniff so she tries to look into his teary eyes. "You're crying?"

He looked away when she tried to stare. "Just dust in my eyes." He cleared his throat and held her

steady while he hugs her from behind. "Thank you. This means a lot to me."

She smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. Stop crying or you'll ruin our first date."

He nodded and without warning he places his arm around her shoulders. "What ride do you want to try

first?"

She blushed feeling him this close while they're in public. They really seem like a normal couple dating.

Some people are staring at them with the masks on their faces but they didn't mind and just continued

enjoying their time at the park.

They tried different rides and she keeps holding on to Flynn while screaming. Flynn would just look at

her, laughing at her reaction. She's thankful she's wearing the mask or Flynn would see her ugly face

screaming in fear with the rides.

They also tried the horror house but Flynn was as composed as always. He wasn't scared. He even got

an explanation how the scary faces, fake blood and wounds are made.

"Really? What are you? You're not scared of the rides and you're not even scared of them? What is it

that you're scared of?"

She was giggling asking the question but he was suddenly quiet. "Losing someone I love." He

answered as he looked into her eyes and squeezed her hand in his while they're walking with few

people along the dark hallway going out of the horror house.

She caught herself in his spell and they were both pinned near the exit door in the dark. He stared at

her, removing his mask. And as if the time ticks so slow, he lifts his hand and removes the elastic band

behind her ear, letting the mask fall from her face.

He lowered his face and kissed her lips slowly and passionately. She responded with the same passion

as he cupped her face in his hands and pulled her head to meet his hungry kiss.

She heard people screaming in the background but the more dominant sound was her heartbeat

singing a beautiful melody of love and her head started to feel light, as if she's in cloud nine.

She then felt someone bumping into her in the dark causing her to lose her balance but Flynn caught

her by the waist and took the fall, hugging her tight while she's on top of him as his back touched the

ground.

The person said sorry but left the horror house running. And in the dark, she could see Flynn smiling at

her and she smiled back when his arms tightened around her body. "I love you." He whispered.

"I love—" Her stomach growled in hunger. She blushed and felt ashamed, resting her face to his chest.

Flynn laughed softly and kissed her head. "Alright, princess. Let's have lunch."

••••••

They both agreed to have burger and fries for lunch and soft drinks. When she asked him if it's okay to

just buy their food and sit in a bench like most people at the park do since the restaurants are all full,

Flynn agreed to her idea.

She insisted to buy their food while he waits for her at the end of the line. As soon as she got their

orders, Flynn rushed to her and helped. He reached out to his pockets and pulled a white handkerchief.

He then wipes the sweat from the side of her face and neck.

She blushed with his gesture. He's really acting so sweet and cute as her boyfriend. Oh my God! Why

are you doing this? I'm falling in love with him over and over again.

She cleared her throat to compose herself and her thoughts. Flynn immediately found them a bench to

sit on and eat their lunch. It's somewhat isolated from the crowd under the shade of a big tree.

"Where do you want to go next?" He asked, their masks already away from their faces, enough to eat

their food.

She bites on her burger. "I'd love to try their shooting game stalls and their claw grabber machines! But

I'm not really good at aiming and getting that prize! I still love to try though."

"Sure. I'll play."

"Really?"

He nodded as he bites on his burger. "Watch me.”
