Chapter 6
They found the guys by a baseball game. Edwin was
standing beside Chuck with two large, stuffed bears in his
arms.
“See I told you Edwin would kick your butt,” Grace said
laughing at chuck.
“Shut up Grace, it’s fixed, the games are all fixed” Chuck
snapped, putting his arm out to hug her.
Cali just stood there looking at all of them she was over
whelmed by her fear of being caught.
“I won this for you Mrs. Grace,” Edwin said holding out
one of the teddy bears. “It’s red, like your hair so I feel
you should have this one. Cali I won this one for you
because it bright blue like your eyes.” He handed her the
big blue teddy bear but he could tell something was wrong
she looked so sad and scared her face was as white as a
ghost. “I know this is not a date so I gave one to both of
you.”
“Thank you I love him,” Cali said as she embraced the
bear.
“Are you feeling sick or did something happen to upset
you?” Grace asked.
“No I am fine, maybe just a little tired,” Cali replied, forcing
a yawn.
“I know what will make you happy,” Edwin said with a
smile on his face. “Let’s go on the wheel of heights!”
“No it’s ok, you don’t do heights,” Cali said putting her
head down. He gently placed his fingers on her chin
bringing her head up so he could look in to her eyes.
“I will do heights for you.”
“You know your lines just keep getting better and better.”
“Thanks I’m trying my best here,” Edwin smiled.
They all walked to the lineup for the Wheel of heights.
Grace used the teddy bear to hide her baby belly so the
guy would let her on the ride. Grace and Chuck went in
their own cart and so did Cali and Edwin. Cali could tell
how nervous Edwin was despite his best efforts to hide it.
“You’re sitting beside me and holding me the whole time,”
Edwin said in an unsteady voice as he reached for Cali’s
hand.
She sat down in the seat with him and held his hand. She
was shaking almost as much as he was. She was still a
little white and nervous herself but for different reasons.
They started moving she looked down at the carnival and
the small little town, she felt safe and free up there where
nothing bad could get to her.
“So do you want to talk about what is bothering you?”
“Nothing I told you I am just tired,” she muttered looking
away from him.
“White face, clammy hands, nervous lip biting, those are
not signs of being tried”.
Cali turned to face him, “How do you do that? Read every
little thing about me? You barley know me”.
“I’m sorry. I just find you so interesting. I’m trying to
figure you out. I figured talking would make you feel
better”. Their eyes met and for a brief moment Cali felt like
telling him everything.
“Well I don’t feel like talking right now” Cali replied, trying
to pry her eyes from his.
He leaned slightly towards her; face to face he never took
his eyes off of hers. He held her hand in his hand and he
touched the palm of her hand with his fingertips slowing
and gently tickling her hand. The touch sent chills up her
body. He let go of her hand and touched her face with
both of his hands still looking into her eyes. He brought
his face close to hers. She was excited and nervous and
she gave in to him. One little kiss wasn’t going to hurt. He
rubbed her face with his strong hands and brought himself
even closer. He gently blew his hot, minty fresh breath on
her lips but didn’t kiss her. He gently moved her head
slightly and he breathed all over her neck and with his
hands he rubbed his fingers over her neck. He held her
head in his hands and looked into her eyes and with his
thumb he traced her lips. Running his thumb past her chin
down her neck and held his hand over her chest. She
could feel the warmth of his hand and he could feel her
heart beat it was such an
