"Omg!", I squeal.

I couldn't believe my eyes, looking at the Farris wheel, roller coasters, game stands, and all the food stands along with beautiful flashing lights.

"A carnival!", I say jumping up and down clapping my hands.

"I knew you would love coming here", Eli responds parking the car.

We headed to a water game stand.

"I'm going to beat your ass watch!", I teased.

"Good luck", he winks.

1..2..3  beep!

We blasted our guns towards the clown's face shooting the water into it's mouth.

The balloons were filling up quickly.

I glanced over at Eli's balloon his looked ready to pop.

Fuck

I bumped my shoulder into his shoulder to get him off balance.

"Cheater!", He whined.

POP!

A balloon pops making the loud rings go off.

Winner winner!

"Ha! Ha! I beat you!", Eli taunts.

"You just got lucky that my gun wasn't cooperating", I lie.

"Come on babe you know it's all for you anyways.. Now pick your reward", he kisses my cheek holding onto me.

I picked a baby stuffed giraffe.

"Thanks babe", I say pecking my lips onto his smooth ones.

"Are you scared?", Eli teases.

"No, I've been on roller coasters before loser!", I roll my eyes.

Next thing I knew the roller coaster was going downhill and uphill twisting harshly right and left.

I screamed out loud gripping strongly onto the bar in front of us like my life depended on it.

Eli starts taunting me pretending to scream like a girl throwing up his arms.

After what seemed like forever the roller coaster comes to a complete stop, which I was grateful for.

"You were brave don't worry baby", Eli whispers into my ear as he grabs me by my waist.

"Shut up", I say playfully slapping my hand on his large hand.

Our evening consisted of so many games, laughter, fun, and pigging out.

"Our last stop is the Ferris Wheel", Eli suggests as his arms wrap around my waist.

I nod my head in agreement.

The waiting line for the Farris Wheel was long.

"Did I mention I saw your grandfather today at the meeting where I was doing my hours at?", I say.

"No, but that's cool did you talk to him?"

"Yeah he saw me and greeted me.. He's important huh?"

"Yeah he's the one that created our family business, "Gold Industry Enterprise".

"That's amazing babe"

I could see with the corner of my eye.

Girls checking out Eli up and down as well as throw me bitchy stares.

"Yeah, he put my father in charge a couple years ago since he's getting older you know"

"Yeah I know he stays very busy though I can tell"

"Yeah he does, he wants me to major in business management in college, so I can take over one day"

"That's good babe.. Is that something you want for yourself though?", I ask smiling at him.

"Never really thought about it", he shrug his shoulders.

"You should start thinking about your future since we'll be heading to college soon", I  say placing a kiss on his lips.

"Ok", he whispers deepening our kiss.

Next!

We pulled away from our kiss snaping our heads towards the worker who was signaling us to take our seat.

Following behind Eli, we sat on the big red seat closing the holder of the seat across our legs.

How exciting!

The worker locks our seat in then leaves to press a big red button on his machine causing the Ferris Wheel to move.

Eli wrapped his arm around my shoulder pulling me close to him.

"Your so beautiful Gia honestly", he cuffs my jaw making me connect my eyes with his.

The butterflies are kicking in

"Thank you", I mumble feeling my cheeks redden.

"What do you like about me?", I ask.

"Everything.. I love your personality.. I love the way you respect yourself and demand respect from others.. Your nothing like other girls.. Your toughness is a turn on I love how you have a attitude even though it can get annoying at times, but I wouldn't change it I love challenges.. I love the person you're truly are behind that shell you put on.. Your so loyal, pure, loving, nonjudgmental, determined, confident, a risk taker, your honesty, and most important you have a big heart which I love so much!", he genuinely says looking deep within my eyes.

"Did you just use the word love?", I feel my heart skip a beat while trying remind myself to breath.

"Yes I did", he smirks still looking deep within my eyes.

I couldn't help but smile huge it was hard not to.

Feeling the butterflies in my stomach go wilder.

"G-Gia", He stutters clearing his throat.

"Yes?", I say looking at his gorgeous goddess face.

"I l-love y-you", he nervously mumbles. 

My whole world froze around me, everything shut out from my mind only focusing on Eli.

Did he just say he loves me? Omg!

"You what babe?", I ask with a huge grin plastered onto my face.

"I love you", he repeats this time more confident.

Without any doubt I already knew how to respond to this

"I love you too", I hugged him placing kisses all over his goddess face.

Eli chuckles at how I was smothering him with my kisses.

"I love you Elias Gold with all of my heart", I cuff his cheek making him look down at me.

He smiles and I noticed his emerald green eyes shining brighter than ever before, "I love you Gia Marin with all of my heart too baby".

He connected his lips onto mine.

Our lips moving in sync together.

Those words meant everything to me absolutely everything.

I've never loved anyone as much as I love Eli.

He makes me want to be a better person.

I also realized he has slowly been breaking my walls down I've build up for so long after I got hurt by my ex.

I never thought Eli and I would be here.

looking back to when we first meet, we've have came a long way.

And I don't regret any of it.. Besides not confessing my feelings earlier.

I fucking love him I truly love him

We were making our way towards Eli's car when a deep unfamiliar voice was heard.

"Eli!"

We snapped our heads back towards this voice.

There stood a tall man that looked in his late 20's , he was bald and had very dark eyes with tattoos all over his arms and even neck.

"Do you know him?", I ask furrowing my brows in confusion.

"Ugh!", Eli grunts ignoring my question.

"What do you want?", He rolls his eyes at this man.

"Why haven't you answered? I have job for you to do!", The man gritted his teeth.

Huh? Job? What kind of job?

"Wait inside the car Gia", he demands unlocking the car doors by a press of a button.

I looked at him then the tall man confused not knowing what to do.

I' don't know why, but I'm feeling a bad vibe from this dude

"Go now!", Eli hissed breaking me out of my thoughts.

I quickly opened the door crawling inside closing the door.

Wtf! Was that all about?

Who is that guy? Why did Eli's whole mood change?

These questions flowed through my mind
