Eden pecked his lips before she pushed her fingers through his hair, eyes narrowed in concentration, a lip between her teeth as she tried to fix his hair. When she was done, she hummed in satisfaction. "Now it doesn't look like a bird's nest."
Sterling kept his eyes on her face as she worked on his hair. He blinked away the desire in his eyes when she but her lip and tore his gaze away. Watching her would not end well, not unless she wanted to spend the entire day making out. Which he definitely wouldn’t mind…
Then she pulled away, and he could stand up straight again. He let out a slow sigh and wrapped an arm around her, kissing her temple. “Thank you, babe.”
Eden smiled and leaned into him, breathing him in deeply. That cinnamon scent of his… she loved it. “You’re welcome,” she murmured, looking up at him softly. “Now, come on. We can see what we can do when we get there.”
“Do you like cotton candy?” Sterling asked as they stepped through the gates.
“I do,” Eden nodded. “But I haven’t had it in a while.”
“We should go find some,” Sterling said with a grin. “Pink or blue?”
“Blue,” Eden answered, wrapping her arms around his own, hugging it to her chest. “I think I liked that the most.”
“Then we’ll get blue. As soon as we find it…” Sterling mused, glancing around. His eyes landed on a cart with pink and blue and yellow cotton candy hanging from it in bags, and he smiled. “There we go.”
“Or my lovely boyfriend could get pink,” Eden chuckled, squeezing his arm before she pulled away to take out her wallet from her bag. “What do you think?”
Sterling set his hand on her arm to stop her. “For one, of you want blue, then we’re getting blue. Two, you don’t have to pay. It’s my treat today.”
“Are we getting one, or two?” Eden tilted her head before she listened to his next statement and bit her lip. “You know you don’t have to pay every time, right?”
“Let’s start with one. We can always get another later if we want it,” Sterling mused with a shrug. “And I know. I like I pay, though.”
“All right,” Eden hummed, letting him pay this time. She hugged his arm again. “I’ll let you pay for today.”
Sterling chuckled. “All right, babe,” he said before paying for the cotton candy. He handed her the bag and kissed her forehead. “Shall we explore?”
"For sure," Eden chuckled, opening the bag slowly and pulled a small piece in her mouth before she tore apart another and held it to Sterling's lips. "Is there anything you want to try out, Sterling?"
Sterling took the piece with his teeth, playfully nipping the tip of her finger. “What about a roller coaster? They’ve got a few of them.”
Eden huffed when he lightly bit on her finger. She flicked his nose in retaliation. “That sounds fun,” she hummed. “A roller coaster.”
“Great. You can pick which one,” Sterling declared with a grin, pulling another piece of blue fluff from the bag.
(Steeling? XD)
“Is there are a free fall?” Eden murmured, plucking a piece from the bag and putting it in her mouth slowly. “I used to adore those. Sterling, we should go bowling some time, too.” Eden paused, blinking before she added a little more quietly. “We can—we can also bring along my brother and his girlfriend.”
“That sounds like a great idea. Think they’d like to join us?” Sterling asked, kissing her on the cheek. “And I guess we’ll have to see if they have a free fall. Maybe we should grab a map.”
“They might. I don’t know for sure,” Eden admitted before she scratched the back of her neck, twirling her ponytail around her hand. “We should have, yeah. I’m not very… good with maps.”
Sterling chuckled softly and pecked her on the lips, smiling at the sugary taste from the cotton candy. “You taste like sugar, babe… And don’t worry about the map. I’ll figure it out.”
Eden grumbled under her breath, leaning into Sterling a bit more. “That’s because I am eating sugar, Sterling. And all right. The map’s all yours.”
“I know why you tase like sugar, beautiful. I just like teasing you,” Sterling said with a muffled laugh. “Where would we find a map, anyway…?”
“Of course you do. Of course,” Eden huffed under her breath, tucking a strand of hair that came loose from the hair tie behind her ear. “And I think those are supposed to be found at the entrance, my smart one.”
