Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Blair grabbed his hand and headed towards the last row of seats.

“Quick! Let’s sit in the last row. That’s less scary,” she urged.

But Wesley stopped her.

“No.” He dragged her in the opposite direction and stopped at the first row.

“No way! I’m not sitting in the first row!” she screamed, ready to escape.

Ignoring her protests, Wesley scooped her up and sat her down in one of the seats of the first row, while explaining, “Trust me. You won’t be happy in the Last row. If you sit in the first row, you get to see the action, up close and personal. The reason why a roller coaster is so thrilling is that you get to see what’s going on. But in the back row, you’re essentially weightless. If you don’t have a strong stomach, you’ll be emptying its contents by the end. That’s not good for you, and I know it’s not fun. Sit in the middle row, and you might as well throw away your ticket. Your view is blocked. You need to be able to see. It’s more fun that way.”

As he said that, he already sat next to Blair, fastened their seatbelts and closed the lap bars. After confirming everything, they just waited for the staff to check on their safety restraints.

Blair clutched his hand tightly and said in a trembling voice,

“Okay…I trust you. You never lie.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Wesley smiled, “That’s right.

Just Like I told you.” She felt a little better after hearing what he said. ‘Yeah, he’d never lie to me!’ she told herself.

A worker checked on the passengers one by one. After that, the bell rang, letting everyone know the ride was about to start. Wesley squeezed her hand, giving her comfort.

“I’m by your side. Don’t be afraid. You’re safe.”

Blair swallowed a little saliva and slowly tilted her head. She stared into his eyes; the deep and firm look in his eyes touched her heart.

“Mmm hmm,” she nodded.

He was here; she wasn’t afraid.

Blair closed her eyes as the train slowly began its run.

In no time, the roller coaster began to speed up. Blair could feel the strong wind hitting her face and whizzing in her ears. She couldn’t help but scream out Loud with her eyes shut tightly. She could imagine how scary it was.

Regret filled her heart. Why did she choose to ride a roller coaster with Wesley? She must look a sight now.

Her hair was a mess. She was screaming, which couldn’t sound good to him. And her face was twisted into a mask of fright.

Then she wondered why Wesley was so quiet.

He didn’t make a sound.

If he hadn’t been holding her hand, she would doubt if he was really sitting right next to her.

Her curiosity to check on Wesley surpassed her fear of heights, so she decided to open an eye to catch a glimpse of him. Biting her Lower lip, she slightly tilted her head and managed to open an eye. The man was as calm as he ever was, as if he wasn’t sitting on a roller coaster but walking idly around the streets. Or relaxing in front of the TV.

But she had no time to marvel at his preternatural calm. The next second, the roller coaster suddenly came to a drop. She felt butterflies in her stomach as her body followed the drop. In an instant, she shrieked at the top of her Lungs, tears streaming down her face.
