Chapter 95 CHAPTER 95: WAVES WIND AND YOU
~Elara~
" And in what world would me not walking the stage stop everyone else from doing so?" I ask, not understanding where he wanted to go anyways in such a rush.
My body tenses when his eyes darken and he's suddenly two steps closer to me. My breath hitches when he moves his hand on the top of the car, leaning down so his face was in front of my own.
"The one where you belong to me, angel."
I purse my lips together, completely aware of the blush creeping onto my face as I try my best to avoid his intimidating gaze.
It only took one glance to notice the way he looked at me, like he'd do anything for me. Like I was his world, and he was just as equally mine.
I didn't mind that, in one bit.
In fact, I might've enjoyed that thought more than possible.
"Fine, can I at least know where we're going?" I ask, giving him a questioning look.
" No."
I sigh before looking away from him and getting into the passenger seat.
Something in me somewhat enjoyed the feeling of being surprised by Calvin.
I wasn't scared, I knew I was safest with him by my side. I guess I was just nervous, mainly being around him.
I felt like myself around Calvin, maybe that's what scared me. No one's ever made me feel like he does, and I felt like I wanted to tell him everything about me, about my life, my thoughts.
"Calvin?" I ask as he starts driving down the road.
The sun was out, and it was a beautiful day today.
It made me completely forget about the existence of school in its entirety.
He looks at me for a moment, as if he was waiting on me to say something.
" Can I wear those." I say, pointing at the expensive sunglasses sitting on top of the center console. Calvin looks at me for a moment before a small laugh leaves his mouth and he turns back towards the road.
"You don't have to ask, Lara . Anything I own is yours." He says, and a smile reaches onto my face as I take the sunglasses and put them on my face.
" Hm, even you?" I say, fixing the sunglasses on my face.
I could feel his dark eyes on me, turning my head so I was looking back at him through my sunglasses.
"Even me." He says lowly, turning back towards the road in front of him.
"So, are you still not going to tell me where we're going?" I ask, trying to cut the tension as I clear my throat.
" Not yet."
I huff, leaning back in my seat as I look out of the window. My eyes widen and I'm quickly back on the edge of my seat as I look through the window even closer.
" It's the ocean! Calvin look at the water, it's right there!" I say, moving even closer to the window as I try taking in the view while we drive down the road. I quickly push the sunglasses up in my hair for a better view, taking it all in.
Never In my life had I seen the ocean, and it was right there. It was beautiful, and the water glistened under the bright sun sparkling like a huge, blue jewel.
" Haven't you been to a beach?" He asks. I could feel his eyes on me, but was too distracted looking at the water to turn towards him as I shake my head no.
I freeze when he pulls into the parking lot, and I quickly turn towards Calvin when I realize. I jump onto his side as I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him with a huge smile.
A low laugh leaves his mouth as he wraps his arm on my lower waist, hugging me back.
" Was this the surprise? We're really going to the beach?" I ask, pulling away as I look down at him.
I knew I probably looked crazy, but I was excited, insanely excited.
" Maybe." He shrugs, and I laugh, quickly moving off of him as I open the door of the passenger side and get out, taking in the fresh air.
We were still in our school uniforms, but I didn't really care much. The warm breeze blew through my hair as we walked down to the main beach.
Well, Calvin was walking. I was nearly running, yelling at Calvin to hurry up as I pointed towards the water we kept getting closer and closer to.
The beach was fairly empty, other than some old couples walking down the sand.
As soon as we reach the sand I take my shoes and socks off, laughing as I feel the warm sand under my feet.
I look towards Calvin in excitement, watching as he looked at me with those eyes once again. " It feels just like I imagined it would." I say, smiling towards him.
My hair was wet, so were my clothes, and there was sand in my hair and shoes. The sun was about to go down by now and Calvin was attempting to dry my hair off with a towel he bought from the beach store.
" That was fun." I laugh, squinting my eyes up at his tall frame through the sun blaring into my eyes as he dried off my hair.
"I can tell, you refused to get out of the water." He chuckles, and I flush red. I may have gotten a little too excited.
" I want to come here again, with you. Lets go next week?" I say, quickly following behind him when he finishes up my hair.
I catch up to him, looking up at him as I wait for a reply. Calvin looks down at me, searching my face for a moment as we walk down the sand. My focus on his eyes distract me from his hand moving into my own as we walked, and it takes me a while to realize until I look down as he tightens his hand in my own.
" We're not done yet."
I furrow my eyebrows together as I watch him, before turning back towards the view of the beach until I notice we were walking towards the boardwalk.
My eyes widen, immediately spotting the huge lit up ferries wheel.
I've never been on one of those
I'm about to ask Calvin if we can go on, but when I turn towards him he's already pointing towards it. " Do you want to go on?"
I nod my head excitedly, turning back towards the ferris wheel. As soon as we get to the boardwalk I could feel my nerves rise up.
The stares we were getting made me feel weird, especially since most of them were girls staring at Calvin . I shouldn't have been jealous, but I couldn't help the way their eyes nearly sparkled with lust as soon as they spotted him.
I wanted to show them he was taken, well, I'm not sure what we were but still, Calvin was mine. Was that weird to say?
They were all insanely gorgeous on top of it, and I find myself moving slightly further from Calvin , letting go of his hand.
I felt stupid from the dirty looks they were giving me.
I could feel his eyes on me, and not even a moment later his hand is back in my own, and I'm pulled even closer to his side as he looks down at me.
I look up at him, his eyes set ahead of him as he walks up to the man selling tickets for the Ferris wheel.
I could feel my eyes nearly sparkle in amazement as soon as we'd gotten into the cart, and slowly started moving higher up. The wind got slightly stronger the higher we got, but I enjoyed the way the cool air blew through my hair.
The sky was orange and pink, and the view was something no camera could ever capture. My smile was obviously evident on my face, and when I'd turned to Calvin he wasn't looking at the view at all. He sat across from me, his dark hair messy, and his eyes watching me closely.
My breaths get heavier, and I clear my throat, my racing heart not helping the red tint creeping onto my face.
Those same eyes. That same look.
What was that look?
" This has always been my dream, going on a Ferris wheel during the sunset." I smile, turning back towards the view. I wondered if he knew this was my dream, or just took a guess. The only place it'd been on was my instagram.
" Has it?" He asks me, and I nod my head, trying to take in as much of the view as I could before we started moving back down.
My body tenses for a moment before I turn my head towards Calvin, not focused on the view at all as I look back at him. He'd been looking at me the entire time, but as soon as I'd caught his eyes his jaw tensed, and he seemed nervous. It was something I'd never seen in Calvin , he never seemed nervous.
I chew on my lip before slowly getting up, trying to control my racing heart as I move to sit next to Calvin . His eyes follow my every movement as I sit down, clasping my hands together in my lap as I turn towards him with a small smile.
Calvin searches my eyes for a moment, with that same look. He quickly looks away though, clearing his throat as he avoids my eyes. I furrow my eyebrows together, wondering what was making him act so different.
Every thought in my head was telling me not to do what I was about to do, but my heart completely ignores it all as I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him down slightly and placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you, for giving me the best day." I smile,
