Dangerously Yours Till Eternity

They had gotten to Small Paradise that night, and as promised, Chris had indeed made it up to her in many ways.

Many ways.

Today was their third day at Small Paradise, and they had decided to spend their time together at the Amusement Park.

It had been fun so far. Their first day here, they had gone on Floating balloons, yesterday they went hiking, and right now they were in the Amusement Park, heading towards the roller coaster for a ride.

The park was filled with sound of laughter, voices blending together under the gentle rays of the sun.

It was a splendid afternoon.

But there was a problem though, a queue.

A really long queue.

“Do you still want to go on the ride?” Chris asked as they moved closer, walking pass some couples while some ran pass them to join the queue.

“Why?”

“The queue is really long.”

Ivy could see that, but being here had really been fun and there was no way she was going to let a simple queue make her miss out on how much more fun she could still get.

“I thought you were a patient man.” She giggled, tucking her hands into the pocket of her baggy jeans and looking straight ahead.

Chris smiled softly at her reference.

When they got to the queue, Chris was fast to pay two random people to stay on the queue in place of him and Ivy. So that while their spaces were secured, they could enjoy the other things the park had to provide.

He also left a number for them to call once it was their turn.

The strangers were pleased with the pay he offered, and they were more than happy to stand on the queue in their place.

“Why didn’t you just buy the whole queue?” Ivy asked as they turned away from the queue, walking towards a place that had a couple of stalls side by side.

“I just feel like they must have had dreams about getting on that ride with their loved ones and I didn’t want to snatch that away from them, you know,” he shrugged casually.

“Considerate, kind and sweet. How did I ever get so lucky?”

He stopped and she did the same, wondering why he had stopped.

Then he stared intently at her face with a slow smile playing on his lips, like as if he was seeing her for the very first time and he was really pleased with what he was seeing. Then, he tucked her hair behind her ears, moving it away from either sides of her face, pushing them behind her.

“By the Blood, I’m the lucky one.” He said with his ever pleasant and soft smile.

Mischief glinted in her eyes and she casually tucked her hair behind her ears.

“I know right,” she rolled her eyes playfully and he faked a short gasp of shock in response.

“You hit a real jackpot with me, Mr Seductive Brown Eyes,” she winked playfully, then started walking towards the Ice cream stand.

He followed after her, his stride matching her own.

“Seductive Brown Eyes? Is that what you call me in your mind.”

She shrugged, “you have no idea how many things I call you in my mind.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Hmmm, that makes me so curious. Will you tell me?”

“I plan to keep them all a secret, so you can only ask for one.”

“Hmmm,” he hummed, like as if he was about to take a decision that had the tendency of stopping world hunger.

They were right at the ice cream stand now and the Seller was taking their orders.

“This,” she pointed at the list filled with pictures, that was pasted at one side of the stand. “In Chocolate flavour, please.”

“Same,” Chris said.

They got their ice cream and headed to the sitting area. Each table had a large umbrella tucked in between them. The air smelt wonderful, like baking, and there were not many customers here.

They easily found an empty seats and sat down.

“A velvet cake will really hit right now,” Ivy said, making herself comfortable.

“Okay, I’ve decided on my question.”

“Fiiinahlly,” she managed to say as she took in a spoon of ice cream, the melting chocolate flavoured cold cream, momentarily freezing her teeth.

“What did you call me before you knew my name?” He leaned coward, his eyes suggestive, satisfied with the questions he had finally decided to ask.

Ivy leaned further towards him, reaching one hand forward, trailing her fingers down one side of his face.

“Mr Handsome.”

“That is not cheesy at all.” He chuckled.

“Wwwhat? You are Handsome.”

“I am, ain’t I?” He cocked her a playful eyebrow.

“How humble,” she rolled her eyes.

“You are the one to tal—”

His phone started ringing, interrupting them. He picked it up, swiping left, ending the call.

“Work?” Ivy asked.

“Uhm uhn.” Then he looked up at her from his phone. “Jett can take care of it.”

Ivy smiled, as selfish as that might sound, knowing the workload, she didn’t want Chris leaving.

Jett would be alright. He would survive it all, he was capable.

“So we are still going to the club, tonight?”

“Definitely.”

“Do you thi—”

The phone was ringing once again.

“Maybe you should pick up. Jett normally doesn’t do this, it might be an em–”

Before she completed that, Chris staggered up immediately, his face drawn up into a light frown.

“Is everything okay?” Ivy looked up at him, her face filled with absolute worry.

Chris nodded, tucking his phone into his pocket, dropping a much smaller one on the table.

“They will call on this phone when it comes to our turn to ride the roller coaster.”

“Where are you going?”

“I will be back before you know it.”

Contrary to his promise, she knew it, and still he wasn’t back.

It been over an hour ago since he left her at the sitting area.

At first she had been worried about what would happen to their hard earned secured spaces, later she wasn’t worried about that anymore, but about Chris.

Where had he disappeared to?

The people who were on the queue in their place had called, and Ivy had been left with no choice but to pay them the other half of the money they were left to be paid.

She picked up her phone and called him again.

Was this the tenth time, the 15th, 20th? She couldn’t tell but she knew she had called him severally, that was for sure.

She walked around, looking for him.

She started walking off to the car park.

She just hoped that he was still there with his car, or maybe his car was there or… in fact, she really didn’t know.

She just wanted to find him.

When she got there, his car space was occupied, not with his car though, but another’s.

Chris car was no where to be found.

Her stomach dropped. She had ran back to the queue and ice cream sitting area, hoping that he would be there, waiting for her.

She could already feel herself losing her mind. He hadn’t answered any of her calls nor responded to her numerous texts.

She got worried and started looking for him.

The fact that he was a vampire hadn’t skipped her mind, but remembering what had happened to Elsa a while back didn’t put her at ease either.

Chris clearly had enemies and they were no doubt people like him.

What if they could hurt him?!

What if he needed help right now and she didn’t know.

Her heart raced and she called him once again but this time around, it didn’t even ring.

His phone was switched off.
