Cotton Candy Wishes and Plenty of Kisses!

|| Rosie's Outfit ||

To say that Rosalie was excited for the weekend was an understatement. A huge understatement. Well, to be fair, she was excited for every weekend – by every Friday, she was worn out from a long week of school and people. But this weekend was a particularly special one. They had talked about it for weeks. They had managed to save up their money and buy tickets. They had finally set a day to go.

She and Jonah were going to a beach-side amusement park! Cue the excitement squeals!

The park was one that Rosalie saw in a movie once and instantly made it the number one dream date idea on her list. (Yes, of course there’s a list!)

Even if was just for one day, she was no less excited! To even have the opportunity to drive there was a dream come true. But actually getting to attend the park? With her better half alongside her?! Whatever dream this was, she did NOT want to be awakened from it. Ever.

The DC4 album was on continuous repeat in the car. The speakers blared and vibrated with the bass.. A grin snaked across Rosalie’s face. She was moving along to the beat, mouthing the lyrics word for word. God, this was her JAM! Suddenly, she felt eyes on her. The grin grew bigger as her eyes flickered over to Jonah, who was watching her star in her own little show. She winked at him. She loved when he looked at her like that. He was so gorgeous, driving this just-as-gorgeous car. Rosalie felt like a celebrity.

”Aye aye, Captain. T-minus fifteen minutes until we see the sea.” She happily let him snatch her hand in his, watching the traffic ahead. It was her job to be co-pilot. The job was kind of intimidating, especially in a city as busy as this. She hadn’t been to this one before! Skyscrapers towered above them and there were people all about in the streets. Marquees and advertisements as far as the eye could see. Rosalie felt her breath be taken away for a moment. Oh, how she craved the city life! It was a dream to live in an apartment overlooking the city, have a corgi puppy napping on the carpet, the love of her life lying in bed next to her…

She looked at Jonah again, whose eyes were focused on the road. ”No, really? I couldn’t tell! Not with you talking my ear about it all night last night.” she teased, bringing his hand to her lips. ”I’m kidding, babe. I’m literally like, just as excited as you are. If not more! Do you have any idea how badly I want some cotton candy? Like, super bad! I need it, JoJo. Need it!” Ah, she could almost taste the candy melting on her tongue. The sweet melody of blue raspberry and strawberry was all that she could think about for the remainder of the trip until finally, the ocean was visible on the horizon. Rosalie’s eyes lit up.

”OHMYGOD, JONAH! Look at it! Look at the Ferris wheel! We are SO kissing at the top of that thing!”

Minutes later, she was bouncing up and down in her seat like a child, waiting for Jonah on her side of the car. She grinned up at him, kissing him back. At his request to keep the keys, Rosalie gave him a pointed look. It was eight seconds later when she finally plucked them from his hand and dropped them in the pocket of her tote. There was hardly ANY room in there, but somehow, the keys plopped perfectly into a snug spot in the corner. She looked back up at Jonah, pouting her lips. ”You’re lucky you’re so fucking cute. Otherwise I’d tell you to store them in your mouth like a chipmunk.”

All right, so it wasn’t as if Rosalie hated carrying his things. She honestly didn’t mind at all. But would she really be Jonah’s girlfriend if she didn’t give him as much shit as he gave her? The two were crazy about each other, but they liked to drive either crazy, too. ”Balance”, Rosalie would always say. ”It’s about balance!”

After posing for what was probably the CUTEST selfie ever in her opinion, Rosalie laughed. ”So what? Let them be jealous of our amazing getaway! Can you imagine how jealous Dixie and Josie are right now?! They’re probably watching our stories and flipping us off as they watch them.”

The woman at the counter tied the wristbands on while Rosalie gazed at the amusement park. This place was a lot bigger up close! She smiled at the woman and thanked her before grabbing Jonah’s arm and wrapping it around her waste – one of her absolute gestures – and began walking down the pier. Kids were screaming with delight all around them. Carnival music echoed from the speakers above. She leaned into Jonah and peered up at him with an expression that lit up like the sun above. He looked like a god, a sun god, with the way the rays shined behind him. How the hell did she land a man like him?

”No, I’m ready for an amazing day! Which ride first? We can go on the Ferris wheel last, at sunset. It’ll be more romantic that way, obviously. What about the swings? Look at how pretty they are! They’re unicorn themed!” she exclaimed, pointing at them.

Rosalie giggled.

”I love spending time with me, too! And you, obviously. That goes without saying though,” she said, making a kissy-face. ”Salem gets boring. Traveling is what we do best. Even if someone gets a little too enthusiastic along the way.” Rosalie winked again, this time leaning over to plant a kiss on Jonah’s cheek immediately afterward. ”Trust me, I’m not making fun of you. I think it’s totally adorable!”

There was something in Jonah’s eyes that she couldn’t quite place, however. It was a glimmer of surprise. Rosalie made a face. What on earth was going through his mind right now? Oh, what she wouldn’t give to be able to read his mind! Who knows what sort of fantasies tainted his thoughts! The idea made a dark smile snake across her face. She so needed to pry those out of him. Rosalie liked to keep her horizons broad and was forever expanding them. What would a little more spice in the bedroom hurt?

Absolutely nothing! the voice in her head screamed with enthusiasm. Rosalie’s smile grew bigger.

Once they were out of the car, the couple kissed a little longer than what “normal” couples would have before intertwining hands and heading through the main entrance into the grand amusement park that Rosalie had already forgotten the name of (oops) – in her defense, this was her first time here – but none of that mattered! What mattered was being here, with Jonah, on the most perfect of perfect days!

Rosalie snatched her phone from the front pocket of her jeans and quickly threw the puppy-dog ears filter on the screen. ”Jo-Jo! Come here and be the cute Dalmatian! We have to send a snap to Dixie! Ten bucks says she screenshots it… she’s known for doing that. She’s so cute.” she cooed, before holding down the on-screen button. Rosalie flipped her hair and proceeded to talk to the camera in a silly voice.

”I’m here with baeeeee! At paradise! Look at all the rides and peopleeee that I wish would go away so we could get the park to ourselves, weeeeee!” The recording ended and Rosalie immediately pressed send. She looked up at Jonah. ”Come on, you know that was cute. She is going to FLIP!”

The feeling of his arm around her waist still to this day sent her heart into overdrive. It was almost two years later, and the butterflies still never went away. Not when he came in the room, not when he looked at her with those beautiful dark eyes, not even when he was sitting across the table from her at a restaurant. They were the perfect couple. And Rosalie knew it. When he agreed to the swings first, she picked up her walking pace and swung their hands merrily.

”Horny-corn swings it is!” she said, but stopped for a moment. ”I mean, unicorn… wait, no I don’t. Horny-corn is more fun.” she looked over her shoulder to look at Jonah, raising an eyebrow suggestively. ”I’m your horny-corn, right?”

The two stopped shortly after that once they reached the line to the swing. It wasn’t terribly long. But long enough that they’d be waiting for a bit. That was fine! Rosalie wanted more time to be able to take pictures and talk. Besides, the weather was beautiful! A little standing in the sunshine was great for the mood, anyway. Not that Rosalie had a problem with that, either. Her mood was always at its highest when she was with Jonah. There was just… something about him that sent her into a constant euphoric state. Her blue eyes flickered over to his dark ones again, allowing hers to wander further and further until she was completely lost in the darkness of them.

God, she loved him so fucking much.
