with a hint of pain.
    “Oh my, no... I’m thrilled to see you, but… are you following me?” I didn’t want to sound harsh or anything, I just wanted to know what brought him there right as I was standing alone and wishing for him to be holding me just like he was at that very moment.
    “I would certainly enjoy following you, especially in these shorts.” He answered, looking down at my choice of attire, and I was immediately horrified at the way I looked. “I was just at the pub, and I wanted to come up here to give you a call. I know… I’m a bit mad.” I realized that he was slightly drunk and suddenly I was overwhelmed with the scent of liquor. “But then on my way here I saw you looking out into the water, stunningly beautiful. So I couldn’t help myself.” He was insatiable.
    “Wow, I wish I would’ve known I was going to see you, I would’ve put on something nicer.” I was so stunned I didn’t even know what to say to him.
    “Why? I like the way you look right now, it’s real.” He kissed me again and I could taste Vodka, but I didn’t care. I welcomed his warm mouth onto mine and we kissed for too long; soon my friends were standing behind us gawking. Adam cleared his throat loudly to get our attention. I whimpered when Simon pulled away.
    “Adam! Suzette! Wonderful to see the both of you again, had a fantastic time last night!” He spoke a little too loud as he gave them both big hugs. I was beginning to think he was even drunker than I had originally thought.
    “Hey man, you alright?” Adam was a bit concerned with his current state.
    “Of course mate! I was just drinkin’ with the fellas and I wanted a bit of fresh air and to give this one over here a call,” he pointed to me, “so I walked over here, but here she is… waiting for me. Isn’t that sweet?” He smiled at me with a wink. I couldn’t help but feel like I was on cloud nine at that moment. I knew that he had a few too many drinks, but he was thinking about me when I was not around, he came to the bridge just to give me a phone call, and he had no qualms with my casual attire. Plus the way he kissed me, so demanding yet delicate. I couldn’t help but feel weak in the knees.
    “Are you joining us on the ferris wheel?” Suzette spoke up.
    Simon’s eyes lit up and he looked back to Suzette, then back at me. “You’re taking a ride on the Eye?”
    “Yep, Adam really wants to.” I said, unenthused.
    “Well, count me in! Let’s get to it before it gets too late.” Simon was thrilled about our evening plans, and I was a little more eager to ride as well knowing he would be there to catch me if I fell.
    Simon led the way in the direction of the wheel, but Adam grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Simon and Suzette didn’t notice and they kept walking ahead; chatting it up.
    “What’s wrong?” I asked Adam.
    “Listen, I booked this ride yesterday. They have this cupid’s capsule deal where you get a capsule for two and champagne, or whatever. So I booked two of them, I know I should’ve told you sooner that you were going to be riding in one by yourself, but it’s the one right after ours I made sure.” Adam explained.
    “I’m confused…”
    “I wanted this to be something romantic for Suzette, and I was going to buy three tickets, but this package is only good for two in one pod, otherwise we would be riding with a swarm of people. That’s why I bought two pods, so it works out great that Simon showed up because now you won’t be alone.” I was still confused why he spent the extra money so I could have my own capsule… I would’ve preferred to stay on the ground. But I guess none of that mattered since he handed me the two tickets, one for me and one for Simon.
    “Okay ..” I shrugged it off like it was nothing; trying, but most likely failing, to hide my excitement. We caught up to the other two who were still talking about who knows what, I wasn’t even sure if they realized we were so far
