Zeux’ P. O. V.
When I was about to get out of my car, I took a deep breath. I’m standing in front of Vanessa’s house, imagining how I’d react if I saw her. I’m not sure why I’m feeling this way, but I can’t stop myself. I’m nervous right now for no apparent reason. I sighed and knocked on the door. It took her a few minutes to open the door. When I saw her wearing skinny jeans and a fitted off-the-shoulder crop top, my mouth dropped open. Her collarbone is prominent, and her skin is flawless. I gulped and instantly smiled at her.
“So… are you ready?” I asked, trying not to shake my voice.
She gives a nod. “Yes, but remember what I said. I don’t have money, so you’ll have to pay for everything. I’m just here to be with you, okay?”
I pause but smile. “Y-yes, I’m the one who will pay for everything. You just have to be with me,” I said, my heart racing. Yes. She only needs to be with me. That’s all I want.
She smiles and raises her brows. “All right, it’s clear now. Where are we going?”
I touched my head. “Do you mind if we go to the amusement park? It’s my second time there, and my friends don’t want to go because their schedules are full.”
She beams brightly. “Well, I love amusement parks! It’s an amazing place, actually. What are you waiting for Zeux? Oh, I’m sorry Sir Zeux,” she pretended to laugh before pinching her nose.
“It’s fine, don’t worry. If only the two of us were just talking, you can call me Zeux, but in the office, you must call me Sir Zeux.”
“Okay, then, Zeux the Great. Let’s get started.”
“What?”
“Nothing Zeux!” she chuckles. I simply stated that you are attractive. Let’s go now. Don’t be like a turtle.”
She walked into my car after opening the door. I simply shook my head and smiled. I took a deep breath before starting the engine. She is just sitting quietly and staring out the window while we are driving. Her eyes are filled with the beautiful places we’ve just passed through. I can’t help but notice her in a split second. She is a lovely lady. When I looked at her again, I was taken aback by how she looked at me.
“What are you doing? Your face is red, like you’re shocked or something. Did you just see a ghost or what?”
I gulped as I looked at the highway. “N-no, I was just shocked because our eyes met. I’m actually looking in the side mirror,” I said, not looking at her.
“All right, then. Drive safely, okay? I promise I’m going to kill you if we are going to have an accident.”
When we arrived at our destination, I noticed the sparkle in her eyes. She has the most beautiful smile. I’m not sure what it is, but her smile has me hypnotized. She is extremely attractive. She gave me a wink and then looked away.
“Hey Zeux! Let’s go! Let’s ride in extreme rides. I hope you’re not afraid of it, right?” she says with a smirk.
“No way. W-why would I?”
“All right, let’s go!”
I’m very nervous as we take our first ride on the ferris wheel. I’m afraid of heights and it makes me sick because I’m a werewolf, but heights are my weakness. Maybe I dislike heights because I live like a normal human being. I clutch her tightly. I heard her laugh.
“Why are you clutching me so tightly? It’s not an extreme ride, but why are you acting this way? Are you afraid of heights?”
I immediately move away from her. “What? N-no! No I’m not!”
She laughed and then looked down. I wish I could look down like she does, but I don’t. As the ferris wheel rotates, I become dizzy. I closed my eyes and gripped the side. I can’t explain how I feel, but I’m getting weaker. F*ck!
When we’re out on the ferris wheel, I sat on the side and looked at her. She raises her brows at me.
“What? Oh my! You’re afraid of heights? My gosh! You’re so funny!”
“Hey! Stand out! You look like a beggar there. See how many people walking by are staring at you? Let’s go! We need to try different rides!”
Before standing up, I wiped the sweat from my brow with my palm. She looked at me as if she thought I was afraid of rides. I gulped and then approached her. I was surprised when she wiped my sweat from my face and smiled.
“You know what, if you’re afraid of these rides, you should just watch me ride on them. Don’t push yourself because I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to you,” she said as she walked away.
I followed her and watched her enjoy the rides. I can’t help but smile as I watch her. She is overjoyed. I suddenly remembered her parents. If they are still alive, they may be a happy family. If only they could hear me, I would promise to look after their daughter. I’ll be her knight in shining armor. I’m hoping everything goes well. But, on the other hand, I suddenly feel pain when Vanessa discovers who I truly am. I know it’s a big deal, and I’m afraid she’ll hate me forever. So I’ll treasure every moment we have together until she discovers my true identity.
When she gets tired of riding the various rides, she asks for food. I let her order whatever she wanted, and guess what happened? She orders excessively, as if she hasn’t eaten in a long time.
“Are you sure you can finish it all?”
She smiled then laugh out loud. “Yes! I could finish all of that because I’m really hungry. Sorry for this. I know it’s expensive.” She looked at me like a baby asking for food.
“Don’t worry, I have a big tummy, and my worm in my stomach is as big as a snake,” she said as she began to eat. I look at her for a few moments before beginning to eat.
She seems to enjoy her food, which makes me happy. Her smile remained fixed on her lips. It’s the first time I’ve felt content with a woman I’m dating. I didn’t feel happy with every woman I dated in the last few years. I’m not sure why. Maybe because I don’t like them and they’re all the same to me. They are a gold digger who thrives on the attention of others.
She stood up after finishing her meal. I pay the bills and then approach her. I notice something strange on her. She smiled at me, but she was clutching her stomach. Her brow is dripping with sweat. I clean it up with my handkerchief.
“Why? Are you all right?”
She shook her head slowly. “No, my tummy hurts, and I feel the pain on my tummy.”
“F*ck it, let’s go home now. Can you take it?”
“I’m not sure.”
When we start walking, I hold her hand. I heard a fart a few minutes later, and it smelled awful.
“I’m sorry!” she exclaimed, almost sobbing.
“It’s fine. Just keep walking.”
She farted again as she was about to walk away, then looked at me sadly.
“Why? What happened?” I asked.
“I apologize, Zeux. My shit exploded!”
