8. "Height."
- And he walk you home? - Sam 's eyes widened , and did not seem to believe her ears .
- But most importantly - he's the guy who wears all black, sitting alone at his desk and did not communicate ..- I took a sip of strawberry cocktail and looked at the wall clock.
Time was 5:00 pm . Today is Sunday. According to the plan , meeting with Justin at an amusement park .
Sam pulled me out of the house and we decided to go to drink cocktails in the "neck" , and at the same time and talk.
- Um ... I have time . - I smiled sadly .
Where are you ? - Girlfriend burns at me.
- I wanted to go to the park ... amusement - I swallowed .
- I 'll drive . - she smiled brightly .
Thank you.
A few minutes later we were sitting in the car and singing a favorite song that was playing on the radio.
Within a few blocks of dark we turned onto the road to the park. Afar was seen many fires . Around the entrance stood about three dozen cars and had a bunch of people.
- Wuhu ! - Sam screamed , so suddenly that I shivered .
- What?
- We go together to " centrifuge ", Skye, Skye , please ... she made puppy eyes , I -I'm waiting when they open the attraction for about a year !
Sam and it is not closed, and - I rolled my eyes .
- Maybe so , but I 've always wanted to ride it ! - She slapped his palm on the steering wheel , honking car that cut in front of her on the turn .
- Okay, I'm with you for a ride , but when I finish the case , you know?
- Well, - she nodded and parked near the entrance .
We paid for the tickets , and squeezed through the crowd, went to the center of the park .
And then it hit me ! So where exactly are we supposed to meet ? He said only that the park , but the place is not called ... Well, he will find me , if he needs to ...
Sam twisted his head in different directions and then tugging at my sleeve plaid shirt my .
- Come on, I want to ride on them - she dragged me through the crowd by the hand .
A few minutes later , we were standing in line for "Power ." Everyone was getting into his typewriter and went to a special coating , ramming and overtaking each - other.
Nam that five years from now?
- Come on, when did you become so boring ? - Samantha said , putting on his head a protective helmet .
It was fun , we overtook , rammed each other.
Ended when the allotted time for us , we left there and laughed like crazy .
Sam pulled me to the room for slot machines that housed and billiards.
Here we are in the room.
We are located near the far table and ordered fries and a Coke.
Our conversation was about the attractions , and the next in our plans was to visit the " centrifuge ".
Suddenly , Sam's face lit up , I turned around.
About the farthest billiard table was Ray .
He sent the cue ball on , then followed by a stroke and ... ball was right on target . All the guys standing around the table cheered . McDermott gave the following ...
Alex ! ?
Before I realized what had happened and I Sam stood for about guys.
Girlfriend twittered about Ray , and Alex came up to me .
- Here we met - he just hugged me.
Yeah ... do you play? - I nodded toward the cue in his hand.
- A little ... he rubbed his temple . - Can I get you anything?
- Did - for my response followed a charming smile . I saw Alex's eyes lit up with a twinkle .
- Choose whatever you want .
I wanted something sweet , I went to the door of the room where there was a small kiosk .
I turned my head to the right , where a large glass window had a view of glowing lights and people scurrying to and fro .
The guy in the black jacket nodded toward the exit and disappeared into the crowd .
"I'm waiting ... ", I again heard his voice in my mind.
I went with rapid steps towards Sam and whispered to her: " I have to go on business ... meet at Oklo 11 exit of the park ," went to the door.
Suddenly I was grabbed by the arm and spun 180 degrees.
Alex carefully examined me from head to toe .
- Where are you going ? - He said coldly , from which went goose bumps.
- I went for ... cotton candy - I cowered under his gaze ,
- I want to .. , - I did not say anything , - sweet .
He grunted , loosened his grip and walked away.
I turned and hurried toward the door. This is my chance to clarify at least part of all that is happening in my life, thanks in part to Justin.
I still felt on Alex 's gaze , who stood with his hands folded on his chest, and walked me a serious look . His face was only one - he did not believe me ....
I approached the stall with cotton , digging in his pockets for change .
I grabbed his hand and led him through the crowd.
Soon we came to the cashier to " Ferris Wheel" , the guy gave two tickets and we sat in a painted red booth.
Stall door locked. Inside, it was a bit crowded , two soft seats facing each other , large windows to see out of them on top of the view .
Another was a handrail , which belonged to the " input - output " door .
I sat down on the seat , and the guy turned to the window .
Our cabin was rising higher and higher , I began to swallow air ...
Justin turned his face expressed concern :
- What's the matter ?
- I ... I 'm afraid of heights ... I ... - tipped her head to the wall of the booth and closed her eyes.
I gasped a little more and fainting provided me ...
Suddenly , I was gently lifted to his feet, I opened my eyes . Now in front of me a nice view on the night city and the park.
In a small crack in the glass penetrated the fresh air . I felt a little easier ...
I put my hands on the rail and admiring the view.
He leaned against his chest against my back and put his hands on either side of my on the handrail .
- You better ? - He whispered in my ear. His voice went goose .
I nodded .
Suddenly , I felt something warm touched my neck.
Gently , almost weightless man his lips track from my ear to shoulder. I closed my eyes .
- I have something for you , he walked across the room and dropped his hands in his pockets.
Suddenly cabinet jerked and stopped.
- Damn -he swore ...
The whole construction is rattled , and for a moment it seemed to me that "Wheel" is now crashing to the ground . I leaned on the railing and peered down , trying to see what is happening there.
The door creaked and opened ... I slid down ...
