Chapter Seven

* Fun Fair…*

I recovered from the whole “losing my virginity” thing. I don’t think I’d ever forget how it felt, to be that close to someone, that connected to another person. It was special for me, even if it wasn’t special for him. I thought about it often since it happened—nearly a week ago, but couldn’t bring myself to tell Alexis or Todd about it.

They didn’t need to know.

They couldn’t tell, could they?

I mean, I felt like the entire world knew that Payton Taylor popped my cherry. I snorted, thinking how very dumb that particular thought was. I sat on the bench and waited for the billions and billions of screaming kids to come up to me and either hug me, sock me, or kick me. It was a shitty job, and yet, it was fun.

“I can’t believe you haven’t killed anyone yet,” Alexis said as she came and sat with me on the bench. She had her “Wench” costume on and she crossed her legs at her ankles. “I’m so damn beat.” She pulled her right foot up to her thigh and started to rub her toes. “Oh…”

I grinned. “How’s the job?”

“It sucks ass.”

I laughed. “Tell me how you really feel.”

“You should see Todd in there.” Alexis shook her head. “He’s wearing that damn eye patch and talking like Jack Sparrow.”

I grinned. “I knew he’d like the job.”

“He’s a natural, and of course all the kids love him.”

“I hear a couple of girls that work here like him, too.”

Alexis’s eyes narrowed. “I heard that, too. Well, they better watch out, because I will knock out anyone that tries to touch my man.”

I laughed. “I don’t think you have anything to worry about. You and Todd are pretty damn awesome.”

Alexis smiled and put her foot back down. “I think so, too.”

“Tell me something good,” I said, and looked at Alexis. She started to laugh and I shrugged. “What?”

“That stupid costume! I totally forgot you were wearing it.”

I laughed. “Yeah, it’s hard to remember that you’re talking to a five-foot-tall bird.”

“Shut up.”

“Seriously, tell me something good.”

Alexis quirked her brow. “How good?”

I sighed. Not that good. “Surprise me.”

“Okay, Todd asked me to marry him.”

I turned my head so fast that I knocked Alexis in the eye with my beak. “Shit! Sorry! Oh my God! Are you serious?”

“Damn it, Keri, watch it with that thing!”

“Sorry!”

Alexis moved back a little and grinned. She put her hand into her pocket and then moved it back out, and voila! There was a ring on her left ring-finger!

I squealed, and then I stood up and grabbed her hands. We jumped around in the lot like two lunatics.

Then the kids started coming in droves, and we were all dancing and squealing, and I had the biggest grin on my face, and nobody could see it underneath the costume.
