Excerpt:
They found
a secluded spot to sit off the main drag and scarfed down pieces of pizza and
people-watched. Aaron had been full of nerves earlier, but Lucky put him at
ease. He had that way about him.
“I’ve got a
few minutes left,” Lucky said when they finished their food.
They got
up, sipping at their drinks as they made their way through the crowd back toward
Lucky’s booth. It was now or never. He had to ask, had to get the words out, or
miss his shot.
“Can I ask
you something?” Lucky spoke up before Aaron could. Maybe Lucky would… Aaron
held his breath, nodding. “It might sound weird.”
“Sure,”
Aaron replied, his heart beating a little faster. He had no idea what was
coming now; what could Lucky possibly want from him? A kiss?
“Can you
take your picture for me?”
Aaron
blinked at him. Lucky tilted his head off to one side and Aaron turned his head
the same direction. His gaze landed on a photo booth, realization sinking in.
His mouth fell open, unsure what to say. It was a little weird because they
barely knew each other, but also flattering.
“I’d really
like to draw you again.” Lucky seemed slightly embarrassed. “I mean, I could
take pictures on my phone if that’s better for you, but that seemed creepier
somehow.”
Aaron
couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped at Lucky’s words, even as the idea of
Lucky drawing him again and again left him breathless. “Um,” he managed to get
out, glancing around at the crowd. A familiar blonde head caught his eye and he
nearly choked.
Was Lyn at
the carnival? Wasn’t she supposed to be with their mothers?
Aaron
pulled Lucky by the hand into the photo booth and slid the curtain shut.
Lucky slid
money into the slot as they sat down. His breath caught as Lucky’s hands
touched his face gently. “Like this,” Lucky whispered, turning his head to the
side. The camera flashed. Lucky’s fingers turned his head to the front, pulling
away just in time for the camera to go off again. Once again, Lucky’s fingers
turned his head to the side, only now he was facing Lucky, staring deeply into
his eyes.
Aaron tried
not to hyperventilate as he held Lucky’s gaze. The camera flashed for the last
time but neither of them moved.
“Go out
with me?” Aaron suddenly blurted out. He had to do something or he might do
something even more insane, like kiss Lucky. Aaron so wasn’t ready for that
yet. Lucky's eyes widened and he smiled.
“Sure,”
Lucky drawled after a moment. “When?”
