11. Captured as a Couple
HARRY'S POV
" well." I said, after going on half the small rides in the park. " that was embarrassing."
Lauren was grinning ear to ear. I couldn't tell if she was happy about the rides she has gone on, or she was just happy that she had caused me embarrassment.
" Haha!" she laughed. " Too bad for you!!"
" please. Please. PLEASE. can we go into the haunted house. Or something! Anything that isn't Disney themed!!"
" but I hate haunted houses!!"
" and I hate going on rides where Mickey mouse greets you after. Come on!!"
I grabbed her hand, and we walked through the crowd towards the haunted house.
When we got there I was excited. This is the second good ride we have been on today!! Well, let's call it an attraction.
We got though the line, and into the haunted house.
A couple of times, things jumped out at us, we saw some dead bodies, and once I had a hand on my shoulder.
We had just turned the corner, still in the haunted house, when what was supposed to be a zombie, came up behind Lauren and put his arm around her neck, almost in the choking position. He did this for only a second, but Lauren immediately reacted, and screamed, and put her arms around me, practically squeezing the death out of me. Her face was buried into my chest.
I couldn't deny I enjoyed this touch. I wish I could put my arms around her, but she's only doing this because shes scared.
When the zombie disappeared, I took Lauren's hand, and lead her through the rest of the house. After she recuperated herself, she apologized for reacting that way, but honestly I didn't mind. She was clearly embarrassed she had done that, and slightly uncomfortable.
" Thank God it's over!!!" Lauren breathed a sigh of relief, and let go on my hand, which was practically bruising from how right she'd been gripping it. Ow.
" yeah. My fingers would've liked to get some blood circulation during that."
" Hey!! You're the one that dragged me in there!!"
" You were so scared!! I've never seen that side of you before!!"
" whatever!"
" Oh this is perfect!"
I noticed that there were big screens at the top of a booth of the entrance of the haunted house.
" no!! Pictures!!" Lauren cried, pointing at the picture we were in.
In the picture, Lauren had her arms gripped around me, and her head in my chest.
A elderly woman who was here waiting for her granddaughter to exit the house, noticed the picture and pointe to us, and said,
" oh, you children are so adorable. You must be so in love!! How long have you been together?"
Lauren's jaw dropped to the ground.
" oh were not-"
" yeah we're jus-"
" oh dearies!" the woman continued. " my granddaughter is here. What a gorgeous couple!"
The woman left Lauren and I in shock.
" well then." I said awkwardly.
" just going to pretend that didn't happen." she replied.
" Cotton candy?" I asked, pointing to a nearby stall.
" always." she said with a grin.
