With a small leap on each of her steps, Cassidy walked over to a nearby stand.
Adrian went and followed her in silence. That's when he realized that they were standing in front of some shooting game that involved using a toy gun to knock down a certain number of cans. He smiled a little and let out a sigh at this, finding it typical of her to feel thrilled about something as small as this.
Seeing how ecstatic she was to play a round, he handed the game attendant a ticket and let her give it a try. With a smug and boastful smirk, she turned to look at him before she picked up the toy gun.
"Watch me win, Adrian!" she chirped in high spirits, endearing him with how cheery and vivacious she was.
It's already obvious to him that the game is easy enough for her to win.
Then again, she did hold a real gun before. For this one, all she needed to do was shoot the cans down within a specific time limit. She ended up winning with ease like what he expected. And as uninterested as he was, he could not help but share her little moment of joy.
"You did well," he praised her like how a parent would do it to his child.
"Thank you~! I did my best!" she giggled, playing along.
It's clear to Adrian that Cassidy has always been the definition of pure and innocent.
Ever since he met her, he knew that there's something about her that could never be tainted nor defiled no matter how nasty or messed up her life became. For being able to keep that purity and innocence of hers, she is very strong - and he deeply admires her for that.
"Here you go, Adrian!" Cassidy beamed at him, making him snap out of his thoughts.
Right then, Adrian sees her holding out a white headband to him - the prize she most probably won from the shooting game. Without asking him, she went ahead and placed it over his head. She then looked at him proudly while he only stared back at her in surprise.
"It looks good on you," she commented, nodding her head in approval
"You silly girl..." he laughed a little, endeared once more.
"You played that game just to give me the headband?"
"I thought it would suit you. And it did! But then again, you'd look good in anything."
With a smitten look, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. He then gave her a kiss on the forehead before he did the same on her lips. She returned the gesture with a sweet giggle while he let out a sigh in bliss.
He can never get enough of the taste of her lips as well as her scent that keeps taunting him to explore around. He loves the way her skin feels against his, and he loves the way her fingers play around with his hair as he holds her tightly. He just loves everything about her. He had never longed for someone with so much thrist and hunger as he did to her.
Adrian wanted more, but then, he felt Cassidy tense up all of the sudden.
"Cassidy?"
She pulled away from him and turned more stiff, taking him aback. He started to get worried right then, wondering what was wrong. She was no longer smiling, and with that, she began to pull him away from there.
"Cassidy, are you okay...?" Adrian called out to her once more, trying to talk her out of it.
"Please, tell me what's wrong."
"I have this feeling. I'm not sure what it really is, but I can feel it," Cassidy muttered underneath her breath.
He can now feel her trembling slightly as she slowly comes to a halt. She then snapped her eyes shut, gripping his hand tightly.
"Adrian, I have this feeling that someone is following us. It's getting on my nerves now."
His eyes widened at that.
Though caught off guard, he tried to stay calm and restrained himself from looking back. If he takes a look, he is afraid he will only make things obvious.
"Someone's there...?" Adrian breathed out, turning stern and serious.
"How long have you been feeling this?"
"It's been a while now..." Cassidy replied, keeping herself together and taking a deep breath before leaning closer to him.
"At first, I thought it was just my imagination. I thought it's only Asher and the others, but that's not it at all. I can't ignore it anymore. I can really feel that someone's following us."
"Alright. Calm down. It'll be fine."
He reassured her even though he was a little unnerved himself. Thinking of what to do, he then wrapped his arms around her shoulders and tried to act like there's nothing wrong. They had to fool whoever was stalking them.
Yet as soon as he noticed how much it was making his wife distraught, he started to lose his cool - he hates seeing her this way.
"It's going to be okay, Cassidy. I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
He thought of a number of people who could be behind this. Every single person that hated him went through his mind. If someone was really following them, he had several means to bust them out. But to get himself out of doubt, he decided to do what he could at that moment.
Adrian slowly turns around.
And sure enough, he saw a man staring at them from a distance - observing intently and looming silently. He made eye contact with him for a fraction of time, and he took that chance to give him a menacing glare.
"Come on, Cassidy."
With that, Adrian reached out and grabbed Cassidy by the hand. At that exact same time, he saw the man smirking at him schemingly.
There was no way that Adrian was about to risk it. He could take that creep on any day, but he didn't want to expose Cassidy to any danger. Pulling her away from there, he just silently cursed at him for ruining their evening like this.
"Let's go back to the others."
With a small leap on each of her steps, Cassidy walked over to a nearby stand.
