kid. People are dressed in period clothing and are walking around in character. I look over at Luke and he looks like he has no idea what to say, and right now I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. He wraps one hand around my waist, pulls me close and looks down at me. “This place is actually pretty cool; do you want to start exploring?”
We walk around and look at the different shops and food stands, just getting a grasp for everything that they have to offer. When we come to one stand, Luke grabs my hand and pulls me over to where they have some big barrels. I look at the sign and see it’s a booth where you can make wax molds of your hands. There were many different molds of people’s hands in different positions placed around the booth: two hands being held together like they were praying, a thumbs up, a peace sign, a fist, and just a regular hand. They all look so cool and I’m entranced by all of the different colors and designs when Luke grabs my hand.
“Do you want to make one?” I look up at him, smile and nod my head. When I start to let go of his hand to walk over to the barrels, he pulls me back. “I want to make one together; the guy said that we can do one holding hands. I thought it might be something cool to have.”
We walk over together and the guy who’s running it explains how we need to keep our hands very still. There are giant barrels filled with different liquids. He tells us to place our hands into the first, which is really hot wax, then into the next, which I think is just cold water. We do this process a couple of times, trying to keep our hands still and trying not to trip over each other. After we do it about three times he comes over and lifts our hands out. The wax mold looks so cool! He gently shimmies the mold off and our hands are finally free. He tells us to let it sit and harden and we can come back to pick it up before we leave.
Luke and I walk around the rest of the day, stopping to eat here and there. When he decides to try to eat a drumstick that was half the size of his head, I have to snap a picture. Toward the end of the day everyone starts making their way over to the big arena to watch the red and blue knights get into a fight and a joust. I start to sit down next to Luke when we get to the stands, but he pulls me down to sit on his lap and wraps his arms around my waist. I tense up at first, wondering if I might end up crushing him by the end of the show, but quickly get over it and relax.
I lean back against him, amazed at how comfortable I already feel in his arms. Something about having him wrap his arms around me makes me feel so safe and protected. I turn my head to the side to find him looking at me; he smiles and leans in to kiss me. We sit like this for the rest of the show, and when it’s over, I dread having to get up and move. I’m so comfortable when I’m with him and I really can’t understand why because it’s totally not in my character to be this way with any guy.
I’m really surprised that no one has recognized him all day. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this is the last place anyone would expect him to be, but his only disguise is a tattered baseball hat. We stop by the stand to pick up the wax mold before heading back to the car.
I don’t realize how tired I am until we get into the car, and at some point on the ride home I fall asleep. The next time I open my eyes, I’m in his arms and he’s walking us into the hotel room.
I relax and let myself mold into his chest, realizing that I already never want to leave.
Chapter Five
Lucas
When we’d pulled up to the Faire today, I had my doubts that it would ever be something I might be into, but I think this has been one of the best days I’ve had in a while. I know it has everything to do with a Becca; this girl is so different from anyone I have ever met before. She has a positive outlook on everything
