Camerron's Point of View
The noise inside the bus reigned when it was announced to us that we were going to an amusement park next as our last route. Almost everyone was so excited, the others almost jumped out of the bus window in great joy. Me? I am just sitting here, I feel a little enjoyment but not like them.
I looked at Nial next to me, he just closed his eyes as if he didn't care about the noise around us. I know he's just closed his eyes and he's not sleeping because he's been trying to tease me just a while ago. If he wasn't just handsome to me, I would have thrown him out the window earlier.
I remember the man in my dream, he also had a gentle face. He really looked like him.
"I’ll surely melt if keep staring at me."
I suddenly looked back at him because he suddenly spoke? How did he know I was looking at him?
"'Don't feel that way Master," I answered innocently, I saw his smile, damn handsome.
Our trip was also almost short when we arrived at the amusement park which was our last destination.
"Wait, slow down."
I pulled Nial as we entered the entrance. I’m become excited upon seeing the big and tall rides.
"Hurry up!" I held his hand as he walked fast.
"You know, you're very thin but you're as strong as a buffalo."
I stare at him angrily.
I went straight to the rides but he forced me to go around first. I don’t know what his problem is. I told him we can go around later but he insisted.
"I'll give you ice cream if we go there.”
I was forced to sit in the chair of an ice cream house where he took me. He's annoying, I really want to go to the rides. Even though I get dizzy quickly I’m not afraid of heights so I’m still excited to try the rides here.
I was not in the mood and did not speak while eating the ice cream he bought for me.
"Could you please stop frowning? Have you forgotten my wish already?"
I turned to him and smiled very wide sarcastically.
"That's fake" He narrowed his eyes.
I’m not really in the mood to smile at him. I really wanted to go to the rides here. I’m sure the others are already enjoying there and here we are, just sitting here and eating ice cream. I stopped talking and just continued eating.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
He stood in front of me and touched my two shoulders, so I looked up at him.
"Don’t get me wrong, master. I appreciate this, but-" I can’t finish what I’m about to say. I don’t want him to feel that I’m not enjoying being with him now.
"You know what? I’ll take you there because you’re cute. "
"H-hey! What?"
I suddenly felt my cheeks turn red. He brought his face closer to mine while still holding my shoulder. He continues to come closer until our face almost touch each other.
"What, let me go!" I tried to avoid him because he was really getting closer. But he didn’t listen, he just stares me for a second.
“I’ll take you to those rides but call me master first.” His voice is serious and at the same time, seducing. Omg! I wanted to melt, and I feel like I’m started to sweat.
I answer quickly as if hypnotized, “okay, master.”
He suddenly pulled me to my surprise.
"Where will we go?"
"We're going to take the rides."
I automatically smiled, yes, I find it a sweet act.
I was amazed at the rides in front of me. Now that I'm here I don't know what I'm going to ride first. I wanted to ride everything until I get dizzy.
In the end I pulled him into the queue of ferries wheel. I remember when mommy and I used to ride here, I miss that so much. Because of my illness we don't get to go to places like this much anymore. As well as when my Daddy died.
"Are you sure you're going to ride there?"
He said while looking so anxious, don't tell me he will stop me again.
"Of course, just follow me."
"What if we eat first?"
"Heck, we just finished ice cream. I don't want to gain weight."
"Okay, let's just wander around, I saw some place there, I’m sure you'll like it," he insisted.
What’s his problem? He told me we’ll take the rides but now he’s acting like that.
"What's your problem Master?"
He just averted his eyes as his hands entered his pockets.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking what if we ~"
"Wait, don't you want to ride here?" I cut him off.
I gave him a malicious look, as if I knew what his problem was.
"I'm not in the mood," he replied calmly as he avoided looking at me.
"Because?"
"Don't ask any more questions." Suddenly his voice growled, what? I'm not doing anything to him.
"Don't tell me… are you scared?" I couldn’t really control myself anymore so I laughed out loud.
"Of course not!"
I couldn't really stop my laughter because of his reaction so I feel like people are already looking at me with the excessive force of my laughter. It's a good thing the line is still long so I still have time to retaliate by teasing him.
"Stop laughing."
He said seriously while looking at me.
"Why are you so defensive?"
"No, I’m not!"
Omg. He looks very in denial. This is so funny.
"Just admit it, master. Promise I won’t tell anyone."
I won't really tell anyone, but of course I'm sure I'll laugh at him.
"Tss, fine. Yeah."
"I'm afraid of heights."
He avoided looking at me while he still looked serious.
Even though I laughed at him, I really used my full effort to stop my laughter.
"Seriously? First you were scared of the hospital and now of the heights? Seriously, are you really a man?"
"How did you know I was scared in the hospital?" he suddenly looked with a shocked look.
"Ha? It’s our turn already! Let’s go!" I changed the topic.
His face became so nervous. I really want to laugh.
"Err, it's okay. You don't have to go with me if you're really scared." I told him when a sudden guilt hit me.
"I wish I could," he hissed.
He whispered to himself as he stared at the ferries wheel in front of us. I know he can do that, if he only face his fear.
But as a genie of my great Master, I immediately thought of doing something. I suddenly pulled him.
"H-hey what are you doing?"
He stopped and pulled me back. I can’t do anything but to face him because he’s too strong compared to me.
"We'll ride." I raised my eyebrow while he frowned.
"You said ‘I wish I could’" I murmured, trying to imitate him.
"But I cannot." The fear on his face was severe.
"How can you say that you can’t? You don’t even tried it yet."
I didn’t let him to say any words anymore. I hold his hand tightly and dragged him to sit on the Ferris wheel. Even though there was a disagreement with his appearance, I still pulled him and forced him to sit down. I told him not to move because the operating staff will lock our seat.
"I don't think it's a good idea."
"I really think it is."
We sat facing each other.
"Kuya go na! We're ready."
I was so excited that I shouted at the operator.
"Cams I need to get down, I really can't make it!" he is really frightened.
"Shhhh! Keep quiet and just ejoy the moment. I know you’ll love it!"
"Shit!"
I heard him cursed when the Ferris wheel started to move. If he could only hear my laughter in my brain, he might reject me as his Genie.
Soon I just saw myself screaming. This is so fun!
When I looked at Nial, he closed his eyes while holding the chair tightly. I can’t count how many times he cursed as we circled. If only he could see his reaction right now. Imagine a guy who is so handsome and manly is terrified to ride at the Ferris wheel.
With so much noise due to the other riders like me shouting I don't know if he's saying anything to me, I’m just enjoying the moment.
Eventually, our rotation slowed down. Omg! This is it! The most awaited part here. This is the moment when you can see the whole area from above. The timing is also very good because it's already night so you can see the different lights below. The beautiful city lights!
I looked at Nial but he still closing his eyes, no, he can't miss such a beautiful view.
"Open your eyes Master, you will definitely be happy with what you will see!" I shouted at him so he could hear me.
"No!"
"You have to, go ahead Master!"
I reached for him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Just tell them to stop this thing! I want to go down!"
He looks so pale and he also looks disgusted. He really wants to come down but I won't let my fulfillment of his wish not be worth it.
I tried to approach him and held his hand that was still holding the handle of the chair, he was obviously surprised because of that. I removed his grip on the handle of the chair so I could hold him tightly in his hands.
"How can you see the world if you don't open your eyes."
"I told you, I'm afraid of heights!"
"Me too, I also have things to fear."
It's true, the time I found out that my life is about to end, I was also very scared. I do not know what to do. I thought about my dreams that I will never fulfill and all the people who love me and I love, especially my mom.
I took a deep breath before continuing to speak.
"I was scared but I still chose to face and fight my fear. Because nothing will happen if I continue to be scared, right? You don't have to be afraid of the world. Open your eyes to see how beautiful it is."
He took a deep breath, I don't know what's on his mind but I hope my words works on him. His appearance has calmed down a bit but he still has his eyes closed.
"Open your eyes Master we are close to the peak."
"But ..."
"There's nothing wrong with trying, I'm just here."
I tightened the grip on his hands. He slowly opened his eyes which were even more shocked because we had already stopped at the highest point, I could see even more the beauty of the whole area.
I could feel the weak trembling of his hands. I know it's hard to fight his fear but it's a good thing that I convinced him to fight it.
I just stared at his face as he watched the scene below. There was still a trace of fear on his face but it didn't last long. He was like a child who suddenly smiled because of what he saw.
"See, I told you Master, it is beautiful."
It's so beautiful but I still prefer to stare at his face while smiling.
He looked around and shift his eyes to me. I don't know but my world seems to have stopped, it's like he's the only one I see all around. I feel like I’m in a dream again, like I flashback all my dreams with him.
Because of how I feel now, I no longer have to doubt if he really is the man of my dreams. That's him, I'm sure.
All I could feel was the strong beating of my heart and the way he held my hands.
"Yeah, it is definitely beautiful." He suddenly spoke as we stared at each other.
Now, even though the whole area is vague to me, only one thing is clear to me, that the man in front of me has a special part in my life.
MY MASTER'S WISH #5: I hope he can fight his fear.
