Despite having put in your weeks vacation, you'd still gotten a call around 8 or 9 from your dick of a boss to come in, because someone was sick and he needed you there now. You'd made no attempt to hurry anything along, taking as much time as you wanted to get ready before finally getting in your car and starting your pain in the ass commute to work in the next town over. You hadn't gotten to sleep very early last night because your head had been filled with all sorts of questions and feeling sthat you couldn't place. You could have easily sat and talked with him the whole night and still not had enough, you almost wished as soon as you'd gotten home that you had taken up the offer of staying even...there was just something there that felt right about him and it was hard to ignore. You had no idea what had possessed you to ask him out tonight or even to kiss his cheek, which you still could feel the stubble against your lips now and it was ridiculous how that made you feel. What did you really expect to happen though, what were you expecting to happen tonight? What would you even do tonight? There was literally nothing here to do once the sun went down anymore, you remember being a teenager and driving around at night with other kids, but the police and gas prices had killed that off...not that he'd find it very fun anyway you guessed. The only place to waste time was at the mall in the next town over, and you'd be damned if you brought him to your place of work for a fun time.

By the time you get to work you're conflicted on how you feel about all this, the best case scenario you had with Linton was that you'd have two or three more days with him, at best, and you didn't think you could handle him leaving when the carnival did. So what could you do, it was obvious that you had a spark with him and you knew that he felt it too from the look on his face most of the night...you guessed you'd have to see how things worked out or just ask him. It doesn't take long for Ryan to pick up on your frazzled nerves and as soon as you're behind the counter he's leaning on it next to you, pretending to go over a receipt so that you both look busy.
"What's up?"
"Have a lot on my mind..."
"Spill it woman."
For the first time in a couple of years you really don't hold back, you want his opinion because he's outside of this all. "I went back yesterday."
"I figured you would. What happened?"
"We talked...all night until they closed up."
"And then?"
"He walked me to the gate..."
"You didn't go back to his place?"
"No...we just talked Ryan, that's it."
"What's he like?"
"He's funny...nice, he's very interesting."
"And you didn't sleep with him?"
"No!"
"Why the fuck not?"
"Because it didn't feel right..." It comes out more quiet than you mean it to.
"It didn't feel right?"
You shake your head, you know what he's thinking already.
"This isn't about feeling right..." He pauses and you don't have to be looking at him to feel his gaze on you. "What all did you do."
"I told you, we talked..."
"What else?"
"I might have kissed his cheek..."
"Skylar Marie...what the hell happened out there."

You spend the next half hour explaining your night to him and when you tell him you'd asked to hang out again tonight he snorts. "You made the first move?"
"I guess so..."
"Awwwwww my lil peanut has a date! What are you going to do though."
"I don't know...there isn't anything to do and I already asked him..." You sigh. "Not to mention i'm going to look so stupid."
"How so?"
You lift your arms gesturing to your work clothes. "Keith isn't going to let me off early and I won't have time to go home and change or wipe this shit off my face..."
"Oh shut up, you look hot." He puts his head in his hands. "Maybe he'll enjoy the view."
"I don't want him thinking that I got all dressed up..."
"He'll probably appreciate the fact you took the time...you do the dress code proud. If he doesn't-which I highly doubt will happen-you can always explain what happened."
"I just don't want to give him the wrong idea..." As soon as the words are out of your mouth you know they're a blatant lie.
"What? That this isn't a date?"
"Yes...it's hanging out."
He rolls his eyes. "Whatever helps you sleep at night...which maybe he'll help you with tonight huh?"
"I'm not like that..."
"You're twenty seven...if you want to sleep with him, then go and fuck him so good he forgets his name. Who cares how long you've known him...obviously you're a blushing teenager about him so what's the deal?"
You're quiet for a while before you put your face in your hands. "What the fuck was I thinking, I can't do this..."
"Do you really like him...I mean...really like him. Like you enjoy being around him and all that other romantic bullshit?"
"The longer i've been awake today the more I wish I'd have taken his offer to stay there with him....honestly."
"Maybe stay there tonight then...if he offers it." His tone is much softer than it was before and part of you feels just a little pathetic having this conversation with him.
"Should I bring him to my place?"
"Not yet...when you two figure out what is going on between you...maybe then would be a good time."

Sure enough, Keith makes sure that you're there up until the latest possible time you can leave without being late, you tell him its a family emergency though you haven't talked to them in years, he grudgingly lets you go around eight-thirty and by the time you drive back to town you're worried that Linton ay think you weren't going to show up. You make a straight line through the gate and down the midway turning right like you have every night this week and walking by all the rides that line the side. You pass groups of teenagers and kids that are out for the night enjoying the small bit of freedom they have and eventually you come to the second to last ride, his ride, which has an impressive line despite it being so close to time to close. He's busy enough running it by himself that he hasn't bothered to put any type of music on which is made up for by a ride a few spots down. He doesn't notice you at first but you can see the exact moment he does because you think that his eyes will fall out of his head if he's not careful, not to mention the fact that he just stands there for a good few seconds caught off guard and its hard not to turn a little pink under such a stare. Your work clothes are a far cry from what you normally wear, black skirt and top with your face made up and your hair done...you were sure that you looked entirely different. He walks over to the side of the platform and squats down so that he can talk to you easier, he gestures at you to come closer through the bars and you do, you can't shake the intensity of his gaze though and honestly you liked it.
"We start closing up soon...you can wait there or come up here if you want..."
You smile, of course you were going to go up there.

__________

It was a literal visual overload for you, to the point that you couldn't focus on anything else for a few seconds and you literally just stood there like an idiot. You'd thought she was drop dead in a T-shirt and shorts with no make up and her hair thrown up out of the way...this was another level entirely. Everything she had on fit her in such a complimenting way...the skirt showed off her hips while her shirt hugged her chest and a smaller waist, though you could see in the snug clothing that as slim as she was, there was a nice amount of fluff to her. It really made you wish that her clothes were gone. She had come up to sit next to you and suddenly having her this close to you looking the way she did made your nerves ten times worse than they were yesterday. You'd done a pretty good job about not letting your thoughts linger on her and so far it had been pretty easy with how busy you'd been...but now that she was here, you didn't know how the fuck you were going to manage tonight or even better how you were going to be able to manage to behave yourself because fuck if you didn't want to just have her right here. When you regain the ability to speak, you look over at her and feel your neck heat up a bit, the way she's sitting is giving you just the nicest view of her legs...jesus fuck how were you going to do this.
"So, what is the plan tonight?" You're voice comes out surprisingly smooth despite how much chaos is going on in your head.
"I'm not sure...I didn't really think it through when I asked, almost nothing is open after ten..."
"That is quite the predicament isn't it..."
"Unless you want to walk around or something...but I figured after working all day out here you wouldn't want to do that."
"Maybe when it's cooler out that wouldn't be such a bad idea..." You pause for a few seconds because what you want to suggest sounds bad no matter how you turn the words in your head. "We could always just go back to my place...talk or watch a movie or something." You aren't sure if the look on her face looks like anxiousness or excitement so you clarify yourself quickly. "I promise I won't do anything."
"Ok.."
"I'll warn you though, it's not big or amazing..."
She starts to laugh and at first you can't figure out why, then you replay what you'd just said back in your head and it hits you and you can't help but chuckle as well.

When close comes around, you shut everything off and turn away a few stragglers before offereing her a hand, much like you did last night the only difference being that once you pull her up you don't let go of her. You do however watch her face carefully, you don't want her thinking that you'll try anything shady...you actually want tonight to go well.
"Ready?"
"Mhm."
You lead her down the path she came in on and back through the midway, which is starting to get dark as people close up for the night, instead of going right to the gate you left her at yesterday though you turn left and go behind a couple of trailers behind a food vendor. Most people in your little camp are either sitting in groups around small fires and talking or sitting with their family or alone in front of their tents and campers enjoying the last night of calm before the clusterfuck of the weekend comes. You glance back at her a few times and she's looking around like its the most interesting thing she's seen in her life, other than that though she's not showing much and she hasn't let go of your hand either. It's not lost on you when you pass Simon's pop-up that he's sitting outside and watching you walk by with her, you can only imagine what he was thinking was going to happen tonight...Shit what were you even expecting to happen tonight? This was essentially as close to a legitimate date as you'd ever been in your adult life and you weren't even sure if she thought the same way about it. If she didn't though it didn't explain the constant blush that her makeup couldn't manage to hide and the undeniable tension that there was between the two of you, wether she wanted to admit it or not. As you get closer to your home you think about how big of a leap this is for you, not a single girl you'd ever been involved with had seen where you live, and that was even when you lived in the bunkhouse with Simon and the others...normally you just kicked Simon out of his room for an hour and they'd never be the wiser of where you actually stayed. You'd wanted it that way though, you'd never wanted anything serious in the least when you had done that.

You stop a couple of yards away and lift up your arm towards your place. "This is it."
You can see a small smile lift up the corner of her mouth. "Thought you said it was small..."
"It is, compared to some of the other things parked out here." You nod your head to the larger campers and the even rarer pair of RV's that are scattered about.
"No...I thought you meant like a tent or something, this looks nice actually."
"Thanks...I worked my ass off for two seasons to afford this..."
She doesn't answer at first but when she does it surprises you. "Well...you still have a nice one so it must have been huge before."
You just look at her, she really is too good to completely real at this moment and you figure what the hell and join in on it. "You have no idea...Very huge."
The whole time you mess with your keys and manage to get the door open you feel awkward though you really don't know why. As an adult you found it a little dumb that you were reacting this way to having a female in your home...though at the same time maybe you were awkward because deep down you wanted to make a move on her even if it was just a kiss...you could be happy with that even. When you'd suggested she come over you really had no ulterior motive other than to spend time with her but now that she was here...you were doubting your ability to keep this clean so you try to distract yourself.
"Make yourself comfortable...also think about what you want to watch..." You turn and point behind you to the small corner shelf that sits in the corner of the dinnete. "I have more than that, just can't keep them all in here.
You see her slide her feet out of her shoes before walking past you to look at what you had, its hard to ignore how close she is because of the narrow path but you quickly excuse yourself to the bathroom, you really wanted to change, and maybe not smell like death before you tried to get cozy.

Once you're behind the closed door you immediately throw your clothes into the shower and make quick work of them, anything that you could do to calm yourself because this was ridiculous, you were a grown ass man and she was a grown ass woman...there was no need to feel this way with her...nothing had changed from yesterday. She was still the same awesome girl you'd talked to and had fallen just a bit more for for it. You scrub at yourself like your life depends on how clean you are and after about five minutes you get out and throw on something much more comfortable. It's much cooler inside than outside but its still warm so you settle on a band shirt you'd ripped the sleeves off of and those oh so comfortable shorts you'd been thinking about all day. You feel more at ease, and after hanging up your clothes to dry you come back out to see her sitting on the couch with her legs bent in front of her, she smiles when she sees you before she holds up what she'd chosen, her smile getting bigger.
"I'm not gonna lie...I thought you'd go for an oldie..."
"But this one is just as good."
"It's not scary though."
"None of them are if you think about it."
"Alright...let me get everything set up"
You hear a quiet sound of victory from the couch before you head back to your room and grab the side stand...one of the only downsides with this place was that it had spots for a flatscreen tv...you didn't own one though so you had had to make the small tv you did have work...with lots of cords. You let the tv down and start messing around with the hookups and before long you have it ready so you walk over to her and she hands you the movie with a smile. You can't help but return it before turning and setting to work getting this night started.

"I love how it's just this huge homage to all sorts of movies." You are about half way through and she's gone from staying pretty much on her side of the couch to half leaning against you and at first you hadn't really minded...actually you didn't mind it at all. You were enjoying it, but the longer you stayed like that the more you wanted to do something, like put your arm around her among other things. You hadn't even really been paying attention to the movie because you'd seen it a thousand times and you were sure that she had too.
"It does a good job of it thats for sure."
She turns her head and looks at you, you're very aware of how close she really is but you try to ignore it. "You know what my absolute favorite part is?"
"Hm?"
"When she lets all of the monsters out."
You chuckle and it makes you relax a little. "Why am I not surprised."
"I mean it, there are some interesting deaths in that part."
"That damn unicorn..."
You feel her head drop back against your shoulder as she laughs and though you're laughing too its hard to ignore how her closeness is affecting you. You move her off of you and stand up, asking if she wants anything to drink, when she shakes her head she's quiet for a few moments before you hear her speak up again.
"Hey...Linton?"
"Hm?"
"Do you mind if I take this off? It's getting uncomfortable..."
You don't even look up but you nod, you wanted her to be comfortable. "Go for it."
"Thank you so much, I thought I was going to die in this thing."
When you turn back around all the blood in your head heads straight south and you can't rightly focus on anything except the fact that she's definitely made herself comfortable. She still has on her skirt but she'd taken her shirt off, now she only had on a tiny undershirt and you could see her bra through it...and from the look on her face she knew the reaction she'd get.

___________

It hadn't initially been about being forward, you hadn't come here with the intention of getting anywhere with him...but there was no way that he didn't feel the awkward tension between the two of you...it was way to obvious. You supposed he was trying to behave himself and whenever you could see his eyes start to get dark he'd get up or otherwise distract himself with something...it was sort of cute actually. You had never been the forward one before and with the way he was looking at you it felt a little embarrassing, what if you were majority misreading things here and he was actually disgusted by the idea. You'd wanted to know what all these feelings were about...was it just a sexual interest or was it more than that...you wanted to know and the only way to lead into it seemed to make this tension more unbearable until one of you broke it...and you didn't rightly care how it got broken.
"You going to come back over?"
"Yeah..."
You can feel your face heat up when you realize that he isn't even attempting to hide the growing erection he has, you start to wonder if this is the right thing suddenly and you start to doubt your ability to handle this. When he sits down, he stis at the other end of the couch and by this point the movie isn't on either of your minds. You chew on your lip a little before you scoot yourself over to him and lean your head back against his shoulder again, he doesn't look at you but he does move his arm so that it's across your shoulders...which feels lovely.
"Why is this awkward..."
"I don't know..."
The short answer makes you feel uncomfortable, and you start to worry that maybe you've made him angry. "Was it the kiss?"
He shakes his head before answering, you can hear him struggling a bit to keep his voice even though. "No...honestly...I fucking loved the kiss."
"Is it the way I'm dressed?"
"No...I don't know what it is...but it is definitely not you..." You can feel his hand on your arm as he gives it a small squeeze. "You're perfect."
"Is it-"
"It's because I'm trying really hard to keep myself from doing anything to you when all I really want is to do a lot of things." It comes out so sternly that you don't even dare question it, he keeps his eyes forward, staring off in the direction of the tv but not really paying attention to it. "I'm confused by all of this..."
You nod and let yourself sink into his side a little more, he doesn't make any move to push you away so you enjoy it.
"I've not felt like this with anyone before...I'll admit I'm scared by this."
"I don't want this...to just be a fuck and be the end of it..." He pauses and you feel his arm tighten slightly around you.
"We've only known each other for three days..."
"I know...I've never had something like this, felt this strongly about someone in my life."
You sigh. "I can't help but feel that you say that to all the girls..."
"Sky, I haven't fucked anyone in years...I know that this is all..quick and shit but..."
"But..."
"I want to see where this goes...even if it's just for the week..."
You lean your head back against him again but you stay silent, you didn't know if he was serious or not, but you wanted to believe him. You wanted to believe that this man sitting here with you was for real but a small part of you still doubted him...you knew that guys would say anything to get their dick wet and he was simply too good to be true already. "What if we wanted more than just this week..."
"I don't know." He still hasn't looked at you and a small tug in your gut tells you that you need to see his eyes.
"Look at me."

When he doesn't move or answer you, you sit up straight and in a bold move you put your hands on his face and turn his head so that he has no choice but to look at you. You're met with green eyes that are much darker than you remember them being and his face is almost unreadable, he keeps your gaze for a long time until you feel the urge to kiss him so you once again don't give yourself the chance to over think your actions. Instead you lean in and press your lips against his and hold him like that for what feels like forever until your rational mind catches up to you. You instantly let go of his face and pull away , feeling your face burn from embarrassment...what the fuck had you been thinking...you knew this wouldn't end well. This whole night had been an awkward mess and you'd just made it worse.
"I'm so sorry...I don't know what I was thinking..."
He doesn't answer you...he doesn't even really move, he looks like he's in a slight amount of shock and it only fuels your apologies.
"I should go...I'm sorry..oh my god I'm so sorry, I don't know where that came from..."
You stand up awkwardly and grab your work shirt and shoes before turning to walk down the small steps to the door. You're so focused on getting out of this situation that you you only focus on getting to the door, your face is burning and you can't explain the mix of deep sadness and embarrassment that floods out of your stomach. You are almost to the door and as your fingers reach out and brush the metal of the screen you feel a rough, strong hand grab your other arm, you don't get a chance to question him before he has you pulled back up the steps with a bit of force though it doesn't hurt at all. The second your back makes contact with his chest you feel his arms wrap around you over your own and the earlier embarrassment you felt is replaced by a firey need for him to take this farther than it is.

You feel his face against your ear and his arms get tighter.
"Shut up and stop apologizing." He makes a point of pressing his hips against you and its impossible not to feel him.
"What is this..."
"Believe me or don't, I have never...in my fucking life...felt like this about anyone."
You open your mouth to answer him but you get cut short when you feel his mouth on yours, suddenly there is nothing else except you and him and when he pulls back you let out a frustrated sound that even you can't explain. You don't have time either, he turns you around almost harshly and before you can make any argument he has his hands on your lower back and is pulling you into him again, lips on yours again, hands sliding down over the curve of your ass and when you feel his tongue run over your bottom lip it sends a sharp jolt between your legs that you haven't felt in a long time. All of it leaves you feeling much too warm and when he pulls back again you don't let him get away easily, you dig your hands into his hair and pull him back to you. The force of it pulls him forward and into you pushing you back into the wall beside the door and it doesn't take long for him to take advantage of the situation by pinning you up against it hard. He takes both your hands and holds them down when he pulls back again and for a long time the only noise inside is the sound of the dvd menu playing on repeat and both of you breathing heavily.
"Is this still awkward?"
His words don't quite break through your hazy thoughts but after a few moments you shake your head, you don't trust yourself to talk honestly...he's so close to you that you can feel his chest rise and fall with each breath and more maddeningly was the fact you could feel his cock digging into your hip. You'd never wanted to get someone naked so badly in your life and when he speaks again its like he knows what you're thinking.
"I want nothing more...than to rip these clothes off of you and do unspeakable things...but I can't do that to you."
You lean your head back against the wall trying to calm your breathing a little. "What?"
"This...it doesn't feel right to fuck you like this...you're not like anyone else and I refuse to let it happen like this..."
"I don't understand...what do you mean?"
He smiles leans forward so that his forehead is against yours, the gesture is both incredibly sweet but also makes you want to kiss him again, because god damn did he know how to do that. "I've had my share of fucks Sky...I don't want you to be just another one."
You nod slowly...it was a strange admission to make given the fact that you both were two steps away from practically fucking against a wall...but you felt a strange fuzzy feeling at it. Certainly it wasn't because he'd said he'd had a lot of girls...though you suspected it given the fact he was a carny...even if that was a bit judgmental. If what he was saying was the truth...and it was a huge if...he hadn't been with anyone for a long time...it was hard to believe being as good looking as he was but you'd heard stranger things you supposed. If he was being honest with you, and you prayed to god that he was...he didn't see you as another notch in his belt...but you weren't sure what kind of relationship you could have with someone that you hadn't known long...and would be leaving in a few days. It all led back to the question of what this was...and you didn't think either of you had an answer for that.
