Excited

Nervous

Electrified

I don't know what I am feeling right now, but whatever it is, it's making me, not able to sit at one place with calm. I am in my room and I have practically counted every inch of my room with my legs. I am walking, I am jumping on the bed, I am crawling. I think I will be rolling on the floor in sometime.

Hunter is a hair stylist.

The information was way to much to take in. I remember how he was working, making everything look so easy but, I know it was not easy at all. I want to ask him so many questions but I don't know if he knows that, the rapunzel with a beard was actually me.

The look he gave me though.

So after running out of the salon and practically making the car fly, we returned the hat, coat and the beard, which was hard to get off, to the guy back. He was quite a sweet guy. He introduced himself as Dave, He was in middle school with Brandon, Des's older brother. These guys go way back. And I think, he has a crush on Des , which she totally denied but, I know she is that dumb.

She couldn't figure out, how badly this guy liked her, in ninth grade, when he offered her, his cookie and asked her to be her partner. She thought he was asking her to be her partner in the science project. She told the poor guy, she already had a partner, which was me and the guy was left heartbroken and short of one cookie.

No matter how smart she tells herself to be in relationships stuff, she is far, far away from being called smart.

I was in the room, I came back around eight to find out that Damien was already here with my stuff from my mother's. That poop coloured luggage was sitting right in the centre of my room. It took me like half an hour to make Martha calm and understand, that it was just a prank to scare her. And it was all Des's idea. I had to blame it on someone. I couldn't possibly tell her that I was stalking Hunter.

I know her and how desperately she wants me to have a boyfriend. Telling her this, would probably mean, giving her the green single to book my honeymoon tickets in advance. When I first told her about my previous relationship, I could practically see her, imagining her, playing with some grandchildren.

It won't be a surprise to me if she already named them too.

I feel so tired.

So much has happened today, my mother ruined her wedding dress, gave birth to a cute little boy, got married in a hospital, I stalked Hunter though out the town scratching my beard, him working as a hair stylist, us practically flying out of the salon, him standing right in front me...

Standing right in front of me?

Hunter??

"Aahhhh." I jumped up, due to the reverse action of the mattress, I bounced back. So now I looked like, I am little girl with two pigtails, bouncing on my mattress asking for chocolate ice cream.

Hunter looked like he wanted to laugh badly, but he was using up all of his strength not to. He put his hand on his face making his biceps flex.

It's a great view.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him. I have to act like I haven't seen him in like two days, not today and last we talked was on phone after the study session night. During the horrible night we call as rehearsal dinner.

"I wanted to talk to you, Danny." He told me. Why, his voice's so raspy? Why is he looking at me with that amused expression?

"Uh-eh-yeah?" I can't even say a yes properly. Why am I so hopeless?

"So how was the wedding? Enjoyed?" He asked. Oh! So he wanted to catch up. Well that's easy. Sure we can catch up. Calm Danny.

Calm.

I told him all that happened from the morning and by the time I finished he was practically on the floor laughing. I was laughing too by the end of the story, I really didn't get the chance to think it all and how funny all of it was.

"So your mother, who was practically ripping everyone's eyes out, just so the wedding could go right, had to marry in a hospital?? In a hospital gown? Well at least she had something borrowed." He said that which made me laugh so hard that it started hurting my stomach.

"It was blue also." That made Hunter laugh even more.

"I can't take it anymore." Now we both were on the floor sitting in front of each other and wiping the tears from our eyes. This is the first time in days I am this happy. I never thought I will be sitting on my bedroom floor in the middle of the night, having chit chat with Hunter about my day and will actually enjoy it.

It was unbelievable yet happening.

"So Kyle told me, how worried you were for me, the day I didn't show up for the study session?" Well that came out of nowhere.

I was looking at him with open mouth. I was worried until Kyle told me he was on his job. But telling Hunter that and boosting his self esteem? No.

"Of course not, I was just angry you didn't keep your promise. And you were not even picking up your-"

"He told me you practically ignored blondie and came running to Kyle, asking if I was okay." Oh no.

Remind me to kill Kyle later.

"Did it seem like I ignored blond- uh Jake? Oh my god. I didn't intended it to look like that. It's just that you, uh car, uh tree. It's all you fault. You are a terrible driver." I told him and crossed my arms in front of my chest. Hunter was utterly confused to what I just said now. I was confused too.

He paused for a moment.

" I am an excellent driver." He told. Someone is offended.

"No you are not, you drive with your elbow out."

"You certainly pay a lot of attention to me Danny. Do you like me?" He was smirking now. In seconds his smirk grew into a wide grin as he saw my shocked expression and sealed shut mouth. I don't. I guess. I. Hopeless Danny.

Suddenly he moved forward and sat right in front of me. He put his right hand on my head and patted it. "It's alright. I like you too." He told me with the most genuine smile I could ever see. The dim light coming from the street made his green eyes glow.

I didn't know what to say or do. I had a ticklish feeling in my stomach. Without any thought I lifted my hand up and put it on his head, mirroring the patting motion he just did.

His hair are extremely soft. I really didn't say anything. I just patted softly on his head. His eyes went wide too.

Both of us were now staring at each other with our hands on each other's head. I don't know why but it was the first time in two days I actually felt calm and relaxed.

We removed our hands but were still staring at each other. His eyes were no longer wide, they were calm and happy, not so soon as they changed to being their old amused twinkling green ones.

"So, where did you get that beard from, it looked pretty real." He asked me, smirking to a whole new level. I knew he recognised me.

There is no turning back now Danny. You have been caught. You have been caught beard handed.

I was speechless, I couldn't say anything. How could I say I was following him.

Creepy stalker alert.

"How did you recognise me?" I asked him, it was a mere whisper.

"I keep a close check on my surroundings Danny, you guys were following me from my home. Truthfully, you could just ask me where I work, you didn't have to go through all the trouble of failed detective attempt." He told me, there was a hint of mischief in his voice.

Failed detectives?? We are great detectives.

"So why didn't you tell me before?" I asked him.

"I just couldn't muster up the courage, I mean, I love doing this, just that some people make fun of it when they first hear it, and I knew you would never do that, but telling you on my own was a difficult task, so I just let you guys follow me and find out on your own."

"Well I think you are really good at what you do, and if it is your passion then I don't think you should worry about what other people think of it. It just makes you even cooler."

That just made him grin." So you think I am cool?" This boy.

"You should have told me before, I was going to peel my skin off because of that beard."

I told him, I could still feel the itchiness.

"I actually didn't know you guys were dressed up like that, I recognised Destiny's car and then I saw you guys upstairs. Truthfully, I can't tell you, how hard it was for me not to laugh and maintain a poker face. You looked like Jack Sparrow." He said that and started laughing at his own stupid joke. I didn't at all looked like Jack Sparrow.

May be a little.

"Oh come on we are pretty good detectives." I said confidently. I could pat my back any moment now.

"Yes. I believe you both will be hired in the next Sherlock Holmes movie." That made me pout and Hunter laugh even more.

"I hope you remember about tomorrow." He asked me. What ? What is tomorrow? Anyone's birthday?

" In my defence I was completely occupied these past few days. I was getting tortured by my mother and her rants. Man she is scary." That made him chuckle.

"We are going to the amusement park tomorrow." He told me with the biggest smile on his face.

Now I think of it, I like his smile.

................................................................................

"For the last time Brody, hand back the sandwich." I told Brody a little louder this time. He is holding my dear Nutella sandwich in his hand right now. God knows what will happen if he dropped it.

I am going to faint.

"For the last time Danny, let me have one. I am hungry and seriously how can you eat three sandwiches being that small." Oh he didn't. He made fun of my height.

I can see Hunter chuckling from the side. "Eyes on the road mister." I told him. To which he just shook his head and continued driving. We were currently in Hunter's truck heading towards the amusement park. Me, Hunter and Brody were in Hunter's car and closely followed by Ethan, Des and Kyle in Ethan's car.

So we had to get up early because it was about two hours drive from here to the amusement park, including the traffic and I knew I would be hungry in the car. I always get hungry in long drives. So I sacrificed my sleep, got up and made myself some Nutella sandwiches, which were just for me, until Brody snatched one just from my hand.

That imbecile.

I knew I should have brought Kyle with us. He doesn't like sweet stuff but Brody here can eat a fudging human if he wants to. But I couldn't do anything in that either. Kyle and Brody tossed to see who will come with who, as Destiny was sure to go with Ethan and Hunter was sure to take me, to which I got a wink from Des and a smirk from Kyle.

Ending the toss, Brody won the heads and is with us now, stealing my sandwich.

Coins do hate me.

"Fine take that, but if I am left hungry, you are buying me ten jars of Nutella." I told him with my hands crossed across my chest.

He gave me a cheeky smile.

That witch.

I slumped back looking in front of me, my eyes fell on my side again as I saw Hunter in his military green shirt and black trousers. He didn't even attempted to look good but yet he does. Me on the other hand was wearing my peach and white sundress with matching peach flat bellies. I let my hair loose as I was going to tie them before but Des 'accidentally' broke my hair tie.

I didn't know I was still looking at him. He turned to look at me and smiled.

I didn't blush.

I am not red and my cheeks are definitely not burning right now.

Where is Aunt Hilda when I need her?

............................................................................................

"So Children, finally we are here." Hunter said as he parked the car in the separate side, outside the amusement park. There were many car lined in a perfect manner. Hunter did quite a good job parking between the cars, may be he is a good driver. We got out of the car, making sure we don't hit the car beside us with the door.

"Hey, you guys." Came a sound from behind us. Ethan, Des and Kyle were coming towards us. It was Ethan who was waving his hand from a distance, I think they got a parking at the far end. We all went ahead for the park. This is making me excited.

We were inside the park. We showed our tickets and put a band around our hand, so we could get on any ride we want. I could see the biggest smile on Hunter's face. It made my heart melt. He was genuinely happy coming here. He was looking at everywhere, maybe deciding where to go first. He joyfully told me how he wanted to go to freefall first and then, screaming swing, I got a little scared by the name there.

We rode a few rides, they were fun. I was laughing riding most of them except that screaming swing disaster due to which Brody felt sick, he blamed it on my sandwich, which no one told him to eat. The ride was pretty intense, but I loved them, Brody didn't I guess.

Besides if I ate Nutella and want to vomit, I would probably sow my lips together then to throw it out.

Well that sounded disgusting.

I was calmly munching on the cotton candy, Hunter and Ethan were patting Brody's back, Des and Kyle went to get some drinks. Brody's face has lost all colour. I told him not to go on that ride if he didn't feel right, but me telling him was kind of a slap on his manhood, and to prove himself and how real those muscles are, he got on the ride, resulting on him, throwing up on a couple and us apologising to them, while Brody emptied his stomach in the near by dustbin.

Des and Kyle came back with the drinks, they handed Brody a bottle of chilled water.

He took the bottle reluctantly, and drank a few sips. I hope he feels okay, now I am feeling bad for him, and my poor sandwich in the dustbin.

"No more rides for you buddy." It was Kyle who said that and leaned down smirking at Brody. His expressions changed to horror. I think he likes rides too, but there is no way he is getting on any other today.

"What? No. I want to ride on Twister Turn." All of us looked at him with shock and wide eyes like he has grown a turtle neck. Is he out of his mind? it is the worst ride here, It can turn the seats at a total 360 degree angle. He will end up vomiting on all of us.

I cringed at the thought of being covered in vomit, it's not my first time to that either. Once when we were little, I was around 6 and Damien was 7, we were going to England to attend my aunt's wedding, When the plane landed in England and all of us were getting out of it in a line, Damien stood right in front if me and I was behind him, in middle of him and my father.

In a split of seconds he turned around and emptied his stomach all over me. I was covered from neck to toe in green coloured vomit. That was the worst day of my life. I blame it on the spinach corn sandwich from the plane.

I took a shower on the airport and mom had to throw away my favourite dress. That day still gives me the creeps. I was crying while my father took me from the plane to the airport washroom. Damien had his head down all along. Till date I don't know if he was guilty or was trying to hide his laughter.

I was looking at different directions trying to find something that could change my mind, if I think about it anymore I will probably start crying here too. My eyes fell on something, it was so beautiful, it looked like it was just made for me. I was eyeing it, I wanted that.

It was the world's cutest unicorn stuffed toy. It looks so fluffy.

Oh my god, I want to hug that.

Hunter came stood in front of me and then turned around to see where I was looking at with such big stars in my eyes. He looked at me amused. I looked at him with hope. The toy was hanging outside a stall and there were people just standing there and aiming at a pyramid of cans, cursing in the process.

"Damn I want that fluffy horse." I heard someone yelled as they missed the can.

It's a unicorn.

I wanted to go there and tell them. They don't deserve that toy.

"You want that?" He looked at me and asked me with a mischievous smile. I don't know why but took out my bottom lip in a pout and nodded. I really want that. I started playing with my fingers and looked down. There was not any response I got from Hunter, I looked up in search of him.

My eyes straight went to the stall and there he was standing outside it, already paying the guy money and getting his large fake gun. He said something to him and pointed towards the cans, Hunter nodded and put the fake gun up with both hands. His muscles flexed out from his shirt, his shoulders felt so strong. He was looking intently at the cans. If he was looking at a girl with that much intensity, she could have a heart attack by now.

Everyone was looking at Hunter.

"What is he doing?" Asked Ethan. "I don't think he wants any of the toys." Kyle said that and nudged me. I blushed.

I think I should go there and cheer him. I started walking towards the stall. Hunter was still aiming at the pyramid. I went ahead and stood beside him. I could see his lips turn into smile. One of his eye was closed. "You are mine fluffy." He said that and the next second he shot, making a sound of small fire and then I heard the sound of metal hitting the ground.

He did it.

He did hit the cans.

All of them were on the floor.

I was still in shock, how can he? In just one shot? I wanted to bow down in front of him. The guy gave Hunter the white unicorn stuffed toy, he had a clear scowl on his face. He was kind of ginger looking, big tummy and I could smell cigarettes from here.

Hunter put the huge fake gun on the counter and took a hold of the toy.

I was still dazed. I didn't know what gotten over me but the next thing I know, I am hugging Hunter. My hands were on his neck, his well built shoulders, I could feel his muscles flex, my head was on his chest. Why does he always smell so good?

I could clearly hear his heartbeat, it was loud, why was-

He put his hand around me. We were hugging, me, Hunter and Fluffy. The three of us were hugging, totally ignoring the scowling ginger guy on the stall, our friends and dying Brody.

As I was about to pull away, I felt more then two arms wrapped around me and heads resting on my back. Des, Ethan. Kyle and Brody were hugging us both. We were having a group hug at the centre of the park, in front of the stall.

It felt good.

It felt great.

But soon enough.

"Brody you stink." Des shouted with a disgusted look on her face.

All of us parted away and kept a distance from Brody.

"Hey. You should be nice to the sick people." Poor Brody.

Hunter finally gave me the unicorn with a smile on his face and me blushing red.

Des came behind me and looked at the toy. She was smiling cheerfully. "So are you going to name it? You can take it everywhere, like a security blanket." She said that, which made me laugh hard. I won't even feel embarrassed to take it to the school with me.

"Yes. It has a name." I said and looked in front of me. Hunter cocked one of his eyebrow and smirked.

"Fluffy Donnavan." I smirked back.
