"do you know where you're supposed to meet him at?"
remedy asked as she cruised through the parking lot full of cars.

kilani hummed.
"i'm pretty sure he said by the entrance,where the ticket booth is."

remedy made a turn.
"yeah but,which one?"
she asked.

"ummm,oh there he is!"
kilani said,pointing at the figure standing by the booth looking around.

remedy stopped next to the booth,making sure not to hit the people walking,coming out of their cars.

"alright."
she said unlocking the door.
"keep your phone on you! and don't be afraid to use the pepper spray i gave you."

kilani nodded.
"yes sir. i'll call you."
she smiled,getting out of the car and waving.

remedy waved at beautiful through the window before driving off towards the entrance.

"hey."
derek greeted her with a smile as she stood next to them.

"hi."

"you're hair's different."
he pointed out,making beautiful reach up and touch it.

she had decided to semi straighten it before she left the house,almost making her late.

"oh yeah,i did it. does it look bad?-"

"no. it looks perfect. i like it both ways."
he complimented her making her grin.
"thank you."

"so,what's your go to at the fair? food,rides or games?"
he asked,as they moved up in the line.

"um,i don't know. i've never been to one."
she told him,making his mouth fly open.

"you're serious?"

"as a heart attack."
she smiled.

"wow."
he chuckled.
"that's fucking-i mean really,that is,crazy."

"i know."
she said embarrassed.
"i kinda feel left out."

he hummed as they arrived at the front of the line.

"well,i'm happy that i'm your first."
he said with a smirk making her get red,thankfully,he couldn't see.

"two wristbands,please."
he asked politely at the lady in the booth.

"$40.00 even."
she stood him,taking his card as she put it in the machine.

"you didn't have to-"

"but i wanted to,it's okay. i'm a gentleman."
he told her before she could protest.

derek took his car before sticking his hand in the slot,allowing her to put the wrist band on his wrist.

"go ahead."

he told her,allowing her to get her wristband before they both got let into the entrance.

"enjoy your night."
the security guard said as he let them in,allowing them to enter the fair.

kilani observed the large property,taking in all the bright lights and attractions.

the fair was full of different rides and roller coasters,she didn't even know which one to choose. there were kids of all different sizes and ages,playing games for prizes and blowing their money on extra turns.

the teenagers and adults around her boomed with life and smiles as they walked with their families,boyfriends,girls friends,best friends.

the workers gave out warm smiles as they took each customers money in return for some sort of fried or exotic foods and treats.

little kids laughter filled the establishment as they ran around the property,with their parents or siblings.

high schoolers sat at benches and tables,enjoying their food while talking to their friends.

"what first?"
he asked as he looked her way before they began walking.

she shrugged.
"i don't even know where to start."
she laughed nervously.

he smiled.
"don't worry,i'll make it easy for you. do you like rollercoasters?"
he asked.

"i went to six flags like once when i was thirteen."
she shrugged.
"it was fun."

"big or small."
he wondered as he looked around,trying to figure out what to ride first.

"definitely big."
she nodded.

he hummed.
"let's go on the top thrill dragster."
he told her,leading her to the ride.

before kilani could ask what the ride did,a flash erupted in her face making her cover her eyes in shock.

"kilani! kilani! is this your new boyfriend?! is he just a fling,we wanna know!"

kilani groaned as she blocked her face with her hand,feeling derek come up behind her with his hands on her waist.

"come on now,get the hell out of her face! you don't know how to treat a lady?!"
he said angrily as he blocked her with his body.

the camera continued flashing as they asked questions.

"derek! how did you and kilani meet? was it through a mutual friend or-"

"it's through non of your damn business now back up! this isn't rodeo drive!"
he told them as they didn't cooperate.

"hey! no cameras! get out now before we call the cops!"
the security rushed over to them.

"but we're with the university of Houston,we're getting picture for-"

"i don't came if your with the damn CIA,get out before you three get arrested!"
one of them said,before escorting they three teen out.

"oh my-what was that?"
she asked,uncovering her face as she realized they were gone.

derek sighed.
"university of Houston has this weird ass club full of kids that collect drama around campus. i guess they found us and wanted get some picture for their page."

kilani shook her head.
"is that...legal?"
she asked.

derek took kilani's hand in his as they both got in line for the ride.
"maybe,maybe not. don't worry,i got you though."

-

"that's your fifth roller coaster in an hour,maybe you should slow down."
derek chucked as they got off of the ride.

kilani laughed.
"i cant! it's so fun,it's like an adrenaline rush."

derek laughed at her enthusiasm as they both made their way to one of the booths of unhealthy fried fair food.

"what should we eat? they have corn dogs,funnel cake,fried Oreos. anything you want?"
he asked.

"um,i don't know. you gotta help me out,i'm a newbie."
she smiled.

derek took her hand as he lead her to a booth with a line line as they waited.

"what's this line for?"

she wondered as she read the sign above the stand.

"funnel cake. do you like sweet stuff?"
he asked as they moved up in the line.
she nodded.

ten minutes after waiting in line,Derek and beautiful were seated at a table,a funnel cake in front of each of them.

"go ahead. give me the review i've been waiting for."
he said,making her laugh with her head down.

"okay,okay."
she mumbled,cutting a piece of the fried treat off before stuffing it into her mouth.

her eyes lit up with excitement as she chewed the food,a smile prominent on her lips.

"i told you."
he smirked,looking up at her.
"so,let's talk."

"about what?"
she asked as she bit into another piece of her food.

"you."
he stated.
"i wanna hear about you,tell me about kilani braxton."

he stated making her laugh.
"there's nothing to know. really,i'm pretty boring."

"me too,however,i don't care. elaborate."
he nodded at her making her swallow her food.

"well,what do you wanna know?"
she shrugged.

"everything. about you,your family,whatever you feel comfortable telling."
he told her.

kilani got comfy in her seat.
"well,my real name is kilani but my friends and family call be beautiful."

"have i earned the privilege of being able to call you that or am i still on thin ice?"
he asked sarcastically.

beautiful sent him a goofy smile.
"i'll think about it."
she told him.

"i'm twenty,twenty one in december."
she said softly.

"capricorn?"
he asked with raised eyebrows.
she shook her head.

"sag."

he nodded.
"fair minded,independent,social."

"i'm not too sure about the social part,i'm still working on it."
she shrugged making him smile.

"i have two siblings,both older. my mom is a lawyer and my dads an orthodontist. i'm on the soccer team and i'm psychology major. i wanna be a psychologist."
she finished.

"what about you?"
she asked making his eyes widen.

"me? oh no,i'm boring."
he said in a sarcastic tone making her smile.

"be fair,i told you about me. now do the same."

she told him.

"okay okay."
he surrendered.
"don't stay ganging all up on me."

"i turned twenty one few months ago,i'm an only child. no sports,i workout but i'm not really a football or basketball guy. you already know my major."
he smirked.

"and your parents? what do they do? do you take after them?"
she asked politely making him squirm in his seat.

he shrugged.
"they don't."
he stated,making her tilt her head.

"yeah. mama gone,daddy passed. she left when i was first born,she was young. wasn't ready for a kid. my dad was a few years older though,he wasn't the best but he took care of me best he could. graduated high school,got into college,all while raising me. he got a job and an apartment for us too. but,he got in a car accident when i was five,just before he could graduate. he left me what little money he had and his father got custody of me. my grandfather raised me well,all the way up until i got into college,but just last year he passed from a stroke. he was a good man. so now,here i am,parentless. but,i don't mind talking about it."

kilani felt the air i. her throat stop.
"im-"

"don't apologize. it's not your fault,besides,i've accepted it. that's the best thing i could've done for myself."
he let her know.

kilani nodded,shrugging off the topic.
"well,good for you. i'm happy."
she grinned.

"speaking of happy,your little friend doesn't seem to be since we've started talking. does he like,have something against me or-"

"who keith?"
she asked,making his nod as he sipped his lemonade.

"oh no,he's just protective like that,i guess."
she mumbled.

"really? so he's not one of those guy friends who secretly doesn't want his friend to talk to anybody else besides him?"
he asked.

kilani thought about it as she hummed.
she never really saw keith as that kind of guy.

in her eyes,they were new friends that had a pretty normal relationship.
she didn't see keith as anything more.

although,she couldn't read minds so she didn't really know how keith felt about her.

"i don't think he likes me very much."
he chuckled as he took another drink.

beautiful smiled as she felt her dimples prominent.
"that's okay. i like you,that's all that matters."

derek returned the smile.
"i like the way you think"

-

"so,i'll call you later tonight?"
derek asked as he walked beautiful to her apartment door.

she nodded with a grin.
"of course."
she stated.

before derek could utter another word,beautiful had already engulfed him in a warm hug,making him smile.

"goodnight."
he told her,watching as she opened her door.

"good-"
beautiful said,cutting her sentence short as she tripped over the edge of her doorway.

derek chuckled as he reached out just in case as she stumbled.

she giggled.
"goodnight."

"goodnight."
he stepped away from the door with a smile as she softly closed it.

beautiful stood at the door,a smile etched onto her face as she thought about her night.

"rem?!"
she called out as she slipped off her shoes.
"are you here?!"

"i'm in the kitchen!"
she heard remedy reply as she rushed to the kitchen with a smile.

"can you talk? oh my gosh,rem,he was so sweet. he was such a-"
the smile on her face fell as she stopped in her tracks.

"can we talk?"
