"Yay!" Can shouts with joy as he runs around without knowing where to go.

Hell, seems like I need to put a leash on him.

I walk up to him when he stops to read a sign of directions and warnings.

"We can go to the cups first, then to the rotating octopus, and this one...no, first to this one better."

"We have time to go to all of them, it is still early." I answer when I see that there is an internal struggle to decide which game to go first in his head.

All the children have been to an amusement park at some time or even most of the time. However, that was not my case, the truth is that I had never bothered going to one until I saw Can swing like five-year old child.

I guess it's okay to enjoy things like this now that I'm old.

Can seems to convince himself of what game to go after he watches it several times, then he takes my hand and entwines it with his inadvertently, pulling me in to that direction.

"Let's go to candy island!" He shouts with great emotion as I let myself be dragged by him. When we arrive there is a small line of people waiting, but something makes me think that this kind of game is not for us.

"How can we not pass?" Can asked with concern.

"The maximum age allowed is up to 10 years old, Sir." The person in charge of the game answers us.

"But I like this game and I'm not 10 years old." Can answers with a lot of disappointment on his face.

"I'm sorry sir, but we can't let you in..."

His smile disappears, it is as if his toys had been taken from a child. I place my hand on his head to ruffle his hair and he looks at me.

"We can go to others, there are more games in the park." I say sweetly. Using the same tone that I use with N'PhuPha, my little nephew.

Can nods his head and the smile I consider the most beautiful one returns to his face.

We head to another game, the spinning octopus, a huge machine with tentacles that rotate up and down while constantly tilting.

I share the seat with Can who looks very excited until the game starts to spin and then his face changes as he clings tightly to the seat bar. This game spins too fast even for me. We are up for three long minutes and when it ends, I see Can stagger out everywhere.

"Can..." I call him when I see his strange walking and he turns around.

"Three Tin...there are three Tin...I can hardly handle one, what will I do with three of them?" He says.

"What?...Hey watch out!" I exclaim and hold him before he falls to the ground. Can clings to me tightly and does it for a long time, until at last he seems to regain his balance.

"If you keep hugging me, I'm going to kiss you." This made his whole face red and then turns away looking away.

"Ha...there are many people." He says, barely being able to speak and still without looking at me.

"Does that mean I can kiss you when no one is there?"

His blush spreads even further as he remains silent.

"I will take your silence as a yes." I say approaching him again.

"Direct, you're too direct..." He mumbles.

A noise interrupts our talk and he clenches his stomach.

"You're hungry...come on, I'll buy you something."

Can rechecks the iPhone for a few seconds and then nods.

"What do you see so much there?"

"I want that one." He says pointing to the octopus skewer, there is much better meals but he chooses that, I shake my head.

"Do you only eat skewers?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

"No...but I like them a lot."

"Well, I'll take one." I say and the salesman gives Can the skewer.

"Which th...you already finished it?" I ask when I see just the stick, the meat already gone.

"Yes, thanks."

That was fast...

His stomach rumbles again, he sigh.

"Give him another one please?"

"Oh, it is not necessary." He says but his stomach betrays him again, making his face turn red with embarrassment so I buy it anyway and give it to him.

When I pay for the second one, I turn around only to see that he already ate it...how come he eats so fast?

I hear the machine that he call his stomach roar louder, is is normal that it is still making noises?

Well, it doesn't matter, I guess one more will fill him up.

23 skewers were eaten and it was all in less than 10 minutes!!

"Are you feeling okay?" I ask while I watch him eat skewer number 24, but now more calmly.

"Yes, why?" He asks, his mouth still full of sauce.

"Because maybe in half an hour I have to take you to the hospital..." I exclaim.

"I don't think so, if I don't pass 25 I'll be fine..." He answers with great confidence. "Aren't you hungry?" He asks.

I haven't eaten anything not because I'm not hungry but because the food at stalls doesn't seem very appetizing to me and I think it's too unhealthy...

The few seconds it takes me to answer are all it is needed for Can to be in front of me, extending the skewer that he has not yet finished.

His eyes sparkling, his fresh cheeks flushed, and his soft lips parted...he looks so helpless...I lick my lips, now I think I'm hungry...

I took him by the arm leading him to a dimly lit area, his reaction is slow and by the time he realized what my intentions are, it is too late.

I kissed and bite his lips, raising my hands from his waist to his head, feeling his body shudder as I deepen the kiss. Can responds to me with the same shyness as always until I feel his hands grasp my hair and pull them, a soft and sweet moan coming out of his beautiful mouth, demanding more of me and when I am ready to fulfill his wish, a scandalizing cry is heard throughout the park.

We part from the kiss only to see one woman holding another, who appears to have passed out. Several people approach the place and when I take three steps in the same direction, I recognized who it was.

Isn't that...Can's sister?

I turn to look at Can, who seems to be in a state of shock, I look at him with a sideways smile and I take his skewer approaching very close to his lips, now swollen.

"It doesn't taste so bad after all." I exclaim and take a bite.

"Eh? I thought you didn't like them." He says with his trembling lips.

"I didn't like them but now...I love them." I respond provocatively.

A few small blows to my chest is what I get from him, but he can't fool me, Can is an open book, if he likes something I can clearly see it and kissing me is definitely something he likes too much.

"Let's go to that game." I tell him, approaching him again and pointing to a somewhat distant point.

He looks at the same place and smiled widely.

"Yes!"

I take his hand and we head together to the Wheel of Fortune.

When we go up, it moves slowly and I can see how Can looks amazed by the scenery and even begins to take photos of the sunset.

"Come." I tell him as I move to one side, giving him a place to sit. I pick up him phone and grab Can by the waist, then take several photos of us.

"Hey...it's my phone." He says as he puffs up his cheeks.

I checked the photos and see my smile in the pictures.

How long has it been since I smiled like this?

How long has it been since I did something that really amuses me and I just did it for fun?

I met him so recently and yet he has accomplished so much in such a short time.

I stared at him again and I can't stop the words from coming out of my mouth once more.

"I like you."

I may never be tired of saying it.

It is as if Can had stopped breathing for a few seconds, his body paralyzed by my words, a body that I draw towards me and force to sit on my lap. I approach to try to kiss him, to fulfill my wish but before I can make another move, he is the who kisses me.

A shy kiss, which leaves me perplexed and wide-eyed, while his are tightly closed.

So sweet...

When he barely separates from me, I take him by the chin again.

"Open your mouth Can, you have to use your tongue."

"But I'm not a dog." He says.

His reply made me laugh inside...I really have a lot to teach him.

I kiss him again.

I take his mouth again, immersing myself in it, in its flavor, its warmth, its texture and its fragrance, in a cluster of feelings that runs through my veins and captures me.

His shy lips correspond slowly, his cheeks once again turning red.

I can't remove my hands that seek to touch his tan and soft skin, starting with his lower back and slowly rising. Can trembles with every inch I touch of him, but still he doesn't stop, nothing stops us and in this precious moment I can only think that I have lost.

You won Can...you have me at your mercy

"Mmmm..." I hear another voice speaking or maybe it's just my imagination.

"Eeemm...the game is over."

We separate to look to our side, the engineer along with 20 other people are watching us, some women are blushing but at this moment all we both want to do is to run away.

"I didn't want to interrupt you, but the game ended about a minute ago..." Says the boy.

A MINUTE? HAVE WE BEEN GIVING A SHOW IN FRONT OF THESE PEOPLE FOR A MINUTE?!

We got off with embarrassment, covering our faces.

"We better go." He says hastily.

"Yes." I exclaimed.

We walked like robots to the exit and the parking lot.

I still feel the heat of his body lingers in me, in addition to the looks of many curious people, he clearly liked the show we have put on.

We barely got in the car and closed the doors when I laugh too much, laughed like I never did before. Can looks at me confused and for the first time, the madman is me.

"What's so funny?" He asks, but I can't even answer as my stomach starts to hurt. "How weird you are..."

***

I thought Tin would never laugh, that the most I could ever see of him would be his smile.

But I like his laugh...maybe too much.

Looks like he hasn't done it in a long time because HE IS DROWNING!

"Hell!" I shout and pounced on a totally red Tin with tears in my eyes, to pat his back with force.

"That's it...Can! Stop torturing my back!" He yells once he seems to compose himself. The tension is released from my body and I sigh heavily.

"You're welcome!" I exclaim when I see that not I don't even received even a miserable thank you and I cross my arms, diverting my gaze to the window. Then I feel something soft on my face, a kiss on my cheek.

I turn to see him and he has already started the car. I touch my cheekbone and it burns, where he kisses me always burns.

I smiled.

It's already dark and I yawn, today has been a long but a very entertaining day. I check my cell phone just to confirm if I have made all the list that Pond left for me.

Doing something risky can make a good impression. Done.

Accept food invitations. Done.

Get to fourth base and the next day tell him that you are expecting a child from him, to catch him and become a millionaire.

What is fourth base? Hmm...that point is left undone, men can't have children...or can they? No, I don't think so...well I'll just ask when I get home.

Well two out of three, not bad at all, Pond will be happy.

I yawn again, Tin doesn't make a sound, it's like he knows I'm tired and he's letting me sleep but I want to talk, I want to laugh and I want to give him an answer, I want to but my eyes start to close, I should tell him that I like him too and...

.

.

.

"Can..."

"Hmmm..."

"Can."

I open my eyes, and I feel saliva on my face, heck again, I drool in my clothes. I clean myself and see that we have arrived at my house, wow, that's fast.

I see Tin and he looks at me with a strange smile, I immediately feel nostalgic for a day that is not over yet but I don't want to end.

"We arrived..." I say with a voice that feels far away.

"Yes."

My first date...what will happen from now on?

"Well...then I'll get off." I said and Tin just looks at me while I stay in the same place without making a move.

I should go down now but first...

I quickly approach him and kiss his lips, hoping that this can become a habit and I can kiss him whenever I want.

"Can...your tongue..."

"I'm not a dog!" I say and get out of the car.

Tin just smiles in amusement.

I see the light from the entrance of our house still on and I quickly approach the door. I take one last look at Tin and smile, I see his car drive away, at that moment I receive a kind of alarm in my head.

"I remember now!! I had something to say to him! Hmm..." I try to search inside my head, trying to remember it, but...nothing.

"Well, maybe later I will remember it..." I say and continued walking towards our house.

"Can, son, you're late. Where were you?" My mother asks when she sees me.

"I went to the amusement park!" I answer happily.

"Oh, you went to the same place as your sister."

"Really?" I asked, how strange, how come I did not see her anywhere.

"Yes, she said that she had to do an intelligence work or something like that...she went out with a friend, I don't know very well where she was going for but I imagine it is from some study work."

"Oh, I see...well, I'm going to my room."

"Aren't you going to have dinner?" She asks and I touch my stomach, 23 skewers is enough for today.

"Nope!" I say and walk to my room.

When I arrive, the first thing I did is review today's photos, photos of the landscape, the attractions, the people and then finally I see the photos that Tin took on the Ferris wheel.

I see the smile on his face and I brush my finger around it...very nice. I choose one of them and put it as my wallpaper. Tin said that I was not allowed to change the photo of himself but I imagine that if it is the photo of us then he will not be angry.

I leave the gallery and notice something that I had not seen, a folder that says "Do not delete"

I opened it and I find many photos of Tin and when I say many, I mean MANY!

I go through the entire folder and find no end to it so I write him a message right away.

I send the message and within a few seconds, I receive his reply.

The answer didn't take lone and I read his reply.

I throw the phone on the bed, that fool. How can he say that so easily?

I touch my chest that is pounding, hell, I hope I don't have a cardiac arrest, because at any moment I will have one, I'm sure.

I lean back and look at the phone again, I feel the anxiety falling over me, well...one last message.

The cell phone rings after a few seconds.

Devils!

The phone rings again.

I throw the cell phone back on the bed.

Fool! Fool! Fool! How can he do this to me? If this keeps up...

If this continues...there will be more dates and then I will have to ask Pond for more advice...and I will eat more octopus skewers and then I...will also kiss him more often.
