Falling in love with Ms. Bennet

Chapter 21

"So, this is the place you thought of?" Amanda looked around and saw the children running around with their balloons in different colors of red, blue and yellow. There were old people walking together with their grand children, others were young couples having ice creams. There were a lot of colorful booths too, merry go rounds, a mini roller coaster and a ferris wheel.

"Yup." Henry asked, unbuckling his seat belt.

"Why this one?" Amanda said, arms folded.

"I just like to go to a carnival tonight." Henry smiled at Amanda.

"With me?"

"Why not? Why not with you?"

He went out of the car as Amanda opened the door and went out. She heard Henry clicked his tongue.

"What?"

"I should be the one opening the door for you."

"Why would you do that? I could open it myself." Amanda walked ahead as Henry sweep his hair with his fingers and exhaled. Is she really doing that on purpose? She always make me lose my swag.

"Well, are you coming?" Amanda called out to Henry.

I don't want to give up though. "I'm coming." Tonight is the night.

Amanda was looking around as they walked together around the carnival.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked.

"Don't you think it's weird that there are no people swarming over you tonight?"

"You don't want it like this? It's far better this way."

"There are no paparazzis following you even."

"They probably couldn't figure out I'm at a carnival."

Amanda nodded slowly, looking around the people happily roaming around the carnival.

"It's been a long time since I've been to this kind of place." Amanda told Henry.

"Really, well-" Henry spread his arms and bows down at Amanda. "I'm glad to be your company. I shall be you tour guide as of tonight."

Amanda smiled and shook her head. "I am surrounded with unhealthy foods too. I never ate anything unhealthy all my life."

"Wow, you really are no fun back in high school, huh." Henry commented.

"Okay, since you're the expert, show me what I should have done back in high school then."

"Okay. This way, beautiful." Amanda went ahead of Henry as he followed her, smiling.

"I think we have too much." Amanda was looking uncomfortably at the loads of food on the table.

"Burgers, corndogs and hotdogs are at the top unhealthy foods that are loads with preservatives, fat and fat. Plus, they are cancer giving junks. Very, very unhealthy. This is even against my diet. But, you have to admit, they are quite tasty." Henry shared, sitting on the bench across Amanda.

"So, you're telling me that I should have ate these cancer giving junks back when I was in high school?"

"Should have at times. Not all the time, of course." Henry handed Amanda a burger which she hesitantly took it. He gave it a shook before Amanda took it.

"Shall we begin our unhealthy ritual?" Henry asked, trying not to laugh as he looked at Amanda, looking at the burger as if it was something so bizarre. Amanda finally took a bite and chewed slowly.

Henry smiled looking at Amanda," How's your burger?"

Amanda chewed and swallowed before giving a reply. "Pretty good for a cancer giving food. How's your hotdog coming?"Henry looked at her, grinning. Amanda gave him frown. "I mean, your food."
