    Slowly pulling his teeth in between his teeth, Justin slowly rolled his teeth over the inside of his lips. "Yup, same here." He murmured as he stared out the window. Watching as the newly planted trees that the city planted started to bend because of the wind. The mere action causing the property value of this fine establishment to crumble because supposedly, at least according to the mayor, plants make people happy and happy people spent money.

    After a few more moments of staring out the window, Justin glanced towards Bailey. Almost forgetting that she was there since she wasn't running her mouth. She looked so small in his jacket. It was practically swallowing her up. The mere thought of her being devoured by his article of clothing caused a small smirk to form on the gangsters' lips.

    "You know, I don't think I've asked yet. How's your neck doing?" Justin asked, tilting his head to the side as he examined her. Looking to see if she had a scar or something from the incident, but from where he was he couldn't see anything. Which, should be good. It meant that she wasn't as badly hurt as she had originally thought. "You don't seem to have a scar." He murmured his thoughts. A habit he's realized he's been doing when around Bailey.

    Raising his cup to his lips, Justin took a few more sips of his drink before it was completely gone. A satisfied sigh escaped from him as he leaned forward and started to absentmindedly roll the bottom around on the table. Debating on if he wanted another coffee on this cold day or not.

    Once Justin asked about her neck, Bailey lifted her head slightly to show him. As he murmured again, she dropped her head back down and met Justin's eyes with her own. "My neck has healed nicely. It actually didn't take too long. In fact, it barely hurt the next day. And yes, I was lucky that it didn't leave a scar." Reaching up, Bailey ran her fingers over her neck, feeling the smooth skin there. It had only fully healed a few days ago, and it looked like nothing had ever even happened.

    "And I haven't run into any more trouble either." Bailey hoped that would continue. When she first moved in, she had gone to an area that she thought would be rather nice and low on crime. So, hopefully, that would be the only run in she had. Though Bailey wasn't sure what she would do if that happened to not be the case. Even if it wasn't, she now carried around pepper spray to try and keep herself safe. It wasn't a guarantee that someone like Justin would be around to help her.

    As Justin started to roll the cup along the table, her eyes shifted down to it, seeing that it was now empty. She glanced outside for a moment, seeing that the storm was still in the thick of it. He probably wouldn't be heading out anytime soon and now this would be her chance to do something for the man that had helped her so much. "Would you like another cup of coffee?" Bailey asked him. "I would like to get you one if you do."

    If Justin did not want another cup, Bailey would ask if he was sure before leaving it be. If Justin did want another cup but didn't want her to pay for it, Bailey would insist, telling Justin that she really wanted to. But if Justin continued to refuse despite her insistence, Bailey would frown slightly before leaving it be. If Justin did agree to it, Bailey would smile warmly at him before standing up and asking Justin what he wanted. She then would head over to the counter and ordered before coming back a bit later with his cup and a cookie for herself.

    There better of not been any more trouble by Bailey's work. Justin made sure that the guy and any other stragglers that wanted to try and caused the gang trouble, knew that the area was off limits. The gang specifically set up a area where they could rough house anyone they wanted, where the lawless could do as they pleased. Most of the city was under the gang's protection. Justin's job was to enforce that, and that is what he had done.

    "So you think the area's safe now?" Justin asked, peaking his eyes up towards the beauty that was across from him. "You don't go out at night by yourself or anytihng, do you?" Justin asked, his lips turning down slightly at the idea. Bailey was a big girl, sure, but the idea still kinda made him nervous for some reason. He's seen plenty of women out on their own at night in the area, the gang leaves them alone, yet. For some reason that Justin still couldn't quite figure out why, he didn't like the idea of Bailey being out on her own in the dark.

    Flicking his gaze back towards Bailey, Justin arched an eyebrow at her. He already knew what she was hinting at before it even slipped out of her mouth. An just on time, she asked to pay for it. This damn girl and wanting to pay him back.

    Pursing his lips together, Justin ran through options of what to say to the girl. He really didn't like women paying for things for him. He was the one with the balls, he should be the one spoiling them. Not the other way around, at least it's like that in his mind at least. With Bailey though, she just wouldn't take it being helped or spoiled without wanting to give things back. The girl was to damn sweet and she shouldn't really be handing out with him. Her white world will go black if she does. An yet, Justin couldn't help but to want to drag her down. Make her grey, not to messed up, but not as pure as she is now. Would she be sweet still if he started letting her in? Or, would she turn black to fast for him to handle?

    Releasing a quiet sigh, Justin set the cup upright as he looked at her. "I like my coffee black. One pump of vanilla." He told her, not going to fight. His little white light, Bailey, will soon be grey, so he'll take her kindness for now because he's made a decision. He was going to taint her.

    "Well... yes, for the most part," Bailey told him softly. She didn't think that the area was all that dangerous specifically. Even with what occurred, Bailey knew that it tended to be one of the more safer areas of the city. But it didn't change the fact that she was still on edge when walking along after what happened. So she couldn't say that she felt completely safe. For his next question, Bailey gave him a little shrug. "Sometimes. It's not something I can really avoid anyways, being outside at night by myself. But I haven't run into any more trouble so I think I'll be fine."

    A warm smile moved over Bailey's face when Justin agreed easily to let her by him a cup. She had seen the thought process going over on his face. At first, it seemed like the man would reject her offer. But, instead, he was letting her and that pleased the young woman. There wasn't a lot that she could do to pay him back but at least Justin was letting her do this. Especially after he rejected her other offers.

    "I will be right back then." Taking the cup, Bailey made her way over to the front counter and stood behind too other people in line. From afar, it really looked like Bailey was just wearing Justin's jacket as a short dress. The young woman snuggled into it a bit more, wanting to keep warm. Soon enough, she ordered the coffee and the cookie, coming back a few minutes later with both in her hands.

    "Here you go," Bailey set the coffee down in front of Justin before she sat down in her own chair and took another sip of her coffee. As she set the cup down, Bailey pulled apart her cookie before taking a bite of it. As she did so, she glanced up at Justin. Overall, she found Justin to be a rather interesting man, but one that didn't make a lot of sense to her. He seemed to be a bit of a tough guy but she was also so sure that there had to be more to him than just that.

    That smile is going to be the death of him. It brightened Bailey's whole face. Making her seem like one of those god damn angels that you'd see in one of those cheesy movies. Being lowered by a string with one of those golden harps in their hands. Trying to sing a hymn that was terribly off tune, that autotune could barely fix.

    An just like that, the vision of an angel was gone. Justin's dark eyes watched as Bailey moved through the cafe. His eyes taking in the way that she walked, her little frame allowing for her to slip through so easily. She was like a rat, being able to sneak through a crowd without disturbing anyone unlucky enough to not find a seat in the new pack cafe.

    A small chuckle escaped from Justin as he watched Bailey snuggle into his hoodie. A small smile tugging at the ends of his lips. Cute, she was quite cute. Annoying with all of her questions, but cute none the less. Bailey was such an enigma to Justin, and he was not quite sure what to do with the young lady. He's never had these thoughts about a woman before. Most were just one night stands, a quick fuck, and dump. Hasn't brought a girl to his apartment in years. Maybe, with a bit of luck on her side. Justin might want to keep her around for more than just a quick fuck and dump.

    As Justin noticed that Bailey was grabbing his coffee for him, he quickly shifted his gaze back towards the window. Not a trace of a smirk playing along on his lips. No, he just looked like he was bored watching the rain as it fell. Washing away everything in its path, leaving behind no traces of a crime, or salvation,

    Hearing Bailey set the coffee down on the table, Justin turned his gaze towards her like he wasn't just watching her the whole time she went to get the coffee for him. "Thanks." He said quietly as he grasped onto the cup gently then raised it towards his lips. He blew on it for a few moments before taking a small sip and then setting it back onto the table once more.

    Just as Justin set the cup onto the table, a loud clasp of thunder sounded through the cafe before the lights flickered for a few moments before the lights went out. "Well shit," Justin mumbled quietly as he looked around and saw people bringing out their phone's to see. An just like that, the lights came back on slowly because of the store's generator. A small snort escaping from Justin. "This is some store, huh," Justin mumbled as he glanced towards Bailey to see how she reacted to everything.

    As the lights in the store went out, Bailey looked up at the ceiling until they came back on again. A little frown crossing her lips at it. Her eyes shifted back down to Justin as he started to speak again. "Yes, it is really nasty," Bailey said as she glanced out of the window at the wind and the rain. It was worse than it had been when she originally came in. "I hope the entire city is not in a blackout right now..."

    Of course, Bailey did not want the city to be in a blackout, but she was really more concerned with her apartment. She hoped that her apartment had not just lost its electricity. Bailey didn't want to deal with a thawing refrigerator and freezer, no heat or ac and she definitely did not want to go home and see that her computer was shut down as it was currently running a few things on it for school.

    The young woman let out a small sigh before she turned her eyes to the storm outside. "How long do you think it is going to storm like this?" She asked him. "Hopefully not too long, right?" Bailey turned her head back to Justin, her head tilting slightly to the side as she waited for the man to answer her. Though she was sure that Justin didn't know, how could he? He wasn't in charge of the weather.

    Bailey let out a small hum at a moment before leaning forward a bit. "Well, I guess it doesn't matter much. We are stuck here until it calms down anyways." Her eyes brightened up as a thought crossed her mind. A warm smile came over Bailey's lips as she leaned forward a bit in interest. "How about you tell me a little about yourself? Last time, you asked me questions but you didn't really answer mine. You just basically told me your an average guy that likes to play video games but I am sure there is more than that."

    Arching an eyebrow at Bailey, Justin didn't say anything for a few moments as he listened to her questions. He raised his coffee to his lips and took a couple of sips before he set it back down onto the table. "According to my phone, it's supposed to be over soon. It's just a passing storm." He said as he glanced at the window once more before looking at the young girl that was in front of him. "That was this morning though, so I don't really know if things have changed or not."

    Then, the young girl in front of Justin leaned forward and he just got a bad feeling. She had one of those curious looks that gave Justin a headache. An when those words left her lips, he knew he had unleashed something when he agreed to allow for her to sit with him. A small groan escaped from Justin as he closed his eyes and rested his head back against the wall that was behind him since they were in the farthest corner.

    "Shit, you're a curious one aren't. ya Kid?" Justin murmured as he opened his eyes half way and looked back towards her. His dark eyes just took in how excited she looked as she waited for him to start with a little bit of info about himself. "Well, I work in security, been in my position for a couple of years now." A lie, well sorta. Being an enforcer, part of Justin's job was to collect money and make sure that the stores under the gang's protection were all safe. Another part of it was also that he needed to keep the other gangs in line and make sure that the men under him didn't do shit that would get them all caught and in trouble with the law.

    Moving to sit up straight, Justin crosses his arms on the table and leaned forward slightly. "I've lived in this city my whole life pretty much. Know every building here like the back of my hand." He knew every building because he needed to know where the nearest exits were when he was working protection for the boss. "An I'm a collector of guns. I think they're cool." That's all that Justin planned to share with the young woman. Anything else, she'll have to earn it from him.

    "I can't help being curious, it is just the way I am. But is it really all that bad?" Bailey asked him with a playful smile on her face. She was rather pleased that Justin was letting her in a bit. He was interesting to her and it seemed that he was a rather private person. So even getting a little bit of information from the man was difficult. But maybe she would be lucky enough to run into Justin and get the chance to learn more.

    Though as Bailey listened to Justin, she found herself smiling at him. She wasn't surprised to hear that he was in security. Justin was a strong man, which was clear through his physic. Plus he definitely seemed like the type of man who wouldn't shy away from a fight. And while Bailey wanted to ask more, she didn't want to seem overly pushy. Bailey wanted to learn more about Justin but she didn't want to feel like she was pulling teeth. But she could not help but make a small comment. "Oh so it sounds like you are a bodyguard then?"

    Bailey let out a warm laugh. "I do not think I could say the same about my hometown. I know it well but every building?" She shook her head a bit. "But it sounds like you really love it here." As for the gun collection comment, Bailey just provided a small nod. She wasn't all that interested in guns herself but Bailey also didn't care if others had them. As long as they were responsible for them.

    Glancing up at the ceiling as if he were in thought about her curiosity is a bad thing. Then slowly looked down towards her eyes once more. "Depends on the subject at hand I suppose." He told her, a small smirk playing with the corner of his lips as he looked Bailey in the eyes. She was dangerous, Justing could sense it as he examined the young beauty in front of him. Not an obvious threat to him or the gang, but if she kept pushing, Justin wasn't so sure that she'd be allowed to stay in the city without having to constantly be looking over her shoulder.

    An as if on cue, Bailey gave him an easy out. "You got me." He told her, giving her a nonchalant shrug of a shoulder. "I am a bodyguard." He told her, a small smile playing on his lips. "Don't ask who I protect though, that goes against my contract." My boss will have your head and mine if he finds out that you know who he is.

    "Hey, it ties in with the job," Justin told her, smirking a little as he leaned back in his seat and grabbed his coffee. Justin brought it to his lips as he examined the young girl in front of him. "Plus this place holds a lot of hidden gems." He told her as he lowered his coffee. His gaze looking down as he thought about what he had just said. There were quite a few interesting places in this city, most of them under the gangs' control. So, of course, Justin would need to know where the clients would be safe if they wanted to make a deal or something else that needed to go down.

    After a few more minutes of talking, Bailey glanced back out of the window. The storm was finally calming down. While it was still raining, it was more like a light sprinkle instead of the full out downpour it had been. Plus, the wind had died down severely. Bailey glanced over at the door and saw that there were a few people heading out. She knew she was lucky that she was only a few blocks away. So even if it started up again, she should make it before it did. But she needed to head out to avoid it entirely.

    Turning her attention back to Justin, she smiled at him warmly for a moment before pulling her backpack around into her lap. "Looks like the storm has died down so I should head to my apartment now, especially before it starts up again," Bailey told him. As she did so, Bailey took out a light blue post-it note and a pen. She wrote into her backpack so Justin couldn't see. Though once she was done writing, the young woman stood up. She slid off Justin's jacket and handed it to him, leaving her in her yellow dress again. It was still as wet when she first sat down.

    "Thank you for letting me borrow this. It was very warm." Bailey told him with a smile before she set the post-it note down with her number on it in front of him. "Maybe we can see each other again sometime if you're interested." The young woman glanced over Justin for a moment, a small smirk coming over her face before she picked up her backpack. "Bye Justin." With that, she headed out of the coffee shop and made her way home.

    It's really mind-blowing to Justin that he's allowed for Bailey to get so close to him. Sure, they weren't dating or anything, but she had his number and they texted or talked on the phone often. It was a new thing for the man, he didn't get close to people like he was with her. Let alone look forward to them messaging him. As most people who messaged him were his subordinates asking for advice, or getting messages from the boss on what he needed to do.

    Shit, Justin was feeling like a damn high school teen in one of those dramas. Waiting for a text message or for a phone call from the person that they were interested in. Justing was in his upper twenties, he didn't need any of that shit. He was just fine with his one night stands, he liked his freedom and he liked not spending his money on someone who wasn't going to do anything back.

    An yet, here Justin was, sitting at a diner waiting for Bailey so that they could have lunch together and then plan to do something else. They had tossed the idea to go shopping, a movie, or to go to the local museum, but didn't quite know what they'd feel like once the time came.

    Relaxing back in his seat Justin looked over the menu. The diner was known for their food, so it took some effort on his part to get them to reserve the best table for him. Not really actually, he just told the owner he was using his payback and the man said okay right away. Not a hint of arguing with the man who made sure he didn't get robbed taking thousands of dollars from his building weekly to take to the bank.

    Hearing the chime of the front door, Justin sat up straight as he noticed Bailey looking around for him. He gave her a small head nod when their eyes locked and waited for her to join him. "Hey." He said as soon as she sat down.

    Bailey smiled brightly at Justin as she sat down in the seat across from the man. She hung her purse on the chair before crossing her legs and relaxing. As the air was beginning to get chilly, Bailey made sure to wear something that would keep her warm no matter what they did afterward. "Hi. How are you?" She asked as she picked up the menu.

    The two of them have been good friends for the last month, and Bailey was quite happy with how things had turned out. She had a good feeling about Justin from the start and the more she got to know him, the more she felt confident that she wanted him to be in her life. Though Bailey had been surprised when Justin texted her after she left him her number. Even more surprised when the man wanted to spend time with her. It just seemed that Justin was a rather closed off person so Bailey wasn't expecting him to open up to her.

    Her eyes glanced over the menu, her head tilting a bit as she tried to decide what to get. She had heard about the diner's reputation so Bailey was surprised that they had been able to get in. Though, it seemed that Justin had some connections in the city. Bailey assumed it probably had to do with the man he bodyguarded. It was probably someone very important.

    Setting her menu down after a few moments, Bailey turned her full attention back to him. The smile across her face grew as she looked him over for a moment. "You look nice today," She told him before continuing on. "Did you have any thoughts on what you wanted to do after?"

    A light smile appeared on Justin's lips as Bailey's sweet voice met his ears. She surprisingly wasn't as annoying once you got to know her, which was a relief to Justin. He wasn't sure how he'd feel if she continued to ask him questions, or if he'd have to take her out before she learned too much. Thankfully, it was the latter.

    "Cold." Was Justin's simple answer to Bailey's question about him. The right corner of his lips lifting ever so slightly as he raised his coffee to his lips and took a small sip. "And you?" He asked once he placed the hot cup back onto the saucer that it was brought to him on. The light clink of the cup was the only sound between then as Justin flicked his eyes down at the menu once more to make sure he knew what he wanted to eat today.

    A small hum escaped from Justin as he listened to Bailey. A slight smile tugging on the other corner of his lips. "Thanks, you do as well." He replied as he narrowed his eyes slightly, really debating on what he felt like eating. "I was thinking we could either go to the local fair or we could go to a cider mill. This is good weather for both." He told her as he slowly raised his gaze towards the beauty that was across from him. Then, he slowly reached over and pointed at two different things on her menu. "The Chicken Hash and the Banana Nut Pancakes are the best things on the menu." He told her as he sat up straight in his seat.

    A couple of minutes later, the waitress came over for their orders. Justin stuck with his favorite thing on the menu, the chicken Hash, He wasn't really in the mood for breakfast food, so it was a good choice. Then, he sat back and slid his hands into the pockets of his Jacket. He was dressed for the weather, already knowing that they were probably going to be out all day."So, what do you think we should do?"

    A light laugh came from Bailey as she nodded in agreement. "It definitely has been cold. So the walk to and from school hasn't been too pleasant. Though my mind is more stuck on midterms which are just coming up next week." Bailey glanced to the side for a moment, her mind wandering on all of the studying she still had to do for her exams. "I'll just have to lock myself away in my apartment next week until the end of it."

    Once the waitress came over, Bailey ordered the banana nut pancakes that Justin had recommended. As the waitress left, Bailey turned her attention back to Justin. "I would like to go to the local fair. It sounds like a lot of fun." Bailey told him, a wide smile moving along her lips. "Plus, the fair will not be here for long so we should go while we have the chance. Also, I want to go on the Ferris wheel so badly. Besides, the cider mill will be open for longer."

    As Justin agreed to go to the fair today, Bailey continued onto something else, deciding to tell Justin about one of the professors she was having a difficult time with. He was a harsh grader and tended to give out hours of homework. Overall, Bailey was getting annoyed as it seemed that the professor ignored the fact that they all had other classes.

    "It is just really annoying because he is not even a good teacher. When I get something wrong on a project, he won't even explain why he marked points and I have to figure it out for myself." Bailey rolled her eyes slightly. As she did so, the waitress headed over and set their food down in front of them.

    Like usual, Justin was calm and quiet as he listened to Bailey as she spoke. Finding it nice to be able to just listen to her. It was quite nice, listening to someone like her. She may be pushy at some times, but times like now when she was just getting things off her chest. These are the times that surprisingly make Justin glad that he was around her. He was glad she was open to him.

    "You like the Ferris wheel?" Justin asked, a small smirk on his lips as he interrupted her for a moment to ask her a question. Then allowed for her to continue to speak. It seemed that their plans were made, they'd attend the county fair and ride some boring iron wheel. If it made Bailey happy, then he was more then happy to do so.

    Then, as she started to talk about her professor. A small frown appeared on his lips. "Isn't it good though that you're figuring out what's wrong? It'll help you in the long run, right?" Justin asked, trying to not allow his annoyance to show in the tone of his voice. He didn't know why, but he didn't like how stressed she seemed to be as she talked about this professor. "What professor is this one again?" Justin asked, deciding that he was going to make a house call after they hung out because it seemed that this dude needed a reality check.

    As the waitress came by with their food, Justin sat back as the food was placed in front of them. Then, he cut a small piece of the chicken off and stabbed a fried potatoes and offered it to Bailey to try without even thinking about it.

    "Yes, I like the Ferris wheel, don't you?" Bailey said with a small laugh. "I like being able to be up so high and to see everything around the fair. Plus, it is normally a nice break from all of the noise and the people at the fair. Though I assume that is not your favorite thing there so what do you like to do then?"

    "It is good that I figure out what is wrong but with programming, it is really difficult. Sometimes your program can have errors in it and still work. And it can take hours to figure out what the exact issue the professor had with it. It'll help me in the long run, you are right. But at the moment, it is making my life very difficult and taking time away from my other classes. I just feel like he is not taking everything into consideration" Bailey frowned slightly before letting out a sigh. "It is Professor Timbion. He is the older professor that didn't cancel class during that storm a month ago."

    Bailey shook her head a bit before deciding to push her irritation to the side. All she wanted was a moment to vent, but she certainly did not want to dwell on it the whole time she was with Justin. It was just nice to be able to tell Justin about her problems, it made her feel better.

    Once the food was on the table, Bailey smiled a bit and started to eat her own meal, the pancakes that Justin had recommended. Though, when he offered some of his meal, Bailey thanked Justin before taking a small bite of the chicken and eating the fried potato he offered. She let out a pleasant hum before agreeing with Justin that both meals were absolutely delicious. It didn't take long before Bailey was done eating. And once she was, she moved her hands into her laps. "Wow, that was delicious."

    A small smirk slowly appeared on Justin's lips as he listened to Bailey. Of course, she'd be the one who liked being able to see from the top and think about the quiet up there. What an odd one, if she wanted quiet thenin Justin's mind she should just leave. "I prefer the shooting games." He said casually, then shrugged his shoulders. She already knew that he had a gun collection, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise for her.

    Staying quiet, Justin slowly nodded his head at times as he listened to Bailey. Taking everything that she was saying to him in. He understood that she was upset, and he was making a mental plan in his head, he was going to try and help her out. In his own way.

    As they both finished eating, Justin brought out his wallet and placed down a couple of twenties for the bill and the tip for the waitress. He knew he left to much money, but he didn't really care. He was paying them for not bothering him. "Are you ready?" Justin asked as he scooted out of the booth. "Come on, I'll bring you back here some other time and you can try other things." He told her, then giving her a small teasing wink since she had eaten such a large portion.

    Once the two left, Justin motioned for Bailey to follow him. Justin led Bailey towards his new car, opening up the passenger side door for her. "There's no way we're walking the couple of blocks when I can show off my car." Justin said and motioned for her to sit down before closing the door for her. Then, he walked around and got into the drivers seat and started to drive to the fair.

    Bailey lightly smacked him on the chest. "Don't be rude." She told him, a teasing hint in her voice as she did so. "I was hungry and I had to skip lunch today." She told him as she followed him out of the restaurant. Though she took a moment to glance down at the table, where Justin left the money. Usually, they would end up arguing about who should pay but Bailey had decided to leave it alone today as Justin usually ended up winning that argument somehow. She then looked forward at him again. "But, yes, I would like to come back."

    Within a few moments, Bailey was standing in front of Justin's new car as he opened up the door for her. "Wow, this is a really nice car!" Bailey told him as she slid into the passenger seat and pulling on her seatbelt. As he drove, she glanced around the car, taking it in before looking back at Justin and smiling at him. The more she was around Justin, the more Bailey was surprised by just how much money he had. Though she could only assume he bodyguarded someone very important if they paid him that much. But she wasn't going to say anything about the amount of money he had. She just found it a little odd from time to time.

    Once they were at the fair, Bailey slid out of the car and made her way over to Justin's side, a large smile on her face as she did so. "It is going to be so much fun!" She told him before lightly bumping his side with her on, a little smirk on her face as she did so. "What do you want to do first? We shouldn't go on the Ferris Wheel until we're about to leave. We can go to one of their haunted houses or the rides? Oh unless you want to play the games first?!"

    While the ride to the fair was quick and smooth, it was also comfortable. Usually, Justin would hate silence. He'd constantlt be looking over his shoulder, wondering if he'd get jumped. If someone wanted to try and over take him, take him out to take his spot. Silence with Bailey though, was relaxing. She always seemed to bring an air of relaxation to Justin, and he was starting to get addicted to her.

    Sliding out of the car once he parted. Justin locked his car before glancing towards Bailey as he listened to her. A small hum escaping from his lips as he thought over what she was asking. "Why don't we go to a few rides, haunted houses aren't really fun until later, and it'll be annoying to win prizes and have to carry them around the whole night or coming back to the car constantly to drop things off." He explained as he nudged Bailey's shoulder with his arm in retaliation.

    Then, without so much as saying anything else, Justin instinctively wrapped an arm around Bailey's waist as he started to lead her into the crowded fair ground. squeezing between people and watching out for little kids that parent's didn't care to watch. "What ride did you want to go on first?" Justin asked as he glanced down at Bailey, then looked around them for a moment. There was that long bumpy slide, a few tea cup rides, and some that spun them in the air. All of them looking like they'll break at any moment, all of them seeming to be popular among the fair goers.
