The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 53

''Kenna . . . we're here,'' I hear a familiar voice say beside me which causes me to open my eyes, blinking a few times before looking around; seeing that people are still queuing to get on this ride.

''Are you sure?'' I ask, looking around.

Aidan chuckles, ''Very. I was worried that you might've had a panic attack or something because you kept your eyes closed and you just . . . held tightly onto my hand and even onto the railing.'' He replies.

''Wow, I'm good. I'm good,'' I stand up, slowly and quickly step down from the ride; my hand never letting go of his.

We both walk further away from the roller coaster as I try to make sure that I'm calmed down. The roller coaster ride almost gave me a heart attack but I'm fine; mostly surprised by how extreme it was but I'm going to be just fine.

He looks down at me, ''You okay, Kenna?'' He asks, his voice hinting with sincerity while his expression shows the amount of worry.

''Yeah . . . I'm okay.'' I reply with a smile plastered on my face; wanting to show him how the roller coaster didn't affect me much. It did affect me but just not as much.

We keep quiet for a few seconds before he starts to speak up again, his hand grabbing onto mine in a slight surprise but my fingers remained entwined with him. ''Do you want to go someplace quiet?'' He asks, looking directly into my eyes with a small smile.

''Where do you have in mind?'' I chuckle.

''Come with me,'' He replies as he pulls onto my hand, slowly leading me away from the crowd as we walk further away from the lights and fair.

The warmth radiating from his hand is somehow soothing me, letting me enjoy the night out without having to worry about feeling cold because I know that even if I do end up freezing, he'll be there for me to keep me warm; probably in his arms. Maybe, even more than that . . . we might as well snuggle.

''You're not going to murder me, right?'' I ask, realising that we're out in the dark, only the sound of cars but far away at the highway.

He laughs, ''Even if that does sound tempting, I wouldn't really want to kill you. Just . . . trust me,'' He adds, looking at me with a smile; we both walking further and further away without looking back at where we came.

I trust Aidan, I always have. It wouldn't be an issue when it comes to trusting him; because for as long as we've been friends, he has never broken my trust. He keeps his promises, he respects me as his best friend and he cares for me like I'm his little sister so, I have no point in not trusting him.
