They reached Disneyland and Zula was not happy to see the crowds. The traffic was visibly more dense as they approached the amusement park and there is a line to park! Before she got a chance to voice her displeasure, Ron drove on the side, and found a spot. She watched him put the parking receipt on the windshield.
"How did you get it?", she was genuinely puzzled.
Ron only winked and pulled her toward the entrance.
"Oh…", Zula sighed when she saw lines… lines of people, everywhere! There are security lines, ticket lines, lines, lines, lines!
"Don't look at them.", Ron told her with a mysterious smile and started leading her away.
Zula wanted to ask where are they going, the entrance is right there (where the lines are)… but she decided to keep it to herself. It does not matter, anyway. As long as she is with Ron, she is happy, and it's a date!
Ron stopped in front of a wall, partially covered with vines and he did a movement with his hand and the wall moved, revealing a hidden door!
Zula was impressed. A great way to skip the lines! But… is this legal?
"What do you want to do first? Eat? Play games? Go for a ride?", Ron offered while leading her away from the hidden door which was already closed again.
"I don't know.", she admitted. "You said you planned for today."
"Yes. It's a date! That is why I planned for us to have a good time. If you want me to take the lead, I can do that." Ron saw that Zula nodded and he added: "If you don't feel like doing something, let me know. After all, my goal is for you to have a good time, so that you accept when I invite you for a second date."
Zula smiled while thinking, 'He is already planning for a second date! Ron is awesome!'
They held hands and walked through the crowded streets. It's amazing that the park officially opened less than half an hour ago for general public and it's already packed.
They spent most of the morning playing carnival games: throwing hoops around moving sticks, and banana-shaped projectiles in gorilla's mouth and they earned number of plushies. Ron bought them matching Minnie and Mickey backpacks to carry their winnings, and they snacked between games. Zula's favorite is a super-soft plush elephant which Ron won for her by shooting at the moving targets. He scored a bullseye all five times! Her boyfriend is amazing.
Back to present...
Ron observed Zula looking toward the nearby rollercoaster ride.
"Do you want to go there?"
Zula nodded enthusiastically, but her face fell when she saw… the lines.
"Maybe later?", she suggested.
Ron rejected her request. "We didn't come here for later. Come."
He took her to the fastpass machine and inserted something inside.
Zula read the information and understood that with this pass, they can skip the line! It is like a reservation system which gives you a one hour timeframe within which you don't wait in the line, but go to the front right away! However, the information above the machine showed that the next fastpass window is for the late afternoon. That means how they can get their fastpasses but need to come later to use them. Zula pouted.
She was surprised (again) to see that the machine gave them two fastpasses which can be used immediately.
"You are amazing!", she exclaimed. "How did you do that?"
"I came prepared.", he winked and pulled her toward the front of the line.
He will not admit that Sarah gave him that card which he can put in the machine for two immediate fastpasses for ANY ride without limits. What Ron does not know is that behind all that is Eve: hacking the system and giving them access to rides. Another thing he does not know is that he does not need that card at all; Sarah gave it to him only to hide Eve's presence and to make him believe that it's all in the card. The truth is that even without the card, if Ron (or Zula) tap the option on the screen to generate the fastpass, it would work, because Eve is watching.
The ride was amazing! Zula screamed from excitement and enjoyed it very much.
With Eve's help from the background, Ron and Zula took many rides and they had a lunch in a pirate-themed restaurant.
After an eventful several hours and more rides, Ron and Zula bought corn-dogs and chilled drinks and had them on a bench as an afternoon snack.
Ron finished his two corn-dogs, kept his drink on the side and laid on the bench, placing his head on Zula's lap.
After a slight hesitation, Zula ran her fingers through his dark brown hair and admired the view of her boyfriend relaxing with his eyes closed.
"Are you having fun?", Ron asked without opening his eyes.
"Yes.", she admitted.
He smiled. "Do you want to do repeat any of the rides, or to try something new?"
"I want to repeat all of them and try whatever we didn't try so far.", Zula said enthusiastically.
Ron opened his eyes and his smile widened. "Really?"
"Yes. I want to try everything, with you."
Zula didn't lie. She knows that the whole day is amazing because she is with Ron. If it's anyone else, it would not be so much fun.
Ron propped himself up and turned toward Zula with his legs still up on the bench, trapping her between his arm and his torso.
"You want to try everything, with me?"
Zula realized that he is close. Too close. But she didn't mind. She remembered those two kisses he stole from her at the White Mansion and her heartrate increased. He didn't kiss her on the lips since then. Will he do it now? Or maybe he is waiting for her to kiss him? Oh, gosh! Should she kiss him? There are people walking on the path right in front of them. A lot of people! They should NOT be kissing for others to see!
Zula remembered that he asked her a question and she responded with a nod.
Ron inched closer, and slightly moved to the side. He rested his chin on her shoulder and tilted his head toward her.
Zula felt his breath on her neck, and it made her feel all tingly. She closed her eyes. She wanted to know, what is he up to? But she didn't dare to ask. Somehow, him being so close, his body almost leaning on her, made her nervous but at the same time it felt good as well.
Zula almost jumped out of her skin when Ron kissed her neck.
"Be careful what you wish for… It might come true.", his whisper splashed on her neck and his lips brushed against her skin, making her hair stand on ends.
