Unconditional Love Chapter 8

I laughed, standing up and helping her up from her seat. She sounded like a little kid the way she said it and she gave me a big hug before we made our way over to the line. It was pretty' long and I was feeling a little annoyed that this meant we were probably going to have to wait for quite a while before we got to the front of the line and onto the ride.

I hated waiting; but I would put up with it because I loved Alison and I wanted to make her happy. Even if it meant doing something as stupid as getting on' the Ferris wheel. Okay, maybe that wasn't' so stupid, but this damn line certainly was the stupidest thing I had ever seen in my life.

After what seemed like an eternity, we finally reached the front. I gave the guy our tickets and we were' seated in one of the cars waiting for him to start moving us. It took all but about fifteen minutes before we were at the very top, with all the stopping and starting to let other people on in the process. Once we reached the destination though it really turned out to be well worth it as the moon was full hovering above the ocean.

Alison snuggled closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Isn't it beautiful," she whispered. "It's like the moon is just hanging there."

"Always looked kind of weird to me,"

"It's not weird," she nudged my arm and I could not help but laugh just a little. Sitting with her here, overlooking the ocean, I felt as though I were completely at peace. I was glad the fighting that had gone on for months between us had finally come to a stop, and that we could enjoy ourselves.

"Mike,"

I glanced over at her and she smiled up at me weakly and I had a feeling she was about to bring something up that had something to do with those old arguments. I just hoped it did not lead to any unnecessary drama,

"Yeah,"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure..."

I waited for her to continue, nervous about where this was going to lead.
