“Oh, I do. Don’t worry. I won’t let you overheat,” he says with a wink.

I look at him and notice his long black hair is in a bun on top of his head, I don’t know why that look is really sexy on him, but it is. Few men can really pull it off. His blue eyes are bright and full of excitement and, when he grins at me, his dimples pop.

“Great, I’d hate to get too hot,” I say winking back.

Asher chuckles as he pulls out of the driveway. I look at my house and notice the curtains pull back. Well, I guess I am going to have to have a talk with the parents sooner than later.

I shake the thoughts of them. I just need to focus on this date.

I am curious to see what Asher has up his sleeve.

He’s wearing shorts, and a t-shirt. He looks comfortable and prepared for the weather.

He puts some sunglasses on when the sun shines through the front window and, before I know it, we are pulling up to an amusement park.

I take in the park and look back at him shock.

“Okay, I guess I didn’t expect this,” I murmur.

“Well, I’m full of surprises,” he says.

“Right, well I think this is going to be great,” I say excitedly. I’m not one for all of the rides; I mostly play the side games and check out the tradeshows.

“Here, I got you a couple things,” Asher says pulling a bag from the backseat.

I open it and find a pair of sunglasses, which I hadn’t thought about grabbing before I left, and a hat just in case I ended up needing one.

“Thank you,” I say putting them both on.

“Perfect,” he says, lightly kissing me on the lips before getting out of the car.

I follow him out and take his hand in mine as we walk towards the entrance.

They have all taken me some place unexpected. I think it really has helped me see who they all are individually. If these last couple weeks have taught me anything, it’s that I want them all very much. They showed me that they are more than money. They took this request seriously.

I hope to have many more dates with all of them in the future.

Kyla lets out a squeal when she wins another carnival game. She has won so many stuffed animals that I had to make several trips back to my car so that my hands weren’t so full.

Also, the amount of food she ate was shocking. I wasn’t disgusted but impressed; nothing seemed to faze her.

The smile on her face hasn’t left all day. We didn’t really go on any rides but the Ferris wheel. We mostly played the side games. I didn’t mind though; I was all for doing whatever made her happy. This was a day to have fun.

She grabs the giant top prize gorilla that we spent a ridiculous amount of money winning, and I take her hand in mine as we start walking towards the car. It’s almost dinner time and I promised the men I would bring her back if she was up for it. I have no doubt that they are eager to see if she is interested in continuing this relationship now that she gotten to know us all better..

The clouds darkened as we were playing, but they seemed to have gotten worse in a matter of seconds.

Before we know it, the rain starts pouring down. A shock comes over us for a split second before we bolt it to my car.

When we get to my car, we are both soaking wet and laughing.

“Oh my god, that was not how I expected this to end,” Kyla says laughing.

“And how did you expect this to end?” I ask turning to her.

She stops laughing, looks me in the eyes, and swallows hard.
