Gabe raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking, Wayne, I didn’t expect that you would regard it as “dating”: You don’t bring the kids with you when you go ona date! Otherwise, it’s not a date but a family gathering. Moreover, I thought a guy like you would be more experienced in dating than me. After all, you’re always surrounded by women who want to throw themselves at you before you met Anna. However, for fear that Wayne would be upset if he spoke his mind out loud, Gabe then added, “You can prepare her breakfast with care. For example, you could write something like ‘Good morning, it’s good to see you’ on her coffee cup.”
“Goon.”
“You’d better not bring your children on a date. So, stop taking them to amusement parks with you. You can take pictures for Anna there and then go on a roller coaster or to a haunted house with her.”
Wayne turned pale when he thought about roller coasters. He had once ridden a roller coaster with Anna but never wanted to do it again. However, he felt that going to a haunted house would be a good idea.
“And then?”
“Then, you can take her to a popular restaurant in the evening. You can take pictures of her and post them on Instagram. Believe me, girls love it. Go to a regular theater instead of a private theater. You can eat popcorn and drink Coke in the crowd, and that’s also romantic.” Wayne frowned because he hadn’t realized before that it was so troublesome to date. “Is there anything else?” he asked.
“Also, when you take her home at night, you need to send her a little gift. You can secretly buy something she likes in a store during the day, such as a doll or jewelry. It will show that you’ve been paying attention to Gabe became increasingly excited and blurted out, “When my wife and I went on our first date, I gave her the necklace she had her eye on. She was so impressed that she agreed to go on a second date with me.”
The following day, Anna had just finished breakfast when she got a call from Wayne, telling her to meet him at the door. Anna then walked out of the house and noticed Wayne standing in the courtyard.
She said, “You could have just come in. Why do I have to come here and get you?”
Wayne handed her the Starbucks paper bag he was holding and said, “Here you go.”
Anna took a look at it and exclaimed, “What? A sandwich and coffee? I’ve already had breakfast.”
“Are you free today? Let’s go on a date.”
“Where are we going?”
“Amusement park.”
Anna’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed, “That’s fantastic! The kids asked me to take them there last night! I’ll go tell them this good news! Wait for me.”
She was about to leave when Wayne grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t go.”
“What’s wrong?” Anna asked suspiciously.
“It’s just the two of us today.”
“Just the two of us?” Anna asked, her eyes widening in surprise.
Wayne pulled a Minnie hairband from his pocket and said, “Yes. Let’s, go, shall we?” Anna took the hairband with surprise, then exclaimed, “Really?”
She went there with Wayne anyway. It was a weekday, and it had snowed the day before, so hardly any people were there. Wayne immediately led her to the haunted house inside as they just walked in. They were standing in front of the deserted haunted house. Anna shivered as the cold wind blew through her hair.
“Are you sure we’ll go there at first?” she asked. Meanwhile, she looked at Wayne, puzzled, and assumed he was having some kind of problem at work.
Wayne grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I’ve heard it’s a lot of fun”
“Allright, let’s go in.”
They then arrived at the entrance after passing through two doors. When Anna felt that Wayne tightly squeezed her hand, they had just walked in the haunted house. Wayne stared nervously at the door when she turned around, not even blinking.
Sensing that Wayne might be nervous, Anna asked him, “Are you scared?”
“No.” Wayne denied it right away. At the same time, Anna clearly felt that he squeezed her hand tightly.
“Are you sure you really want to go in? Let’s get out of here, dear”
Wayne stroked her shoulder and said, “It’s all right. Don’t be afraid. I got you. Let’s go.”
Anna was very skeptical of his words but knew she couldn’t embarrass him. “All right, let’s go in,” she said hesitantly,
The haunted house in that amusement park wasn’t huge. After ten minutes, the two walked to the exit. The sun was shining down on them, making them both appear pale.
Wayne was holding the trash can and seemed to be on the verge of vomiting. Anna stood behind him, rubbing her ears in shock. The scene in the haunted house didn’t scare her, but Wayne did.
“Are you okay?” Anna walked over to Wayne and tapped him on the shoulder after regaining her composure. He had only just touched her shoulder when he stood up straight. He stared at Anna as if she was one of the scary ghosts.
Anna couldn’t stop laughing and asked, “Are you really scared?”
Wayne attempted to appear less terrified and defended himself by saying, “No! They didn’t frighten me! I was just feeling sick.” Anna thought he had a good reason. The zombies in the haunted house were disgusting, and their makeup was very realistic. Wayne had been so terrified that he kept yelling so loudly that the actors playing the zombies didn’t dare to approach them. Actually, he was terrified rather than disgusted.
Seeing that Wayne was still feeling terrible, Anna stopped making fun of him and didn’t say anything about him lying. She said, “You’re right, dear. That was really disgusting. What is our next destination?”
Wayne paused for a moment before replying, “To the roller coaster.”
Anna’s eyes widened as she touched his brow and asked, “What’s the matter with you today? Are you all right?”
