Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 690 - Six Hundred And Ninety: Be A Man

The third point of view:

Akim looked like a kid who just saw Disney hood for the first time. He was simply amazed at the number of crowds present and the wonderful rides the park had to offer. He had seen this place a lot of times online but it was much better now that he was here.

Truthfully, he could have come here if he wanted to but that would warrant his parents renting out the whole place so he could play "safer" while his guards watched. Hence, coming here became a lifelong dream as he wondered about the time where he could play in the crowd freely without hesitation.

"God, you're like a kid," Anika chuckled, it was quite a scene.

"I can't help it!" Akim said, "You don't how exhilarating freedom is until you lose it," He turned to her, asking, "How many times have you been here?"

"None," She answered without hesitation.

Akim turned to her with shock on his face, "You mean to tell me that you have never been here?"

"Yes," She simply shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Oh my God!" Akim exclaimed, running his hand through his hair. She meant to tell him that she hadn't visited a wonderful place like this even when she had the time and freedom? It was insane!

"Why?" he couldn't help but ask. It just didn't make sense. Having been restricted all of his life, Akim had decided that he would take advantage of every little chance to enjoy what life had to offer.

"I don't know, I just never thought about it," was her reply.

Akim was stunned, "You just never had the time to have fun?" he found it hard to believe.

"Yeah," I had to spend most of my time plotting your downfall, Anika said in her mind. She had been designed from birth to be his nemesis, there was no time for fun.

"You are weird," Akim said. Unfortunately, he liked weird.

"Come on then," he was the one to grab her arm this time, "Let's go have fun!"

And fun they did have. The rides weren't as exciting as Akim did - it was more than exciting! He couldn't remember the number of times they screamed - the screams just never ended.

Anika even managed to take a hilarious photo of him screaming out his lungs. How did she manage to do that? He doesn't know but she's simply amazing.

They rode the Bumper cars, Tilt-A-whirl, Insanity, and a whole lot of others. At a point, they ended up on the Ferris wheel and that was where strange things began to happen.

As they ride the Ferris wheel up so high, they had a wonderful bird's eye view of the kingdom. They had spent a lot of time outside that it was nearing evening, the sky slowly growing dark in the distance. The dusk took away much of the heat, and they could stare at the sky comfortably.

Akim turned that instance only to catch a breathtaking view of her hair blowing in the wind. He saw her peerless neckline which looked really enticing and gulped. He felt heat all of a sudden as a graphic image of him kissing that spot of her neck emerged in his mind.

God, what was wrong with him? His heart began to pound loud in his ear and he rubbed his chest as if to calm the feeling.

But then, curiosity got the best of him and he turned to look at her one more time, and unfortunately for him, their eyes met and held.

Time stopped for Akim, no, for the both of them because Anika didn't seem to move as well. He looked into her eyes and his breath hitched - it was the most beautiful green he had ever seen.

They said green eyes are extremely unique and very rare! It has been estimated that only two percent of the world's population have them, Akim couldn't agree more. Anika was simply unique.

Anika suddenly moved and Akim forgot how to breathe. What was going on? There was no way she was about to kiss him right? But then, she also had a habit of kissing him? Oh Boy.

Akim gulped as her face neared and he subconsciously swallowed down saliva. This is it, the second time he's about to lose his precious lips to the same woman. God, Jasmine would grin ear to ear once she heard this.

He already had so much anticipation for this kiss that it came as a huge surprise to him when Anika's lips suddenly took a ninety-degree turn. She whispered into his ears instead,

"Look into the camera,"

That was when Akim realized that her phone was out and ready to take a picture of them together. Akim didn't know whether to be relieved that the kiss never happened or to break that in tears because the kiss never happened.

However, he recognized one thing, Anika was a big tease. He noticed the way she seemed to breathe down on his ears even after her announcement. It made his heart breathe faster but he composed himself. Since this was nothing but a game to her, he would play along with her.

"Oh, right," He cleared his throat and readjusted himself on his seat. It was just the both of them in the cabin, so Akim smiled at the camera while noticing that the Ferris wheel was beginning to descend.

Anika positioned the camera so it captured both of them and put the delay, "Here we go, in one… two…"

It suddenly happened that before the third count, Anika suddenly turned and pressed a peck to his cheek and the camera ended up taking that. Even after the selfie was taken, Akim remained in his position, shocked to the core. What just happened?

"You -! "

But that was the moment the Ferris-wheel stopped and Anika vanished before he could even question her.

Akim sighed, he can't take her teasing anymore. It was high time he showed Anika who was the man here.. Yeah, he just had to be a man and confront her.
