Chapter 301 - Big Words
"Oh, I thought you weren't afraid of those," Cage commented slyly. "You can grab my arm and hide your face if it helps." He snickered.
"Wouldn't you like that," she huffed. She wasn't scared of ghosts or horror but to humor him, she might scream a little. Hopefully, he wouldn't notice how fake they sounded.
Of course, the ride was smooth. It wasn't scary enough for her to scream but she took every opportunity to grab his hands and squeeze it tightly. He didn't complain.
When they came out, Katherine spotted a small store that was about to close. Without a second thought, she let go of Cage's hand and sprinted to it. With her wallet in hand, Cage could see her buying something.
And he didn't have a good feeling about the situation.
"What did you buy?" he asked, taking an involuntary step back, wondering if he made a grave mistake.
"You weren't completely dressed, so I bought you something," she said with a giggle. She produced a devil horn headband and showed it to him proudly.
"Katherine, no..." he groaned.
She smiled with glee. "It's a must!" she claimed. Cage continued to stare at her, hoping she wouldn't make him do it. It was then she pulled out the big guns. She let her eyes go wide and pleaded with him in a small voice.
His will broke down. "F.u.c.k. Okay. That's all!" he grumbled. He was the one who had brought her along. If it meant that she would be happier and less stressed about their trip to the amus.e.m.e.nt park, he would play along.
"Just you wait. This is just the beginning," she muttered evilly.
When they walked around in their newly acquired headbands, Cage felt slightly self-conscious. He turned to look at Katherine and found her pressing her lips together to stop herself from smiling. "Do I look silly?" he asked, tugging at one of the horns.
"No. I just never thought I would get to style you this way." She propped herself up on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose. "I guess, I need to click a picture of you."
Cage rolled his eyes but humored her. She had all sorts of ways to make him pose. He could only smile and let her have her way. She scrolled through her pictures as she asked.
"Where to next?"
Along the way, Cage found himself buying a matching pair of amus.e.m.e.nt park themed t-shirts. They quickly put them on and danced around the park with no end in sight. By the end of the night, their feet ached. Cage was tired but also happy. When the firework display took place, Cage felt his eyes flit from the illuminated sky to the beautiful woman beside him. The awed grin on her face and the spectacular view of her nose and arched lips. He couldn't help but feel that all the wear and tear was worth it.
He had to admit to himself, the places he went with her all seemed to turn magical.

Angelina watched as Katherine tore apart her closet to find something suitable to wear.
"This is not just a date with Cage, it is something bigger!" Katherine boasted, sticking her tongue out at Angelina. She, in turn, raised her brow.
"Get used to it. And make sure not to reveal yourself, you nerd," she huffed.
"Yes, I am a huge nerd. What will you do about it? Good thing my boyfriend is a nerd as well," Katherine said, not even bothering to hide her grin.
"Just to quench my curiosity. How big are we talking here?" Angelina made a motion with her hands. Katherine scrunched her brows.
"Wouldn't you like to know," she commented.
"That's why I am asking," Angelina sang.
"Stop talking about the size of my boyfriend's c.o.c.k and focus on what I am going to wear to meet Ryan Reynolds," Katherine sighed.
"So, between Ryan and Cage... who would you choose to take home tonight?" Angelina teased.
"Is that even a question? Cage wins by default. Ryan can be happy with his wonderful wife and kids. I'll have to make some for Cage so that he can reach the daddy level of attractiveness," Katherine joked.
Angelina remained silent for a second. "I didn't know you were ready to pop out his babies so soon. Do you have something to tell me?" Angelina asked after a while.
"Nonsense. There is nothing I need to tell you. I'm just joking," she snipped.
"But wasn't Ryan Reynold's on your famous five list? Five people who are so far beyond your reach and you would have no chance with any of them even if hell froze over. But now you do. What are you doing? Passing up on this chance?" Angelina, ever the prankster.
"Well, I got the man who was on the top of that list. Who cares? I don't have eyes for another man, be they angels dropping from heaven or crawling up from hell."
"Those are some big words!" Angelina praised. She hopped forward and picked out a dress that would perfectly suit the occasion without looking too extravagant or less impressive. "This will do." She handed the dress to Katherine and slapped her butt to rush her off.
"Well, thank you. I've been working out so that my ass looks plump." Katherine smirked.
"Well, it looks marvelous." Katherine turned around immediately, her cheeks flaming for a second before her brain caught up and informed her that the voice was definitely Cage's.
"I'll change," she stuttered and pushed everyone out of the room. It took her a couple of minutes to get dressed. When she came out, Cage pointed a finger and her and asked her to turn. It seemed that he was going the overbearing CEO way this time.
"You like it?" Katherine asked, popping her hip a little bit.
Beside Cage, Angelina snorted. "I picked out the dress. Of course, it looks good."
Katherine shushed Angelina and looked at Cage. He had moved forward and within moments she had wrapped her hands around his neck and opened her mouth to him. Pulling away, she looked at Angelina.
