I know Alex said just now that we will conquer our fears together, but… looking at him now all frozen to his seat next to me, I am starting to feel guilty for forcing him to ride this thing with me.
Alex is acting weird now with all that clinging he is making in my arms, just like a kid who clings to his mother for life.
Wait, does that mean he really sees me as his mother right now? Ah, just forget it. I am beginning to talk nonsense here.
"Hey," I called out to him, but he simply wouldn't budge and kept clinging to my arms for support. "Are you seriously afraid of heights or are you just taking this opportunity to cling to me like a girl?"
The moment I said that, Alex may have realized sooner what he has been doing for the past couple of minutes and immediately peeled himself away from me.
He looked at me in disbelief and asked, "Can't you tell that I am really afraid of heights over here?!"
