"Alright, we're all set," said Benjamin as he placed the shopping bags in the car.
Sheila stood silent for a few seconds, observing everything they had bought: laptops, stuffed animals, headphones, phone accessories...
A part of Sheila felt guilty, as she initially only wanted to buy a new phone, just that, but in the end, she ended up with all these things bought by Benjamin.
'This bastard is very persuasive,' Sheila thought, remembering how Benjamin somehow always ended up persuading her.
He was very good at it.
So much so, that it was starting to scare her a bit.
"Oh, what do you think about going to an amusement park? You could take advantage and take photos with your new phone while we wait for your new line to activate."
'Another suggestion?' Sheila thought, surprised, as it seemed this man never ran out of ideas.
For a moment, Sheila thought about rejecting the idea, but remembering that it had been many years since she had gone to a place like that, she started to reconsider it.
The roller coaster… or the bumper cars, despite having vague memories of those moments from when she was a child, she couldn't help but feel very nostalgic.
'I don't think I can do much at the hotel besides studying or checking things on the phone... I guess it's not such a bad idea.'
"So, what do you think? Should I activate the GPS?" Benjamin asked as he unlocked his phone.
"Yes, do it," Sheila replied as she opened the driver's door.
Before Benjamin got in, Sheila started the car, to which he commented: "Congratulations, you are officially my new driver."
Sheila couldn't help but let out a small laugh, thinking: 'This son of a bitch...'
...
After a short trip where Benjamin was telling Sheila a story about how he won against a man he had lost to 3 times in a row because he was cheating at poker with the help of his friend who was the dealer...
As Sheila finished parking the car, making a superhuman effort to keep paying attention to Benjamin's story...
The moment the car stopped, Benjamin suddenly stopped talking.
"What happened?" Sheila asked, confused.
"We've arrived, so I'm closing the GPS app while... done."
"Done?"
"I just bought our tickets via the amusement park's website. We just need to show this QR code to get our wristbands."
'That was quick,' Sheila thought as she watched Benjamin put away his phone.
"Let's go."
"Wait, even though you knew they were cheating, how did you win that last round?"
Benjamin, hearing Sheila's question, couldn't help but smile mischievously while letting out a brief laugh.
"It was luck."
'Liar!'
Even though she had known Benjamin for a short time, Sheila was 95% sure that when he answered like that, it was because he was being sarcastic.
Staring at Benjamin with killer eyes, Sheila expected him to tell the truth, but...
"Hey, careful. You're going to get arrested for attempted eye-murder if you keep doing that."
'What a bastard,' Sheila thought as she looked away.
Then, both got out of the car and Benjamin started to guide Sheila towards the park entrance.
'It's huge...' Sheila thought, noticing how gigantic the park they were about to enter was.
She hadn't noticed how big it was because she was focused on driving while listening to Benjamin, but now that her attention was on the park...
Should she try to ride a roller coaster?
