A different way of seeing things - Part one

Author's note: So guys! First Covenant-fic, I hope you like it! I admit Aaron Abbot isn't exactly my favorite character (I'm more of a Reid and Pogue-girl) but I always enjoy seeing new sides of people. Also wrote this because there aren't a lot of Abbot-centered fics, and let's just admit it: Kyle Schmid is REALLY hot!
So enjoy this one-shot and let me know if you want a continuation ;)
PS. Pics are at my profile so be sure to check them out!


Reid POV

What the hell?

Aaron 'the Prick' Abbot was smiling... At a girl! Reid just couldn't believe his eyes.

For some reason, most likely boredom, the blond Son had decided to follow his fellow swimmer out of the school that day. Which was why he was currently sitting in Tyler's Hummer outside of Ipswich Public High School watching the other man walk up to a blonde petite girl with a smile all over his face. And when he pulled said girl into a tight embrace Reid felt his jaw drop.

Who was this man and what had he done with Aaron Abbot the prick?

Aaron POV

Aaron placed a hand on the small of Amanda's back and gently rubbed the skin exposed between her tanktop and jeans shorts.

"Hey, Aaron." She whispered into his chest and the slightly older man felt himself smile wider at the warmth in her voice. Having gone a whole week without seeing her his temper had been somewhat... okay, so it had been really bad, but feeling her in his arms made all his tension and frustration go away.

"You ready?" He asked and watched her wave goodbye to some of her friends as they walked over to his shiny Cadillac Escalade, opening the door for her and getting in himself before driving off to the adventure they had in front of them.

Six hours later Aaron and Amanda pulled up at the small Carson-residence. The girl's curfew was at 9:30 and they still had about ten minutes before Amanda was supposed to be in bed.

Amanda looked out the passenger-seat window and sighed. Aaron looked at her and brought a hand to her cheek, bringing her attention back to him.

"What's wrong?" He asked and inced as close as he could in the car.

"I don't want to leave just yet." She whispered and leaned her blonde head against his strong shoulder. He smelled as good as always and she breathed in his scent in an attempt to to keep it with her.

Aaron kissed her temple softly and played a little with her long blonde hair. In all honesty he didn't want her to go either.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" He asked and Amanda looked at him with her gold flecked blue eyes.

"Nothing, unless you have already planned something for me." Amanda smiled and Aaron felt his heart skip a little at the sight of it.

"I was thinking about asking you out, that is if you don't mind." He felt a little smirk wanting to make its way onto his lips but he tried his best to hold it back. He really liked Amanda and he didn't want to jeopardize anything by getting cocky with her.

"What, like a date?" Well, at least she was thinking along the same lines as him and that was always a good start.

"If you'd like it to be." This time he couldn't help a small smirk to show but the blonde just giggled at the sight of it.
"I'd like that."

"So I'll call you?" He wasn't really sure if that was a question or a statement but Amanda smiled nonetheless.
"Definitely." She pecked him quickly on the lips, as if she was nervous to hang on to the kiss. "Bye." The wide grin on her face showed Aaron what he had suspected: She really was as innocent as she looked.

"Bye." He smiled back at her and just as she closed the car-door Aaron noticed Amanda's old man standing out on the porch watching them with amused eyes.

"Good evening, Mr Carson." He greeted out the now open car-window, making the older man nod and approach the car after having kissed his daughter's head goodnight as she'd walked inside the house.

"Good evening, Aaron. I see your right on time as usual." Robert Carson looked down at his wrist watch that showed that Amanda's curfew was now in play.

"Well, you know. Curfews are set for a reason." Aaron answered with a smile, making Mr Carson's lips twitch into one as well.

"And a good reason at that."

"Actually, sir. I wanted to ask you something."

"And let me guess, this question has something to do with my one and only angel-like daughter. Am I correct?"
Aaron smiled to himself. It was clear where Amanda had gotten her bright head from.

"I was thinking about taking Amanda out tomorrow night. Would that be alright with you?" He had known Mr Carson, the Police Chief of Ipswich, since he was a kid but it wasn't until about a month ago when his daughter moved into town that Aaron actually started feeling a bit nervous around the man.

"You know the rules?" Robert asked the high school-boy, his light brown eyes boring into the young man's.

"No alcohol, no drugs, no sex, get her home before 9.30 or it'll be my ass in the holding cell down at the precinct." Aaron recited the Chief's rules for his daughter with a straight face, his blue eyes lever leaving the older man's.

"Well..." Robert drew out on the word as if wanting to make the young man sweat a little. "She's still just 16 years old but I'll make you a deal. I'll let you guys go out and I'll move the curfew 'til 11, provided that she calls me at least twice under the night and if anything happens to her I'll make sure you'll never be able to pick up a girl again."

The Chief smiled as he spoke the last part but Aaron knew that if something should happen to Amanda the man would have no problem castrating him and making it look like an accident.

"My intention is for us to have a good time together, and if anyone tries to ruin that you might have to arrest me after all." Aaron too had a smile on his face but hearing the seriousness in his voice Robert smiled and backed away from the car.

"Then I don't have a problem with you taking her out. Good night, Aaron and say hi to your parents for me."

"Yes, sir, thank you. Good night." Aaron threw a last look up to Amanda's lit up window and he smiled as he saw the girl sitting in it watching him with those clear blue eyes.

Tomorrow night couldn't come fast enough.
