I'm not going to write a chapter for EVERY episode after Foyet Escapes Jail [Spoiler]. I will Fast Forward many things. Just saying.
Aaron glanced at his watch again for the 10th time, completely troubled what Amy wanted to talk about. She had told him to be at the restaurant by 9:00 pm and here he was; 10 minutes after 9. She had arranged a perfect date were she would be able to talk to him AND Spencer at the exact same time in a public place. Somewhere were Aaron wouldn't be able to strangle him maybe? She was always couscous.
Aaron walked back and forth at the other side of the front door. She was late. 30 minutes late. 'That boy is dead. Dead I say.' Aaron thought as she paced back and forth, looking down at his feet. He knew very well he had told those two 11:00 o'clock sharp. It was 30 past and he didn't even hear a car passing by.
"She's grounded. Grounded for 10 weeks! 20 if she doesn't show up in the next 10 minutes." He thought. He then felt his phone vibrate in his pocket followed by the lyrics
'I found a reason for me, to change who I use to be.'
He knew the ringtone; the Reason by Hoobastank. Amy had placed the song under her name on his phone for the soul reason of the fact she can't stop singing it in the shower. Her own words were "It's something you won't forget I sang!"
"Amy Elizabeth Turner, were are you?" Aaron said in his you-are-so-screwed voice.
"Daddy… A man came to my prom…"
The color in Aaron's face turned whit, and then he rushed for his keys. This thing shouldn't be happening. "Honey, where are you?" Silence was all that he herd.
"Amy? "
"…."
"Amy!"
"Daddy?" Amy said as she pulled open a seat for herself. Immediately, Aaron got up and walked toward her, giving her a thoughtful hug. A cough was then heard from beside her. Aaron glanced at Spencer, giving him the famous Hotchner death stare.
"You're late." He said while he sat back down across from the two love-birds. Amy rubbed her neck with her arm with a slight blush across her cheeks. Aaron Glared at Spencer. Clearly this wasn't going to be a fun little chit chat.
"I'm so sorry, the traffic here was so bad!" explained Amy as she pushed a stain of her hair behind her ear. She then explained exactly how hard it was driving from her place then next to Spencer and then how Spencer was, in her words, 'acting like a being a baby and wouldn't leave his house'. It was clear by all the talking Amy was making and the slight but subtle nods and 'mhm' coming from Spencer that Amy was the one who thought up the idea of a lunch date with her boyfriend and father. Great; now Aaron had more disrespect towards Spencer for not being a man and standing next to Aaron as a man.
"So daddy..." Amy started as she sipped a bit of the tea Aaron previously ordered for her. He knew it was silly but he always ordered her drink before she got to the cafe they both always eat at. He knew exactly what she would order; pomegranate passion fruit tea with a lemon on the side and 2 splenda packets. She seemed to always order that wherever they went and if they didn't have that specific tea she would get a face and sadly order a simple ice tea.
"Can you please give me a grilled cheese sandwich?" Amy said as she handed back the small menu as she twirled the bottom of her hair in a circular movement. There was always something about grilled cheese that caught Amy's appetite just as much as a new musical piece from yo-yo ma. Aaron nodded and ordered what he normally ordered when he was out in public; coffee.
"And you miss?" the waiter asked as he got ready to write down her drink order. Amy looked alarmed for a second and took the menu from the waiter once more, trying to see what she could order. Seconds passed by, then minutes till the waiter excused himself to tend to other customers. For a split second even Aaron was getting bored of her looking the long list of drinks till he took hold of the menu and scanned it himself.
"Dad! I was reading that!" she said as she tried to reach for the menu. Even though she finished growing when she was 16, she was still short compared to Aaron. Aaron made this scoffing sound and read the list of drinks on the menu. Surprising only one drink stood out to him; pomegranate passion fruit tea
'Girls like stuff… Right?' he asked himself as he called the waiter over. The waiter looked at Amy; waiting for her to say something. "She'll have the pomegranate passion fruit tea. Can you please bring a lemon wedge with that though?" Aaron asked as he shut the menu and handed back to the boy who just simply nodded and walked away, probably happy that he could get on with his job.
"Dad! I don't like tea…" She said as she looked down at the table. 'Awe man…' Aaron said to himself as he straighten his posture and tried to give the best poker face he could manage while he felt like crap for ordering something she didn't even drink.
"Don't worry; I have a strong feeling you'll like this kind." Aaron said as he leaned against the chair. For the start of the date, Aaron found out some pretty interesting things about his daughters school. Apparently they had these things in her Orchestra class called 'Sectionals.' It was, in fancy words, tutoring. They even had a drafting teacher who passed students if they paid them, teachers who jumped on students desk and scream "bloody hell!", even a teacher who talked about a his dog penny for most of the period. To think this was the best public school in Virginia.
"and then he slammed his meter stick on the table and laughed like an evil scientist. That sure woke everyone up." She explained as she tried to imitate how his body language was. She then suddenly stopped, noting the man coming to their table to hand her the warm tea along with her grilled cheese and Aaron's coffee. From the look on her face, Aaron knew she wasn't comfortable with trying new things.
Quickly, Aaron squeezed the lemon into the tea and tore open the spenda packets into the liquid. He had seen JJ do this many times; surly it would work with this drink as well.
"Drink up." Aaron said softly as he placed the spoon in the cup, gesturing her to stir and try it. With the face she made, he knew she wasn't very excited to do so. Slowly she picked up the cup, sniffed it and pressed it softly to her lip. A small slurp was herd, making Aaron smile. Then spontaneously, more slurps were herd, making Aaron smile brighter. She had liked the drink.
"This is great!"
"Dad?" Amy said again, trying to regain her father's attention. Almost like a bitch slap back to reality, Spencer coughed; trying to inform Aaron and Amy that he was still here. Aaron glanced at Spencer, giving him the Don't-You-Dare-Screw-Around-With-Me-I-Know-Where-You-Live glare, then back to Amy. Spencer gulped, realizing this could very well be his death bed. Aaron smiled; realizing this little possibility as well.
"Daddy can you please say something?"
