XI

A Brief Respite

Dylan and Anthony

Later on that day, I was straightening up the room before Anthony and I left the house. I picked up my dress from the night before and sighed. "Great, the beads are all tangled together," I said. "Natalie is going to kill me." I sat down on the bed and started to try and loosen the beads from each other.



"Do that later," Anthony said from the doorway where he had been standing. "Let's go."



"Alright, whatever you say," I said happily, throwing the dress back onto the bed. I stood up and grabbed my coat, pulling it on as I followed Anthony to my car.

They had decided to drive down the 5 Freeway until six, when they would return home. Anthony would be driving down and then they would switch places before they returned.



As they drove, Anthony glanced over at Dylan, who was staring out her open window.



"I'm fine Anthony," she said, looking at him. "It's just going to take me a while to get used to it."



Nodding, Anthony saw a sign for the 57 Freeway and he swerved across two lanes to get onto it.

"Where are you going?" Dylan asked, confused as they got onto the freeway.

"Somewhere else," Anthony said simply.

Still looking confused, Dylan nodded and settled back against the seat, letting Anthony drive them to their destination.

I was surprised when Anthony drove into the entrance of Knott's Berry Farm, and amusement park. "Knott's?" I asked him.

He ignored me and followed the cars in front of us into the parking lot. Then he put the cover on my car and got out.

I got out too, still amazed that he had brought us here.

As we walked to the ticket booths, Anthony took my hand and said, "Natalie and Alex said I should bring you here since this is your favorite am-amu-" Stopping, he shook his head in frustration and looked down at me.

"A-muse-ment," I said slowly to him.

"Amusem-ment," Anthony said carefully.

"Yeah, that's right," I said, kissing his cheek quickly. "When did they tell you that?" I then asked.

"This morning," Anthony said.

I was about to ask another question when we reached the ticket booth and bought our tickets to go inside.

Once we were inside the park, Anthony turned to me and said, "Wherever you want to go."

I smiled happily and grabbed his hand, pulling him off to the side, down a path towards the rides. "Will you go on the rides with me?" I asked him as we walked hurriedly.

He nodded and said, "Why do you think I wore this today?" He had on black pants and a black long-sleeved shirt instead of his usual suit.

"Good," I said. Then I dragged him over to the line for Montezuma's Revenge.

Anthony

At the end of the day as they walked out of the park, Anthony felt exhausted. He and Dylan had gone on almost every ride in the park, leaving out the water rides since it was cold. Even though the day had been tiring, Anthony was glad to see that Dylan was happier than she had been all day.

"Do you want me to drive home?" Dylan asked as Anthony stifled a yawn.

"Please," Anthony said.

As Dylan put the top of the car down, she said, "I had a great time, thanks for bringing me."

Anthony smiled and reached over, squeezing her hand quickly. Then he settled back on the seat as Dylan started the car and left the parking lot.

There was very little traffic on the freeways, so we got back to the house pretty quickly.

"I need to give Alex a call," I said to Anthony when we walked into the house.

He nodded and walked into the kitchen, getting something to drink.

I took out my cell phone and dialed Alex's number.

"Hello," she said when she picked up the phone.

"Hey Alex, it's me," I said, walking into the living room and sitting on the couch.

"Oh, hey. How was Knott's?" she asked.

"It was great. Anthony and I had a lot of fun," I answered.

"He went on the rides with you?' Alex asked, surprised.

"Yeah," I said. Then I changed the subject. "So what's our plan for tomorrow?"

"We'll need to get that Ice form Norris and test it to see if it's the same as the Ice we found at the Getty," Alex answered.

"Anthony and I can do that when we finish meeting with Charlie," I said.

"Dylan..." Alex began hesitantly. "Do you think that you'll be okay if you go there and see your dad?"

I sighed and was quiet for a moment, thinking. "I'm going to have to forget about him," I said. "He hurt my mom and me, so he doesn't deserve to know who I am."

"Okay, if you're sure about that Dylan," Alex said.

"I definitely am," I answered.

"Ok, I'll see you guys tomorrow at the office," Alex said.

"Bye Alex," I said. I hung up the phone and got up off the couch. When I turned to the doorway, I was surprised to see Anthony standing in the doorway. "Feel like going out to get a bite to eat?" I asked him.

He shook his head and walked over to me. When he reached me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close, kissing me deeply. He started walking back and pushing me towards the couch.

When the back of my legs hit the couch, I lowered myself onto it, pulling Anthony down with me.

Anthony moved from lips and then down my chin to my neck.

I moaned suddenly when I felt him start to suck on the skin where my neck and shoulder met. "Anthony," I whispered after a while. "Let's go up to the bed, now."

Nodding, he got up and then helped me stand up. He wrapped an arm around my waist, holding me close. Together we then walked up the stairs and into our room, closing the door behind us.
