This popped into my head today during class and I just couldn't help myself. The next chapter with definitely be longer.
Thanks to everyone for their reviews.
Olivia looked around as Alex drove them through the city. They were headed South in Manhattan and Olivia could see the bay out her window.
"Can you just relax?" Alex smiled.
"If you'd tell me where we're going," Olivia replied.
"Liv," Alex looked at Olivia while parked at a stop light, "Trust me."
Olivia nodded, "Okay."
"You'd think that the whole saving your life thing would make you trust me," Alex smirked as the light turned green.
When Alex pulled to a stop, Olivia looked around, "Is this Coney Island?"
Alex looked at Olivia in disbelief, "You've never been here before?"
Olivia shook her head, "No."
"And you've lived here your whole life?" Alex turned off the car and pocketed her keys, "The second week after we moved here, I came every weekend until I'd done everything."
"I've never been to the Statue of Liberty either," Olivia added.
Alex smiled, "Good." She opened her door, "It'll give us something to do when we're both forced on vacation. The view is incredible."
As they walked through the gate of Astroland, Olivia asked, "So where to?"
Alex smiled and grabbed Olivia's hand, dragging her along, "First thing's first."
"I've never been on a roller coaster before," Olivia added as they stood in line for the Cyclone.
Alex looked at her again with disbelief, "Are you serious?"
Olivia shrugged, "This is the only roller coaster in the city. Unless you count taxis and the subway."
Alex chuckled, "I guess I was privileged with a thrill-seeking family. Before we moved here, we'd go to every theme park in the state in the summer. Each park had at least two roller coasters."
Finally it was their turn to get on. Olivia cautiously slid into the seat next to Alex, who pulled down the lap bar.
"That's it?" Olivia asked.
Alex smiled, "It's perfectly safe. I've ridden it a million times."
Olivia still looked unsure.
Alex offered Olivia her hand, "Hold my hand. I won't let you fall."
Olivia took Alex's hand and took a deep breath.
"Okay?" Alex asked.
Olivia smiled and nodded.
The train jerked forward and started up the first hill. As they went up, Alex looked around and admired the view. Olivia, on the other hand, was admiring a completely different view.
The bright afternoon sunlight, lit up Alex's face and made her blue eyes twinkle. Her hair shone brightly in the light.
Then Olivia looked around. Boy where they high. She lifted Alex's arm and slid her own under it, holding onto Alex's arm without letting go of her hand.
Alex looked at Olivia and smiled sweetly. She brought her free hand up to Olivia's face, stroking it lovingly. Then she kissed Olivia's forehead as they reached the peek.
Alex looked down the tracks and giggled. Olivia held on tight to Alex's arm as they tipped over the edge.
When they got off, they walked by the booth where there were screens showing the pictures taken on the ride. Alex looked around and spotted herself with Olivia tucked next to her. In the picture, Alex was obviously laughing and Olivia was ducking down a little, holding onto Alex's arm and grinning from ear to ear.
"I have to have that," Alex smiled and walked up to the counter with Olivia right behind her.
After stopping by Nathan's to grab a hotdog, they walked along the boardwalk together.
"Thanks Alex," Olivia shoved her hands in her pockets, "This really means a lot."
Alex looped her arm through Olivia's, "I glad I could put a smile on your face. And I have a picture to prove it."
Olivia smiled, "Don't you dare show that to the guys."
Alex raised an eyebrow, "What are you going to do about it?"
"You'll just have to see huh?" Olivia asked.
Alex was content to leave the conversation at that. She looked around and something caught her eye. She beamed and pulled Olivia off course.
They stood in front of a carnival game. The huge sign above said Water Gun Game.
"You want to know what it feels like to loose to me twice in one day?" Alex smirked and grabbed a water gun.
Olivia playfully scoffed, "In your dreams."
The man behind the counter smiled at the playful banter, "Alright ladies. Winner gets the pick of the prizes. Ready? Go!"
They both started shooting their steady stream of water at the target. A buzzer went off and they both looked up.
Olivia smirked, "Told you."
Alex pretended to pout.
Olivia looked at the man behind the counter and pointed to a giant purple gorilla. He handed it to her and Olivia used the gorilla's arm to poke Alex's ribs. Then Olivia offered it to Alex.
Alex smiled at Olivia and took the Gorilla under one arm. She kissed Olivia's cheek, "Thank you."
Olivia tried to hide her blush by looking around. "What's next?"
After spending the day walking around, riding rides, and eating carnival food, they both decided to call it a night.
Alex checked the backseat to make sure 'Oliver', as she affectionately named him, was still there. Then she looked at Olivia. Once she was sure they were both secured in, Alex drove Oliver and Olivia back home.
