I Love It

Chapter Six

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair,
I throwed out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear.
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear,

I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year.
I'm gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep,
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in too deep.

I Like It, I Love It - Tim McGraw

Already at six hmm. Here's the date. I hope you all like it :)

Emily was confused by her daughter's actions. From the first steps into the room, she had a smile on her face. Not just any smile either. This smile light up her daughter's face. There was only one explanation for this, and Emily was going to get to the bottom of it.

Hannah knew her mother was thinking something was going on. She wasn't blind. But she couldn't help it! In less than 24 hours she and Reid would be going somewhere. The place she still couldn't figure out. The list was too long. He could be taking her to breakfast, but that couldn't be all could it? Breakfast would be a great way to break the ice though. Was there any ice to break though? They knew a lot about one another already.

"Hannah, let your mother know what is going through your mind," Emily caught her daughter's gaze as she folded the laundry. Curse the cancer for making her bedridden! "You've had that smile on your face the moment you walked in."

"I'm not allowed to smile, Mum?" Hannah asked. "Is it against the law to smile?"

"No," Emily answered. "Tell me what is making you so happy, dear."

"I have a date tomorrow," she answered. "With Reid."

"Hannah," Emily warned. "Are you sure about this? I know he's a good friend of yours, but dating? You remember what happened last time."

"Reid is nothing like Conner," Hannah interrupted. "He might have a rep, but he's not like that at all. He's a good guy."

"Where is he taking you?"

"I have no idea," she answered. "Don't look at me like that. Reid won't tell me because he wants it to be a surprise. All I know is that I'm meeting him at eight in the morning, and I have to wear something that will be comfortable because we are going to walk a while. Any ideas?"

"Six Flags," she said. "I bet he's taking you there."

"No," Emily laughed slightly at her daughter's reaction. "Really?"

"Have you told him you've never been on a roller coaster before? That might be a problem at an amusement park."

"Oh my God," Hannah fell onto the bed.

Reid was busy shuffling his feet, attempting to ease his nerves waiting for Hannah to meet him at his car. God, he was so nervous! Was taking her to Six Flags: New England too much? What if she was scared of heights? What if she hated roller coasters? What if this date was a complete flop?

"Good morning, Reid," the blond jumped a little, making the dark-haired girl giggle. She was so cute when she did that! Did she even know what she did to him? Doubt it. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Is this all right? I still wasn't sure about what to wear."

"I'm fine," he looked her over. She was a vision to him, as usual. Nice tight jeans hugging her nicely and a leather jacket over a light blue top. Maybe this date was going to be all right after all. "You look perfect. Shall we?" He opened the door for her.

"We shall," Hannah blushed, getting into the seat. "You clean up good, Reid."

"I try," he smirked, sliding into the driver's seat and revved up the engine. "Let this date begin."

"You're still not going to tell me where we're going are you?" Hannah asked, glancing at the blond.

"Nope."

Not knowing where Reid was taking her was driving Hannah crazy. She hoped, deep down, that her mother's idea of Reid taking her to Six Flags was right. Sure, she might not have been on a roller coaster before, but she wasn't against the idea. Hannah was thrilled to have him as her first riding companion. Hannah's thoughts were confirmed when Reid took the exit towards RT-57/Agawam/Southwick, and the obvious came when he pulled into the parking lot on the second left right after the Six Flags: New England sign.

Hannah grabbed at Reid's hand and squeezed hard. This was the best place she had ever been on for a date. Reid grinned at her as they got out of the car, and together they headed towards the front gates. A line was already forming.

"Surprise!" Reid swung his arms out wide, indicating that this was the secret place. "I hope you like amusement parks."

"Actually," Hannah began. "I've never been to one before. I've never been on a roller coaster either," She wanted to let out a laugh as Reid's eyes widened. "But that doesn't mean I won't go on one. You'll be my first riding companion, so don't give me crap if I throw up afterwards."

"You're a dancer, I think an amusement park ride will be no problem for you," he smiled, offering her his hand. "You ready?"

"Let's," Hannah grasped his hand and followed him up to the front gate where their tickets were taken.

Hannah was beyond excited. She was at Six Flags! A place that she had wanted to go to since she was a little girl, but after her mom got sick there was never any time or money available for her to go on the trip. But she was here now on a beautiful day with a beautiful guy. Did her conscious just call him that? Really? Reid did look nice though. Dark blue jeans, a white shirt that clung to his chest well with an orange hoodie, a black jacket to finish it off.

There was so much to do, and neither of them had any idea where to start. They started their day at the South End. Agreeing that it would be best to start there and work their way back to the Main Street Plaza. Reid didn't want to pull her onto anything like the Dark Knight right away, so he let her pick first. To his surprise, that was the ride she picked.

"Are you sure you want to go on that first?" he asked. "What if you get sick or something?"

"You said I would be fine, Reid. Besides there isn't that long of a line yet. It will only get longer. I trust you," Reid's heart thumped loudly in his chest. No one ever said that to him before. "Front seat's the best right?"

"Yeah," he answered. "You sure about this?"

"I have to go on a roller coaster sometime right? Why not now?" Hannah smiled, grabbing his hand and pulled him towards the entrance. "Let's go, Garwin."

Hannah didn't want to say anything to Reid, but she was freaking out. With each step closer to the loading dock, she could swear that her heart was going to explode. By the time they were sitting in their seats, she was close enough to be hyperventilating. Why did she want to do this again?

"Hey," Reid's voice broke through her mini freak-attack. "You're going to be all right. I promise."

"You sure?" she asked, eyes wide with fear. "Why did I let you talk me into this?"

"Me? You were the one who was leading me," the coaster pulled forward and Hannah found Reid's hand and squeezed it for dear life. "You have to keep your eyes open if you're in front, Hannah."

"I'm going to die!" Reid laughed as the ride started up the hill.

Roller coasters weren't as bad as Hannah thought as soon as the train pulled back into the loading dock. She was even a little upset when it was over actually. Reid couldn't take the smile off his face when she raved about how amazing the ride was and why she had never done anything like this before. The duo had to do all of the coasters now. Which they did. Following the Dark Knight, Reid dragged Hannah onto Mind Eraser, Catwoman's Whip, Bizarro, and well you get the idea. Time was flying by and after the delicious "dinner" at JB's Smokehouse BBQ the sun was setting lower and lower into the background. They were working their way towards the front of the park, arm in arm, when Reid caught the brunette eyeing up a fluffy, white teddy bear that sported a purple bow tie by the arcade games.

"Fancy a throw?" the man from the booth asked him. "All ya gotta do is knock all of the bottles off the stand and you win."

"Sure, how much?" Reid pulled out his wallet.

"Three tries for two bucks."

"Reid, you don't-"

"No faith in my throwing skills do ya, babe?" the blond smirked. "I'll have a go."

"Reid, no one ever wins these games. How-how did you do that? On your first try?" she asked amazed.

"One of my many talents," Reid answered, pointing to the teddy bear. "For you."

"You are too sweet," Hannah rose to her toes and pressed her lips to his cheek. "Thank you."

"No problem," he stumbled with his voice, catching up to her.

The ride back to the dorms was silent but comfortable. Neither of them could have pictured a better day. The moon was high and full when Reid pulled into the student parking lot. The stars dancing up above them. Together they entered the building that held Hannah's dorm, and before they realized they were standing before her door.

"Well, this is me. Thank you for today, Reid. I had a really good time," Hannah smiled.

"Good, I'm glad," he grinned. "Eight AM tomorrow?"

"Sadly," she groaned, fidgeting with her keys. Looking up through her lashes, she watched Reid as he placed one hand on her upper arm while the other cupped her cheek. His lips slowly captured hers, and the moment they did, her legs turned to jello. A moment or two passed be before he pulled away, leaving goofy-looking grins on their faces. "Good night, Reid."

"Good night, Hannah."

SammieLuvsFood - Was this quick enough for you?

AvadaKedavraDarkPryncess - Thank you. That means a lot to me. I've read too many stories that are during the movie. I wanted to change it up a little bit. I hope you liked this one as well.
