Let Love Reign

Friendship And More

I looked around to see what ride looked non extreme. "Let's go on the uh,Scrambler first." He grinned as he took my hand. "C'mon honey." He led me over to the ride. As we buckled into the ride Jeff teased me,"You just
think you're so slick? Picking this tame lil ride." It was fun but I know Jeff has a knack for being extreme and therefore wanted to ride the more extreme rides. I knew it was coming soon and also that I wouldn't be able to tell Jeff no or avoid riding the scarier rides. We enjoyed the ride. Next,he looked at me. "How bout you go on a coaster with me Feisty?" He grinned encouragingly cute. "Just a small one?" I knew it. The sweet way he was looking at me I couldn't say no to him. "Which one?" He looked around. "How about that one?" I shielded my eyes from the brightly shining sun blazing hot rays down upon us. I followed where he was pointing. The Mystery Mine coaster. I swallowed nervously. He grinned and took my hand. "C'mon baby. It shouldn't be too bad". We boarded the ride and I gripped his bicep as we took off. He was right and it was actually a decent ride. Next up,I led him to the Shooting Star. He looked surprised. He turned to me as we strapped into our seats. "What Jeff",I giggled. He looked in my eyes. "I'm surprised that lil Miss Scared of Heights brought me on this one",he teased me. As we rose up into the air,I reached over and held Jeff's hand in mine. "As long as I've got my Charismatic Enigma beside me I know that I'm safe". He reached over to caress my cheek with his free hand. "Aww baby. You should already know that I'll always be by your side. No matter what". We smiled at each other and enjoyed our ride. I blushed prettily remembering his sweet words from mere moments ago. I so desperately wanted to conquer my fear of heights with Jeff by my side. I surprised him again when I gently tugged on his hand,leading him towards Tennessee Tornado,yet another roller coaster. His eyebrows rose. "You sure Feisty?" I smiled encouragingly at him. "Yes. As long as you don't let go of me." His arm pulled me so close to his chest that I smelled his cologne and felt his steady heartbeat against me. His arm still caringly wrapped around my waist we walked over to the coaster together. Once we were strapped into our harnesses Jeff reached over to hold my hand. "Charisma,honey I'm right here. I promise I'll keep you safe." I felt so safe with Jeff.  As we suddenly shot down along the track I gripped Jeff's hand a little tighter. "It's all right honey. I'm right here." I was instantly comforted by Jeff. His voice soothed me. Once we got off the ride my legs buckled beneath me and if it wasn't for Jeff quickly catching me in his strong arms I would have fallen to the ground. "Charisma you're shaking honey." I managed a weak smile. "I'm fine Jeff." "You sure? "Yeah. Pick another ride and let's do this." He chuckled. "All right baby." We headed to the Thunderhead roller coaster next. Then we headed to Sky Rider. Next we went on the Waltzing Swinger. We visited the Tennessee Mountain Home. The Wild Eagle was next up on our ride list. We went on a few more rides. Then we played a few games. Jeff won me a huge stuffed horse and an enormously large grizzly bear. "Feisty are you hungry yet?" My empty stomach growled in response to his question. He laughed. ."I take that as a yes." "Yes. I'm starving." "Me too." Once again his arm curled around my waist. We looked around for a great spot to eat. We settled on a quaint little spot named Red's Drive In,a 50's inspired diner inside Dollywood. "Hi there y'all",a friendly young waitress said to us. "What can I get for y'all today?" Jeff and I looked at the cute little menu in front of us. "Well I think we may need just a minute more or so to order. However I'm gonna order a Coke to drink. What do you want to drink darlin'?" He was looking at me expectantly as he asked. "I'll order a Coke too." The waitress left to get our drinks. We looked over the menu,deciding on bacon cheeseburgers and crispy fries. When our waitress came back to the table with our drinks we gave her our food order. There weren't that many people in there so he was more relaxed. We ate and then held hands as we walked to the waterpark part of Dollywood. "Ready to get wet Feisty?" "Considering how hot it is yeah I am." We walked to the entrance,found a locker to store our stuff and Jeff looked at me as he removed his tank top. It was a look I'd never seen in his eyes before. I removed my tank top and handed it to him to store with his. He looked at me questioningly. "What?" "Honey,you gonna take your tiny barely there booty shorts off and store them too?" I hesitated. "You're not fat baby. You're just a little thing." He had convinced me to leave the shorts too.We secured our stuff with the lock we rented from the Dollywood staff. I felt so self conscious with all the men staring at me. Jeff reassuringly put his arm around my waist. "C'mon Feisty. I got you love." We started with Big Bear Plunge. Jeff grabbed a two person intertube on our climb up the stairs. He chose to sit in the back of the tube.Which left me sitting in front between his legs! The slide operator gave us instructions for the slide. She also put my arms over Jeff's legs before giving us a push down the slide. I squeaked as we rushed down. Jeff smiled. I felt his hands on my shoulders.  It was comforting and relaxing at the same time. We went on the lazy river. We went in the wave pool. I had a slight wardrobe malfunction when the wave was so strong it literally untied the knot in my bikini top! Jeff surfaced saw it and swam quickly to me seconds before I would have been embarrassingly rendered topless and fixed it for me. He stood so close that we were chest to breast as he took the strings and retied them in a knot for me. "Thanks Jeff." "My pleasure love." The way he said it sent delicious shivers up and down my spine.
