In Paper Rings

The moon was high as FP and Alice were driving down the road outside Riverdale. They have been together for a while now after all the accidents with the Farm. They finally managed to make things right between them and Charles. One day after Alice came back from work FP decided that they should take a trip outside the town to relax and spend some quality time without the kids. Not that he didn't have any ulterior motives behind it...

"Can you already tell me where we're going, FP?" Alice's voice cut the silence between them. Not that she didn't enjoy this time alone with FP but it was middle of the night and they were in the middle of nowhere and she would feel slightly better knowing where all of this was heading.

"I told you it's a surprise. Be patient." she rolled her eyes at him.

"You really don't have to do this. You know I would perfectly enjoy just staying with you in bed and cuddling. As long as we would be together."

"Trust me. You're gonna like this more." he looked at her and grinned. She narrowed her eyes at him suspisously.

"Okaay" she shrugged and looked at the road ahead of her. "As you say". He held his gaze on her for a bit longer while smiling and turned his head towards the road.

"This reminds me so much of when we were younger, remember?" Alice started again after a long silence. FP frowned and looked at her. "You know back when we were teenagers. We would ride by the Sweetwater River on your motorcycle. Sit there, watching the shore for hours." her voice became dreamy.

"Are you sure this was us? Cause from what I remeber we were doing much stuff but simply sitting there and watching the shore wasn't one of them." he smirked but his comment was met with Alice's eye roll.

"I remember one night it was two month after we met for the first time in Whyte Wyrm. You took me to the Sweetwater River. It was our first date." she smiled under her breath.

"Yeah, I remember. It took me much effort and time to win you over. Everytime I would try and talk to you, you would blow me off. I'm surprised you didn't fall for me at first sight." he said cockily.

"Oh trust me, baby. I did. You have no idea" she answered mysteriously. He frowned at the comment and turned his head towards her.

"What do you mean? So you were avoiding me for two months straight on purpose?" he pretended to be offended.

"Oh come on. I wanted to see how much you really liked me. I couldn't just fall in your arms right there and then. It wouldn't be me. I will never forget the feeling I got when I first saw you, though. You were there with your friends and god, I don't think I've ever seen someone so high. Good thing you weren't. And it was like something struck me. Instantly. I knew that eventually, you would be mine. It was just a matter of time..and a little research" she smirked devilishly at him.

"You little minx. I can't believe you" FP chuckled and shook his head. "So you planned it all? What does research mean anyway, huh?" he looked at her. "Should I be concerned? Maybe I should've hidden all my belongings in case you'd wanted to sneak in. All my books from my nighstand." he chuckled.

"No, don't worry." she smiled lightly and went silent for a moment. "Though the books you read in that time were really crappy." FP looked at her perplexed. "What? Don't forget I was born on the Southside too." she grinned at him. He only sighted and shooking his head kept driving. "Hey they were not crappy. I really liked them." he said pretending to be ofended.

"Yeah well. That explains a lot." she teased. There's a brief silence cut by Alice's voice "I like this truck by the way"

"Really is this what just came to your mind?"
