"Seriously, Shawn, where the hell are we going?" I asked, not recognizing which part of LA county we were in... or if we were even still in LA.

"You'll see when we get there" Shawn smiled. I read a sign that Shawn drove past. San Fernando Valley.

"Baby, there's nothing up here. It's a desert in this area" I deadpanned.

Shawn laughed, "Be patient"

Shawn reached out his hand and held mine over the center console, "We'll be there soon"

"Honestly how are you doing this without directions" I asked.

Shawn smiled, "I memorized the route so that it would still be a surprise for you"

"Simp" I teased.

"Only for you" Shawn winked. Fifteen minutes later, Shawn got off the freeway and we turned left into a line of cars. I peeked out the window, seeing the tall sign that read Six Flags Magic Mountain.

"Oh my god this is why you said bring sunscreen" I gaped.

"Bless told me you love coasters," Shawn nodded.

I squealed, "I haven't been here in so long!"

We drove through and Shawn (much to my dismay) paid for parking and apparently my ticket, ahead of time.

"This is so unfair. I'm paying for food then" I pouted.

Shawn laughed as we got out of the car, "You can try"

"And I will succeed" I nodded, swinging my crossbody over my shoulder.

Shawn walked up to me and kissed my nose, "You're cute when you try to act tough"

I rolled my eyes playfully, "I'm always cute"

Shawn laughed, "I know"

"Okay, no phones today. No social media, no tabloids, nothing. Just you and me and a shit ton of intense roller coasters" Shawn interlaced our fingers.

I looked down at our hands, "In public?"

Shawn groaned, "Damn, I forgot"
