When it Rains…
Chapter 1
The youngest son of Ipswich was bored, not to mention pissed off. Caleb and Pogue were out with their respective girlfriends while his dorm mate, Reid, was out on a date. Tyler, on the other hand, was stuck in his dorm with no company. It was not so much the fact that all the other boys were out with girls that bothered him, because he was more than able to pick a girl up if he wanted to.
No, that definitely was not where the problem lay. The root of his problem had more to do with a certain someone being out on a certain date. Sure, Reid been on many dates before, and Tyler always viewed them with mild amusement other than that occasional jealousy. The girls Reid went out with never seemed to last for more than one date, and Tyler thought he knew why.
However, this one girl seemed genuinely hooked to Reid. They were out on their third date now and Tyler knew that for Reid, this could almost be something serious. It was puzzling how the girl could stand being around Reid that much, seeing that he was not the gentleman that Caleb was with Sarah, or even the romantic that Pogue was with Kate when they each first started dating.
Reid was rough round the edges when it came to sweet talk. Hell, Tyler was sure he had yet to learn what the meaning of the word 'tact' was. Girls, in Reid's vocabulary, came synonymous with the word sex while the word relationship was practically non-existent.
Tyler sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He knew there was no use pining over someone who was never going to be his anyway. Getting up from his bed, Tyler decided that maybe he should be looking for some fun of his own in order to get his mind off Reid. Besides, he did not want to witness Reid coming back from his date in the wee hours of the morning, looking all flushed and excited. No, he was better off in some club, partying the night away.
The young witch entered the club which was packed to the brim with locals, who were mostly teens and adults in their early twenties. He had made sure to steer clear of Nicky's, as well as any other places where he might bump into anyone he knew. He had no intention of being friendly tonight, just to have a bit of fun so he could forget the heartache for a moment.
He had been given a brief stare of suspicion before being let into the club. The man probably thought he had used a fake ID. Tyler smirked to himself. 'If only he knew…' Hanging out with Reid had made him a little more reckless at Using than Caleb would have approved.
Shooting a look at the crowded dance floor, Tyler went to buy himself a drink first. He ordered a Coke, since he knew there was not going to be anyone to drive him home of he was too drunk to do it. Besides, he loved his car too much to sacrifice it for just a bit of alcohol.
Sitting down near the bar, Tyler sipped his drink while letting his eyes scan the many faces on the dance floor. He thought he could recognise a few who may be from Spenser but none of them looked as though they had noticed him. He smiled in satisfaction at that fact, preparing to enter the dance floor himself.
Putting his empty glass back on the bar, Tyler made his way towards the writhing mass of bodies, moving to the beat of the song currently being played. He quickly spotted a brunette about his age who appeared to be dancing alone. Making his way towards her, he noted that she was very pretty and briefly wondered if he was cutting into someone else's territory.
Tyler danced his way until he was standing in front of her, matching her moves with his own. She looked up briefly from her dancing and smiled at him. It was a pretty smile but he could not seem to detect anything past friendliness in it. Swallowing a sigh, Tyler returned her smile but continued dancing with her anyway, although he respectfully kept his distance.
He noted that while she was not showing any signs that she was interested in him, the brunette seemed to be a good dancer and it was entertaining enough trying to match her moves. After some time though, Tyler began to notice that there was someone else dancing very close to him. Turning around, he saw a tall, blonde guy smiling down at him.
Thinking that the guy was trying to dance with the brunette, Tyler moved to the side, allowing him plenty of space to get to the girl he was dancing with. However, the moment he moved to the side, the blonde guy followed and began matching his moves. The witch frowned in confusion as the blonde began closing the distance between their bodies.
Having to room to back into, Tyler flushed and looked up in shock when the blonde began grinding their hips together. The guy, however, looked unrepentant and smirked at him instead. The way the side of his lips curled up was so reminiscent of Reid that Tyler felt himself hardening almost immediately. Dancing so close to him, the blonde must have felt the change and feeling encouraged by it, he pressed his body closer to Tyler's.
Tyler groaned at the effect the blonde's proximity had on him and tried to back away again. However, the blonde had his hands fixed on his hips and was keeping them locked together. He thrust his hips forward again, this time bringing the dark-haired witch's hips forward in time with the thrust and Tyler could not stop the moan from escaping his lips.
Looking up, Tyler was struck again by the stranger's uncanny resemblance to Reid and he felt his cheeks flush at the thought of him dancing so intimately with Reid. The blonde flashed another satisfied smile when he saw Tyler's reaction and began backing him towards a nearby pillar.
Before he knew it, Tyler had his back pressed against the pillar on the dance floor, while the stranger was busy devouring his neck. The young witch felt the blonde's hands slip underneath his shirt and gasped at the tingle he felt when they caressed his flesh.
The son of Ipswich briefly wondered how it was that he found himself having sex in the middle of the dance floor with an absolute stranger but at the same moment, he felt a dizzying influx of pleasure as the stranger's fingers dipped past his jeans and finally surrendered to the dark cloud of lust that had been waiting to claim him for the past few hours.
Tyler stifled a groan as he blearily opened his blue eyes. He felt an immediate stab of pain against the back of his eyes and closed them, this time waiting for a few seconds before trying to open them again. Gazing confusedly around the unfamiliar room, Tyler tensed as memories of what happened the night before came flooding back into his mind.
Looking around the room, Tyler found that he was lying on top of a very unfamiliar bed, beside a very familiar person. Both their current states of undress were not helping matters much either. Tyler ran his hand through his hair and this time, could not restrain himself from letting out a groan once the full implications of what had happened finally sunk in.
'Oh Shit,' he thought. 'Shit! Shit! Shit!'
He panicked further when the blonde beside him started to shift in his sleep, muttering something unintelligible under his breath. Tyler sighed in relief though, when the sleeping man shifted further away from him, towards the other side of the bed.
Knowing that there might not be another chance for him to get away if he did not hurry, the witch silently crawled out of the bed and began to look for his clothes out of the messy lumps strewn carelessly around the room. Finding his things and getting dressed in record time, Tyler quickly left the small apartment, fervently hoping that he was not too far away from his dorm.
Once outside, Tyler scanned the area to determine exactly where he was at. He smiled in relief when he spotted his Hummer parked not too far away and ran towards it. Reaching his car, Tyler found that the keys were still stuck in the ignition, as though nobody had bothered to keep it after getting out of the car.
Although this meant that he was able to get out faster, he frowned at the thought that someone might have stolen his car in the middle of the night. However, that line of thought also led to the fact that he had a disturbing lack of memory regarding what really happened the night before. Heck, he did not even know who drove his Hummer back to this apartment, although he had a sneaking suspicion it was a certain blonde who did it.
Shaking his head at the mess he had managed to get himself into, Tyler quickly started the car and began driving back towards the dorm. In his hurry to get away from the place however, he failed to notice that the curtains to the very apartment he had just left were pushed to the side and that a certain blonde was smirking as he watched Tyler speed off.
More coming soon. Please review and tell me what you think.
