A/N: Hello! So those of you who liked the last story... I didn't. Sorry. So it has been deleted, and now being replaced by Revelry. I'm going to clear any misconceptions here up in the beginning.
Rei and Jed are married and approx. 26 and 29. So Mid/Late 20's. Andrew is approx. 33, so he is the big brother. The Collins family has always been big stuff in the arts, hence CAA or Collins Arts Academy, which is owned and run by Andrew. Rei is the ballroom dancing instructor at CAA. Jed is a psych doctor. If there are any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Have fun. Let me know what you think. :) -Mikel08
Rei Collins sat in her office reviewing her schedule for the next few days. She had classes for the most part the next day, and an assembly the next. Her Ballroom students had to perform at the assembly and they had rehearsal at 6 that morning.
At the Collins' residence Jed was looking through patient files and making his schedule for the next month. His schedule began to fill quickly and he realized he would barely be home at all... He had been asked to do a few lectures and scheduled many seminars this month, on top his the normal buzz at the office. He had gotten a few new patients that he had to do background work on asap as well...
Around 9:30 Andrew walked into Rei's office and stood in the doorway.
"Rei."
"Yes Andrew?" She asked, not even looking away from her work.
"Go home."
"I will when I'm done."
"Now, Rei. Go home and have sex with your husband or something. I'm tired of his bitching lately." He taunted.
"You're urging me to go have sex with your brother?"
"If it puts both of you in a better mood then yeah." He laughed. Both of them had been almost intolerable lately.
"I haven't been in a bad mood!" She defended herself. Okay, maybe she had.
"You've had 5 rehearsals in the last two weeks on top of intense classes. And Jed has just been quiet. Something has to be wrong. So go home and fix it." Andrew had picked up on their fighting. Rei had been staying at CAA until 10 or 11 almost every night for the past month and Jed had been booking more lectures and seminars. On top of that at the CAA staff banquet, they talked just enough to seem fine and the air around them was tense. Most people thought work was just really busy for the two and thought nothing of it but Andrew knew they were both scheduling things to be away from each other.
"Nothings wrong." Rei snapped coldly before looking back down to her work. "I'll leave when I'm done with my work."
Andrew took that as his cue to leave. "Goodnight Rei." Rei might have been a good friend of his, as well as his sister-in-law, but he knew better than to make her too angry.
Rei sighed when her door shut. Yes her and Jed were having problems but they just needed to stay away from each other for a while. Talking about it didn't work because every time they tried, they fought. And to her it seemed like Andrew had only picked up on the last two weeks, which was good. He didn't need to know it had really been going on for 3 months.
Jed heard her come in around 11 or so.
"Finally." He commented to himself.
She walked into their lovely bedroom looking exhausted. Their whole house was stunning. It was custom built for the couple for their first anniversary present to one another. Their bedroom was a very inviting design. The walls were a charcoal color with white trim. The bed was covered in white sheets and comforters and pillows with blue designs on the sheets. The furniture was red mahogany that almost looked black. The bathroom was yellow with navy towels and accents. The lamp shades were dark red on both sides of the bed. There was a picture of their wedding day on the dresser and many other pictures scattered over the house. Over their bed, there was a black shelf with a white, wooden cutout on it spelling Love in cursive.
Jed had papers and files spread on some of the floor and his half of their King sized bed.
"Sorry I'm home so late." She felt it was awkward not to say anything... wait, Rei feeling awkward around Jed? When did that happen?!
She brushed off the thought and headed to the bathroom.
"Andrew called and told me he couldn't get you to leave." Jed scribbled something in his planner.
"Yeah my Ballroom team has a performance Friday night."
Jed wasn't really interested in her ballroom class. He was consumed in his newest patients' mental history file. He had records of multiple personalities, time lapses, and...
"And then Marie, our front spot 1 dancer twisted her ankle and... Jed?" Rei walked back into the bedroom after changing into a tank top and boyshort underwear.
Jed was making notes frantically on his new patient and looking things up in his old textbook. Completely engulfed in everything except Rei.
She glared at him. "So me and Andrew decided to take a break and go fuck each other in the teacher workroom when Mrs. Princely walked in on us and we all decided to have a three-some." She rolled her eyes when he said 'that's nice dear' and she stormed out of the room.
Slam! That caught Jed's attention. The file came flying out of his hands and scattered everywhere.
