DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Covenant nor any of the characters that are property of it. I only own my character Brooke Lennon.
A/N: Yay! New Covenant fanfiction! My other one was going so well and I was having tons of fun writing it. So, why not make another? I kinda went crazy with this... I let the characters free and how am I supposed to reign them in? I'm just a lowly author. So... enjoy the character take over.
PROLOGUE
"This song reminds me of you." His voice was so close. I felt his breath on my shoulder. We had snuck out in the dead of night to sit on the pier, close to my house, with a radio. Cat and Mouse by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was playing softly. I turned my head and kissed his hair, he had buried his face in my shoulder. We sat that way for awhile, me sitting on his lap, his arms wrapped around me.
We never told a soul about us. Sixteen and in love. Sixteen and wanting to get married. Sixteen and planning to elope.
People would frown if they knew. Our friends... oh, our friends. Kate, Pogue, Caleb, and Tyler. Kate would be ecstatic. She had always wanted us to end up together. I honestly believed it was just so she could force us to double with her and Pogue. I grimaced in the moonlight. Not happening. Pogue, my older brother figure and trouble making friend would smile and wave as we drove off. He was so laid back. Caleb would disapprove. He'd tell us we were throwing away our promising futures. Secretly, he'd congratulate us, though. He was my responsible older brother (figure, of course). And then there's Tyler. My confident. My shoulder to cry on. My security blanket. Talking to Tyler was like turning on the light when you've been left crying in a dark room. He was warm, sweet, and my best friend. He would hug us and tell me good luck. He loved to see me smile...
Reid sighed behind me. "Reading my mind again?" I played with his hair. He nodded and smiled apologetically. He got worried when I was silent for long periods of time. So he used his powers (yes I knew about them), and listened to my thoughts.
"Forgive me?" He made a puppy dog face and I laughed.
"Nothing to forgive, Baby." He kissed me. "I love you. More than anything."
"I love you twice as much." He gave me his famous smirk and I rolled my eyes.
"You are SO competitive!" I threw my hands up and they came down with a loud -thwack- on my lap. He just laughed silently. I closed my eyes as his body shook underneath me. I loved his laugh. That was my favorite quality of his. His arms loosened. I tensed. What's going on?
"Wanna go for a swim?" He tugged at bottom of my shirt and slowly slid it past my belly button. I pulled it over my head with ease and stood up. We undressed- it's not like he's never seen me naked before- and he pushed me in the water. It was lukewarm.
"Reid!! What the hell!?" I nearly shouted as my head resurfaced. His smile gleamed and he jumped in beside me. I loved moments like this. If I could, I'd spend every minute of every day, just like this.
But all good things come to an end sometime...
