She is a total lifesaver and really helped me with the changes and getting the story going!!
Skylar sat patiently waiting for him to show up. It wasn't the first time he had been late. It also wasn't the first time that he might be blowing her off. That was the problem with dating Spencer's resident playboy. You never knew where you stood with him.
Skylar shifted in her seat and glanced at the door. She checked her watch for the time and sighed loudly. Ten more minutes and she was leaving. She was also going to dump his ass if he didn't show up.
"Can I get you anything else," the waitress asked patiently.
"No, just the check," Skylar replied glancing at the door again.
The waitress nodded and headed off to get the check. Skylar's phone vibrated loudly against the table. She scooped it up and flipped it open. She shook her head as she read the text.
Sry babe. I 4got, make it up 2 u 2night?
Skylar resisted the urge to throw her phone and sighed again.
Don't bother, we're through.
Even in text messages, Skylar was impossibly formal. People never understood how she had ended up with Reid. Well, the people that knew. Not even his best friends, the sons of Ipswich, knew about them.
Reid and Skylar had been sneaking around for about six months. They had been an official couple unofficially. As in, they never went public. Skylar knew why she didn't want to go public. She didn't want to deal with the rumors that would be flying around. Rumors about how she had managed to bag the hardest to keep son.
Skylar accepted the check from the waitress and threw a couple of bills down on the table. It had been easy keeping their relationship a secret since they didn't go to the same school. Skylar had gone to Ipswich High School, the public high school.
Unfortunately, her father had come into his inheritance and wished to flaunt his money so he was sending her to Spencer. Reid didn't know about it yet, she had been planning to tell him today.
So much for that plan, Skylar thought angrily. She made her way out to her shiny, black Sky roadster and jumped in. Before she could crank it, her phone vibrated again.
What do u mean?
Skylar smirked and wanted to laugh so badly. Reid may be good in bed but he was dense when it came to actual relationships. You don't stand your girlfriend up more than six times before she gets tired of it.
Skylar typed her reply quickly and cranked the car.
It's over Reid. I'm not doing this anymore.
Pulling out of the diner parking lot, Skylar didn't blink when she blew past the hummer headed toward the diner. She knew that Reid was inside trying to catch up with her. He wanted to talk about it.
To bad, Skylar thought as she pushed down hard on the gas. She blasted down the road to her dad's new house. It wasn't until she heard the blaring horn behind her that Skylar slowed down.
Skylar hit her hand on the steering wheel when she saw Reid in the rearview. She pulled over and climbed out of the car quickly. "What don't you get Reid? It's over," Skylar shouted.
"We both know that's not what you want Sky," Reid replied as he jumped out of the hummer.
"Don't," Skylar snapped as she stepped away from Reid. "I've had it. You constantly stand me up! You're always late! I know you are cheating on me, so what is the point in us staying together?"
"I'm not cheating on you!" Reid cried. "What makes you think that?"
"Hmm maybe the pictures that slut Kate posted on her myspace of the two of you? You looked pretty cozy. Isn't she Pogue's girlfriend?" Skylar demanded. "That's really classy of you Reid. You're best friend's girl."
Reid sighed loudly and ran his hand through his hair. "I'm sorry," he said lamely.
"That's nice but it doesn't quite make up for everything you've done," Skylar replied coldly. "I'll see you around Reid, but we are over. It's not happening again."
Reid shook his head angrily and stared blankly at her. "You have no idea how much you mean to me," he said.
"Maybe you should have thought about that when you were letting that slut take pictures of the two of you together," Skylar shot back angrily.
Reid glanced up and down the road carefully before looking at Skylar again. "One more time?" Reid asked mischievously.
"You're sick you know that?" Skylar replied before throwing open her car door. Reid slipped his arms around her waist before she could get in. His breath on the back of her neck made her weak in the knees. She still wanted him despite everything he had done. It was what their relationship had always been about, the physical stuff.
"Reid," Skylar warned. "Stop it."
"Tell me you don't want me and I will," Reid replied. Skylar knew he was smirking even though she couldn't see his face. "Say it, tell me you don't want me."
Skylar didn't reply but glanced up and down the road. Reid's lip traveled up her neck as he turned her head toward him. His lips met hers and for a moment, Skylar forgot about what a shitty boyfriend he was. She forgot about the number of times he had stood her up.
Reid twisted her around so that he was pinning her against the car. Skylar gasped as his lips traveled back down her neck. He sucked gently on her pulse point.
Suddenly Skylar remembered the pictures and the hickey that she had seen on Kate the next day. Skylar shoved Reid away from her and glared at him. "I don't want you," Skylar spat. "Stay the hell away from me."
Stunned, Reid stepped away from her and let her leave. He had really screwed up and he knew it. She wasn't going to forgive him this time and that hurt more than anything else did.
Not many changes to this chapter or the next one. There have been several made from chapter 3 on. I hope you enjoyed it! Review and let us know what you think please!!
