Night at Nicky's.
Chapter 2. Fulfilling the Terms.
Reid must now satisfy the terms of the wager he lost. This week will prove interesting..
*************************************************************
I woke up the next morning in a daze. Sitting up I brush the hair out of my face and look around. Anna's bed is still made so she didn't come home. A soft snore brings my attention to my bed mate. His blonde hair is in disarray hiding his face, but the hair tells me it's Reid. Then I remember it all, going to Nicky's, playing pool and of course the bet. I won so Reid would now spend the next week pretending to be my boyfriend. And I now had a date for the Fall Feast, which reminds me I have to go pick my dress up after school. The only thing still unclear to my sleep fogged brain is why he's here as opposed to his own room. The answer becomes apparent when Anna bursts in the door followed by Tyler and another taller brunette boy.
"Wake up sleepy heads." she sings in a chipper tone. The tone that tells me she got laid last night.
"Go to hell bitch." is my reply, a sweet smile on my face. She flips me off and I notice again the tall brown eyed boy who has yet to speak. Walking up to Anna I smack her soundly in the back of the head as she digs in her closet.
"Ouch, what the fuck, Cherry, just cause you didn't get any doesn't mean you can smack me." She glares at me.
"Where are your manners?" I ask her. She looks lost. I shake my head and roll my eyes in the silent boys' direction. I watch amused as enlightenment dawns.
"Oh, sorry Cher, this is Caleb. He's a friend of Reid and Tyler's." She says finally introducing him.
"Hi, Caleb. I'm Cherish as I'm sure you've probably been made aware, you have to forgive the bitch here, her mother dropped her." I smile as I walk over to him with an extended hand. His hand is warm and grip strong as he returns my handshake. Damn. I knew the 'Sons' were hot but good grief.
"Caleb Danvers. I heard you beat Reid in pool last night. That deserves congrats." I can here the awe in his voice. I smile and blush just a little.
"So you heard huh? Exactly how much did miss mouth tell you?" I'm nervous now just a little.
"Nothing bad, just that you beat him and now he has to act like your boyfriend for the week."
"I am awake now, and I'll thank you to quit hitting on my girl." Reid's now sitting up, and glaring at the older boy. Caleb puts his hands up in a gesture of surrender.
"Here's you uniform. Get moving or we are going to be late." Tyler says now, throwing clothes at Reid. He just grumbles as he gets up still wearing his jeans from last night. Freshly dressed, we now wait for Reid, who takes longer in the bathroom then a girl. Anna and Tyler are to busy making out to notice but I catch Caleb's eye and roll mine. He laughs, but I can tell it doesn't reach his eyes. Rumors had made the rounds about Caleb's involvement in Chase Collins mysterious disappearance just a few weeks ago. I make a mental note to ask him later cause I can tell he looks really stressed. But if I recall correctly, Sarah Wenham, the girl he'd been seeing went back to Boston. So that too could contribute to the hollow look in his chocolate eyes. I for the first time in a long time feel refreshed. I actually am awake with energy despite the ungodly hour.
"Who's up for coffee?" I ask and Anna eyes me oddly. I grin at her and I can tell I am so going to get grilled once the boys are out of earshot.
"Sure, coffee sounds good." Reid answers as he emerges from the bathroom. He's the only one to say anything to that. Anna and Tyler have gone back to making out and Caleb looks lost.
"Okay, lovebirds, break it up." I warn before throwing a book at my room mates back.
"Ouch, bitch." she turns and picks up the book making to fling it back, but I duck behind Reid.
"Bitch." she mutters again. Opening the door and dragging the blue eyed brunette out with her.
"Love you too, oh wonderful sister of mine." is my snaky reply once we catch up to them at the elevator. Anna just rolls her eyes.
"Sister, she's your sister?" Caleb asks. The first time today he's spoken without being prodded.
"And the angels rejoice, he can speak." I tease and the eldest boy manages a genuine smile.
"She's my step sister. My father married her mother when we were three." Anna put in as we sit down with our coffees.
"So who's Jenna?" Reid asks. I should have known he'd remember.
"My four minute younger twin." Anna answers, ice creeping into her tone. I can see the light bulb click over the blonde boys head. He however says no more and fixes his drink with his undivided attention.
