Chapter 4: What's it Called? Sexual Tension?
Aubrey sat up straight in bed when a shrill ringing interrupted her sleep. She looked over at the other bed and saw Val sitting with her back against the head board one leg stretch completely straight and the other bent at the knee reading yet another of her car magazines. "How long was I out?" She asked with a yawn.
Val looked over at her briefly. "Well classes ended at two thirty, so I'd say about four hours." She said looking over at the clock.
Looking over at her nightstand Aubrey saw the screen on her phone was lit up, indicating that she'd just missed a call and that had been the ringing that had woken her in the first place. "Why didn't you answer it?" Aubrey said grabbing the phone.
"Well..." Val started guilty with a slight grin on her lips.
Aubrey frowned. "What did you do Val?"
Val giggled softly. "He called about four minutes ago and I might've answered the phone and told him I was having my wicked way with you and just hung up. I didn't think he'd want me to answer again." She said biting back her laughter.
"Val." Aubrey said trying not to laugh as she dialed Reid's, closed the screen and brought the phone to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey Reid." Aubrey smiled.
"Tell your roommate she's on 'the list'." Aubrey laughed and looked over at Val.
"Reid says your on his list." She informed her roommate.
Val looked over at her. "The good or bad one?"
"Good or bad Reid?" Aubrey asked jokingly.
"What do you think?" Reid said sardonically.
Aubrey grinned at Val. "The good one." She said. Val laughed and Aubrey heard Reid in the phone telling her it was the 'bad one' not the good one.
Val got up from her bed and walked towards Aubrey she leaned over so she was close to the phone. "Maybe next time I'll let you watch me make your girlfriend scream." She said huskily right next to the phone.
Aubrey looked at Val bug eyed. "Val!" She shrieked.
"Ok she's on the good list." Reid said matter-oh-factly.
"Reid!" Aubrey screeched. "God I'm surrounded by perverts." She muttered covering her tired eyes and blushing cheeks with her free hand.
Val laughed and stood up straight. "Well this pervert is going to the showers."
"Good go." Aubrey said dropping her hand and her head fell back against her headboard. Val went around to gather her things. "Reid you got quiet." Aubrey said lightly.
"Just picturing you and Val in the shower that's all." Reid said and she knew he was joking but he just sounded so casual like it was a normal everyday occurrence.
"Well stop." Aubrey said shaking her head. "Perverts." She muttered to herself.
"Sweets you know I'm a pervert." Reid teased.
Aubrey sighed. "Yes and I love you any." Val made a hand motion of twenty minutes to Aubrey and left the room with her shower stuff. Kat was long gone now that it was February and Aubrey had noticed that some of Val's spirit had seemed to go with Kat, but she was still trying to be cheerful though she missed her love. They definitely could relate. "I miss you." Aubrey said suddenly.
"Sweets what's wrong?" Reid asked worriedly. Aubrey could tell his emotions easily, he masked them from the rest of the worried but she could always hear them in his voice when he talk to her.
Aubrey sighed. "It's just...this is stupid but Valentines day is coming up and I don't know, that and Val's not been as up beat since Kat left and it just all sort of made me realize how much more I miss you."
"You remember our last Valentines day?" Reid asked jokingly.
Aubrey giggled softly. "I thought I was going to have a heart attack when the cop knocked on the window." She said softly.
Reid chuckled. "Too many horror movies Sweets." He teased.
"Hey! Don't make fun of me Reid Garwin." Aubrey laughed lightly.
"It got a smile on your face didn't it?" He asked smugly. "Don't even try denying it Sweets."
"Mockery will get you no where." Aubrey said playfully.
"Who's mockery? Should I know him?"
Aubrey giggled. "That was really lame."
"Yeah, I need to work on my comebacks. So how was school?" Reid asked.
Aubrey sighed. "Dreadful, horrendous, appalling, awful, take your pick."
"Ok I pick awful, I can at least spell that." Reid joked.
"Reid." She giggled. "Come on be serious, my day was so horrible I came back to my dorm and fell asleep, have you ever known me to do that."
"Well no, but they're are first times for everything."
Aubrey smiled. "You're trying to cheer me up aren't you."
"What was your first clue Sweets?"
"So how was your day?" She replied teasingly.
Reid laughed. "The opposite of yours I'm afraid. After school me and Ty went to that Tattoo Parlor close to Nicky's and I finally got that tattoo on my forearm that I've been wanting."
"Did you send me pictures?" Aubrey asked smiling.
"Ty took a few with my phone and sent them yes, but you were asleep and obviously haven't checked your text messaging." Reid said playfully.
"I'm so sorry." Aubrey said jokingly. "Forgive me my dear sweet boyfriend."
"You're forgiven."
Ipswich, MA
March 15th :
"Shit ya!" Reid hollered winning yet another game of pool at Nicky's.
"Every time Garwin." One of the local guys said. He had played Reid in the passed and was always a gracious loser, never assuming Reid to be scamming him. And Reid wasn't he really was just that good, he didn't even use anymore in tight spots, because of what Aubrey had taught him.
"Sorry Jimmy it's birthday luck tonight." Reid joked patting him on the shoulder as his other hand was held out waiting for Jimmy to slap a fifty in to it.
Jimmy pulled out his wallet from his back pocket and slapped it in to Reid's hand. "Next time man, I'm taped for tonight, the wife is going to kick my ass if I don't get home soon."
"Later man!" Reid said shoving him off towards the door.
"Play you for a hundred Garwin." Reid growled low in his throat hearing that voice, he hated that voice.
Turning around though he was smirking at the tall curly dirty blond, Aaron Abbot, in his letterman jacket, Kira permanently attached at his hip. "You really should have the hideous growth on your side looked at Abbot, might be infected with some nasty disease." Reid said arrogantly.
Kira scoffed. "Fuck you."
"Not even with a ten foot poll Snyder." Reid bit back.
"One fifty Garwin?" Aaron bargained.
Reid moved his attention back to Aaron and smirked. "Don't go back on the bet when you lose."
"Just rack em up Garwin." Aaron growled.
Reid smirked. "Whatever you say Abbot." He said snidely. He looked over at Tyler who was standing by the table so no one would try and take it and gesture for him to rack the billiards up. Tyler nodded and did so.
"I'll even let you break first birthday boy." Aaron said having retrieved a cue stick from the rack on the wall.
"Well thank you." Reid said sardonically. "How fucking courteous of you. And yet your funeral." Aaron just sneered at him while Reid plastered a confident smirk on his lips as he leaned down lining up his shot and taking it. He sunk a solid and grinned. "Closer to victory already Abbot."
"Just play." Aaron glared.
Reid bent down again lining up another shot. He called the side pocket and sunk the ball. Calling out the corner pocket next Reid sunk that as well after circling the table he decided to go for a combo shot. "Another fifty says I make this combo." Reid said looking at Aaron smugly.
Aaron smirked. "Your on, there's no way you can make that combo shot." Reid just waggled his eyebrows sarcastically and leaned down, looking at the angles before deciding where to hit the cue ball off the side to knock perfectly into the two solid billiards to send them each into a pocket perfectly.
The thump of the cue ball off the side and the clank of it coming in contact with the other two was like sweet victory to Reid as they sank perfectly into separate pockets. "Couldn't make it my ass!" Reid said triumphantly.
Reid purposefully missed his next shot to let Aaron try and even up the score, but he knew there was just no way that was ever going to happen, cause no matter how much Aaron boasted and tried he still sucked a pool. He didn't have the knack for the game like Reid.
As Aaron lined up a shot Reid felt a pat on his shoulder and looked over to see Pogue grinning at him and Caleb next to Pogue. "Happy birthday man!" Pogue said grinning at him.
Reid grinned back. "Not the big one, but oh so close." He said.
"Stopped by your dorm, for your phone like you asked." Caleb said reaching in front of Pogue to hand Reid his cell phone. Reid nodded his thanks and then walked back to the table and lined up. It only took mere moments for the game to end.
"Pay up." Reid said holding out his hand to Aaron.
"You fucking cheated, just like you always do." Aaron growled getting closer to Reid's face.
"Just cause your a fucking fairy who can't play pool don't hold it against me." Reid grunted back. "Pay the fuck up."
"No." Aaron glared.
Reid made to step to get right in his face when his cell phone buzzed in his pocket. "Consider yourself fucking lucky Abbot." He growled and threw the pool cue down on the table before pulling his phone from his pocket and starting towards the front door of Nicky's. "Hang on I need to get outside." Reid said covering his other ear with his available hand. Once he reached the front he stepped out into the cool spring night air of Ipswich and sighed in to the phone. "Hey Sweets." He said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Happy Birthday to my one and only bad-ass, how's your birthday going so far?" Aubrey said brightly in to the phone. Reid gave a non word grunt. "What's wrong?" Aubrey asked her brightness from before diminishing.
"The day was going great, no school, having a good time at Nicky's and then Abbot showed up and did what he always fucking does..." Reid starting ranting.
"Reid..."
"And I don't know why..."
"Reid!" Aubrey yelled from the other line. Reid paused. "Baby don't let that get you down. It's your birthday." A small smile twitched at the side of Reid's lips. "So how'd your day start out?" She asked cheerfully.
Reid succumbed to the urge and smiled. "Well my good day started while I was sleeping?" His smile slipped in to a frisky smirk.
"Oh how?" Aubrey asked obviously confused.
"I had a very naughty dream about you." Reid said picturing the instant blush on her cheeks. "You're blushing aren't you?"
"Shut up." Aubrey said baiting him.
"Yeah you blushed in the dream to the moment you lost your..." The door to Nicky's opened and Reid looked over seeing the other Sons coming out since he'd leaned back against the building. His right foot was flat against the wall bent at the knee and his free hand was now in his pocket. His black beanie and fingerless gloves were right in black. His wardrobe consisting of a black long sleeve shirt, a white one underneath only visible by the hem and baggy dirty faded denim jeans. His black converse on his feet as well.
"Reid you still there?" Aubrey asked after he'd gone silent.
"Yeah, the guys just came out of Nicky's. Hang on k?" Reid asked.
"Ok." Aubrey said. Reid pulled the phone away from his ear kicking away from the wall and walking towards his friends.
"Fellas." He said casually.
The three were very aware of who he was talking to, but didn't ask what they were talking about. "Tell Aubrey we said hi and we'll meet you out at the dells." Caleb said suggesting the idea looked at the other two who nodded, none of them having really made a plan at all.
"No car." Reid said.
Tyler groaned and pouted a little but pulled his keys from his pocket handing them to Reid. "I'll ride with Caleb."
Reid grinned. "Thanks baby boy and I promise one piece this time."
"Please, my mom was pissed when he had to replace that mirror." Tyler said.
"Yeah no problem, now my girls waiting could you go?" He said gesturing his head towards the parking lot. The guys shook their heads with stupid grins on their faces and walked away from Reid.
Reid made his way over to the hummer parked a ways away from the ducati and got in to the drivers seat shutting the door and bringing his phone back to his ear. "The guys said hi."
"Oh well ok." Aubrey said confused.
"I got you flustered didn't I?" Reid asked huskily
Aubrey scoffed. "No."
"Liar, you're curious what I was going to say." Reid said in a taunting alluring way.
"Fine, fine just tell me." Aubrey said as exasperated.
"Pushiness is not a very attractive quality." Reid jeered.
Aubrey groaned. "Don't use my words against me Reid Garwin."
"Bra. I was going to say bra, but two seconds later I woke up." Reid said disappointment in his words.
"Awe, you poor thing you. So what did the majority of the dream consist of anyway?" She asked curiously.
Reid smirked. "Lots and lots of making out and licking there was licking."
"We aren't dogs Reid what is wrong with your sick mind?" She jested.
He chuckled. "Trust me you'd want me to lick you this way, you'd love it. Probably beg for it maybe even moan my name..."
"Reid." Aubrey said.
"Sorry." He relented.
Aubrey sighed. "Don't be sorry. It's just with you there and me here..." She trailed off.
"Why Miss Higgins are you admitting to having naughty, hot, sex related dreams about me?" Reid asked with pride.
Aubrey giggled. "Maybe." She confessed.
Reid smirked thinking about what she could dream about him in such away. She didn't seem the type but then again there were lots of things about her that had surprised him in the passed. "Wow that actually, kind of really turns me on." Reid said appreciatively.
"Yeah very vivid dreams, sometimes day time hallucinations during class, but only cause I'm bored out of my skull." Aubrey teased.
Reid frowned. "You could've left the bored part out. It was more arousing when I thought you just wanted to think that way just cause you could."
She laughed lightly. He could stay disappointed at her he loved that laugh. "I was just kidding Reid, I think of you that way because I want to not cause I'm bored. Ask Val she's woken me up from one of the dreams before, said it sounded pretty erotic from the sounds I was making."
A giant grin plastered itself across Reid's face his eyes lighting with lust. "Oh really?"
"Oh Reid please don't get a big head about this." Reid looked down at the tight spot in his jeans and closed his eyes trying to will away that lust.
"Too late." He muttered sardonically knowing that she probably wouldn't catch on.
"You know being in an all girls school really makes you appreciate the male species." Aubrey joked. "Sometimes I feel like I took you for granted. I didn't kiss you enough, or spend enough time with you, or touch you enough." She explained softly.
"You can make up for it when you come back." Reid told her seriously. His head was rested back against the head rest eyes closed still trying to calm his 'needs'. "So the rest of my day was pretty good, Ty took me out for breakfast and then we headed in to Boston where I used my fake I.D. To get booze, and came back and we've been at Nicky's most the night just taken names and kicking ass at pool."
"My very own pool shark." Aubrey teased. "You know you totally owe me for being as good as you are."
"Most of my winnings go in to a jar, so I can buy you something really nice for your birthday." Reid told her.
Aubrey sighed. "I don't need really nice, you already over did it with the cell phone." She said.
Reid grinned. "That's what boyfriends do, they buy lots of expensive stuff for their girlfriends."
"But I don't need expensive. What I want I can't have." Aubrey said sullenly.
"Me too Sweets." Reid said understanding what she was saying completely. The only thing he really wanted for his birthday was to see her and that wasn't going to be possible. His parents would never let him leave the state with school in session and Aubrey wasn't going to be flying in to Ipswich any time soon if her father had any say in it.
"Of course it's Reid who else would it be." Reid heard Aubrey talking to Val. "Yeah it's his birthday."
"Happy birthday Reid!" Val said in to the phone.
Reid chuckled. "Thanks Val."
Aubrey giggled. "Well I feel like I should let you go so you can party with the guys and drink your illegal booze." She joked.
"I like talking with you though." Reid said.
"I know. But it's your birthday go celebrate, call me in the morning and I'll tell you a secret my mom told me about hangovers." She said enticingly.
"You should tell me now or I'll forget to call."
"No you'll remember." Aubrey said matter-oh-factly. "Especially if you want that hangover cure."
"Fine have it your way." Reid laughed. "I love you."
"Love you too, have fun ok?"
"Yeah I'll try."
"That's all I can ask for. Happy birthday babe."
"Thanks. Bye Sweets."
"Bye."
Brinley Academy
Same Night:
"So what did you send lover boy for his birthday?" Val asked as she came out of the bathroom shutting the light and climbed into her bed.
Aubrey looked over at her. "I found him this great jacket, I used the cash I pulled from the bank the other day to buy it so dad wont find out. It's perfect for him. It screamed Reid."
"Just like you did the other night." Val mocked her.
Aubrey threw her spare pillow at her roommate. "Shut up." She laughed. "I didn't know I spoke in my sleep I'm sorry, I'll try to..."
"What control your sexual desire for him?" Val said teasingly. "Sweetie that isn't going away."
Aubrey sighed. "I know." She whined. "I know." Her head thumped back against the headboard and she didn't even care that it had hurt a little. "And stop mocking me." Aubrey pouted.
Val laughed softly. "Aubs, unfortunately until you fuck him that desire isn't going to go away. And unfortunately that isn't going to be happening any time soon..."
"Not unless I do something so horrible that my dad will have to move me back to Ipswich." Aubrey muttered.
Val grinned. "How horrible are we talking here?"
"Like horrible beyond horrible, like can't attend any other private school in the country horrible." Val smirked as Aubrey looked over at her. "Why?"
Val grinned. "I read this magazine article about a girl who was basically black listed from every high school in the country for doing this stunt..."
"What kind of stunt? I don't want to kill anyone Val." Aubrey said skeptically.
Val continued to grin. "She set up smoke bombs and paint bombs at her high school junior prom and pulled the fire alarm, they had to remodel the entire school gym after that and no school wanted to take her they considered her dangerous."
"How?"
"Something about she'd done it for fun and they didn't know what she would do next when she got bored. Her parents had to pay for the remodel for the school not to sue."
Aubrey grinned. "I'm starting to like this idea. Where's she put the smoke bombs?"
"Under the tables, and the paint bombs right on top in with the flower décor in the middle." Val explained.
"That might just work." Aubrey said and Val could see the wheels moving in her head. "That really might work Val."
"Genius I know." Val said proudly. "What makes it better is we'd have to steel a few chemicals from the science department and you know how that is like immediate grounds for suspension, using them as a plot would just mean down right expulsion."
Aubrey grinned. "When is Prom?"
"According the Headmaster at Brine Academy, god how stupid do you have to be to know it's our sister all boys school, sorry, um in June."
"That's right as Spencer's letting out for summer. If I can get myself expelled and black listed from every where my father would have no choice but to take me back to Spencer." Aubrey said thoughtfully.
Val nodded. "Yeah." Her word seemed sullen.
Aubrey grinned. "Of course you could tell your parents that you think going to a school like Spencer would be better for you, there's hot yummy boys there."
"You think they'd buy it?" Val asked.
Aubrey grinned. "All you have to do is tell them an all girls school is just too tempting and you think Spencer would be a better choice, I mean come on you are the queen of acting."
"True."
Aubrey grinned. "I think, I'm going home soon." She said and lay down completely on her bed. "Reid will be so proud."
"I bet. A regular bad ass your becoming."
"I learn from the best." Aubrey replied snuggling down in to her covers. "Night Val, talk more in the morning."
"Yeah then we'll start hatching our master plan for expulsion." Val grinned laying down and rolling on her side facing away from Aubrey's bed. "Night."
AN: OK I know what you are all thinking 'it's so short' but today was a bit of a hectic day, well actually yesterday cause it's already 2:30 am and I have to be up and out of my house by 8:30 for work so I am going to leave it here. Anyway the reason it's short is cause yesterday was my sisters birthday and we had lots of errands to run this afternoon so I didn't have much time to work, and we went to dinner, when I got home I fell asleep from a stomach ache and when I woke up it was 9:30 so unfortunately that means a shorter chapter. But I did add some pictures to my page for the last chapter which I forgot to mention. And now you kind of see the black listing plot going on! Again really liking all the reviews, love hearing from readers who enjoy the story keep it up it's great incentive for me to keep posting regularly. Just saying. Anyways hope everyone has a great day, I probably wont be posting again till either early Tuesday morning around this time or Tuesday evening. Ok that's really all now, laters!
