CHAPTER SIX

~ MONDAY ~

Pogue looked between Kate and Ally (still on the floor) awkwardly as if expecting one of them to explode.

"Hey Kate. Nice to see you again." Ally smiled - well, it looked like more of a grimace.

"Yeah, fancy running into you Ally- wait, sorry, Allison." Kate said, snidely.

Ally glanced at the floor guiltily before pulling herself up off the floor and brushing the pretend dust off of her skirt.

"It was nice seeing you, Pogue, but I best leave you to it. See you tomorrow, Kate." Ally smiled before shuffling towards the door.

"You'll come and visit me again tomorrow, right? We have a lot to catch up on." Pogue said, a hopeful look on his face.

Refusing to look at Kate, Ally smiled and nodded yes before rushing out the room, letting the door close loudly behind her.

"How'd it go with Pogue?" Reid asked as he lay on the couch, his head in Ally's lap.

"It wasn't too bad. Obviously, he was angry at me but we sorted it out and he made me promise to go see him again tomorrow." Ally smiled, playing with the blond boy's hair.

"He wasn't too harsh, was he Princess? Do I need to kick his ass?" Reid said, protectively.

"He was fine. No, he wasn't too harsh although he probably should have been. However, the visit got cut short because Kate walked in." Ally pulled a face after saying the name of Pogue's girlfriend.

"Yikes. She's a nasty sl-"

"Reid!" Ally giggled.

"Sorry, Princess. I just don't know why Pogue is still with her. Also, nice work with the 'my name is Allison' thing. You had Tyler and I in tears." Reid chuckled at the memory.

"I felt a little bad about that but she just didn't make a good first impression. Then I found out she was that Kate. I agree with you though, Pogue should have dumped her after she cheated on him the first time." Ally sighed. "I remember him messaging me, heartbroken."

Ally's phone made a noise and she picked it up to see that she had a message from Pogue.

POGO: Sorry that you had to leave. Had no idea she was going to turn up. Heard about your meeting with her, nice touch with the Allison thing. See you tomorrow, Shorty. X

Smiling at her phone, she quickly texted back, completely forgetting Reid was there.

ALLY: It's okay, she is your girlfriend after all. Can't wait to see you x

"What are you smiling at?" Reid teased, causing Ally to blush. Her pale complexion meant she looked bright red when she blushed. Which was often.

"None of your business." Ally chuckled.

"Tell Pogo Stick that this your time with me and he needs to go away.

POGO: Doesn't mean you had to leave. I would've preferred for you to stay. X

ALLY: Pogue! You can't say that about your girlfriend. Also, Reid said that you need to go away because it's his time with me x

POGO: Reid can go blow himself. He's just jealous because he knows you're always mine. X

Ally let out a short laugh, trying to ignore the heat in her stomach when she read 'mine.'

"Stop flirting with Pogue and go back to playing with my hair." Reid demanded.

Ally was about to message Pogue to let him know she had to go when Reid snatched the phone out of her hand.

ALLY: Princess is currently busy with me. Go find someone else. She's off limits.

POGO: REID! Give Ally her phone back or I'll kill you.

Reid just chuckled at himself before chucking the phone on the table and forcing Ally to play with his hair again. Despite how hard Ally tried to focus on the film or Reid, she couldn't stop thinking about Pogue saying that she was always his. Ally had only been home for two and half days and she already knew she was in deep trouble with the tall, muscular biker. At least when she called him from California, she still pictured him as the sweet, scrawny thirteen year old boy. Now, she forgot what he even looked like then.
