Hey, I would like to apologise for the time it has taken to get this chapter up but I have been so caught up in leaving home and moving to start University that I totally forgot about you guys so again, I'm sorry and have taken the hour between my two lectures to give you this. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

B's POV

We all stood in silence, smiling whilst trying to get our breath back. I thought about what just happened and my smile became a stupid grin. I just kissed Reid Garwin. I couldn't believe it, it had went from a simple day with friends to me standing outside the cinema holding hands with Reid after having a food fight, kissing Reid and almost getting chipped out for the mess we had made of the cinema. It had been a strange day. I looked at Reid to find him smiling at me and my grin grew wider still. The butterflies in my stomach had calmed slightly but I could feel what seemed like a buzzing of energy between me and Reid. Reid pulled me towards him, letting go of my hand and placing both of his on my hips, and looked right into my eyes.

The energy seemed to grow even stronger. "Sorry," he whispered, then placed a delicate peck on my lips. This time I pulled away because I knew I was having hard time controlling myself around Reid. A flash of hurt passed through his eyes.

"Don't be sorry…I like it. But I don't want to get too carried away," I laughed, "Allan might get jealous." The look on Reid's face was priceless.

"She is just pulling your leg Reid; Pogue is the one I'm after." This sent everyone into another fit of laughter.

"Since Reid and B got us kicked out of the cinema I say we all head to Nicky's," suggested Pogue.

Kayla was the one to answer, "that sounds awesome, we will follow you in B's car." She kissed Tyler quickly before pulling me from Reid, whispering in my ear "told you so, you are still grinning like an idiot," before climbing into the back of the Lexus. I caught a glimpse of myself in the car window and saw that she was so right.

"I can't believe you kissed Reid!" exclaimed Lisa once we were moving, "I mean you hate him."

"I don't hate him…I just hadn't got to know him. I still don't know him! It is complicated."

"Looks simple to me, you want in his pants and he wants in yours."

"Allan, do you have to be so vulgar! It is nothing like that."

"We'll see." In my rear view mirror I could see that Lisa and Kayla were the ones who were now grinning like idiots, whereas Allan didn't look up from his phone. I brought my attention back to Tyler's car in front. Lisa was right, I had sort of hated Reid. He had always seemed like a guy who was way too full of himself. But the Reid I had gotten to know over the past few days was completely different. I felt drawn to him, the energy that seemed to connect me to him was hard to ignore and only seemed to be getting stronger.

Before we knew it, we were parking up outside Nicky's. I hadn't really spent much time here but it was a popular place with people from my school. Reid opened my door and took my hand as we headed into the bar.

"You know you don't have to look so scared" Reid whispered, making me stop and stare at him puzzled. "Just saying you look a bit nervous."

"I'm not nervous I just can't believe the situation I am in. I mean you have to admit, two days ago we didn't exactly see eye to eye…"

"That is putting it mildly." He joked.

"Let me finish… but then here we are. It's strange, but I like it." Reid didn't reply but gentle pressed his lips against mine before smiling and leading me into Nicky's.

We walked over and joined the others at a table next to the pool table. The place was busier than I thought it would be for lunch time but I suppose there wasn't much else for people our age to do around Ipswich. I looked around my friends to see them all laughing and having fun and I wondered to myself why I didn't do things like this more often.

Reid's POV

I couldn't stop my mind wandering back constantly to the feeling of power in the pit of my stomach that I felt every time I was this close to Isabella. The power seemed to flow from where ever we made contact; from her hip against my thigh as she moved forward to hear Kalya, or from the few strands of hair I kept playing with between my fingers. The rest of the guys must have sensed it too as they kept stealing curious glances at us both.

My attention was brought back to the present with Aaron Abbot wandering up to the table. "Garwin I see you have yet another toy and I have to say an extremely pretty one at that. Definitely an upgrade," he smirked, leering at Isabella, "how about when you are done with Garwin I show you who the big boys do it," he winked.

I could feel my power pulse with protective instinct for Isabella but before I could react Isabella glared at Aaron, "sorry but I am so not interested. I don't usually pay attention to gossip but I hear you don't have that much to offer."

Allan and Lisa just looked at her in amazement whilst the rest of us struggled to control ourselves. Before Aaron could retort, Pogue grabbed his arm and escorted him away none too gently. When he was away I turned to Isabella who was now bent over laughing, and soon we were all in hysterics.

"Isabella Grey, where that hell did that come from?" Exclaimed Lisa

"I have no idea, I just can't stand that guy, and how dare he talk about me like that. Asshole! Plus I only repeated what everyone else has said."

That sent us over the edge. She was usually such a quiet, refined girl and to hear her say this stuff was hilarious.

…

A few hours later and I was walking Isabella to her dorm. We had dropped Caleb home along the way and the rest had chosen to stay a little longer. "Reid, can I ask you something?"

I turned and stood so I could see her face in the light about her dorm door. She looked a bit nervous which made me worry on what the question could be. "Sure."

"What made you kiss me in the cinema?"

"I…erm… I don't know," her face seemed to sink a little, "I mean, it just felt like the right thing to do, I feel…drawn to you."

"I feel it too, it's strange but I know what you mean." She felt it too! I didn't want to have to explain it to her just yet.

So I ended the subject, "I am glad you do," and kissed her goodnight.
