Chapter 9

I do not own The Covenant or Beautiful Creatures in any way.

A/N-Thank you to chocolatechipcookielover for helping me get over my road block.


The next day, Kennedy and Larkin were invited to sit with the 'Sons of Ipswich' at lunch.

Kennedy got to meet Pouge's girlfriend, Kate.

"Kate, this Kennedy and Larkin", Caleb introduced, "Kennedy, Larkin, this is Kate".

"Oh right, Tyler's girlfriend", Kate said.

Both Kennedy and Tyler blushed.

"Oh…we're not…" Tyler said.

"That's only because Baby Boy hasn't plucked up enough courage to ask her out", Reid said as Tyler blushed even brighter.

"So, Larkin. Seen any girls you're interested in?" Kate asked.

"Nah, I'm just here to look after Kennedy", Larkin said.

Kate looked confused.

"Kennedy and Larkin are cousins", Reid explained.

"Oh! That's sweet", Kate said.

Bimbo, Larkin thought, causing Kennedy to snort.

"Don't mind them", Tyler said, "They have this weird mental connection".

"Like twins?" Kate asked.

"Kind of", Kennedy said.

The bell rang and Tyler and Kennedy headed to English together.

Tyler was strangely quiet.

"Tyler, is something wrong?" Kennedy asked.

"Would you like to…umm…go on a date with me tonight?" he asked.

"I'd love to", she said.

Tyler smiled and said, "How about Nicky's? You've never really been there".

"Will the guys be there?" she asked.

"They might…" Tyler said.

"Pick me up?" she asked.

Tyler smiled again.


After school, Kennedy rushed home to change.

"Excited much?" Larkin asked her.

She glared at him. She took in her appearance. Her fire red hair was curled slightly. She wore a t-shirt with skinny jeans, converse, and a black leather jacket. She met Tyler in the parking lot.

"You look great", he said.

"Thanks, you do too", she said.

They got in the Hummer and sped off to Nicky's.

The Mustang and Ducati were absent, so Tyler and Kennedy were alone.

Tyler led her inside and dragged her to the back of the bar.

They ordered burgers and fries.

As they ate, Tyler asked her, "How do you like Ipswich?"

"It's fine. I still miss the South though. New England is just…so different", she told him, "But you make everything better".

Tyler blushed and took a drink of his coke.

"Let's dance", she said.

"I…can't", Tyler said.

"Nonsense", she said and dragged him onto the dance floor as "Pour some sugar on me" started playing. Kennedy grabbed Tyler and pulled her closer to her. She ground her hips into his as they danced.

They danced to about 3 songs.

"Wanna get out of here?" Tyler asked.

Kennedy nodded.

He led her to the Hummer and drove her home. He walked her to her apartment.

"I had fun tonight", she told him.

"So did I", Tyler said. He leaned in and kissed her. "Goodnight Kennedy", Tyler said.

"Goodnight Tyler", she said going inside.

"Have fun?" Larkin asked.

"Yeah", Kennedy said.

A few minutes later, they heard a knock.

Thinking it was Tyler, she opened the door.

There stood a police officer.

"Can I help you officer?" Kennedy asked him.

"Are you Kennedy Ravenwood?" he asked.

"I am", she said.

"I'm here to take you home", he said.
