Recap:

"Have you heard the stories about the sons and the founding families," her boyfriend asked.

"Y-yeah, you're supposed to be w-witches," she shuddered nervously.

"We prefer warlocks," Reid shrugged. The plate slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.

"They're true," she gasped, backing away from him.

"Ace," Reid said softly. He lifted his hands up in a nonthreatening gesturing; taking a step towards her.

"Get away from me," she shouted, holding in her scream.

"Ace, this doesn't change anything. It's still me. Please don't be afraid," pleaded Reid.

"Show me," Asher ordered, gaining some control of her emotions. "I want to see you do magic."

"Alright," Reid agreed. He let out a sigh before sticking out his hand. His eyes went black as the power surged within him and then, in his hand was a white rose. "Go on, take it. It's real," Reid encouraged. Hesitantly, Asher took the rose for him. It was real. She could feel the coarse stem and the softness of its petals.

"This isn't real," she gasped. "This type of stuff just doesn't exist. It's all in fairytales and stories."

"It does exist, Ace. I'm living proof of that," Reid said solemnly. "I love you Asher. I'm taking a huge risk telling you about us but I love you and I don't want any secrets between."

"Really Reid," asked Asher.

"I could never live in a world where you didn't exist. You're all I think about – all I care about," he admitted.

"My boyfriend, the warlock," Asher smiled.

"Pretty cool huh," and at that, Asher burst into laughter.

Reid's grip on Asher's waist tightened as she let his tongue enter her mouth. They were lying on her bed, wrapped in each other's arms. At first Reid had come over for help on a history paper but ten minutes into their study session he began to notice how her hair fell in her eyes. He leaned over to tuck it behind her ear but his lips found her ear instead and it wasn't long before they were kissing.

Reid used and all their textbooks were stacked on Asher's desk; out of their way. He noticed his girlfriend take in his black eyes and saw her flinch at the sight. Reid let out a sigh before getting off the bed. Asher watched with curiosity as he ran a hand through his hair. He looked sadden and frustrated for some reason.

"Hey, what's wrong," asked Asher.

In the past two weeks since she had found out about his powers, Reid and Asher had come a long way but she was still afraid of him. It hurt even time he saw the fear in her eyes.

"Ace, are you afraid of him," he asked, moving to sit next to her on the bed.

"What, of course not," said Asher. "What would make you think that?"

"You don't look at me the same anymore and you flinch every time I use," he told her.

Reid noticed Asher bit her bottom lip nervously. "It's not that I'm afraid of you hurting me. I know you'd never do that," said Asher. "I'm afraid something is going to happen to you. I'm afraid of you getting addicted to it."

Reid brushed his hand across her check. "That's not going to happen, Ace. I promise you that," he told her. He leaned in and kissed her forehead. "Now promise me you won't stress yourself over this."

"Okay, I promise," said Asher, giving him a small smile.

Both Reid and Asher heard the sound of the door opening and they turned to see Alison entering the room. "Hey Ally," said Asher.

Her roommate completely ignored her just as she had been the last two weeks. She just grabbed some clothes from her closet and went to into the bathroom to change. Allison obviously wasn't happy for her best friend and her new relationship. Reid just rolled his eyes. He had told Asher to stop worrying about Allison and that she would get over her issues eventually. He knew she was just jealous of Asher. A smirk spread across Reid's face as an idea came to him. He leaned in and captured his girlfriend's lips with his. Thinking it was going to be a quick kiss, Asher was surprised when he didn't pull away but wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his lap.

"Get a room you two," Allison sneered, coming out of the bathroom now dressed in a short light blue mini shirk and white tank top.

"We have one. Get out," Reid smirked. Allison gave Reid a hard glare before slamming the door on her way out.

"You could try to be nice to her, you know," Asher laughed.

"I could," he admitted, "but I won't. I don't even know why you're friends with her."

"It's complicated," Asher said, letting out a sigh.

"Explain it to me," Reid said with interest.

"Well, when my dad died and I had to move in with my mom she was never really home. I was really lonely," admitted Asher. "That fall when she sent me here to Spencer, Allison was the first friend I made. She was roommate and I guess I wasn't lonely anymore. Her parents had just split too so we became pretty close; best friends even since."

"It's hard to image. You two are polar opposites," Reid said, shaking his head in amusement.

"Yeah, I've heard that," laughed Asher. "I like to think we balance each other out. She makes sure I have fun and I make sure she doesn't end up in prison."

"She's lucky she has someone like you looking out for her," said Reid, giving her hand a light squeeze.

After they finished studying, it was so late Reid just decided to spend the night. Not that Asher minded. She now had a comfy Reid pillow she could cuddle with.

The next morning Reid and Asher were running to classes. "This is all your fault Reid," Asher tired to yell despite the lack of oxygen in her lungs.

"Oh com on Ace," Reid pouted as they raced down the hall.

"Mr. Garwin, Ms. Grayson I'd appreciate it if you two arrived to my class on time in the future," their teacher said when they walked into the classroom.

"Sorry," Asher apologized before Reid could cut in with some sarcastic remark. She pulled him to their seats and they sat down.

Asher was listing to their teacher and writing notes when a piece of paper landed in front of her. Making sure no one noticed, she unfolded the note and read her boyfriend's awful scribble: The fall fest is this Friday. Want to go? –R

Asher smiled as she wrote her reply. You really need to work on your handwriting Garwin. And Yes I'd love to –A. She quickly tossed the note back to Reid with her reply.
