(Arobella POV)
Weeks after the Brunch incident between Reid and his father, Reid would spend most of his weekends at Tyler's house or at Pogue's. As a result most of the time that I spent with Tyler Reid was the third wheel. At first I understood but by the fifth weekend with him making snarky comments whenever Tyler would do something sweet, or we would kiss I was done with understanding.
"Look Reid, we need to talk."
"About what? How you want to have a passionate sexual affair with me behind baby boys back?"
"That's it right there!"
"Hey I was only joking"
"No butthead, I meant that, those snarky comments you're always making about Tyler and me. I get that ever since your dad has been dating my mom he's been here more then you're used to but you need to stop hiding from him. I would like to have Tyler one weekend to myself without you there constantly butting in and making fun of everything we do. My mom told me that after you left brunch that you're dad felt really badly about the whole thing. Why don't you go talk to him instead of bugging us?"
Reid looked at me with this shocked expression on his face. Kind of like it was another person telling him that they didn't want him around. He turned to leave my house, as he was grabbing the door he said "If you didn't want me around you could have said it earlier. But then again what's new you're just another person that doesn't need me."
When the door closed I started thinking about what I said and what he just said and groaned. "Maybe I should have said it nicer."
"Said what nicer? Hey where's Reid? How come you look so sad?"
I turned around to see Tyler coming back from the kitchen with a tray of sodas with chips; I just sighed and leaned back on the sofa. "I just told Reid that I was getting annoyed that he was always with us and making comments at us and how he should go home."
"Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one feeling that way. I love him and all and he's like my brother but there are times when he needs to shut up."
"No, not thank god. You should have seen his face when I told him Tyler. He looked so…let down. Then when he left he said 'what's new? You're just another person that doesn't need me.' I think I messed up big time Tyler."
"Oh, Oh man. This isn't good, I know you meant well honey but he has a thing about people never wanting him around. I should probably go see if I can catch up to him. Tell him that you didn't mean it the way it came out."
"No, you don't have to do that. I'll go look for him; it was me that said it so I should be the one to apologize."
Tyler came over to me and gave me a hug. When he kissed the spot between my shoulder and my neck he said "Don't look so sad. I'm sure that once you tell him you didn't mean it that way he'll get over it. He's probably at my house getting his stuff. I'll wait here for you."
I grabbed Tyler's face and kissed him like I had been dying to do so for weeks, without anyone there to see. It was one of those 'I don't know what I'd do without you' kisses that were full of passion and promise. "I've wanted to do that for weeks now. I'll see you in a bit."
"You know for a girl that hadn't been kissed until I came along and saved you, you sure have learned fast."
That got me to laugh and lighten my mood a smidgen, so I gave him another kiss, this time smaller. "Well I can't help it if I have such a hot ass teacher to help me kiss." We laughed a bit and kissed one more time before I went off in search of Reid. When I rang at the back door the house keeper Mrs. Perkins opened and welcomed me in with a warm smile.
"I thought young Mr. Simms was over at your house Miss."
"Oh he is but I came over to talk to Reid for a bit, thought he might be here."
"He was. But you just missed him. Mrs. Simms is driving him to his house right now."
"Oh, well poo. Guess I have to talk to him when we get to school."
"I'm sorry Miss. But is there anything I can do for you?"
"No that's okay. Thanks anyway, I'll see you later then Mrs. Perkins."
"Bye dear."
When I got back to my house I found Tyler sitting on the sofa looking through old photo albums that were kept under the coffee table. He looked up when he heard the door close.
"Oh hey honey. That was fast, how'd he take it?"
"He didn't-"
"He didn't? What the hell it wasn't like you meant it on purpose. You didn't even know about his issues. Don't worry I'll go talk to him for you."
"No it wasn't that Tyler. I meant that he didn't take it because he wasn't there. Your mom took him to his place."
"Oh. Well you'll just see him at school and tell him. But in the mean time did you know that you were the most adorable little baby."
"Oh no, please tell me that you're not seeing the baby first picture book thing."
"Yes I am and you were just the cutest little fluffy thing. And awe look at that! You have your first tooth in this one."
I ran over to the couch and tried to take the books away but he just turned kept flipping through the pages. "I didn't know that people actually dressed their girls up in poofy dresses and pigtails. It's cute you should try it again for me"
"Tyler! Let me find out you have a baby fetish." That got him to start laughing really hard and I almost got a hold of the book but at the last minute he turned and stuck his butt out in the air to keep me away. "Nuh uh none of that missy. Oh wow." He stopped moving around and I grabbed the book away and bent to put it back in the table's drawer. "Oh wow what?" I turned around and caught him staring at my butt.
"You have a birth mark on you butt?"
"How do you know about that?"
"There was a picture in there and you were on your belly." He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing his way from my jaw to my ear. "Don't think you're getting off easy Mister. I am going to ask your mother to show me every embarrassing picture of you as pay back."
Tyler started nibbling on my ear and he held me tighter against him as he whispered "Don't worry I'll let you see them if you want. Now about this birthmark…" He started working his way back down my jaw and was kissing the corners of my mouth.
"What about it?"
"Can I see it?"
I wrapped my arms around his neck and was playing with his hair as he started to really kiss me. "Mmm I don't know. Let me think about it some more." With that I started to really kiss him. I stood on my tip toes and got as close as I could get. He held on to me even tighter and were lost in our own little world. I felt like I was being devoured by him, and not in the wet sloppy way. When his tongue came into my mouth I let out a little moan and that only got him to squeeze his hands tighter and pull me closer then I thought we could ever get. I don't know if it was him or me but we started moving towards the sofa and once there he sat down and I straddled him while never breaking the kiss. From this point we were chest to chest and everything else lined up perfectly. Tyler started to rub his hand on my left thigh while his other hand went under my shirt and touched my back. This was the most that he had ever touched me and I started feeling things I had never felt. I pulled my mouth away to breathe a little and he continued on with kissing my neck. He would occasionally bite me softly on the skin between my neck and shoulder. I was grabbing his hair and pulling him closer to me, I had never felt more alive then in that moment. The hand that had been rubbing my thigh started moving up my leg and hip and was working its way up the side of my stomach. I knew he was going to grab my breast; I started getting these intense feelings in the pit of my stomach. My breast had never been more sensitive then it had just waiting for him to touch me. When he rubbing the underside of my breast I felt like I was burning with need. I didn't know what to do other then press my chest closer and pray that he got the hint or something. And boy did he get the hint!
He started to rub his thumb over my breast. When he felt my nipple harden at his contact he put his palm over my breast and held it there as if testing its weight. When he seemed pleased with it he squeezed it slightly eliciting a gasp from me. he lifted his head from my neck when he heard that and he just looked at me like he had never done so before. It was pure naked desire burning there and I couldn't take it anymore. "Kiss me Tyler." At hearing those words come out all breathy and wanton he gave me a wolfish smile and squeezed my breast again, but this time to see my expression. It felt exquisite to have him touching my that way that I closed my eyes and leaned closer in to his touch. The hand that was on my back moved to my neck, as he pulled my head down to give me what I wanted.
As we started kissing like starved animals I couldn't help but feel something hard between my legs that was not coming from me. I slightly moved my hips and as a result pressed closer to it and realized it was Tyler's manhood that was getting hard. That got him to groan into my mouth and put the hand that was on my neck back down to my hip. I liked feeling the rush that I got out of hearing him moaning so I experimented a little more by moving my hips in a more natural way. Tyler's hand started to squeeze my hip and soon his other hand joined in. I was pressing my chest to his and he was pulling me down to get closer to his lap. I had never realized what I was missing until that precise moment, I was burning up and I felt like I had a pack of hummingbirds in my stomach. Just as I unbuttoned the first two buttons on his shirt I heard the back door opening and my mother calling my name to tell me that she was home. I reluctantly pulled away from his mouth and we were both breathing hard. I looked into his eyes and saw that he still looked a little dazed, when he heard my mom coming down the hall he quickly realized the position that we were in and what exactly we were doing and unceremoniously dumped me on the other end of the sofa. He grabbed the photo book again and pretended to be looking at them just as my mother walked in.
"Hey baby girl, Hi Tyler. What are you kids up to?"
We both looked at each other and then quickly away before I said "Oh nothing just showing Tyler the photo album. Right Tyler?"
"Uh yea, Arobella was really cute as a kid."
I hit him in the arm with one of the sofa pillows and said "Hey I'm still cute heheh and don't you forget that" We all laughed a little and them my mom said "Would you kids help me with some of the groceries?"
Tyler gave me a frantic look and motioned that he couldn't really get up still and I chuckled a little. That earned me a glare from him; I turned to my mom and said "I'll go help. We'll just let Tyler keep looking through that." My mom turned to go back out down the hall and I got up to follow. When I went around the sofa I turned back and leaned down to whisper in Tyler's ear in a sing-a-song voice "I know why you can't get up" Before he could turn around to look at me I kissed his cheek and ran off to help my mom before she came back looking for me. I heard talking to him self saying "Think of Aunt Mildred's toes, think of the toes, think of the toes." I couldn't help but just be happy about the whole thing.
(Reid POV)
"Thanks for the ride Mrs. Simms, Bye." God I just hope he's not home.
I know that some of what baby girl said was true, that I have been a third wheel to them ever since that day, but she could have been a little bit nicer about it. I didn't tell them but the other day Pogue and Kate even hinted that I was always around when they wanted to screw each others brains out. Hell even my fucking father is paired off with someone now a days. It's like everyone has someone and I'll always be the spare, mind you I like sleeping with girls and as many as I can get my hands on. Never know when I might not be able to because of this whole aging/using issue. But still what is it about me lately that no one wants to be around? Not even baby girls' stupid roommate wants me around and I've never done anything to her dumb ass.
As I walked down the halls past my fathers' office I head him talking to someone on the phone. Normally I don't give a shit who he talks to but something about his voice sounded off. As if he were tired and not physically tired but emotionally tired. I saw that his door was slightly open and I went to go snoop on him.
"I don't know what to do anymore Julia, he wont come home and I haven't spoken to him in months. How am I going to start up a conversation? It was so much easier when he was just a boy, he would spend hours with his friends or his mother and the only times I saw him he was such a sweet kid and looked up to me. Now he's become so cynical and sarcastic that I don't even know when he's actually talking or acting out."
He paused as if listening to what baby girls' mom was telling him on the other end. I heard him sigh as if defeated and slump down in his chair. I didn't realize until that moment that I slump that way in school too. Humph guess I got that from him.
"You got home now?...Okay dear I'll see you tonight. Thank you for your advice I honestly don't know what I'd do without you anymore. Bye"
What the hell? How far have these two gone that they sound all "Involved" just as I was turning to head to my room my bag hit the table that was along the wall, making so much noise that I knew he would know I was snooping.
"Reid? Is that you?"
"Shit…um yea."
He opened the door and saw me fixing the picture frame that had my mom and me in it. "So, um when did you get home?"
"When did you start getting serious about baby girls mom?"
"Baby girl? Isn't that what you call Arnolds boy Tyler? I could have sworn it was baby boy though."
"No, baby girl is your Julia's daughter. And you never answered the question."
"Neither did you Son" Reid scoffed when he heard the word son.
"What ever, got home just now, now if you'll excuse me I have things to do."
"Wait Reid, I want to talk to you."
"What for?, we seemed to get on for years with out saying a word to each other."
"I know son. That is mainly my fault but I would like to still talk to you." He didn't wait for his sons answer and continued on to his office where instead of sitting at his chair behind the desk he sat in one of the two chairs he had for guests. He motioned for Reid to sit in the other one. When Reid sat it was in a slouched position that was the exact duplicate of the way his father sat just a few moments ago.
"Now son, to answer your question, I don't know when it started to get deeper with Julia. But I do think she is a beautiful, intelligent woman and she reminds me of your mother in many ways-''
"I'm sure she'll just love to know that you like her because she reminds you of mom."
"Maybe that's some small reason as to why I want to spend time with her. But the main thing is that I enjoy her company and want to see where this will go."
"What for? You'll just end up leaving like you always do." His father sighed before speaking.
"Reid I know that after your mother died it was difficult for you, for me as well."
"How would you know what was difficult for me when you just up and left the week after we buried her." Reid got up to leave but his father used and slammed the door shut.
"What the hell? Now you're going to use on me? Some father you are."
"Reid sit down I was not finished talking with you."
Reid sat not because he was told to but because he knew that his father never used around him and for him to do so he really must have wanted to say his piece. Not to mention that he was a little bit afraid that if he made his father use more he didn't want him to become like Caleb's dad because if he lost him then he really would be alone.
"Now as I was saying, yes I left a week after she was gone but that reason was because I had a major business meeting that I couldn't reschedule. Then once I got there and I saw that it was easier to not be in pain about your Mother, I thought it would help me deal better until I could figure out what to do for us. But I guess I got addicted to not feeling anything and I knew that if I came around I would be bombarded with memories of her."
"So you just left me here alone? Do you know that that whole time I wasn't crying out because only mom died? I cried because you weren't there to tell me it was going to be okay or something. You left me alone with a bunch of maids and butlers I hardly knew. It's no wonder I can't stand to see your face."
When Reid said that his father looked like he was shot in the head, his face became pale and his eyes got a wet sheen to them. When he spoke his voice wasn't all together solid anymore. "I know that I was a horrible father to you during these past few years and you have no idea how right you were when you said I should be the one that's ashamed of my self. The amount of shame and guilt I feel for not being there as I should have eats away at me but I want to try and be here for you now."
"What the hell for? I already ascended it's not like I need you to help me through that, I had my friends there to help me."
"I know son, I was a wreck not knowing how you'd come out of that one. I had Arnold keep me informed of you for months before and after to see how you were handling. You may think I don't care and maybe I haven't shown you that I do but I have always been informed of how you were doing and of what you were missing… What did you think I have secretaries send you all those things you have?"
"Pretty much."
"No it was me; I even stood on lines to get you those Green Day tickets you wanted for your 17th birthday. Got sick like a dog out in the rain but I stayed there. I know you don't want to be around me and that's why you haven't been home all these weekends but one thing that Julia has taught me is that I can't give up. You're my son Reid, the only family I have left…all that I have left of your mother and I love you no matter what."
By then Archibald had tears streaming down his face and Reid was shocked into silence. He didn't know what to do or say, not once at the funeral did he see his father cry. He heard him break things but never cry. He did the only thing he could think of and that was "Um the concert kicked ass just so you know."
His father barked out a laugh and whipped his eyes. "So what do you say? Want to give us a shot to be the father and son we should have been years ago?"
"I guess we could try."
"Good, now will you be coming home on weekends now? I have a lot of time to make up for."
"Um yea I guess."
"Good we can go see that movie that everyone's talking about, what was the name of it??"
"Transformers?"
"No, no not that one…Ah yes that Harry Potter one."
Reid couldn't help but start laughing so hard that he fell off the chair; all he heard was his father asking "What's wrong with that movie?"
Next Morning at school Arobella POV
"Hey Maggie, I was thinking we could go into town later on this week and pick out costumes."
"Costumes for what?"
"The Halloween ball that's next week, duh!"
"Oh I wasn't planning on going to that."
"Why not? Come on it'll be fun. And if it's the costume thing don't worry I'll help you."
"I don't know, I'm pretty sure no one will ask me and I'm to chicken to try and ask someone out again."
"Oooh you asked someone out before? Who was it?"
"I'd rather not live through that again. It kind of blew up in my face and I'd rather just not do it again."
"Well who ever it was that you asked is a giant turd for not saying yes, you're great just as you are. But come on at least come with me to pick out costumes, if you still don't feel like it I wont bug ya to go."
Maggie sighed but I could tell that she secretly wanted to go. "Fine I'll go with you to pick out costumes." Arobella clapped her hands like a seal which made Maggie laugh. "Come on lets go get something to eat." As they both turned to go to the cafeteria someone called out Arobella's name.
"Ugh it's him. I can't stand him"
"Who Reid? He's ok once you get to know him."
"Fat chance. Anyway I'll go grab up a table and wait for you there." Maggie rolled her eyes at Reid before she turned to go through the double doors.
"Hey baby girl what's up your little buddy there? She's always treating me like crap, most girls love me."
"Ha ha funny, but I don't know what's wrong with her. Maybe she just doesn't like you? You know not everyone has to fall for your charm Reid."
"I know, just you." He winked at me and laughed. "Anyway I just wanted to apologize for cramping your thing with Tyler these past few weeks."
"What? I was going to apologize for being mean to you. I know I should have said it nicer and I do like hanging with you so I don't want you to think that I don't okay?"
"Yea I know, and I get it but I had a talk with my dad and he kind of helped me see the error of my ways."
"You talked to your dad?"
"Yea…it's a long story I'll tell you about it some other time. I think our parents are starting to get a little serious though."
"What?"
"You really need to get your head out of Tyler's mouth you know heh heh. You're missing out on all the fun."
"Shut up Reid."
"Just as your mom if you don't believe me. But to my second reason why I wanted to talk to you."
"There's another reason?"
"Yea… about that favor you owe me…"
"Oh crap, forgot about that one."
"Luckily for you I didn't. Now what I want is some alone time with your little friend there."
"What friend?"
"Maggie…"
"Reid what are you going to do? Don't try to make her one of your many hoe's. She's nice Reid."
"Really? Could have fooled me! but what I want is for you to get her to meet next week and make sure that no one interrupts us."
"What for Reid?"
"Don't worry I won't defile your little friend I just want to talk to her and make her listen."
"Ugh… you know she's going to kill me if I help you."
"Don't worry about it I'll take care of it. Just get her to the library on the day of the ball okay."
"What if I don't want to do it?"
"You have to, you owe me remember? Anyway I'm counting on you, see ya."
"Wait Reid..."
"Can't sorry gotta run." With that he left me in the hall. I was biting my lip on the way to the cafeteria hoping that Maggie wouldn't kill me next week. Damn Reid.
(A/N: oooooh the favor hehehehehe I wonder what's he gonna do to her in the library hehehe Thanks for reading and waiting for me to get it out of my flemmed up mind lol So please review )
