Chapter 12: Warm, In All The Right Places
After crying Aubrey had fallen back to sleep in Reid's arms. He held her and fell into a light slumber as well. When Aubrey woke again she found the bed next to her empty, but could hear the water running into the sink in the bathroom. A few moments passed and the bathroom door pulled open and out stepped Reid clad in his baggy black and gray flannel pajama bottoms, the elastic band of his Calvin Klein boxers picking out the top.
And for a moment just staring at her boyfriend, in all his naked chested glory, every bad thing that had transpired the last two days seemed to leave her mind. "Hey." Reid said seeing her awake. He stretched and Aubrey watched fascinated as his abs and what she could see of his groin muscles stretched visibly. Reid wasn't extremely well defined, but he was lean and masculine. He was perfect.
She looked at his newer tattoos he'd gotten since the beginning of the year, one on his bicep just after the shoulder rounded down into the arm, he had another one on his chest over his heart a skull and cross bones, he'd gotten that back before Thanksgiving.
"Hey." She finally replied as he came walking back over to the bed. He climbed on to the bed and laid down on top of the covers next to her.
"Merry Christmas." Reid said leaning in and kissing her lightly.
Aubrey scoffed. "The only good thing about this Christmas is you." She told him with a tight smile. Reid looked at her sympathetically. "Do you think I got through to him?"
"Loud and clear." Reid nodded. "Did you mean what you said about having a relationship with Nicky?"
Aubrey rolled on her side propping her head up on to her hand, elbow buried into the pillow her head had previously been laying on. "Yeah. Obviously my mom wanted me to know he was my dad, I'm sure that she wanted me to have a chance to get to know him." She said her free hand picking at the small specs of lint on the sheet beneath her. "It'll be a little awkward though, walking in to the bar 'Hey Nicky, ya I'm good. Look I know you know that I'm your daughter.'" Aubrey said a bit sarcastically.
Reid chuckled faintly. "I somehow don't think it'll be that way."
"It'll still be strange." Aubrey said looking at him.
An obnoxious buzzing sounded from next to the bed. Aubrey recognized it and rolled over reaching down in to her messenger bag to grab her sidekick. "Hello?" She answered.
"Merry Christmas! Whatcha up to?"
This brought a smile to Aubrey's lips as she rolled on to her back. "Merry Christmas Val and I'm at Reid's."
"And the daddy dearest is ok with that?" Val questioned.
Aubrey scoffed. "Of course not, but everything seemed to just blow up today."
"Dish." Val said enthusiastically.
"It's kind of a long story Val." Aubrey replied quietly. "And I'd rather not talk about it right now."
"Oh, ok. Well I'm here, at the dorms all by my lonesome if you want to talk later." Val said but Aubrey giggled slightly at the tone in her voice.
"You're all alone. What happened to your parents flying in early this morning?" Aubrey questioned.
"Their flight got grounded. Apparently there were a couple bad storms blocking their flight path, not to mention it snowed last night. Didn't you see it when you got up this morning?" Val asked.
"Nope, haven't left the basement." Aubrey said quietly.
"Kinky." Val teased.
Aubrey rolled her eyes. "Teasing me is no way to get me to ask the Garwin's if you can come join us for the day."
"Oh please Aubrey, I'm so bored here." Val pleaded playfully.
Aubrey giggled and turned her head to look at Reid who was just laying their watching her. "Can Val come over and join us for the holiday?"
Reid shrugged. "Sure I guess, if she wants."
"Your mom and dad wont mind?" Aubrey questioned.
"Tyler's coming for dinner tonight, I don't see why Val can't come spend the day. Mom and Dad shouldn't have a problem with it." Reid said.
Aubrey smiled at him and then looked back up at the ceiling. "We'll come get you."
Val squealed on the other end of the line with excitement. "I love you." She said happily. "I can be ready in an hour. When can you be here?"
"What time is it?" Aubrey asked.
"Eleven thirty."
"Well we just got up I don't know if the Garwin's have any plans, let me find out and get dressed and I'll call you back. I need to swing by my place and grab some clothes, I don't want to be home for the next couple days." Aubrey explained.
Val grimaced. "Must be bad this time."
"Multiply bad times ten and it just gets worse." Aubrey told her sullenly.
Val sighed. "K, well call me back."
"I will, bye." Aubrey ended the call and set her cell phone on the nightstand next to Reid's bed and started to get up. "I don't have any clean clothes." Aubrey groaned walking towards the bathroom.
"You can borrow mine."
"Reid your clothes are far to big on me to actually stay on." Aubrey giggled walking in to the bathroom and shutting the door. Reid got up making his way to his closet and he started rummaging through his jeans. He finally came across an old pair of baggy distressed jeans, he loved them but he'd grown to tall for them a few years back when he'd hit his growth spurt in junior high. He then went through his shirts and found an old black t-shirt.
When he came out of his closet Aubrey was looking at her jeans and t-shirt from the night before. "Here put these on instead." Reid handed her the clothes.
"Reid their too big." Aubrey said eying them.
Reid gave her a playful grin. "Just do it." So she slipped the jeans on and just before she went to remove the shirt she wore and switch it she frowned. "My bra." she said and held the jeans at her waist while she walked in to his bathroom in search of the article of clothing. She found it hanging, oddly enough, on the door handle on the back of the bathroom door. She didn't remember putting it there, but Reid had probably picked it up and put it there. She took the shirt off, sticking it on the counter and put her bra on.
As she walked out she grabbed the night shirt and stuck it in the hamper to the left of the bathroom door inside his room. She grabbed the black-t-shirt from the bed and slipped it on. "Ok Reid, this is going to be a problem." Aubrey said pointing to the jeans that hung to low on her waist.
She watched as his eyes bled black and felt the articles of clothing change to fit her body. When she looked down, the shirt was slim to her torso, exposing just enough of her abdomen to see a faint glance of her tattoo. And the jeans were baggy and loose fitting, but hung close to her waist now and the length had altered as well, so she wouldn't be walking on the legs themselves.
"Better?" Reid smirked, his eyes back to that intoxicating blue that she loved.
Aubrey walked over, bare feet padding over the carpet to him and she put her arms around his waist, his lower half clad in a pair of distressed dark denim jeans, his torso still bare. "Thanks." She smiled standing up on her tiptoes and kissing him. Reid responded by grabbing the back of her legs, just beneath the curve of her butt and he lifted her. Her arms repositioned themselves around his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist. Their lips broke momentarily when Aubrey giggled, but everything fell silent once again when their lips glued back together.
"Sweets?"
A sigh of happiness broke from her lips as they broke their long passionate kiss. Her eyes opened and locked with his. "Hmm?"
"Will you be my girlfriend again?" He asked with a grin.
She smiled brightly. "Well I'll have to think about it."
"Any way I can persuade you?"
Aubrey bit her bottom lip. "Maybe." She said with a grin. "But right now...we need to go upstairs and then go get Val. She's all alone on Christmas."
"Your feeling better I see." Reid replied letting her down.
Aubrey shrugged. "I'm just not thinking about it. Not right now, I just want to salvage some of my Christmas." Aubrey walked out of his bedroom, Reid following closely behind, neither wore shoes, they'd have to make it back downstairs at some point, but getting up to the main level of the house to speak with Reid's parents was kind of important at the moment.
Reid's parents really didn't mind much what he did, but Randall was always skeptical about new people being in his house. It was something most of the Son's father's exhibited in behavior, because they liked their privacy for obvious reasons.
Aubrey and Reid walked through the door at the top of the stairs and made their way down the long hall to the front living room, where they found Melinda reading and Randall was typing away at his laptop, dressed down in casual jeans and a button up shirt. "Wow, they look normal." Aubrey whispered jokingly to Reid.
He chuckled. "And now we see the Garwin's in their natural habitat." He whispered back to her sardonically.
"I heard that." Randall informed them, making both teens laugh practically through their noses. When they calmed down they walked over to the available love seat and sat down together. Aubrey snuggled close to Reid looked over into the corner of the room at the white lit Christmas tree.
"So?" Melinda asked them with a knowing grin. "What did you come up here to ask us?"
Reid smiled trying to be innocent but not succeeding at all. "Uh, what'd you get me for Christmas?" He asked.
Randall looked up. "It's out in the driveway, go take a look."
"That's not what he wanted Randall." Melinda said shaking her head with a smile.
"No but it'll do." Reid hopped off the couch and ran towards the front door. Aubrey heard it swing open and then... "A fucking Porsche! AUBREY!"
Aubrey looked at Melinda and shook her head jokingly. "A Porsche seriously, I'm gonna die young of a heart attack."
Melinda laughed softly. "Go, look, he's excited. Then harass him about being a safe driver." Aubrey got up and went to the front door. Reid pointed to the car right out front and Aubrey looked over and saw the shit eating grin on his face.
"Does this make you happy?" Aubrey asked gesturing to the car.
Reid looked over at her and shook his head no. Then he ran off and left Aubrey standing there with the door wide open looking completely confused.
He came running back a few moments later, scooped her up bridal style and ran out the door. Aubrey looked down and noticed his black steel toed boots on his feet, the laces weren't even done up properly. He ran over to the car, pulling the door handle on the passenger side open, his father having obviously not locked it when he pulled it in to the driveway this morning, and he set Aubrey down in the seat and then went around to the driver's side and sat down in the bucket seat himself.
He looked over at Aubrey, both car doors wide open, her sitting there giggling softly her eyes landing on him. "This makes me happy." He said with a grin.
Aubrey laughed lightly and looked around the car, her bare feet not even close to warm, but Reid was excited, she'd let him have his fun and then go inside and shove her feet into her socks and shoes. "I'm not sure I get it." Aubrey said.
Reid smirked. "A beautiful girl, my beautiful girl and an expensive beautiful car."
"You are so strange sometimes." She grinned.
"But you love me." Reid said smugly.
Aubrey grinned. "So you like to remind me every chance you get." She teased. Her eyes began wandering around the car. "This is incredible Reid."
"There's a but there, what is it?"
"You have to be really careful." Aubrey said looking at him pleadingly. "I know you like driving fast and a bit...erratic." She said finally settling on a word. "But please for my sake just be careful."
"Did my mom tell you to give me that speech?" Reid teased.
Aubrey frowned at him playfully. "No." She said and then rolled her eyes. "I mean it Reid. Me in the car or not drive careful. Please?"
Reid leaned over the center console and his hand came up to her cheek. His thumb rubbed lightly over her soft skin and he moved in and kissed her lips lightly. "I'll be as sane as possible." He said slightly joking.
Aubrey couldn't help it she giggled. "I guess that's all I can ask."
"Now, I want to drive my new car."
"No backseat." Aubrey said pointing in the back.
Reid frowned. "Damn."
Aubrey giggled. "Besides the grounds covered in snow, you've never driven this car, let alone in the snow do you honestly want to risk wrecking your new car the first day you have it?"
"I hate your logic." Reid said. And then started messing with things. "I've always wanted a Porsche, but my parents always said no."
"You must've shown them you can be responsible."
Reid snorted. "Oh ya that's it." He said sardonically.
Aubrey hit him in the arm. "Hey."
"Sorry." He chuckled. "So, I guess we should go back in the house."
Aubrey smiled at him. "Be excited a little longer."
He smirked. "Zero to sixty in four point one seconds..." And Reid rattled off a few more facts about his new 2006 midnight blue Porsche 911 GT3 and Aubrey listened intently at his enthusiasm. After a few more minutes Reid was just sat silently.
"I hate to ruin your moment with your new toy, but my feet are freezing Reid." Aubrey told him. "Not to mention you through on a beater, not a t-shirt."
Reid nodded his head as he climbed out of his seat and shut the door behind him. He walked around and leaned down into the open passenger side door and lifted Aubrey out of her seat into his arms, again bridal style. "Could you get the door Sweets?" Reid asked politely. Aubrey reached over and with a gentle but firm flick of the wrist she shut the car door. Then Reid made his way up the steps to the house and they went back inside back to the living room and back to the couch.
Aubrey buried her feet in between the two cushions of the love seat as she snuggled in to Reid's lap. "So?" Randall asked.
"Best Christmas ever!" Reid told him excitedly.
"Reid that's also your graduation present." Melinda informed him.
Reid nodded. "Fair enough."
"So what were you actually going to asked." Melinda inquired.
"Oh well actually I was going to ask if my friend Val could come over today." Aubrey said sweetly. "Her parents flight was grounded, not that she really wanted to spend it with them anyways, but she's all alone at the dorms."
Melinda looked over at Randall, who sensed her gaze and looked up. He nodded and Melinda's eyes diverted back to Aubrey. "I don't see why not. This will be the most people we've ever had in our home on a holiday, with Tyler coming for dinner as is tradition every year."
Aubrey smiled kindly. "Thank you."
Melinda smiled back. "No problem sweetheart, how are you?"
"Mom." Reid shook his head at her and Melinda frowned.
Aubrey kissed his cheek for trying to keep the subject away from that morning, but answered Melinda all the same. "I'm ok I guess."
"Mom can Aubrey stay for a few days? She doesn't really want to be at home and with Christmas break and everything I thought it might be ok." Reid asked.
Melinda nodded. "I guess. Your father and I are leaving tomorrow to go see your aunt, so you'll both be on your best behavior, right?" She asked looking at them, with that look. The one all mother's have but no one can ever really name cause it's just 'the mom look.'
Reid rolled his eyes. "Yes mom."
"Good. Now is your friend driving herself?"
"Uh no, we actually have to go get her." Aubrey said.
"And on that note, we probably should go do that, before she tries to find her way around Ipswich by herself." Reid said jokingly. "Last time she did that, was before Thanksgiving, and she got so lost, somehow she ended up on the bad side of town."
"Bad side? Honestly Reid there's no bad side to this town." Aubrey said teasingly. Reid picked her up in his arms again, her feet leaving the cushions and she huddled closer to his chest, her arms moving around his neck. "I could get use to being carried around."
Reid smirked at her. "Nothings free." He whispered huskily into her ear.
Aubrey giggled as he carried her out of the room and back down the hall to the main door to the basement. A little while later both were ready to leave and Aubrey picked up her phone and called Val to let her know they'd be there after a while.
"Ready?" Reid asked her.
Aubrey grabbed his hand as they walked out of his basement and upstairs. "Bye we'll be back." Aubrey yelled to the Garwin's as they passed through the foyer to the front door.
"Sweets?" Reid asked putting on his best innocent smile. Aubrey frowned.
"Promise me you'll be careful Reid?" She asked as they walked over to her car.
Reid nodded. "Promise?"
"Reid I mean it."
"I know just give me the damn keys." Reid said grinning and holding out his hand. Aubrey dropped the keys into his outstretched palm and his fingers closed around them a triumphant 'yes' whispered from his lips.
"I'm going to die young being in love with you." Aubrey joked.
Reid leaned down somewhat and kissed her gently. "No faith?" He teased.
Aubrey smiled. "Plenty, but you drive like a lunatic."
"Only in my car Sweets." Reid said knowingly. "...And Ty's. But that's it. I know your car means a lot to you, so I'll handle it like I'd handle..." Reid trailed off, tapping his fingers against his chin in thought as they paused in front of the vehicle in question. A grin grew on his lips. "I'll handle it like I'd handle you in my bed." He said huskily.
"Pervert." She whispered teasingly back, standing on tiptoes to kiss him and then spun around and over to the passenger door.
Reid unlocked the car with the key less entry and Aubrey climbed in. Once Reid was in the driver's seat he stuck the key in the ignition and turned it, bringing the engine to life. They both buckled up and he cautiously pulled around the the driveway over the snow. After pulling out of the front gate leading in to the Garwin estate, Reid put the car in second and drove slowly over the snow encased roads. Being such a small town, there wasn't a large population of people to complain about the snowy roads, so they very rarely got cleared when it snowed in the winter.
"My mom loved the snow at Christmas." Aubrey said absently as she looked out on the trees covered in white. It was so white it was almost blinding.
Reid was wondering silently to himself how the Provost had gotten to his house, so early that morning with all the snow, but he didn't say it out loud. Aubrey had told him her father had hired people to drive him when he needed to go places, none of his cars in the garage had been touched in years. "Well I guess we'll just have to spend some time outside today." Reid said reaching over and resting his hand palm up on her thigh. Aubrey slipped her hand into his their fingers linking together.
"Will you build a snowman with me?" Aubrey kidded.
Reid looked over for a split second a smirk on his face and he turned back to the road ahead. "As long as I can make it anatomically correct."
Aubrey giggled. "Snow woman than, that'll be a little less hard to explain to your parents, when they see a anatomically correct snow figure in their backyard...wait did you just say anatomically?"
Reid scoffed. "I know big words, I just chose not to use them, they hurt my brain." He joked.
"You are such a goof." Aubrey laughed softly.
After driving slow for about forty-five minutes they pulled up outside Aubrey's home, the front windows weren't lit a clear indication that her father wasn't home.
Aubrey smiled over at Reid disentangling their hands while he cut the engine. They both got out and Reid walked around the front of the car to Aubrey who was closest to the front door. He took her hand and they walked up to the house. Aubrey let them in with her key code for the lock and they headed straight upstairs to her room. She packed some clothes into her favorite duffel bag and then went in to her bathroom to grab some necessities.
"I'm ready." Aubrey said walking out of her bathroom, to find Reid snooping through her things. "Would you stop that." She said playfully. "There's nothing in there for you."
"What I'm just looking." Reid grinned shutting her top dresser drawer.
Aubrey rolled her eyes. "Let's go." She said. "I'll call Val on the way."
Spencer:
Aubrey was standing waiting outside the car, wool trench coat held tight around her body. Reid was leaning against the hood of the car. Val came barreling out of the dorms, enthusiastically before she carefully took the steps down a gift bag in her hand. "Here." She thrust the bag at Aubrey grinning from ear to ear as she reached the car.
"It's freezing get in the car." Aubrey instructed with a smile. Val greedily climbed in to the warmth that was the car and Reid and Val joined her.
"Well?" Val asked.
"Val I'm not opening it in the car." Aubrey said.
Val pouted. "Why not?"
"Cause..."
"See you can't come up with a good reason, and trust me you don't want to open that around Reid's 'rents." Val said and Aubrey looked back at her with a raised brow.
"Why not?" She asked.
Val grinned. "Just trust me, you want to open it now. It's actually for you and Reid."
"Oh god." Aubrey said hanging her head with a shake.
Reid smirked. "Open it Sweets."
Aubrey sighed dramatically pulling the neatly placed sheets of tissue from the bag and she peeked inside the bag, nothing was actually wrapped so she didn't have to pull anything out. A blush spread across her cheeks and she brought her face away from the bag. "Val." She said shaking her head.
Val grinned. "What? I figured you two are always all over each other, why not make it fun."
"I can already tell by the blush, you've gotten something completely raunchy." Reid smirked. "I love it."
"Fuzzy black handcuffs, couple different kinds of lube, flavored..."
"Ok let's just stuff this in the back of Reid's closet." Aubrey interrupted Val before she could continue. She stuffed the tissue back in the bag and stuck it on the floor.
"Perfect, we'll save it for a rainy day. Sweets you are a genius!" Reid said making her blush even brighter.
Val and Reid laughed.
Garwin home:
As they pulled up outside Reid's place Aubrey opened the glove compartment and pulled out an long thin white envelope and passed it back to Val. "Sorry it's not decorated, things sort of came up yesterday."
"That's ok." Val said examining the envelope curiously. She turned it over and ripped the seal open. As she pulled the contents out Reid looked at Aubrey questioningly. Aubrey grinned and mouthed a countdown from five. When she hit one Val squealed excitedly. "A ticket? Are you serious?" Val asked leaning forward through the two front seats looking at Aubrey.
"I was going to just have Kat tell you, but I figured I'd surprise both of you. She doesn't know about the ticket, so you might want to send it with your next letter." Val hugged Aubrey enthusiastically.
"You are the best friend I have ever had!" Aubrey laughed.
"Well then I should give myself a pat on the back." She remarked jokingly.
"Are you two going to kiss? Cause if not we should go inside." Reid said. Aubrey looked around Val at Reid with a raised eyebrow and he smirked.
"Perve."
"Lovable though." Reid said getting out of the car. Aubrey and Val got out next, Aubrey making her way to her trunk. She pulled her duffel out stuffing Val's gift inside and then closed her trunk.
"So do you want to tell me what happened?" Val questioned as the girls followed Reid in to the front door.
Aubrey sighed. "Short version. Found a letter, my mom left me in her stuff, my dad isn't my dad, Nicky's my dad and early this morning my father came to drag me home and I lost it."
Val looked at her shocked as they stood in the foyer of the Garwin home. "So?"
"Let's put it this way, I told my father if he had problems with me having a relationship with Reid, and now Nicky that he could just forget I exist."
"Wow." Val murmured. "I'm sorry."
"Eh, don't be it's not your fault my father didn't tell me what my mother told him to. I'll explain it better some other time I just don't want to talk about it." Aubrey said. Reid put his arm around her waist and they walked towards the basement.
"You know Reid I might have to borrow your basement while Kat's here." Val said as they made their way down the stairs.
"Why?" Reid asked.
Val smirked as Aubrey turned her head and grinned at her. "Having a basement apartment is incredibly kinky. You could...oh tie someone to a bed and they could yell and bag and plead and yet no one can hear them."
Reid turned his head as Aubrey dropped her duffel on the couch. "Only if I can watch." Reid replied jokingly
"Why you need pointers?" Val joked back.
"No I know how to satisfy my girl, I figured I could give you some pointers." Reid retorted playfully.
Val scoffed. "Please." She said smugly. "I've been handling my girl since long before you got your hand in Aubrey's panties."
"Val!" Aubrey screeched from Reid's room, having left to put her duffel bag away, and had obviously been keeping in intent ear on the conversation.
"What?" Val asked innocently as Aubrey came back out her cheeks flushed and her eyes locked on Val.
"I told you that in private." Aubrey hissed at her.
Val grinned. "Well it happened in private, but you still told me."
Aubrey shook her head sitting down on the couch and burying her face in one of the throw pillows. Reid grinned sitting down next to her, Val rolled her eyes and started exploring, walking towards the small kitchen. "It's ok Sweets."
"You two love to embarrass me don't you." Aubrey asked lifting her face away from the pillow.
Reid grinned. "Nah it usually just works out that way." He said kissing along her shoulder to her neck and he turned her head to face him so he could kiss her lips.
"Would you two stop sucking face, let's do something." Val said coming back in to the living room.
Aubrey grinned at Reid. "Reid wants to make an anatomically correct snow woman."
Val smirked. "Of course he does."
"Well he wanted to make an anatomically correct snowman, but it'll be easier to explain a snow woman to his parents." Aubrey giggled as Reid helped her up from the couch.
"Did you borrow those jeans from me?" Val asked looking at Aubrey.
Aubrey shook her head. "Their Reid's."
"And they fit?" Val asked curiously
"They're old." Reid lied kissing Aubrey's temple. "We going outside or what?"
"Yeah." Aubrey took his hand all three headed out to the backyard.
Later:
"Oh my god Reid stop." Aubrey scolded playfully knocking the snow out of his hand.
Reid laughed. "What?" He replied.
"Is that what you want in a woman, big breasts? Jesus Reid." Aubrey said throwing a small ball of snow at him playfully. Reid blocked the attack with his arm and then looked at her smirking. Aubrey started to back up. "No, Reid." She managed to get out before he started after her, Aubrey turned around and ran screeching with joyous laughter.
Val was off in the wooded acreage of the Garwin property, had been since Kat had called ten minutes prier. Aubrey ran around a tree and dodged a snowball and then looked around. She didn't see Reid.
"Looking for me?" Aubrey turned just in time for Reid to grab her and they both fell into the soft snow. Aubrey was giggling like mad, after Reid had landed on top of her.
"This snow is so cold." Aubrey said after her giggle fit had calmed.
Reid laughed. "Really, I'm warm...in all the right places." He smirked down at her.
"Reid." Aubrey had meant for her voice to be steady, maybe even a little stern, but instead it was a breathy light plea. Reid bent his head kissing her fervently, his teeth nipping at her bottom lip, before his tongue flicked over it and her mouth opened in compliance.
They stayed like that for a few moments, kissing in the snow. The melting snow around her heated clothing melted and seeping in to Aubrey's clothes. "And just to clarify." Reid said lightly his breathing a bit uneven as he broke slightly from her lips, but didn't pull away. "I love your breasts the way they are."
Aubrey giggled breathlessly before he pressed his lips upon hers once again.
"Reid!"
Reid broke their kiss with a grunt of annoyance. "What?" He yelled over his shoulder. Aubrey lifted her head and looked over his shoulder at Melinda Garwin standing at the double doors leading out to the back yard.
Melinda was grinning. Aubrey waved and laughed. "Hi!" She giggled.
"Reid, Tyler's here. And would you get off the poor girl before you suffocate her." Melinda hollered out to them.
"What a sweet death that would be." Aubrey muttered softly to Reid with a smirk. Reid kissed her again quickly with a light chuckle and then stood helping her up. "I'll go get Val, meet you inside." Aubrey said kindly to Reid.
He nodded. "You sure, I don't want you out in the woods alone?"
Aubrey grinned. "Trust me, whatever Val's doing you don't want to know."
"Maybe I do."
"You really are a pervert. Go inside we'll be in shortly."
"Fine." Reid pouted jokingly and kissed her again.
They split up and Aubrey made her way in to the wooded area of the Garwin estate to find Val. "Val!" She heard so leaves and twigs rustling a little ways away. "Val!" She walked towards the sounds and when she found Val, she gasped turning around. "Jesus Val!"
Val laughed breathlessly. "Babe I gotta go...ya I love you to." Aubrey heard some more movements. "Jesus Aubs you couldn't wait like five more minutes, I was about to..."
"I get the picture, sorry. Next time I'll be sure to leave you out here as it's getting dark, in a wooded area you don't know."
"How do you know you wont get lost?" Val replied with a smirked stepping up next to Aubrey rubbing snow between her hands and then replacing her black gloves.
"Cause I've been back here before."
"Jesus you and Reid have been all over." Val teased.
Aubrey rolled her eyes. "Oh don't start with me." She replied jokingly. The girls headed in to the house and met up with Reid and Tyler, dinner came about an hour later and then the teens confined themselves to Reid's basement for the remainder of the evening.
AN: Ok so I was having a little trouble with this chapter, so I hope it doesn't suck. It probably does but oh well, I hope at least that you liked it a little. Anyways there's more to come, and what would life be like if Aubrey and Val didn't steer a little trouble, that'll be coming in the not to distant future, plus some Aubrey/Nicky stuff and some more Reid/Aubrey as usual. Ok and I have posted lots of stuff to my page so check it out.
