A/N: Lookie! Lookie! A new update! Yay! Chuckles Show of hands how many expected me to disappear again? Nods Thought so.
Disclaimer: Lots of stuff doesn't belong to me. So, who does it belong to? The wonderful AAR and many others. Stuff that does belong to me includes the following; Taber, Angel, the plot, and all other aforementioned characters. Use of my stuff with out my permission will result in falling victim to my admittedly homicidal tendencies. (A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.)
Awareness
Ring. God damn. Ring. I fumbled on my nightstand for my cell. I grabbed it and flipped it open. "Hullo?" I mumbled in greeting.
"Hi Angel." I sat up rubbing my eyes.
"Oh, Hi Devin. What's up?"
"You sound awake." He commented.
"I stayed up late." I said. I blinked my eyes squinted at the clock and it came into focus; two in the after noon.
"Do you think you can handle meeting us for movies and dinner after?" He asked.
"Yeah sure." I paused. "When?"
"Three fifteen. Ok?"
"Ok. See you then."
"Bye." He hung up. I closed my phone. I swung my legs over the side of the bed. I stood up slowly and stretched.
"Come back to bed." Taber murmured.
"You try waking up and coming with me for a change." I challenged. He rolled out of bed.
"Fine." I smiled and fetched some clothes to wear.
"Angel?"
"Huh?"
"Are you coming?" I looked up at the credits rolling down the movie screen. Huh? Had I fallen asleep? I tried to clear my head. Last I remembered I was getting dressed.
"Uh… yeah." I stood up and followed Taber out of the theater to the lobby where my friends were waiting. Amare giggled at me when she saw me. She led me away slightly.
"Might want to cover that up, Angel." She suggested.
"Cover what up?" I asked. She giggled again.
"The hickey on your neck." I touched my neck finding a large sore spot. When had he put that there?
"Oh." I tried to look embarrassed. I went into the bathroom. The mark was too large to cover with make up.
Later
"So, you promised me details." Lynx said as we sat on the roof of Taber's house.
We had come up here to watch the meteor shower. Just the two of us as Lynx was rapidly becoming my best friend.
"About what?" I asked absently rubbing my neck. She cast me an ironic look.
"Don't kid. You know what I'm talking about."
"No. I don't."
"Yes you do. You're the one who did it."
"I don't know what you're talking about!" I said beginning to get angry.
"I'm talking about you having sex with Taber. I want details."
"I never had sex with Taber."
"Don't lie, Angel, you're not very good at it."
"I'm not lying."
"You had sex with Taber. You told me so yourself." Blood on my sheets. Black outs. What he said. My neck. I had sex with Taber.
Why couldn't I remember?
A/N: It's short. I know. I'm sorry. Forgive me. On the upside I have a lovely new Beta reader, Silenced Dreamer. I would like you all to thank her by going and reading her story. Review or Flame! ()
I'm still running my contest. To help ya'll out it's going to be from Taber's point of view and include some of the past. The person who submits the name we pick shall get a sneak peek at the sequel and a poem by me.
