Chapter 2: High stakes Pool
Once again the characters belong to the Covenant and everything, but I'd buy Reid, if only I could...
Sauntering past him, I grabbed a stick and walked over to the table; to make my first shot. I didn't it realize at first but Reid stood behind me. "Nice shot." He commented smirking, making me jump. That it was. I thought to myself sporting my very own smile. I'd sunk two solids. Now was I ever happy with what I chose to wear, which mind you was not a skirt. I mean with all this leaning over the tables. I was wearing nice form-fitting jeans and a gold tank-top, with a maroon sweater over it. I'd still been adjusting to the New England weather. It was March but still maintained that chill from Winter.
I walked over to the other side of the table and leaned slowly over, pretending I was fully concentrating on the game; but really? I'd been trying to figure out if my intincts were right. Yup, definitely checking me out. I thought. A grin spread over my face. Reid had moved to, "get a better look of the game" as I'd stepped up to take my other shot. "We have any stakes on this game?" I asked smirking up at him feeling a bit brazen.
He chuckled with a tilt of his head saying "Well, I suppose we could."
"And they are?" I asked taking a step closer to him.
"Alright, When I win. You're coming with me to my place." He said grinning. Or so he thinks I thought with a laugh and a shake of my head as I said "yeah, yeah, whatever. When I win, you have to dance with me." I decided. Playing it coy. I thought thinking about what he'd do if he lost. It doesn't mean I'm not interested, but doesn't mean I am. I finished.
(During the game)
Everyone at the table had moved over here to watch the game by now. "Well, well, well, looks like someone can go up against you with a slight chance at winning," Tyler said with a grin.
"Shut up, dude." Growled Reid, turning to take his shot. His show of annoyance caused a smirk to appear on my face. He was really in it to win it. Here's how it was lined up; I had two more shots one was a solid the other was, you guessed it the eight ball. My solid was in front of one of Reid's striped. So I couldn't move it without touching his.
Reid had a clear open shot with his striped ball, only if he moved it so it wasn't blocking mine anymore, but he didn't take it. Instead he knocked mine further into the middle of the table. I sighed now knowing all he had to do was make a combo shot, and then get rid of the eight ball.
"Looks like there's no one that can beat me." He said cockily smirking, after making that tricky as hell combo shot. I glared at him through my eyelashes, and thought What the hell? I knew he'd cheated, but I'd deal with that after... He then made the eight ball; the thud was the sound of the bet finally coming into play.
"Ok." I sighed out.
"Ok what?" Reid asked rubbing my face in it.
"Ok, you won." I huffed rolling my eyes. He chuckled and casually walked over to me. "Alright, now that the games over, let's go Caleb." Sarah said dragging him over to the dance floor.
"You know what? I want to dance too. C'mon Pouge." Kate said dragging him too.
"Feel like another round?" Tyler asked looking over my shoulder. There was Reid. He nodded saying "Only if you break, and set up." Tyler chuckled out the word "lazy." and started to set up a different table.
"So, looks like I won," Reid said in my ear. He suddenly moved himself closer in. "You know what that means." He whispered, with the feel of his lips at my ear. I'm surprised my knees didn't give out.
"Yo! Garwin, Stop trying to get the new girl in bed with you and get over here so I can really kick your ass without your friends." We looked in the Direction of the voice and sure enough there was Aaron. Reid had started forward but I grabbed his arm and argued, "Reid don't."
"Don't worry about it." Was his only response before heading forward yet again.
Tyler flew past me and grabbed Reid shoulders, saying "Reid, no don't you remember what happened last time?" Reid stopped so suddenly that Tyler almost fell Reid slowly turned around and walked out the back looking murderous. Soon enough, all three guys followed in suit.
Sarah and Kate came up to me. "Well, you met the sons of Ipswich." Kate said. "At their best and worst." Sarah finished. "Wait, the sons of Ipswich?" I asked playing dumb.
"Their descendants from the 5 families that started this place like around the witch trials and things." Sarah said.
"Yeah, and apparently they have magical powers." Kate said as though making fun of it, but Sarah's eyes widened slightly as Kate laughed hysterically. This interaction told me all I needed to know.
The guys came back in, with Reid looking a little less angry, but still angry none the less. "I think I've had enough excitement for one night, you guys ready?" Caleb asked after he and all the other guys walked over to us. Kate, Sarah, Pouge, and Caleb left, leaving Reid, Tyler, and myself.
"So much for that other round, huh baby boy?" Reid asked Tyler smirking. Tyler scowled at the nickname, but answered "yeah, I'm ready to leave too."
"And you're my ride." Reid started.
"Unless... Hey Kayla? how'd you get here?"
"Uh... my Honda." I said walking out the front door to the parking lot.
"Never mind, I'll catch a ride with Kayla." Reid called. Tyler walked to his black hummed chuckling and shaking his head.
"So, much for your dorm, huh?" I asked turning the key.
He chuckled and said, "Oh, you'll be coming to my dorm, eventually."
"Yeah, Ok" I responded. "So why not get a ride with Tyler?" I asked shooting him a glance.
"Would you believe it if I said it was my love for Hondas?" He asked "plus, I assumed we were both heading the same way." He finished.
"You know what assuming does, right?" I asked him chuckling.
