Chapter 3: Date Night
-At Lars's House-
It had been a few days since Lars and Reggie had spent the day together. Over the past few days Lars had been taking care of Twister. There was a few times that his fever had gotten up but it would go back down. Reggie would come over to help Lars take care of Twister. Reggie could not believe that Lars would not let his mom or dad help take care of his brothers. Lars's mom and dad were at work on this day. Lars and Reggie were in Lars's room. He told her that he had a gift for her. Reggie was setting on the bed and Lars had his back to her. He turned around and handed her a long box.
"What is this for?" She asked.
"It's for helping me take care of Twis." Lars said and sat down next to her on his bed. She opened the long box and there was a bracelet with a ruby birthstone. Reggie looked at it with wide eyes and brought a hand up to her chest. She looked at Lars and said.
"You didn't have to get this for me."
"Yes I did." Lars leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
"When did you get this?" She asked knowing that Lars had been by his brother's side for the past few days.
"I have had it for a while." He admitted.
"You have had this? For how long?" Reggie looked at him. Lars took the box from her and got the bracelet out. With his hand he grabbed her wrist very gently and put it on her.
"I have had it for a few…years" He said in a low voice. Reggie looked at the bracelet and then back up to Lars.
"A few years."
"Yea."
Reggie could not believe that Lars would buy her something and keep it for years. She looked at him and smiled. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Well I think that is very sweet." She said looking at the bracelet.
"So do you want to go out on a date with me tomorrow night?" Lars asked.
"I would love to." Reggie said standing up and leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Lars smiled and looked up at her and smiled. Lars got up and walked into Twister's room. He walked over to Twister's bed where he was sleepy. Lars put the back of his hand on Twister's forehead and he could feel that it was little warm but he was better now. Lars smiled a seen smiled. He turned and found Reggie in Twister's door way. She was smiling at him.
"What?" he asked her.
"You do love your brother, don't you." Lars smiled and walked over to her.
"Yes I do." Lars smiled and the two walked into the living room. Reggie walked over to the door and stood there. Lars stood in front of her. Lars's leaned down and kissed Reggie. Reggie kissed him back. After the kiss broke Reggie turned and walked out the door. Lars closed the door and walked back into his brother's room. There he found Twister setting up in bed.
"Hey you, do you feel any better?" Lars asked him.
"Yea really do." Twister smiling at his brother.
"Good." Lars said and sat down on the bed.
"Twis I need to ask you something." Twister looked at his brother with an odd look.
"What is it?" Lars looked down at his hand and then glanced up.
"I was thinking of…"
-At the Shore Shack-
Reggie walked in and took a set at the bar. Sam and Otto were already setting there.
"Well how is Twister?" Sam asked. Otto looked at them while taking a bite of his food.
"He is doing a lot better. Lars would not let anyone take care of him only him." Reggie said as Ray handed her a drink.
"I can't believe that Lars took care of him." Otto said before taking a drink.
"You should have seen him; he was checking on his fever and was giving him medicine." Reggie said taking the cup from her father.
"Oh by the way I have a date with Lars tomorrow night." Reggie said which made Otto look at her.
"No you are not." He said. Reggie looked at him and so did Ray.
"Otto you can't tell your sister what to do." Ray told his son.
"But…" Otto started.
"No Otto!"
"But it is Lars; he bullied us and called us names." Otto yelled out. Reggie rolled her eyes at him and took a drink.
-The Next Day-
-At the Reggie's-
Reggie was setting on her bed and was thinking of what she was going to wear on her date with Lars. She got up and walked to her closet and looked inside. She grabbed a dark green tight dress then she grabbed her dark green high heels. Once they were on she walked over to her dressing table and opened her jewelry box and got out her emerald jewelry. She put on her earrings and necklace. She put her hair up in a bun. She got up and grabbed her dark green purse.
She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She looked good. She walked out of her room and then down the stairs. She got to the bottom and looked over and saw Otto standing in front of the kitchen with his mouth open. Ray walked out and looked at her.
"What?" She asked
"I don't know if you look good or…" Ray started. There was a knock at the front door. Reggie walked over and opened it. There was Lars wearing black boots, black pants and a black leather jacket with a dark blue shirt. Lars looked at Reggie and smiled.
"You look wonderful." He said smiling down at her.
"I will be home at ten okay." Reggie said and waved at her brother and father. They watched as she shut the door and walked to Lars's truck. They got in and drove away.
-With Lars and Reggie-
They went to a nice place to eat. Once they have eaten and Lars paid the bill they got in the truck. Reggie asked Lars were they were going the only thing she got was a smile. They pulled up to the beach and got out. Reggie took of her heels and left them in the truck. They began to walk the beach. They walked in the sun setting light. Lars grabbed Reggie's hand as they walked. Reggie looked at Lars and smiled at him.
"When did you first fall for me?" Lars asked her.
"Well I fell for you when you helped us with the sand castle." Reggie said making Lars look at her. Lars smiled and looked ahead.
-With Otto and Twister and Sam-
"I hate the idea of them being together." Otto said setting on the steps of Twisters house.
"Well I like the idea of them being together." Otto looked at Twister who was standing in front of him.
"How could you say that Twis?" Otto asked him standing up. Twister looked at him and smiled.
"Because they are happy together and Lars is a lot nicer and Reggie is really happy." Twister said. Sam who was setting blow them stood up and turned around and said.
"I think Twis is right." Otto looked at Sam.
"Reggie is a lot happier and Lars is a lot of nicer than he was before." Otto stood up and moved past them and walked down the steps.
"Well I would not get use to them being together." Otto said with an evil smile.
"What do you mean by that Otto?" Twister asked him. Otto smiled and walked off. Twister and Sam watched Otto walk into his house.
-With Lars and Reggie-
"So when did you fall for me?" Reggie asked.
"Well I think it was…"
Reggie's cell phone began to ring. She rolled her eyes and looked at it. She rolled her eyes again once she saw who was calling.
"It's Otto. WHAT?!" She yelled at her brother.
"Oh my god, are you sure." Lars heard Reggie said. He saw her eyes get wide.
"Okay bye."
"What did he want?" Lars asked her.
"I got to go home something is wrong with my dad." Reggie said in a worried voice.
"Okay I'll get you home; everything is going to be okay." Lars put his hands on both of Reggie's shoulders.
Lars and Reggie ran back to the truck. Lars started the truck and drove off. He raced to Reggie's house. Reggie was in her seat looking down at her hands.
"Don't worry he is okay." Lars said while moving his hand over to Reggie's and taking her hand into his. Lars pulled the truck into Reggie's driveway and Reggie jumped out. She told Lars that she would see him tomorrow. She ran into the house and saw Ray setting on the couch. Ray jumped up and ran over to Reggie.
"Reggie is everything okay?" He asked.
"You okay." She yelled.
"Yea I'm fine. Is something wrong? Why are you home from your date so early?" He asked her just then Otto walked down the stairs. Both Ray and Reggie looked at him.
"What?" He asked.
"You called me and told me that the ambulance was here and they were taking dad to the hospital!" Reggie yelled at her brother.
"Did I say that?" Otto titled his head and looked up.
"YES YOU DID!" Reggie was really yelling now.
"Otto you call Reggie and told her that something was wrong with me?!" Ray put his hands on his hips and walked over to Otto.
"Why would you do that?" He asked his son.
"Because she shouldn't be out with Lars." Otto said acting like he did nothing wrong. Reggie started to walk over to Otto but was stopped by Ray.
"Reggie go upstairs or go and find Lars and enjoy the rest of what is left of your date." Ray said looking at her.
"No she is staying here." Otto said.
"We need to talk Otto." Ray said to his son in a very unhappy voice. Reggie walked out the door and over to Lars's house. Otto went to follow but the door was closed in front of him. He looked up at his dad. Otto could tell that Ray was not happy at all.
"How could you do that Otto? Calling your sister and telling her something like that." He said well folding his arms.
"She is not allowed to date him." Otto said.
"Otto you do not get to tell your sister who she can date or what she can do, you are her little brother and not her father." Ray said looking down at his son.
"Well…"
"Well nothing. When she gets back you will say that you are sorry and that you will not do it again. And by the way you are grounded for four months."
"What!"
"You heard me Otto." Ray said and walked away.
-With Reggie-
Reggie walked over to Lars who was getting something out of his truck. Lars looked over and saw Reggie walking toward him. He narrowed his brows and titled his head.
"What are you doing over here? What was wrong with your father?" Lars asked shutting the truck door.
"Nothing is wrong with him. It was Otto!" Lars looked at her with an odd look.
"What?" He asked.
"Otto called me to sabotage our date." Reggie said placing her hands on her hips. Lars folded his arms.
"I cannot believe he would do that." Lars said as he walked over to Reggie. Reggie took her hands of her hips and Lars unfolded his arms. Lars wrapped his arms around Reggie's waist and Reggie wrapped her arms around Lars's neck.
"Well Dad is talking to him right now. " Reggie said looking into Lars's brown eyes.
"Good." Lars said looking into Reggie's brown eyes.
Lars leaned his head down and kissed Reggie. Reggie kissed Lars back. They broke the kiss and hugged each other. Reggie said her goodnight and left Lars's arms. Lars watched as Reggie walked over to her house and walked inside. Lars smiled and turned and walked up the stairs to his house. He opened that front door to his home. Lars was walking to his room he saw a light on in Twister's room. Lars knocked on the door as he opened it. Twister was setting up in bed reading a book.
"What are you reading?" Lars asked as he walked in and sat down on the bed.
"The White Queen." Twister said and looked up at his brother.
"Oh okay." Lars looked away and was about to get up but Twister stopped him.
"What is wrong?" Twister asked.
"Otto called Reggie and told her that something was wrong with her father, but there is nothing wrong with him. (Lars's held up his hands) He just did that to ruin mine and Reggie's date." Twister sat his book down and looked at Lars.
"I can't believe that he would do that." Lars looked at his brother.
"Well he did. I mean is Reggie and I never meant to be together?" Lars asked looking down at his hands.
"I think that you and Reggie are meant to be together and I will talk to Otto about it." Lars looked at his brother and smiled. He leaned over and kissed his brother on the forehead. Lars got up and walked out of the room. Twister smiled at him and went back to his book.
