Changes
Disclaimer: Casey is all mine. Sadly that's all I got.
After we got to our dorms we started pulling out our wardrobes. "So what is Nicky's?" I asked Casey.
"It's a local bar that a lot of Spencer kids like to hang out at. That's what Tyler said anyway."
"Well if Tyler said it then it must be right and perfect in your eyes." I said teasing Casey.
Casey blushed and responded lamely, "Shut up. And besides since Reid is going I thought you would want to go too. What do you think?" She asked holding up an outfit.
I shook my head and replied, "It's too feminine and that shade of red clashes with the blue in your hair." Casey nodded in agreement after looking at it and I continued talking. "And I never said I didn't want to go." I held up and outfit for Casey to examine and she accepted it.
"Hey I'm going to go shower." Casey said. I changed and helped Casey pick out an ensemble for the night. I nodded letting her know I heard her. Someone knockedon our door. I looked at the door wondering who would be knocking on our door since Casey didn't have to knock and we really didn't know anyone else. The person shouted on the other side of the door, "It's Kate." A look of realization crossed my face and I shouted, "Come on in." Kate opened the door in a white lacy tank top and a denim mini skirt.
"Well don't you look chic." I complemented Kate.
"Thank you. That outfit looks good on you." She said. I was wearing a black t-shirt with two roses on it and dark blue low-rise jeans with my signature gloves that were cut off at the knuckles.
"Where's Casey?" She asked after looking around our room.
"I'm here." Casey said closing our door after entering.
"You look hot." I said after taking her apparel in. Casey was wearing a plain thin-strapped baby blue tank top with black jeans.
"I concur." Kate said.
"I definitely like you. You actually have a vocabulary." I said as I fixed my hair and put on a light amount of makeup. Casey nodded in agreement.
"Thank you. It's good to know you actually know what the word means."
"Please Hermione knows everything. At our old school there were about a hundred kids in our class and Hermione kicked all their asses when it came to grades." Casey said with confidence in her voice about me.
"Really. Did you kick their asses at anything else 'Mione?" She asked.
"Not really." I said.
"What she means is that our old school only had one sport and it is the one sport that she sucks at." Casey explained.
"Well we better get going." I said looking at the time. "Who's car are we taking?"
"I don't have my car here." Kate said.
"Neither do I. Look's like we're taking your Ferrari 'Mione."
"That's yours?" Kate pondered. I nodded. "Wow she's a beauty."
"She better be. 'Mione has spent days on that thing." I smacked Casey playfully before heading out to my Ferrari. After we got in I turned the car on to hear My Chemical Romance blasting. I turned the music down so I could hear Kate give me directions. We got to Nicky's and right away found a table.
"I really like it here." I said looking around. "They don't by any chance have a pool table here do they?" I asked Kate knowing if she said yes this would be the place I was at almost everyday.
"Yeah they have a couple on the other side of the bar."
"I'll be back." I said and calmly walked over to the pool tables noticing Reid and Tyler were there. They didn't realize I was there and I was content to just watch for a bit. Reid had just made a fantastic shot but they still didn't notice me so I decided to make my presence known.
"Nice shot." I complemented and was satisfied when Tyler jumped in surprise but Reid merely said, "Hey. What's up?"
I shot him a curious look but responded nonetheless, "Nothing."
"You play?" Tyler asked noticing my wanting look towards the tables.
"I used to. I don't know how good I'd be if I attempted it now." Tyler threw me his stick and said, "You can take my place. Where's Casey?" I gestured to where her and Kate were sitting and Tyler headed in that direction.
"So you said you use too. What made you stop?" Reid asked never taking his eyes off the table.
I shrugged. "I don't know. I went to a boarding school in England and they didn't have pool tables there and when I came back to my neighborhood the bar around the street had closed down so I guess I just stopped playing."
"Well we're going to find out how good you are because I just beat Tyler."
I took my gaze off of Reid and turned it back towards the table and indeed all the solids and the eight ball were gone.
"Newcomer breaks." Reid stated as he set up the balls.
"Okay." I said hoping he didn't hear the nervousness in my voice. I stepped up the table and quickly hit the cue ball into the awaiting balls. I sunk two solids and looked at the possibilities.
"Well, well, well."
"What?"
"And you said you weren't good. You're already up two balls and that was only your first shot."
"I never said I wasn't good just that I hadn't played in a while." I retorted taking a difficult shot and sinking it.
"Anything else you haven't played in a while?"
"Volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, and softball. I also mingled in girls' hockey." I answered rattling off the sports in my head.
"Wow."
"Yep." I said as I took a shot. "Dammit." I muttered as I missed.
"Looks like it's my turn." Reid said with a playful smirk on. The type of smirk he wore was the kind that was a big turn on for me. I don't know why they just were. Reid took a couple of shots and I realized he was really good.
"Where did you learn to play?" I inquired.
"I taught myself. My parents were always away and still are and we have a couple pool tables in our house and I just entertained myself by playing."
I nodded knowing I was in a similar situation.
"What about you? You mentioned a bar around the street."
"My parents are big shot dentists. Some of the best in all of England, so naturally they were always away on conventions. I knew the woman who owned the bar do during the day when there wasn't much business I would go there and play for hours especially after I learned how to play the right way."
When we finished playing our game Casey and Tyler came over. I noted that Tyler had his arm around Casey and smirked at her. She saw and rolled her eyes.
"Hey baby boy. Looking for revenge?" Reid asked Tyler.
"Nah, not tonight but Casey and me were going to head back to the dorms so I was wondering if I could have my keys back."
I knew that Reid loved Tyler's Hummer probably more than Tyler loved it and would want to leave with. I decided since I didn't want Reid leave I would make a huge sacrifice. "Tyler you can take my car." I said throwing him my keys. "But fuck it up and I will hunt you down."
Casey gave me an all-knowing smile and I rolled my eyes in return.
Reid smirked at me and after they left said, "So you just can't get enough of me."
I decided to try and be ignorant and responded while setting up for another game, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Reid just looked at me. I grew uncomfortable under his gaze and irately said, "Are you going to break or want?"
Reid's smirk grew but listened to my hidden demand and started another game. After that he dropped the subject and after two more games we decided to head out noticing that it was getting late.
"C'mon." Reid said.
"C'mon what?" I asked.
"Well you obviously need a ride back to the dorms so c'mon let's go."
"Okay." I stated nervously.
About halfway through the car ride Reid said, "I'm surprised."
"About?" I said egging him on to continue.
"Most girls would have told me to slow down by now at least when it comes to driving." Reid said cockily
"I'm not most girls." I said stating the obvious.
"Clearly." Reid said finishing the ten-minute drive that should have been twenty.
"So this is your room?" Reid stated more than asked after walking me to my room.
"Yeah." I said lamely turning towards him. "Thanks for tonight I had a lot of fun."
Reid nodded and lent down towards me. We were about to kiss when the door was abruptly opened to reveal Casey. She saw us and the position we were in. "Oh my God. I am so sorry." She said closing the door as quickly as she had opened it.
"My God, I swear she ahs the worst timing." I said more to myself than to Reid.
"Yeah well it gives me an opportunity to see you again."
I nodded and lamely said, "I better head in."
"Yeah see you later Hermione."
"Bye Reid." I said about to open my door but swiftly turned around and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later." I said opening the door awaiting the questions I knew were to come with a smile on my face.
A.N. I know it's been like a week and a half since I've updated but as I said in my profile page basketball season is upon us and that's takes up a lot of time. Please review.
