A/N- Hey guys! Here's the next chapter. Just to let you know I'm almost down with writing this story by hand. It looks like it's going to be about 15 or 16 chapters. Enjoy!

During the week Dena fell into a pattern. She'd wake up early and run, take a shower, go to class, go to swim practice, hang out with everyone, then go to the bed. Day after day she held onto her routine, not minding the monotony of her days. When she saw Reid she tried to get more details about Friday, but he would just smile and change the subject. In all honesty, it was starting to annoy Dena. When Friday came Dena held to her schedule but started getting ready for this mysterious meeting with the blonde son of Ipswich. Dena dried her hair straight and added a few curls sporadically through her hair. Dena found a pair of dark wash jeans and a white tank top under a red knitted hoodie. She found some red sandals before digging through her jewelry box to find a gold necklace with a small whale tail pendant.
At 8 o'clock Reid was at Dena's door. Dena quickly answered his knock. Reid was leaning on the door frame giving Dena his trade mark smirk. "Ready?"
"Only if I get to find out where we're going or what we're doing." Dena replied.
"Alright, we'll be here for a while then." Reid walked past Dena into the room. He sat down on the bed and fell back onto the head board. Dena was silent for a bit before groaning and turning to Reid.
"Fine! Surprise me!" She exclaimed. Reid got up from the bed, took Dena's hand and led her down the hall. "Do you even have a car here? I've only seen you drive Tyler's hummer."
"Ya, I have an Impala, which we're taking tonight." Sure enough Reid led her into the back parking lot where a midnight black Impala was sitting in the far back corner. Dena's mouth fell open as her eyes roamed over the sleek black curves of the car. "I'm guessing you like it."
"I love older, classic cars. Old mustangs, not like Caleb's, and old Chevy's. One of my friends would always restore older cars. He had a Monte Carlo and a Bel Air, but sold them both." Dena said. She traced her hand over the hood to her door. She slid into the leather seats and looked over the inside. "It may look nice, but how does it run?"
Reid answered with a cocky grin and turned the key. The car immediately roared to like. The smile on Dena's face just got larger as she listened to the engine. Reid pulled out of the school parking lot and onto the main road. Dena shifted in the seat and let out a happy scream as Reid pushed the car past the 110 mph mark. As they started getting closer to the main town Reid slowed down and looked over at Dena. "So, does it run well?"
"Hell yes!" Dena smiled. "Now do I get to know where we're going?"
"I thought we would go play some pool since you didn't get to play last week."
"Hm… I think I can hand that."
Reid pulled into Nicky's and parked. Dena got out and met Reid behind the car. They walked in and found an empty table. Reid ordered some drinks as Dena racked up all the balls. She picked out a pool stick and then waited for Reid to come back. "Do you want to break?"
"Um… sure?" Dena said hesitantly.
"I thought you said you could play."
"I know the basics, but I'm still pretty bad. I haven't tried to play in a while anyways." Reid shook his head and walked over to Dena. He came up behind her and wrapped himself around her. He moved her hands so she was holding the queue and then showed her ho to move the stick correctly. The while time he was telling her what to do, his warm breath rolled over the hairs on her neck making her shiver. Her shiver reached her arms as she hit the ball. The white ball spun to the side and Dena looked over at Reid to see what looked like fire in his eyes. Reid smiled and nodded towards the table. The queue ball had hit the side of the table and broke up the other balls.
"Good job." Reid whispered in her ear, making Dena shiver again. He slowly pealed himself away from Dena so he could make his won shot.
Dena and Reid continued playing. Occasionally some impossible shot would be accomplished. Every time Dena would try and see if Reid's eyes were different Reid would either just smile or kiss her cheek. A couple hours later and a couple games later Dena was standing, watching Reid make a shot. Her eyes were slowly falling shit as her hips rocked back and forth to the song that was playing. "You tired?" Dena's eyes snapped open to see Reid standing in front of her.
"A bit." Dena yawned.
"That looks more than just a bit. I'll finish the game and we can go." Reid said. He quickly followed through with his statement and finished the game. He finished the last of his soda before leading Dena out to the car. The engine was slowly putting Dena to sleep as they made their way back to the dorms.
"I like your eyes. Sometimes they're normal and sometimes their black with red, fire like rims. Almost like a witch." Dena muttered. She snuggled into the seat and her hands found Reid's right hand.
When Reid parked in the back parking lot of Spencer's dorms he looked over at Dena and gently picked her up. He wasn't going to deny it when her comment actually unnerved him. Sure he had used in public before, but no one had ever seen his eyes… or at least he assumed no one had since they hadn't been confronted. He walked to the dorms and used his power to open the doors, including the one to Dena's dorm room. He gently put her down on her bed and covered her up. Reid used his powers to teleport himself to his own room. Tyler was, of course, already asleep so Reid quickly got ready and also fell asleep.
The next morning Dena woke up to find herself in her bed with the covers over her. She gingerly stretched out all her twisted muscles and got up from her bed. She groaned when she saw that she was in the same clothes as last night. This was quickly becoming a bad habit. She quickly threw her hair up and changed into flannel pants and a simple white tank top. She quickly left her room and to go find Reid and Tyler's room. She stopped though when she heard the two guys talking.
"I think she knows or at least has an idea." Reid said.
"What do you mean she knows? She knows about us? About the power?" Tyler asked. There was a slight pause before he continued. "Caleb's going to kill you if she does know. What even makes you think that she knows?"
"She fell asleep on the way back last night and said she liked my eyes and how they changed to black with red rims." Reid explained.
"Just act normal like nothing has happened. You're just going to have to be careful and stop using in public!"
"Thank you Caleb…" Silence fell over the oom and Dena heard the two occupants shuffling around. She took a quick breath as everything she heard finally sunk in. Pushing the new realizations away she finished walking to the door and knocked. Tyler answered the door and smiled at Dena.
"Hey! Reid's around here somewhere…"
"I'm right here Simms. Our room isn't all that big." Reid joked. Tyler shook his head and excused himself into the bathroom.
"I wanted to say sorry for falling asleep last night. I had woken up early again and everything just caught up to me last night."
"It's alright."
"I just feel bad about it though…"
"How about to make it up to me by going out with me again tomorrow night? We won't stay out late enough so you won't fall asleep."
"Ok, I'll try and get enough sleep then." Dena joked.
"See you tomorrow." Reid smiled.
"Till tomorrow." Dena whispered. Feeling bold she reached her arm up and around Reid's neck forcing his head lower. She leaned up and placed a quick kiss on his lips before letting him go and walking away.
