"So what did you and Reid do after you left?" asked Theresa coming up to me. I was at my locker and I looked to see Alex and Tony coming up to me with Theresa at their side. Tony had his arm around Alex and had sung glasses on. He was high before school that's just like Tony.

"Nothing," I said as I took my English binder out.

"Nothing?" asked Alex looking at me weird. I closed my locker door and leaned up against it. "Yeah, nothing."

"I don't believe it," said Tony. "You and Reid haven't had sex yet? And you went on two dates. Maybe you don't have it in you anymore, Lace."

"No, don't you see," said Theresa placing her hand on my shoulder. "She really likes him."

"Lacey, likes a guy?" asked Tony and he laughed.

"It's not the end of the world, I can like someone," I said angrily.

"I'm just surprised because from what I hear from Caleb he's a player."

"Just drop it," I said and walked away from them. I heard Theresa catching up to me. "Why is he always picking on you?"

"Because I wouldn't sleep with him," I said. I turned to her and she looked at me shocked.

"What? When was this?" she asked. I looked around the hall and grabbed her arm and pulled her into the bathroom. I looked underneath the stalls and opened all the doors, good no one was in there just me and Theresa. "Ok, so what the hell was this?"

"It was the night Tony and Alex had their first huge fight. He came to me for some advice and while he was there he was high and not in a mental state. He hit on me and I told him no. Alex loves him and it wouldn't be right. I've known Tony since we were in kindergarten; we all did, except for Alex who moved here in the middle school."

"You've never told Alex this?" Theresa asked sitting on the sink and taking out a cigarette.

"Of course not, do you think I'm stupid?"

We heard the door open and she threw the cigarette in the trash can. It was security. "Girls, class started. I suggest you get there."

"Yes mam," we said and walked past her to get to class. "I'll see you after school," said Theresa as she walked the opposite way. I found my way to Mr. Carlson's English class and sat down next to Alex and Tony was on the other side of her. I hope Theresa can keep her big mouth shut.

After school I met up with Theresa at my locker. "So Tyler has been text messaging me all day," said Theresa blushing and grinning ear to ear. I raised my eyebrows and smiled. I closed my locker door started down the hall to exit the school. We opened the doors and saw a black hummer parked outside with two guys in school uniforms leaning against it. And who were these two guys, Tyler Simms and Reid Garwin. I smirked at the sight and Theresa giggled and drug me over. Everyone was coming out of school staring at them or if they knew them they were saying hi.

"You know it's illegal to park in a fire lane," I said as we stopped in front of them.

"Relax," said Reid putting his cigarette out. "Its baby boys fault. If the sheriff comes down, I won't be in trouble." I laughed and he gave me a kiss on the lips. "Good to see you."

"Good to see you too," I whispered against his lips.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" asked Theresa.

"We decided to pay a visit to our favorite public girls," said Reid putting his arm around my waist.

"Ok, what do you want?" I asked.

"What?" asked Tyler all innocently.

Theresa and I looked at each other and then looked at Reid and Tyler. They looked at each other and smiled slyly. "Ok, we need dates for a dinner party Caleb's mom is having on Thursday night. It's the night Caleb's father died and we were hoping you could be our dinner guest."

"Awe, sure I'll go," said Theresa. Tyler gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"And what about you?" asked Reid.

"I don't know. I don't really do dinner parties, with parents, and nice dresses…"

"Lacey…"warned Theresa.

"Oh, ok, fine I'll do it." I looked at Reid. "But I'm only doing this for you, you owe me."

"Oh I can think of something to pay my debt," he said seductively. I rolled my eyes as he whispered in my ear for Theresa and Tyler not to hear. "I can make you meow like a cat in heat." I hit his chest and I felt my cheeks go hot. He laughed and it clicked. "Rent." He smiled a charming smile and raised his eyebrows. "I did my homework last night."

"I don't want to know," said Theresa.

"I can only imagine," said Tyler shaking his head. "You two need a ride?"

"Please," said Theresa. They opened the doors for us and I and Reid sat in the back while Theresa and Tyler were in the front.

"You know you don't have to go to the dinner party, they're not my thing either," said Reid placing his hand on my knee.

I turned to him smiling. "No it's cool. I was just teasing, it's just not my style to go to dinner parties and be all gushy and beautiful."

"You're already beautiful," he said and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"No way are you guys making out in my car," said Tyler as he looked through the rearview mirror. I laughed and leaned my head on Reid's shoulder. They dropped me off at my house first and Reid walked me up to my door.

"I'll talk to you later," I said and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"See ya babe," he whispered in my ear.

I opened the door to see my mom running up the stairs in her underwear and JT behind her. Reid's eyes went huge and they both looked at us.

"Good afternoon Ms. Valentine," said Reid. I hit him in the stomach and closed the door quickly. "Now I know where you get your beautiful body from. Your mom is hot."

"Shut it," I warned him. He put his hands offensively. "Or I'll just have to get my mom's hand cuffs and cuff you."

He wiggled his eyebrows and smirked. "Sounds like fun."

"What's going on?" yelled Theresa. We looked over to see Tyler and Theresa staring out the window towards us.

"Her moms just running around in her underwear!" yelled Reid. I hit him again. "You really need to stop hitting me."

"Oh really? What are you going to do about it?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out." He put his fingers up to his mouth and stuck his tongue out.

"Perv!" I yelled and hit him again. I cracked the door open to see that they were gone. I turned to Reid and smiled. "Bye."

He waved and walked down the stairs. I closed the door and decided to stay downstairs until my mom and JT were done. It must be good to be the sheriff. I smiled to myself and turned the TV on.

Later that night I was up in my room. I had my headphones on and I had my iPod on shuffle and it was playing 'Trouble' by Pink. I was dancing around my room and having some fun. I loved to dance. I danced to everything. When I turned around I saw my phone lighting up. I took my headphones off and jumped on my bed. I grabbed my phone, it was Theresa.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey, looks like we have to go dress shopping tomorrow," she said all excited.

"Whoopee," I said and turned around on my back.

"Aw come on, be happy about this. I can't believe Caleb's dad died. They said that he died a few years ago, heart attack or something."

"Wow, looks like Caleb and I have something in common, dead dads."

"Lacey, your dads not dead."

"To me he is." I stood up and went to the mirror to look at myself. Theresa got off the subject about fathers and went back onto dresses. I'd rather talk about dresses then fathers any day. I heard a noise at my window and I walked over to it slowly, totally blocking Theresa out. When I took a couple more steps towards the window I saw a head pop up. I screamed and held the phone next to chest.

"Lacey! Lacey! Are you ok?" asked Theresa. She was frantic.

I glared at Reid who was smiling. I put the phone back to my ear. "It's just a prowler at my window, I'll call you back." I hung up and walked over to my window. I opened it up and stood there.

"What are you doing?" I asked with my hands on my hips.

"I was in the neighborhood and felt like popping by," he said smiling at me. I couldn't help but love his smile. It was charming and so cute. The way his eyes twinkled when he smile was just heart stopping.

"Lacey!" yelled my mom coming down the hall.

"Shit. Come on." I grabbed him and put him in my closet.

"Lacey are you alright?" My mom opened the door with a gun in her hand.

"Mom I'm fine, just a cat climbing the tree and was at my window. It scared me."

My mom walked over to the window and looked out. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes mom. I'm going to bed now." I sat on my bed as my mom closed the window.

"I'm sorry about earlier sweetie," she said sitting next to me.

"It's ok mom. I'm just glad you're happy. I was just worried you weren't going to be happy since James…"

"Your father," she corrected me.

"James," I said persistently, "left. It was hard on both of us but I think it was harder on you mom. You deserve to be happy after everything. I love you mom."

"I love you," she hugged me tightly. "Get to bed. No more screaming."

I smirked and she left my room closing the door. I heard my closet door opening and I looked over to see Reid coming out with a big smile on his face. I got up and walked over. "You would of both got us killed by my mother if she would of caught you sneaking in." I hit his chest and he grabbed my arm and held it. I tried to let it free but he wouldn't let go. "Reid," I warned him glaring. He looked me up and down that's when I noticed what I was wearing, blue short shorts and a blue and white t-shirt that was small for me. He smirked at me and I smiled at him. He grabbed my other arm and bent his head towards me and kissed me lightly. I kissed him back and opened my mouth. We kissed passionately as he pushed me backwards my arms still in his hands. I felt the edge of my bed hit the back of my legs. He pushed me lightly onto the bed and he came down on my still holding my arms. He held them above my head and we kept kissing never breaking for a breath. We moved up to the head of my bed and he moved between my legs. He let go of my arms and his hands moved onto my legs. He rubbed his hand smoothly up my thigh. His other hand was going up my shirt. I moved my arms around his neck and held him close. He nibbled on my lip and sucked on it.

His phone started going off. I sighed and looked at him. He gave me an apologetic face and grabbed his phone from his pocket. He lied next to me and answered it. "What Caleb?"

I turned to my side and looked at him. "I'm with Lacey." He turned to face me and grimaced. "Right now? I'm kind of busy…"I started nibbling on his ear. "Can't this wait Caleb?" I rubbed my hand across his chest and down, down, down. "Caleb, this just isn't a good time…" He gulped. "Fine, I'll be there."

I backed off him and looked at him when he hung up. I gave him a pouty face. He put his hand behind my head. "Sorry babe," he said and kissed me lightly on the head. "We can have a quickie." He smirked at me.

"Sorry, I don't do quickies," I said and rolled off the bed. He got up and walked over to the window. I followed him. He opened it and sat on the ledge. I crossed my arms across my chest feeling the cold and shivered. He brought me towards him and kissed me. I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"I've got a question," he said and smirked.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes Romeo," I said and bent down and kissed him.

"I better go before Caleb has a shit fit," he said and climbed out.

"What is up with Caleb?"

"He is just very protective over me and the others. Long story, something for later." He brought his head back in and kissed me. "Later babe."

I smiled and watched him climb down and run towards his car. I closed the window and locked it. I turned the lights off and went to bed. I looked at the window and got out of bed. I unlocked it and smiled. Maybe Romeo would climb back up later or some other night.
