Hey there! This chapter is kinda long...just for you! I'm glad that you like it and want to see whats going to happen with Marnee and Reid...this chapter should give a little bit of an idea of what Reid wants to happen if you look hard enough. :
Disclaimer: I do not own The Covenant...I only own Marnee and the plot.
There goes that Temper
It was a Friday night…the week had passed rather quickly. Marnee and her new friends had gotten to know each other really well and Marnee was always busy with either homework, hanging out with Sarah and Kate, seeing the guys, or if she was unlucky, all three.
Marnee sighed, thinking about her thoughts and the big upcoming project in her Writing and Comp. class.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Marnee looked to her left and saw no one. She was just about to look to the right when a pair of hands covered her eyes. Her hands flew up and covered the big hands that covered most of her face.
Knowing it was one of guys, she ran her hands up the person's arms and found his face, which was kind of hard considering she was like a midget compared to them. She covered his eyes and laughed when she heard him do the same while letting go of her face.
"Oh, hey there Reid! What's up?" she asked as he put his big arm over her shoulders, leading her down the hallway.
"Nothing much…how's the little shorty doing today?"
Marnee laughed at the nickname she'd been given by the guys. "I'm doing o.k., I guess. Stressed out because of my project in Writing and Comp."
Reid looked at her as she sighed. Man, she's so tiny and cute…not to mention she keeps me on my toes. Damn, What I wouldn't give to hit that…mmm.
"Well, take a break your working yourself too hard. Everyone's going to Nicky's tonight. You should come have some fun…and of course, I'll be there." Reid said looking a little cocky when he said his last comment.
Marnee laughed. "Oh, then, I guess I'll have to come if your there." She laughed again. "But seriously, I could use the break. I suppose I'll go."
Reid smiled. "O.k….well, why don't you, Kate and Sarah get ready so we can go at like 7:30-7:45ish. Tell them all the guys will be waiting by the cars."
Marnee nodded and then turned to go to her room. Reid's hand on her arm stopped her. She turned and was met by his puppy dog face.
"Don't I get a hug? Pwetty pwease?"
Marnee rolled her eyes, but gave him a hug nonetheless. She was shocked at how well their bodies fit together…but as fast as it happened, the hug ended just as quickly.
Marnee smiled once again and headed off towards her room to get ready. Reid smiled at her retreating form and headed off to his room as well. It should be one interesting night he thought to himself all the way back to the dorms.
Marnee made it to her room and unlocked her door, throwing her bag down once inside. She then turned and headed back out the door, going to Kate and Sarah's room.
She knocked and a moment later Kate opened the door.
"Guys, what's Nicky's and what should I wear?!" Marnee's blurted question was giggled at by her friends, who took her by the hand and pulled her inside the room.
15 minutes later, Marnee exited the room with her instructions on what to do to get ready. She went back into to her room and grabbed her towel and shower things. Heading down the hall to the showers, she laughed at herself. Duh…Nicky's does sound like a bar.
She entered the showers, got undressed and got under the steaming water. 10 minutes later, Marnee was on her way back to her room to get dressed and do her hair.
She dried off and put on a bra and a clean pair of underwear, putting on a pair of distressed jeans and a white beater. She went into the bathroom and plugged in her wet-to-dry straightener.
Over the beater she put on a black zip-up hoodie with a gold design on it, putting her feet in matching gold ballet flats.
After she was dressed and had straightened her hair, she left it down and went into her room, putting on a necklace that had a bunch of random charms and things on it. She sat down at her desk to put her make up on just as there was a knock at the door.
"It's opened!" she yelled and Kate and Sarah stepped into the room, both of them dressed for a night out.
"Hey! You look great…nice jeans." Sarah said, stealing a glance at Kate, who nodded in agreement.
"Thanks…I'm just going to do my make up and them we can go." Marnee said glancing at her friends then back into the mirror at herself.
After Marnee had put on her gold eye shadow, mascara, and eyeliner, the three girls headed to where the guys said they'd meet them.
"Hey guys…same riding arraignments as always or are we switching it up?" Marnee asked after everyone had said hi.
"Yeah…Same stuff just like always. Me and Sarah, Pouge and Kate, and you Reid and Tyler." Caleb said, "Meet you guys there."
Everyone headed off to the cars. Tyler and Reid following behind Marnee to the Hummer.
"Damn, Marnee's looking good tonight, isn't she?" Tyler said. Reid glanced at him.
"Don't be getting any ideas Baby Boy…that girl is mine." Reid said, smiling but in his voice there was a warning tone.
"O.k. man. O.k….no need to get offensive."
All three got into the car and a short while later, pulled into the parking lot by Nicky's. They got out and joined everyone else. Caleb and Pouge in front, the girls in the middle and Tyler and Reid in the back.
All 7 sat down at their usual table, Pouge going to order drinks and food, Tyler and Reid heading to the pool tables.
A short time later, a song came on that made all the girls yell and get up to dance. While dancing, Marnee felt a pair of hands grab her waist. She turned around and looked at a guy with curly hair and a cocky smile.
"Hey…I'm Aaron Abbott. What's your name…besides "Fine" that is?" The guy said while looking at her up and down. Marnee shuddered, feeling uncomfortable under his roaming gaze.
"I'm not interested…thanks." Marnee said trying to turn out of his grip. Aaron stopped her.
"Oh, come on. A pretty thing like you hanging out with them," Aaron said looking at her group of guys, "ditch 'em and come with me. You can't resist this."
"Umm, I can and I will resist this." Marnee said, her lip curling with disgust. Just then is when all the guys noticed her being harassed by Aaron, Reid leading them over to where they were.
"Hey Aaron, why don't you go bother someone else. Can't you see she doesn't want you…and that she never will?" Reid said getting in his face, arm around Marnee's waist protectively.
"Buzz off Garwin…the lady can decide for herself." As Aaron said this he tried to pull her to him and the guys were shocked to see her eyes flash black then go to their normal blue-gray.
"Oh yes Aaron I can decide." Marnee said, moving closer to him so that her mouth was by his ear. "And I chose them." After she said that she kneed him in the groin and punched him in the face, her anger and annoyance clearly evident on her face.
She moved back to Reid's side and once again his arm fell into place around her hip. All the guys smiled at her and what she had just done to Aaron, all noting not to get in the way of her temper. Aaron looked at her and the guys when he got back up.
"This isn't over." He said, turning away and everyone laughed at his words. Their little Marnee could handle herself.
The rest of the evening went great and soon they were all back at the school, saying goodnight. As the girls headed to their dorm, the guys hung back, waiting until they were out of earshot to talk.
"Did you see her eyes? They flashed black…what does it mean?"
Everyone looked at Tyler, similar thoughts running through their own heads. Pouge, Reid and Tyler all looked to Caleb, waiting for him to say something about what they should do.
"Guys, meeting tomorrow night at the old colonial house. Let's see if there's anything in the Book about this…if there isn't anything, then I don't know what to do."
All four guys nodded to each other and headed off to their rooms. Tomorrow was going to be one trying day and they all knew it…they just didn't want it to come.
