Bloody Hell
A look of resignation passed across his eyes. Stepping back he waited as I stepped through, shutting the door behind me. Walking across the room I sat down on his bed watching as he crossed the room to sit beside me.
The bed sunk down under our combined weight, which of course brought certain images to mind. Cough- Our bodies intertwined -Cough. How I'd managed to sleep in the same bed as him without doing anything was beyond me. Everything about him was so perfect. From his messy hair and bright blue eyes to his lean body, everything was perfect. I couldn't figure out why he was still single, were all women besides me blind?
He waited patiently as I looked him over, neither of us sure how to start what had to be said. Maybe I wasn't the only one nervous about this, with his shoulders slumped he looked as if this were going to kill him.
Memorizing every inch of him in case this all went wrong and I screwed everything up (I happened to be especially good at that) I cleared my throat. Thankfully his left hand caught my attention before I was said anything stupid.
Frowning I gently grabbed his hand from where it lay, placing it on my lap. Tracing his knuckled I was careful of the cuts and scratches marring them. A purplish hue had started to rise across his skin.
Looking up I asked what was on my mind. "From hitting Reid?"
He looked away, unsure.
"Ty?"
Nodding he looked everywhere except at me.
"He told you."
It wasn't a question, his voice somewhat defeated.
"Yeah, he didn't tell me why though." Shrugging I kept my voice light. "I'm sure he deserved it."
"You're not mad?" He held his breath.
"At him? Nah he's just Reid." Pushing off the issue. I'd hit the guy more times then I could count for his perv comments and random groping, it would be only hypocritical of me to be mad for this. Besides he'd done it on my behalf.
"No," He said quietly, his hand in my lap tightening around my own. "At me."
I was quiet for a second, not really sure. Turning my body I sat directly in front of him, his hand still in my own.
"Why would I be mad at you?"
His whole body seemed to sag at the question, all of the strain he felt finally showing on his face.
"For hitting him."
Pushing my hair out of my face I smiled, "Like I said I'm sure he deserved it,"
I had to do it before I lost my nerve completely. "Thank you again for last night."
The look I had seen in his eyes before returned in a fury. The different hues of blue clashed together, emotion visible.
Slowly as if not to shock me he lifted his other hand and brought it to the side of my face. Tenderly he traced the lines of my face, from the side of my ear to the bottom of my chin. I held my breath as he neared my lips. Watching my expression he finally dragged the pad of his thumb across my bottom lip. Sighing I parted my lips without hesitation.
His gaze hardened and his breath caught. Forcing himself to drop his arm he leaned back.
"I'm sorry," The words quiet and filled with regret and what I hoped was longing.
"Why?"
For a second he looked mad before he settled on the look of a defeated man. "Reid."
I could have laughed or cried, I wasn't really sure at that exact minute. Instead I did something I'd wanted to do for quiet a while.
Dropping his hand I lent forward, wrapping my arms around his neck. I pushed him down my body lying against his own. On instinct his arms came around me holding me close, his body betraying his mind. The first kiss was a soft one, just the touching of my lips against the corner of his. The second one was just as soft but perfectly centered.
The third one he pulled me forward roughly searing our lips together.
His hand came up to angle my head for a deeper kiss this time.
He was an inferno consuming me, everything was him. All I could ever want was him.
Suddenly he pushed me away, breathing deeply. His eyes held a wild look, desperation clearly evident.
"Kaille we can't."
My brain had evacuated at the extensive overload that was Tyler. Dumbly I stared at his lips as I waited for my brain activity to pick back up. I really wasn't seeing a reason why we couldn't continue with kissing.
Shakily I leaned back on my arms, he wasn't looking at me again. It was amazing how fast he could switch from in control and dominating (in a oh so right kind of way) to shy and unsure.
"We have to talk." Wow even to me my voice sounded hoarse.
"I know," Finally he looked back up at me. His eyes seemed lifeless when compared to seconds before.
I really didn't know how to go about this, it had all seemed a lot simpler on the way over.
"Err...I'm single."
..
..
..
Wow beautifully Kals, really superb.
"Pardon?"
"Yeah."
He looked about as clueless as I felt right then and there. See how perfect we were for each other.
"Ok."
I really hadn't expected him to agree with me so fast. Two point five words said and now it was ok to kiss... hmm... I had talent.
"Reid is going to kill me," He started almost cheerfully.
Ok so he was truly a lost cause but I still had talent.
Really I did.
"Ty?"
"But it was worth it."
Yay I'm worth it.
"I did kiss his girl"
Woah time out, take 5.
"Ty"
...
...
"Best kiss of my life to."
...
...
No need to congratulate me, I know how good I am.
...
...
"TYLER!" Ok so that got his attention. He stopped his rant which was a good sign.
"Listen to me closely because I swear to god I am not going to repeat this again. Me and the dork are just friends that's it."
He opened his mouth.
"Shut it!"
He did.
"Friends, no benefits, no kissing, nothing. Just best friends, he's a flirt with everyone it means nothing."
He sat there beside me, a far away look in his eyes. If anything he looked confused and kind of embarrassed, which was definitely not what I had been aiming for. Shifting nervously I examined my nails, maybe I was hopeless. Leaning over I put my hand on his shoulder ready to hug him.
Tensing Tyler leaned away, his body taunt. Ok that stung quite a bit I was only going to hug him. Standing he put distance between us, his back towards me. I really didn't know what to do. He was quiet and distant when he thought I was dating his friend and was even stranger when I admitted to being single. I really was doomed to a life of loneliness and mixed messages.
Because there was mixed messages, I had not been imagining him kissing me back DAMMIT!
Raking his hands through his hair again he turned. His eyes were definitely darker then his usual baby blue hue. He didn't seem mad though, just more guarded and controlled.
I moved towards him once again, my movements slow, watching for a reaction. Sure enough almost as soon as I moved in his direction he froze.
Eyes dark, he watched every step I took, his posture unchanged.
Almost a foot away his voice stopped me.
"Kals."
I was used to him calling me by my nickname. Hell I was pretty sure it had been him who had first called me it. No what stopped me in my tracks was his tone. Used to a light cheery voice or guarded indifference the barely controlled need made my stomach jump. My body understanding the tone better then me tightened.
He didn't miss the sharp in take of breath or shiver that ran across my skin. The heat of his gaze intensified noticeably and yet he made absolutely no move towards me.
Sadly right before my eyes I watched a transformation take place. His gentlemanly beliefs just barely beating back the need that his gaze reflected had him fighting against what we both wanted. With one last stare he practically ran from his room, leaving the door open in his haste.
Standing there alone in his room I bit back a well deserved scream of indignation. What did I have to do? Write what I felt on my forehead for everyone to see, yell it out at the top of my lungs. Seriously I was so sure I had finally made him see! This was just great, here I was alone in not only my best friend's room who happened to me in my bed this very moment but also the room of the guy I had the hots for. Yes, life really is all rainbows and lollipops.
I wasn't going to lose this time. I had stayed quiet for years now waiting for him to clue in. That was then and this was now. If he didn't like me and wasn't interested then I needed to hear it because I was tired of the game.
Slamming the door on my way out I started my search.
...
Whomp!
"Wake Up!"
Freaked Reid shot out of the covers. He had been having the best dream of his life. They had been twins, one a sultry brunette and the other an 'innocent' blond angel. And they had wanted only two things, a water bed and him.
Groaning in frustration he glared at the tiny chick in front of him. It was a sad glare, the side of his face to sore to truly be impressive. With her hands on her hips and her hair a beautiful mess of curls his best friend did not look happy.
Bloody hell.
"So... how did everything go with Tyler?"
The pillow whipped at his head explained everything. There was now no way to deny it, Tyler truly was an idiot, something he had been saying this whole time. All he'd had to do was admit his feelings, god he was always the truthful one, why start lying now.
"Aahhh!" She screeched stomping her foot childishly.
"I told him we weren't dating and that I would never sleep with you then proceeded to kiss him senseless."
"Hey what's wrong with sleeping with me!"
"Concentrate!"
.
.
.
"Sorry, Continue." Her eyes had definitely flashed red there. Scary.
"Thank you." Plopping down beside him she twisted her hands in the comforter. "All he did was stare at me afterwards. Then when I went to hug him he flinched away followed by the darkest hottest stare I have ever seen, totally beat out all those chick movies Kate is always making me see."
He didn't see the problem yet, stares were always followed by pick up lines and suggestive touching in his books.
"So I walk towards him and he runs. Not towards me oh no, he books it out of there so fast." The punch directed at the pillow beside him had him shifting a safe distance away.
Falling back Kaille stared up at the ceiling where she had taped photos of her with her friends. Eyes settling her favorite image, a photo taken of Ty grinning at her through the camera she felt defeated.
"By the time I got outside his hummer was gone."
He could have happily killed his best bud right at this second. Tears threatened to escape the corners of Kal's eyes, misery painted across her face. Carefully he laid beside her, hugging her to him.
"He's just confused right now." Pulling his hands through her hair he silently promised to at least slug him for making her cry.
"Until half an hour ago he's assumed we've been dating, that's a lot to readjust to."
Relationships really didn't seem worth it. There was crying and feelings and the sharing of feelings. And even when it did work out well you were leashed to one person. Ugh...poor saps really.
"Thanks Reid."
Snuggling closer I couldn't believe I had just cried all over Reid. The last time I had cried at all had been when we had to put my dog Tawny down. I had been a mess at the time, curled up in a ball crying my heart out. And it had been Tyler who had found me and held me the whole night as I cried. He was too big a part of my life to mess up.
I needed to escape.
"I think I'm going to go for a run."
Not waiting for a reply I shot up grabbing a pair of sweats and an old t-shirt before padding into the bathroom. Running was what I did when I needed time to think, and I needed to think.
Understanding that she needed time alone Reid wordlessly stood, leaving her room. On the other side of her door he pulled out his cell phone.

Sorry if this seemed like a filler but I had to set everything up for the ending.
