Fireworks Baby
Reid got the answering machine the first time he called. Hitting redial he squeezed his phone tightly imagining it to be Tyler's neck.
Finally the ringing stopped, the call picked up on the final ring before the machine again. Opening his mouth he was ready to blast his friend for what he had done.
"Is Kaille with you?" Ty's voice interrupting him.
Visually imaging the slow death of his friend he answered the question. "No."
"Do you know where she is?" he asked insistent.
Reid recognized the tone.
This individual tone was saved solely for when it concerned Kaille. It was the confident, strong, no bull shit side of Ty only she could bring out. This was probably the first time he wasn't impressed to hear it. Before he had been defending Kals against something, this time it was his fault she was upset.
"She went for a run."
Reid knew Tyler wasn't really stupid, even if he acted like it lately. Both he and Tyler both knew that for her to run she was extremely upset. As a proud couch potato and movie goer running was a thing to be done only when the times truly called for it. He almost grinned to himself, finally it had not been his fault that she needed to run. This was something he was going to be throwing in people's face for a long time to come.
"She was crying to." He figured he owed Ty the truth, especially after the guilt trip he had received due to the headache incident. Headaches could be fixed quite simply by any of them with some good old fashioned using, but crying, crying was bad. Making Kaille cry was definitely up there with cheating on the 'What not to do if you don't want to be shunned' list.
A muffled dammit came through the phone, followed by what sounded like something hitting the dashboard.
"I screwed up."
"Yeah."
Cursing through the phone one final time Ty snapped his cell shut, leaving Reid left listening to the dial tone. Shaking his head he headed back to his dorm to finish his nap, whistling the whole way.
Things were moving along quite well in his books.
The sound of my labored breathing helped to drown out everything else. My feet rebounding off the cement propelled me forward, my lungs burning. I was only on my third kilometer and already ready to lie down. I wasn't a runner. Thank god I had decided to turn back around 10 minutes ago.
Already I felt calmer about the whole situation. I had expected to much at once, I rationalized. I had already waited close to 5 years for Ty's affection, I could last a little while longer. Slowing my pace I walked back into the parking lot, my legs weak. My heart was a traitor to my brain, almost on instinct my eyes landed on the black hummer back in it's usual parking spot. I may not have been mad or sad anymore but that didn't mean I was ready to face him just yet. I was embarrassed and slightly scared of what he might say.
So due to my unwillingness to talk to him with as much skill as my klutz self possessed I snuck back into the dorms. I passed right by my room, instead of returning in desperate need for another shower I headed a floor up. Stopping I hesitated at knocking on the this door. If I went through with this there would be questions asked and I didn't know if I would have all of the answers.
Knocking I held my breath.
There was no answer. Finally after everything that had happened lately something good.
Making sure no one was watching I jumped up just snagging the key on top of the door. Opening the door I stuck my head inside. If there was one thing I had learned it was that just because someone didn't come to the door didn't mean they weren't there. In fact there was a chance that they were there -with someone else- doing something you really hadn't wanted to think about let alone see. That was a Reid lesson, yeah out of all my friends it was him I had to thank for my nightmares and distrust of doors.
Thankfully the room was clear. It wasn't supposed to be though, I didn't know if this was good or bad yet.
I was in Sarah's room where Caleb and her were supposed to be. I really wasn't that upset no was one here, now I wouldn't be grilled. There really wasn't alot of options left for me to choose from, I couldn't go back to my room I had locked it before I left but there was a chance someone could be outside waiting for me. Reid's room was just as bad, I had lost my key to Pogue's room so my only hope had been here. By coming here I had been willing to face questioning from the golden couple.
My luck was getting better. Hopefully.
Moving quickly I grabbed what I had come for, a towel, t-shirt and a pair of sweats. In my opinion grey sweat pants were the gift of god when you felt like hell. They would be to big due to the height difference but beggars couldn't be choosers. Locking the door and managing to get the key back in its rightful place I made a bee line for the girl's showers.
Once again clean I hiked up the pants rolling them a couple more times. With the pants still dragging on the ground and the t-shirt a little big I ran my fingers through my hair. Leaving it down to dry to I headed back to my room. Peaking around every corner I knew I was a loser for checking but continued to do so anyway.
Finally I made it to my room with no one in sight.
Sticking the key into the lock I burst through the door, shutting it swiftly behind me. I had done it, I was free! I could hide out for the rest of today then tomorrow begin the awkward tip-toeing around the other person stage, what a fun week it was going to be.
"Kaille,"
I jumped.
Spinning around I backed up against the door. There sitting on my bed he sat, having watched my very dramatic entrance, his expression pained. Now I felt like a fool I hadn't even considered the possibility of him breaking in to talk to me. And now he got to see me in baggy non-fitting clothes, there really was only so much one could take.
As I moved to leave the room he sprang forward. Quicker then I had ever seen him move, he was beside me, his fingers wrapping themselves around my wrist. He didn't squeeze or try and pull me back, I knew if I had tried to break his grasp he would have let go. That was just the kind of person he was.
"We need to talk."
His words were identical to the ones I had said to him earlier.
I knew we did, I was just afraid of what he might have to say. He made me vulnerable, something I despised and in this position he could easily hurt me without even realizing it. Ugh...I was so going mushy, it was time for another Reid hang out night.
Feeling him loosen his grip I expected him to let me go. Instead he shocked me as he slid his fingers down clasping my own. Gently he nudged me towards the bed where we both sat down.
Again everything was silent.
Opening my mouth he cut me off before any sound escaped.
Eye to eye he squeezed my hand once. "It's my turn to talk now." His voice stronger then I felt.
Frowning I was ready to argue that point.
Bringing his other hand up to my face he stopped millimeters away. Electric currents seemed to jump between the distance, my body humming to life.
His body hardened beside me. Sighing in frustration he dropped his arm beside me.
He muttered under his breath what sounded like, "Can't help myself."
"Kals when you told me you weren't dating Reid why do you think I left?"
The question seemed simple enough.
"You looked mad, then when I tried to hug you it looked like you were concentrating on something."
A crooked smile crossed his lips.
"You're so clueless sometimes." His words full of relief.
"I wasn't angry Kals I was so unbelievably relieved."
That had my eyes popping in his direction, suddenly clueless didn't seem so bad if you got rewarded with this.
"I can't control myself when I'm around you." He was watching me closely, his dark gaze hooded. "I had to get out before I scared you."
I actually snorted. Laughing I just shook my head. "And you think I'm clueless." Leaning towards him I whispered loudly, "I've been trying to get you to kiss me for ages, I was jut about to giv..ouff
I was pushed back against the bed. His hands were running up and down my sides, his mouth latched onto my neck. Moaning I grabbed his head, I needed to feel his lips on my own. Opening my mouth I met his own, our tongues clashing in the middle. My hands wondered down across his back sliding under his shirt. Groaning against my lips, he tangled his legs with my own. We were a perfect match, our bodies aligning. Pulling him down on me I moved against him, his touch everywhere. Moving together, his hands trailed across my stomach, it was building in me.
"Kals." He whispered as if a prayer.
Shuddering he grabbed my hands holding them against the bed in an effort to stop their exploration.
I couldn't stop, didn't want to. Everything had let up to this, every little comment said, every secret look.
It was now.
"Shh... slowly" He whispered, his body taunt and unmoving against my own. Slowly his words broke through, he was trying to stop me before we went to far to fast. My chest heaving I pounded my head against the mattress in frustration.
Hesitantly he let go of my arms, rolling to the side to cradle me against him. Running his fingers through my hair we lied there saying nothing.
Finally he spoke, his head resting against my neck, "You have no idea what it was like knowing there was no chance."
I could have laughed. "I know exactly what it's like, your one of my best friends."
Resting his head in the slope of my neck he ran his nose against the curve of my ear. "You were always his."
"No, I was never his. I thought you didn't like me like that."
I could feel him smile against my neck. "You intimidated me from the first time we met. You were the first girl to ever say no to his charm."
Turning my face was inches from his own. I wanted him to see my face as I said it, there would be no mistakes.
"Ty, you were the first boy to steal my heart, I used to compare anyone I met to you. No one was ever good enough."
I kissed him softly.
"You were the first guy I ever loved, and it never went away."
His eyes locked with mine, finally as if waiting for me to say it he smiled.
"I've always loved you, you have no idea how much effort it took not to attack Reid whenever he went near you."
It must be a chick thing, the intense happiness when finding out that the guy you had liked forever was jealous. Let me tell you it did wonders for my self-esteem, imagine going from the chick whose only relationship lasted one week to lying in bed with Ty.
"It was so annoying everyone thought me and Reid were dating."
"You were always together." he pointed out.
"Yeah because the guy I liked was totally oblivious."
"So how are we going to tell everyone?"
"Tell them what exactly?"
"That your mine of course."
Yay!
"Hm...that is tricky." Playing along I thought it over. "Good news is Reid knows and Kate has suspicions which means Sarah will know by Monday."
"Well Pogue saw us dancing so he knows something is up and he'll probably mention it to Caleb sooo.."
"Wait what!" Kate so let me think only she'd seen that, pshhh...women couldn't be trusted
"That's why he gave me that weird look last night." Good to know I wasn't losing my mind, he had been acting strange.
He tensed only slightly beside me, "He cornered me when you girls went to the washroom."
Kate and Pogue were meant for each other, they had both been suspicious of us. I definitely owed them for their meddling, not only had I been ambushed but they had pushed him also. My friends were the best.
"Well that definitely simplifies things."
"You know I'm still going to hang out with Reid."
I swear he glared at my wall. He was jealous of Reid, how cute. I get to say cute now cause I have a boyfriend!
Snuggling closer I grinned into his shirt. "You'll just have to remind me at intervals of why I love you."
"Really?" He definitely sounded intrigued.
"Yup and with my attention span they're going to have to be really short intervals."
Grinning he rolled so I was balanced on top of him.
"I guess I have my work cut out for me."
"I never said I was going to be easy."
Grinning like idiots we met in the middle our hands already fused to the other.
It was exactly forty-five minutes later when we left his room. Yes there was still a V on my forehead...technically, he was such a gentleman sometimes. Of course Reid was still asleep in his bed when we got there. And let me say, Tyler had a fun time waking him up, before demonstrating how we were now together and touching was no longer allowed. I believe Reid's only reply was "finally man I thought I was going to have to fuck her to get you moving." Truly inspiring words from the best friend.
Exactly 10 hours later the whole school knew we were together. Kate and Sarah both denied ever believing me and Reid were together, totally agreeing they saw the Tyler thing before I did. I figured the safest thing to do was just agree with them, they really weren't going to let it drop otherwise.
Good news for me though, turns out while I had been oblivious to his feelings the whole male population of our school had known. A certain favorite swimmer boy, who after admitting this had gone all innocent looking, had made it clear what would happen if any of them as so much as went near me. He at least had the smarts to try and look ashamed at what he had done when I had cornered him about it, sadly the anger didn't last long. He was forgiven before the end of the day, who knew the innocent, baby boy of the group had such talent.
