Cassie was interrupted by a knock at her door. She quickly saved and closed out of the document before shutting her laptop. "Who is it?" she called, walking to the door.
"It's Reid," he answered, his voice muffled.
Cassie opened the door to see Reid, a smile adorning his face.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." He said back.
They stared at each other, not at all awkward, but content. The slamming of a door broke the moment.
"So," Cassie said after clearing her throat, "how can I help you?"
Reid smirked. "Well…" he trailed off suggestively.
Cassie laughed and slapped him on the arm.
"I'm kidding," he told her chuckling. "I was actually wondering if you wanted to go for a walk."
Cassie smiled. "Sure," she told him, "just give me a moment to get of few things." Cassie shut the door on Reid and went over to the antique chest at the end of her bed. Opening the lid, she smiled at her weapons cache. She chose two stilettos and stuck one in each book. Next she picked up her whip and wrapped it around her waist. Finally, she picked up her .22 loaded with silver bullets and tucked it in her waistband and pulled her shirt over it to cover it. Standing up, she shut the chest and walked back over to her door. She opened it and smiled brightly at Reid. "I'm ready now."
Reid smiled back and grabbed her hand after she pulled her door closed. They walked without saying a word, through the dorm and then outside. They walked around the building and Cassie gasped when she saw the forest.
Reid squeezed her hand. "You want to walk in there?"
Cassie just nodded. He smiled and tugged on her hand. "C'mon then."
Cassie followed Reid into the woods and they walked among the trees, just enjoying each other's company. Finally, Cassie couldn't take it anymore and she pushed Reid against a tree and kissed him. Reid quickly responded to the kiss and it soon grew heated. Too soon for Reid, Cassie pulled away.
"I'm sorry," she said, looking down, "I'm not sure what came over me."
Reid grabbed Cassie's hand, and with his other hand, tilted her face up. "Don't be sorry," he told her, "I enjoyed it."
Cassie smiled and gave him a kiss. "So," she asked, "does this mean we're dating now?"
"Do you want to?" he asked.
"Yeah I do," Cassie answered.
Reid smiled and gathered her in a hug. "Then yes, we're dating. You are now officially Reid Garwin's girlfriend, envy of all the girls, and some of the boys, in Spencer."
Cassie giggled and hugged Reid back. "Let's go back," she told him, "It's getting dark."
Reid looked up and saw that it was indeed nearing twilight. He took Cassie's hand again and they walked out of the woods joking and laughing. Too soon for both of them, they were back at Cassie's dorm room.
"So," Cassie said.
"So…I'll see you tomorrow?" Reid replied.
Cassie smiled. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow."
Reid kissed her and then pulled her into a hug. "Bye," he said softly.
"Bye," she repeated, giving him a small wave before going into her room and closing the door. Cassie sighed.
"Don't fall for him lass," Sanzi warned from atop her bedspread, "You'll only end up hurting yourself."
Cassie sighed again and began putting her weapons away and undressing for bed. "I know Sanzi, but I think it's too late. I haven't known Reid for very long, but I feel a connection to him."
"Well, be careful," Sanzi told her.
"I will Sanzi," she told him as she climbed into bed, "I'll try."
