Chapter 13.9: So, What Do We Do Now?
She lifted her head and saw Reid sleeping. She didn't view Reid the same as before. He still was an asshole according to her. Again, a more complex asshole. What happened before became a blur of emotions in her head. A cell phone rang. Reid flinched a little. Browen went down and pretended she was asleep.
"Ugh, hello?" he said softly. "Reid, it's Pogue. Where are you?" "I'm at the girls' house." "Oh.." Pogue was confused and thought that Reid seduced Browen. "It's not like that!" "Okay, okay. We were just worried. We're all at your house and you didn't come home, you know." "You called hours later, like at.." he looked to the clock, "four in the morning?!" "Sorry." "Fine, you know I'm alive, good night." He hung up the phone. He turned off his phone and threw it across the room.
"You awake?" Reid asked to see if she was sleeping or not. She didn't respond. So, he settled again and was about to close his eyes. "Before your phone rang actually,"she squeaked. He looked at her. "Couldn't sleep?" "More or less." "It was rough." "I'll say. So, what do we do now?" "Now? We sleep because between the party and us, I'm physically and mentally exhausted."
"Yeah." She didn't mean literally. She meant him and her. It was true they needed sleep. But don't get comfortable with it, Browen. He'll stick around for awhile until he's bored or done. She still had reservations about him and them. Reid was just weary of relationships in general, but he wants this one to prove him wrong.
