Freaky Love

by Black Cherry Coca Cola Lolita

Sons of Ipswich have found their other halves, or did they find them? Chase is back. Some people will die? Mainly ReidOC. Rated M for lang. R&R appreciated much. Browen's old name was Rachael Green, too much like "Friends" Sorry if you see old name.

26. Chapter 23

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE TIME LAPSE. JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE PATIENCE. THANKS!

Chapter 23: Because You're Like Me

"Yeah, I would definitely kick ass if I was able to stand on my own," Browen added. "Well, you better rest your ass for the formal," he said lightly with concern. "That's all I am? A dancing partner?" she laughed. He didn't answer but sat on the bed and stared intently to her dark brown eyes. "After all that happened, you're still questioning?" Reid posed the question. "Can't fuck a corpse can you now?" Reid stood up. "I'm beginning to think that you're using that as a scapegoat. Have I tried to? No. In fact, you had no idea what was going on in my head when you were in trouble." Reid walked over to her window and stared out.

"Enlighten me," she replied. "Why do I need to explain all this emotional bullshit to you?" "It's not so much for me. When you say it, you're admitting to yourself that you got more than that hard front. It's not the sex, Reid. You think that's the only thing preventing us? You won't open to yourself let alone me." "That's how you get in trouble." "I thought you were the James Dean of Spencer Academy?" "Ha, seriously though. We're just friends you know. When I thought I was going to lose you, I felt something I never really felt." "What is that?" "Nonphysical pain." "Go on." "It's hard to explain like my lungs collapse, a knot in my throat, and my heart hurt." Reid fidgeted as he spoke those uncomfortable words.

"Reid," Browen was taken aback. He ignored her call. "Reid look at me," she pleaded. He took a breath and turned around. "Was that so far fucking hard?" she smiled. "That's all I want from you, honesty and unguarded." "How do you do it?" "Do what?" "Get that from me?" "Patience, time, and perseverance. It's there but not easy to get to." "Kind of, like you." "Yeah. Although, I am a tad more open." "Maybe that's how you can get that from me. Because you're like me." Browen looked down at her lap. "No Reid, I have a vagina. You have a penis. I guess you really don't pay attention in school."

"Smart ass," he walked to her. "Promise me if Chase comes, you call me," he requested. "Yes," she replied. Then, Reid did something so out of character.
