When
we got to Nicky's I saw a familiar face in the group of people Caleb
and Sara were walking towards. Reid was smiling at me.
"KK,
this is Pouge, Kate and Tyler. Guys this is my cousin KK."
"Hi." I said smiling. We all sat down.
"So
KK, where are you from?" Kate asked me.
"Honolulu,
Hawaii." I said. She seemed nicer than Sara. I didn't dare go
into Sara's mind. I got up and walked over to the bar to get
something to drink.
"Aloa." I heard Reid say coming up
next to me.
"Aloha." I said laughing.
"Well I
tried."
"I appreciate the attempt." I said
smiling.
"I did a bit of research."
"Research?
You? Reid
Garwin?"
Tyler said, he had walked over to where we were standing.
"Yes."
Reid said annoyed. He wasn't too happy about Tyler coming over and
interrupting our conversation.
"Aaron is here. He wants to
challenge us to game of pool."
"Well let's go." He
said walking to the pool
tables. I got my
drink and walked back over to where Kate and Sara were sitting. Caleb
and Pouge were playing foosball. I sat down next to Kate.
"How
long are you staying here?" Sara asked me.
"As long as
Aunt Evelyn will let me." I told her.
"Great." She
said.
"What do you think of Ipswich so far?" Kate asked
after a long awkward silence.
"It's nice. Very pretty, it's
just too cold for me."
"You'll get used to it."
Sara said. Her tone was bitter. I had no clue what I had done wrong.
I finally got up and watched Reid and Tyler play pool. When it was
Tyler's, turn Reid walked over to me.
"Your name, it's
the last Queen of Hawaii's last name." I nodded. I have known
this for forever.
"My mom named me after her, because I, in
some ways, look like her."
"Reid your turn." Tyler
said. He looked at me before taking his turn. I listened to his
thoughts.
"Your much prettier." He said and I smiled.
"Hey all, just wanted to let you guys know that a big snow
storm is going to hit us directly. If it were you I'd head home."
I think the owner said. Caleb and Sara walked over to us.
"I'm
gonna take Sara home, you can either come with us or you can go with
Reid and Tyler, Tyler needs to drop something off for my mom."
"I'll go with Reid and Tyler." I said and Sara smiled.
"Let's go then." Tyler said. I followed him and Reid to
the car. Reid opened the back door of the Hummer for me.
"Thank you." I told him and he nodded.
The
snow was beginning to fall. By the time we got to Aunt Evelyn's it
was snowing so bad you couldn't see anything. We walked into the
house.
"Damn Heater, Damn Fireplace!" I heard her yell.
It was freezing inside the house.
"Auntie. I'm home,
Reid and Tyler are here also." I yelled to her.
"Hello
boys." She said walking into the living room.
"Hi Mrs.
Danvers." Reid and Tyler said.
"You two are staying
here tonight, the storm has gotten so bad. You two better call your
parents." They both nodded and pulled out their phones.
"Where
is Caleb?"Auntie asked me.
"He was taking Sara home."
A few minutes later Caleb showed up. He walked into the living room,
snow covered his jacket.
"You two spending the night?"
Caleb asked.
"Yeah." Reid said.
"Good. The
weather is terrible. I'll go get the blankets and sleeping bags."
We all followed him up the stairs. We grabbed the blankets and
sleeping bags and brought them downstairs. Aunt Evelyn went to bed. I
went back up to my room and grabbed Reid's jacket.
"Here"
I handed the jacket to him. "Thanks for letting me use it."
"Anytime." He said smiling. I went into my room and put
on my pj's. I curled up in bed, trying to get warm and fell asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night shaking. I was so cold.
I walked down stairs, hoping to find something like coffee that would
warm me up. I looked all over the kitchen for a coffee maker.
"What
are you doing?" I heard Reid ask. I looked over at him. He had
on just a pair of sweats. He had a really nice body. I smiled.
"I'm
trying to find a coffee pot or something. I'm freezing." He
slowly walked over to me. He wrapped me in a hug, I shivered at how
warm he was. My hands were on his chest. I slowly brought them up his
chest and wrapped them around his neck. I snuggled up closer to him,
eventually i felt a little warmer.
"Thanks." I told
him, still smiling.
"Your welcome Those mummy sleeping bags
are worth the money." He said smiling. I turned around and
started to walk back up to my room. I saw the snow that covered the
window. We were defiantly snowed in. I walked into my room, got under
the covers and fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning it
was still snowing. I looked out my window and I could barely see the
snow on the ground it was snowing that hard. I put on my coat and a t
shirt and jeans, and I walked downstairs. When I walked into the
living room, the power was out. Everything was lit by candles and
generators. I sat down on the sofa next to Tyler. Caleb had just
started the fire as I walked down the stairs.
"How's your
trip so far?" Tyler asked me.
"Just wonderful."
Reid started laughing.
"Welcome to Ipswich."
"We don't call it a year until there is a huge snow storm." Tyler explained.
"This is the worst one in a while. The last one where we were snowed in was two years ago." Caleb said
"They say we won't get out until Tuesday." Reid said smiling. Today was Sunday, oh great.
