A/N: So I am a horrible horrible person! I can't believe I haven't updated in so long! I am really sorry, but I am happy to say that I now own a new laptop, and I can get back into writing without having to restore my computer every two weeks and losing all of my school work, fanfictions and everything else. Plus there was a very solid case of writer's block that plagued me for months I couldn't even write out new ideas, but I am back! And I'm supposed to be writing a ten page term paper right now but I really wanted to write this out first! So I hope you like it. Again I am sorry for not updating sooner!!

Chapter 19: Taking a Vacation

The sunlight was bright inside the bedroom causing Tatianna to wake up, she groaned slightly and hid herself under her blankets, sighing she knew she wasn't going to go back to sleep and slowly removed the blankets. Sitting up and leaning against her headboard she looked towards her side and saw Reid still sleeping soundly, laying on his stomach his arms underneath the pillow his head was resting on. Smiling softly she turned towards her other side and glanced at her clock, reading it she decided she should get up since it was ten in the morning. Tatianna stretched before slightly stumbling towards her dresser grabbing shorts and a tank top and then to the bathroom, turning on the light she looked in the mirror, her hair was messy and some of her make-up was underneath her eyes. Grumbling she grabbed her brush and made her hair look somewhat better and then she washed her face getting all the make-up off of her skin before putting on her clothes, once she was done she rooted around underneath her sink and grabbed her bong before walking back out into her bedroom and plunked herself down on her bean bag chair.

Packing the bowl Tatianna took a hit, holding in the smoke she waited until it burned before exhaling and then taking a few more before she began to mull over the events of the past few weeks. Reid and her fighting, making up, fighting, making up and now dating, it made her feel happy that they had finally gotten to this point. Then there were the others, she was irritated because they hadn't stopped Caleb from yelling at her and Reid, mostly she was mad at Caleb for shooting his mouth off and not taking into consideration that he was wrong and obviously that Chase was stronger than he thought. At the very end of her thoughts was Chase, he had scared her a bit but not as much as he probably should have the thing that had scared her was the thought of losing Reid or him being seriously hurt. Not only that but that they didn't really have anything to go with the prophecy and how to get rid of Chase or what would happen when they did she knew that it said 'One must pay to fix the curse' but she wasn't sure if that meant the boys would be able to use willingly without aging or if it meant that they would lose their powers altogether. Groaning in annoyance Tatianna grabbed her bong again and packed a new bowl, lighting it she took some more hoots in hopes of straying her thoughts.

"Baby, what are you doing?" she heard Reid's groggy voice and looked up towards her bed to see him sitting up and looking at her.

"Just thinking" she answered, and kept her eye contact with him.

"About?" he asked her rolling off the bed and grabbing his boxers, slipping them on he came and sat behind Tatianna wrapping his arms around her shoulders he held her tightly and kissed the side of her neck.

"Everything that's been going on, the others and last night, Chase and what will we do? And you and me" Tatianna answered, and felt Reid stiffen a bit when she answered.

"I just mean, it's getting old everyone not stepping in or reprimanding Caleb but you or me, I don't like having to do it all the time they can step in too." She started to explain "As for Chase, I mean we know he is the one to fix the curse but we don't know what we are supposed to do at all I mean everything is starting to fall into place and yet the biggest piece of the puzzle we don't know and it's stressing especially when we don't know how much time we have."

Pausing Tatianna grabbed Reid's hands, and smiled gently even though he couldn't see her face "The only thing that really makes me happy about everything is you, to be honest, I mean we've gone through so much bullshit yet we still can't seem to stay separated. It's weird but so far it's been keeping me on my toes, and you listen to me when the others don't, asides from Kate and Sarah, but they don't understand the whole powers thing"

"Babe, no one has ever reprimanded Caleb it's going to be hard for them to start now but I understand what you mean and I am not trying to make an excuse but it is true, hopefully they will realize that. Now with Chase we will figure it out, he seems to be taking his time which isn't always a good sign but at least it gives us more time but I am worried with what he sees you as" Reid told her, holding her even tighter as he said the last part.

Tatianna didn't ask him about the last part she knew Reid wasn't one to talk about his feelings, so she figured she would just leave it be. Sighing softly, she leaned back against him and closed her eyes, "I'm glad you don't freak out that we are missing school" she then mumbled.

Reid chuckled a bit, before kissing the back of Tatianna's neck, "I like to take as many breaks from school as I need, what should we do today?" he asked her.

"There isn't much to do here after a while" Tatianna replied and then smiled before turning around to face Reid; he saw her smile that was saying she had an idea.

"It looks like you have an idea" Reid pointed out, with his always there smirk.

"Of course I do, let's go to Boston" she explained moving out of Reid's arms she stood up and then grabbed some sweats and a tank top and then wandered into her bathroom.

"That sounds good, what are you doing?" he questioned, stretching out onto the bean bag and looked towards the bathroom door waiting for a reply.

Tatianna came into view leaning on the door slightly, and looked at Reid "I'm having a shower" she responded, and then shut the door to the bathroom. As Reid heard the shower turn on he grinned, and remembered last night and her body, it had been amazing in his eyes and Tatianna had to be one of the best if not the best sex he'd ever had.

'I have a girlfriend' he thought to himself in disbelief, and started doubting his choice and what would happen now that Chase was back 'I don't want her to get hurt, but she is already involved and she does have powers of her own. So she can handle herself' Reid debated in his mind but knew that he was initially right and that this was one of the best things after all she's still stuck by him with everything that had happened and the daily routine of a new girl every night was starting to wear Reid out. He pushed the thoughts out of his head and then noticed his phone vibrate, sluggishly he went over to it and saw that he had four texts and at least six missed calls, groaning in annoyance opened up the messages on his iPhone. They were all from Tyler, except for the calls two were from Tyler, one was from Pogue and three were from Caleb.

Tyler
10:33pm
Dude you should have seen Caleb after you two left.
7:30am
Hey man are you guys going to class today?
8:45am
Reid, come on man you've been missing to many classes
10:45am
Call me back man, Caleb is wondering where you are

Reid rolled his eyes as he usually did, and then proceeded to listen to the voice mails, there was Tyler's and both of them sounded like his texts just there was more annoyance, and boredom in his voice. Pogue's was short asking him why he wasn't at school, and that the others had probably called and to have fun with whatever he was doing and not cause tons of trouble. Then Caleb's were about how they still needed to talk about the Chase situation, what we are going to do, that we need to get working and finding stuff out, and how they shouldn't have left the night before and that he was sorry for blowing up like he did, which surprised Reid until Caleb told him to still be watching his addiction. Reid hadn't used for a good while now, if you exclude the fight with Chase, so hearing Caleb bring it up pissed Reid off to a good extent. Deleting all the voicemails he shut his phone, not bothering to answer any of them, and then he turned on the TV waiting for Tatianna to be done in the shower.

The door opened and Tatianna appeared, her gray sweats were rolled up to her knees and her purple tank top clung to her body, her hair was wet and some of it was wavy while the rest was still too wet. She came and sat on top of Reid, straddling him while grinning, she gave him a quick kiss before leaning back and looking down at him. "I have an even better idea, we should go to New York instead" she quickly told Reid, while placing her hands on his chest.

"But that is like four and a half hours away, we'd have to stay overnight or drive a good part of the night back" Reid said, looking up at Tatianna, how she was sitting on him was a big turn on.

"That's the whole point, we'll stay for more than one night" Tatianna clarified, her eyes lighting up at the idea.

"Why not" Reid agreed, and grinned at Tatianna who quickly got up and grabbed her suitcase from her walk in closet.

"You shower, while I pack and get ready" she excitedly said and Reid watched for a few moments as she grabbed random things from her closet and neatly placed them inside her dark blue rolling suitcase. He casually got up and then headed towards the bathroom to get ready.

'I can't wait to go to New York, I better call the hotel to let them know that I will be coming' I thought to myself and quickly went to look for my phone, finding it on my bedside table. Picking up my phone I scrolled through my list of contacts, after hitting ignore on my texts that were from Sarah, Kate, Clarke and Tyler. When I found The Plaza in my contact list I tapped the call button, put the phone to my ear and listened to it ring until someone picked up on the other line.

"Good afternoon, you've reached The Plaza Hotel, this is Rachel speaking how I may help you" came a lovely voice.

"Hello, this is Tatianna Anderson I'll be using my family's suite for the next couple of days."Tatianna explained, and waited for the girl to reply.

"Alright Ms. Anderson, it will be ready for when you arrive, have a safe trip here" Rachel told her happily and then hung up after Tatianna said goodbye.

Once she was done, she resumed packing her clothes up before she dried her hair, deciding she wanted to curl it she turned on her curling iron and put on her make up while it heated up. She put on her minimal amount of liquid and powder concealer and then some eyeliner on her top lid and some mascara before she began putting large but soft curls into her hair, halfway through she heard her bathroom door open and saw Reid emerge. He looked at her, and then towards her already packed bag and shook his head.

"What?" came Tatianna's whiny question, as she saw him shake his head.

"A little excited are we?" he asked back, and sat down on the bean bag he had been on before.

Glancing at him in the mirror, Tatianna felt a minor lump in her throat he had on his jeans but no shirt and his hair was still wet. She had seen him wet tons of times, for all of the swim meets she had gone to but it still affected her to see him like that. She swallowed hard, and then went back to curling her hair after replying to him saying she was very excited.

"Where are we going to stay?" Reid then asked her.

"Already figured out and set up" came her answer as she finally set down her curling iron and looked back towards Reid before standing up, and walking over to her bed where she had laid out clothes. Taking off her sweat pants showing Reid that she was wearing a white lace thong, she grabbed her dark blue skinny jeans and pulled them on before getting rid of her shirt, her bra matched her underwear and Reid felt himself get riled up as she slid on a simple tight blue V-neck shirt and a striped white and grey cardigan. Reid like how Tatianna wasn't always dressed up, that she was one of those girls that wasn't 'on' all the time.

"Where are we staying then?" Reid questioned, standing up and finding his shirt "Guess we should go over to my place to get some clothes" he then stated grabbing the keys to Tatianna's vehicle.

Tatianna's eyes flashed blue, and Reid's suitcase appeared packed, and a fresh set of clothes were set out on her bed. Reid glanced over at Tatianna and then looked back at his stuff "Or you could just do that" he mumbled, wondering why he hadn't even thought of doing that.

"Yes now hurry, we only have so much daylight left" the excitement in Tatianna's voice reminded him of a little kid at Christmas she was so eager to go. Tatianna went back into her bathroom and packed up her and Reid's bathroom stuff, after all the nights he spent at her place she had got him a toothbrush and all the other necessities.

"Alright I'm ready, let's go babe" Reid told her, and grabbed his and her suitcase and walking out of the room. Tatianna grabbed both of their cell phones, and did a double take of the room to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything else and sure enough she was. Grabbing her makeup, hair supplies and two phone chargers she shoved them all into the toiletries bag and headed downstairs. Leaving a note for her parents saying she was taking a vacation with Reid and would be back in a few days and to call her if they wanted to, she left the house and saw Reid patiently sitting in the driver's seat. She put the rest of her the things in the trunk, minus the phones, and hopped into the passenger side immediately going for her iPod and putting on Highway to Hell by AC/DC while Reid pulled out of the drive and headed towards New York.

Tatianna laughed, and then remembered she had messages on her phone grabbing it from its resting place in a cup holder she went to her messages and read them. Sarah and Kate both apologized for last night and were wondering how she was and where she was, while Clarke was also wondering where she was and if her and Reid had quote 'fucked each other's brains out yet, or were'. Laughing again Tatianna replied to Clarke first, telling her she was going to New York with Reid for a few days for a 'vacation' and that they were not being naughty at the moment. After that she texted both Sarah and Kate telling them that she was doing fine, and that her and Reid were taking a break but didn't say where and that they would be in touch in a few days.

"What's so funny?" Reid asked her, glancing over at her smirking face as she placed her phone back in its spot.

"Oh just Clarke, being a snoop" she laughed again, and then looked over at Reid and smiled.

"I must say I am quite excited for this vacation" Tatianna told him.

Then she heard her phone going off, looking at the caller ID she saw that it was Caleb calling her, rolling her eyes she pressed ignore. No doubt Sarah and Kate had told him, and he just had to know where they were. 'Too bad' she thought, before getting comfortable in her seat and looking out the window.

"Caleb?" Reid merely asked, and received a nod in reply, shrugging his shoulders to release the tension in them he then changed the subject "So are you going to tell me where we are going baby?"

"Nope, you'll see. Oh we have to go to out to my favourite place to eat too" Tatianna replied, she was all settled in for the slightly wrong drive, after Reid agreed with her about them eating at her favourite place they fell into a comfortable silence. Both enjoying the silence and the worry free state that they were now creating; they let their thoughts wonder aimlessly.

New York

Tatianna directed Reid to where they would be staying; when they arrived Reid looked at her before following her inside. She walked straight up to the front desk, stated her name and was given a set of keys while a man took their bags. Stepping into the elevator Tatianna pressed the number 20 and they waited in silence until the elevator dinged and the doors opened with a hallway in it and the Tatianna walked a little ways before stopping at a door and opening it. The man with the bags set them inside the doorway and then left, while Reid surveyed the room.

To say he was a bit surprised was an understatement; it was spacious, with natural and jewel tone colors, high ceilings and even a second level. Reid looked over at Tatianna, she had never mentioned this before, and then he thought to himself 'She doesn't really mention tons' shrugging his shoulders he walked further into the suite. There was a dining room, a living room with a large plasma TV mounted on the wall, a master bedroom downstairs with a large bathroom, two closets and a butler pantry which included a refrigerator, microwave and wet bar. Tatianna grabbed her bag and Reid followed her action, as she made her way up the steps which led them straight into a bedroom, dropping her bag along the wall and then jumped onto the bed.

"So how'd you manage to get this?" Reid asked her as he set his bag down by hers and looked around the room. Sitting in the chair in the corner and propping his feet up on the foot rest he looked over at Tatianna who was sprawled out in the king size bed.

"Oh we own it, this is my room, and my parents have the one downstairs. We usually come here every summer and Christmas" she explained and then stood up and walked over to two big patio doors and opened them up. Stepping out onto the terrace she went to the edge and leaned on the sculpted barrier and stared at Central Park, she truly enjoyed being here New York was her favourite place to be, she had decided this at a young age.

"Own it? Wow, what a view" Reid pointed out, standing beside Tat he took in their surroundings thinking that it really was a good idea to get out of Ipswich for a bit.

Okay so I know it's really not much, and it's just filler but I am going to start writing the next chapter and it's going to be helpful in the end. Thanks everyone! xoxo
