Club Can't Handle Us
Chapter Seven
Chapter seven is up and ready to go. Some more drama is about to come your way. Enjoy!
A month passes by fairly quickly, especially when you have a significant other to spend it with. Reid couldn't have been happier. He had actually found someone. Someone who could understand him but didn't put up with his crap. Hannah was so much different than the other women that he had dated in the past. She wasn't clingy, and she didn't wait on him hand and foot. She was her own independent person, and that was one of the many reasons why he liked her the way he did. When she told him she was a die-hard Bruins fan, he was hooked. Nothing was better than a woman who knew sports. When she met his dad; that would be a sight to see. Although, having Hannah as a girlfriend didn't come about without the talk. The talk coming from Devon himself. Devon physically sat the blond down and told him the rules to dating one of his best friends. If he hurt Hannah in any way, there would be hell to pay. "She has gone through a rough relationship. She doesn't need another one." Were his exact words. That made Reid think, she never mentioned another guy before, but past relationships were never a topic of discussion.
On the flip side, Hannah was the most content she had been in a long time. She couldn't even remember a time where she had been so happy. Reid was such a sweet guy, so much so, she began to wonder how he got those reputations in the first place. Her mother was skeptical when Hannah told her the first time. Emily was very concerned. This was almost the exact same layout as before. Hannah met a cute blue-eyed, blond, heart throb and instantly thought that she was in love. Only to have the "love" thrown back into her face and stomped on. She would not have that happen to her precious baby again. No sir! He may have been romantic on the outside, but beneath he could have been exactly like Conner was. What made Hannah the most happy with Reid was how well and how easy they could talk to one another. They had a decent amount of similarities as well. He was a Bruins fan just like her. That was a big plus in her book.
Springfield College planned many activities from its students and faculty. It was no surprise when there was an announcement for the Halloween bash that was going to be held at the rec center. How that was going to happen she didn't know, but hey, it could be possible. The party was going to be crazy though, that was for sure. More so because it was a costume party. Hannah was excited; she hadn't been to a costume party since high school. This was going to be a good night.
Hannah was busy putting on her outfit for the bash, when Lexi rushed inside. She was still in disbelief of the relationship between her roommate and the blond playboy. Lexi had no idea how Reid had managed to stay a one woman man for so long, but if it made Hannah happy, she would have to get over it.
"You're going with Garwin I take it?" Lexi asked, rummaging through the closet for something to wear.
"Who else would I go with?" Hannah said, adding the finishing touches to the cop costume she was wearing. "You going? It's gonna be fun."
"Yeah, I'm going to go. You look cute by the way."
"Thanks," there was a loud knock on the door. "Hey, Reid. You look good."
"Thanks," he greeted her with a kiss and entered the room. "Evening, Lex."
"Garwin," she nodded her head.
"You ready to go?" Reid turned back to Hannah. "You look fantastic."
"Thanks," Hannah blushed, grabbing her bag. "Let's get this party started. See you there, Lexi."
There were witches, vampires, mummies, and many more monsters mingling around when Hannah and Reid arrived. The room was dark and smoky thanks to the fog machines in the corners. Fake cobwebs dangled from the ceiling, and other Halloween decorations finished off the room. The DJ was mixing beats on the make-shift stage which sounded incredible.
"Wow, there's a lot more people here than I thought there would be," Hannah announced. "I didn't think it would be this full at five o' clock."
"Never too early to have a party, Hannabelle Lee," Hannah blushed again. Pet Names, he just had to use one from her favorite poem by Edgar Allen Poe. Couldn't he use a normal on like a normal person? "Would you like to dance?"
"Can you keep up?" Hannah gave him a playful grin and pulled him onto the dance floor.
You know I know how
To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin' you watchin' me, I go all out
The club can't even handle me right now
The club can't even handle me right now
Kelsey Verona thought she hated Hannah Davis before, but now she was absolutely livid with her. How could a freak like her get with a man like Reid Garwin? He should be with someone more his speed. Someone like her. When she first heard the whispers of the relationship, she outright refused to believe it. There was no way that they would be together, but when she saw them walking into the party hand-in-hand, she lost it. The way he was looking at her when they were dancing closely made her want to vomit. People should be talking about Reid and Kelsey not Reid and Hannah.
"If you look at them any harder do you think you'll make them explode?" the blonde vampire asked. "Makes you sick doesn't it?"
"Why her?" Kelsey whined. "They can't have that much in common. Could they?"
"Apparently they do," the vampire answered. "Where's Chase?"
"Getting us drinks," Kelsey said. "I have to break them up somehow. But how?"
"You'll figure out something. You always do." Then the woman disappeared into the dancing crowd.
She did always find a way to get what she wanted didn't she? Freshman year she slept with the TA to get to the top of the class so her parents would buy her a new car. Sophomore year, she stole Patience Rhode's boyfriend because he was the star of the football team, and last year she snagged and bagged a now NBA player. Her college years were busy no doubt. And now, she had the perfect plan to snag and bag Reid Garwin from right under Hannah Davis' nose. Yes, that was exactly what she was going to do.
"Why do I have a feeling someone's watching us?" Hannah mumbled into Reid's shoulder. "I've been having that feeling for a long time now."
"Maybe it's because we are the best dressed couple here. We look damn good," Reid grinned at his last statement. They did make an exceptional pair.
"I don't know," she unwrapped herself from his hold. "I'll be back. I have to go to the bathroom."
"All right. Don't make me wait too long now."
With an eye roll, Hannah exited the main room and down the hall into the ladies room. They were even decked out for the holiday. They weren't messing around.
When Reid saw Hannah leave the room, he headed over to the bar. Luckily Kirby was there chatting a girl up. Poor woman, his flirting skills were not up to par.
"Where's Hannah? Did you get dumped already?" Kirby asked, holding the dark-haired woman around the waist.
"Ha ha, you're so hilarious," Reid grabbed a bottle from the table. "Where are the others?"
"Devon decided that this party was stupid so he didn't come. Joey's dancing with some girl over there, and Rick's sleeping as usual. Uh oh, trouble three o' clock."
"Hey, Reid," that voice made him cringe inwardly. Just like every other time Kelsey Verona spoke. She went up to him and gave him a sickening smile. Could that girl dress herself properly at all? She was dressed in what he would guess to be a devil costume. If two pieces of red cloth was a devil costume now a days. Add that to a pair of black, hooker heels, and ugh. Reid wanted to throw up again. "Don't you look sexy, where's your date?" she spat out the last word.
"What are you doing here, Kelsey?" he asked. "Shouldn't you be sleeping with the soccer team or something?"
"No," she placed her hand on his arm and squeezed. "I was actually hoping to go for the swim team tonight. You interested?"
Reid looked at her in disgust. Maybe back in his high school days he would have been up for the challenge, but now the very thought made him sick. Not only did the woman want to make him keel over, but he was with Hannah, and she made him really, really happy.
"Get out of here, Verona," he sneered. "I'm sure that boyfriend of yours would be willing."
"But Reid," she pushed her chest against him. "I-"
"What's going on here?" Kelsey hid her smirk. Just as she planned. "What are you doing here, Kelsey?"
"She was just leaving," Reid pushed Kelsey off of him. "Want to go for a walk? It's getting a bit stuffy in here."
"Gladly," Hannah took his hand and left the party, but not without staring daggers at The Bitch before leaving.
Damn it, Kelsey thought. She was going to have to try harder. Maybe it would be best to lay low for a while, and wait for the most opportune moment.
