To PleaofInsanity, kvsgrl, and Bella4195, thanks for stickin in there!

I'll get right to it, I don't own the Covanent, but I do rock it's world.

Theia's POV

I closed the door as quietly as I possibly could and pressed my forehead against the hard wood surface feeling the smooth, glazed texture on my soft skin. I heard Reid's feet tip toe down the hall to his room, and enter it.

"Eh-hem..." A chill of epic fear trickled down my spine

I spoke through the side of my mouth "If I don't make any sudden movements, you cant see me" She was silent, I expected an instant kill shot

"You smell like sex and shame."

There it was.

I whipped around to face her general direction

"Do not! We didn't have sex." I informed

"But you did something. Tell me!" Heidi's momma bear syndrome now subsided to the burning questions as a teen female, like myself. Honestly, I was about to FREAK.

"AHHH!" I threw my hands up in the air and we hugged, then realized we were a bit too loud and I shushed us both. I quickly parted slightly from the lady embrace. "I mean..." I nonchalantly smoothed my apparently mussed hair "It was nothing real special."

"You're a lying whore" she laughed, I shrugged and glanced my sightlessness downward and decided to be honest

"It...was extacy."

"Ooooooh... like Trojans?"

"Wow, no." I sighed in disbeilief

"Oh, oh! Wait!" she took me by the hand a little sluggishly and we got cozy together on Mega Pillow "So, what happened? You're face is completely flushed pink!"

"Yeah, yeah." I laughed lightly, then stopped to think for a moment

"What?" asked my friend, with a slightly drawl of fatigue "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it was just, powerful." I said, choosing my words carefully "He was in some kind of state of mind beyond what I could read, beyond what I, me myself, could read. The aura around him was so cold with wander lust. Like he was searching for something. Something real."

"Oh wow," she breathed "go on."

"He kissed me so hard, but..."

"But..." her groggy voice murmured on my soft bed, I paused thinking of how to describe it to her, being the one that never gets to describe anything, to anyone.

"He cradled me, he seemed so rushed but he still held me so firmly, I don't even let Dally pick me up because I feel like he's going to let me fall. I didn't feel that way with him. There was such..." I heard her breath hitch a little and I knew she was asleep, though I finished my thought anyway "There was an ease about being with him." It was the truth, in a raw, deeply damaged way, it was easy to let him put his hands on me.

I shook my head, trying to exspell those thoughts from my head "I'm probably not the only girl who's thought the same thing." I sighed and moved to Heidi's bed since she lay spralled across mine

"What a day..." I breathed "What a curve ball of a day."

Reid's POV

Again with this, I know I'm dreaming, why does this happen so often now?

Here I was again sitting on the edge of a bed with black and red sheets in a dim lit room with arching brick walls, candles adorn the end tables and posts of the head board. Around the space were a few tall book shelves, some full some half empty but from where I stand, that isn't the focal point of this place.

It had been three days since I've seen Thiea in real life and it's been three nights since I've dreamt of anyone else. I can't lie and say I hate seeing her this way, leaning one hand up against the door frame looking timid and shy, all dressed in a soft white color, her skin looking radiant with a pale glow that practically out shown her lacy dress.

Oh the way she looked in that dress.

It suited her, suited her to a tee. The way the neck line bowed with the shape of her breasts, a sweetheart arch, how the material of the bodice was so thin I could see the way her peachy skin shown through it, and the way the light layers of tool and lace sent a wave of fabric from her narrow hips to pool on the floor all around her in a pretty nude white color. I had examined it a thousand time, I've even looked it up online to see if it was real or if I made it for her, but it was. It was very real. It was a Lazaro ball gown with a delicate looking flower belt with crystals in the center of the bloom, the swirling silk that created the neck line that cupped her breasts. My favorite part though, was yet to come.

She's going to call to me next.

"...Reid..." I closed my eyes and savored the sound spill from her petal pink lips.

"Here, Baby." I can't control what I say or do, it's a good excuse to call her that and give in to a feeling of finally having a place of my own. A woman of my own.

She smiles lightly, holding her hand out for me to take into my own as I stood to hold her. The dark locks of hair now had lost their grey and blue mates to a more classy pure black look. Her hair was up in twisted pin curls and swept to the side in swooping bangs behind her right ear while the other side was secured with pale orange lilies and white lilacs at the base of her neck.

The first time I lived through this dream the next happening surprised me to a point where I thought I had embarrassed myself in my own subconcious, I started to sing to her as we stood there her head on my chest, her arms around my neck and mine around her ever so tiny waist.

"You sit in the bath room and you paint your toes

I sit on the bed right now and I sing you a song

It's not always easy but somehow our love stays strong

If I can make you happy then this is where I belong

And I'd just like to say

I thank god that you're here with me

And I know you too well to say that you're perfect

But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me"

"Oh," she gasped taking my face in her left hand and she turned her pretty blues upward to my own and tried her best to find my eyes "You are the greatest man I have ever known..."

"...I love you, Reid."

I woke up blankly, no emotion, no sudden jolt of alertness, just opened my eyes and sat up. It's so shocking to hear those words come from her, from anyone even. I can't stand not knowing what happened after her decree of love, did I say it back to her? Why we were so comfortable together, like it wasn't the first night?

"Fuck this..." I grabbed my Ipod and decided to go out for a run.

"Hey, what's goin' on?" I heard Tyler ask behind me, I ignored him.

The second I got outside I ran, hard through campus, just in my grey sweat pants and a white wife beater. I ran hard enough for long enough i couldn't think about anything else except how badly my lungs burned and how rough it was to keep moving on my aching legs.

This was risky though, I have been avoiding Theia since that night in the elevator. I wanted her tightness wrapped around me and then I'd have been alright, I could have been done.

Now, I stopped running and leaned up against a building and the outskirts of the east wing, I want more from her.

After an hour or so of running I came back to my dorm taking the stairs, passing a C+ hook up on the way. As I pushed the door at the top of the steps open, a familiar name was called out by someone who shouldn't ever be allowed to say it.

"Theia, where are you going?" asked Caleb as I looked down the hall to the elevator where she turned around and smiled at him. She wore a tight white v-neck t-shirt with sleeves that went almost to her elbows. Her legs were clad in simple everyday dark blue jeans, hugging her bowing curves. Her little feet in heavily loved high top Chucks with the tongues shoved down into her shoe, exposing her sockless toes.

"The fuck are you doing?" My curiosity got the best of me as I ducked back into the stairwell

"I uh-" she stammered and backed away from a door "I was... I was just gonna talk to someone."

"Oh, is it important? Because I was wondering if you wanted to go to the park with me." he offered "You know, get some fresh air. Talk." he smiled at her

"Oh," she paused "...No, they can wait." She smiled back slightly, chin down, hair in her eyes.

"So, would you like so come with me then?" He asked taking a slight step toward her.

"Say no, say no..." I urged with my mind

"Yeah," she smiled again for him "I'd like that."

They walked down the hall making small talk as they walked down the hall to the elevator where I claimed her and she said she'd be with me.

"In here!" laughed Caleb as he took her by the hand and led her inside, I didn't see him let go.

"God damn it." I whispered while walking down the hall.

I didn't need to guess who she wanted to talk to, she had stopped at my door to talk to me. Her warm little hand print just beginning to fade from the dark wood was still clear as day. I put my hand next to it until it vanished completely.

As it did Tyler opened the door, towel around his neck, tooth brush still scrubbing in his mouth.

"Holy hell!" he gasped, eyes so wide they'd put Bambi to shame "The fuck is wrong with you today, dude?"

"What?" I snapped back to reality with a jolt of hostility.

"Are you okay?" He asked more hesitantly now.

"Yeah," I quickly grabbed a pair of jeans, changed into them and then clad myself in my black System of a Down hoodie "come with me."

"Uh... alright." I rushed out to the parking lot. Tyler followed me closely down the stairs, bypassing the elevator and the walk way Theia knows completely. "Where are we going?" he asked

"Park. I gotta see something." I shot back

"What could possibly be in the park for you to look at?" he asked "Seriously? I just spat out a fist full of Aqua Velva with no chaser to look at daisies?"

I grabbed him and crouched behind the bushes next to the shrub lined side walk. Between the willow trees I saw Caleb leading Theia down a cobbel stone path to a concreate table with romantic stylle carvings of arches and faces on the corrner posts. the two I could see were of goddess like women. Caleb sat her down by the end of the table nearest the faces and took her small hand in his larger, rough one and placed it on the face of the motherly looking woman.

"I know where we are." her lips arched upward in a quiet rememberance

"Do you remember?" he asked crouching down to see her pale features through her hair.

"Yes," she paused, trying to find his face "This is where we first met."

"And our first kiss."

I was stunned. He'd kissed her before me? Her sweetness and all her perfection belonged to Caleb first.

"Woah," breathed Tyler "I didn't know they dated. I also didn't know you stalked her, what's wrong with you?"

"Shut up, I wanna hear." I punched his arm lightly

"I didn't forget." She straighten up a little, almost defiantly "Then Sarah moved in." Caleb looked down low and scratched the back of his head in thought. "I definitely didn't forget."

"You know that's not how I wanted that to happen." he tried to defend himself

"Well that is how it happened. I've made my piece with you, why the sudden interest?" she took her hand from under his and placed it on her lap.

"I've thought about it a lot and..." he took her hand again "I've missed you. I missed the way you blush when you're nervous." She laughed lightly "See?" He smiled "That! That's another thing I miss. I miss how you laugh out of pity, seriously I'm not that funny." Caleb put her hand on his face and his other palm on her leg. "And I really missed waking up with your hand on my face with you wrapped up in my arms."

"Caleb... no more." she sighed "Why are you doing this?"

"I just wanted to talk to you." he looked taken back

"You want to talk after Sarah moved away. You can't have her anymore some I'm, what, your back up plan?" He opened his mouth, trying cover his ass. "I'd like to go back to my room." She moved to stand and start following the stone road back to the dorms.

"Wait," he chased after her, catching her by her upper arm "that's not how I meant to say that. Just, go on a date with me. Please, Theia."

"He's begging. How pathetic." I sneered

"Dude, we're hading in the bushes."

"I... I don't-" He interupted her

"Just one date. As friends." he smoothed the fabric of her shirt with the back of his hand gently. It made me want to snap his fingers. She huffed.

"As friends." Theia agreed "Now, just take me back to my room would you?"

"You got it." He smiled. They walked away Caleb setting the date for Wednesday at eight pm, he'd make reservations he said.

"Reid, you have a serious problem." Tyler grabbed my shoulders to make me focus "You need help. You're a stalker."

"No, I have possessive issues. Waaay different." I started to walk back to the dorms "Theia is mine, I called her."

"You could tell that to Caleb." He offered "Or would that be too easy? You know, swallowing your pride and all."

"Of course I'm gonna tell him." I walked quickly being sure to beat them both back to the rooms

"Come on man, don't be like that. As far as he knows you don't really even know her. It's not his fault, he was after her first." he reasoned

"I saw her now, he had his moment, it's gone. That girl is mine." we hurried back to our room, entered it and as Tyler finished getting ready for the day, I waited by the door, leaning against it listening for her light footsteps.

I eventually heard the elevator ding from down the hall and a light tip-toeing and a matching loud clunking footfalls beside the more airy pitter patter. Once I heard the good byes and the loud steps leading away, I made my move. I walked out of my room, straight down the hall to her door and knocked on it three times. From inside the room I heard her reply.

"There you are Hide, I thought-" she opened the door "you said you'd be here when I got back." She paused "Hello?"

"Hey." I breathed taking both her shoulders with my palms and sliding them down to her waist,moving her back into her room, shutting the door behind me.

"Reid?" she asked putting her arms between us.

"Yeah," I murrmurred in her ear "miss me?"
