Getting Tucked In

Caleb grimaced as a thought passed through his mind. "You think she'll want to go shopping before school starts?"

The other three boys shuddered at the mention of the word. Tyler was the first to realize that no on had talked when he spoke up. "I hope not."

"AH. You guys are no fun. I thought you were going to be happy to come along."

Miranda laughed at the younger girls humor. "I think not, dear."

"Oh no. Com'on mom … you're the one to talk? You spend days shopping."

"I do not!"

Pogue gave his mom a stern look. That look made her cave instantly.

"OK. Ok, you win honey. So none of you are coming with us? We're really going to need some muscle."

"And good suggestions. Com'on … please guys?"

"Fine." Grumbled out all of the guys.

Tori gave a tiny squeak of excitement and launched herself into Caleb's arms. He hugged her for a little, while she thanked him. She moved on to Tyler and Pogue. By the time she got to Reid she had almost forgotten why she was hugging and kissing the boys. Almost.

It all came back to her then. She resorted to smile at him and thank him. She walked off, leaving one confused boy, three happy boys and one intrigued Mrs. P. All of a sudden, slender arms encircled Reid's waist and warm lips made contact with his neck. Just as fast, he was released and left even more confused than before.

One difference was clear. He wore a tiny smile that showed how amused he really was by her. His hand reached around to the back of his neck - he touched where she has kissed him and his smile grew instinctively. He walked out of the kitchen without a word to anyone.

'Oh this is interesting.'

They had spent an evening of browsing and buying different things. After some wolf whistles (provoked by some very 'nice' pieces) and a quick lunch they headed back to Danvers Manor. They were exhausted and as they flopped on the couches around them, a collective sigh released.

"Since I got you into this - I'll go get some drinks." She turned to walk out of the room when she realized she didn't know which way to go. "Caleb? I don't know which way to go." Caleb laughed and guided her into correct hall.

They arrived at the kitchen and Tori set out to gather the cups. Caleb opened the fridge and removed a pitcher of iced tea.

"Caleb could you get me a lemon?"

"Yeah sure."

He passed her the lemon and she skillfully cut into rings and placed one on the bottom of each cup.

"So, everything is okay? You seem to be handling things well."

"Yeah. Things are good. So far."

"So far?"

"Yeah. I have yet to see this school, you guys seem nice but what about the rest of Ipswich?" Caleb laughed. She had good instincts.

"Well I can't say everyone will be nice but you won't lack friends. I seriously doubt you'll have any issues there."

"Ok. Ok, stop being so darn cute. Where is this school anyways?"

"It's not so far from here. And as student body president, I am obliged to tell you that your stay at Spencer will be a pleasant one. Don't worry - I'll give you a tour and you'll adjust quick enough."

He answered in an almost mechanic tone. They stood looking at each other before they broke out into laughing fit. Reid walked in at that moment and the frown that formed on his face only encouraged the laughter. Reid's frown merged into small smile; shaking his head he turned and left the kitchen.

"Hurry up with those drinks." Reid called out from the hall.

They headed back to the sitting room with a tray filled with their drinks and sugar cookies.

They arrived at the sitting room a few steps after Reid. The group struck up some conversation about normal stuff but that didn't last long. They couldn't help getting comfortable around each other and soon enough they were all horsing around with each other. It seemed so easy for them to joke and taunt each other. They had bonded those last few weeks, that was clear. Even to the watchful eyes of Tori's new mothers.

'So what if we watch them through the security feed - we have our reasons.'

Once it started getting darker, the moms headed out to their respective homes taking with them the guys. Reid and Tori filed out last, saying their goodbyes and getting into the sleek Corvette. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Reid felt ha had to say something to pass the time.

"Any chance you'll model some more for me tonight?"

"Hmm … I do have some things from Victoria's Secret none of you got to see."

Reid's response to that comment was amusing. His right foot pressed harder into the accelerator and a slight smirk formed on his lips. Tori couldn't believe he thought she was serious.

With his smirk in place Reid had to test 'the waters' with what she had already said.

"Really?"

"No."

"What? What do you mean no?"

"You couldn't seriously think I'd do that. Com'on now Blondie."

"Disappointment." Reid muttered softly.

Tori stiffened at the sound of those words. Reid knew he had done something by the look on her face - something bad. Tori turned to look out the window. She didn't want him to see her hurting. It didn't work.

"Tori? Tori, I didn't mean to get you upset. Tori?"

"What Reid?"

'Oh man, she must be really upset if she's using my real name. Shit I have to fix this.'

"Com'on tell me what I did wrong."

Tori hesitated but ultimately answered him. "She used to say that all the time. Whenever I did something wrong or 'stupid', she would play that card on me."

"Oh. My dad used to be like that."

"I guess we have that in common. The all mighty expectation for perfection. Did he die?"

"Yeah. A few years ago. He had an addiction he couldn't shake."

"Sorry."

"Don't sweat it."

"Ok, but I'm still sorry."

Tori leaned back and placed her hand on his arm. Their eyes met for a split second but that was all it took. Reid didn't see the pitied look he expected but rather saw her true emotions. She was truly sorry. He didn't want to deal with that. He sped up and they arrived at the house in a few more minutes.

After taking in her bags, Reid gave Tori the five cent tour of the house. She would get to see the whole place another time, first he needed to get her into a room. He backtracked on the rooms of the house, how they were decorated, where they were and thought hard. He remembered a room not far from his that he thought would suit her. He led her there and left her asses it for herself.

The room was absolutely amazing. The walls were a deep rusty color. A few scenery photographs were placed along the walls. Their stylish black frames bringing out the black and white pictures to perfection. In one corner was a comfy looking black futon (definitely for guests). A lamp and small coffee table were placed near by. Across from her door was the one thing she had missed most about home.

A four poster bed with chiffon enveloping each post was placed beneath one of her large windows. Tori approached the bed and smoothed down her comforter. The comforter was a dark greed color and felt almost like silk through her fingers.

A light knock drew her out of her thoughts. Moments later, Reid strolled into the room with a sly smile. He took a seat on her futon; typical Reid stance in place. His legs spread just so with one leg on the other half of the futon. One arm placed on the back of the futon so that every muscle on his chest was enhanced.

"Damn, and I thought I was gonna walk in on you half naked."

"Ha. Ha. Funny. Can I help you? This is my room right?"

"Yes. This is your room. I thought you'd like it. I'm suppose to give you the full welcome. Want me to tuck you in?"

"Hmm …."

'Come to think of it doesn't sound bad. Lets see here ….'
