I walked with Sarah and Kate back to their dorm room. I couldn't believe myself. I had almost kissed Evan. But the weird thing was, now, thinking clearly, I knew that for a fact; I felt nothing for him. But then, I had felt like I was in a haze… under a spell. Sarah and Kate kept casting me glances. "Okay, whatever you're thinking; stop. Because it's most likely inaccurate." I said, rolling my eyes at their immaturity. We stopped in front of the door, and I turned to them, saying, "Now, where's the key? Open the door."
They both looked at one another expectantly. "What?" Kate said to Sarah after a few moments of silence from the two of them, which is very rare, mind you.
"Oh no." Sarah groaned.
"So, wait, you don't-" Kate started, but Sarah cut her off, shaking her head.
"Uh-uh."
"What? Oh, come on! I thought you had it."
"And I thought you did!"
"Well, I forgot."
"You guys forgot your keys?" I said, irritated, but laughing, unable to keep a straight face at a time like this.
"Umm, yea, for like, the sixth time this month." Kate shot at Sarah.
"What? Oh, come on! This is so not my fault!"
"Guys, um, hello, powers?" I whispered the last word. My eyes went black as the door unlocked, and they pushed me into the room.
"Geez, why don't you just shout 'Here I am, Chase! Come and Get me!'" Kate hissed at me, closing the door behind herself.
"What? Okay, look, it wouldn't be a problem if you guys remembered your keys every once and a while."
"You're almost as bad as your boyfriend, A.J." Sarah said. Laying out on her bed.
I flopped down in an armchair after shooting her a look. "Boo hoo, I can use as much as I want. He, on the other hand, will be castrated if he doesn't cut back. And Kate, if you make any reference to us possibly, and I quote, 'doing the nasty', so help me God, I will obliterate you." I said.
"You're no fun, you know that right?" She complained. "And speaking of your boyfriend; does he know about your new boy toy?"Kate asked, pulling off her uniform, and pulling on a robe as she got ready to take a shower.
"What are you on about?" I asked, flipping on their TV with the remote, checking what was on, annoyed at her prior comment.
"Just your new… friend, Evan." Sarah said, exchanging a look with Kate.
"You two need to stop; now. That's all he is. A friend. I love Reid, okay? Nothing will change that. Especially not some guy who I just met. He's my photography partner, you idiots, that was why we were
alone together in the courtyard, okay?" I said, completely not even mentioning the fact that we almost kissed, hoping they hadn't seen that.
"Oh. Well. This changes things, doesn't it? Gods, Sarah, I told you it was nothing." Kate smirked.
"What? Oh, come on! You were the one in a frenzy! I told you not to worry!" She threw a pillow at Kate. "Just take a freakin' shower."
"Your wish is my command." She said, running out of the room.
"I'm gonna kill you if you tell Pogue!" I shouted after her.
"So, I take it I can't tell Caleb either?" Sarah smirked.
"You bet your ass." I said.
After Kate, Sarah took a shower herself, and then we started getting ready. I straightened Sarah's hair, and then put in temporary blue streaks; I was practicing to see if they would work for the party at the dells next weekend. I then went to her clothes, pulling out a floral print blue top and a jean skirt along with blue strappy heels.
Kate had decided to grow her hair back out again, and it was growing fast, past her shoulders already, and straight (as always). She pulled on a light pink, silk, spaghetti-strap tank top, and a flowing black skirt with high-heeled black boots.
I then pulled on a tight-fitting, sparkly, silver tank top and tight, black jean shorts with a pair of silver stilettos with strings that laced all the way up to my knees. My hair was pulled back into a ponytail, but Kate curled the hair coming out of said ponytail. She put sparkles on my cheeks, and we were good to go.
"Who's picking us up?" I asked as we walked outside our dorm room, waiting to be picked up.
"Reid and Tyler." Kate said and I rose an eyebrow. " Pogue and Caleb are meeting us there." She explained. She was suddenly smirking at us as she continued on to say, " I bet you fifteen bucks that Reid is driving."
"Twenty-five says that Baby boy's whining about it." I said, happy to take part in her bet.
"Fifty says you'll loose you're patience with him and tell him to shut up and grow some balls before we even get in the car." Kate countered.
"Now, now girls; be nice. Maybe, just maybe, Tyler actually grew a pair and is driving this time." Sarah said sternly. Both me and Kate stared at her blankly for a moment and then at each other. Both me and Kate suddenly burst out laughing. "Okay, so not very likely. But still, I feel someone should take his side." Sarah confessed.
"Aw, baby boy can take care of himself." I said. We all started at each other for another moment, and all three of us broke out laughing.
"Hello ladies." I heard Reid say as he draped an arm around my shoulder, kissing my cheek. His lips lingered by my ear as he whispered, "Wow, Baby D. You look way to sexy tonight. I might have to bang a few heads… maybe bring a bat to keep all the guys off of you. You should get all dolled up more often." At this, I blushed. The 'D' in Baby D was for Danvers. Baby D was his new little pet name for me.
He wore his trademark black fingerless gloves, a black polo shirt (which was way dressed up for Reid), a golden chain I had gotten him for Christmas last year, a pair of dark jeans and a black, silver-studded belt, and a pair of black sneakers. He looked hot. "So should you, honey. You look hot." I said, kissing him on the mouth, but I pulled off his black, fingerless gloves and pulled them onto my own hands.
He rose an eyebrow at me. "You know, you could always just ask me to buy you a pair, considering you always steal 'em from me."
"You know they look sexy on me."
"Trust me, I'm not complaining… that's why I'm getting you your own pair for Christmas." He smirked at me.
"Aw, baby." I said, kissing him again.
"What was so funny before? What did we miss?" Tyler asked, sending Kate off into another fit of giggles.
Sarah shook her head as I rolled my eyes. "Come on." We said, pulling Kate after us.
"This time, I drive." Tyler said as we reached the car and started searching his pockets for his keys. Tyler looked pretty cute too, in a dark-blue shirt that was stripped with white that was unbuttoned to reveal a white undershirt with an identical gold chain around his neck (I had gotten all of them a gold chain for Christmas that they always wore) and a pair of light blue jeans with white sneakers.
"Oh Baby bo-oy." Reid said in a sing-song voice, holding up Tyler's keys.
"What the huh?"
"Don't leave 'em on the dresser if you don't want me to take 'em." Reid smirked, hopping into the driver's seat.
"But- Oh come on Reid! Can't you let me drive my car for once! Dude, come on!" Tyler whined, annoying me. I knew Kate would win the bet, but I couldn't help myself.
"Oh shut up and grow some balls, Baby boy. Just take the 'effing keys." I said. "Better yet, let's have a change of pace. I'm driving."
"What?" Tyler exclaimed.
Reid rose his eyebrows as I opened the driver's side door. "Move over, sweetheart." I told him.
"Does Baby D wanna drive?" He teased me.
"Damn straight, Baby D most definitely wants to drive. Now, scoot." I said, referring to myself in the third person. Reid moved over to the passenger seat as I climbed into the driver's side of Tyler's car.
Kate laughed, punching her fists in the air. "Yes! Sixty-five bucks and Alice is driving! Sweet!" She said, having driven with me before. She then pushed a very unsure looking Sarah and a very irate Tyler into the backseat, before climbing in beside them, pulling the door shut.
"Actually, I get forty bucks, and you get fifty." I said, adjusting the mirrors.
"What? Why?" She asked.
"Because Reid isn't driving, is he?" I said, and the grin found its way back onto her face.
"Oh, right!" She said. Both her and Sarah handed me twenty bucks each, and then Sarah and I both handed Kate twenty-five each.
"Okay, what did I miss?" Reid said, laughing.
"You mean the short version? Well, Kate, Sarah and I were waiting for you guys and we got to talking and… let's just say that I can't resist a bet." I smirked.
"Wait, what? What bet?" Tyler asked.
All three of us girls just laughed. "Buckle up, everyone." I told them.
"Alice, do you even have a license?" Tyler asked nervously as everyone else in the car buckled up.
"Hmm… um… I don't recall. What's a license?" I said, putting on a clueless looking, talking in my baby voice. "Hey baby, do I have one of those?" I asked Reid who was currently trying his best not to laugh as Tyler turned multiple shades of red and purple.
"Hm, I don't think so… not that I know of." He smirked back at Tyler, playing along.
"ALICE!!" Tyler shouted at me.
"Yes! Alright?" I said, dropping the baby girl act. "I got it in July. Now buckle up and hold on." I said, buckling up myself as Tyler buckled as well. I then glanced in the mirror, putting the car in reverse, pulling out and shifting gears into drive as I pushed my foot down hard on the gas. I was loving; the nervous almost scared look on Tyler's face, the look of excitement that Kate wore, how Sarah seem to be torn between being elated and concerned. But what really made me happy was the look of pure joy that was upon Reid's face.
I smirked, wanting to keep that look on his face. I looked at Reid for a moment and then back out at the road. "Hey, Baby, what do you say we take the short way?"
"I say that depends," Tyler interjected sternly, sitting forward in his seat. "What's the short way?"
I glanced back at him with a secret smirk. "The fun way." I said, in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.
"Fine by me." Reid smirked, knowing what was on my mind.
"Me too." Kate said, grinning, also knowing what was about to happen. "But Tyler, you might wanna sit back for this one."
He did, but then, a look of worry crossed his face. "Wait a minute, what's the fun wa-"
"Then let's do it!" I shouted, pulling the car into a quick U-turn, driving the car off the road and into the woods. "WOO!" I shouted. "Hold on!" I laughed, testing the speedometer's limit.
"STOP IT, ALICE! THIS IS CRAZY!" Tyler shouted as they flew back and forth in the backseat as I weaved sharply through the trees, carefully avoiding hitting each one at the last moment.
"BABY BOY, YOU KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT CRAZY IS HOW I ROLL!" I shouted, making another sharp turn.
"Come on, Baby boy, don't be such a wuss!" Shouted Reid, who was holding onto the dashboard, laughing.
"WOO-HOO!!" The girls shouted.
They all screamed as I launched us off of a fallen tree over a broken fence, my eyes turning black as I gripped the steering wheel tightly so as to keep control of the car. All of us were bouncing as the car slammed into the ground hard.
"ALICE, IF YOU WRECK MY CAR-" Tyler shouted, gripping his seat, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
"I'd like to see you try, Baby boy!" I said, tossing my head back with a laugh. I then gunned it, shooting out of the woods and onto the road, mere blocks away from Nicky's. I took a sharp turn, drifting for about seven seconds and then straightening myself out on the road, then moving forward like a shot-gun. "SWEET! TOLD YOU I KNEW A SHORT-CUT TO NICKY'S!" I shouted as I slid into the parking lot.
"Yea, well, that, and a way to shorten my lifespan!" Tyler said, holding onto the back of my seat now for dear life as I skidded the car to a stop, lining it up perfectly in the space.
"TAH-DAH!!" I shouted, using my little kid voice again, putting the car into park. "Well?" I asked, blinking my eyes back to normal, reverting to my normal voice.
Reid took my face in his hands, kissing me hard on the lips. He pulled back, saying, "You're amazing, Baby D, you know that right?"
"Yay!" I said, looking back at the others. Tyler had turned a pale shade of green, looking as if he wanted to puke. Kate looked excited; wired, as if she would bounce off the walls like the energizer bunny. Kate looked halfway in-between being scared for her life, because Caleb had always told her how careful we had to be, and actually enjoying herself. "So…?"
Kate was grinning like a maniac as she said, "You know that I abso-freaking-loutely adore you, right?" I laughed, nodding as I grabbed her hand, squeezing it tightly.
"How about you, Sarah-bear?" I asked, turning to her.
"You know Caleb would utterly kill me for saying this… but that was fucking awesome!" She said, grinning at me.
I then looked to Tyler, who was holding onto the door. He pushed the release button on his seatbelt as he heaved. "Are you okay, Baby boy?" I asked, concerned as he pushed the door open, tumbling out of the car onto his knees, upchucking.
"Ehmagawd!" Kate shouted, her and Sarah getting out quickly. "Tyler?"
"Are you okay?" Sarah said as they helped him stand. Reid and I exchanged a look as I tossed him the keys, getting out as well.
"You will never, never, EVER drive my car ever again." He said weakly as I fell back against Reid, laughing like a lunatic.
"Oh, come on, don't be such a baby, it wasn't that bad!"
"Lemme guess," I heard Caleb say, and Reid and I sprung apart. I turned to see Caleb and Pogue jogging over, looking amused. After I kissed both of them on the cheek, Caleb continued on to say, "You let my sister drive, didn't you?"
"How'd you know?" Reid asked.
"Well, for starters, that's most people's reaction after driving with her for the first time." He smirked and then continued on. "That, and I saw you're parking job and I had not a doubt in my mind that it was her." He then turned to me, saying, "Sorry sis, I love ya, but you are one crappy driver."
"Hey! That hurt! I was the one who taught your sister to drive!" Pogue said.
Caleb glanced at him, and then back at the others. "… Yea, right, I rest my case. Why do you think I won't get her a car?" All the others laughed as I pouted, crossing my arms.
"Hey! No fair! Come on, Caleb, I want my own car! Please!"
"Yea, com on Caleb, I've let her drive my motorcycle before, and her driving was really tight." Pogue said, smirking.
"Yea, maybe that's the problem." Caleb grimaced.
"She… was dri-dri-drifting!" Tyler sputtered.
"WHAT!?" Caleb shouted.
"Really? Sweet! For how long?" Pogue said with excitement as we walked toward the entrance, Pogue and I arm in arm, earning himself a look from Caleb. "Oh, I mean, uh, uh-"
"It was hella tight! She even cut through the woods!" Reid said, coming up beside us as Kate and Sarah helped pull Tyler into Nicky's.
"And you think I'll get you a car." Caleb scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief.
"oh come on, Caleb." I whined, and then turned to look Pogue, using my little kid voice again. "Pogue, tell my brother I should get my own car." I whined to him.
"Caleb, she should get her own car." Pogue said automatically, looking to my brother, earning himself another glare from my brother, "What!?"
"Well, she sure as hell will never ever drive my car ever again!" Tyler said as Kate and Sarah helped him fall into a chair, the two of them sitting down at the table as well.
"Oh stop being so over-dramatic!" I said, rolling my eyes at him.
"But you used!" Tyler hissed at me, the color back in the face, looking a lot better.
"Ah, geez." I cringed, squeezing my eyes shut. I knew what was coming next.
"You what!?!" Caleb exploded. "Alice, you know how I feel about you… you know." He whispered harshly. "There go your chances of getting a car until you are THIRTY!" He hissed.
"No fair!" I said, crossing my arms angrily. "Fine then." I suddenly had a thought. "I want a motorcycle, then." I announced.
"WHAT?!" Caleb shouted; I had caught him off-guard.
"Oh come on! Please!"
"Yea, Caleb, I think it's a great idea!" Pogue said, taking my side.
"Pogue, you are, once again, officially NOT HELPING!" Caleb shouted at him. "Reid?" Caleb said, looking for help.
"I think a motor cycle would be super sexy." He smirked, snaking an arm around my waist. I shot him a look, but Caleb didn't react at all. I was shocked. Maybe we didn't have to worry so much anymore…
"Great. Well, you're no help at all. Sarah? Kate?" He said, turning to the girls.
"I'm not in this!" Sarah said, throwing up her hands in a mock-surrender type way.
"I definitely think you should get it!" Kate said excitedly.
"Tyler?" Caleb looked at him, practically begging for an ally of some sort on this particular issue.
"You already know my stance on her driving any type of vehicle whatsoever." Tyler said.
"There. You see?"
"But Caleb!" I said, whining once more.
"The answer is no! No, no, and no! And since I know that you're gonna ask me again, no! Okay? It's for the best, Alice." He said as he hooked an arm around my shoulders, resting his head on one of my shoulders.
"Well, I dunno, I think a motorcycle would be pretty hot." I looked up to see Evan and his cousins.
"Oh, Evan, hi." I breathed, smiling, my cheeks growing hot. Reid, Caleb, and even Pogue all tensed. Reid tightened his grip, his arm holding my waist even more firmly then before. Pogue slid his hand down my arm, clasping one of my hands in his own, while Caleb held me tighter. Pogue then motioned Kate and Sarah.
"Is that the one?" Pogue asked them in a barely audible whisper. Oh but I most definitely heard it.
"KATE!" I shouted.
"Oh, fuck." Kate winced as I shouted, and smiling in a pained sort of way. "Um… yea, sweetie?" She said anxiously.
I exhaled loudly, gritting my teeth. "Ya told Pogue, didn't you?" I said lividly.
"Yea, um, I may have, um, mentioned… it… or something like that…" She said, rubbing the back of her neck nervously. "Well, I didn't tell Reid or Caleb!" She blurted out.
"I hate you." Sarah hissed at her.
"Uh-huh." I said in an irate way. "Well then." I said, cocking my head to the side. "Sarah, you told Caleb and Reid." I said, shooting her a look.
"It… slipped?" She said with a nervous smile and a shrug.
"You guys know you're dead?"
"We know." Kate said with a noise of displeasure.
"Is everything okay?" Evan said, looking amused.
"Oh, um, ya, don't worry about it." I smiled at him warmly.
"Oh, these are my cousins," He said. "This is DarcyCaldwell." He said, pointing to the redhead. "And Brooke Daniels." He said pointing to the brunette.
They both gave a little smile, and Brooke waved, chancing a "Hello."
"Hi, nice to meet you. Um, well, I'm Alice Danvers. This is Tyler Simms, one of my best friends. Pogue Parry and his girlfriend, who also happens to be one of my best friends, Kate Tunney; her roommate, and my brother's girlfriend, Sarah Wenham, and my brother, Caleb, and this is-"
"Her boyfriend. Reid Garwin." Reid said, holding out his hand to shake. Caleb and Pogue both looked at me, and Caleb mouthed 'Boyfriend?' I just shrugged, but I knew Reid's foolish slip-up was gonna cost us.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Evan. Evan Marcus." He said, shaking Reid's hand. They both clenched their jaws, and I realized they were both squeezing each other's hands as hard as possible. Brooke rolled her eyes at her cousin, and Rachel giggled. I, on the other hand, didn't find it too funny.
"Kate… Sarah… get over here!" I grimaced. "What exactly did you tell them?" I hissed at them.
"Well I don't know if I specified anything exactly-" Kate started, but I grabbed her ear. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Katelyn Evangeline Tunney," I hissed at her. "you tell me what you said right now!"
"Ow! Ow! OW! Okay, okay! I spill!" She said, and then went on, quickly and quietly, saying, "Sarah and I may have said we caught you flirting with this yummy new transfer student who you almost kissed, then insisted he was just a friend, and yet invited him to Nicky's." She spilled and I let go of her ear.
"Aw hell." I said as she rubbed her ear. I turned, looking up at Reid, "Reid, I-" I started, but stopped; him and Evan were still in the squeeze match. Reid had his face turned away from the others, blocking his eyes from anyone else's line of sight as they turned black. I blatantly glared at him as Evan pulled his hand back, rubbing it gingerly. "Reid, can I talk to you for a sec?" I said, my voice twinging with a hint of aggravation that seemed apparent to Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, Kate, and even Sarah.
"Yea, sure baby." Reid said, obviously unaware of my irritation. We broke away from the others, walking outside.
As soon as we were out, I smacked him in the stomach. "OW!" He shouted, looking at me incredulously. "What the hell was that for?!"
"That's what you get, you prick." I told him angrily, hands on my hips.
"Hold on, why am I a prick?" I shot him a look. "No, I mean, I know I'm a prick. That much is obvious. But why are you mad about it? You never are! You usually laugh your ass off when I'm a prick! So what did I do, huh?" He asked, putting his hands hesitantly on my shoulders.
"The others may not have seen you, but I did. And let me tell ya, buddy, I am soooo pissed at you." I shouted, my eyes narrowed.
"What? What did I do? What do you?" He said, confused.
"Back there!" I said, jerking my thumb at the door that lead back into Nicky's. "You used! For a handshake! A freaking handshake, REID! Could you be any more ridiculous?" I screamed. I then turned around, punching the wall next to the door of Nicky's, cracking the wood. "UGH!!" I let out a cry as I felt the pain shoot up my arm. "FUCK!! Piss me off, piss me off, piss me off!" I muttered, shaking my hand in pain. "DAMMIT!" I shouted as I clenched and unclenched my fist.
"Look, I'm sorry, okay? But from what I heard-"He started, but I cut him off.
"Damn it. I'm gonna kill Kate and Sarah… no good, lousy, loud-mouth best friends." I muttered darkly, under my breath, interrupting him.
He gave me a look. "Let me finish." He said as he came towards me slowly and cautiously as I clutched my recently fucked-up hand. "From what I heard," He continued, "and from what I've seen so far… he was coming onto you. I'm sorry, I just… lost control. I felt that I had to do something. I don't want to loose you to anything… or anyone. I care for you, Alice, can't you tell?" he said, stopping in front of me. He then added, with a smirk, "And it doesn't really help me that you're so damn hot." I blushed, smiling for a moment.
I quickly stopped smiling, narrowing my eyes. "Stop making me smile while I'm being mad at you." I said, pouting, using my little kid voice. He smirked wider, detecting that there was no real battle left, and that that victory was easily won from here on out.
"But I love you." He said, causing me to flush even more. "Besides, would I be human if I weren't even a teensy bit jealous?"
"But you aren't human…" I said in my little kid voice.
He moved forward, putting his hands on my shoulders, glaring at me as he pushed me against the wall and said, "You know what I mean, Alice."
"Yes, I do… Oh, I can't stay mad at you." I said, still using my little kid voice, getting up on my toes, kissing him on the lips. I then changed back to my normal voice. "Reid. I… I love you." I said seriously. "Please… be careful… with me… with my heart."
"I will." He said, taking my hand in his.
"Ow!" I shouted, drawing back from him, rubbing my hand.
"You know, you probably shouldn't punch walls like that. I hear it's really very painful." He said, smirking at me again.
"Shove it up your ass, Reid." I growled, looking at my throbbing hand, whimpering as I touched it tenderly.
He rolled his eyes at me, saying, "Come here you, let me look at it." He clasped his hands around my wrists, pulling me to him, causing my breath to catch in my throat as he slipped off the fingerless glove carefully, handing it to me to hold in my other hand. He then proceeded to examine my knuckles. He
was gentle and quickly, so much so that I could barely feel his touch. "I think it's broken." He told me, shaking his head at me. "You reckless thing…" He murmured.
"You're one to talk."
"Regardless, I'm not the one who broke her hand punching a wall." He told me. He looked up at me, saying, "I think I can fix it… if I'm aloud."
"Do I really have a choice?" I asked.
"Nope!" He said, looking very proud of himself.
"Alright then." I sighed. He put his other hand over my broken one, his eyes turning black, and a moment later, the pain was gone. He took the glove back from me, slipping it on him this time, stealing the other one, slipping it on his other hand.
"I want these." He smirked. Then he looked at me, grabbing my waist, pressing himself against me, my back now firmly pressed against the wall, causing my breath to catch in my throat again. "I want you too." He whispered huskily in my ear. I bit my lip to keep from moaning.
He captured my mouth, and I slipped my hands around his neck, kissing him back with urgency; a need almost. He grabbed hold of my thigh as we continued to kiss harder and more passionately, and I whined as I gripped the hand on my thigh with my own hand as his hand slid up my thigh, hitching it up on his hip. My other hand locked into his silky blonde hair. We broke apart, panting, but his mouth then traveled to my neck, biting and sucking any skin he could find, his free hand sliding up my hip and I moaned, biting down on my lip.
"Reid…" I said breathlessly. "Not here." I continued on. "Let's go to my house."
He nodded. "Let me call your brother." He said, disentangling himself from me. He pulled out his cell phone, dialing Caleb's number. "Hey, Caleb? Yea, your sister isn't feeling well, so I'm taking her home. Tell Tyler sorry that I'm taking his car." He paused. "Okay, right. I'll see you later, Caleb. Bye." He hung up.
"What's up?" I asked.
He smirked. "You're brother isn't gonna come home tonight. He said he'd be spending the night at the dorms…"
"Let's go then." I said, pulling him toward Tyler's car.
