Dangerously yours

CHAPTER SEVEN

SKY’s POV 

I watch as Reid says goodbye to Luke and Jasmine, walks over to the passenger side and opens the door for me. 

"We’ll go with my car and drive back for yours princess." 

 "Fasten your seatbelt princess." Reid says, looking at me with those intense eyes. 

I huff in response but I still fasten them anyways.  

I bump my leg up and down nervously and cast shy glances at Reid beneath my eye lashes. Being alone in close proximity with him is looking to be dangerous to my senses. I can smell his Aftershave, it’s a heady scent, intoxicating in fact.

"Where are we going? Yunno I just got back so I don’t know anywhere and a lot of things have changed." Reid says. 

"Beside Mr Carlos Auto shop off Hudson lane, and not a lot has changed." 

"Ha, but it has. You are all grown up now with your own growing business, Reid is now a hot shot lawyer with a beautiful and rich girlfriend, I am back to open the center. Things have changed, hell even Mr Dexter’s candy store close to the park has closed down and been replaced with a Store." Reid says. 

"Yeah that. We all matured doesn’t mean we are totally different people. We are still family. It is really good to have you back home with us."  

"It’s good to be home. If I should be honest with you some days I didn’t know if I would make it,to the next day or back home here. I’m glad that’s all over now." He says in a gruff voice. 

"I’m glad it is too. I really missed you... I mean we all missed you." My eyes are all misty already. 

We relax back and enjoy Sam smith ‘Stay with me’  blaring through the radio. 

When I was in high school Reid picked me up from school most times. Some times with Luke other times he came alone. 

We always had so much fun. He would take me to the park and we would talk for hours about his shenanigans and mine too, we would get ice cream and candy. He was always willing to spend time with me and gave me attention even as he was a popular senior. His willingness to spend time with me heightened my crush for him. 

But now there’s an awkward air like we don’t know how to act around each other. 

Sam smith’s song ends. 

"You can check if there’s something else good playing."  He mutters.
