Torn Between Two Lovers- Reed Deming Fanfiction

Torn Between Two Lovers- Part 4

(This may be a bit confusing. I'll be switching POV's A LOT in this part, just so y'all know. Try your best to follow along xx)

Reed's POV

Taylor swung open her front door, gracefully approaching me in the most beautiful turquoise dress. It had a belt that started in the middle of her rib cage, a sweetheart neckline- what can I say, my mom likes Say Yes To The Dress- and sparkly ruffles down the skirt.  She took my breath away. Then, a small minivan pulled up next to me. Krista stepped out. 

Though she wasn't in a fancy dress, just in a pair of jeans and a t shirt, she was equally captivating. 

Krista and I ran inside, just as Pam pulled up not far behind us. 

I placed my present on a table in the living room and sat down on the couch.

Taylor's POV

Reed seemed nervous. I kept catching him glancing between Krista and I every few seconds, almost as if he was unsure of something. 

He got up and went to the kitchen, grabbing a handful of chips. I snuck up behind him.

"Meet me outside in two minutes." I whispered. He nervously looked at me, but agreed.

I followed him outside, trying to be the least suspicious that I could, though I could tell Krista and Pam sensed that something was up.

I quietly closed the door behind us, leading him into the most hidden corner of our yard. 

"What's up with you and Krista?" I nervously asked.

"What do you mean?" 

"Are you two like..." I paused. "A thing?"

He glanced around nervously. 

"Well?" 

"I guess not, no."

"Why do you say it like that?"

"Well, I just don't know."

We stood there. We didn't say anything for a minute, just stood there. 

Reed's POV

"Look, Taylor." I turned towards her, taking in a deep breath. 

I looked deep in her blue eyes. 

"Don't worry about Krista." I took a risky move. Gently, I pushed a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. A small smirk grew on her face. "It's you that I love." 

Her eyes widened a bit.

"What?"

"Trust me." My hands grazed against her cold jawbone. Ever so slightly, I pressed my lips to hers.

Krista's POV 

I glanced out the back window, trying to catch a glimpse of Taylor and Reed. What I saw broke my heart. I ran over to the couch, flopping down and burying my head in Pam's lap.

"I loved him! I have for years! I thought for sure he loved me!" Tears flooded out of my eyes. 

Pam gently slipped her legs out from under my head.

"Stay here. I'll be right back." 

She went outside for a minute, but not returning. Only Reed came back in.

Reed's POV

I saw Krista, makeup staining her cheeks. 

"What's wrong?" I draped my arm around her shoulder.

"I loved you! I always have! Then you go blow it with some stupid new girl who you met four days ago!"

I was shocked at her statement. 

"You loved me?" 

"Yes! Why can't you understand that!"

"Krista, look at me." I pushed her face so it faced mine. "Honestly, I've always loved you."

"Then why did you go kissing some girl you barely know?"

"Trust me." I tenderly brushed my lips on hers. 

She stared at me, wide-eyed. 

"I'm going home." She grabbed her coat, storming out of the house while calling her mom.

Taylor's POV

I cam running inside at the sound of the door slamming.

"What happened?" 

Reed put his hands in his head. 

"Krista said she's always loved me, so I wasn't thinking and I kissed her and she stormed out. I don't know what I could've done to prevent this."

"Shh. It's ok. We'll figure this out, don't worry."
