Monday evening, and Reggie and I made plans to meet in secret. Standing in front of my bedroom mirror, I sigh as I stare at my reflection. Twisting my face and losing myself in my thoughts, I fuss as I adjust my shirt collar.
Should have been Reggie and Evan and I ...
Should have been ...
... But he's having problems with Alecto again.
Frowning and turning away from the mirror, I reach down and scoop up the jacket I've left draped over the foot of my bed.
Apparently she's putting the screws to him.
She desperately wants the two of them to be back together.
And he thinks she's gone so far as to trail him lately.
Certainly wouldn't put it past her, hateful she-devil.
Alarmed and outraged as I am at the thought of Alecto harassing Evan, I force myself to take a deep breath:
Perhaps it'll be ok ...
Perhaps she'll get a clue and leave him alone.
I mean, honestly, why would you want to be with someone who so clearly doesn't want to be with you?
A final glance back at the mirror as I run my fingers through my hair.
But if she causes him any trouble ...
- Any trouble whatsoever -
... I'll go to war for him.
Slipping on the closest pair of shoes I can find, I hesitate for a moment more, my mind drifting back, for the hundredth time now, to my night with Evan just a few days prior:
The two of us scrambling to shed our clothes so as to put our hands and lips all over one another's bodies ...
Evan and I, panting and moaning each other's names over and over and over again ...
I stand there, eyes shut and shivering as I recall how he'd felt.
... I'm already craving him again.
Clearing my throat, my accelerated heart rate not slipping my notice, I smile as I consider Reggie:
Reggie
Reggie, with his irresistible understated way
Strength in his softness
Ever surprising, ever on my mind
Reggie.
Biting at my lip, I shake my head at myself:
I'm such a fool for both of them.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
My thoughts, right back to Reggie:
We haven't been alone together in weeks.
So to know that in just a short time I'll finally be able to feel him again, touch him again ...
My intention wasn't to get myself hopelessly worked up, but as I touch the back of my hand to my forehead, I realise just how flustered I've become thinking of the two of them.
...
... With Mary out for the evening and the common room practically deserted, I figure I'll be out the door and on my way to Reggie without a hitch.
Would have been, could have been ...
... If it weren't for Remus entering the common room at the exact moment I attempt to sneak out.
