Forbidden Love

chapter ten

Fantasy by Alina Baraz & Galimatias always reminds me of Reign and Tobias <3
I just wanted to kindly remind everyone that this story is copyrighted and if I find out that you stole it in any way I will find out and you will face problems. So please, don't steal my work in any way.

I felt like Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events should have been written about me instead of the Baudelaire children. Although nothing happened between Julian and I it felt like we had an eerie connection while Tobias and I had a lustful one. Sitting in this restaurant with them both here caused tension in the air, and I wasn't the only one that noticed it.

"Are you okay Reign?" Noel asked with concerned. I looked up at her and then back to Julian, who was sitting at the end of the table.

"How do you know him?" I asked, nudging my head slightly to him.

She looks in my direction and brightens a little. "Oh, that's Julian. He's Scott's cousin."

"Of course he is," I muttered. Of course all the guys I have feelings for have some sort of relation to Scott.

"Why? Do you know him?"

I took a bite of my fry and tilted my head a little. "A little. We met at the grocery store on Halloween. I don't know, there was something about him."

Noel's face split in a grin. "Oh, you like him don't you? I can so help you in that department!"

My eyes wondered to Tobias briefly, but I saw him in a deep conversation with Scott.

"I don't need your help in that department. Your luck with that so far has been terrible. Besides, I don't like him."

"Aw, c'mon Reign. He's a doctor! He dedicated a great portion of his life to become one and now he needs to start a family. I know who he can do that with," she said, nudging me softly.

I coughed on my drink earning a concerned look from Tobias. The whole night we've been stealing little glances at each other but we never actually said anything. It was beginning to drive me crazy. I wanted to talk to him, but I didn't want Noel and Scott to find out that I slept with him. I told Noel I had a one-night stand but never told her that I had another.

"Please, I'm too young to be married, no offense," I mentioned after looking at her frowny face. "And I'm not ready to have kids yet either."

"You don't have to do those things now silly. But soon, though," she said, wiggling her eyebrows. I laugh at her and stuff my face with another fry.

"Okay! Can I have everyone's attention?" Noel yelled, using her very authoritative voice.

All the bridesmaids and groomsmen look at her at once and even Scott looked a little surprised.

"I just wanted to thank you all for helping Scott and I in any way. We are so grateful for you all. We're just glad to have you guys part of our wedding."

Noel's hand found Scott's across the table and I could actually see the love being shared. I looked at them longingly. They seemed content with each other. I glanced up and noticed Tobias looking at me. I wondered how long he was staring. Just then a beeping noise interrupted the moment and everybody looked at the what was causing the noise. Julian was holding up his pager and had a panicked look on his face. Rachel and Charlotte had a scowl on their face and for once it seemed like I agreed with them.

"I'm sorry Scott. Duty calls," he stuttered, pulling his coat over his long lean arms. "I'll try to come over later. Congrats again."

"Don't worry about it man," Scott said, getting up from his seat.
