Not You Again

5

REIGN

Clark returned back to our room pretty late last night. He said that Amara got back late and she was upset so he left out of respect.

Now in Ethics, there's no sign of the both of them. For once I'm the early one. There's a few minutes left before the class begins so I'm hoping they appear.

And just like that, the door opens and they both walk in. Amara is wearing a black shirt and black skirt with a scarf wrapped around her neck. As she sits beside me, I notice the subtle bags around her eyes. As if she were crying or not sleeping well.

I place a hand on her, "Are you okay?"

She retracts but then calms down, "I'm okay."

Looking at the clock, I grab her hand and pull her up. "We're ditching. Marissa I'm going to steal your friend."

She looks up at me and nods, "Take care of her."

"Woah when did I agree to this?" Amara tries to argue back but I ignore her. As soon as we leave the class, I walk her to my car. She stops infront of it, "I am not stealing a teachers car!"

"This is mine."

She frowns, "I don't believe you."

That's when I flash the keys then open it up for her. She proceeds to sit inside, then we start a quick drive. I know a place, it's secluded and calming.

Once we get there, she follows me to the bench located in the far hidden part of the area. We're by the woods, but it's known for its view as there's a cliff not too far from here.

Once she sits down, I grab my zoot and start to smoke up. To my surprise she takes it from my hand and starts to smoke herself.

"So what's on your mind? Clark said you were upset last night."

"And why would I tell you?"

"Because I will leave you here. Stranded and lonely."

She scoffs, "The date...he wanted more and I didn't."

I feel myself grow angry, a state of rage I've never felt before. "What did he do?!"

She places her hand on mine, "He didn't do what you think he did...he wanted to but I told him to stop. So he took me home and called me a slut."

"You know that's not right. He shouldn't have even tried."

"I know..."

"Is there anything else on your mind?"

Amara kind of bites her bottom lip, making me almost groan at how bad I'd kiss her right now. It's been a while...Clark was right.

"It's nothing..."

"You know something funny," she looks up at me, "When I first had sex I slipped off the bed and cracked my head open."

I watch her finally smile widely while the cloud of smoke coats us. "Okay now I feel better."

I place a kiss under her ear, "Good."

We spend about an hour just sitting and looking at the nature. There was occasional comments between us but it was mostly us just trying to relax. "Reign," I look at her, "I heard Clark mention that you get nightmares. He let it slip to us by accident so don't be mad."

I shrug, "I'm not mad...but yeah I do. I've suffered from that and sleep paralysis for years. I've found smoking to help."

She nods, "Can I try something when we get back?"

"Sure."

AMARA

We got back one time for our other lectures. Marissa asked me what had gone on and I was honest but she thinks that more went on. Apparently Clark has told her that Reign hasn't stopped smiling since she's been back.

But I've made her suspicions worse by asking her to leave the dorm tonight. Reign will be coming round as I want to try something. Marissa is more than happy to spend the night with Clark though.

"Shall I bring condoms?"

I shrug, "Do whatever you want."

She hums, "I'll bring a pack. Just incase."

I chuckle, "I can't wait to hear about your adventures tomorrow."

She squeals then grabs her stuff and leaves. In the process, Reign walks into the room and shuts the door behind her. She sits on Marissa's bed, looking directly at me.

"So."

"Yup?"

"What's your plan?"

"I have gotten us something to eat..."

She raises a brow until I pass her a gummy. "You got me edibles?!"

I burst out into laughter, "No idiot. I knew you'd think that...come on. I'll make you some tea."

"I don't like tea that much."

"You'll like this one."

After making the camomile tea, I pass it to her and allow us to drink it while watching a TV show. Once she's down drinking it, I tell her to lay her head on my legs so I can massage her head.

That's when I hear some yawns.

But then she turns around and wraps her arms around my waist, laying in between my legs with her head on my belly.

I can't help but find myself start to feel exhausted too. She's clearly very much asleep and unaware of what she's done but it's a comfortable position.

Turning my laptop off, I turn off my side lamp and allow myself to sleep.

REIGN

God I have slept so well. Looking at my watch, I have slept for over seven hours. As I look to my right, I have Amara's head on my chest as she wraps her arms around my waist.

Her left leg is propped up and snug against my bottom half. Everything she moves, I feel a small tingle of pleasure as she grazes my area.

Yawning, my door then slams open with Marissa and Clark walking in. The two look at us, with surprised expressions. Amara gets up and walks towards them, grabbing the coffee they have. She passes me one then heads to the bathroom.

I rub my eyes, "No need to slap the door."

Clark looks at me weirdly, "How'd you sleep buddy?" Then he throws a pillow at me, indicating down. I immediately get it and hide the tent.

"I slept really well. And no nightmares at all."

He smiles, "I'm guessing you both had a good night?"

"It was alright."

Amara works back and that's when I end up staring at her short shorts. Damn...

"Reign!"

"What?!"

"Stop staring, we have to get changed for class." Groaning, I get up and walk over to Amara. She looks up at me while sipping on her coffee. I can see like a permanent blush on her cheeks.

"Umm thanks for last night. Can I we do it again tonight? I have a test tomorrow and need the sleep again."

She smiles, "Sure. But you're bringing food."

"Yes boss."

We leave the room and I have Clark hounding me the entire time. He wants to know every detail of the night. But it was pretty straight forward.

Still one of the best nights of my life. I feel so refreshed.
