"Aw, you care about me." He smirked, looking back into her eyes as she got closer to him, which was his fault of course but he was enjoying the moment. He leaned in just a but closer, the ends of their noses touching. His smirk got bigger but he pulled away, lowering his knees so she could get up and end the torture.

Shannon could feel her skin grow hot as he leaned in closer. She couldn’t help but hold her breath as she barely felt the tip of his nose brush against hers. The stupid smirk on his face, she wanted to slap it off, but instead, she smirked herself. She would never admit it out loud, but she had fun messing with him, even falling out of the truck. She moved off him when he seemed to be letting her go. “I wouldn’t say care about you more so if you’re hurt you can’t drive back to the school.” She’d probably be able to handle it, but why should she when it was his truck. She stepped over him and back into the passenger seat, "Are we heading back to the school this time." She asked him, a smile creeping on her face, though the look she gave him dared him to try and take her somewhere else.

"I'll still take it as you care about me, my truck isn't too hard to drive." He said with a grin as he pushed himself up but his gaze caught on her and the way she moved around his truck, a few not so PG ideas popping into his head and her smile didn't help him. He tilted his head, unable to stop himself. "We could take a detour to the back seat." He said with a stupid grin, laughter dancing behind his eyes.

“Hmmmm,” Shannon said as she turned her eyes to the sky and actually looked like she was contemplating it. “No.” she closed the door with a laugh, but she could fell her chest and neck heat up at the thought of sitting in his lap in the driver seat, somewhere with the stars as the only light. She cleared her throat, wanting to seem normal by the time he got back into the truck. That was never going to happen, she figured she just needed a good romance novel to get it out of her system.

Reed chuckled, he figured that's how she'd respond but he had just been messing around. He brushed himself up and climbed back into the truck. "Your loss." He joked and shut the door, glancing over at her before shifting his truck into drive and went back through the field, ambling over the uneven terrain and heading back towards the school.

“More like your loss,” Shannon muttered, feeling like she’d dodged a bullet even though he had to be joking about taking her in the back seat. She rolled her eyes at how her imagination ran away with those images that wouldn’t come true even if she said yes. She let the silence fall between them for a few seconds, watching the terrain pass by and change from an empty field to hundreds of trees.

"Go ahead and tell yourself that." Reed chuckled as he drove, the road changing from rutted out dirt to smooth pavement and eventually the school came into view and this time he pulled into his spot next to Shannon with plenty of room for her to get in and out. He shut off his truck and hopped out, walking over to Shannon's side and opening her door for her.

Shannon rolled her eyes and waited for him to park, groaning slightly when he took the spot next to her, at least he didn’t block her in. She gathered her purse and the bag of books and waited for him to open the door, hating the way it made her spine tingle and her heart skip a beat, she deserved to be treated as a princess, regardless of who it was. “Next time, if you’re going to show me a good time, dinner under the stars doesn’t suck.” She stepped down next to him, looking him in his eyes. She wasn’t planning on going with him anywhere after today but let’s see him try. She opened the trunk of her car and walked over, immediately moving all the books from the very obvious bookstore bag to a Victoria Secret bag with tissue paper.

Reed looked back into her eyes, a grin breaking out across his face, "noted Princess." He said, closing her door behind and carrying her other bags over to her trunk, tilting his head as she switched the books into a different one, "do you keep spare bags in your trunk just for the books?" He asked her, somewhat curious as to what all the fuss was about but also a little amused that she'd hide something like reading.

Shannon stopped her task as she tossed the last of the bookstore bags into her trunk. She closed the lid before facing him, “Just the books.” She reached out for the rest of her bags, planning to carry it all herself, worried that if she let him carry her things to her room, he’d find a way inside her dorm room. Deep down, part of her knew she was the reason why, pulling him in after was something she suddenly played in her head.

Reed looked back her with a smirk, debating on holding the bags hostage again but wondered if he'd really be able to keep her talking to him if he kept pushing her buttons. He looked form her to the bags and back, a smirk curling his lips, "you didn't know? My offer extended all the way to your dorm." He said in a teasing tone.

Shannon narrowed her eyes at him, wanting to do horrible things to him, “I don’t remember agreeing to that.” She crossed her arms, wondering if he understood she would leave with just the books. She could figure out another outfit for her date. She just hated the loss she was going to endure, never seeing the clothes again. She sighed and muttered her breath, “You are to bring them up to my room and then leave.” She turned on her heels before he could answer and headed for the girl’s dorm, not planning to slow down. If he really wanted to, he’d catch up.

Reed stared back at her, ready to give in and give her the bags when she gave him what could only be described as an order. The tone of her voice causing a shiver to race down his back that wasn't entirely unpleasant. "Yes ma'am." He smirked and followed after her, ignoring his limp as he did his best to catch up and walk by her side.

Shannon wasn’t sure why she was going along with this, but she found herself slowing down as she dug through her purse for her dorm key. She didn’t want to think about wanting him to stick around, she wouldn’t admit this to him, but she did like his presence. It was growing on her the longer she was stuck with him. She had to send him away once her bags were dropped off. Once passed the front doors and down the hall, it didn’t take long for Shannon to reach her door and unlock it, finding her roommate not home.

Reed followed after her, hoping that this at least put him somewhere in her good graces, even if it was at the very edge. He looked from Shannon's back to her door, slowly stepping inside after her and held up the bags. "Just tell me where to put them."

Shannon pushed past him towards her room, “Just on the bed please.” She motioned for him to step it up and get movie, as if she would have more instructions for him, but she was at a loss of what else to tell him other than get lost, and she found herself holding back from saying it.

"Got it." Reed replied, surprised she was even letting him this far but didn't say anything as he set her bags on the bed, unable to stop himself from looking around the room. Once he was sure the bags wouldn't fall he took a step back, wondering when he would wear out his welcome. He glanced at Shannon again, tilting his head, "so...is this the part where you punish me for disrupting your day?" He asked teasingly.

Shannon stared at him, no emotion on her face, but her blue eyes flared with something. “No,” she said moving to stand partially in the doorway. “This is the part where you leave.” She said, wanting to add that they’d never speak again, but had a feeling he wasn’t going to leave her alone without a fight. Deep down she felt a spark that made her wish this was true, but her heart froze over with ice.

Reed chuckled, holding up his hands on mock surrender. "Fine, fine, I figured I was already pushing my luck." He said as he walked through the door way but paused when he was passing the, the small space pushing them together as he smiled. "I'll see you next time, under the stars " he winked at her before finally leaving her dorm, tucking his hands into his pockets, a grin on his face.

Shannon told herself to keep the glare up as he passed by, but she couldn’t stop herself from taking a deep breath as he passed by, she didn’t know why she cared. She hated how much she liked it. She rolled her eyes at him. “In your dreams.” She told him before slamming her door shut, knowing it would be in her dreams tonight, even if it wasn’t in his.

"we'll see." Reed snickered, already planning the next time he could whisk her away in an attempt to get on her good side as he headed back to his dorm.
