Chapter Twenty-One- Life changes.

~Reed's point of view~

We all had a blast at the graduation. It just so happens that I was asked to speak at it. It didn't bother me. I was excited to do it for Isaac. I didn't know until that night that he graduated high school at sixteen. He's a super-smart kid.

The island was even better. Holly and I had some really good quality time, even with everyone there. We made it home yesterday, and we went straight to bed. I pulled the guys aside and told them to give Holly and me a couple of days that we needed to talk. I have to tell her. I can't hold off anymore.

We are lying in bed. I'm awake; She is sound asleep. I love watching her sleep; I fall more and more in love with her every day.

My thoughts are cut off by a knock at the door. I ease out of bed. I make my way to the living room.

I'm instantly pissed when I see who is at the door.

Baxter: "DANE GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN!"

Reed: "Ssshhhh, my wife is asleep. What are you doing here, Baxter?"

Baxter: "Have you talked to her yet?"

Holly: "Talked to who?"

Fuck.

Baxter: "Wow, she's even more beautiful in person."

Reed: "Shut the fuck up, Baxter."

Holly: "As in Baxter, your agent?"

Baxter: "The one and only."

He sticks his hand out. She takes it.

Holly: "I'm Holly. Nice to meet you."

Baxter: "Oh, it's my pleasure. Reed, she truly is stunning."

Reed: "You don't think I know that? She is MY wife."

Holly: "Who is it your supposed to be talking to, Reed?"

Reed: "You Babe. I need to talk to you. I was going to today anyway."

Reed: "Baxter, you didn't need to come all the way from LA to tell me I need to talk to my wife."

Baxter: "Time is ticking."

Reed: "You gave me until Thursday. It's Monday."

Baxter: "You've known for weeks, Reed."

I look at Holly. She's getting pissed off.

Ty: "What the fuck is going on here?"

Holly: "Sorry if they woke you with their loud ass mouths. I'd like to know the answer to that myself, though."

Ty: "Reed, is this what I think it's about?"

Reed: "Yes."

Ty: "I warned you."

Reed: "I know."

Shannon: "Did I hear..."

Baxter: "Shannon!"

Shannon: "Baxter..."
