Reese

“Well there are things you can put in the sprinkler heads to help such as sugar. The unwanted guests will attract a ton of mosquitos and it shouldn’t hurt your lawn.” He shrugged and nodded when Grey offered him a glass of water. “Water’s good.” Reese looked down remembering the day he got stitches and the horror. “I went to watch the Mayor’s speech and some drunk decided to drive into the crowd.” He took the glass and thanked Grey, then took a sip. “He sent me here to see if you can offer some pointers dealing with fans.”

“I didn’t mean like lights or noise, more like something less annoying... like sprinklers.” He suggested, though he wasn’t sure how bad Grey’s fans were. “I just call him D to make it easier. I’m good, my stitches should dissolve soon,” he motioned to the rag on his head as he stepped inside, “what about you?”

A soft chuckle fell from Reese’s lips when he was asked the occasion for the massive breakfast. “Broken heart, mainly.” 

It had been a while since Reese last talked to Georgie, well a week. But still a lot had changed in his life in the blink of an eye. Sitting at the park, leash around his wrist, Reese began writing in a notebook he had bought with him. He wasn’t writing anything in particular, just random thoughts and things he needed to tell Georgie once he saw her, granted she could figure them out on her own. Moments later he heard a noise and saw Georgie sitting across from him. “Before you find out from someone else I wanted to tell you I quit my job at No Strings Attached. I am also preparing to move into a temp home here.” He started and heard growling from beneath him before feeling his pants being pooled on and picked up the small chow puppy only to be bitten. “He’s teething.”

“It’s not just the accident with me. I think it may take me longer to move forward, but I’m determined.” He listened to Kami mention the pizza and thought for a moment. Snickers was the one he normally turned to when ordering a pizza. “Thin crust.” He said more like a question. “My little brother Snickers can create amazing pizzas. Trying to remember is hard.” His voice got softer as he spoke. “Barbeque sauce, chicken, mushrooms, pineapple, sausage.” He finally remembered. 

Reese smiled wider when the male mentioned remembering him. “The healing is going great. I’ve gotten used to taking care of my head, I do have some side effects, but it’s nothing that effects my work. I think having my head split open and sown back together has given me a different outlook. I’m taking time to focus on myself and my family now. I’m taking my future more seriously. Are you sure I can’t buy you a drink?” 

A lump formed in Reese’s throat, he knew he must’ve hurt her more because he wasn’t expecting her to accept his feelings. He wasn’t expecting her to say she likes someone else either, but he forced out a smile. “Thank you for telling me.” He did his best to keep it up. “I want you to be happy even if it’s not with me. As long as you keep smiling, I’m happy.” He smirked a bit and heard a doctor calling him. Reese stood up, hiands in his pockets and started to walk. “He better treat you like a goddess.” He turned to walk into the room, the door hitting behind him.

Reese listened to Georgie, she was right, everything got better eventually. Instinctively, he kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back. He didn’t know if she wanted to talk about what was going on in her life, but that was ok. As long as Georgie and his family were ok, he was ok. “If you’ll be my star I’ll be your sky. You can hide underneath me and come out at night. When I turn jet black and show off your light, I live to let you shine. I live to let you shine. You can skyrocket away from here and find another galaxy with more room to shine just leave me your stardust to remember you by.” He sang softly to her hoping to help her relax more.

“I don’t know, but I completely agree with you. I love music s much that....” he trailed off as he thought. “Never mind, but I love a lot of different music genres. I tend to get annoyed when people ask me to turn off the music.”
