End of the Summer Date

Reyna didn't really know what to say back to that, and so she nodded to his words and bit on her lip a bit. She considered her words carefully before asking, "Ryan, have you ever been in a commited relationship before? Or has it always been sex with you?" She looked at him curiously, wondering if maybe she had crossed a line. She knew he liked his privacy, but she was honestly just curious.

"i was in one a few years ago. She didn't break my heart or anything. We went our own separate ways. Besides that it's been sex and shoet relationships."

"Oh." Was all she could think of in response, wondering if she should supply the same information about herself. Guessing that it was only fair... "I've dated, but no one really stuck. Most just wanted what they wanted, and when it was clear that wasn't going to happen, they dated other girls. Which was fine by me." Reyna turned ger gaze back to the sky and stars, but continued to speak. "I did date this guy for a year though. He was the only one I had considered..sleeping with I guess. Anyways, he cheated on me. Got tired of waiting around for it I suppose." She shrugged uncaringly.

"I hate when people cheat. When I'm in a relationship I won't cheat. I'll see a few girls when I'm not officially with them but once it's official the rest of the world doesn't exist. When I'm really with someone it's just me and that girl. I don't pay attention to the others." He kissed her cheek. "If we make us official we won't have sex until you're ready. I won't rush you. When you're ready I'll be ready." He turned her face to kiss you again. "That guy was an idiot, you're amazing."

Reyna smiled at his response softly, and kissed him slowly and deeply. She finally pulled away when she was in need of air, and leaned back against him and sighed contentedly. "That's reassuring. I'm not the only amazing one around here you know. Though I know you already think highly of yourself, I think you're rather amazing like this."

"I know I'm amazing Reyna. You don't have to tell me more than once. But I'd rather focus on you over focusing on me. I think you're amazing no matter what Beautiful." Ryan wrapped his arms around Reyna a little tighter. He whispered without noticing he spoke out loud. "Don't ever make me let go." And with that he held her closer to him and kissed the top of her head.

Hearing his whisper, and the way he held her more closely and tightly than before, Reyna wondered what had changed in Ryan Black. He was still conceited and a jerk, but she noticed she herself was seeing less and less of that side of him. Reyna could only think of one thing to say back to him. "Don't make me make you let go." She whispered back.

Ryan realized he whispered his thoughts outloud to her. He facepalmed himself mentally. Now he had no choice but to go with it. "I don't plan on it." He moved her head to him again and gave her a single kiss. He picked up his butterbeer and sipped it.

Satisfied with his response, Reyna looked back to the stars, marvelling at how pretty and bright they were here at Hogwarts. It made her think about how close she was to having to leave the castle for good. She sighed softly. "Are you going to miss it? Once you graduate I mean. Think you'll miss Hogwarts? You don't seem like you would, but I can never really tell with you."

'No I won't miss it. The seven years were long. It's time for me to go out into the world ans start my real life. I'll miss some people...like you but that's it. I'm going to keep in contact with you and hopefully see you next school year." Ryan smiled. He knew she was going to question him.

Reyna nodded thoughtfully. "I think I'll miss it alot. Hogwarts has always been my home away from home since I first came here. I rather like it more than being at home to tell you the truth. Atleast here I have people to talk to and be around." She confided. Reyna never really talked about her family, mostly because she wasn't ever on good terms with her parents, and was one line from crossing into not being a Faulkner. Being pureblood was alot harder than alot of people knew or understood, and for the most part she envied those who didn't have the familial responsibilities and duties that came along with it. "Anyways, what are your plans for after Hogwarts? If you don't mind me asking of course." She didn't want him to think she were prying. She was just curious.

"After I leave you can come find me and spend some time with me. Maybe a night or a weekend. Anything you want. My plans are easy. I plan on staying at my family's house and then getting a job. I'll have a new girl over every night and I'll have fifteen kids." He pulled her tighter to him and kissed her cheek. "I on'y want one girl with me every night and she's in my arms right now. But seriously I want to get a job and make my own money."

Reyna rolled her eyes. Figures. "I'm sure I'll have better things to do than hunt you down Black. You can come find me if you want though. As for the new girl every night, thats very charming of you. I would feel bad for them if it weren't for the fact that any girl stupid enough to hop into bed with you of all people deserves what they get." She knew that came out a bit harshly, but she really was getting sick of it all. If he wanted to flaunt his ridiculous sex life, then he could do so with someone other than her. She was honestly tired of hearing about it. Like it wasn't bad enough she had to it from one her friends.

Ryan knew he was messing up. He didn't want to mess up. "Hey hey come here you." He pulled her close to him. "This isn't about sex. It was just a joke. The only girl I want by my side is you and not for sex either. I like holding you Reyna. And I also like to kiss you. I didn't know that was a problem. Here I am putting this all together for you and you flip out over one joke. Looks like I know not to anything nice for you." Ryan sighed and kissed Reyna's head. "Reyna I...la" He caught himself just in time before he messed everything up.

Reyna sighed. "Ryan, it's not that it bothers me. Honestly. I just rather not hear about it. I already know what kind of guy you are. I don't need to hear the jokes. I'm sorry Pup. I really do appreciate everything you did tonight. It's perfect." She murmured softly to him, shifting her body so she could kiss him. She hesitated and looked at him questioningly when he started and stopped, cutting himself off. She smiled at him and pressed her lips to his, kissing him gently and slowly.

"I'm sorry Reyna. I'll try not to mention it too much anymore. You still look perfect Reyna. You're so beautiful." He wanted to think fast of something to say. "Sorry about that I meant to say I lost something but i found it." Ryan kissed her back the same way she kissed him. "Come here you." He laid down and pulled her on top of him so he could kiss her easier.

Laying on top of him, Reyna grinned at him amusedly. "You lost something?" She snorted and rolled her eyes. "Keep tellin yourself that Black. Maybe one day you'll have the balls to admit the truth. You love me." And with that, she kissed him passionately, putting al her emotion for him in it. She pressed her body fully against him, half for the warmth his body against hers provided, and half to tease him. She slipped her hands into his hair, tangling her fingers in it softly.

Ryan felt a lump in his throat. He didn't want to cry, he was dumbfounded. He could lie or he could admit it. He rolled them over so he was on top of her. Ryan sighed. Before answering her he returned the kiss passionately and lovingly. "I do love you Reyna Alice Faulkner."

Reyna smiled up at him radiantly, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I know. Don't make me regret loving you back Black." She pulled him down to her and kissed him sweetly and slowly, closing her eyes. Finally, she was willing to admit it. She was in love with Ryan Black.

Ryan smiled down at her and lightly ran his thumb over her cheek. "I don't plan on making you regret anything. My job is to make you a happy beautiful girl." He kissed her back, he didn't want to pull back so he didn't. For once he was ok with a slow kiss.

Kissing him now felt all the more different. Reyna let her emotions flow through it, and she found herself never wanting to let him go. She would allow herself to admit that being in his arms, and at his side, was where she wanted to be. Where she was supposed to be. She deepened the kiss, and pressed up against him, wanting to be as close to him as possible. But all too soon, air became an issue, and so she reluctantly pulled away. Smiling up at him, she ran her fingers through his soft hair. "I'm happy right where I am Pup. In your arms."

Ryan nodded. "I'm happy with you right here in my arms. Now come back down here and kiss her I wasn't done with you just yet." He smirked at her and started to kiss her again. He moved slowly and this time he didn't bite her lip he wanted it to be clear to her this kiss meant a lot to him. He pushed her body deeper to his.

Reyna sighed happily before meeting his lips with hers, and let herself get lost in his kisses, and affection. If she were being honest, there wasn't anywhere she would rather be at the moment. Or anyone else she would rather be with. Ryan made her feel every bit as special as he said she was, and when in his arms, she felt cared for and loved. She had been able to feel it for a while now, but she didn't want to admit it to herself. Until now. So she just kissed him back, every bit as lovingly as he kissed her, and she arched up against him, wanting the closeness as much as he seemed to.

Ryan kept kissing Reyna he really didn't want to stop. He teasingly put her hand in his shirt. "Beautiful those are all yours now. All of me is yours." He grinned and kissed her again. This was the first time he was ok with just kissing and enjoying the person he was with. He wasn't thinking about anyone else except her. Ryan Black fell in love for the first time.

Reyna loved the way he kissed her, but rolled her eyes at his teasing. "It better be all mine Black." She shot back with a smirk, before kissing him back. She ran her hands up his up, over his chest and back down again lightly, enjoying the feeling and heat of his body as she kissed him passionately.
