Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 20 Be Patient
The more I started thinking about going on a “Date” with Reagan the more I felt like I was going to throw up. “Hey Josh who’s all going?” I tried to sound casual but it’s not the way it came out. If he noticed he didn’t let on though. “Just the usual group, everyone is home for once.” “So is Bryce going?” Josh came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist brushing his perfectly straight teeth. “Ya, Bryce decided to come home to help his dad out I think he’s bringing someone.” “Anyone I know?” Josh went back into the bathroom to spit. “I don’t think so, she’s local but he didn’t say who it is.” It’s been a long time since everyone was together. I was actually kinda looking forward to it. The “usual” consisted of Josh’s high school friends who graciously accepted me into their little group. “Does Reagan know anyone?” the thought just occured to me that they all went to school together. Josh didn’t answer
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 21 The Talk
My phone buzzes again, I don’t need to look to know its another call from Steven. I’m gonna have to call him before I go out tonight but I decide to jump in the shower first since it takes so long for my hair to dry. It’s like its a sponge just soaks up the water. The moment I stop blow drying it thinking its dry is when it becomes damp again. It gives me time to collect my thoughts. I should’ve ended things months ago the second I noticed him wanting more. I’ve never “dated” anyone for as long as I’ve dated Steven, almost nine months. In the beginning it was the perfect arrangement. He is married to his work and very successful. We met at a charity auction where we were seated with all the other “singles” of course. Neither one of us had time for a relationship. We were both tired of being placed at the singles table having to make small talk with people we didn’t know. Or worse sitting with the same single guy at each event and turning him down multiple times.
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 22 Wanting More
Aunt Linda just shook her head at us. “Don’t let your Daddy hear you say that” she gives me a hug “Now you two get outta here before I kick you out!” she laughs as she ushers us to the door. Riggin takes his eyes off me long enough to give Aunt Linda a hug and a kiss goodbye and the stupid butterflies that have taken up residency in my stomach take flight. He reaches his arm out to me. “Shall we?” he winks as he say’s it. I take his arm and we walk to his truck. I lied to Riggin the first time I saw his truck. I was actually in love with it. I just didn’t want him to know. He opened the door placing his hand firmly on the small of my back as I climbed in. I quickly secured my seatbelt as he jumped into the driver’s seat. The truck fired up with a loud rumble. I tensed when he put the truck in gear but he didn’t move forward until he buckled up. I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until he looked over at me and winked. “Safety first” he teased me laughing. I force
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 23 Not the Usual Crowd
Riggin Did she just say she wanted this to be something more? I’m not sure I heard her right, I think my heart just stopped beating. I can tell she’s nervous she keeps biting her lower lip. I let go of her hand and get out of the truck running over to her side. She’s twiddling her thumbs in her lap even though I can’t see them I can tell. I open the door and she jumps. “I think I need some clarification here, you want to know if I want more than a business relationship?” I turn her body so her eyes are level with mine leaning in close to her. The smell of her perfume is intoxicating but I need to think straight right now. “As in you like me and I like you in the traditional sense of the words” It comes out as a whisper and I’m not sure why. “Yes that’s exactly what I was meaning but never mind it was a stupid idea anyways.” she says putting her hands on my chest and trying to push me away. “I just thought that if I was seeing an ex like you are it would be easi

“As you wish, no special treatment tonight.” Issac laughed enunciating “special”. I didn’t like the way he was looking at her but Reagan ignored him. She gripped my hand hard under the table where no one else could see. I could feel her shaking slightly. Yet the rest of her seemed very composed. Everyone ordered, Isaac gave Reagan a wink before he left and she just rolled her eyes at him but I felt her shudder. No one said a word. All eyes were on Reagan as she pretended to check her phone. I noticed that Steven was calling her, she sent him straight to voicemail. Finally Tanner spoke up. “So what’s you’re usual seat?” Reagan looked uncomfortable. My hand started to go numb from her grip. “I’m really sorry about that, I just... sometimes bring business clients here. I usually take them to a quieter area is all.” I could tell she’s not being completely honest, there is more to it than what she’s saying but now is not the time to ask her. “So who do you work for?” Krista asked.

Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 25 Knocking at the door
“REAGAN HOPE SUTHERLAND!” a female voice shouted above the noise. A brunette girl was standing at the table staring Reagan down. Her hands were on her hips and she looked angry. “I am gonna kill you!” she said it not as loud but in a stern voice that sent a chill through me. Reagan choked on the water she was drinking. She seemed to be in shock not moving or saying anything just meeting the girls stare. People started to stop and watch as the brunette stood there waiting for a response. The brunette was taller than Reagan by about two or three inches but they probably weighed about the same. Reagan seemed to be frozen until another voice I don’t recognize joined in, a male voice. “You’re gonna have to wait in line.” he appeared behind the brunette. I didn’t recognize him. He looked about six foot even with dark brown hair. He was smiling at Reagan in a way that made me uncomfortable. Instinctively I pulled her closer to me. If I thought she was tense before it was nothing compared t
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 26 Jason
Riggin doesn’t move he doesn’t even look at her his eye’s are on mine. I am frozen where I stand, he is waiting for me to say something. But I can’t find the words just like earlier with Jordan his jaw tightens. He’s upset I don’t blame him. “I think I’ll cash in now” I hear Jason’s voice as he grabs my arm jerking me towards him. Apparently not noticing the awkward moment Riggin and I were having. Not now Jason! Not now! Is all I can think but I didn’t say anything. I turned my head back catching a glimpse of Riggin as he took Sheri in his arms dancing away! Crap now I’m in Jason’s arms and I can’t hide from him. I want to scream at him then go rip Sheri out of Riggin’s arms,but I have no right to interfere, after all I’m the one who should be staying away from him. “Penny for your thoughts” Jason’s voice brought me back to him, his brown eye’s bringing back too many memories that I can’t handle right now. Jason was Mason’s best friend. I used to joke that I didn’t marry Mason I m
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin Ch. 27 Parked Truck
Riggin I wasn’t sure where we were headed but I knew I didn’t want to go home yet. Reagan was lost in thought and for the time I was ok to ride in silence. My mind was swirling. I couldn’t stop thinking about our dance earlier “I’ll deal with the guilt in the morning.” what did she mean? Guilt... at first I just thought she was playing me. Like I was another game like Steven, but she really seemed upset that I heard her. Then Jason and Sheri butted in. Just thinking about him dancing with her made my blood boil. I couldn’t pull my eyes away from them. Maybe Sheri will finally be able to take the hint. She sure was mad enough at me. Reagan didn’t look like she was enjoying herself but I couldn’t quite tell what was going on. He upset her enough to send her running for my truck. Something happened between them but I wasn’t sure if she would tell me what. Aunt Linda’s words kept echoing in my mind,”Be patient.” “Watcha thinkin about?” Reagan was the first to br

I wait for her to make a move first, taking her in and giving her a chance as we circle each other. Her footwork is great she is light on her feet but she is leaving her right leg open to me. I jab at her head to knock her off balance but I don’t shoot. I’m curisous what she’s got and I promised Jack I would go easy on her. “Come on girls stop stalling” Jack yells and a slight smile flashes on Jennifer’s face as she lunges forward grabbing my head. I lock on to hers as she tries to snap. I grab her wrist. I don’t pull on her right away though I let her think she has the upper hand.She tries to spin me and I keep it controlled but I can tell she thinks she’s has me and I’m just waiting for her to make her move. She’s cocky which is going to be her downfall. I keep her close to me not letting her swip my leg. I snap on her softly not wainting her to know I’m just toying with her at this point.She goes for my leg and I whizzer on her, but I let go of her jumping up without attacking h
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 30 Jack & Jennifer
Jack was waiting when we arrived looking chipper as ever. “Hey Jack this is Riggin, Riggin this is Jack my coach.” I said turning between the two of them. The confusion on Riggin’s face was priceless. “Nice to meet you Riggin, are you going to get on the mat?” Jack asked looking Riggin up and down. It took him a moment to realize what he was talking about. “Haven’t decided yet.” he said. Now it was my turn to be surprised. I gave Jack a hug as he checked me out. “What happened to your eye?” I had forgotten about the cut above my eye. Before Riggin could fill in the blanks I hurried and answered. “It’s nothing I tripped and hit my head no big deal.” I played it off. Riggin tensed up but didn’t say anything. “I’d tell you to go easy but I know better than that.” He said in a serious tone.Jack is one of the only people who takes me as I am. He doesn’t try to sugar coat anything and thats what I like most about him. “So I know you aren’t big on girls but” Jack started saying grabbing

“Tiny wait! I’m sorry!” Mason said grabbing my arm. I tried to pull away but he was stronger than me. He pulled me close wrapping his arm firmly around my waist as he kissed the top of my head. He knew how much I loved when he did that, he also knew I honestly couldn’t stay mad at him. “Mason you know Jason and I are only friends, I can’t believe you’d ever think that.” I couldn’t help the pain in my voice.The tears were threatening to break free. “I know, I know, I was just jealous…” the panic in his voice was evident as he held me tighter. No, no not this time, I’m not letting him off the hook this easy,“Mason just take me home!” I said breaking free of him and heading for the truck. “Tiny its late lets just stay at the hotel like we planned.” He pleaded with me. “No Mason you can stay I’ll drive myself I just want my own bed.” I started to walk around to the drivers side. He placed his arm on the truck blocking my path and opened the passenger door. I climbed in not bothering to
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 28 The Surprise
We drove in silence as I followed the directions Reagan had placed in my phone. She stared out the widow biting her lip as we drove. “Do you want to tell me where we are going?” I asked her. “Umm ya it’s just up the road we are almost there.” She said. We had been driving for a couple miles and I hadn’t seen a house. Finally as we turned a corner a two story farm house came into view. “Pull down that driveway” she pointed at the house. I pulled down a long driveway that wrapped around the back to a garage that looked like it could be a separate house. The porch went all the way around the house with shrubs that were spaced a foot apart. The white railing matched the white house that had large windows everywhere. A solid red brick chimney rose out of one side of the house and the brown shingles blended in nicely. The second flood had three windows that popped out of the roof which I imagined are connected to three separate rooms. The yard had a lush green lawn that looked perfectly ma
