The lyrics to Daylight by Maroon 5 go perfectly to this chapter.

"Tobias, no."

A devilish smirk took over his face as he walked towards me. I began walking backwards, my hands out in front of me in a surrender motion. I bumped into my coffee table and  into my TV stand, but that didn't stop me from getting away from him.

"I told you my weaknesses out of confidence, not so that you can use them against me," I calmly said, even though my heart was racing.

Tobias snorted and maneuvered his way against my couch. I quickly jumped over my foot rest, gaining me a good foot away from him.

"You should know me by now. I'm not like most people you know."

I let out a nervous chuckle and began walking slowly towards my room, never leaving my eyes off of his.

"Let's make a deal, duh? You don't tickle me and I won't kick your ass. Seems like a pretty decent deal to me."

Tobias's eyes glistened in amusement. That's when I knew I was in trouble. There was no way he was going to give up now, no matter what I said or did. He lunged after me and I let out a shriek. I began running down my hallway and turned left. At the end of my hallway I saw my bedrooms door slightly ajar.

I didn't dare look back as I pushed my door open before turning around so I could shut it again. Tobias was quick though, quick and strong. He easily pushed my door open as I used my body to shut it. Just as he was about to grab my arm I jumped over my bed and stood in my corner. I was trapped.

"Tobias, please no," I pleaded, putting my hands together in a praying position. "I'm literally begging you."

Tobias still had that annoying smirk on his face as he flopped on my bed. He got off and stood in front of me, not too close but close enough where he could easily grab me if I decided to escape.

"You really don't want me to tickle you, huh?" He asked, crossing his arms.

I gulped and shook my head. "When I told you I'm extremely ticklish I wasn't exaggerating. Once I even peed in my pants."

Tobias tilt his head back in laughter. He wiped his eye after he finished laughing. He sighed softly before smiling at me. "Okay fine, I won't tickle you."

Relief passed through me and I instantly felt a weight lift off of my chest. "Seriously?"

Still smiling, he nodded. "Seriously."

Satisfied, I smiled back. "Thank you for being so considerate. You stay here while I make popcorn. Find us a good movie to watch."

"Aye aye captain!" He replied, saluting me. I rolled my eyes at his dramatic behavior.

I slipped past him, keeping my eyes glued on him while I did in case he was going to come after me. I was surprised he didn't try to tickle me when I passed by him. However, it was naive of me to think that he would give up so easily.

I was pulled in his toned chest. His arms were wrapped around my waist tightly and I could feel his body vibrate from laughter as I yelled at him. I tried weaving my way out of his arms but my desperate attempts were useless. I was lifted and held firmly against his body.

"Tobias! Put me down!" I commanded, kicking my legs furiously. I felt like Fiona from Shrek, only I wasn't over Tobias's shoulder like Fiona was.

"Sure thing sweetheart," Tobias enthused.

For a second it felt like I was flying until my back hit my bed, making my body jump. I huffed out in annoyance, scowling at Tobias and his laughing face. He joined me on the bed and I tried to escape but he was much quicker than I was. Both of my hands were pinned down as Tobias looked at me with full interest.

"Let's see how long I can tickle you until you can't take it anymore," Tobias daunted, sitting on my waist so I couldn't move at all.

My eyes widen as I stared up at him. My breathing was irregular due to the close proximity. "I'll do whatever you want. Just don't tickle me."

Tobias's lips curled up into a smug smile as he used one hand to hold both of my wrists. "This is very interesting. You're very passionate about me not tickling you. It's almost like you're afraid."

"I am afraid!" I yelled back, my emotions everywhere. "I hate being tickled. I have no control over myself."

"Which is exactly why I'm so keen on tickling you."

Not a second was wasted after he said that. His fingers began exploring my stomach, tickling anywhere they pleased. I squirmed around, hating the feeling but loving it at the same time. My body was involuntarily enjoying the feeling of being tickled. I couldn't contain it anymore, I had to laugh. Once I did I could stop. Through my tear filled eyes I saw Tobias smiling widely at me. He released my hands and I tried pushing him off of me, but I was too weak from all the tickling. I was a squirming mess, laughing from extreme enjoyment. The more he tickled me the more I had to laugh. Soon it was contagious and Tobias started laughing too.

"Tobias," I panted, tears still in my eyes. "Please stop! I have to pee!"

Tobias made no indication that he heard me. He continued tickling me, not giving me a moment to breathe.

"Tobias! I'm serious I'm going to-"

I stopped talking when I felt myself wet myself. Tobias stopped tickling me too and looked down on his own lap. Since he was sitting on me I managed to not only wet myself but I managed to wet Tobias too.

"Oh my god," I gasped, covering my face from embarrassment.

I couldn't believe I just peed on myself and on Tobias. This has to be one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done in my life and I did done some pretty wild stuff in high school.

"Oh my god!" I repeated, sinking in what I've actually done.

I felt my cheeks flaming and I couldn't bring myself to move my hands away from my face. I couldn't see Tobias right now. I would die from embarrassment. I heard Tobias start laughing and I felt myself frown. Was he laughing at me? I spread my fingers apart and saw him still laughing at me. I felt his body shift and then I no longer felt a weight on my body.

"I can't believe you actually peed!" He exclaimed through his fits of laughter. He was standing next to my bed with his face filled with amusement.

I felt a little less guilty knowing that I didn't mess up his nice slacks. Instead he was wearing some joggers, which he claimed to already have stored away in his car for emergencies.

"I can't believe you tickled me!" I hissed, getting off the bed. "I told you I peed once and now look. I managed to pee on you too!"

Tobias started laughing again and I scowled at him as I began walking away. "I wanted to see if I could tickle you enough where you had to pee again. Boy was it worth it."

I felt him following me as I walked towards my bathroom. I scuffed and shook my head. "You really have no limits, do you?"

"Nope!" He eagerly replied, popping the 'p'.

I rolled my eyes and stepped into my bathroom and took off my wet pajama pants. I saw Tobias about to step into my bathroom but I pushed him back before he couldn't even place his foot inside.

"What do you think you're doing?" I challenged, raising an eyebrow at him.

He moved my hand away and looked at me like I was crazy. "I'm about to join you in the shower, what does it look like?"

He pushed passed me and began stripping off his shirt. I had to tear my eyes away from him as I knew I would do something irrational if I continued to gawk at his beautiful body.

"You're not taking a shower with me."

"Why not?" He asked, dropping his joggers next. I turned my head so that I was looking completely in the opposite direction. "You need to shower and I do too. Why not do it together?"

"Because!"

"Because?" He repeated. "Don't tell me you want to be modest. I've seen it all."

I turned my head so I could glare at him. "Because I'm angry at you right now!"

He raised an eyebrow just as he was about to take his boxers off. I stopped him by grabbing onto his hands.

"You peed on me. I think I should be angry at you."

I growled at him. "You're infuriating!"

"I know."

"You drive me crazy!"

"I know."

"You never listen!"

"I know," Tobias repeated, smirking this time.

"You're not going to let me shower alone, are you?" I questioned, putting my hand on my hip, already knowing the answer. Tobias shook his head and I scowled at him again.

"Fine, I guess I'm not taking a shower," I replied, tossing my pajamas in the laundry bin while walking out in my underwear.

"You're going to allow yourself to be filthy?" He called out.

"If that's what it takes!" I yelled back.

There was a long pause before I heard the shower turn on. With a satisfied smile I turned left and walked into my room. I began looking for some clean clothing when I felt someone pick me up, making me scream. I saw Tobias's naked butt. Now I really was Fiona, being held upside down.

"Are you crazy?" I screamed, kicking my legs.

"Crazy for you."

I felt myself hit something hard and I began kicking him repeatedly in the same place, trying to annoy him enough to where he'll put me down. I felt him smack my butt making me scream again.

He walked into the bathroom and I tried grabbing on the door to help me but Tobias smacked my hand away as soon I reached out. He walked into my shower and I instantly felt my body stick to my clothing.

"Tobias! I'm still wearing my clothes! I didn't even get to wrap my hair!" I bellowed, feeling angry now.

"Your clothes will dry and so will you hair," he snorted, putting me directly under the shower head.

I felt myself swallow some water, making me choke. Tobias put me down at once, tilting my head up so he could look at me. Through the water I could see his face filled with concern. I pushed him back and began coughing again and again before I felt my body begin to feel better. I focused on my breathing as it started to get better.

"Are you okay?" He finally asked, after I stopped coughing.

I nodded subtly, still not looking up at him. He placed his fingers under my chin, forcing me to look up at him. Water was running down his face and I still couldn't find any flaw in him. He was effortlessly beautiful.

"I'm sorry," he softly said.

The way he said it I knew it was much more than what he just did now. It was almost as if he was apologizing for everything he did since the moment I saw him. Big or little I could tell he was genuinely sorry. I nodded and stripped off my clothes and allowed myself to get lost in the shower with Tobias.

~*~

My head was resting on his chest which rose every second from his breathing. His hand was playing in my natural curly hair. I was surprised when he told me he preferred my hair this way. Every other guy, including black guys, told me my hair looked nappy or it was too many tangles. Tobias... Tobias just looked at me the same. No scratch that. If I thought he looked at me on a loving manner this was ten times better than that.

We were both in our PJ's, me actually fully dressed, while Tobias was wearing nothing but his boxers, his choice although I didn't mind. We were watching American Heist with a big bowl of popcorn in our lap. Tobias ate most of it while I nibbled on some every once awhile. I remembered that it was his favorite food and reminded myself to grab another box. I'm glad I did because I don't know the first thing about how to cook. I think I could survive off of feeding him popcorn.

"I like this scene," Tobias spoke up. I noticed how his adam's apple bobbed up and down as he spoke. Maybe that's why he has such a deep, husky voice.

"What happens here?" I asked, only half interested. I closed my eyes and let his voice be my eyes. I was too tired to continue watching it.

"The brother, Frankie, saves Jimmy by dressing him up as one of the hostages after beating him up. He then drags his brother outside to make it look like Jimmy was innocent just so he wouldn't get caught up in the robbery, even though he swore he would never go to jail again."

I looked up at Tobias and saw a look of pain on his face. I sat up straighter, making him look down at me.

"It must be nice having someone care about you so much that they would risk their life for you," he continued, his voice emotionless and cold.

He looked back at the TV just as Frankie got shot. I flinched, not expecting that to happen. Tobias wrapped his arm around me closer before turning the TV off. He scooted down on my bed until his head was resting peacefully on a pillow. He cradled me, his warm embrace comforting me at once. I could hear his heart beat softly.

"I care about you that much," I whispered. "I care about you more than that."

Tobias took a deep breath before exhaling loudly. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my head into his chest. I felt him kiss my temple before I dozed off into a relaxing slumber.

~*~

Tobias's fidgeting woke up. He kept flopping around in my bed trying to get comfortable. Once he couldn't he groaned loudly before glaring at me.

"How can you sleep on this bed?" He asked, moving again.

"Sorry I don't have a comfy king sized bed. Some of us have to deal with average queen size."

He rolled his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. "Once we move in together we're keeping my bed."

Butterflies were flying around in my stomach. Once we move in together? Where did that come from? Just as I was about to ask him, I heard my door knock.

"Expecting someone?" Tobias asked, glancing down at me.

I shook my head and got up. My bare feet padded against my wood floor as I made my way to the living room. Someone began knocking again, only this time they were banging.

"Open up Reign!" I heard a familiar voice yell. "You're late to my own damn bridal shower!"

"Who has a bridal shower so early in the morning?" Tobias grunted, passed by me so he could go in the kitchen.

I started to panic. I looked in the peephole and saw an angry Noel as well as Rachel and Charlotte. This was bad, really bad. I couldn't let them come in and see Tobias!

"Tobias!" I hissed, walking into the kitchen. I saw him drinking my orange juice straight from the jug and I scrunched my nose up in disgust.

"Yeah?" He nonchalantly replied, taking another long gulp.

"Yeah?" I mimicked angrily. "Get dressed and hide!"

"Why?" He asked, closing the orange juice and began rummaging through my pantry.

"Because my best friend is about to catch me having an affair in front of her friends who I hate," I explained, grabbing his arm. I dragged him out of the kitchen and led him to my bedroom.

"Reign!" Noel shouted, pounding on my door. "Your lucky Julian still has my set of keys or I would've already been in here. Open up!"

Tobias stopped walking and scowled down at me. "Julian has a set of your house keys and I don't?"

"I didn't give them to him! Noel did now please get dressed."

Tobias stubbornly crossed his arms and stared at me. "Not until you give me a set of your keys too."

"What are you, five?" I asked, irritated. I pushed him into my room and began looking for his clothes.

"So what, are you seeing Julian for real and I'm just some side relationship?" He asked, sounding angry. I found his clothes on my dresser and I tossed them at him.

"No Tobias. I like you and only you," I reassured him, tying my hair in a messy bun. I walked into my bathroom and flicked some water onto my hair. I could tell Noel that I was in the shower while she was knocking.

"Then why haven't you broken up with him yet?"

I groaned as I saw Tobias appear in my bathroom, tossing his button down over his shoulders. He began buttoning up his shirt. He left the first few unbutton as he stepped closer to me.

"Tell me you have no feelings for him," he demanded.

I scuffed and walked out of my bathroom. I began looking through closet and pulled out the warmest thing I could find. I could hear Noel still knocking and I knew I was in for a big lecture from her. I shimmed out of my clothes and slipped into a fancy sweater and light washed skinny jeans.

"Reign, tell me you have no feelings for him," Tobias repeated, looking much more angrier than he was a few minutes ago.

"Here's the plan. I'm going to leave with Noel and you can leave five minutes after once we left."

I looked around for my purse and spotted it on my side table. I walked towards it to be stopped by Tobias.

"Stop ignoring me and answer the damn question," he growled, holding my hands tightly.

"I'm not answering it because it's a ridiculous question. I had feelings for him, briefly after I saw you with Rachel. But if I'm being honest with myself I was just trying to get over you so I jumped into another relationship," I replied, looking him in the eye so he knew I wasn't lying. "I haven't even kissed him or hung out with him after that night we rekindled. Okay?"

Tobias looked at for me a moment longer before exhaling. "Okay."

Pleased, I stepped behind him and grabbed my purse. I shrugged into my coat right next to it and turned around and saw Tobias putting on his own coat.

"I'll call you tonight," I told him, looking for my leather boots in my closet.

"I have a match tonight," he replied, sounding distant. "I might not pick up."

"You're still fighting, huh?" I came out of my closet and saw him leaving on my doorway.

"It's all I know how to do," he explained. "It's the only thing I know I'm good at."

"Don't get hurt," I whispered. "Please."

He smiled charmingly at me. "Anything for you."

I couldn't help but smile back. "Remember, wait five minutes."

"Yeah yeah. I got it."

I walked passed him and into the living room. I could hear Noel complaining through the door. I chuckled a little to myself as I heard her ranting on the phone with Scott.

"Reign, you forgot something," Tobias called out.

I quickly turned around and found myself swept into Tobias's arms. He slouched down and connect his lips against mines hungrily. His tongue grazed my teeth and I moaned from delight. He was the one to pull back, teasing me with a ten second kiss.

"I definitely couldn't survive without that."

Longest chapter I've ever written for this story and I managed to write it in less than a day :)

Question for this chapter:
-Do you really think Reign is going to leave Julian after Noel's wedding?

-Why do you think Tobias got so angry once he found out Julian has Reign's house keys?

-Would you guys like more filler chapters like this one or more chapters dealing with the plot?
