"What do you want? Didn't you get the hint? I'm avoiding you." I opened my mouth as soon as we were away from the crowd. He remained silent and kept walking until we were standing behind the library building and there was no one around us. If it was some other guy, I would have found this creepy as hell and run for my life but with Tyler, I was feeling safe but nervous at the same time because I was expecting him to do something like kiss me out of the blue. Yeah, I should keep dreaming like an idiot."Hi." He spoke, finally turning around to meet my gaze and he removed his glasses, making my mind go blank instantly when I looked into his gorgeous brown eyes."H--Hi." I stuttered and cleared my throat before folding my arms in front of my chest. He kept balancing his weight from one foot to the other and looked restless like he wanted to say something but he was having a mental struggle."Are we good for tomorrow? Is everything ready?" He asked while I scrunched my eyebrows in confu
"What would you like to have for dessert?" My dad asked, skimming through the menu while I desperately wanted to leave the place as soon as possible. I hated that Tyler worked here. This was my favourite place and he was invading everything I liked."Dad, let's go. I'm not in the mood for dessert." I whined but he wasn't going to take no for an answer. He called Tyler again while I focused my eyes on my empty plate in front of me as if it was the most beautiful thing to admire."What would you like to have, dear?" he put me on the spot again and I glared at him before snatching the menu from his hand. There was no point in viewing the menu as I already knew what to order. "Ummm...I'll have a brownie with icecream." I mumbled, not meeting Tyler's gaze. "I'm sorry, Ms. Adams. Could you please be louder?"The nerve of him!I took a deep breath to calm myself and lifted my gaze to meet his playful one. "Brownie with vanilla icecream, please." I spoke through gritted teeth and I could
The next morning, I woke up with a huge smile on my face because it was the day of fundraiser and I was going to meet Tyler later tonight. I hope I wasn't dreaming last night and if I wasn't, I really didn't want him to have any major red flags. I am willing to overlook a few but I am human after all. What if he is a serial killer?What if he is a terrorist? Or what if he only likes to keep things casual?Fuck, what if he has some kind of deadly disease and he is going to die like it happens in the movies?Jeez! I need to stop overthinking.I tried to come up with a lot of 'what ifs' but at the same time, I was happy to rule out any possibilities of another girl. By the looks of it, he did have a beautiful loving family and a normal lifestyle. What could possibly be the reason he is hesitant to be with me?!"Patience, Chloe." I sighed and got out of my bed to take a quick shower.Once I was out of the shower, I rummaged through my closet to find something cute to wear. Pink suits
The fundraiser was a huge success and I could already imagine our principal congratulating me and Tyler tomorrow. I was having so much fun with my girls but a part of me wanted to be with Tyler and I couldn't help but wonder where he was right now and what he was doing. It's not like he had many friends in school as well. He was a loner. "Alright, let's go. It's almost 8. Dylan should be waiting for us." Cara announced as everyone started to follow her. "I might leave the party after sometime. I can hang out for one hour max." I told them just in case they get mad later for leaving without saying a word."Oh, someone is having plans for a special night I assume." Jenny added with a wink as we walked towards her car instead of mine since I gave my keys to Tyler to pick me up later. "No, it's not like that yet. We are still figuring out and I don't know, Jenny. I hope he opens up to me." I spoke, letting out a huge sigh and she nodded in agreement while Mandy was silent again. Jesus
"So..." Tyler dragged, looking at me from the corner of his eyes. "So...ummm.." I paused, not sure if he was back to his normal self. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts while we were driving away from Dylan's house and after a while, he had brought us to a park which over looked a small lake, not far from my house. We were sitting on one of the park benches and staring at the still lake. Usually, I would have found this place scary and creepy at night but with Tyler beside me, I felt safe and the cold winter air felt good against my skin."I bet you have a lot of questions from what Hunter told back there. I wanted to tell it all myself." He spoke softly, shaking his head and I turned to face him. Even though it was dark, I could still make out his facial features. "It's okay and honestly, it doesn't matter at all. I don't care about your past." I added, touching his hands which were warm and he held mine tightly. "Hunter goes to my old school and we used to be best friend."Wha
"What did you mean by it?" I asked, wiping my mouth with a tissue and turned to face him. We had come to McDonald's to have our dinner and we were sitting inside a seperate booth. He placed the coke on the table before turning to my side to face me. "By what?" He looked confused and the way we were sitting so close, made my insides warm and fuzzy. How can someone have so much effect over me? It was a good thing that the place wasn't that crowded. I blushed and tucked a piece of my hair behind my ears as I remembered what he had said before kissing me senselessly.'Alex wasn't the only reason I didn't relapse.'I didn't want to look like a fool by assuming that he meant me so I decided to play coy with him."You know about the relapse stuff before you kissed me..." I dragged, looking down at my fingers and I felt him intake a deep breath. I could see that it was hard for him to talk about it and I mentally cursed myself for bringing it up again.Shit! Way to ruin the moment, Chloe
"I knew you had it with you." I took my earring from his drawer that I lost it when I was drunk. We came to his house after leaving McDonald's and I was snooping around his room as usual. He hugged me from behind, kissing the back of my neck. Sweet Lord! I don't think I will ever get used to this."Of course, I had it. Do you still have the picture?" He asked and I blushed a deep shade of red as I turned around to face him. He was asking about the drunk selfie I had taken of us where I was blowing him a kiss."I do. I didn't have the heart to delete it for some reason.""You are obsessed with me, aren't you?" he teased me with a small chuckle and I smiled, admiring the adorable look on his face. "Shut up. What if your parents freak out when they find me here in the morning?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his neck. "They are cool and I'm pretty much sure they would be happy if you are not crying this time." He teased me again, making me slap his arm. "It is your fault for bein
"Okay, don't panic." He whispered as he looked at the door while I pushed him off me and jumped from the bed. "Don't panic? Are you kidding me? It could be your parents and I think they must have heard us doing unspeakable things to each other. I am so screwed." I rushed out without breathing and grabbed my clothes to wear it immediately. He laid back on the bed and started to laugh at my misery as I was struggling with my dress zipper. "Unspeakable things?! You are so adorable." He spoke through his chuckle and started to wear his own shirt before walking towards the door without giving a second glance at me. "Unbelievable, Tyler. The least you could do is help me before you get the freaking door." I hissed, giving him a glare and he raised his hands in defense before he could come to my aid. "You know what?" he asked as he pulled up my zipper and I could feel his hot breath teasing my neck in a way that my body enjoyed. I licked my lips and took a deep breath to calm down my hor
