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
"You are glowing, Chloe. Please tell me you did it with him. I want to know everything." Jenny kept nagging me the next day at school while I rolled my eyes, blushing a deep shade of red. "I didn't do it, Jen but we definitely did other things." I smiled, biting my lips and Jenny and Cara both started to squeal in excitement. Mandy was silent as usual, looking at her phone. I decided to talk with her after our classes alone and find out what was her problem. I used to feel more comfortable with her but lately she has been acting so distant and weird."Yes! That's what I'm talking about, girl. How was it? Is he a good kisser? God, he got that mysterious nerdy vibe." "Yeah, I didn't know guys being lowkey would be such a turn on unlike these popular jocks." Cara added and we all started to laugh."I know. I was pleasantly surprised as well, Cara. We have kind of made it official but let's see. I hope I don't screw it up." "Alright, this totally calls for a double date. You, Tyler, me
"So tell me, what is going on? Why are you being distant with me?" I asked as we sat down on one of the benches placed on the outdoors of our school ground. She didn't meet my gaze and looked away as if she was contemplating whether or not to open up to me. This made me even more mad because we used to be so close and I felt offended that she couldn't talk to me. What did I honestly do to make her feel that way?"Is it Tyler? Do you like him or something ?" I asked bluntly without beating around the bush and she shook her head immediately. I instantly felt a sense of relief wash over me because if that was the case, things would have been very complicated between us. "No! God, I would never. It's just that we haven't been talking much, Chloe. I'm not sure if you can see it.""Of course, I can see it and that's the reason I am making you talk to me now.What did I do to make you feel that way? Did I push you away unknowingly?" I asked, genuinely curious, wondering if somehow the mista
