Lucy's pov;As i was setting up the dining table with food i prepared, Tyler took a seat while asking, "Why did you ordered lot of food? Did you invite someone?" I placed the plate in front of him and said, "Firstly, it's only us. I didn't invite anyone. Secondly, I didn't order. I made this by myself."He gave me a surprised stare and asked, "Didn't you say you only know Italian cuisine? then how?" "Haven't you heard about Ftube? There's everything in it for everyone." I took a seat across from him and said, "Now that I think about it, what are you going to do tomorrow?"He took a bite from his plate and asked, "What about tomorrow?" "It's New year. Aren't you the one who's been excited about it since Christmas?" "Oh, right. I forgot that because of some work." and continued eating. "Hey! I've been watching you working all day and it continues past midnight too. What happened at the company?""You know that my company is in bankruptcy right?" "yeah." "Because of the bankruptcy
Lucy's pov;Tyler took me to a fancy restaurant to celebrate the joy of getting his company back. While we're eating, I asked him, "Didn't you say you have a meeting to attend? how did you get time to meet Mr Anderson in your busy schedule?"His expression changed from happiness at getting his company back to sadness, and then back again, before saying, "I really had an important meeting to attend. I didn't lie about the meeting." Then it went neutral as he looked down into his drink. Did he think I got mad at him for meeting his grandfather? uff! I just want to know what they talked about. How can I ask him what they talked about? I came straight home after talking with Mr Anderson. Tyler came home not less than ten minutes after me. There's no chance of them meeting in person in such a short period of time. When I looked at Tyler, he was eating the food in front of him without a care in the world. "Tyler," I said, trying to be as calm as possible. "How did the meeting go?" He loo
Lucy's pov;When I came to the house, I tried to go to my room but Tyler asked me to stop and said, "I'll inform you once the dinner is ready." And walked to the kitchen.I wonder how he can stay calm even after I've been mean to him. Is he trying to resist me? If he is, then let's see how much he can resist me? I came to my room and dropped on the bed staring at the ceiling. Because of Tyler, I happened to remember that guy after a long time. It was my first time visiting his tombstone today. At the hospital, when they asked me to sign the burial process, that was the last time I saw him lying dead covered by a cloth over him. I didn't even go to his funeral to see him off when the people who organised it invited me. Even though he gambled and beat me for silly things when he's drunk, he never gave up on me at any time. Even though he was chased by those loan sharks, he didn't let go of me. He had many chances of abandoning me but he didn't. He kept me with him.Why am I thinking ab
Lucy's pov;I woke up to the headache to the point where I couldn't bear the pain. Why is it hurting so much? I then remembered drinking a whole bottle of wine last night. Shit! Is this how it feels after getting drunk? I hate drinking! I'm never doing it again!! Tyler walked in and placed a glass on the table beside me saying, "Take it. It'll help you with the Hangover." When he tried to leave, I asked, "Did I bother you last night? If I did, I apologise for that.""It's alright. Everyone breaks down at some point. Yesterday was yours. Apart from throwing a bottle on the floor, you didn't do anything harmful." When I tried to get up, he asked, "Where are you going?""To clean the mess I made."He let out a chuckle and said, "I cleared out last night.""Sorry for troubling you.""What's with you today? You've been apologising to me since you woke up. Get up and take a shower." And let out a chuckle."I hated alcohol all my life but still I went for it in the end. I never thought I'd
Lucy's pov;After finishing dinner, when I tried to go to my room, Tyler asked if we could talk in the living room before going to bed. I knew that he wouldn't have come up to me unless there was something important. We sat on the couch. We didn't say much for a while. He was obviously struggling with what to say, so I waited and waited. Finally he finally blurted out, "Do you think we can start dating?""What?" I stammered, "Why would we-"Tyler cut me off by saying, "I know you don't want us to. But what's wrong with trying it? It might help. Plus... I like you." He looked down at his lap. "And we don't have to do this dating for a long time. Only until you start going to school. what are you saying?"He sounded sincere, but I was still caught off guard. I couldn't quite make sense of everything that he just said. My mind kept replaying the scene where he had told me he liked me over and over again, and each repetition made it even more confusing. This wasn't part of the plan. Yea
Lucy's pov;Since I couldn't sleep, I sat by the window and looked at the night sky, a darker shade of blue here, not quite black yet. A few stars peeked through the clouds. I was alone in my room tonight, and had nothing but my thoughts to keep me company. The silence inside and outside of this room was only disturbed by my breathing. The restlessness in my mind didn’t feel so much a part of myself anymore. It was like it didn’t even exist sometimes. It was still there, lurking around the corners, waiting to take over when I least expected it.As the cold wind blew the curtain on the window, it brushed against the edges of my hair and my face. A little static electricity buzzed between each touch. I ignored the goosebumps that came up on my body at its coldness. I didn’t need them right now. Right now I just wanted some peace. Just once, just for a moment. I needed to forget all of the things that haunted my head every minute. I could be numb and unbothered like this and no one
Lucy's pov;I woke up to the loud banging on the door and Tyler made his way into the room holding a plate of eggs and bacon. I could smell the food and my mouth watered. “It's for you, babe” he grinned as he placed it on my lap. I placed it aside and got out of the bed. "Where are you going?" he asked. I pointed the bathroom and said, "To brush my teeth."He nodded his head while smiling brightly at me. What's with the smile and all the lovey doveyness today? Is he getting sick or something? I let out a sigh and walked to the bathroom. When i stepped out of the bathroom Tyler was still standing there waiting for me. I sat on the bed and started eating the breakfast he made for me. "How's it?" he asked excitedly. I nodded and continued eating. "Didn't I teached you how to give compliment or did you forget it already ?!" he asked jokingly and sat next to me. "It's just breakfast. But thank you for making it for me." I mumbled. I didn't even try to hide my annoyance towards him b
Lucy's pov;Tyler and I went to a place where people were having coffee and drinks. Tyler says, "I'll go get something to drink." And left me along with strangers. I looked around for an empty table but couldn't find one since it was crowded. I remembered Tyler saying that he hates places with so many people. How come he likes this place? Maybe it was empty when he visited. Someone tapped on my back and asked, "Looking for a seat?" He was a good looking young guy who's taller than me. I nodded.He showed me a table where there were already people sitting with only one empty chair. I said, "I'm looking for accommodation for two people."He nodded and said, "No problem." And tapped on some guy asking him to squeeze with another. "It's fine. I'll look for another table. You just sit comfortably.""You won't find seats at this time. Take a look around, everywhere is crowded. Come with me." After taking a look, I took a seat at the table he pointed to before. The table had three boys a
