Chapter 51

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
