“Yes, me.” Tyler cleared his throat and wore his glasses properly while I scanned him from top to bottom to check if he was hurt anywhere. Even if he was my enemy, I didn’t want him to be physically hurt.“What the hell are you doing here? You look fine by the way. I was really scared for a second out there.” I muttered, placing my hand on the car door for support as I was feeling a bit dizzy.“Why, thank you. Do you run over all your enemies with your car, Ms. Adams?” he asked, clearly enjoying my misery and continued after taking a good look at me, “Drunk and driving. This is so good. Imagine what I can do to you right now with just a single phone call,” He added with an evil look in his eyes and I was started to get pissed off by him.“Shut up, you jerk. I’m still not over what you did today.” I walked towards him angrily and he gave me a slight smirk, his eyes flickering down to my lips momentarily.“Well, I can’t kiss you again just because you are not over it, princess. I was ki
"Jesus Christ, where were you? And what the hell happened to your phone?" Mary attacked me as soon as I entered the living room, looking like a mess."Relax, Mary. I'm fine. I slept over at a friend's house and before you could assume anything, it wasn't like that. I went to this stupid party and got drunk and passed out." I explained, skipping the part where I almost killed Tyler. I sank on the couch and placed my purse on the coffee table. She gave me concerned look, running her eyes all over my body to see if I was indeed okay. "Your friends were trying to reach out to you via the landline and I was really scared. If you hadn't showed up in another ten minutes, I would have called your dad." She shook her head in disapproval and disappeared inside the kitchen again. "Like he would care," I muttered, rolling my eyes and pulled out my phone to text my friends to tell them that I was home safe and sound. I knew they must have a lot of questions from last night but I was too tired to
"Wow, so you have to work with him for this fundraiser?" Mandy shrieked out as if it was the most horrible thing she has heard in her entire life and it only made me feel worse. We were back at my house, just chilling and doing absolutely nothing. Cara and Jenny were out on dates and even though I didn't mind it that much, a part of me was slightly jealous that I was single. I've never been single and it felt weird to be spending time all by myself these days."Yeah, it's so annoying and I have no choice. You guys gave me a really stupid idea. Now, I bet he will tell Principal Brown if I don't work with him." I whined, getting up from the bed and walked towards the dressing table."Dammit, does he like you or something? Is that why he is trying to spend more time with you?" Mandy asked with a puzzled look on her face and I was glad that she was actually concerned about me. Cara and Jenny always think about themselves first but not Mandy. I could always count on her. "Come on, Mandy. I
"What the hell are you doing here?" Tyler asked, making me stand up hastily from my seat causing Mandy to wake up in an instant. I straighten up my skirt, giving him a bored look but secretly felt happy that he heard me calling him dumb."Relax, you are not someone I would stalk. I was just helping Mandy with babysitting." I glanced at Lily who gave me a sly smile and I winked at her in response. She was a cute little thing unlike her brother. "Uhhh...yeah. I guess we can leave now since you are here, Tyler." Mandy nudged me and I let out a huge sigh and shrugged in response as I collected my things. "Wait!" Tyler stopped us and I looked up at him properly this time. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt and a pair of cargo pants that was hanging loosely around his waist. He actually looked pretty good if I were to ignore his glasses. Did he actually go to a party?I wanted to ask him but then I realised that it was none of my business. I should probably shut my mouth and just leav
Once I reached home, I changed into my PJ's and laid back on the bed, thinking about everything that happened in the evening. I was still angry that he shut me out after almost kissing me and it kept me thinking about what he said. Why can't I think about other guys? I was pretty and single and any guy would die to be my boyfriend. I got a text from Mandy which interrupted my thoughts instantly. 'What happened? Did you get home safe?' -Mandy.'Yeah, babe. Thanks for looking out.'I hit send and opened our group chat. It was time to find myself a fake boyfriend to prove Tyler that I wasn't hung up on his like a sex starved teenager. 'Girls, I need a fake boyfriend ASAP.' I immediately got three replies which made me laugh. 'What is going on?'- Jenny.'Say no more.' - Cara.'Why?'- Mandy. Sometimes I liked Cara when she agrees to do crazy things like this without any reason so I decided to leave it to her. 'I'll explain everything at school tomorrow.' I was about to shut my pho
I was the first one to jump out of my seat when the last period got over and I rushed to my locker immediately, feeling excited about annoying Tyler and proving him wrong. He would be so shocked to see me with another guy and it would also be a reminder for him that I do think about other guys.I pulled out my phone and saw a text from Cara that he was on his way and another text from Tyler himself. 'Waiting in front of the library.' - Tyler. I smirked, considering that it was the best opportunity to flaunt my fake boyfriend in front of him. I lifted my head from my phone and saw the guy from Cara's phone, standing in front of me with a huge grin. "Chloe Adams! It would be an honor to be your fake boyfriend for however long you want. I'm Dylan." He extended his hand for a shake but I rolled my eyes and brushed past him, indicating with my fingers to follow me. "Listen carefully, we need to act like a boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Tyler Cummings. No questions asked and nothi
"Dylan was good for nothing. Tyler must think I'm faking it for sure." I was pacing around in my room and Cara just shrugged in response. "Hey, you can't blame me if you guys don't know to act well.""I can't kiss some douche even if it's just acting. That's disgusting, Cara." I frowned in response and took a deep breath to calm myself as I was still thinking about Tyler's almost kiss in the library.God, I wanted to kiss that asshole again. "You kissed Tyler. Isn't he a douche as well?" Jenny asked with a wink and I placed my hands on my hips and gave her a glare. "Yeah but..umm...well,he happened to be a good kisser." I muttered and Cara gasped in response."Ha, I knew it. You like the nerd, don't you?" Jenny squealed in excitement and Mandy was surprising quiet throughout our conversation."He is an asshole that's for sure but I can't seem to get him off my mind. It's so annoying and he almost kissed me today." I freaked out and everyone looked at me with their eyes wide open in
By the end of the day, my eyes were no longer red and they were back to normal and I couldn't wait to meet Tyler. I guess I've been looking forward to that for the whole day and just as I was about to collect my things and go meet him at the library, I got a text from him. 'Meet me at my house'- Tyler.His house?Wow, this was the first time he was inviting me as he is always known to throw me out of his house all the damn time. 'Are you sure?'I replied and bit my lips, waiting for his response. I heard my friends calling out my name from outside the classroom. "What's going on? We are going to Dylan's for a party. Let's go." Mandy came over and stood next to me, waiting for me to respond. "Uhh....I am meeting Tyler regarding the fundraiser. We are so close and have to summarise the plans." I replied and kept staring at my phone, waiting for his reply.What the hell was taking him so long? I could see him typing and pausing back and forth.'Don't worry, I won't ask you to leave u
"I thought we were ordering take out." I pointed out as he started tossing some onions and I realised that he making us some pasta while I remained seated across the kitchen counter and might I add he looked effortlessly sexy while cooking. What's with guys and cooking? It was extremely attractive and I couldn't stop drooling at how his muscles flexed every time he kept stirring the pan. "Chloe?" "Huh? What?" I asked, looking at him now while he had an amused smirk on his face. He had caught me staring and I was in no position to deny it. Come on, he can't blame me. He knows the effect he has on me and prancing around the kitchen shirtless? He was doing it on purpose. "You can have me for dessert, baby. Now answer my question, for the pasta, white sauce or red?" he asked, trying so hard not to smile and I threw a plastic spoon at him, hitting him square on the forehead. "Jesus, what's with the violence, woman? I asked you a simple question." He was laughing now and I couldn't hel
I have always wondered how it would feel like to have sex and I've always wanted to understand what the hype was all about. I've read books and watched porn but all those seemed way to exaggerated because I knew real life would never be like that. I have also heard enough stories from Cindy to know that sex can be good but only occasionally. So I decided to lower my expectations as I didn't want to get disappointed but the way Tyler ran his tongue down my neck made me think otherwise. I though the only way to experience an orgasm was through sex but the way Tyler's hands and tongue worked on my body was enough to make me come, something I never experienced with Tim despite the fact that he has gone down on me. I let out a shameless moan and bit my lips immediately as he continued to kiss my neck and my legs automatically wrapped around his torso. He pulled me closer and his left hand cupped my breasts, squeezing them softly yet sensually. "Oh my God, Tyler." I whispered, feeling too
"Ummm..he is my...He is a friend of mine from high school." I quickly corrected and didn't dare look at Tyler. Cindy raised her eyebrow and started to eye him from top to bottom."Friend huh? Is he available?" she asked without missing a beat, making me almost choke on my drink. My eyes went wide in shock as I had no idea how to respond to it. Would Tyler be into her? I hope not."Hi, I'm Cindy. Chloe's best friend."Oh God! Leave him alone, Cindy."Hi, I'm Tyler Cummings. Chloe's high school ex and potential boyfriend in the near future. We are obviously end game. She just doesn't know it yet." He introduced himself, making me go still as I heard his words. I tried to ignore the butterflies in my stomach and the sound of my heart racing wildly against my chest but it was useless. Potential boyfriend? End game? Does that mean he is still single and INTO ME?! Someone please hold me or I might pass out. "Oh my God! That's so cute and you, Chloe Adams, you better spill the tea tomorro
A year later...I stared at the mail in front of me and almost gagged at the sight of Tim's name. The nerve of him to invite me to his wedding after cheating on me. He was lucky to switch jobs or else he would have faced my wrath every single day. I was trying to get back to my life after the dreadful wedding and things were going pretty smooth until this morning. The invitation made me more angry than upset and I immediately deleted it as I had no intention of attending his stupid wedding obviously. My mind went back to Tyler and his words and just like that my gaze automatically fell to his card which I had kept safely on my desk along with my other belongings. This wasn't the first time I had thought about contacting him over the year. I tried to stay strong as I didn't want him to think I was being desperate or something. But what if he had moved on or found another girlfriend since I was making him wait for a long time?The thought of another girl in his arms made my stomach c
I rushed outside with tears streaming down my face and bumped into a hard chest. The familiar scent hit my nostrils and I immediately knew it was Tyler. I was not in a state to deal with him right now but somehow being in his arms made me feel safe. He held me by my shoulders and took a step back to look at my face which must be smudged with makeup and mascara. "Fuck, Chloe. Are you crying? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say those things to hurt you or make you cry. I will leave if that's..." "No, it's not that. I have to go." I stopped him mid-sentence and tried to push his hands off my shoulders even though I craved his familiar touch. If anything, a small part of me happy that Tim made it easier for me to take a decision without feeling guilty and that made me feel even more bad. Did I want this to happen subconsciously?! "Do you want me to come with you? You don't look fine." He asked with a concerned look on his face and that made me cry more. Don't ever question a person who
I sat down in my seat while Tim was standing in the front with the groom. The wedding was about to start and I was feeling nervous and worried, thinking about my encounter with Tyler back in the elevator. I noticed Tyler running around here and there and he was busy taking pictures of everyone and everything. I couldn't help but look at him and admire the way he worked. He looked so professional and sexy. He still got that mysterious vibe going on and I was still drawn to him unfortunately. Do I ignore Tyler and move on with Tim or Do I find my closure? "Chloe!" I heard Lily's voice and turned around to find her and her mom walking towards me. I smiled at them warmly and they took their seats beside me. I didn't mind it but I wondered how Tim would feel if he sees us sitting together. "I hope you don't mind us sitting together. I switched seats as soon as I saw you sitting alone." Lisa explained as she sat down with Lily and I shook my head."Not at all, Tim is the best man anyway
"Yeah, I am fine. I just ran into few people I know." I fake smiled as I ate my lunch, sitting opposite to Tim in a small cafe nearby the hotel. He finally joined me to do some shopping and sightseeing while my mood was completely ruined by my new found knowledge. Tyler was going to be there at the wedding. It's been five years and yet I'm getting the same tingling feeling just at the thought of his name."People you know from where?" "My ex-boyfriend's mother and sister, Tim and guess what? Tyler, my ex-boyfriend is going to be at the wedding too. He is Michael's cousin." I finally admitted as I couldn't keep it in anymore. This could either break us or make us stronger."What are you getting all worked up? He is just an ex-boyfriend right?" Tim questioned me with genuine concern in his eyes."Yes, I mean I feel bad that you have to deal with all this drama. This weekend was supposed to be about us." I replied, hoping he would get how bad I really feel about this situation."I don'
By the time we reached San Francisco and settled into our rooms, it was way past 6 in the evening. I was so exhausted and just wanted to curl up and sleep on the bed. Tim's friend, Micheal, was gracious enough to give us a huge ass room that was so cozy and cute. "Oh God! I could sleep on this forever. It's so fucking soft." I sighed and rolled all over the bed, making Tim chuckle in response. He joined me on the bed and pulled me closer but instead of feeling warm and excited, I felt nervous. It definitely had to do with what he said when we left my apartment. Forever! That word gave me the chills and I realised that I was not ready for that level of commitment yet. "Hey, you okay?" Tim asked with a concerned look on his face and I gave him a small smile. "Yeah, must be the jet lag. I just need to rest for sometime."It was not a complete lie. He nodded in understanding and kissed my forehead before he got up from the bed. "So I guess it's only me then. Are you sure you don't
Five years later!"Tim, do I really have to go?" I whined as I pushed myself off his bed and stood up to stretch my body. I have been trying to spend most of the nights at his house ever since I turned down his request to move in with him. I mean, Tim was good and there was nothing wrong with him or our six month old relationship, the longest I have been in ever since high school. We work together in the same office and we were good friends first before we started dating. It felt easy being with him and I was also feeling lonely being on my own in the city but I just felt like it was too soon to move in with him so I turned him down politely."Come on, babe. It's my best friend's wedding and it will be a good opportunity for me to introduce you to my friends.Plus it is in San Francisco, it will be like a little getaway." Tim popped his head from the bathroom and I gave him a small smile. I couldn't say no to that face. Tim was the guy who had this boy next door aura. He was good looki
