2021-04-20 11:39:34"Thank you so much," I smiled at the little kid who was returning the book that she had borrowed two days back from the library.
My stomach was already in knots as the clock kept ticking closer towards 8 pm. Tristan would be here any minute and I was freaking out. I knew he had a test today and I really hoped he did well.
Besides getting paid, I wanted him to do well and a small part of me wanted to end this whole tutoring as it felt a bit weird to be teaching him and kissing him but at the same time, I was worried he wouldn't want anything to do with me outside of tutoring. Last night's conversation literally left me speechless and I didn't know where we stood exactly. It was like we were having our own private world between the four walls of his room. My thoughts were interrupted by the loud honking of his fancy-ass car and I collected my things to leave immediately.
After closing the library, I walked towards his car an

The next few weeks were so amazing that I felt like I was in a dream. Even though I and Tristan weren't hanging out like a regular couple at school, we were enjoying our time together at his house. I continued to teach him and well, we did other things besides that too but it didn't go beyond kissing and I was waiting for him to make the next move. It was sexually frustrating me to the core and I was too shy to ask him myself.At school, I was hardly able to see him as he was busy with his classes and football practice."You need to ask him, Ri. I mean, all this is nice and fun but why is he not making this public? I don't even see him talking to you at school nowadays," she pointed out during lunch and I didn't meet her gaze as she was right and I had no response for that."Well, he did say he wanted no one to know that he was bad at math and that's why I'm teaching him at his house," I explained, more like defended him w

'We are done. Please don't text me or talk to me ever again.'I sent him a text and switched off my phone that night after Lucy left. I also told my dad not to let Tristan in, if he ever comes home to see me.I couldn't sleep peacefully and kept watching sad romance movies to make myself, even more, sadder and finally, I fell asleep, exhausted from all the crying.The next day, I had no motivation to go to school but I had to, so I dragged myself to the shower and cringed at my own reflection in the bathroom mirror. My eyes were all swollen and puffy and my face was pale and lifeless.Don't even get started about my hair.After scrubbing myself clean for the next thirty minutes, I got dressed wearing a black t-shirt and skinny blue jeans. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and tried to look presentable by concealing my puffy eyes and applied some tinted lip balm. Feeling s

Tristan's POV:I kept staring at her as she continued to talk with Tyler Whittman by placing her hand on his shoulders. I wanted to pull her away from him and punch him in the face.Fucking asshole!The last few weeks were absolute bliss and I was so fucking happy with her but now it was the exact opposite of that. I knew she was new to all of this so I didn't want to overwhelm her and decided to take it slow but I had no idea why she was angry with me and she was pissing me off further by not replying to my texts or calls.I kept gripping my phone tighter with every passing second and I was almost about to lose my shit, watching them both talk to each other.My eyes went wide in shock and anger when I saw her, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. I threw my phone on the ground with such force that it broke into a million pieces. All the students in the parking lot looked

"So he told, you were his girlfriend in front of the entire school?" Lucy asked as soon as we were out of our classes and on our way to the cafeteria."Yes, Lu and he said Bethany was his friend and he was helping her to make some guy called Mike jealous," I replied, rubbing my forehead.I had a lot of things on my mind and this was all so fucked up. I kissed Tyler for no reason and cried my eyes out for absolutely nothing at all. I did trust him now and felt so bad after hearing him out. What I did was out of spite and it must have hurt him a lot.Ugh!I hated this stupid mess."Yeah, Bethany likes Mike. Don't you know about this?" she asked casually, sitting down at our regular seats at the cafeteria with her cold coffee while I gave her a shocked expression."You know her?""If you had told Bethany was the blonde chick, I would have told you

"Are we done yet?" Tristan whined, placing his pencil down on his notebook."Just solve this problem and then we can take a break," I assured him and got up from my seat to stretch a little bit."I want a break now." He pulled me onto his lap, causing me to giggle."You have to solve it after the break anyway," I smirked and he let out a huge sigh."Fine, you are so mean." He pouted and let go off. I laughed and got off his lap.When I was with Tristan, I felt so happy and alive. I had no doubts anymore and started to feel comfortable around him. He made me feel so special that it actually made me wonder if I deserved it. I never thought I would have these so-called 'romantic' feelings before and he was bringing out the best part of me that I didn't know existed until now.I made my way towards his balcony on the other side of the room to get some fresh air and closed my e

"Oh my god! That was fucking amazing." I laughed and kept jumping up and down in excitement as we came out of a game stall. It was a shooting game and we both won a cute little fluffy panda."It's all yours." He chuckled beside me, pulling me closer, and kissed the side of my head."This is so much fun." I giggled and kept walking ahead of him and my eyes roamed freely, wondering where to go next.Gosh! I was behaving like a little kid. "Tristan!" I called out and turned around to find him looking at me fondly with his hands in his pocket."Umm...I'm sorry for being all jumpy and excited." I blushed, hiding my face behind my locks of hair."Are you kidding? I love it. I'm having so much fun just watching you be all happy and carefree." He took my face between his hands and kissed me square on my lips."It's just that...My dad took me only once to the ca

I remained silent throughout the entire ride back home and I could sense Tristan looking at me from the corner of his eyes now and then."Hey, are you alright?" he asked, breaking the silence and I nodded my head, not knowing how to ask him about the thought that was bugging me since the Ferris wheel ride."You are awfully quiet for someone who had an amazing date. Did I make you uncomfortable or something?" he asked again with concern laced in his tone and I blushed a deep shade of red, knowing what he was talking about."No...I mean, it's not that, Tristan. Umm....you said it was the best one so far and I couldn't help but wonder how many girls you have slept with before me." I blurted out and he hit the brakes suddenly, causing me to jerk forward.

I kept pacing around in my room not knowing what to do. She wasn't picking up my calls and I was getting worried with every passing minute. I fell on my bed with a loud groan and suddenly my phone vibrated on my hand.'I'm so sorry, Ri. Will explain everything tomorrow.' - Lucy."What is that supposed to mean?" I spoke to myself and shook my head. At least she wasn't in any kind of danger. After letting out a huge sigh, I placed my phone on the bedside table and fell asleep immediately as the exhaustion took over my body."Where the hell were you last night? We were worried sick, Lu." I hissed as soon as I got in her car the next morning and removed my bag to place it behind my seat."I'm so sorry, Ri. I should have told you but I didn't know it was going to happen and when Andrew asked, I panicked and I--" She paused as her ey

The next morning, I woke up with a smallfrown as the bright rays of sunlight hit my face. I covered myself with the duvet immediately and reached out for Tristan but he was missing from the bed. I woke up in an instant, covering my body as much as I could. Memories of last night came rushing back to my head and I smiled widely. I've never been happier and being with him just felt right.If this is what I would be signing up for, I wanted to be with him forever. I had already made up my mind. I was ready to leave Phoenix with Abby for him. That is, if and if we were going to talk about the future. I noticed my phone on top of the bedside table and picked it up. It was 7 am and I let out a soft sigh.Where was he?"Morning, sunshine." I heard his deep husky voice and turned to my side to find him standing outside the bathroom in just a towel that was hanging dangerously low on his hips, his hair was all wet fr

Tristan's POV:I kept tapping my feet furiously waiting to reach the hotel as soon as possible. Even though I wanted to make love to her right now, I had another stuff planned for tonight.Dammit!"Are we there yet?" she asked, biting her lips andI glanced at her. She looked absolutely breathtaking in that smoking hot red dress. Fuck, she was just perfect and I still saw that cute little girl from high school in her, despite the makeup and hairdo."Impatient, are we?" I let out a small chuckle and kept driving. We were almost there and once we reached the hotel. I gave the car keys to the valet and took her hands, guiding her through the glass doors."Holy Fuck! Are you staying here for the week?" she asked in shock and amazement. I looked down and found her admiring the interiors of the hotel. She was totally mesmerized by it and almost forgot why we were here in the

My phone kept going off constantly, distracting me from doing my work at the officethe next day and I knew exactly who it was.Man, he never gives up.I picked up my phone with a small smile and saw a dozen text messages from Asshole.Of course, it was him.'I want to take you and Abby out for dinner tonight. Please don't say nooooo' -Asshole.I let out a small chuckle and typed out my reply.'Like a date?''Of course, baby.'- Asshole.'You need to get through my dad first.'My phone started to vibrate in my hands as he chose to call instead of responding to my text."Did you tell him already that I'm in town?" he yelled as soon I attended the call. I took my phone a few inches away from my ears, trying to hold back my laughter.

"You are awfully silent. Everything okay, babe?" Tristan asked while driving back to my house. Abby was fast asleep on my shoulders and I kept patting her back softly. I was still in shock with my discovery and couldn't even meet his gaze all evening. I mean, it was unbelievable that he kept the carnival ticket from our first date even after all these years. I was literally blown away and my heart was thumping against my chest wildly."I--I'm fine," I spoke after a few seconds but he wasn't convinced and kept giving me sideways glances now and then."Iknow you better than that. Do you...Ummm...regret this evening?""What?" I asked immediately and gave him a 'are you crazy' look, "Of course not, I'm just so glad that it went well and it wasn't awkward at all. She warmed up to you so fast.""I am her father, Duh! And, yeah, she is amazing. I want to be with her, Riley. I want to get

"Leaving early, I see." I heard a deep voice from behind, causing me to jump from my seat."Jesus Christ!" I shrieked in fear and turned around to meet a pair of familiar crystal blue orbs."Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He raised his hands in defense and I let out an embarrassed chuckle."It's okay, Mr.Reed and yeah, I'm leaving early today," I replied with a small smile and grabbed my things. He was still standing at my desk behind me and I was feeling a bit awkward. I wasn't the type to make small talk and I had no idea why he was still standing right there."Ummm... Is there something I can do?" I asked, trying to keep myself distracted by arranging random things on my desk."Oh yeah, I wanted to ask if you submitted the documents and how do you feel about working here?" he asked, smiling down at me warmly and I let out a soft sigh."I submitted the documents this

"I will bring her to the park tomorrow because it's not safe for you to come to my house right now," I explained through the phone as I settled on my bed, pulling the covers over my body. I was so tired because of the jetlag and just wanted to fallasleep already."Why not?" came his response almost in an instant and I rolled my sleepy eyes."Well, if you want my dad to kill you, you are more than welcome, Tristan," I uttered, earning a deep chuckle from him that made me feel warm on the inside.God, I missed that chuckle so much."I think I can handle him, babycakes but we can meet at the park tomorrow, you know just to be safe." He sighed and I remained silent, trying to suppress my smile.Apart from me wanted to lose my ego and just forget everything. I could understand why he pushed me away and he was really dumb to think that I would want a kid more than being wit

Tristan's POV:I kept driving my car aimlessly that night as my mind was completely fucked up. I was shocked beyond anything when I came to know that Riley had a kid but when shetold me that the kid was mine, I almost had a mini heart attack. God, the reason I pushed her away became the opposite ironically and I still couldn't believe that we had a kid.I was a father.Never in my life, I thought I would father a child. I wiped away my tears and hit the brakes, running my fingers through my hair in pain and frustration.I put her through hell because of my immature thinking. She was right. I should have told her the truth and made her decide for herself. I fucked up big time and the fact that she raised our kid all alone was too much for me to bear. I should have been there with her through every fucking step of it. I should have taken care of my girl.

I kept pacing around in my hotel room, feeling all kinds of mixed emotions. Rage and anger dominated everything else. I wanted to kill him but at the same time, my grandmother's words and Lucy's words haunted me. Abby needs her father and he deserves to know about her no matter howbad and evil he might be. I wouldn't get another chance like this.Seeing him today at school broke me all over again and it was like trying to forget about him all these years made absolutely no sense. He still looked annoyingly handsome and even more hot if that was even possible.Ugh! I hated him so much.Why did I run into him? Of all the places, he had to work at our high school.Un-fucking-believable!I sat down on my bed and picked up my phone slowly. I went through my contacts and there his number stared right back at me.Asshole!

Tristan's POV:"Alright, boys. You may leave for the day and I expect to see you all at 6 am sharp tomorrow. Now go hit the showers," I announced to my team and watched them disperse immediately. I let out a huge sigh and made my way towards my office, wiping the sweat off my forehead. Being a football coach was fun yet exhausting attimes but I loved my job nevertheless. I felt proud to be coaching my team at my own high school.I threw my sports bag on my shoulder as I was ready to leave for the day. Just as I was about to lock my office, my eyes glanced briefly at the hallway and I noticed a woman, taking to the principal with her back facing towards me. It was a very familiar back and there was a sudden curiosity in me to see this woman's face. She was wearing a wine red dress that hugged every curve of her body and her chestnut brown hair fell below her shoulder in waves. I kept walking towards them, trying to be as casual as
