Chapter Four- Val and Tyler
A/N: Sorry to
keep changing the font J I just
figured out html formatting so I'm playing with the fonts. Everything else I
posted is Tahoma, no italics. L J Review please. There is definitely one more chapter,
possibly more. :- D When their thoughts argue,
one is bold.
Oh,
boy. I guess I should walk her home…oh, boy. Let's hope I don't mess this up
too bad. Repeat it: I will not mess this up, I will not mess this up, I will
not mess this up, I will no-, Tyler thought
"Tyler? Earth to Tyler? Come in, Tyler? Are you awake in
there? Hello?" Val asked somewhat impatiently. Tyler could feel his face turn
bright red.
"I'll walk you home, I mean, if you want me to," Tyler
stuttered. So
much for not messing that up. Think positive: I will not mess this up I will
not mess this up I will not mess this up I will not mess this up I will not
mess this up, Tyler thought.
What's he all upset about?
Is he okay? I'd love to have him walk me home! I love him, period. Oh, no, oh,
no… awkward city… I just admitted it to myself… wait with that kiss earlier we
admitted it to each other, why'm I nervous? Val
thought.
Why's she taking so long to
respond? Is she trying to figure out how to say no? Was that kiss earlier, oh I
don't know, fake? Or did she mean it? Of course she meant it, Val wouldn't
do something like that! Really? Really! Okay…Tyler thought.
"Oh, yeah Tyler I'd love for you to walk me home." Oy, bad choice of words. No s*** sherlock. Val argued with herself.
"Okay, I'll go grab your coat." Tyler said uncertainly. That's it Tyler, just be a gentleman, Tyler thought.
"Thanks." Awww…that's so nice, Val
thought
Tyler returned with her coat. She put it on and they
walked out the door, hand in hand.
"So, Tyler, what did that kiss mean earlier?" Val
regretted the words as soon as they were out of her mouth. Oops. That was the absolute wrong thing to say. Not to
be redundant, but no s*** sherlock.
"It meant that I love you and I've just been to shy to
tell you." Tyler said without hesitating. Yeah, that's it just play it smooth.
Oh, wow. Wow,wow,wow. He
likes me, he really likes me! And you call Catie a drama queen! No
comments from the peanut gallery, please. Val
thought.
Out, loud, Val said, softly, "Oh my gosh." Then, louder,
"Yeah, me too. I just…oh wow. Thank goodness. I was afraid…I was afraid you
didn't like me, that's why I didn't tell you."
They were both startled to realize that they had reached
Val's house. Play it smooth, Tyler, he started to think, when he
realized that Val was already kissing him, so he kissed back.
"Thanks for walking me home.See you tomorrow, Tyler. You
have my number. Call me," Val said and went inside.
She practically floated into her room. She slept peacefully,
dreaming of Tyler.
