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.
