Two chapters in one day, hell you guys are lucky! Haha... just kidding... anywho... enjoy!
Chapter 7 - Compromising Situation
The next school day went by quickly, she had a run in with Reid but he was cut off again by Aaron. Hailey had dragged Aaron away and to their last class together for the day. She had begun to make it a habit to sit with Tyler in most of her classes, and the two were becoming good friends.
"Hails," Tyler's voice cut in to her thoughts as she pulled out her AP Government book.
"Ty, hey…" She gave him a small smile putting her last book in her book bag.
"You want to come over tonight and we can try and finish up the project?" He asked looking down at her, that cute boyish smile playing on his lips.
"Don't you have swim practice… like now?" She asked looking at her watch.
"Yeah, afterwards?" He questioned.
"Sure…" She nodded her head.
He turned around to leave and then turned back to her, "You wouldn't want to come watch us, would you?" He asked.
Hailey was about to say something but stopped herself, Aaron had never asked her to come watch him at practice, and he'd only asked her to watch him in one meet. She pursed her lips together and smiled at him.
"And miss an opportunity to see half of the senior class, including you, in Speedos… I think not…" She grinned at him.
Tyler blushed furiously as she slung her bag over her shoulder and caught up with the brunette. He didn't say much after her comment until he disappeared in to the locker room. Hailey walked in to the gym and saw Kate and Sarah sitting in the bleachers talking.
She puckered her lips together in thought, should she go talk to them? Or pretend she didn't see them?
"Hailey!" Sarah's voice was full of its usual enthusiasm.
Too late nowShe thought.
She plastered on a smile and waved, "Hey girls, what's up?" She asked giving them both a small wave and hello.
"What are you doing here?" Kate asked curiously.
"Tyler kinda asked me to come… I couldn't pass up an opportunity to see hot guys in small bathing suits…" She shrugged.
"I completely understand," Kate agreed.
"You two are terrible…" Sarah stated with a sigh as Caleb and Pogue walked out of the locker room.
"She's only saying that because she thinks Caleb has a bionic ear…" Kate stated tossing a glance at Hailey.
"In all honesty, I would be too… if I had a boyfriend that looked like one of them…" She stated moving her finger across the line of the four Sons that were now standing near a wall talking.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Reid's voice sounded like a ten year old boy who didn't get what he wanted from the toy aisle.
"I invited her…" Tyler stated crossing his arms over his chest.
"You really like this girl, huh?" Caleb asked glancing at the blue-eyed brunette.
Before Tyler could respond Pogue interrupted, "From what I hear she likes you too…" He grinned looking over at Kate who blew him a kiss.
"Oh really?" Caleb asked Pogue.
"You know my girlfriend; she should look in to investigating journalism or something…" Pogue shook his head.
Reid rolled his eyes, "Back to the original question, why the hell is she here?" He stated glaring at Tyler.
"I invited her to come watch practice, what the hell is your problem?" Tyler asked glancing at the blonde uneasily.
"Yeah man, you not over her or something?" Pogue asked his hands resting on his hips.
"Not over her?" Reid scoffed. "Please, I've had better lays than Hailey Gregory… she is not over me…" He insisted.
"Could you please stop reminding me about that?" Tyler asked getting annoyed with his best friend and roommate.
"Don't be jealous Ty," Reid smirked at him.
"Drop it Reid," Caleb warned.
"Whatever, man…" Reid shook his head.
Aaron walked out of the locker room stretching his long arms across his body, his best friend Ryan Bael came walking out behind him, slapping a hand on his shoulder. The two were wrapped up in a conversation when a familiar body in the bleachers caught his attention.
"What is she doing here?" Aaron asked his blue eyes growing wide.
"Who?" Ryan asked glancing at his friend.
"Hailey…" Aaron pointed to the bleachers. "With Kate and Sarah?" He asked confused.
"When the hell did this happen?" Ryan asked.
"I don't have a fuckin' clue…" Aaron growled stalking over towards the bleachers.
"Aaron, hey…" Hailey smiled at him, scowls forming on Sarah and Kate's faces. "What's up?" She asked seeing his obvious discomfort.
"What are you doing here?" He asked lowly as to not cause any unwanted attention from the two girls next to her.
"Tyler invited me to come watch swim practice, we're going to work on our project afterwards…" She answered with a simple shrug.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked looking down at the ground.
She nodded and stood up following him to secluded area of the gym, Aaron leered down at her and his lip curled up in a disturbing scowl.
"Why are you hanging out with Sarah and Kate?" He asked.
"Because they are being nice to me, I'm not going to shun them; I don't even know them…" She furrowed her brows. "What's your deal Aaron?" She asked confused. "You have been on edge about everything I do lately…" She accused.
"Nothing, I just don't want you to get too deep in to this whole bet thing…" He whispered.
"Well you shouldn't have made it then, should you have?" She questioned.
Aaron looked at her, his lips pursed together; he was clenching and unclenching his fists to calm his nerves. She raised an eyebrow at him and proceeded to ask him the question that had been on her mind since Tyler asked her to come to practice.
"How come you never ask me to watch you practice, or come to your meets?" She asked.
Aaron looked at her and then over to Tyler and his friend's who were watching them carefully, "Because I know you don't want to be around that blonde prick…"
"That's the only reason?" She asked.
"Yeah, you were pretty strung up on him after he broke up with you, don't you remember?" Aaron stated his tone forced.
"Trust me I remember…." She remarked looking past Aaron to see the blonde and the brunette of the small group looking at them intently. "You better get over there before Coach Hamm decides to castrate you for being late…" She forced a smile.
"Alright…" He groaned slowly. "We still on for movies tomorrow?" He asked her with a hopeful smile.
"Of course," She gave him a sly grin and headed back to the bleachers.
"I can't believe that you're friends with him," Kate mumbled.
"It's hard to believe, you're so nice and he's so… Aaron…" Sarah stated trying not to be rude.
"He's a nice guy, trust me… most of his demeanor around school is a crock… he's almost a totally different person when we're together…" She shrugged her shoulders.
"Almost?" Kate asked.
"The Sexual Innuendos… those are there all the time…" She laughed shaking her head. "I swear I get dropped by an arrogant, cocky, sex-driven teen, and then I end up best friends with his counterpart…"
"I almost forgot you went out with Reid," Kate stated slowly.
"What?" Sarah's eyes grew wide. "You dated Reid?"
"Last year for about a month and a half…" She shrugged her shoulders. "I was very stupid and very hormonal…" She groaned seeing Reid send her a wink as he got ready for practice.
"It was terrible, Reid was such a jerk to her after that…" Kate exclaimed.
"He charmed me, that's for sure…" Hailey sighed. "And he finally left me alone for about a year but now… now he won't leave me the hell alone…" She admitted.
"Really?" Sarah asked.
"For some reason," Hailey shrugged her shoulders.
Hailey's attention was then grabbed by Tyler who slid out of his grey Spencer sweat pants revealing his barely there Speedo. She felt her breath caught in her throat as he mounted the platform. Hailey couldn't tear her gaze away from his fit body.
"You're drooling," Sarah giggled in her ear.
Hailey snapped out of her daze and blushed furiously, "What can I say; he's a good looking specimen…" She grinned slowly.
She watched him dive in to the water and do a practice round of freestyle, coming back doing the butterfly and finally heading in to the breaststroke his normal style of swim.
Practice wrapped up and the guys all hurried in to the locker room, the three girls waited outside patiently for the guys to finish up. Caleb and Pogue were two of the first finished.
"Hey Hailey…" Caleb smiled at her.
"Caleb," She nodded to him as he linked hands with his gorgeous blonde girlfriend.
"See you later, Hailey good to see you again…" Sarah insisted as she gave her a small wave.
"I guess we're out of here too," Kate stated sliding her arm around Pogue's waist. "Don't forget you owe us a rain check!" She pointed at the girl before following Pogue to his yellow Ducati.
Hailey leaned against the brick building and a blonde mop crossed her peripheral vision, groaning lowly she hoped that he would walk right past her and not bother her at this moment; she really didn't want to be harassed by the rebellious blue eyed blonde.
"Hails," She looked up at the sky and groaned.
"God you must hate me," She muttered, she looked back to face that pointed nose and sharp pale blue eyes. "What do you want Garwin?" She asked annoyed.
"Tyler told me to tell you that he'll be out in a few minutes…" He gave her a cocky little grin before disappearing around the corner.
That bastard, she thought shaking her head. One minute he's inches from getting a knee to the balls, or an elbow to the ribs and then he does shit like that. She couldn't stand it. She closed her eyes and waited patiently for Tyler to join her.
Feeling a pair of soft lips on her cheek her eyes shot open, she wasn't expecting that, and she knew it couldn't have been Tyler. Her best friend stood a small smirk dancing on his lips.
"Hey love," He grinned to her.
"Aaron," She acknowledged.
"What are you doing?" He asked looking at the bag that was laying on the ground next to her black Mary Jane's.
"Waiting for Ty," She stated raising an eyebrow.
"Resulting to nicknames already, cute…" He pushed leaning on the wall next to her.
"C'mon Aaron, don't start this…" She groaned.
"I think you're getting to close…" He whispered. "You should just give up and take the consequences…" he stated his hand reaching out and grabbing hers.
"It's been all of what, four days… c'mon Aaron, give me a little more credit than that…" She stated with a roll of her eyes.
"Whatever, babe…" He shook his head seeing Tyler poking his head out of the locker room, the curly haired boy pushed himself off of the wall and gave her a wink goodbye.
"Hey," Tyler smiled watching Aaron leave.
"Hey, you ready?" She asked.
"Yeah, sorry… a bit of locker room hazing…" He laughed adjusting the white t-shirt that was sticking to his body.
"About?" She quirked an eyebrow up at him.
"It happens anytime one of us guys brings a girl to practice…" He stated slowly.
"Oh really?" She asked, he simply nodded. "What does this locker room hazing consist of?" She asked.
Tyler pressed his lips together and looked at her, "Putting my entire gym bag in the showers and turning all the shower heads on…" He sighed. "So I'm wearing Reid's clothes… and that scrawny ass wears under shirts that are tighter than most girls' clothes…" He mused pulling at the white shirt.
She couldn't hide her laughter as they walked towards the parking lot; she didn't see Tyler's Hummer and assumed that Reid had taken it upon himself to take his best friend's car, "I guess I'm driving…" She laughed glancing over at him.
"He has a tendency to do that, without telling me…" He shrugged his shoulders.
"I can't say that I understand… but…" She laughed unlocking her car.
"So," Tyler exhaled as he climbed in to her passenger's seat. "Aaron looked like he was about to have a coronary when he saw you at practice…"
Her eyes barely left the road as she backed out and answered, "You know him, wanting to know why I was there, and why I was hanging out with Kate and Sarah…" She rolled her eyes and moved the gear to drive. "I swear he's got something up his ass…" She shook her head.
"Well I'm sorry if my invitation put you in a bad predicament…" He apologized.
Hailey glanced over at him and pulled in to the parking lot of the dormitory.
"Don't be sorry, Tyler… I enjoyed practice…" She gave him a smile.
"You did?" He asked casually giving her a lazy grin.
"Honestly, I think Spencer should change their school uniforms, the guys can only wear Speedos, and that's it…" She remarked blushing slightly afterwards at his gawking face.
"I don't know if I could handle that…" He laughed.
"Me either," She grinned parking the car. "I might end up hyperventilating during class or something…" She chuckled grabbing her bag and walking with him towards the dorms.
Tyler shook his head, "If that happened I would have to move to request that all the girl's uniforms be changed to bikinis…" He grinned at her.
"I'm not objecting you all have the right to ogle too…" She stated as he pulled the door open and let her slip inside.
Tyler continued to laugh, his abdomen hurting as he slipped in after her, "Speaking of bathing suits…" He got a good glance of her from a side glance. "We have a meet Friday against Peterbrooke; I'd like it if you came…"
Hailey chewed on her bottom lip as if in deep thought and glanced at him with a huge smile on her face, "I'd love to come…" She grinned and then paused as they ascended up the stairs, "You're not going to get hazed again are you?" She asked him feeling a bit guilty.
"No, been there done that…" Tyler waved his hand, and the two started up the stairs again.
"Good," She nodded as they stopped at Tyler's floor.
They were silent until they had settled down on Tyler's bed their information spilling all over the navy blue comforter. They were laughing and joking for awhile and finally started working on their project.
About an hour in to their project Hailey let out an exasperated sigh, Tyler caught on and closed his book, "We should take a break, what do you say?" He asked.
"Sounds good," She agreed whole-heartedly.
"Some TV?" He asked holding up the remote. Hailey grinned and nodded her head.
Tyler turned on the flat screen TV that was hanging on the wall, "Excuse Reid, he has to have everything extravagant…" He grinned.
"I don't mind…" She laughed pushing her things to the side and turning so she could get a good view of the television.
Tyler flipped through the channels until he heard an 'ooh' come from Hailey. He stopped switching the channels and found what she was intrigued by, Pirates of the Caribbean. He suppressed any laughter and left the TV on the movie channel.
"You can come sit up here with me…" He paused. "If you want…" He added with a small smile. "I don't bite…"
Hailey looked up at him her green eyes showed her amusement as she scooted up the twin bed and took a seat next to him, their bodies close. Tyler smoothly lifted his arm up and placed it behind her, getting Hailey to react by snuggling up closer to the handsome brunette.
After about ten minutes of sitting next to Tyler, his arm around her shoulders and her head resting on his shoulder Hailey was getting bored with the movie. She let her eyes roam over Tyler; he was still watching Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom intently on the television. His dark blue eyelashes were framed by thick dark lashes, the simple point of his nose, and the strong jaw line that drew towards those pink luscious lips.
She pursed her lips together and sat up, getting Tyler's attention. He turned his attention to her and she smiled briefly, something in her stomach fluttered the way those eyes drew her in. She swallowed hard and without another thought she was pulling him in to her.
Her fingers laced behind his neck as she pulled her lips to mesh with his. At first Tyler was shocked, but his hands slowly pulled her closer to him, deepening the kiss. He pulled away from her slowly and his forehead rested against hers.
"I'm surprised Reid hasn't made his interrupting entrance yet…" He breathed heavily.
Hailey's green eyes stared in to his and shook her head, "Don't bring him up," She shook her head slightly. "Just kiss me…" She demanded bringing him in to her again.
Tyler happily obliged situating himself so that now she was lying on her back and he was leaning down attacking her mouth with his. Her right hand was running through his silky hair, tugging every few strokes to pull him in closer, deepening the kiss as her tongue searched every inch of his mouth.
Her left hand was moving up the back of his shirt, as Tyler's hands caressed her body slowly. His left hand was flirting with the hem of her skirt, slowly pushing it up. She was surprised at how soft his finger tips were, nothing like Reid's or Aaron's.
His kisses were intense; her entire body was reacting to him. She didn't know if she could leave his dorm tonight with just kissing. The smell of his cologne was intoxicating her nostrils as he nibbled gently on her bottom lip, the feeling of his hand on her smooth leg was making her body temperature rise to levels that she hadn't quite experienced before.
"Well I'll be damned…" A voice from the door interrupted them.
Tyler pulled away from Hailey immediately and hung his head a bit, this was definitely a compromising situation. Tyler was half on top of Hailey one of his hands was trailing around the hem of her uniformed skirt, the other was holding up his body. Her right leg was bent around one of his legs, and her hand up his shirt and tugging on his hair.
"Baby boy didn't I teach you anything, you put the tie on the door handle if you don't want some one walking in on you while you're doing the deed…" The blonde smirked flopping down on his bed as if the two weren't even there.
"I should probably go…" Hailey stated pulling herself together finally.
"Oh no, don't let my presence ruin the moment…" Reid quipped his eyes focused on the movie playing on the television.
"Too late for that," Tyler muttered tossing his best friend a relatively nasty glare.
Hailey sat up and began gathering her things; she felt her stomach flipping around nervously as she fumbled around, papers slipping out of her grasp as she tried her best not to look at Reid or Tyler. Tyler helped her clean up their mess and Hailey thought for a moment.
"Tyler I won't be able to work on the project tomorrow…" She said suddenly forgetting that Reid was even in the room.
"Oh?" He asked confused his eyebrows knitting in confusion.
"I'm sorry, it's just that every Thursday Aaron and I have a 'movie night' and I promised him I wouldn't miss it tomorrow…" She stated softly trying to avoid Reid from hearing her comment.
"I see," He looked down at the almost completed report. "I can finish it up if you want…" He stated scratching the back of his head.
Hailey's eyes fell to his hand that was resting on top of hers, "We could um… go to my room and finish the work if you want…" She offered. "Pull an all-nighter…"
Tyler's frown slowly turned into a smile at the thought, "Sure let me grab some stuff and I'll meet you at your dorm." He gave her hand a small squeeze before she stood erect to her full height of five foot five.
"Ok, I'm in 216…" She grinned pulling her things in to her book bag. "I'll stop down in the lobby and get us some coffee?" She asked.
"That'd be great…" Tyler nodded walking her to the door.
"Black?" She asked eyeing him up and down, wondering if he took his coffee the same way she did.
"Perfect…" He grinned.
Hailey bit her lip nervously, she leaned up on her tip toes and placed a quick peck on those pink swollen lips and disappeared down the hall. Tyler watched after her and then closed the door; he turned sharply on his heel and shot Reid a nasty glare.
"What the hell is your problem?" Reid scoffed, trying to hide his laughter.
"Do you use just to see what I'm doing so you can be an ass and interrupt?" Tyler asked him haughtily. Reid didn't reply instead he let his eyes flash black as the television turned off instantly and he gave Tyler his infamous smirk.
Please remember to R&R!
