Woohoo, Tyler is a sexy beast in this chapter... enough said.

Chapter 8 - Girlfriend

Hailey walked down the hall mumbling to herself, what was she thinking? Inviting Tyler over to pull an all-nighter? She couldn't scratch the feeling of his hands on her skin out of her mind, the way his lips moved with hers expertly.

God, she thought heavily. It had been quite the experience; she had never gotten so much pleasure out of kissing a boy. Kissing had always been fun for her, and she loved to do it, but for some reason kissing Tyler had been so different.

His lips were just as she had pictured them, soft and plump, and the way his tongue darted around her mouth, fighting with hers for control. She shuddered; the thought alone of it gave her goose bumps.

Did she really think they would get work done tonight? If the thoughts that were running through her mind unraveled in real life, she wasn't sure if either of them would be leaving her room for quite some time.

She jogged down the stairs, taking two at a time to get to the lobby of the dormitory quicker. She cursed Reid for coming in when he did, and the way he did. He was such an asshole. Who knew what would have happened if the blonde Ipswich boy wouldn't have showed up, perhaps he would have walked in on something a little more intense, who knew?

Hailey let out a sigh and pulled her book bag on to her shoulder. She grabbed to Styrofoam cups and filled them with the strong black coffee that was always brewing in the lobby. She skillfully made it up to her room without spilling more than a few drops.

Placing the two cups down on the desk she flung her bag on to the spare bed and walked to her closet, looking for something decent to wear. She sighed and opted to pull on her night clothes. She grabbed a large Spencer senior t-shirt, a pair of dark blue shorts and her Spencer hooded sweatshirt and pulled the clothes on.

Her dorm was always freezing, she never really knew why, so she generally layered at night. She pulled her hair in to a high ponytail and pulled out her things, they didn't have a lot of work to do on the project but it was definitely about another nights worth of concentration.

A small knock came at the door and Hailey jumped off of her bed, she grabbed the two cups of coffee and answered the door skillfully. Her smile faded seeing a particular curly haired brunette on the other side of the door.

"Aaron, what the hell are you doing here?" She asked putting the cups of coffee down.

"Came by to see how your 'project' was going…" He stated looking at the books, but she knew he had a double meaning.

"It's going fine… and he's about to be here any minute so we can finish it up… since we're having movie night tomorrow we have to get it finished before tomorrow night…" She stated glaring up in to those blue eyes.

"You're spending an awful lot of time with him," Aaron stated.

Hailey was about to say something when Tyler appeared behind Aaron, raising a questioning eyebrow at her. She let the smile on her face grow at the sight of him.

"Tyler!" She exclaimed waving her hand to him. "Come on in…"

Aaron noted the genuine tone in her voice, it irked him a little bit too much. He sighed heavily and glared at Tyler as he squeezed through, placing a kiss on her cheek. She shot Aaron a look and he stuffed his hands in his pocket.

"Aaron staying?" Tyler asked carefully placing his book bag on the bed next to hers.

"Actually, he was just leaving…" Hailey remarked as Aaron's mouth fell open. "Right Aaron?" She asked him.

He pulled his mouth off of the ground and smiled at her, "Sure… I'll see you tomorrow, love…" He gave her a peck on the cheek, shot Tyler a nasty look and left.

She closed the door behind him and Tyler glanced at her for a moment, he had changed he was wearing a pair of black Adidas track pants and a white wife beater. She couldn't take the small off of her face to save her life. She instinctively grabbed the two cups of coffee and thrusted one towards the boy.

"So," She stated taking a seat on her bed and looking up at him.

Tyler refrained himself from practically jumping on top of her there, the way her hair was swept up in to a messy ponytail on the top of her head, and the shorts riding high up on those silky thighs, he took a sip of the black coffee to calm his nerves, and his hormones.

"We should probably get started, right?" He asked after a brief pause.

"Yeah," She nodded her head getting up and grabbing her bag.

"You don't have a roommate?" Tyler asked ten minutes later that had been sitting in silence reading through their notes.

"Nope, I was lucky enough to get roomed by myself…" She let out a small laugh at the thought.

"It gets lonely I bet," Tyler stated casually toying with the mechanical pencil in his right hand.

"Not so much, I actually like it…" She shrugged her shoulders and glanced at the empty bed. "Provost said that unless we get a new transfer I should be lonely up until graduation, but I'm not complaining…" She smiled.

"I can see how that's nice…" Tyler laughed thinking about the last few days Reid had purposely interrupted them. "No one to interrupt you if you're… busy…" He trailed off giving her a slow smirk.

Her smile grew and she nodded her head in agreement, leaning forward a bit, "No jerky blonde roommates to annoy the hell out of your guests…" She stated her head tilting to the side a bit, Tyler began leaning towards her.

"No compromising situations…" Tyler whispered before their lips met in a heated kiss.

Tyler's soft hands were cupping her chin, tilting her head back at the perfect angle so the taller boy could kiss her fully. A warm feeling rose in her stomach and fluttered upwards, she couldn't stop herself from lacing her hands around him and pulling him closer to her, falling back on to her bed.

His kisses were irresistible; his body irresistible; he was irresistible.

She had never felt so tempted to go against her better judgment. Tyler was turning her on without really trying. His body hovered over hers; they pulled apart briefly as her hands freed themselves from his hair and slipped to the edge of his wife beater.

Her fingers gripped on to the flimsy material, the definition of his abs showing and making her want him even more, Tyler's hands landed on top of hers stopping her from removing his shirt.

"I want you to know…" His words were corrupted by short breaths.

She sat up a bit, trying to remove his shirt, but he was holding her hands tightly in his, her lips came in contact with his, a smile creeping on her face. "Mmhmmm?" She asked her lips crushed against his neck her short fingernails slowly digging in to his abdomen.

"I'm not like Reid," He whispered in to her mop of messy dark brown hair.

She pulled away from his neck and looked at him, "That's obvious…" She stated giving him a questioningly look, her hands relaxing a bit.

"I mean, that I genuinely like you…" He let his lips brush her ear, sending goose bumps down her arms. "And I don't want to do anything you don't want to do…"

Hailey rested her forehead on the brunette's chest, and couldn't help but smile. He was right he was nothing at all like Reid. She looked up at him, pushing him back to sit down on the foot of her bed. She slowly crawled on top of him, letting her hair hang down in his face, tickling the boy slightly as her smile toyed with him.

"Tyler, you're wonderful…" She stated, letting her hands fool around in his hair, his large hands found their way to her hips as she kissed him softly.

Tyler deepened the kiss hungrily, he pulled her away, but not too far, his blue eyes searched hers shortly and he snuck his hands under the grey hoodie and felt the goose bumps forming on her soft skin.

"I want you to be my girlfriend…" He stated calmly.

Hailey stared at him a bit shocked, actually the entire situation shocked her. She instantly felt bad, she was genuinely starting to like this guy, and he liked her. She forced a playful smile on to her face leaning down a bit.

"Is that a question or a demand?" She asked cocking an eyebrow up at him.

"A little bit of both," He shrugged giving her a sexy look.

"Well then," She scoffed situating herself on top of his body. "I suppose I will have to oblige…" She grinned capturing his lips with hers again.

The next morning Hailey woke up groggily as the alarm on her clock started going off. She tried to roll over on her bed, but crashed in to something hard, and warm. She opened her eyes and saw the muscular back of a boy; she let out a startled scream and covered her mouth trying to not wake him.

She had thought last night was a dream, she peaked under the covers and saw the small piece of clothing covering his body and then at herself she was wearing his wife beater, and nothing else. She sat up, sitting Indian style, reaching over to turn off the stupid clock.

She swallowed hard and the body next to her shifted and turned to look up at her. She sighed; his smile was so infectious even at 5:30 in the morning.

She glanced over at the books strewn all over the dorm floor. They had actually finished their project, between making out and well… the obvious.

"Good morning," She gave him a small smile kissing him softly.

"A good morning it is…" He agreed running his soft finger tips over her bare legs.

Hailey was about to say something when a loud knock came at the door. She looked at Tyler and he gave her a questioning look, she groaned knowing exactly who it was going to be. Aaron. He always seemed to come over in the morning.

She rolled out of bed and got up, Tyler's wife beater stopping just below her plump bottom. She opened the door slightly and crossed her arms over her chest. Tyler sat up in bed resting an arm on his bent knee and waited for Aaron to start talking.

"Good Morning, love…" Aaron's voice was sweet to her, not his normal cocky or arrogant tone.

"G'morning Aaron…" He could see a faint smile on her lips as she pressed the left part of her body in to the door.

"You look good in my clothes," Aaron stated softly, Tyler could see his hand reach out and touch her arm softly.

"Aaron, don't…" She whispered pulling out of his reach slightly.

"What?" He could hear a hint of anger in her voice.

Tyler figured now would be the right time to intervene, she wouldn't have to explain anything. He cleared his throat loudly and pushed the covers off of his tall frame. Hailey turned and the door opened a bit wider and Aaron could see inside.

"Good morning Aaron…" Tyler stated as if it were the most natural thing for him to be in Hailey's room at five thirty in the morning and in nothing but boxers.

"Simms?" Aaron scoffed looking from Hailey to Tyler. "What the hell is going on Hailey?" Aaron growled lowly taking a few steps in to her room.

"Aaron, don't… please…" She pleaded with him. "We've got to get ready for school… I'll see you later, ok?" She asked pushing him gently back in to the hall.

Aaron didn't say anything else he just glared at Hailey before storming off. She shut the door and Tyler grabbed his track pants and pulled them on. He picked up his things as Hailey sat back down on the bed.

She watched him as he leaned down to pick up his things; he stuffed the last of it in his bag and leaned on the bed to get to her. He noted that his hair wasn't spiked up; it was hanging down in his face. She smiled and brushed it off to the side.

"What are you smiling for?" He asked placing a sweet kiss on her lips.

"I like your hair like this…" She whispered biting her bottom lip slowly.

"You do?" He asked running a hand over his flat hair.

"Mmmhmmm," She nodded her head.

Tyler just nodded and headed towards the door, "Do you want to ride with me to school?" He asked.

"Sure," She nodded her head with a smile.

Tyler gave her one last kiss before disappearing in to the hall, shirtless. She fell back on to her bed and let out a heavy sigh.

Shit, was the only thing she could think to say at the moment.

Her phone began to ring violently from its location on her nightstand; she crawled to the side of the bed that Tyler had occupied that night. Picking the phone up she already knew who it was going to be.

"Hello master," Her tone was dry as she rolled her green eyes.

"What the hell was that all about?" Aaron's voice came over the phone angry and rose.

"I'm his girlfriend now," Hailey responded almost robotically.

They were words foreign to her tongue, a feeling of guilt washing over her. She felt terrible for what she was doing to Tyler. He was a great guy, and simply amazing.

"But you slept with him?" Aaron asked scoffing.

"Well one thing lead to another last night and… yes…" She nodded her head as if the curly haired boy could see her.

"You're in over your head Hails…" He stated firmly.

"I'm not… I know what I'm doing." She insisted.

I think.

Aaron sighed heavily over the phone and offered her a ride to school; he hung up on her as soon as Tyler's name came out of her mouth. She let out an exasperated growl and tossed the phone to the other side of the room.

She grabbed her things for the showers and headed their hoping to beat the morning rush. She returned twenty minutes later and turned on her radio, turning the volume up loudly she danced around the room and got ready for school.

Gym Class Heroe's 'Cupid's Chokehold' began to play over the speakers.

"Take a look at my girlfriend; she's the only one I got…" Hailey sang along and the words slowly slipped in to her thought process.

Girlfriend, she thought. I am Tyler Simms' girlfriend… a small smile appeared on her face.

The only thoughts crossing her mind were not of the bet she had made with Aaron only nights ago, but the way those pink lips massaged hers, his soft fingertips on her bare skin, the way he knew exactly how to please her.

He did things that she didn't think were possible for Tyler Simms to do. Who knew that the shy, innocent Son of Ipswich was better than the, pronounced, Playboy of the group in bed? And he was hers.

This is all a part of a bet, Hailey. She reminded herself.

Now I am going to take my Tyler muse and disappear for awhile... muahaha...
