Later that evening, Rissa was driving toward the Lockwood mansion after getting a cryptic text message from Becca that said 'come to the house now, we need to talk'. Rissa could only think of one reason she needed to talk, Tyler. Rissa figured after Becca thought about the fact that she had a crush on her brother, she was now pissed at her, she just hoped she could get her best friend to forgive her.
A few mintues later, she parked her car in the driveway and exited the car then made her way to the front door. She pressed the door bell then waited for Becca to answer, but when the door opened she was surprised to see Tyler standing in front of her. "Hey baby Forbes, what are you doing here?" Tyler asked with a suprised yet happy look on his face.
"I-I'm.. um.. suppose to be meeting Becca." Rissa stuttered, then added,"she sent me a text to meet her here."
"That's funny, cause she just left but she told me to stay here cause she had a package being delivered." Tyler answered with a confused expression on his face.
"Really?" Rissa asked surprised, 'what are you up to Becca?' She thought to herself.
"Maybe you got the time wrong?" Tyler suggested, then added,"you're welcome to come inside to wait if you want, I was about to order a pizza if you wanted to join me."
"You sure? I mean you don't have other plans or a.. um... date?" Rissa asked, she was secretly hoping he would say 'no'.
"Nah, I'm flying single at the moment." Tyler answered, as he shot her a grin.
"Ok, but only if you're sure." Rissa said.
"I'm sure, now get in here." Tyler said, as he lightly grabbed her arm and pulled her inside the house.
"You want to go watch a movie or something?" Tyler asked, as he pointed to the living room.
"Sure." Rissa said, then added,"let me just send my sister a quick text and I'll be there."
"Ok." Tyler said, as he walked into the living room, leaving her alone in the foyer. After Tyler was gone, Rissa grabbed her cellphone out of her purse and quickly sent her sister a text, asking her if she had seen Becca or if she they had been plotting against her. Emma quickly wrote back and said,'no haven't seen Becca, why? What's going on' Rissa wrote back and told her about Becca's text then getting to the house but only Tyler was there. 'You naughty girl, are you going to jump him?' Emma wrote back.
Rissa giggled then wrote back,'no, we're going to watch a movie.'
'What are you waiting for then? Stop talking to me and go be with your crush, unless you need pointers.' Emma wrote.
'The only thing you know how to do is turn a guy down, don't believe me, ask Kol.' Rissa wrote back.
'Trust me he deserves everything I do to him. Now go be with your man, but I want details later' Emma said, ending the conversation. Rissa placed her phone back into her purse then walked into the living room where Tyler was already sitting on the couch with the remote in his hand ready to start the movie.
"Hey, you like horror movies right?" Tyler asked, as she walked into the living room.
"Yeah, love them." Rissa lied as she sat down in a chair beside the couch, the truth was she hated horror movies and usually had to sleep with Emma afterwards because of nightmares, but she wasn't going to tell him that. She had her first chance to hang with him alone and she wasn't going to ruin it.
"What are you doing way over there?" Tyler asked, then he patted the sit beside him then added,"come over here so you can see better."
"Ok." Rissa mumbled, as she stood up and walked over to the couch. She tried to control her emotions as she sat down beside started the movie then sat the remote down on the coffee table and laid his arm beside hers on the couch, causing her heart to race at the contact. They watched in silence for a few minutes until Tyler cleared his throat and asked,"so earlier at the grill, what were you and Becca talking about?"
"Just girl talk." Rissa answered, the last thing she was going to do was tell him the truth.
"I heard her say something about you having a crush, who's the lucky guy?" Tyler asked a little harshly then he meant, although he wasn't sure why it bothered him that she had a crush on someone.
"Noone you know." Rissa lied.
"Don't tell me it's one of those jerk originals, I know the Forbes girls have a habit of liking them." Tyler said, then added,"wait, is that why you don't want to say, cause it's Klaus or Kol."
"What? No." Rissa said, then added without thinking,"the thing I need to do is go after one of my sister's guys again."
"Again?" Tyler asked,"so the guy is a guy that dated one of your sisters?"
"No." Rissa lied again, then she pointed to the tv and said,"wow, this movie is really good." Tyler glanced over at her as he tried to racked his brain on who her crush was, although he still wasn't sure why he even cared to find out. He was suddenly taken by surprise when she screamed and buried her head in his shoulder when the killer appeared on tv and scared her. Tyler chuckled as Rissa cried out,"turn it off, turn it off."
He leaned forward and grabbed the remote to turn the movie off before saying with a laugh,"ok it's off, you can look now." Rissa lifted her head and looked at him then said,"thanks."
"No problem." Tyler said back, as he looked at her and felt his heart skip a beat, which surprised him, that had never happened to him. Tyler and Rissa continued to stare at each other, until the door bell rang through out the house
#$%%^$%^
Emma looked down at her phone in with a big grin again. Her twin was finally going to get her move with Tyler, but one thing did confuse her. Where was Becca, and why hadn't she involved her in this scheme of hers? When did she even leave? When did Rissa and Tyler leave? How long had been playing pool with Kol? How did she miss all of that? The sound of Kol's laughter caught her attention. She rolled her eyes at him 'that's why I missed so much.' She thought to herself. "Is Becca with me?" She reread her sister's text out loud again. She glanced around the pub really quick to see if she just missed her friend, but shook her head when she saw that she didn't. "Before you go smooch your crush over there, is Becks missing? Did big bad Klaus aduct her for blowing up his car?" She asked herself as she texted her twin back.
She laughed at her own humor and shook her head. She was just too funny some times. She didn't even know where she came up with this stuff some times. It just came to her out of no where, not that she minded much. "What do you mean aducted by Klaus?" Emma turned to find Jeremy standing behind her now. When did he get here? Was she talking out loud again? Rissa told her to stop doing that. "Speaking of Becca, have you seen her? Or Rissa? I need to talk to one of them about our history project." He asked her.
Emma didnt know what to tell him. She felt her phone vibrate and motioned for Jeremy to hold on a minute as she looked down at her cell. It was a text from her twin. 'No clue. She set us up. G2G watching movie.' It read. A smirk appeared on her lips as she realized that Becca had set up her twin and her own brother. Jeremy cleared his throat to get her attention back. She looked up, suddenly remembering him being there. "Oh, uh, I haven't seen Becca since the whole car blowing up incident earlier. Rissa at Tyler's house with just him though." She told him. He did something that majorly confused her then. He actually looked jealous and upset. What was going on? And where the heck was Becca?
$%^$%^$&%^
After talking to Rissa and coming up with a brilliant plan to get her brother and best friend together, Becca left the grill and planned to head to her boyfriend Jeremy's house, to give the new lovebirds some alone time. She took a few steps then paused as she begin to feel guilt, not for plotting against her best friend, but for what they all did to Klaus that morning. Sure he wasn't the nicest vampire in town, but she did view him as a friend and when she saw the hurt expression on his face as he watched his car blow up, she instantly regretted what they did. Becca sighed as she turned around and begin to walk toward the Mikaelson's mansion.
After walking for a good bit, she finally came upon the huge house and walked up the stairs to the front door. She reached out to ring the door bell, then glanced at the driveway and felt guilt hit her again as she saw a few car parts still scattered around. "Come to blow something else away?" Klaus asked angrily, as he opened the door and took Becca by surprise.
"Yes, I mean no... I mean the reason I am here is to apologize." Becca stuttered, then added softly,"we never planned to blow up your car."
"Well for not planning to do something, you lot did a damn good job." Klaus said.
"Sorry." Becca said again, then explained,"it was just suppose to be a prank, it was suppose to be smoke bombs."
"Why?" Klaus asked, as he stared at the beautiful brunette in front of him.
"Why what?" Becca asked, confused.
"Why would you even prank me?" Klaus said, as he took a step toward her and smirked when he saw the look that crossed her face. He loved making her feel uncomfortable and getting under her skin.
"It was just suppose to be fun." Becca mumbled, as she took a step back. She really didn't mind being close to him, but knew since she had a boyfriend, who wasn't the man standing in front of her, she should keep her distance.
"But why me, Becca?" Klaus asked, as he reached out to lightly stoke her arm then added,"I know we're not best mates, but I at least thought we were friends, maybe even close friends?"
"Klaus..." Becca whispered, as she felt a tingle from her head to her toe from his light touch on her arm. She wasn't sure exactly what she was feeling for him, but she knew it was wrong. Before Becca or Klaus could say anything else, her cellphone begin to ring, breaking the moment they were having. Becca quickly slipped her phone out of the front pocket of her pants and placed the phone up to her ear as she continued to stare at Klaus.
"Becca? Where are you?" Emma's voice said over the phone.
"I-I'm just running a errand." Becca lied, as she turned away from Klaus. She hated lying to her friend, but she knew Emma would freak if she knew where she really was.
"Hey, did you plot to set up Tyler and Rissa?" Emma asked.
"Yeah that was me, why? Did the plan backfire, is Rissa mad?" Becca asked worried, the last thing she wanted to do was make her friend mad, but she knew if she got Rissa alone with her brother, Tyler would fall for her and they could both be happy.
"No actually the plan is working great, I just wished I was a part of it." Emma pouted.
"Don't worry, Em, next time we'll plan for them to hang out together." Becca promised her.
"Awesome." Emma cheered, then added,"alright I'll let you, plus you need to call Jeremy, he was here earlier looking for you and he seemed weird or something."
"Weird how?" Becca asked confused.
"I dunno, maybe he was worried he couldn't find you or something." Emma said, then yelled,"Kol stop it, that's not how you hold the stick." Becca couldn't help but chuckle at Emma's outburst, she could only imagine what Kol was doing now to annoy her.
"Then show me how you hold a stick." Becca heard Kol saying over the phone.
"Ew Kol, don't be creepy." Emma said to him, then said to Becca,"I need to go, Kol is being... well Kol."
Becca laughed then said,"alright talk to you later." After ending the call, Becca slipped her phone back in her pocket then glanced up and gasped in surprise when she saw Klaus standing in front of her.
"Now where were we, sweetheart?" Klaus asked her.
"I need to go." Becca mumbled, as she quickly turned around and ran as fast as she could from the Mikaelson's mansion. All she knew was she needed to get away from Klaus before she made a big mistake.
%&^%^&%^&
Tyler, for Rissa's sake only, put on a movie that was in no way relateable to a horror movie. The Smurfs. Little blue men, which the exception of Smurfette, who was the only girl in the whole village. Tyler was not only bored, but he was starving because the pizza man was late. All was good though, because Becca's package came, but that wasn't the real reason he was okay with the stupid movie that he was being forced to watch.
He glanced down at the girl sitting beside him and gave her a small smile. He didn't understand why he was smiling at Rissa the way he was, or why he hated the thought of her liking someone that wasn't him, but he wasn't going to do anything about it either. She was baby Forbes, Emma's good twin, and not to mention his ex girlfriend's little sister. Course, that didn't stop him from pulling the old yawn and put your arm around the girl trick.
He was leaning over to do just that as he stretched and yawn when she suddenly jumped forward and up onto her feet. "I'm gonna go get popcorn since the pizza is taking forever." She squeaked out. His eyes widened as he realized that he was leaning too far and that he was going to fall over. Luckily he caught himself before she turned to see if he wanted anything. He shook it off and told her that he'd wait for the pizza. She shrugged her shoulders and went to go make the popcorn.
She ended up taking forever on the popcorn, leaving him to watch the boring ass movie all alone. He ended up dozing off on it, only to be woken up, quite rudely he might add, by popcorn hitting his face. He jumped up from his sleep startled as he looked around, only to find Rissa standing there, not happy, with a big bowl of popcorn. "What? What is it? Is the pizza here?" He asked her as he looked around.
She rolled her eyes at him and just threw another piece of popcorn at him, catching him off guard. "You fell a sleep and didn't pause the movie! As Emma would say, you jerk face!" She told him with a small laugh as she threw more popcorn at him. He jumped up suddenly, catching her by surprise as he picked her up off the ground. She shrieked out in laughter as the bowl dropped from her hands and she went up over his shoulder. "Tyler!" She shrieked out as she clenched onto his shirt as he spun her around.
Just then the door bell rang, cutting through the laughter filling the room from their fun. "Finally! Pizza!" Tyler said out as he carried her down the hallway towards the front door. He used his free hand to open the door. "Hey, man, I ordered that," He paused when he saw that it wasn't the pizza man, but instead someone else. "Oh, uh, hey, Gilbert. What are you doing here? Becca's not home." He told him as he set Rissa down slowly back on the ground.
Jeremy's jaw clenched angrily as he looked at the two before him. He couldn't help but feel jealous when seeing them. He didn't like them together, and he didn't understand it at all. He just didn't. "Uh, yeah. Emma said that Rissa was over here, and I need help on our project. I figured since I can't find Becca, that I'd ask you instead." He explained to her as he tried his best to keep his cool in front of them.
Rissa was now completely and utterly confused. If Becca wasn't with Emma or Jeremy, where the heck was she? She shared a look with Tyler and felt guilty almost. She really wanted to stay and hang out with him, but she did need to help Jeremy with their project too. School came before crushes. She knew that for a fact. So in the end, she sighed and looked up at Tyler. "I should, uh, go help him. Rain check on the pizza?" She asked him. He nodded and gave her a quick awkward hug before watching her leave with Jeremy. His eyes brows scrunched up in confusion as he saw Jeremy shoot him a dirty look over his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around Rissa as he led her towards his car.
