Chapter Sixteen

Do you love him?

Tyler was incredibly drunk from the club. Everyone agreed it would be a good idea I took him home so he could sleep off the alcohol. Tyler was holding my hand as he clumsily walked up the stairs. We were at his house going up to his room.

"Do you want a shirt?" he asked. His words still slurred but now it was a bit easier to understand what he was saying. I nodded my head and he walked over to his dresser. I agreed to stay here with him tonight, just in case. He threw me a shirt that I quickly threw over my head. I reached under the shirt so I could unzip my dress.

"Do you have any pants I can wear?" He smirked and shook his head. I rolled my eyes then sat on his bed. "Alright then." Tyler sat next to me and brought his shirt up over his head. He sighed and laid his head on his pillow. I lay down to and we looked at each other.

"Why don't you want to be with me?" he asked. His voice sounded sad and more sober than before. I was almost shocked by his question but I also understood why he would think that.

"It's not like that Tyler and you know it," I said hearing the own sadness in my voice. He didn't respond so I continued. "It's just I'm with Matt right now and I like him a lot." Tyler sighed.

"Do you love him?" he asked. I was more so shocked by this question then the last one. I really had to think about my answer. Did I love Matt? I do but the little crush I had on Tyler is still there. I still liked Tyler.

"I don't know," I replied honestly. Tyler started playing with my hair and scooted closer to me.

"Maybe…maybe I'll have a chance with you someday." He said. If I weren't dating Matt I would have leaned over and kissed Tyler. But I didn't.

"Let's get some sleep," I said. I turned so I wasn't facing him anymore. He put his arm across my abdomen and pulled me close so my back was against his chest. He tangled our legs together and I felt so warm lying against him. Anywhere our skin meant had instant warmth.

"I love you," he whispered right before I knew he was asleep. There's no way he could mean that. He was half asleep. He doesn't mean it. I didn't sleep that night, I couldn't sleep, and by ten I had to leave.

I quickly found a pen and a piece of paper writing a quick note.

T-

Had to leave early. Call me later

I quickly got in my car and drove to my house. My mom was in the kitchen when I got home.

"Hey mom," I said. I was still in Tyler's shirt but I had found a pair of shorts in my car.

"Hi Hun, where were you last night?" she asked with concern in her voice.

"I had to stay and Tyler's last night. He drank a little too much last night and he wanted me to stay with him just in case." I had the feeling that my mother suspected something more than sleeping happened last night. "That was it." She nodded her head and sighed.

"Well you just missed your father, he had to leave to New York for a business conference. He said he would call you when he got in." I nodded my head and left to go upstairs to my room. My room was a mess right now. I walked over to my mirror. Make-up was smeared under my eyes and my hair was everywhere. No wonder my mom thought something else happened last night. My phone rang in my pocket and I quickly reached to retrieve it. Caller ID said it was Matt.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi, did you get my text?" He asked excitedly. I looked at my phone and just noticed his text message.

"I did now," I laughed. "Why you so excited?" he chuckled.

"You'll find out," he said then he hung up. I was confused. The doorbell rang a second later and I heard my mom's voice from upstairs. Footsteps padded against the stairs towards my room. Whoever it was is probably going to think I'm so pshycopath just standing and staring at my doorway, then a head of black hair poked around the corner. I smiled and ran toward him.

"Miss me?" He asked. I pulled him into my room and shut the door. He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Loads," I smiled. He picked my up so my legs were around his waist and I rested my forehead against his. "I look like crap." He laughed and shook his head.

"You never look ugly to me, you're always the beautiful girl I fell in love with." I smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Is this you saying that you love me?" I asked smiling. He gave me a look like he was thinking really hard about it.

"Yes, I love you." He said. He'd place a small kiss on my face after each word and the last one landed on my lips.

"I love you too." I smiled the kissed him on the lips. He wrapped his arms tighter around me deepening the kiss. I hopped off of him but never broke away from his lips. I stared to walk backwards and eventually landed on my bed with him on top of me at first. As we scooted further up on the bed I turned so I was hovering over him.

"I love you," he said again. I kept kissing him and he put his hands onto my thighs. I was starting to wonder if I was taking things to fast but I don't know if I want to stop. I kissed down his jawline and he shivered. I smiled against his skin. I looked at him and saw the lust in his green eyes.

"Should I stop?" I asked. He shook his head and brought his face back to mine.

"Only if you want to. I won't make you do anything you don't want to do." I smiled again and grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"I don't want to stop."
