CHAPTER 36
..
Just perfect. Why now? Life really hates me right now.
“Well, we’ll take the one bed offer then.” Tyler shrugged.
“Okay that’ll be $50. 89. But we’ll take $30. 89 since it’s so late.” Yeah sure, that’s totally the reason. It’s not because your hoping for Tyler to fall for you because your so nice.
“Room 112 on the second floor.” She smiled with red cheeks and gave the key to Tyler.
“Thanks.” He gave her one quick angle smile before we walked to room 112.
When we in the elevator, I glared at him. “Why did you flirt with her? To et a discount? I taught your pockets are stuffed with money.”
“I don’t have alt of money with me and I don’t have my credit card. Besides who cares, are you
that jealous?” Tyler smirked.
I kicked him in the shin and I kicked him hard . “I am not jealous.” I glared at him.
“Oh c’mon, we’re not going to go through with this again.”
“Shut up jerk.” I stated right before the elevator door opened to the second floor. Why did that elevator ride feel so long? We only went up a floor.
We both walked to room 112 and the room was decent. It wasn’t big, but it was comfortable looking. I slipped my shoes off and jumped right on the bed. Who knew you could feel this good on a bed. Well everyone loves to sleep.
I haven’t been on one when I’m supposed to be. It’s like three in the morning.
“Your sleeping on the floor.” I muttered to Tyler tiredly. Only if there was a couch in here…
“Your kidding right? If anyone’s sleeping on the floor, it’s you, since your the one who mentioned it.” Tyler lay on the bed next to me.
“Your the guy.” I whined.
“Your the girl.” He mimicked me.
“Your supposed to be the gentlemen.” I turned my head to look at him and noticed our faces were inches apart. I stared into his sparkling green eyes. It felt like an eternity- staring at each other- but I know it’s only been like twenty seconds before I pulled my head away.
My eyes couldn’t stay open anymore. I’m just too sleepy…
••••••••
I woke up but didn’t bother opening my eyes because I know when I do, the light will hurt my eyes and ruin the perfect sleep I just awoke from.
And something smelled amazing. I didn’t want the scent to leave my nose.
I breathed in the smell and finally opened my eyes to see a back. And my nose was inches away from that back. And it was a sexy back.
My eyes widened in realization and I pulled away. My arms were wrapped around Tyler waist and k was practically laying on top of him.
I slowly got off the bed and signed in relief when I saw that Tyler was still sleeping.
I didn’t even know we sleep together. Okay, that’s sounded wrong. But together together, just in the same bed. I must have fallen asleep before I had the chance to push Tyler to the ground. He feel asleep too vehicle j know he didn’t plan this either.
Why couldn’t I push him in my sleep instead of wrapping my arms around him?
Oh god…
I walked around the bed and pushed Tyler. “Wake up.” I said softly. We have to get back home.
Tyler groaned and sat up. “You ahold let me sleep more, you were bothering me all night. I kept pushing you away but you kept in moving closer to me.”
My cheeks burned in embarrassment. Did I really do that?
“I mean, I know you like me, but give it a rest.” He smirked.
I rolled my eyes, still feeling embarrassed but tried to hide it. “Keep on dreaming.”
“Don’t worry, I will.” He winked.
Let’s just go before you miss your soccer game. “I sure hope my mom isn’t going to find out I missed school. She is going to freak.”
“So will mine, cause my cousin Caleb has to be at my place about now.” He looked at his phone and it read read 1:56.
“Shit, did we really sleep that long?” I said as I out my shoes on.
“Yeah, and you made yourself pretty comfortable.” He did his cute smirk.
Cute smirk?! What am I saying?
Snap out of it Lexi!

#Lexi’s POV:

“Where the hell were you?!” Emily shouted as soon as she saw me enter her room.
“I was uh… with Tyler.” I said.
“What?” Shock was clear on her face.
“I was with-”
“No I heard you, I’m just surprised. I thought you guys hated each other.” She smiled.
“I taught so too, but I think we may have become friends?” Even I’m confused…
“Or more than friends.” Emily moved her eyebrows up and down.
“No, we’re only fake dating for his dads sake. Tyler’s dad thinks Tyler can’t have a real girlfriend.” I explained.
“Well, can he?” Emily sat on her bed, leaning her back on the end of the bed, as she wrapped her arms around her knees that are brought up to her chest.
“I don’t know.” I say. “After seeing him ditch Courtney at the mall when we tried to set them up, I don’t really know. He just left her. He was waiting for me to tell me something and then I had to puke all over him. Now he doesn’t even want to tell me for some reason.”
“Mhm.” Emily nodded. “We’re just going to have to ask Courtney.”
“How should she know?” I looked at her in confusion.
“Well, he left her right after we left them, maybe she knows something.” She said. “And speaking of Courtney, she was looking for you at school today. I can’t believe you ditched.”
“It wasn’t my fault.” I mumbled and sat myself on the edge of her bed.
“Well, don’t forget about Tyler’s soccer game today. You missed school, but you can’t miss this. Tyler’s dad and his dads girlfriend are going to be there.”
Why did I get myself into this mess? I hate going to games.
“Will you come with me?” I smiled at her in a way saying, ‘you have to come or else I’m going to kill you’.
“Of course.”
••••••••••
“There’s an empty spot over there. Both of us can fit.” Emily pointed to a spot on the bleachers in the middle.
There was so many people here. So many people liked to watch the soccer game. Even though it’s just a bunch of guys fighting for a damn ball. They’re just dribbling a soccer ball around a field.
Emily and I finally got to the spot we wanted to. I had to say a lot of ‘sorry’ apologies and “my bad’s’ to get there. Cause I was stepping on a lot of feet.
“Where’s Mr. Evans?” I asked.
“Right here.” I flinched in surprise when someone behind me said that.
I turned around to see Tyler’s dad and his girlfriend holding arms.
What a coincidence? We sat right in front of them.
“So, we heading out to dinner after the game?” He asked.
“Sure.” I smiled sweetly at both of them.
“And your friend can come to.” He told me before he looked at Emily and introduced himself.
“I’d love to, but I have to babysit my baby cousin after this.” Emily explained.
“Maybe another time.” He said and went back to his own business.
