Chapter 17

He smirked knowingly at me. "I'm sure you were." Ignoring his comment, I walked towards him to get a closer look at his tattoo. I don't know why, but I was intrigued. When I was near him, I saw that the tattoo was a symbol. I've never seen a symbol like that before and I was curious. "What does it mean?" I asked. He looked at the tattoo and then looked back at me. "It means strength." He then smile mischievously. "You can touch it if you want. You know you want to." I rolled my eyes and snorted. "I'm not touching your-" The rest of my words were cut off as Tyler grabbed my hands and pulled me towards him. Taken off guard, I lost my balance and fell on top of him. "Tyler!" I screamed, shock by what he had done. He wrapped his arms around me, pinning me down so I couldn't move. "Tyler, let me go this instant!" Tyler's chest rumbled as he laughed. I was very aware that I was lying on his naked chest. Tyler's eyes twinkle with laughter. He was clearly enjoying himself. "Tyler, if you don't-" My warning was cut short as I heard the handle to Tyler's room door turning. I snapped my head around in surprise, my eyes widening in shock. Oh God, this was going to be embarrassing! There was nothing I could do, but wait for whoever it was to enter the room. "Come on. I understand that you guys are anxious to go at each other, but at least have the decency to bolt the door next time." The person who had spoken was Seth. He was standing in the doorway, an amused smile on his face. He held a pack of beer in his hand. I felt my face heat up at what he said. I heard Tyler chuckle, making me realize that I was still on top of him. He finally let go of me and I stand up instantly. "I...um...we weren't...he..." I trailed off as I fumbled to get the right words out. My face was getting redder by the second. I was a little embarrass that Seth walked in on us in that position, although, I was glad that it wasn't Tyler's mom. That would have been super awkward. Suddenly, both boys burst into laughter. I crossed my arms and glared at both of them. Finally, they stopped laughing and Seth said. "Man, you should have seen your face." "Ha ha. Very funny. I'm going to get you back for that." I said to Seth. Seth looked behind me at Tyler, who was now standing beside me. "You have a funny girl here, Tyler." "First of all, I'm not Tyler's girl and secondly, do you guys just walk into each other's house like that?" I asked. "When I texted Tyler earlier, he said that I should just come right in." Seth answered as he walked over to the table and placed the pack of beer on it. "I didn't know I was stopping something from happening." He looked at me and smirked. I rolled my eyes. "Would you quit it? Nothing was happening. The only reason I'm here is because I'm locked out of my house." "Right." Seth teased and Tyler walked over to him and bump fist. "You know what? I don't have time for you idiots," I said as my eyes shifted to the beer on the table. "You can carry on doing whatever it is you're going to do. I'm going downstairs to find something to occupy my time." Before I could turn and leave, Tyler said. "I know what you can do to occupy your time." He smirked mischievously. "No thank you, Tyler. I'm not going to be one of your conquest." I said. Tyler raised his eyes in fake shock. "I wasn't talking about that." He said, but he was still smirking mischievously. We both know that he was making a sexual comment. "I was referring to you having a drink and joining us." "Right." I said at his lame cover up. "Well, no thank you. I don't want to take part in being irresponsible morons." As I said that, Seth's phone rings and he took it from his pocket and answered it. He spoke into the receiver for a few seconds before hanging up. He looked at Tyler. "That was my mom. She wants me to get a few things for her." "Okay, cool man." Tyler did the guy fist bump thing with him, before Seth takes up his car keys from the table beside the beer and walked back through the door. Tyler turned to face me again. "So it's just you and me now." Rolling my eyes, I walked over to his bed and sat on the end of it, leaning my back on the wall behind me. I took out my phone out of my pocket, deciding to check my social medias to pass time. I had just sign into my Snapchat account, when Tyler sat on the bed and took my phone from my hands. "Tyler! What are you doing?" I said, scrambling for my phone, but Tyler moved quickly away from me on the bed. "Come on, give that back!" "Nope." He said grinning. Annoyed, I wanted to smack the grin off his face. "I said, give me back my phone!" I said, trying to sound threatening. I crawled on the bed towards him and stretched for my phone. However, the more I stretched for it, he moved his hand further away from me. In my movements to get back my phone, I didn't realize that I was fully on the bed beside Tyler. My body was pressed up against his as I tried to retrieve my phone. In order to reach my phone, I'd have to climb on him fully. And there's no way I was doing that. "Do you want your phone?" Tyler asked me, smirking. Trying not to be affected by our position, I nodded. "Yes!"
