Chapter 21

I stopped in my tracks and shot him a glare. "I don't get it. Why do I have to go?" He turned back to my direction and shot me a mischievous smirk. "Because you're my girlfriend, remember?" "Oh yeah." I groaned in defeat. To be honest, I had forgotten that detail. I breathed a heavily sigh and grumbled under my breath. "I hate this." I didn't think Tyler heard me until he shot me a grin. "I know, that's why it's fun." I rolled my eyes at him. "Just get in the car and let's get this over with." "Okay, right after I do this." Just as he said that, he turned around and walked back to me. As soon as he reached where I stood, he wrapped his arms around my waist. My eyes widen in surprise. "What are you-?" Before I could finish my sentence, Tyler pulled me closer and brought his lips to mine. I lost all thought processing as he began to kiss me. Once again, I became captivated by his kisses and losing all sensible thoughts; I kiss him back. The kiss was sweet and passionate and it took my breath away. Everything else around me faded away and all I could focus on was his lips on mine. Finally, after what seems like forever, he pulled away. I looked up at him and cleared my throat, trying to get myself together. "What was that for?" A sly smirk appeared on his lips. "Just putting on a show for your ex boyfriend." It took a while for my foggy brain to register what he was talking about. Finally, my brain began to function again and my eyes widen with realization. I didn't even know Logan was still behind us. Now it all made sense. "It looks like he didn't like the season finale." I didn't dare to look behind me, but I can imagine that he didn't. A wide smile spread across my face as I imagined the look on his face. "Genius." "I know." Tyler responded. I rolled my eyes at him and placed my hands on his chest to push him away from me. "Get in the car, Tyler. I hope you and your ego can fit." Tyler chuckled as I walk over to the passenger side of the car and got in. For the entire car ride, I couldn't help my mind from going back to the kiss in the parking lot. I didn't like that I was thinking about it, because I can't allow Tyler to get to me like how he gets to all the other girls at our school. Besides, it was a mere kiss done to make Logan jealous. The sooner I stop thinking about it, the better. Gosh, I really was regret agreeing to this deal. Within five minutes, Tyler pulled his car in front of the cafe. It has been awhile since I've been here. The last time I was here, I was striking a dangerous deal with the most obnoxious boy I've ever met. Tyler and I exited the car and entered the coffee shop. As we entered, I saw that it was crowded with students. Students from our school and nearby schools. I was surprised it was crowded, because it was only a Tuesday afternoon. "Yow, Tyler! Over here!" I heard someone shouted. I turned my attention to where the voice came from and saw a table in the corner of the cafe, loaded with a few boys on our school's football team. Seth was also there and a few other boys who weren't on the team. A few girls was there as well. Tyler walked over in their direction and I followed him. When we reached their table, Tyler hit his fist with the guys. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable standing there. One of the boys look over in my direction. "So, this is your girl. Glad you brought her." I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes at 'your girl'. Tyler, however, was enjoying this. He turned to look at me and grinned. "Yeah. Emily, this is Ryan." He pointed to the guy who spoke, before introducing everyone else. I already knew most of them already through gossip. Tyler sat down on the end of the seat. My face drop with realization as I saw that it was the last space on the seat. Before I could decide where to sit, Tyler's hand grasped mine and pulled me to sit on his lap. I was surprised at his action, but I had to clamp down my protest. I didn't want anything to look suspicious. Playing along, I turned to Tyler and gave him a sickly sweet smile. However, behind that smile, I was scowling at him and he knew that. I turned around to face the others and indulged in their conversation, while trying my best not to squirm in Tyler's lap. ++++++ We stayed at the coffee shop for an hour, before everyone decided to leave. All they did was talked and I listened. The only time I contributed to the conversation was when I was asked a direct question. I was glad when they decide to leave, because they were boring me with their guy talk. Everyone had now left and Tyler and I was the only one left. Tyler went outside to wait on me, while I went to use the restroom. When I came from the restroom and walked from the coffee shop, I saw Tyler leaning against his car, making out with a girl. I shook my head as I walked over to him. Was he crazy? Did he have any idea what his crazy stunt will cause? As I reached in front of him, I cleared my throat. He abruptly pulled away from the girl and they both turned to face me. The girl wasn't even embarrassed, she just looks at me, annoyed that I disrupted her make out session. Desperate much? I stood silent with my arms crossed.
