Chapter 50

We stood in each other arms for a while and then I said. "By the way, why didn't you wait until tomorrow to see me instead of climbing through my window?" "I had to see you and besides I missed you." He answered. "Me too." I confessed. "I didn't know that when we ended things that I'd feel this way. I'm glad that you suggested this deal." Tyler lifted his eyebrows in question. "Any regrets?" I shook my head without thinking about it. "None." "Good because I'm not planning on letting you go again." He replied. After a while he said. "I should go, but for some reason, I can't seem to get my body to move." I laughed. "I know what you mean, but you should go." Tyler lifted his eyebrows playfully. "So you want me to go?" "Of course not, but I know that if I don't make a move we're both going to be here all night." I said. "And remember we have school tomorrow." Tyler laughed at that. A little bit too loud. My eyes went wide and I brought my finger to his lips. "Shhh Tyler." I said in a whisper. "You're going to wake my parents. I can't let them come in here and see you." He took my hand that I held on his lips and enclosed it with his. "That wouldn't be good, would it?" "Not at all." I shook my head. "My parents like you, but they wouldn't like the idea of you being in my room." "Well then, I guess I better go now." He replied as he moved away from me. He walked over to my window, but before he went through it, he turned back around and walked back towards me. "Why are you turning back?" I asked. "I forgot something." Was his reply as he wrapped his arms around my waist again and pulled me closer for a soft, lingering kiss. When he pulled back, he looked me straight in the eyes and whispered. "I love you." I smiled at him, my heart beating rapidly at his words. I didn't expect him to say that but by the look in his eyes, I could tell that he didn't want to delay how he was feeling. I wanted him to know my feelings as well, so I said. "And I love you, Tyler King." His lips stretched into a smile. "Good night." He said as he stepped away from me. "Good night." This time, he went to my window and climbed out. I watched him as he climbed down the tree and over the fence. When he was inside his room again, he looked over my room and winked at me. I lifted my hand and waved at him. That night when I went to bed, it was the happiest I've ever felt. "I don't have to ask why you two are holding hands and looking like a couple." Tori said as soon as she saw Tyler and I the following day. We walked over to where she stood. "Hello to you too, Tori." Tori smiled. "So you two are dating for real now, right?" "Yes it's real." Tyler supplied wrapping his arms around me. "I knew something was up all along. I was just waiting for you both to admit it. I've never seen fake dating looked so real before." She emphasized. I smiled at Tori's excitement. "Yes Tori, you were right." "Of course I was. I know a perfect match when I see one." She said proudly. "Yes and I'm not letting her go so easily." Tyler added sending a wink my way. "Awww," Tori sighed. "Tan Lindo." After a while she said. "Anyway, I hope you didn't forget that today is the girl's soccer team championship game." "Yes, I remember." I nodded. How could I? They had announààced it in assembly yesterday. "So, are you going?" She asked hopefully. "It's the last game of the season." "Of course I'm going. I am definitely going to give Stephanie my support. Plus, I would really like to see how a soccer match is played." I said. Tori looked at Tyler. "Are you coming as well, Tyler?" "Of course he's coming." I answered for him. "Yeah, what she said." Tyler confirmed. "Great." Tori replied. "I'm going to class. I'll see you guys later." Tori bid us goodbye and head to her class. Tyler and I had English together. He followed me to my locker and then we went to his. I leaned on the locker beside his and waited for him to get his books. As I stood there, I spotted Logan at his locker a few rows down. He wasn't looking at us, he was busy inside his locker. The whole situation brought me to think about that very first time when I walked over here and kissed Tyler. Looking back, I can't believe I really did that. I was really brave and confident which wasn't normally me. All I could think about at the time was getting Logan off my back. It worked, but that wasn't the best thing that came out of this whole situation. I got Tyler out of this. Also, I can't believe we pulled it off without anyone knowing that it was fake. Well, that doesn't matter now because we weren't faking anymore. If I thought about it, I didn't regret making this deal with Tyler because we wouldn't be a couple now. I smiled to myself. Yup, I wouldn't change a thing about what I did that day. "What are you smiling about?" Tyler asked as he closed his locker. I snapped out of the memory and looked at him. "I'm just remembering the first time I came here to your locker." I confessed. Tyler smiled and leaned his shoulder on his locker. "Yeah, I remember that day perfectly clear. It was all I could think about actually." I watched him closely. "Yeah right." I stated unconvinced.
