I then started having a coughing fit. When it was over my face was bright red. Tyler was still looking at me, so instead of saying anything I ran downstairs and got a big tall glass of water.
"No later than one minute, Katy' s heels were clicking down the wooden floor,along with Tyler's tennis shoes. "She'll go with you Tyler. Say.... seven-ish??" God. Katy could be so embarrassing!
"So it's a date then, I look forward to it Clair."
"I bet you do..." Tyler left the room.
"What the hell Katy!?" I practically screamed in her face.
"Well I know you wanted to, and would never admit it, so I said it for you." She shrugged, and opened the freezer door and pulled out a popsicle.
"Want one?" She asked all nonchalantly. "No I do NOT want a stupid popsicle!" All of my feeling we're mixing together; anger, joy, confusion, all coming together as one.
Katy then started walking off, and I followed her. She ended up going to the backyard and flopping down on a lawn chair by the pool."Have a sit Clair we need to have a talk."
"Talk about what?" I asked sliding into a chair. We sit there, and stare at the ocean."Yeah. Talk about what?" Tyler's voice carried from behind us.
"Don't you have something to be doing? Someplace to be? I'm mean, you do work for my dad." I said surprised by my tone.
"Sassy. I like it. But. There is no place I'd feather be, than where you are." He made kissy faces at me.
I just rolled my eyes fighting a smile, how did he do it. He annoyed the crap out of me but made me get butterflies.
"Do that again. When you roll your eyes, it wrinkles your forehead the sexiest way." Tyler made another kissy face, only this time, he rolled his tongue over his top lip. God. Is it weird that I wanted to taste that lip? Who gives a damn.
That's when I decided I was going to do something stupid. I wasn't going to fight my feelings for Tyler.
I stood up and walked over to him. Placing my hands on hi biceps, I leaned In just a little. I placed a gentle kiss on his jaw. "I'll see you tomorrow for our date." I whisper, the sidestep him, and walk away with Katy on my trail.
When we got to my room Katy slammed the door and screamed "OMG your going on a date with Tyler!!!"
"Oh. My God. Did I really just so that..." My heart pounded with the thought of what I just did.
"You did sweeheart, and not that I object, but why did you just do that? "
"I got this rush... I'm screwed!!" I lied face first on my mattress, and let out a deep groan of mental pain. Mental pain as in 'I'm stupid'.
"What's so bad about going on a date with Tyler? Like you said he is sweeter than pie, super sexy, and totally likes you." Katy finished off her popsicle and threw the stick into the trash can.
"Look. You just don't understand." I smiled politely. "I'm gonna go to sleep. Okay?" I shrugged out of my day clothes, and changed into some sleep shorts and a T. ((Time skip?))
I wake up the next morning, well really afternoon thinking that everything that happended yesterday was just a crazy dream. Until I rolled over and saw Katy. I knew then it wasn't a dream, I really was going on a date with the hottest boy ever, Tyler.
"Katy!" I screamed! Her eyes popped open, and she jumped forward. "Are you up?" I whisper.
"I don't know. Is it possible to be sleeping when you having a heart attack? Because if it is, I'm sleeping." She laid back down, and put the blanket over her head.
"Geeeett uuuuuppp!!" I shook her as hard as I could.
She roled over and hit me in the head with her pillow. "What do you want?"
That woke her up. She looked at me with bug eyes, but didn't say anything about me finally agreeing to go on the date, just."Well the best way to start any day is getting some food."
"What's with you and food? It seems like you always have something in your mouth." She eyed me, with a look of horror in her eyes. "Not what I meant." Then she let the topic drop. And that only happens every once in a while, which only means, that she's totally, and completely focused on... Tyler.
I got out of bed, and walked to the kitchen with Katy following me. When we got in the kitchen Tyler was there with the best breakfast ever. There was chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, blueberry muffins, and hash browns on plates waiting at the table. At the stove Tyler was making scarmbled eggs and singing to himself.
And man, his voice was like Heaven. "Mornin' Hot Stuff. Help yourself." Tyler said without turning about. But when he did, my senses kicked in. Tyler was totally shirtless, and only in boxers. Oh wow!
I stood there looking a few second to long before I started filling a plate for me. I was curious why he made all this food, but decided not to ask because I was afraid the answer would be me. Yet Katy had no trouble asking. She stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips, and her head cocked to the side. "Tyler did you make all this food for Clair? Or do you just do this everyday?"
Tyler eyed Katy carefully, choosing his words wisely."You know Katy? I did do this for Clair. She's like a ray of light. She deserved it..." I just about jumped his arms then. Even with Katy, and Dad right there. But instead, I didn't.
The food was amazing, and we ended up eating most of it. After we were finished Katy went to take a shower, dad went to his office, while I stayed and helped Tyler clean.
"You excited?" Tyler asked."Bout what?"
"Duh. Tonight."
"Oh. Sure." I tried to hide my excitement, but failed.
"Don't deny it."
"I didn't. Did I?"
"You suck at lying. We'll need to work on that..."
"Totally. Please Tyler, teach me how to lie..."
Just then, Tyler flung dish water at me. The soap bubbles stuck to my hair. I flinched.
"Jerk."
"Hot Stuff."
"Loser."
"Babe."
"Stupid."
"Smexy."
"Whatever..." Our date was going to go perfect!!
When I got to my room Katy was there brushing her hair, and when she saw me she jumped up and started spilling her plan to me. "Okay this is how it's going to work. You're going to hop in the shower and get all clean. I'm going to pick out several outfits, and then you can pick your favorite. Then we'll do your hair and makeup and then you will be all ready for your perfect date."
"No honey,I'll just be ready. Not perfect date. Not happening..." I said brushing my own hair.
"Don't deny it's going to be perfect sweetheart."
"Whatever. Can I just get ready?" I asked, plugging my straightener in. Katy watched me with a cautious eye. So last summer, I may have forgot to unplug my straightener, and it started small fire. But I've become more aware...
Okay so maybe I haven't become to aware because while straigting my hair I burnt my finger, and had to run it under cold water.
"I may have kinda burnt myself... but not anything bad!" I dried if my hand and started walking back to my room to finish getting ready.
Great, now I'm gonna have a blister on my freaking finger. I bet that's attractive to Tyler. Idea!! I'm going to dress ugly. "Katy. Do you remember when we made up those boy tests?" Katy nodded. "Phase one." I would dress and look completely hideous, and see if Tyler was still very much so attracted to me. Oh yes. This will be good...
((love your idea!!!))A half hour later I was dressed in a pair of really baggy sweatpants, a ratty old tshirt, flip flops, and my hair was one big SLOPPY bun. I looked like a total reck, but couldn't wait for Tyler to see me so I could tell if he really liked me.
"Oh my. It looks you went through hell and back. Ten times. In one day." Katy said. I smiled. Tyler time.
When Tyler opened his bedroom door I thought he was going to maybe say forget the date, but he didn't even look like he noitced the way I looked. If anything he looked more excited.
The ironic part, Tyler was wearing sweats and a T-shirt also. "What? You look like you just ." I told him very amazed. "And you look like a beautiful... disaster." Tyler said, closing the door to his room, and leading me downstairs.
"What are we going to do today?" Because really what could we do on a date dressed like this.
"Well, I thought we could just go to the movies, come back here, get our suits, and go out in the ocean... if your not chicken or anything. I wouldn't want you to get scared..." Tyler said, smiling at me. "Swimming?" I asked. God, I was going to be sooo embarrassed after saying this. " I can't swim." I whispered.
"What? Seriously. Don't worry Hot Stuff. Mine and your dreaming of me teaching you how to swim, is coming true. But the movies first." Tyler grabbed my hand and led me outside. This should be fun...
When we got to the theater Tyler let me pick out the movie, and as part of the "test" I picked out a chick-flick even though I hate chick-flicks. Tyler didn't seem to mind, and I think he might secretly like chick-flicks because of how into the movie he was.
"I don't get it." Tyler whispered to me. "If she's in love with Jacob, then why is she doing Calob. They're brothers!" This was a good date so far.
"She is just doing it because she is confused, oh yeah and that's the way all chick-flicks go."
I almost choked on..... well. On nothing.
