The love that binds us

Untitled Part 18

We walked back to the house hand in hand, happily, Titus and Tate probably in bed by now, Tyler took me upstairs for a shower and we lay in bed together quietly.

'Why didn't you answer any of my calls or messages?' I asked as I spread my hand out over his chest and relief finally coming when I could feel him there.

'I was not allowed; Titus took my phone and told me to forget everything until we were done.' He said taking my hand that rested on his chest and kissing it gently.

'And did you? Forget I mean.'

'I only thought about you.' He whispered as he pulled on my hand that he still had a hold of until I was flushed against him. 'Did you forget me?' He asked sounding a little vulnerable.

'Of course not, I haven't been able to sleep all week. I've been so lonely without you, I even walked to my parents house one day by accident that's how sad I was.' I said and he kissed me.

'Don't ever kiss anyone else. Ever again.' He said kissing me again and again. 'No matter how lonely, unless I am dead, no one else gets to kiss you.' I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, feeling bad for kissing Sen now. Tyler didn't hold it against me, he understood that I wasn't doing it to cheat on him and neither Sen nor I enjoyed it. The week went on, Tyler came back to school like normal but after school he would go off with Titus and do things he didn't want to talk about, not because it was family business, he said he didn't like doing them and didn't want to make me upset, so I didn't ask about the things he did. I noticed that Harry and Sen had developed more, but they were too self conscious about each other now and caused a lot of accidents, I heard about the science lab where they made some girl spill acid on her textbook. Tyler told me to leave it alone so I did, he and I did our own thing, making out and reading under the bleachers, having insane sex at home, things were going well until I noticed that suddenly Sen wasn't sitting next to the rest of the football guys, they knew I sat with Tyler at lunch, no one asked but everyone knew that I was with him as more than friends, most people knew by now, I've been with him nearly a year.

'I want to go and talk to him.' I said and Tyler grunted down at me. 'It'll only be like five minutes, he looks really sad.' This caused Tyler to grunt again and I squeezed his arm, leaving him in the lunch line alone looking at me annoyed. He hated having to talk to other people, avoided it at all costs but now he had to pay for our food on his own. I slid into a seat opposite Sen and smiled. 'So, I went to all that hard work and even got punished just for you to back out?' Sen looked up at me sadly before his eyes flicked over to the jock table where Harry looked pissed off.

'I didn't back out, I just... I need to figure out some stuff.' He mumbled sadly, this obviously wasn't easy for him but yo, seriously...

'Look, I get your dad was like a whole neo Nazi and shit but don't let that trauma crap hurt what you have. Which is an amazing guy who is sulking about not receiving your attention. Actually he kind looks really pissed now.' I said looking over my shoulder at him.

'It's because I'm alone with you, that was a rule we made, that I wouldn't be alone with you and he wouldn't be alone with girls any more.' Sen and I both looked over to see Harry storming out of the cafeteria.

'Well, I'm having a party, everyone is coming. Maybe the two of you can sort out this problem there?' Tyler and I had been considering it, I wanted him to make more friends and he didn't but he knew I wanted to kind of have the party.

'Harry usually takes me to parties...' Sen said sounding sad.

'Well, just come back to mine with me after school and then you'll already be there when he gets there.' I shrugged and Sen nodded. Tyler pulling the chair out next to me and sliding into it. He was annoyed, looking at Sen he put the food tray down and slid his hand onto my thigh. 'Calm down would you, I already told you, just because I think he's cute doesn't mean I'm going to leave you for him.' Tyler bared his teeth at Sen and Sen looked like he was going to pee. I put my hand over Tyler's on my thigh and rolled my eyes. 'Stop already, I'll do that thing you like later, after the party.' I teased and the growling stopped and Tyler stopped baring his teeth, Tyler turned and looked at me with that loving look, he was begging, he loved that thing. Tyler searched my face before grunting, standing up and walking away quickly. The bell ringing. 'Sorry, he get's a little possessive, he was raised by wolves.' I chuckled and Sen smiled awkwardly before we headed to our separate classes.
