Furtive Admirer

Chapter 16

"What" Alex whispered her eyes wide open

"I dare you to kiss Tyler" Mte repeated

Alex was speechless, how could Mte do that. How could she kiss Tyler in front of Lillian, that didn't sound fair

She had feelings for him, what if she lost control

"I don't think that's a good idea" Fiona said before looking at Tyler then back at the group

"I ...I can't" Alex said quietly

"Oh come on don't be boring" Zack said

"You know what happened last time we involved him Mte, give her another dare" Molly said

"What happened?" Alex looked at the group

"I was dared to kiss him" Lillian explained "he pushed me so hard I felt rejected" Lillian said in a sad tone

That scared Alex

"I'm so sorry" Alex sympathized thinking of how Tyler was going to react in the upcoming minutes

Tyler had trust issues, it was obvious he was going to push her away too. Did she really want to do this? It was a dare right, she had it coming

I regret playing this game

"It's okay" Lillian shrugged and smiled "I'm over it"

Is she?

"Well I'm waiting" Mte said in all seriousness "I'll set the timer here"

Mte took out his phone, placed it on the table

"I don't think this is a good idea" Molly shook her head

Mte began setting the timer

"Come on babe, we don't change dares she has to do this" Zack said yearning for the drama that was about to be unfold

He stood up and pulled Alex up

"Zack" Alex tried stopping him from pushing her to Tyler "Zack no ..no please"

Tyler was walking around the counter when Alex suddenly stumbled in front of him, he watched her as she stood awkwardly trying her best not to fall

She stood straight and looked at him

Their eyes met

Alex looked anywhere but him as she bit her lower lip, where would she even start

Her heart beat so fast, more than it has ever beat before. A wave of nervous hit her hard and for the first time her palms felt sweaty

She found it difficult to breathe

This was going to be embarrassing for her if Tyler's response was going to be pushing her away

Rejection wasn't something she wanted to experience at the moment, especially from him

Everyone sat silent watching them, they were interested on what Tyler was going to do to the new girl

Tyler's eyes hadn't left her face, he hadn't moved one bit

She looked uncomfortable

He took off one headset and nodded his head at her

"What's up"

His deep voice caused butterflies in her stomach

Wanting to get it over with, Alex stepped closer to him and let out a breath. She placed her hands on his shoulders and stood on her toes before placing her lips on his

"She did it" Molly whispered grabbing Zack's hand

"Shhhh" Mte shooshed

Watching the two, each one of them prepared themselves to console their friend who just took her bravely to the next level and attacked a lion minding it's business
