The Possessive Bully

Part 23

I looked at my clock hanging on the wall.

"Two hours before midnight.", I mumbled.

Tyler and I agreed to go out at midnight. When everyone's almost asleep and no eyes could judge us.

I didn't tell mum that I'll be going out tonight. She'll be asking questions if I tell her and I can't tell her that I'll be with Tyler. What would she think?

I know it's wrong but I want to go with Tyler. I want to see him and feel his touch.

I like him so much it's making me crazy.

This will be the first time I'll be sneaking out while mum's asleep.

I hope she doesn't catch me.

I rummaged thru my closet, thinking about what I should wear for this freezing weather. I don't want to wear something heavy cause it'll be hard sneaking through my window.

But I also don't want to wear something light cause I'll freeze to death out there.

Argh. Whatever.

I'll just bring a jacket then.

I chose to wear a white tank top and black shorts paired with my sneakers. Climbing down my window would be easier with these clothes.

A beanie would also be good for this weather.

I received a message from Tyler around midnight, saying he's already outside and was parked somewhere nearby.

To make sure mum won't catch me, I locked my door and left. If she ever asks, I'll just tell her that I forgot to unlock my door before I went to bed.

I scratched my legs when I climbed out of my window. My room's on the second floor so it was kind of hard to sneak out.

I barely managed to get down.

It was freezing outside. Good thing I brought my jacket with me.

Tyler's coupe was parked on the street meters away from our house. He wouldn't dare to park in front of my house cause mum might notice.

It feels like we're doing something illegal. Like criminals sneaking at night.

"Tyler.", I said, knocking on his window. He opened the door and smiled at me.

"Did you run?", he asked. My perspiration became visible.

I fixed my beanie before hopping into his car.

"Kind of."

"Are you that excited to see me?", he teased and wiggled his eyebrows playfully.

My cheeks turned red. Thankfully, it was dark so he can't see how red I am.

I punched him in his arm, it was so light I bet it didn't hurt. "S-stop it."

He laughed and started the engine of his car.

"No? What a shame. I was excited to see you.", he said and winked at me.

I felt giddy inside. How can I resist you Tyler?

You're giving me butterflies and making me feel a lot of things I didn't know exists.

We drove in silence.

The last time I was in his car was when we fought. When I was running away from my feelings for Tyler.

Am I not running away now?

I looked at Tyler as a few strays of light from the posts flashed inside the car.

I wonder, does he feel the same way? Does he like me too?
