Superstar's Spotlight: Limelight (18+) [COMPLETED] {unedited}

Chapter 37: U Turn.

My heart races as Tyler gave me his full attention, I was hot all of a sudden and my stomach in knots.

Were Mia's words getting to me or was this deeper than her words? I wondered if my judgment was clouded... was I feeling there could be more for Tyler and I or because Mia said it? I sigh.

"What's wrong?" He puts his drink down on the small table in front of us. "Is everything alright?" I smile nervously. "Everything is fine, it's just..." He looks into my eyes concerned as I look back into his.

His stare bore through mine and it only made me more nervous. What if I told him and he thought I was lying, no, what if I told him and he couldn't live with that and left?

My smile drops and the words can't seem to leave my mouth, it was easy, spill it, say it, just tell him, explain and he'll understand.

"Gianna?" Something was happening, I found myself moving closer to him, unable to make words with my lips, Tyler's hands fell from my shoulders as I closed my eyes.

I couldn't make words but I made a kiss? Ridiculous. I took a U turn, completely missing the exit and going in the opposition direction of where I needed to be. I pulled away slowly when I notice nothing from him.

I read everything wrong, he was just drunk and lonely when he said what he said. We stared at each other and I felt my chest ache, rejected again.

"What was that for?" I widen my eyes at him as he looks at me confused. What was that for? Well... I couldn't tell you I was pregnant, I had nothing else to say and that seemed like it was right, as if it would let you stay... but of course I couldn't say that.

"I'm sorry, I just thought you were into me that way." I begin looking away and I feel him pull me closer. "Everything I said to you was true." He placed his hand at the back of my head and pulled me closer.

Our lips were together again and I closed my eyes putting my hands around the back of his neck. The sparks ignited as our lips were synced, in this moment, it felt as if things were going right for me and things were going to continue going right.

I could hear the lyrics from P!nks song try play in my head, "where there is desire there is gonna be a flame and where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned but just because it burns doesn't mean your gonna die, you gotta get up and try try try."

This was me trying, Tyler was here he has been here in the moments I've really needed someone, to help with things I couldn't do, I could depend on him. So why was it so hard to tell him my secret?

"Hello everyone! Please gather around." We pull away from each other, breaths heavy and stares fixed. The crowd moved to the announcer's command and I was still in Tyler's hold, him in mine.

He smiles, I blushed. I begun wiping my lipstick off his lips, just a little smudge as this lipstick was supposed to be smudge resistant. He chuckled and pulled his head away.

"Leave it, I want everyone to know who I'm kissing." He wiggles his brows and I chuckle. So goofy. We were finally out of each other's embrace and he took my hand as we gathered with others. I couldn't stop smiling, this was the longest I have held a smile since everything and I was happy.

I woke up the next morning with several calls and messages from Tyler to call him. Messages too from Wyatt, Alex and Mia. What did Elliott do this time? I sigh then take a deep breath.

Mia sent me a link and winked, I opened it and to my surprise, El wasn't the one causing mayhem, it was me and Tyler. I run my hand through my hair and smiled then covered my mouth. The positive comments were everything.
