The Possessive Bully

Part 47

I glared at Sunny who was giving me weird glances.

I swear, if Tyler's not here, I would have pulled her hair already. For the past hours, she will look at me, give me a weird look, and stifle her laugh.

Argh! She's making fun of me!

I stopped painting the wall in front of me and mouthed, 'Stop it.'

She grinned and turned her back on me.

Psh.

I know.

IT'S EMBARRASSING. If I could just turn myself invisible I would have already done it. I sneaked a peek at Tyler.

His back is turned against me and is busy painting his side of the wall. At least he's not teasing me. Unlike Sunny here.

They talked a little bit earlier just to catch up with our lives. Of course, she hasn't seen Tyler for years and is also curious.

I went back to painting my side of the wall. My phone rang so I had to stop painting and answer it.

I took my gloves off and fish my phone out of my pocket. It's Van.

I swiped the green button.

"Hey..", I started. I noticed how Sunny and Tyler's heads turn a little bit to check on me and continued with their work.

"Hey, busy?", he asked.

"Kind of. Why?"

"Where are you?"

"Uhm, home? Why?"

I tucked some hair behind my ears and wiped the sweat forming on my forehead.

"I have pizza... and fries.", he said. I can say he's grinning from his voice.

Pizza and fries are the only words I need to hear to throw everything and run to Van's place right now. After the scene earlier, I badly want to get out of my house.

But of course, I can't do that.

"I'd love to. But I'm in the middle of something—"

"Oh, it's okay. I'm already in front of your house. I'll hang up now."

"Ha, wait—"

He ended the call. Before I can even finish my sentence, I heard my doorbell ring.

"Are you expecting someone?", Sunny asks as she looks at me.

"Uhm..."

"I'll get it.", Tyler said without waiting for my response. He's the closest to the door. It took him five big strides to open the door.

Lay and behold. Van with a box of pizza and fries.

He has this wide grin pasted on his face. But it immediately vanishes upon seeing Tyler.

"Oh, it's Van.", Sunny murmured. Her face lit up upon seeing the pizza and fries in Van's hands. "...with pizza and fries. Come on in."

Really, Sunny? Is this your house?

I shook my head at her. She's really something!

Van nodded at Tyler before going in. He looked shocked. Did I make the same look when I met Tyler?

I guess I did.

Tyler nodded in response and closed the door.

"Hey...", Van greeted me with a smile.

I automatically smiled back at him.

"Hey.", I said.

"You're painting?", he said and looked at the freshly painted walls. "You need help?"
