The Sexton Twins: New Age Dynamics

Chapter 1: Play it Cool

Tyler's P.O.V.

    I stood in disbelief as I looked over the text. I kept rereading it. My eyes glued to the name at the end of the text. Blake. I quickly looked up to see the one who I let slip through my fingers. He quickly took one last sip of his drink before setting it down. Part of me was beyond scared yet the other part of me was screaming of joy. I wasn't sure exactly how I felt. My eyes never left Blake's.

The music and the voices of the other people at this club started to dissipate. I felt my breathing pick up. Blake began making his way towards me. Slowly snaking his way through the crowded venue. Never once has his eyes drifted from mine. I felt like prey in the wild. Watching this sexy man that was once mine hunting me down. I didn't know if I should run or stay.

No, I can't keep running. I'm no longer the same weak bitch from high school that ran at every chance. Blake was now just a few steps away. His smile was growing bigger with each step. His smile still made me melt. It was cute and devious at the same time. Before I could react his big arms wrapped around me. Pulling me into a tight hug.

His cologne engulfed my nose. It was the same cologne from back then. The one that hooks me in and forgets the world. "I missed you so much." Blake whispered but loud enough for only me to hear. Blake didn't pull away. I wanted to put my arms around him, afraid this was my only chance. I went against it though and let him have his moment.

    After a short while I felt Blake drop from around me. "There's so much I wanna ask, say, do." Blake told me as my eyes were full of different emotions. Blake kept talking but I was paying more attention to his face. His jawline is strong and his ears have more piercings. My eyes looked at every contour and dip. Following every detail. I don't know how he managed to get more sexy...well it's been almost 4 years. I got depressed at how time flies.

    It wasn't till Blake started laughing that snapped me back to reality. "What's up?" I asked while looking around to see if I missed something. "Nothing, It's just funny." Blake said as he patted my head. I let out a small grumble. Over these past couple of years I came to the harsh reality that I was short. Like fuck I'm still 5' 6". Haven't grown at all since school. I let out a sigh at defeat that I will never grow.

    Blake lifted up my chin so I was looking at his face which was smiling with a small blush.

I couldn't help but just stare. I have nothing to say or ask. "You know I went loo..." I shushed Blake quickly. He gave me a weird look. "Look I'm going to be straight with you. Lots of shit happened these past couple of years. I don't think talking about it here would be beneficial to either one of us." I told him as I lightly touched his arm.

    He gave me a small nod. "Also I don't think I wanna talk about it if Derrick isn't here to talk as well." I told him but not without Blake giving a look. He noticed I was looking and he quickly tried to change his expression. Weird. "Where is Derrick? Yall usually go hand in hand." I asked as I looked around the rooftop club. Blake didn't say shit to my question. He walked around me and called over the bartender. "Want anything to drink?" Blake asked me.

    Why is he avoiding the topic? I wanted to press on it but honestly I don't wanna ruin anything cause I wanna be annoying. Instead I stood next to him and ordered two green tea shots. I downed both before turning back towards the dance floor. Looking over all the people drinking, dancing, or making out. I felt a hand touch my waist and instantly jumped. "Sorry sorry." Blake quickly apologized as he put his hand up. I should feel bad but honestly I don't.

    My feelings are all over the place and with these past couple of years. I'm beyond messed up. I just need to talk in private. "Sorry Blake. I'm going to the bathroom, wait for me." He gave me a light nod before taking a swish of his beer. I made my way through the crowd. I was now in the middle and I decided to look back to see Blake was on his phone smiling. I turned to look at the exit. I shook my head. No, no running.
