The Sexton Twins: New Age Dynamics

Chapter 2: Where to Now?

Tyler's P.O.V.

As each second passed on, Blake looked like a scared puppy. I felt like I was being pushed into a wall. Shit come on, think. With a deep breath and shutting my eyes. I came to a perfect response. "I don't know?" What the fuck was that. I told myself. Like what kind of shit was that coming out of my mouth. I felt like I was mentally slapping myself.

I opened my eyes to see Blake looking at the floor. Damn it feels like I kicked the puppy now. I made my way to Blake and gave him a small hug. He hesitated for a second until he wrapped his arms around me. "I won't apologize for my response." I told Blake letting the silence fill the area until I felt like he understood.

"A lot has happened since our senior year. Shit I thought I would be ready for this day. I believed I wouldn't have meet you again but..." I choked on my words. It felt so unreal to be in his arms but what is this I feel? Anxiety, depression, or am I honestly scared? "Tyler...Ty." Blake called out to me but I didn't wanna look up into his mesmerizing eyes. Instead I pushed into him a bit more. I felt we were moving back a bit till I felt the cold metal of the car.

"I know this is all so sudden and I couldn't help but jump the gun. I'm sorry." Blake's words cooed into my ears and struck every cord lightly. "I never forgot about you and seeing you tonight I got scared." I pulled back to see Blake's face. He had a light tint of red on his face. He noticed I was staring and he quickly turned away. "You never left my mind. When I first saw you today and even holding you right now." Blake stopped talking. Blake bit his lip; his face turned even brighter.

My eyes never drifted from his handsome features. I was captivated. Until I was snapped out of my daze. "You know it's quite hard being this vulnerable and having such a cute guy staring at you every second." Blake let out in a whisper as he tried to hold eye contact with me. I felt my face getting hot. I quickly pulled back away. I scratched the back of my neck trying to mask my embarrassment.

"Sorry, I wasn't trying to make you flustered. I'm just super fucking nervous right now." Blake let out a small laugh as he leaned back on the car. He threw his head back. I couldn't help but laugh as well. "What's so funny huh?" I looked up to see Blake give me a side eye with a smile etched across his face. "I'm sorry it's so funny to see you be like this." I laughed again at his face, still red from earlier.

"Sorry sorry. It's just back then I was the one who became easily flustered and nervous. Oh how times have changed." I told Blake as he popped up off the car. "I guess times have changed." Blake told no one in particular as he shoved his hands in his pockets. "Look Blake, I'm going to be straightforward with you." Blake looked up with hopeful eyes. I felt myself getting lost in his eyes again. I quickly snapped out of it.

"I want us to be friends again. I wanna get to know you. It's been almost 4 years." I felt myself relaxing as I controlled my breathing. I can't let my emotions waver now. "4 years changes a person. I want us to hang out and get to know each other again. Then we will see from there." I finished my sentence with my eyes never leaving his. I watched as Blake's processed everything I just said. He turned around towards his car. I felt my stomach fall. Did I fuck up already? Blake suddenly spun around quickly and caught me off guard when he extended his hand. ""Hi there my nam..." I slapped his hand and began to laugh. "Not like that!" I told him.

We were both laughing like idiots. "So fucking corny." I said in between laughs. Which only made Blake laugh even more. His laughter always brought me comfort. He was always more serious back then but when he laughed it felt uplifting. Once our laughing session ended. Blake reached out for my hand and opened the car door for me. I sat down in his car and watched as he made his way around the front into the driver side.

"So Tyler where to now?" Blake asked as he brought his car to life and the low rumble could be heard. I thought for a second as Blake began messing with the audio. "Well it's late and we had enough excitement today. Do you mind if I can be taken home?" I asked Blake as he gave me a warm smile. "Of course I can."
