Lust for Love

Chapter 67 (Side Story)

* Third person's p.o.v. *

* NEXT DAY MORNING *

Vivy had completely forgotten Juvi was gonna drop by the next day early in the morning to grab her bag that she had forgotten the last time she visited. Juvi called on Vivy's phone a couple of times but when she didn't pick up, she used Gray's spare key that she brought with her just in case.

"Ah, I hope Vivy doesn't mind if I just quickly drop by and get my bag. She said it was on one of the couches. I think." But when Juvi walked over to look for her bag she found an empty wine bottle and a pair glasses on the coffee table and Tyler and Vivy's clothes lying around in a mess.

"Oh My." She flustered seeing the mess.

"My did they go for it in the living room? I should warn them to clean up after them. If Gray and Nathan saw this they'd lose their minds."

"Why?" She was suddenly startled by a groggy Tyler who walked out in only a T-shirt and boxers.

"What do you mean why? And wear some pants moron!" Juvi scolded him and he shushed her indicating Vivy was still asleep and might wake up from the ruckus.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" Tyler inquired as he walked into the kitchen to grab some water.

"Oh, I needed to grab the bag I forgot last time." Juvi cautiously walked over to the other couch and grabbed her bag and immediately walked out to the dining area.

"I see." Tyler walked to her to check if she got what she needed.

"Seriously, you guys should take care of the mess before Nathan and Gray walk in on it," Juvi warned Tyler as she rummaged through her bag to check everything was there and that she didn't misplace any items elsewhere.

"You really went for it huh? I hope you at least used condoms." she teased Tyler.

"Nothing happened." Tyler nonchalantly answered.

"Huh?" Juvi looked at him confused as if he was talking nonsense. "How can you not have sex with all your clothes off?"

Tyler chuckled as he remembered last night. "Sure can."

"Tyler, I hope you don't involve the poor girl in any weird kink or fetish you might have." Juvi placed a hand on his shoulder looking at him weirdly concerned.

"If you've got everything then get lost! It's none of your business anyway!" Tyler handed her the bag and pushed her out the door and then pulled her back in taking her by surprise.

"Huh?"

"Actually I...well" Tyler hesitated to ask Juvi as he kept fumbling over his words.

"What is it? Wait don't tell me you really do have a weird fetish? No I don't need your confession." Juvi teased him at first but soon felt a little concerned.

"No stupid! That's not it!" He growled at her.

"Then what is it?" She asked standing in front of him with her hands folded.

"Well...I don't wanna make things awkward for you but I....wanted your opinion as a girl..." Tyler shyly asked surprising Juvi yet again.

"What's this about?" She cautiously asked.

"Well...argh..." Tyler groaned as he tried to come up with words that wouldn't put his sister in a tough spot but then he decided to let it go.

"Never mind, chuck it." He couldn't bring himself to ask her something that would make her uncomfortable.

"What?! What is it? Now I'm curious! Spit it out already." She grabbed his cheeks gently as if to make him talk.

"Oukay wokay...lef guh!" He struggled to speak as Juvi kept pestering him and he immediately regretted ever asking her about it.

"Fine. I....well.....how were you able to... umm... you know... trust Gray enough....to...well....you know what I mean..." Tyler looked away shyly as he asked.

"You mean Sex?" Juvi totally didn't have a filter making Tyler frown and sigh in frustration.

"Sigh. Yes"

"Is this about Vivy? Did something happen?" She inquired.

"Well you could say. But yeah. Even though I know it's uncomfortable for you to think about it but you kinda went through something similar right? How were you able to trust Gray? No more like what does he do to make you feel like you could trust him unconditionally?" Tyler didn't raise his gaze while talking as he pondered over his own thoughts but Juvi could sense his determination.

"Well to be honest, first, what Vivy's been through is far worse than mine.." Juvi felt sad just imagining what Vivy might have suffered through. Just an assault and Travis's filthy touch plagued her with nightmares and fear, she couldn't fathom what Vivy must be feeling every waking moment.

"That's....you can't really compare! What you went through was luckily not as bad as her but that doesn't make it any less painful or frightening!" Tyler finally looked up though angry yet compassionately.

"We raised our brother well huh?" Juvi smiled gently patting his cheek.

"Yeah. Exactly. The way I trust Gray and all the things he does for me might be good but not entirely applicable to her situation. Somewhere in my heart Gray was the one who saved me and I automatically feel safe with him. Plus we've been together for years now."

As Juvi spoke, Tyler's face twisted with pain. He wasn't the one who saved her. He was the one who always put her in those kind of situations as he believed.

"Don't worry. She trusts you more than enough. Even though you screwed up a few times, that didn't make her love go away now, did it? And you're going to keep working hard to make her feel safer and loved aren't you?" Juvi tried to console him. Tyler sadly nodded.

"Good. So what happened?" She asked but was instead pushed out of the door without notice.

"Ah! Geez! This kid. Fine. Fine. If you don't wanna talk I'm leaving. Stop pushing me! I can walk!" Juvi resisted as he persistently pushed her. "Just clean up after yourself okay," she instructed him

"Alright, you're gonna be late. Now go and do your best at work and...thanks sis." Tyler kissed her cheek before he closed the door on her face wearing a slightly annoyed smile.

"Hey, you brat!" Juvi scolded him from the other side of the door but sighed and left while Tyler quickly gathered all of their clothes, as he did his thoughts, into the laundry basket and went back to sleep beside Vivy.

Vivy turned around to hug him back and cuddle into his embrace. "Mmm...Tyler."

"Yeah, I'm right here with you."
