Lust for Love

Chapter 71

"What is up with you two today?" Sherry looked at a very annoyed duo early in the morning.

"It's nothing. She's throwing another one of her tantrums." Tyler complained annoyingly and he shouldn't have.

"Can you believe it! He dated 6 girls in the past!" I blurted out in front of Sherry holding a cutely dressed Genny in her arms and both of them looked at Tyler in utter shock. I don't know what Genny was so shocked about though.

"Hey! That's a low blow! And how many times do I have to say they were just flings! What are you so angry about? I thought we were past this! You dated too!" Tyler yelled at me until he came up with a ridiculous yet accurate name for my feelings as he tried his very, I mean very best not to grin, "Wait, Don't tell me you're....actually Jealous?"

"HAH!"

* 30 MINUTES EARLIER *

* PING *

Well, what was it about?

It was about a text I got from a girl from an unknown number for Tyler. Yeah...Can you believe it?

"Hmm? Who's this?" I got a text from an unknown number.

"Hey~ Tyler,....We met before at the convention....Let me know when you're free, we can catch up...."

HAH!?

Wait up!

Did a girl just text him? No more importantly why did she text my number?
Oh wait I am using his old phone number since I lost mine. Did he meet someone on the trip? Is that why he pulled away from me? Was he in touch with her? Did Tyler give her this number unknowingly? That's unlikely.

I stood there pondering what to do.

"Hey, you ready?" Tyler hugged me from behind and kissed my cheeks when he saw me staring anxiously at the phone.

"Hey, what's the matter?" he looked down at my phone screen but I locked it.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just got a new painting order." I smiled at him.

I lied. Why?

* IN THE CAR *

"Hey Tyler," I nervously asked him, "Are you still in touch with any of the girlfriends, I mean as friends or something?"

Tyler didn't lose a minute to snap, "Vivy we've already talked about this a dozen times. They were just temporary relationships and I don't even remember their names correctly. So why would I be in touch with them now, after all, this..." he suddenly stopped.

"Did something happen?" he asked me seriously.

Huh? What do you mean? Are you seriously hiding something from me?

"What do you mean? Are you hiding something from me?" I asked him but he didn't take his eyes off the road.

"No, I'm not." Tyler spoke a little loudly startling me but he exhaled to calm himself down.

"For Genny's sake let's not fight anymore, please? Also, I've been looking forward to today's date so much! Let's enjoy the present. Listen, I'll do everything to prove to you that I'm completely devoted to you but you need to give me a chance too."

"Fine! How many girls have you dated until now?"

Why am I acting like this? Just let the graves be, Vivy. But then again....someone actually texted him back. What if she's someone from his past and they ran into each other by sheer coincidence on that trip? Does that mean he has feelings for someone else? No wait what am I even thinking?
