Lust for Love

Chapter 74

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

"Good Morning." Lisa greeted Tyler who just walked out of the room early in the morning.

"Morning." He lazily yawned as he reciprocated. "You're up early. Ssup?"

"Oh, I just woke up early and thought I'd grab some coffee." She answered.

"Sure. Me too! Yawnnn~" Tyler shamelessly demanded a cup of coffee.

"Geez you lazy bum!" She complained but nevertheless still prepared a mug for him.

"Sleep well?" Tyler inquired as she looked a little tired.

"Yeah!" She tried to sound as cheerful as she could be but the worry in her voice still seemed conspicuous as she asked him the same, "What about you?"

"Hmm? Good." Tyler nonchalantly answered as he sipped on his coffee and walked out of the kitchen to sit on one of the other couches with Lisa.

They both sat quietly as they enjoyed their coffee but Lisa had questions and her heart grew restless by the minute. "How long has it been since she woke up abruptly at night? Nightmares?"

Lisa remembered Tyler telling her not to worry or feel surprised if Vivy woke up the previous night just in case since she didn't know and he worried Lisa might panic.

"Ever since she woke up from her coma, I guess." Tyler calmly answered but tried to put her worries to rest a little bit as he informed her of Vivy's progress. "She's been doing much better lately."

"You call that better? Then how bad was it before? She woke up crying and stood in front of your door hugging the picture of the twins for quite some time. And ..." Lisa looked worried anyway.

"Lisa." Tyler interrupted her gesturing her to quiet down a little. "She's still sleeping and don't worry she really is doing much better. She's even having fewer nightmares lately." Lisa apologized but still remained curious.

He only briefed Lisa about Vivy's nightmares so she wouldn't ask her. He didn't feel like talking about the other miserable memories so early in the morning either and Lisa caught her cue to stop prying any further for now.

"How-How could I be so ignorant?" Lisa agonized over her ignorance all those times. "If only I hadn't let her go that day!"

"It's not your fault. Don't worry. Just...don't talk about it with her. I...she's already relived those memories enough times. If you have more questions just ask me....later..." Tyler's expression seemed pained as he requested Lisa to not talk about the past with Vivy and almost immediately they were both startled when they heard the door open abruptly.

* DOOR OPENS *

"Hey there." Tyler extended his hand to a very groggy Vivy who slid into his lap and leaned into the gap between his neck and shoulder without realizing Lisa was sitting right there.

"Baby you can sleep a little more you know. Go sleep in the bed more comfortably." Tyler brushed Vivy's hair that was covering her face behind her ear.

"Unmm...no we...you said we were gonna visit Laelynn and Lucius....so I woke up early....you should've woken ....up...me...yawn~" Vivy spoke in broken English by the end as she tried to resist her sleep.

"Yeah, we'll go. But it's too early right now. How about we sleep for some more? In bed preferably?" Tyler tried to convince her to sleep comfortably but she only snuggled into the gap of his neck further while still hugging the picture of the twins.

"Unmmm....it's comfortable here." She cooed like a baby as she spoke softly while burying her face further in making Tyler blush.

Lisa giggled lightly as she observed a flustered Tyler and he simply gave her an annoyed look before he spoke to an already asleep Vivy. "Vivy go sleep in bed comfortably. Baby?"
