It's my secret (a Ross Lynch/R5 fanfic)

Chapter 43

NEVAEH'S POV

I couldn't sleep that night. Lynn's words haunted me over and over. I didn't know she knew anything about my past. I twisted and turned but couldn't sleep. Tyler tried staying awake to comfort me but he eventually fell asleep on my lap. Ross lay in the sleeping bag next to his. The tent was actually quite big and comfy.

It was 5am, but I could still see the sun getting ready to rise. The sky was a very dark purple colour. I lay still because although he wasn't as a light sleeper as me, Tyler would still wake up if I tried moving.

He looked so cute when he slept. I felt like plopping a ginormous kiss on his face whenever I saw him sleep. I decided to give him a peck on the cheek, knowing that he would know but would appreciate it when he woke up.

I got out of the tent, giving up trying to go to sleep again. I go and sit by the pool, dipping my feet in. The water feels cold at first, but as my legs slowly adjust, I feel more and more comfortable.

How did Lynn know he was in jail? That he hurt me? She never knew anything. If she did she had never mentioned it. But the fact that she was scared and kept quiet Al, this time both surprised and hurt me.

"Thinking about Lynn?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah" I muttered in deep thought. Wait, wasn't Tyler sleeping?

"What are you doing here??" I asked, feeling my mouth stretch as far as possible.

"You kissed me, I thought I could return it" he smirked raising his eyebrows.

"That depends on the Hygiene of your bedroom" I giggled as he pulled his track suits bottoms up to his knees and dipped his feet in the water next to me. We both stared at the pond, and the reflection of the crescent moon and the rest of the greenery that lay behind it. It was beautiful. Just as beautiful as the man next to me. I smiled at this thought, and as if he could read my mind, he put an arm around me, pulling me closer.

"What if I told you I share a room with a dog?" He tried to compromise.

"What if I told you u share a room with 6 boys, 2 girls and a dog" I said, clearly rejecting the kiss.

"What if I told you I don't give a damn, and I'm going to kiss you anyway" he says, and although he doesn't show it, I can tell he is starting to get frustrated. I decided to tease him a little. I lean on his shoulder, so that he can lean on me, but not kiss me in any way. However instead of just the usual sigh, he gently lifts my head up, and slightly turnes so that he is facing me.

"Try and stop me now" he smirked. I felt him slowly lean in and suddenly I panicked. These horrible moments flashed in my eyes once again, as they had many, many times before. I froze, just as I always did in these situations, and I still closed my eyes. I didn't want to ruin the moment for Tyler.

However, once again he took me by surprise when he slowly caressed my cheek, slyly turning it a little thinking I wouldn't notice. He pecked me on the cheeks just as I had done with him in his sleep and I slowly opened my eyes embarrassed.

"You panicked didn't you" he said softly. I nodded, my cheeks flushing red, and my eyes still closed.

"Sorry" I muttered quietly.

"It's ok, but I'm going to get that Kidd someday. " He smiled.

"Sure" I said smiling,

"You can open your eyes" he said, letting go of my cheek.

"I know" I said. I slowly fluttered them open. I saw him beaming as he looked me in the eyes.

"Do you really think she meant it?" I asked suddenly, unable to let go of the topic.
