Our fake marriage was spreading around campus like wildfire, it had finally hit Tyler's clique. I had headed to meet him, I heard his friends questioning him.
"Are you actually married bro?" Duke asked.
"Yes. I'll explain later." Tyler replied.
"Why do you wanna waste your life married to someone." Duke mocked.
"I'm not wasting my life." Tyler snapped.
"I've never seen you be more than best friends with her." Duke was skeptical.
"Because I'm not." Tyler replied.
"Then you wouldn't mind if I made a move on her?" Duke smirked.
I had overheard the whole conversation, Duke was star quarterback, every guy wanted to be him and every girl wanted to date him, except I wasn't every girl. I noticed Tyler's expression change in an instant.
"I swear I'll kick your ass if you touch her!" He snapped.
"What?" Duke raised an eyebrow.
"I told you she's off limits." Tyler replied.
"She's not your property." Duke remarked.
That was the first time Duke had actually said something I agreed with, most of the time the stuff he said was just idiotic, I think I need to diffuse the situation, I approached their table, I had been standing a little bit away but they were still in earshot. I sat down at the table, placing my lunch in front of me.
"Boys." I addressed the pair.
"Hey Sie." Tyler smiled.
"Hey." Duke grinned also.
"What are we talking about?" I asked.
"Nothing." Tyler replied.
"I know you're lying I could tell from over there things were getting heated." I replied.
"Duke was just being a douche." Tyler explained.
"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to grab a coffee, after classes." Duke interjected.
"I...erm...sure." I stumbled over my words.
"Great, I'll meet you later." He grinned.
"Sure." I returned a smile.
Duke strutted off, cocky and confident as usual just ever so more cocky since he thinks he had won the argument with Tyler. Tyler looked less than amused and turns to me.
"What are you doing?" Tyler snapped.
"Getting coffee with a friend." I replied.
"But why Duke?" He sighed.
"Ty it's just coffee, besides I'm married." I whispered.
Tyler chuckled and let out a relieved sigh.
"I'm not going to cheat on you fake relationship or not." I replied.
"Thanks that means a lot." Tyler smiled.
As if right on cue the wicked witch of the west shows up. Tia, she's obsessed with Tyler and has been since second grade. She flounced over, plonking herself gracefully next to Tyler. She rubbed his arm with her freshly manicured hand.
"Ty, baby!" She giggled.
"Tia we talked about this." Tyler shut her down.
"What?" She looked upset.
"The whole nicknames and stuff. Besides I'm married." Tyler replied.
"I heard, you're 23 Tyler, you're ruining your life. Especially marrying her!" She squealed.
