Breaking Promises

Chapter 21: I love you

Chapter 21

 I sat down on the couch with a sigh, hugging my box of Oreo cookies close to me.

 I felt like a real estate person that had just come home from a long day of work, but in truth I had just finished showing Tyler's family to all their rooms and talking about my whole life...it wasn't that I wanted to sit down with them for hours talking about my drama-filled life, no, they had pried into my life like it was the life of a Kardashian.

 Even though they tended to invade personal space and privacy, they were as sweet as honey pie... If honey pie is actually a pie...

 I had come to like every single Heartnut, and Jason, at the end of the day. They were like the family I never had...

 Currently, it was eleven-thirty at night and everyone was in bed, sleeping. Or so I thought.

 I snapped my head to the right as I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, cookie still in mouth.

 My jaw suddenly unhinged and the half-eaten cookie fell into my lap.

 Right in front of my poor poor eyes, stood a very shirtless Tyler, in nothing but a pair of blue boxers.

 I couldn't help stare at his delicious tanned skin and yummy abs, even though I had seen them a few times when he decided to sleep in my bed.

 He walked over to the kitchen, not seeing me on the couch staring hungrily at him, and poured himself a glass of water from the tap.

 I watched, with my mouth still hanging open, as he downed the water, his adam's apple moving up and down in a sexy way.

 Wow, who knew a man's throat could make a girl get horny thoughts...

 As if noticing my eyes on him, he turned to me and put the now empty glass to the side.

 I quickly snapped my mouth shut and felt my cheeks burn.

 He didn't say anything as he walked over to me, except smirk at catching me staring at him.

 He took a seat on the couch next to me, and our legs slightly brushed, causing tingles to shoot up my leg.

 Oh lord, why must my body always act this way around him?

 He slowly reached a hand over my lap and I stared at it intently, not knowing what he was gonna do.

 He quickly snatched my half-eaten Oreo cookie off my lap and shoved it in his mouth before I could stop him.

Right at that moment, the awkward tension lifted and everything seemed normal again.

 "Hey!" I yelled.

 I glared at him as he gave me a cheeky grin with his cheeks puffed out, filled with my delicious cookie. It was utterly adorable...

 He made a move to try and take the box but I quickly slapped his hand away and put it on my other side, where he couldn't reach it.

 He gave me an adorable pout, which I ignored as I pulled out another cookie and ate it slowly on purpose, just to tease him.

 I could feel his hot gaze on me as I chewed on the amazing cookie. I gave out a small moan and smirked on the inside when I heard him suck in a breath.

 "Hilary..." He breathed.

 I turned to him and my eyes widened.

 He was giving me an intense stare and I couldn't pull my eyes away.
