The Sexton Twins: New Age Dynamics

Chapter 8 : Setting the Board

Ty's P.O.V.

My alarm rudely woke me up out of my sleep. Just to remind me to head down to work to make some money. Honestly I couldn't sleep for shit last night. I don't remember my dream much but I felt like I wanted to sleep longer. I stared at the ceiling, waiting to gain the energy to get up. It wasn't long before I heard my phone go off again. I quickly got up to look at who it was.

It was Rio asking me if I was working a double today and wanted to trade shifts. I shot him a text back of the plan I had and he left it at that. I was actually quite disappointed for a bit that it wasn't either of the twins that texted me. They both are busy anyways today. Blake with his final show and Derrick...doing whatever Derrick does. Well I might as well head to work and show up at the party later.

Blake's P.O.V.

I'm stressing out from the last minute preparations before the show. I didn't even have time to text Tyler good morning. The moment I opened my eyes I was already falling behind. Yinu has been such a big help. Honestly without her I think I would have just said fuck it. The models are being escorted and the stage is all set. The doors will be opening soon. I looked out one more time to see the set up and I looked towards the reserve seats I had for Tyler and for Derrick.

I just realized now that I invited him to the show. Maybe it was a good thing he didn't show up. Like Derrick has always come to my show to support me but I was so invested in Tyler, I "forgot" I never told Derrick that I found him. It's not like I just didn't wanna tell him just... How do I tell him he came back? Especially how things are now in both our lives.

I kept racking my brain as I stared at the seat, completely forgetting we were about to put on a show. "Blake?...Sir?" Yinu called out to me, snapping me back to reality. "Is something wrong with the venue set up?" She asked me as she looked out as well. "No, no. I'm so sorry. I spaced out from all the excitement." I tried lying to her but she saw right through me.

"All right? Well everything, people are allowed to enter in 5 min. Show will begin in 30 minutes." With that Yinu walked away doing final preps. Well this is it. I told myself as I felt my phone ring. Shit it might be Tyler. I dug deep into my pocket and grabbed my phone to be greeted by a text from Derrick. My excitement was brought back down but it's alright. I'll see him later. I shrugged it off and opened the text.

<Hey Blake. Sorry to text you before the show. I know we don't see eye to eye at the moment but I am excited to see what you brought. I love you.> Woah I was taken back from what I just read. We've been fighting a lot recently because of the whole past dating and not so long ago issues. Shit we even have issues now due to how we are in private. Yet even during our most important times we are always there for each other.

Fuck Derrick you can't due this to me right before the show. I smiled at the text and thought about what to reply with. I think if he does come to the after party I wanna talk about Tyler with him. It's not fair that I've known for a week and didn't tell him. Before I could reply I heard people coming in and other major fashion house reps sitting. I quickly hid my phone and prepared to go to my seat and watch to make sure nothing happened.

Derricks P.O.V.

I watched as my text was opened but no reply. It's cool. To be frank I wasn't expecting a reply. The show is literally about to start. I began to look around waiting for the doors to open to let us into the venue. I felt my phone go off and I was hoping it was Tyler. It sadly wasn't instead it was Ezra saying she was here. I looked around to see where until I was brought back when someone locked arms with me. I looked down to see Ezra with a big smile.

"Hope you didn't miss me too much, my love?" She teased me as she laughed. I watched as she looked around, not letting go of my arm. She had dirty blonde hair that was roughly shoulder length and was a cute height. I believe 5' 5" the last time she told me. Her eyes were striking. It was silver gray. She was shy at first when we met but she really opened up.
