Mr Danger and Mrs Trouble

CHAPTER THREE

"Y/N, wake up. You have to drive me to work." I hear Javi nudge me. I sigh and get up to brush my teeth. "Hurry up!!"

I put on some denim shorts that reach up to my knees, a tank top, and an over shirt considering the heat. I take a baseball and my keys with me as Javi walks in front of me to my car.

"What happened to your car?" I ask as I get in and start it, reversing out of our driveway.

"Kate needed it." Javi shrugs and I sigh.

"Alright, how come she's here?" I start driving.

"She's helping us with the radar stuff. I told you, she has a talent. I've known her for years."

"Right, yeah. How could I forget."

"What?" He asks.

"Nothing, you just didn't tell me that she'd be coming." I shrug. "Does she have a place to stay?"

"She's staying at that motel, that's not too far from the work station. I might be staying there a few days too, it's easier you know."

"Sure."

I can't help but feel jealous, I mean Kate is this beautiful fare woman who is beautiful while I'm me with my brown skin. I mean, I love my culture and everything but I've always been insecure because of how much I was bullied for being different to others.

I stop in front of the building and smile, waiting for him to lean in and kiss my cheek like he usually does but he doesn't. He just gets out of the car and runs out to say hi to Kate.

"No food this time?" I hear Tyler say. I lower the window and look at him.

"Do I look like the school lunch lady to you?" I roll my eyes at him.

"No but you look like a damn goddess if anything." Tyler leans his left hand against the ledge of the window and my stomach flips over.

"Stop it."

"Stop what?"

"Stop flirting with me, Owens. I'm engaged."

"Yeah, to a hunk load of shit."

"I don't have time for this." I start the car and reverse it. As I drive back, I see Tyler kick a rock on the ground and groan to himself.

Could it be possible he likes me? I don't get it, he's this huge YouTube phenomenon that could get anyone that he wants and he chooses me? Not a chance.

Instead of staying at our place, I decide to pack a bag for a few days so that I can stay with Javi at the motel so he won't feel lonely.

* . * . *

"Hey, sweetie. Guess what?" I smile as I step into Javi's office. He raises his pointer finger to tell 'one minute'.

"What is it?" He says, hanging up the phone and typing out something on the laptop.

"Well, I booked a room for us at that motel so we can be together." I smile.

"Oh, you really shouldn't have. I won't even be there most of the time. Listen, I gotta go, Kate texted me." Javi jumps up out of his chair and leaves, not even saying goodbye.

I sigh and get back to my car, the tears flowing down my cheeks. I wipe them away as I get in my car and drive to the motel. As I park, I see the Wrangler truck and groan knowing Tyler is gonna be an asshole.

I take my duffel bag and get out of the car, beelining for the room I had previously booked. As I walk up the stairs to my room, I see someone howl at me. I turn around and see Tyler's friend, Boon.

"Hello, beautiful. What are you doing around these parts?" He says and I laugh.

"Going to bed, what about you guys?" I smile as I lean against the railings.

"We're just chillin' around." Lily says and I smile.

"Nice, so where did this crew get all their PhDs from?" I joke since everyone Javi works with has PhDs from big colleges.

"Oh none of us got PhDs except for Mr Wrangler here."

"Oh really? The youtube punk? Out of all of you? Him? Huh, God is real." I tease

"You keep that up I might just put you in a video." Tyler says, drinking his beer.

"Wowww." I say sarcastically as I stick up my middle fingers at him. "Suck me off."

I watch as he clutches his chest and says 'Oh lord, did that burn' as I walk away from them all. I take my key out from my pocket and sigh happily, clenching my heart as I lean against the door because of the butterflies emerging through out my whole entire body.

But then, it all cascades when I see the engagement ring on my finger. Javi. I've done so much for him and I'm risking all of it over some infatuation with some crazy good looking cowboy who also happens to chase tornadoes.

I sigh as the tears flow from my eyes. 3 years all go to waste if I do something, if I make a move, if I get all caught up with him. I could destroy a whole relationship and I've got nothing in Oklahoma.

Before I even move away from the door, I hear a knock. When I open it, I see Tyler with a smug grin across his face. He's all leant up against my door looking like a disney prince. His expression softens when he sees me.

"What's wrong?" He asks me and I look at him.

"What?" I croak out.

"You've been crying." Tyler's right hand lifts up to wipe a tear from the corner of my eye. "Something happen?"

"No, I'm fine. What're you doing here? I don't have time for your comments." I sigh.

"No comments. None at all." Tyler smirks again but before I can even close the door on him, he stops it with his foot. "You wanna go for a bite?"

I sigh, deciding that food isn't the worst idea right now and grab my jumper.

"Alright." Tyler cheers to himself as I follow him closely.
