Masked

"Meeting" Natalie

"Xiara!" the kids yelled as they clumped around me and gave me a group hug

"hey!" I greeted them all back as I hug them back

I look around and see Tyler with a pout.

"What's the matter Tyler?" (hey! That rhymes! )

"It's just the kids like you more than me" he said as if childishly cross his arms

"Aw.Poor baby " I tease him as I pinch his cheek

He blushed hard and said "Whatever I'm out of here "

I chatted and Played with the kids at the orphanage. it was so fun so the whole car ride home I was smiling like an idiot

"Seems like someone enjoyed their visit to the kids"

"Yeah I sure did. It's a breath of fresh air" I told him smiling as I look up on the sky

"So, What do you want to do next?" he asks

"I just want to go home and take a bath" I told him because I feel sticky and greasy because of all the chasing we have done.

"Then inside we go!" Tyler says enthusiastically

I opened the door and rushed to my room to take a bath

I changed into my tank top and pajamas

"hey Ty " I called out to Tyler

"What?" he asks as he stirs the meat sauce at the pan.

"Who's Natalie?" I asked and I know he isn't comfortable with it because he stiffened noticably.

"She's a nobody and I would appreciate it if you never bring her name up again" He spoke coldly

I shivered at his tone. And Instantly regretted my question because after the dinner finished, an awkward silence covered the house

And the tension was so thick that you could easily cut a knife through it.

I woke up with my headheavy. not because I was feeling sick but because I'm feeling awful about Tyler's coldness towards me.

Why had I asked that question?

Ugh.

I got out of the shower and grabbed a fitted heart neckline black dress that shows a little cleavage and it reaches mid thigh. I wore it with my longsleeved white blazer.

and paired with a 6 inch red pumps.

If you're wondering why I'm dressed up in such a slutty way. It's because ladies & gentleman we are going clubbing. and This is the only black dress that I own. Everything is either a sundress or a shirt and pants.

and it's also Lily's birthday she is going to pick me up later maybe around 10? I don't know. and I spend a lot of time doing my hair, makeup. shaving my legs, Applying every single thing on my body until I feel ok.

I was halfway doing my curls when someone knocked at my door

"I'm really so-" He was saying but immediately stopped when he saw me, his eyes scanning my body. Pausing longer at my legs and boobs area

I snap my fingers in front of him

"You were saying?" I asked

"Sorry got distracted." he apologized "I'm really sorry for snapping at you. you didn't deserve it."

"That's alright I'm sorry too for asking carelessly." I apologized.

" Where are you going?" he asked checking me out.

"Clubbing" I told him nonchantly

"In that?" he asked pointing towards my dress.

"Yea. What do you expect I'll go there naked?" I sarcastically remarked

"No. I won't allow you to go in that outfit. " He growled

"And Why is that?" I asked him, my hands on my hips.

"It's too provocative" he tells me as he checks me out.

"Oh. shut it Tyler. What do you want me to wear? a nun's dress?" I groaned "Ugh I'm outta here"

I headed towards the door only to be yanked towards him.

"What?!"

"You can go. but promise me one thing. " he tells me his eyes never leaving mine. He was daring me to look away but I won't.

"What's that?" I ask him breathlessly feeling the heat of his hand transfer to mine.

"You won't entertain any single guy who'll flirt with you." He tells me dead serious .

"Fine. just let me go. I'm gonna be late " I tell him shrugging off his grip

"I trust you" he says as he let go of my wrist
