the death of a bachelor// Tyler Seguin//

chapter 5

"who is he?" he asked. his face was illuminated from the dash of the jeep.

"I told you who he was," I responded referring to my countless explanations of who exactly Tanner was. he'd asked me a million times, every-time was the same answer. maybe I was leaving out a few details but he didn't need to know everything. "not to mention Tyler you're acting a hell of a lot like a boyfriend right now and I don't appreciate it."

that didn't get a response. he pulled into the driveway and we both sat quietly for a moment. it was tense. I knew I shouldn't have said that but it was true. we weren't dating. we went on a few dates. he held my hand in the car but it was all part of the deal. they paid me to do this shit.

Suddenly I couldn't stand being in the same car as him. I went to reach for the door handle but he quickly reached over placing his hand on top of my wrist. 

"ty..."

"don't act like we have to be together outside of Dallas. you asked me to come don't forget that part, Harley. and maybe they pay you to act like you want me. play that card all you want but don't you ever say that's it's all an act because you and I both know damn well something else is going on here. maybe its emotional, maybe its just physical. I don't know that part either."

now I'm the one who can't find the words.

"I think we need to talk about boundaries..."

he pulled his lip between his teeth with his eyes fixated on his lap. I got out of the car and started towards the front door. he didn't follow me at first but by the time I reached the door he was following behind. 

one he reached the door, his hand grabbed my hip and spun me around to face him. he pushed me agains the door and leaned so close I could feel his breath. his hands anchored on my hips, pulling me flush against him. 

"Tyler" I moaned before his lips met mine. I was still for a moment before letting him and giving in. his kiss was aggressive. it was like he'd been thinking about this for a while.and then it was over.

"you tell me in the morning what boundaries you want to set, Harley." 

Tyler's pov:

I rolled over in the bed and reached for Harley but she wasn't there. then it all came back to me. the fight. I rolled out of bed and grabbed a pair of gym shorts off the chair and pulled them on then walked across the hall to her room. 

the light was just making its appearance and streamed through the blinds, bouncing off the light grey walls of her childhood room. her curls spilled over the pillow as she clutched my hoodie.

I sat on the bed and watched her eyes open up.

"hi," i whispered, rubbing my hand up and down her side. she sleepily waved back.

"I'm sorry," she mouthed.

"it's okay. but you're right. we aren't together and I need to start understanding that. behind closed doors we are Harley and Tyler not Harley and Tyler."

she leaned up and wiped her thumb under my jaw, "okay."

"would you still like to go out today? I understand if not."

"I'd love to Ty," she grinned. 

I walked out of the bedroom leaving her to get ready then went to get ready as well. the weather was rainy but beautiful. a perfect day. I grabbed a clean pair of khaki shorts and slipped them on to match a grey Brampton shirt and my same hat as always that she loved to take from me. I decided to text my mom and a few guys from the team back while she finished getting ready.

"Tyler?" Harley called from the other room. I threw my phone on the bed and walked over to her room.

"what's up?"  I asked as I walked into the room. 

she stood frantically on the bed motioning to the floor "kill it!"

I looked down at the roach on the floor and chuckled. "Harley, it's a roach it won't hurt you."

"kill it Ty please!" she asked again.

I shook my head laughing and took care of it before offering my hand to help her down from the bed.

"didn't know you were afraid of roaches."

"well now you do!"
