A Kiss ( #Wattys2016 )

VIII. Footsteps.

Not to embarrass myself further and to escape the moment I ran away upstairs blushing like a red tomato leaving behind the chuckling badass.

I want distraction right now; May I as well play with Lilly.

Humph! That bastard.

I reached Lilly's room which was pretty much pink.

She and jerry were fast asleep on her small bed. She looked so adorable and my puppy looked like small brown ball of fur curled right next to her.

I walked inside the room silently admiring the room, when my eyes laid on photos hanging on the wall.

The whole wall was filled with different photos of Lilly from baby till now. My eyes landed on one particular photo and my jaw dropped. I couldnt find words to describe what I was seeing. I tried, really, I tried but I couldnt anymore; hence I burst out laughing out loud. And there before me was picture of Tyler in a pink Barbie dress. He was standing beside ecstatic Lilly while he had constipated smile plastered on his face.

Suddenly large body came in front of me hiding the photographs.

"I told mom, to take this photo down!! Shit, shit shit man!!" Tyler grumbled and I laughed out more loudly.

He turned around to face me after taking the photo off the wall, giving me a solid glare.

I shut my mouth but failed miserably to hold back and giggled again.

He stepped forward still glaring, and I stepped back. He took two steps forward and I took two backward.

"You— "I started but he shook his head.

"Dont you dare say a word." He warned.

"That – That makes me question your- your masculinity." I laughed out anyway.

"I am pretty sure sweetheart I can prove that otherwise." He smirked.

"I am pretty sure I can beat the shit out of you."

"I dont mind little spanking and whipping, sweetheart." he said his face inches away from mine and I flushed furiously.

"Ty—" Lilly mumbled in sleep.

"I think Lilly needs you", I pushed him a little stepped aside.

Lilly was half in her sleep and mumbling words when Tyler went to her and tucked her properly in bed.

I smiled at them, the jerk I know was suddenly showing a whole other side of him which I frankly very much is starting to like.

And maybe, just maybe I like him.

I snapped out of my thoughts and stepped outside the room, to go downstairs, "Ty I like Awpil." Lilly said softly and smiled to myself.

"I know and I think I like her too." He replied and my heart skipped a beat as I rushed downstairs.

Jerry was already asleep on the edge of Lilly's bed and Lilly requested not to wake him up so I decided to take him when I leave.

I walk into the living room and jump on the couch grabbing the remote control at the same moment Tyler sits beside me.

"That photo was taken on Lillys 3rd birthday. The Barbie girl, we called cancelled at the last moment and Lilly was crying uncontrollably, so there was no other option. It was not what she expected, she cringed after looking at a boyish looking barbie but laughed none the less. And that was priceless." He explained, even though I didnt ask.

Aww, thats so sweet of him. I looked at him with soft eyes and he looked at me, our eyes locked together.

"We are not watching any chick flicks." He said breaking the moment by snatching remote from my hand.

"Oh, so we are watching Barbie movie!" I giggled.

"You, are not going to let that down any time, soon are you?" he glares at me.

"NO, definitely nopes! Tyler is a girly girly cuchy cuchy boy, who loves dressing up like barbies in pink fluffy dress and likes to do pink sparkly make up and—" but before I can continue, soft lips sealed mine and I gasped. He straddled my legs and pined my hands above my head, his eyes glinting deviously as he kissed me softly one time and raised his head to look in my eyes.

"Now, what were you saying sweetheart?" He whispered. His breath tickling my lips giving rise to goosebumps on my skin.

I stared into his eyes, getting lost into his mesmerizing stare. I didn't even realize that he is dangerously close to me his lips brushing mine lightly, igniting a fire inside me. And I wanted him to kiss me, I dont know why but I really wanted to kiss him.

I have never felt like this before. It was like we were at loss of words, lost in each others eyes. I know its too soon. But it was happening.

And I dont know why.

And I dont care.
