How To Deal

Deja Vu

Waking up with a feeling a déjà vu my head was pounding again. I felt someone lying underneath my head. Their constant heartbeat was slowly putting me back to sleep, no matter how hard I was trying to stay awake.

Right as I was about to doze back off I heard his voice say my name, “Maddyy.”

I pulled my head up and glanced into the face of Tyler. He was still sleeping but you could tell he was coming out of his dream. I put my head back down and started tracing my fingers all over his chest. I couldn’t take my eyes off his perfect eight-pack.

“Maddyy, you awake?” I heard him ask after a while.

“Mhhmmm.”

“Good. I’m starving.”

I laughed at how effortless it was for us not to be awkward around one another when we know we had sex last night. I knew we did, although I couldn’t remember it.

“I’ll get you some clothes to wear.” He said looking down at my covered body.

He got up without even using a blanket to cover himself. I didn’t take my eyes off him as he picked out one of his t-shirts and a pair of boxers for me to wear.

“Here.” He threw them. “Now you can stop checking me out.”

I laughed, “You wish.”

I got up and put the clothes on turning around I saw Tyler staring at. “Now who’s checking who out.” I laughed.

He chuckled, “You wish.”

I smiled as he came and grabbed my hand leading me out the door. We walked down the stairs in comfortable silence. Tyler and I didn’t have to talk about things; we were okay with just being in one another’s presence.

“That’s bullshit! No way he could have….”

Silence took over the kitchen as Tyler and I walked in to get our breakfast. Ian, Thomas and Roger just stared with open mouths. While Chris and Scott glared at us, Tyler must not have noticed because he continued walking over to the refrigerator with our hands tangled together.

“What’s up everyone?” he asked casually.

“What the fuck! Are you two together?” Chris asked giving me a look.

“Obviously,” I turned to see who had said that only to see Cody walking in the kitchen with a huge grin on his face. He came straight up to me and gave me a giant hug. “It’s about time!”

Tyler chuckled and kept staring into the refrigerator, “She’s my girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend?” I asked.

He just glanced over at me, “Yeah, after all that happened between us last night I think of you as my girl.” He smiled when he finished.

I heard a loud squeal. “TYLER! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!”

Olivia came storming into the kitchen looking about ready to kill someone. She gave me an evil look that I couldn’t help but return with a smirk.

“She’s. My. Girl. Friend.” Tyler spoke slowly.

She squealed again. “I heard you the first time. Why are you dating a slut?”
