Crossroads

Denise

Chapter 4

Tyler cuddled me until I slept in his arms. I woke up to see the awkward position I made him sleep in.

He was sitting up on the bed with his head pulled back against the bedstead. His lips slightly parted n I could hear his light snores.

I giggled at how cute he was...then I got up and sat on his laps facing him..as I brought a pillow and placed beneath his head. He did adjust better but didn't wake up. After staring at him for God knows how long.. I decided to make us breakfast.

I made some pancakes and got fruit juice. I was just setting the plates down when I heard my doorbell.

I had remembered my coworker had promised to drop by today to finally know where I lived.

Denise is really sweet. And she's really pretty too. With her brunette shoulder length hair and brown big eyes that never stopped smiling.
I opened the door and there she was looking as cheerful as ever.

"Hi Denise... You made it...quite early too" I said as I stepped aside for her to come in.
" Sorry Nes" she said grinning which I mirrored.

"I wanted us to go shopping from here. There's a fun fair and... " she stopped talking as she gaped directly past me.
I followed her eyes and saw Tyler standing at d doorframe in nothing but sweatpants. Denise's jaw dropped as she was clearly drooling over him and Tyler who was smirking now must be enjoying every bit of it. I rolled my eyes.
"Um Denise..This is Tyler.. My... Best friend"
Turning to Tyler, I continued
"and that's Denise..My coworker."

***
Tyler's smirk grew. And Denise remained ever so quiet.
Wow! She's clearly smitten huh? I rolled my eyes

"um.. Tyler maybe you should put um..something on?" I hinted pointing out that he's half naked in front of my guest who seemed pretty flustered.

Her cheeks tinged red.
"Oh yeah..my bad..I'll see u later Nessa" he said as he grabbed his shirt
"and um... Nice to meet you... Denise" he said in a very flirtatious tone that had her blush even more.

Smirking, I bet seeing how much effect he had on her, he turned to Wink at me before leaving.
Fucking manwhore.

I cleared my throat "sorry about him Denise" I said pointing at the direction he'd just disappeared in. "Tyler can be so scatter minded at times" I finished.
She just waved her hands saying I shouldn't worry and to hurry up so we could make it to the fair.

I told her she could help herself to some pancakes seeing as i had made it for Tyler and I but being the scatter minded person he is,he's left without touching it. She blushed a bit and as I was about leaving she blurted out

" you and Tyler are just friends? "
I looked at her quite normally cause really so many people have asked and even when I give them the honest truth that there's nothing but friendship, they doubt. It's caused me a few relationships over the years and it really doesn't help that he's so breathtakingly hot. My ex boyfriends just say he's too much of a competition for them.

I ended up slapping Peter my ex boyfriend across the face when on our last date,
He implied that I practically don't let him have sex with me cause my "best friend" gives it to me all the time. I slapped him hard and dumped him.. though he just smirked smugly after that. Tyler did warn me about Peter being an ass. But when has he ever approved of my relationships?! Never. He's so over protective at times that its asphyxiating... Although i remind myself why he's always alarmed whenever i'm seeing someone. He just doesn't want me getting hurt...again.

Seeing as I was taking long to answer, Denise went on..

" You know.. Cause I find him really hot and if he's free..." She grinned from ear to ear "I'll happily take a chance with him"

I chuckled a little " we're not dating Denise.. He's my best friend and practically my big brother " Denise grinned wildly at that as she sprinted towards to kitchen like a little girl and I walked towards my room. Tyler seemed interested in her as well..but knowing him, he might just want to get laid.
I should have probably warned Denise about my best friend's love for one night stands.
She's a sweet girl and I wouldn't want her getting hurt. It'll kill her ever so booming personality.
I guess I'll have to talk to Tyler about that.
