Gentleman (A Lydia Martin Fanfiction)

emotion

After Morells session yesterday I felt like shit. I poured my heart out to a school counsellor.

I sat up all night staring down at my car selection, occasionally singing or playing my guitar.

The next day I got dressed and walked into school with a hard expression. I had chosen to drive one of my other cars. It was a black BMW m4. I wouldnt dare drive my fathers car. Not unless I had good reason.

I got many suprised looked and lots of whispers. None of the school know who I really am. I made sure of that a long time ago. So all of them dont know im very wealthy, they only know me as the loner kid.

I sat at the back of my first class and sent a hard glare to anyone who looked my way.

I spotted Scott at lunch and swiftly sat next to him. Stiles jumped and fell off his chair. I smirked a little as he got up.

"Dont do that Tyler. You know I get scared easily. Anyway why are you so grouchy?" The buzz cut asked.

"Its nothing."

"Oh really big baby boo. Stop pouting then. And your suit jacket is killing me cmon."

I slipped the jacket off before launching it in his face. His arms waved about and he pulled a pouty face.

"Stop pouting big baby boo"  I chuckled.

"Im keeping this" he muttered and put the jacket on.

I glanced around the room, Lydia was sat alone.

Deciding I wasnt going to let my crush sit by herself, I began to walk over. Stiles got up to follow but I pushed him back down and muttered a quick stay.

I sat next to her "Hey whats up"

She looked up and gave a small smile. "Oh uh... Its ... I just really miss Jackson. Ive realised just how much I love him... and.. I just dont know what to do." She sighed and looked back down.

"Lydia. You can do much better than that jackass. Have you seen the way he treats you? You are smart, pretty, beautiful. There are loads of men who would beat him up just for you."

"I love him though. Why do I have to love him?"

I pulled her into a hug. "I dont know lyds. I dont know. Why dont you come over. We can watch any movie you like. I have surround sound?" I suggested.

She nodded against my chest.

"Ill meet you after school. Sounds good?"

"Yea"

We went our seporate ways after saying goodbye.

We met in the parking lot after class and I drove her to my warehouse. I pulled in and her mouth fell open.

"You ... you live here?"

"Uh yeah... just.. dont tell anyone. Ok?"

"Yes." She nodded furiously and got out.

I led her up the stairs into my living room. "What do you want to watch?"

"The notebook."

"Okayyyyy sappy romance it is." She playfully puched my shoulder and I let out a laugh.

"Joking.... mostly" I smiled and turned netflix on. I clicked on the note book and paused it while I went to get snacks.

We sat and watched the movie. I may have let out a tear or two, but I didnt let her see that.

I offered if she wanted to stay since it was late and she said yes.

"You can take my bed" I said, collecting a blanket to stay on the couch.

She got in bed and I laid on the sofa.

A few minutes later "Tyler" she shouted.

I git up to see what was up and walked in "Dont sleep on the sofa. This is your bed. Come on." She patted the bed.

I hesitated before laying down and pulling the covers over us.

"Night Lydia"

"Goodnight Tyler."

LYDIA
=====

I woke up and it was still dark. I turned and found Tyler was not next to me.

I got up and headed out of the room.

I explored his house before finding him in what looked like a recording studio.
He faced side ways and pressed a button. Music began to play. I sat on the chair and listened.

"I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can" He sucked in a breath and continued.

"I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can [x2]

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

(I know I can treat you better) [x3]
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can [x5]" He finished and set the guitar down.

I walked into the room and placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned and blushed.

TYLER
=====

"Better than he can.." I finished.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and hesitantly looked behind me

I began to blush when the girl I was singing about was right behind me, and was probably listening to the whole song.

She held out her hand, which I took and she pulled me closer. Her face held an unreadable expression and she lifted her hand so it touched my cheek.

"I like you too" she quoted from my song. (Not acc my song. Obviously. Credit to the amazing Shawn Mendes but i will be using his songs and saying Tyler wrote them. But he didnt.)

She stared right into my eyes before leaning forward and connecting our lips. The kiss was gentle and held many emotions.

Her hand snaked round my neck and through my hair, deepening the kiss. I slipped my arms round her waist and pulled her forward.

We pulled away and rested our foreheads together.

"We should probably sleep" she whispered.

I nodded and she took my hand, leading us back to bed.
