Loving Tyler Dasen (Sequel to LWTP)

Chapter 17- It all just seems like a dream

**Alaska**

I roll over to my side and face a silent, sleeping Tyler. I smile and kiss his forehead, watching in awe at his perfect face, so peaceful. Falling asleep next to him is the best thing I could ever ask for. He breaths quietly in his sleep and slowly shuffles around, instinctively grabbing me and pulling me closer to him. 

"Don't leave me again." Tyler murmurs, and for a second I think he's awake, but he still appears to be asleep. "I love you." Tyler murmurs again.  

I soon get out of bed and make my way into kitchen, deciding to make chocolate chip pancakes. I start to make the mix and spread it out on the frying pan, before sprinkling the chocolate chips over the top. 

"What's cooking good looking?" Tyler smirks, walking into the kitchen with only his boxers on.

"Pancakes, thats what's cooking." I say smiling, flipping the pancake over to cook on the other side. Tyler walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist and he kisses my forehead.

"Good morning my gorgeous, how did you sleep?" Tyler says in-between the kisses he plants on my neck.

"I always sleep good when I'm with you." I reply and I feel his light breathing on my neck, which instantly sends shivers down my spine.

I finish the first two pancakes and I lay them out on a plate for Tyler, he grabs the maple syrup and ice cream and piles it onto his food, not holding back with the vanilla ice cream. 

"I'm starving." Tyler says.

"Oh, why's that?" I ask jokingly.

"Ah, you know.... Too much cardio last night." Tyler says winking at me, "I gotta revive myself." 

I laugh as soon as I realise what he is referencing too, little shit.

"Just eat your pancakes! You'll revive yourself quick enough." I laugh, before I begin to cook my pancakes.

"I love having you here." Tyler says, taking a seat at the table, "I love having you around, I wouldn't have it any other way." 

"I love being here." I reply, flipping my pancakes over. 

"You're staying here forever, that's it." 

"I'm staying with you forever." I call out.

"Good." Tyler calls out back to me. 

"Tyler, I can't see any of this bloody toothpaste that you want? There is no teeth whitening stuff here." I say into the phone to Tyler on the other line. Expect Tyler to send me to the store to grab things that aren't even in stock.

"It should be there, just go ask someone. Ay, I gotta go Cameron is here now he's picking me up. I'll see you soon, I love you." Tyler says and we exchange goodbye's before I hang up and continue my search for the toothpaste.

I look around me and I see extra packets on the top shelf, which is way to high for my short ass to grab. I look around and see no store clerks around, so I have no other choice but to climb the shelf. I begin to climb the shelf, slowly and steadily shifting my body weight up.

I spot the toothpaste that Tyler desperately needs so I attempt to grab it, but it's too far away. I stretch my arm out as far as I can, and soon enough I just reach it by the tip of my fingers.

"Do you need help there?" I hear someone say behind me.

"Nope, all good." I reply, not looking back at who is behind me.

"Are you sure?" The person says, and as soon as I recognise the voice, my heart drops.

I slowly make my way down the shelf, trying not to fall off or pass out. I slowly turn around and I see who it is.

It's Jake.

I freeze, unsure how to react. Do I greet him? Do I walk away? Do I punch him in the face?

"You look good." Jake awkwardly says, his eyes raking up my body.

"Ah, thanks. I'm gonna leave now." I reply, taking a step away but he stops me by grabbing my arm. 

"Alaska listen." Jake says, but I pull my arm away from his grip.

"No thank you." I say and walk away from him. He speeds up to me and walks in front of me, blocking me in my tracks.

"I want to say sorry." Jake says,  raising his hands, "Okay, bloody hell, I'm sorry for all that happened. I know I shouldn't of punched Tyler, but I was just jealous and upset that he got you and I didn't." 

"Look, Jake. It's been a long time, everyone has moved on. I don't even think about all that anymore. To be honest, It all just seems like a dream." I say, and I can see he sort of seems hurt, that I see him just as a 'dream.' "I'm with Tyler now, and we're actually so happy. I moved in with him. And Maya, she's with someone." 

"I heard about Maya." Jake chuckles. 

"And?" I question, clenching my hand around the toothpaste packet.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Jake scoffs, obviously at the fact that she is pregnant at the age of 19.

"Goodbye Jake. Nice, seeing you." I say before walking past him and making my way to pay for the toothpaste.
