The Bet ✔

|4| This is not a date

The week was going by pretty smoothly, well as smooth as it can go anyway, same things happen just a different day. Today the wicked witch of Tech Valley and her group of leaders weren't on my case as much as they usually are but Im sure she'll make up for it tomorrow. It was now Thursday and I was waiting outside for Tyler, it was officially our first study or tutoring session, however you want to put it and yesterday after school I had given him my phone number so he can call or text me whenever he would want to get together to study and so he did.

Today was our first meeting and to be quite honest, I was nervous, I don't know why I was nervous whether it was because I still felt in the back of my mind that I couldn't trust him or because I was being alone with him. Im not going to sit here and say Im not attracted to him because I am, who wouldn't be? Those amazing blue eyes, the tousled brown hair, that breathtaking smile and to top it all off an amazing body complete with a six pack and well defined arms and shoulders, A light shiver ran up and down my spine and I felt myself instinctively bite my lip.

From the corner of my eye, I could see Tyler having an argument with none other than Cynthia. Just perfect. Note the sarcasm. I waited there for a few more minutes before I saw him making his way over to me as Cynthia left his sight. Once he reached me he gave me a small smile "Hey Em."

I reciprocated the smile and nodded my head toward the queen bee "Everything okay?"

He looked back towards my point of view and shook his head with a soft chuckle "Yeah she just got a little hormonal because I blew her off to hang out today."

I raised a brow, he blew off Cynthia to come study with me? that was defiantly a shocker "Oh -" I shrugged my shoulders "We could just make it for tomorrow and you could -"

Before I could finish my sentence he cut me off "I didn't just blow her off because I had a study date with you." he paused and looked up into my eyes "I blew her off because id rather be with you today."

My breath hitched and caught in my throat, ok even more of a shocker. I bit my lower lip and looked down suddenly shyness overcoming me. Within a few seconds I felt gently fingers under my chin lifting my gaze to meet theirs. "Is that ok?" he questioned rubbing my jawline lightly with his thumb.

Oh my god...What is this kid doing to me, my legs felt weak and my mind was suddenly blanking out and I had no idea what to say. I felt blush rise in my cheeks and gave a soft nod before I saw his lips curl into a smirk, obviously at my reaction. Im so pathetic, I groaned internally.

I took a few steps back to start walking and explained "But this is not a date."

He rose a brow and came closer to me "Who said it was?"

I mentally face palmed myself. crap! "Oh well -" I paused and searched for the words "You just said study date so I was just saying-" yet again I was cut off by his low laugh.

"Emma it was just a way of putting it." He paused and saw the obvious embarrassment creep up on my face "I can say tutoring session from now on if that makes you feel better?"

I looked down and gave a long sigh, I felt stupid and embarrassed right now, I mean I know it wasn't a date, I honestly was just trying to be witty and It ended up not coming off like that so now I look like even more of a loser than I already am. I just had to shake it off and move on. I gave a small smile, trying to brush off my feelings and nodded my head down the road "We should get going then."

As I started walking I felt strong fingers wrap around my wrist and pull my back. I looked up at Tyler with a small smirk on his face "I have a different way of getting there."

I rose a brow but before I could say anything more I heard him speak again pulling me with him "Come on..."

We walked for about a minute or two before taking a stop, and when I say walked I mean his hand still around my wrist and pulling my gently from behind him. I don't know if you would classify it as holding hands but whatever it was, I sure wasn't expecting that either. A lot of shock happening to me today. When we did take that stop we stood right in front of a Ducati Supersport bike. I opened my mouth a little and gasped when he started grabbing the helmet off the seat "Your kidding?"
