Loved You First

Chapter 36

Due to barely sleeping and lightly when I was, I hear the apartment door open and close. I reach for my phone on the bedstand. The clock reads 7:41. It feels too early to wake up, but it's not like I'm going to be able to fall asleep easily. I force myself up and into the bathroom. I throw my hair up into a messy bun and wipe the mascara streak below my eye off. My eyes are blood shot, probably from barely sleeping. Tyler's sound asleep, quietly snoring. I place a gentle kiss on his temple before retrieving my phone and going downstairs.

I have a text from Brad as I look at the screen.

*Something came up and I had to leave early, hope to see you guys asap. Love you.*

He can be nice sometimes, on a very rare occasion.

After making some coffee, I relax on the couch for a few minutes. My stomach growls, letting me know I should probably eat something.

Opening the refrigerator, I'm faced with little to nothing to eat. I guess that Tyler guy didn't leave much besides yogurt and a couple other things. There's literally nothing in this kitchen to eat. As long as I'm here, there will be food in here, I need food. I probably should go get some food for this place, maybe if I'm quick, I could get some before Tyler wakes up, but then again, I'm in Toronto where I have no clue where I am.

Searching for local stores on my phone, there's one just a couple buildings down from here.

Quietly as possible, I go up the stairs and into the bedroom, careful not to wake up Tyler. I shut the door to bathroom behind me as I brush my teeth and fix my hair, making myself look decent enough to be seen in public. I go back out into the bedroom, throwing on a tanktop and some athletic shorts, grabbing my pair of black flip flops and slipping them on.

Tyler was still sound asleep when I left the bedroom. I grab the keys to his Maserati from the kitchen counter and send a text to his phone, letting him know where I went. I quickly pray the volume wasn't on since it's probably in the bedroom with him, but I'm relieved when it vibrates on the island.

Making my way down the elevator to the parking garage, I get into the Maserati. This is my first time driving this thing, my luck, I'm by myself without Tyler. This should be interesting. I start it up, and that goes smoothly. Putting it into reverse and backing up is alright, but the motor as I put it in drive and step on the gas is definitely nothing like my Jeep. I could get used to this though.

I see the store that showed up in my phone just to the left. Pulling in, a group of guys surrounding the bed of a pickup truck admire Tyler's car.

"Nice car." One of them shout as I get out.

"Not mine, but thanks." I awkwardly answer, waving to them.

I get what I need and head back out to the car. The guys are all still there, not so many now, looking my way as I come out.

"Whose car is that if it's not yours?" One of them ask, they all walk in my direction. There's only three of them now instead of however many there were before.

"My boyfriend's." I put the stuff in the passenger seat, standing in front of the door as they inspect it.

"Damn, looks like Tyler's Maserati." One of them says to the other.

"Tyler Seguin?" I ask, looking at them funny. I try putting a name to their faces, but I come up with nothing. It's hard to do when I've never seen any of them before.

"Yeah, you know him?" The same guy asks me.

"I'm his girlfriend."

"You're kidding?" They all say in unison besides one of them, leaving me feeling confused.
