Jenalyn: A Splitting Personality (#2) [Complete]

Chapter 18: Jenalyn

Thursday, 8:37 P.M. EST

I text Tyler as soon as I leave the apartment Rob had me meet him at. At first, I'm not even sure what to say- I want to be upset about the whole situation, but in all reality it's not even like we're together. 

The few, short lived, text conversations we've had since I've been out here would definitely suggest otherwise though...

Hayden: Congrats on
the pregnancy?

He's online immediately, and typing a response. 

Tyler: Hey I was actually
gonna message you
about that later.
Tyler: I probably should've
spoke to you about that, I'm
sorry.

I can't help my heart from fluttering as I imagine Tyler Robson with his tail between his legs... over me.

I also can't help myself from thinking about the havoc his situation with Sophie could put on any chance I had of convincing Mama G that dating Ty could actually work for me...

Hayden: Hey it's nbd..
unless that means I can't
take you home to meet the
parents 😏

I'm laughing out loud to myself as I navigate the numerous walkways leading me through Creekside. Though neither of us have really confirmed were 'a thing' yet- Tyler and I have gotten rather close since I've come to Pennsylvania.

Close in a flirty way. And one of our running jokes just happens to be about how I have to take him home to Mama Gold to get approval...

I don't think he knows that it's steadily become more and more of an actual intention for me yet.

Tyler: No, that's got to 
happen.
Tyler: I think she'd
just love me! Rumored
to have cheated on THE 
Harlee Gold? Knocking
up Sophie Ryan?  And Oh!
Hey! Isn't Harlee your 
SISTER?? 😂... 😭

I'll admit, it sounds crazy when it's written down like that. I just can't help myself from thinking it could still somehow work out!

Well, I mean I guess before his pregnancy with Sophie was actually confirmed...

Hayden: 😕

I think about leaving it at that- allowing him to fill in the rest of the conversation for the sake of saving myself from getting disappointed having conversation about this. I mean- this is obviously going to change things. He's about to father Sophie Ryan's fucking baby.

Tyler takes a few moments to even begin typing, and before I know it- I'm giving into the voice in the back of my head burning that question into my skull.

Hayden: Does this baby
thing really change the
game? The me and you
game?

Tyler starts and stops typing a few times, causing a nervous pit to form in my belly. 

Tyler: Hmmmm..
Tyler: I don't WANT it
to... maybe we take 
things slow? Be low-
key for a little while?
I'll figure it out.  

It's not the answer I wanted, but it's not the worst I could've goten. At least now I know his words have been more than just the Tyler flirt-talk that Gage has always tried to warn me about.

He does want something with me...
