It Started With a Rose

Chapter 4

After a long while of tears and awkward holding in the middle of the store, both Tyler and I decided to go on a walk so we could talk about things. It felt nice in Tyler's arms, it was warm and it felt safe. I was letting my walls fall for him little by little the more I got to know Tyler.

Tyler's face was all sorts of red, it made me smile not realizing that my own was also a shade of red. I walked close to Tyler, we were almost touching hands it made my stomach fill with butterflies. I looked over at Tyler as we were close to a place to stop. It was a small little park with two slides, some swings and a few other things.

Tyler and I sat on a bench not to far from the park and I looked into his deep brown eyes as he looked back into mine. Tyler's face was still a dark red and he looked away shyly, I looked down to my hands on my lap. I looked over at Tyler once more and said to him almost in a whisper "Thank you Tyler." I blushed a little as he looked over to me. "Anytime, so what was going on Lucy?"

I was worried to tell him the truth, I rubbed my arm the one I so thoughtlessly damaged. "I just had a rough day with my parents is all" I mean I wasn't fully lying. I'm sorry Tyler that I didn't fully tell you the truth that day. "Oh, you sure you're okay now?" Tyler said looking at me worried and was close to me. I blushed and nodded as I lost my words and my heart raced when he got close.

Tyler and I sat on that bench for a few hours just looking into the trees behind the park and feeling the wind hit our faces. Before we knew it though it was already five-thirty in the evening. Tyler looked at his phone, then looked over at me and smiled. "Okay, come on we have something we need to do before I bring you home." Tyler said as he got up from the bench and offered me hand. "O-okay." I said shyly and also a bit confused.

Tyler grabbed me by my wrist, not knowing it was the one I had cut and dragged me over to the park that was by us. "What are we doing at the park Tyler?" I asked him confused and in pain. Tyler smirked at me and then giggled "Well to play on it of course, isn't that what parks are for?" I burst out in laughter, something I hadn't done in a long time. "You think you are going to get me on a kid slide?" I said smugly, looking at him. He grinned "I sure as hell do." he giggled and then pulled me up to the slide. "H-hey!" I said like I was upset by him doing this, when really I didn't mind at all.

Tyler was behind me holding me as we went down the slide like I was a little kid. My face was burning red and I wanted to hide it from him. We went on the slide three or four times and when we reached the end of the slide the last time round I looked up at Tyler and he looked down at me. Our faces were both like cherries as we got off the slide and stood there awkwardly with each other.

I walked up to Tyler, I looked deeply into his eyes and he looked deeply into mine. We did that for a minute or two before my urges got the better of me. Our lips were touching and it was so warm, I could feel his breath and it felt so good. He didn't pull away which made me feel even better, because I was so scared he would.

After a little while of something I never thought would come true Tyler pulled away and looked into my eyes. Still in shock I put my hand gently to my lips and smiled looking down. "You are really something else Tyler." I said to him kindly and lovingly, he smiled back and me and kissed my cheek. "You are too Lucy, you are really something special."
