Unexpected (Tyler Herro/ Miami Heat)

Thirty Nine

Arlie went with Goran to the Heats practice.

She just sat back and watched until Tyler came running in behind Duncan.

Duncan smiled at him then at Arlie.

Tyler ran and interrupted the quick little pick up game they were playing.

"Watch it!" Jimmy said stopping the ball.

Tyler stopped in the middle of the court trying to catch his breath.

"You alright?" Arlie asked.

"No. And I'm probably never going to be. I love you, Arlie. I've been in love with you since the night we landed in Miami and I laid by your side in your bed to fall asleep. I don't know why, I don't know how but I fell for you. I fell for you bad and hard. I hate you for it, I hate that you made me fall in love with you and that you made me let you in. I was fine before, and now I'm afraid to move or even breathe around you. I'm afraid of breaking you even more. but all of that means nothing because there's no way I can stop loving you. Everything that I hate, I love. Even our little fights..."

Arlie cut Tyler off, "Show Yourself is better than Into the Unknown." She laughed.

"It really isn't. But I'd love to have that fight with you forever. Because it's worth it. Everything is worth being with you. Even through our worst times. And I know the truth about the beach...I know what really went down and I'm ok with it."

She was speechless.

"Do something!" Bam yelled at Arlie.

She stood up and walked over to him, "I keep hurting you...hurting us..."

"No, no you don't. But even so, I'd have every piece of my heart broken and I'll still be with you."

"Even when I say Shrek the Musical was great?" She teased.

He sighed, "even when you say Shrek the Musical was great."

She smiled.

"I mean she's not wrong, it wasn't that bad." Jimmy whispered to the guys.

"I love you Arlie...I don't think there's a way I could stop." Tyler said.

"I love you too." She kissed him.

Bam walked over to Duncan, "you did good man." Bam said.

"I did what had to be done. She's happy with him, he's happy with her, and I'm happy finally seeing all of us in a good place. Besides, it was getting childish if you ask me." Duncan said.

"Either way, childish or not...I'm still proud of you."

"Don't be."

"I'll try to keep that in mind." He laughed.

"So Let it Go walked so Into the Unknown could run. But your mommy will never admit that. Oh and if she tries to get you to watch that bull shut of a musical with Shrek, you run. Run as fast as you can to get away from you. It's child abuse and I'm not gonna have it." Tyler said as he was laying near Arlies growing belly.

She laughed, "Ty! We need her to decide if Into the Unknown is worth the hype or not."

"It is. But your ass is petty with Show Yourself."

"Aren't you glad you took me to see the movie. Or not we wouldn't be talking about the songs."

"I'm just happy that you made me watch part one. Cause damn was that a lot to take in."

"Welcome to the Frozen train hun." She laughed.

"I missed you so much." He sat up and kissed her.
