Trip to France - Troyler

Hallway Conversations (Ch 10)

Troye's POV
---

When we get back to the hotel, we all agree to just spend the rest of the day relaxing. None of us are quite over our jet-lag yet, so we say our goodbyes and separate, heading to our own rooms.

I'm still not over what happened at the restaurant either - it was so embarrassing. I still blush at the memory.

Once Tyler and I have reached the room, I decide to explore it a little more. I didn't really get time last night or this morning.

"I'm going to look around," I inform Tyler.

"Okay," Tyler answers, grabbing his laptop and lying on the bed. "Have fun."

During my little 'adventure' I discover that while the room only has one bedroom, it also has a bathroom - I knew that of course - and, to my delight, a little kitchen. I open the cupboards and see a couple of jars of Nutella.

I grin. Tyler must've put them there earlier, when I wasn't here.

I grab one of the jars and two spoons and wander out to the bedroom again.

Tyler looks up and grins. "I see you found the Nutella."

I shrug. "What can I say? I'm attracted." I sit down next to Tyler and hand him a spoon which he takes.

I open the jar, and grab my laptop.

I begin surfing through Tumblr and Twitter - but mainly Tumblr - liking a few posts here and there, while eating Nutella in France.

Perfect.

Eventually, Tyler shuts his laptop lid and puts it to the side. "I'm going to have a rest," he says.

"Okay," I say. "Have fun."

He smiles at my imitation of his earlier comment, and rolls over. I continue interneting - because 'interneting' is totally a thing.

About an hour later - time flies by when you're having fun - I hear a knock on the door. Tyler is still sleeping soundly, so I shut my laptop and answer it.

I came face-to-face with Zoe.

She opens her mouth to speak, but I place a finger over my lips, and point at Tyler, who's still sleeping.

She nods, and beckons me to follow her.

Once we're out in the deserted corridor, I shut the door behind me and look at Zoe.

"Was there something you needed?" I ask - not rudely.

"I need to know something," she announces.

I raise my eyebrows at her.

"Well, I'll get straight to the point," she says. "What is going on between you and Tyler?"

"What do you mean?" I ask, confused. What a weird question.

"I mean," she says, somewhat impatiently. "Are you two just friends, friends with benefits, boyfriends, what?"

"Just friends," I say immediately.

"I don't believe that," she says stubbornly.

"Well, it's true," I say.

"Do you like Tyler, Troye? Please answer me honestly," Zoe begs.

I consider lying, but then decide to tell her the truth. She's Zoe, after all, she can keep a secret.

"I think I may have a tiny crush on him," I say.

It's Zoe's turn to raise her eyebrows.

"Okay, a big crush on him. What's it matter? He obviously doesn't feel the same, and we're 6 years apart!" I snap, feeling slightly guilty.

Zoe appears unfazed. In fact, she looks like her birthday and Christmas has come early. I forgot how much she ships Troyler. "Age is just a number," she says wisely.

"Yeah, well there's still the whole 'he doesn't like me back' thing, Zoe!" I yell.

Zoe's eyes suddenly widen. I look behind me, and come face to face with Tyler.

How much did he hear?
