You're Mine (Tyler White)

Chapter 10

Sidney pov
Not feeling up to explaining to Marie what was happening, I just continue walking around town. I find myself walking around a small boutique flipping through the racks of up cycled clothes they had. I found a few dresses and skirts I absolutely loved. I walked toward the back of the store where the cashier was and waiting behind a brunette. The woman turned around, bumping into me a little and said "Oh, Sidney! How are you? I saw Tyler just a few minutes ago walking around, are you two going out tonight?" The now know lady gestured to the clothes in my hand. Sherrie White, in other terms Tyler's mother, was oblivious to the news that occurred over an hour ago.

"Mrs.White, as much as I would love to say yes to that charming suggestion, I'm afraid not, me and Tyler are no longer on terms of dating as of today." I place my items on the counter as the girl scans them. I hand her the credit card my parents gave me before I came to Mississippi.

"Young Sidney, Tyler plays those games. Whatever he did to you I can assure wasn't intentional. Come to dinner tonight, I insist." She is delusional.

"Please explain to me how your exquisite son walked out of your home today with a girl, who was not me, and he told me himself what kind of person he was, and how he wouldn't change. Mrs.White I would love to keep in contact with you, but I somehow don't believe that my coming over for a lovely dinner would be ideal. My apologies ma'am." I take my bags and card from the cashier and walk around a dumbfounded Sherrie White.

Downtown in the small county is tranquil and calming to me as I sit on the bench in the middle of a courtyard beside the art building admiring the bloomed flowers and taking in the heat of the day. After seeing the time being 4:24PM I stand and begin my short walk home.

I walk through the door to see a pacing Marie with the end of her glasses in between her teeth. Jumping at the sight of my appearing home, she pulls me into a hug. "Sidney where have you been sweetheart I have been worried sick. Sherrie called a half hour ago and said you just left the boutique downtown. Where were you?"

"Marie, I just went to see Tyler, we got in an argument, I went for a walk,went shopping and I sat for a while in a tranquil setting for a few minutes and came home. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a dinner to attend to at 6." After I excuse myself I grab the coral,white, lavender, and blue dress I got at the boutique. I place a white headband in and slide on some white flats and my purse and walk upstairs. As expected on time, Dalton is sitting at the kitchen table with Marie making small talk. I make my presence known and dalton turns around, stands up, and places his arm around me. Marie gives me a look before I quickly suggest we should go. Dalton opens his truck door for me and I climb in as it is being closed behind me.

Me and Dalton talk about random things as I quickly notice we have left Madison. "Dalton, where are we going exactly?" He lets out a small laugh and makes a right turn.

"Flora, that's as much as you're going to know." Going along with his surprise, I sit along for the ride. We pull into a crowded parking lot and Dalton spots a parking spot in the front. We go inside to see a staggering amount of people waiting. He grabs my hand and pulls is through the crowd to the front where a woman asks for him name and we are seated immediately. And to my surprise, drinks and food are already on the table waiting for us.

"Dalton you did all this?" I ask in disbelief.

"Anything for you." He grabs my hand from across the table, I then pulling my hand away.

"Listen Dalton, I like you, honestly, but I just broke up with my boyfriend and I just really need a friend right now. He nods at me and smiles. I continue from that explain what happened with tyler earlier today. After Dalton pays for our meal and we begin our boring drive home, we finally arrive at Marie's house. Dalton opens the door for me and walks me up to the house.

"I had a really good time with you tonight Sidney." Dalton gives me a hug and as he pulls away he pushes his lips to mine. When I realize what is happening I push him off of me and he is greeted with a greater force knocking him to the ground. Tyler. He holds him down with his hands around his neck yelling at him with tears running down his cheeks.

"How could you do that to her? To me? You know damn well she is mine and not yours!" He slams his head against the grass before getting up and walking to me. Tyler grabs me and cries his apologies into my shoulder. I pull away from him and rub his cheek with my thumb before turning and walking inside.
