Chapter 3

"You alright?"

"Yeah, thanks Leyla." Tyler lips are pulled tightly to the sides. I don't believe him but I wasn't going to argue with him right now.

"So, wolf boy or Aquarius?" I say in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"What?"

"Wolf boy or Aquarius?" I repeat."Which should I call you?"

"Alright, hilarious. What about that kiss you planted on me?"

I blush heavily. I had hoped he wouldn't remember. "No ide-"

Tyler smirks at me, challenge shimmering in his eyes. "You seemed pretty sure when you planted a big one on me."

"You were in a lot of pain, I think you were confused." I say, I could hear the lie in my voice and I knew he would pick it up.

He adds the raised eyebrow to the cheeky smirk. "You saying I dream of you kissing me?"

"What? No? I mean...." I paused. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It was wrong of me to... Take advantage of you like that. I am really sorry Tyler. Its just, when I saw you, I was so worried and the relief was unbelievable." I ramble.

"Ley, Ley, Ley." He pulls me closer to him, he was sat on the bed and I was stood between his legs. I was avoiding looking at him, I was staring right above his head in an attempt not to see his eyes. "Ley, I'm not angry."

"You're not?" I was shocked, I knew Tyler and I knew he didn't like being treated like his opinion didn't matter. When I kissed him, I don't think about him.

"No,  well I am but not at you." I give him a confused look. "I should have done it under that tree by the lake when we were fourteen. I chickened out and I have regretted it every day."

"Do you have anything to do with Connor avoiding me?" I asked.

"I couldn't let you date anyone that wasn't me." Tyler admitted, I couldn't work out if it was to me or himself.

I chuckle and shake my head. "Oh, Aquarius, You just assume I would jump right into dating you?"

"I mean... What? I, er, only if you want to. I mean I don't want you to feel like I am forcing you into anything." It was his turn to ramble and he was adorable.

"I wanted to kiss you back then too." I admitted. "You never did and you certainly never spoke about it so I just assumed you were over it. I didn't want to lose you so I assumed that being your friend was better than nothing."

"You watched me date all those girls, I cant imagine how that must have felt. Connor was bad enough and I scared him away within a week."

"Slutty Sophie was the worst, you basically had sex in front of me. It was gross." I tutted. "You almost dated Caroline for a moment. I don't think I would have spoken to you."

"So what do we do?"

"Well we are on a bed so we could... You know." He gestures to the bed and I laugh. I patted his shoulders before pushing him away slightly.

"Easy there wolf boy, you might be a dog but lets not act like one." He groans. "Anyway, your mom is downstairs, she could literally walk in on us at any point."

"There's a lock." He retorts.

I laugh again. "No. You promised me a burger." I poke his chest.

"Then can we?" Tyler asks and wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.

"No!" I shout.

"Leyla!" He whines.

"Tyler!" I say in the same whiney voice.

I felt like he should've worked out by now that I had never done the deed so to speak. I mean Connor was my first and only boyfriend, and Tyler admitted that he had scared him away so that part of the relationship had never happened. He might have put it out to everybody and anybody like some horny mutt but that wasn't me. I wasn't slutty Sophie and I wasn't some horny dog. I was a mess of a vampire. A mess of a teenager.

"Come on, Aquarius." I grab Tyler's hand and pull him off the bed. He lets out an exaggerated sigh but allows me to lead him. I open his bedroom door before leading him down the spiral staircase.

"You two going out?" Carol asks as we rush down the stairs and to the front door.

I nod at her before offering her a very teethy grin. "Yeah, see you later Carol."

"Have a good time!" She shouts behind us.

"We will." We shout together to her before clambering into Tyler's car.

--------------

"2 Cheeseburgers, extra onion and relish. No tomato on one of those and 2 fries, coffee and a coke please." Tyler says to the waitress whilst we sit in our booth.

"I'll have those right with you." She says and I smile politely at her. She collects our menu's, which we hadn't even looked at, before walking away silently.

"That was right? You still like coffee with your burger?" Tyler checks, he knew it was but I think he wanted an excuse to start up some kind of conversation. It was slightly awkward but we were comfortable enough with each other to work this out quickly.

"Yup." I say whilst popping the 'p'.

"Its gross." Tyler's nose scrunches up in disgust.

"You're gross." I respond before sticking my tongue out at him. "So what have I done to deserve Fells over the Grill?"

"Figured you deserve it, after the full moon you know."

"Hmm, nothing to do with trying to get into my pants?"

"Nope."

"Tyler, I should probably say, its not gonna happen. Anytime soon anyway." I whisper.

"Can I ask why?"

"You know I've never had a boyfriend right? I mean Connor didn't count."

"Right and what does that have t do wi- Oh, Oh. Leyla, you know I would never force you into anything. I was just messing about, I didn't even think."

"I'm glad that's out there. We are not going to mention it again, clear?" I say and he nods. "Good, so I was thinking that maybe we could go and see a movie on Friday?"

"Sounds good." He chimes

"Glad you approve Aquarius."
