Chapter 13: Tyler

A week or two has passed, I got close to Heather as planned,

but my plan almost worked, cause the thing you call feelings came in my way and ruined it all.

I knew I started to like Millie, but i kept ignoring them, because my target was Heather, the angel fallen from heaven, but I ended having feelings for my tigress, the queen of the jungle.

What should I do? Should i confess? Is it too soon? Is it wrong? Does she like me back? So many questions running through my mind. If I confess and if Millie confesses back, what about Heather, we were lying to her all this time. This is a disaster.

I went to school, both of them were nowhere to be seen. I head to class there they are, and on my luck there was an empty seat next to each one of them.

I wanted to sit next to Millie so bad, especially after I found out I liked her. But what about Heather?

A deep voice startled me

"What are you standing here for Tyler? Go sit down"

Oh yeah I forgot about the teacher,.. nevermind.

I hurry and sat next to Millie my fast choice (of course).

"Hey, how are you doing today?" I ask

"Good, how about you?" She smiles

"Better, now that I'm next to you. Wait let me rephrase that: Amazing" She giggles.

Half and hour passed, I was about to go to dream land, when I looked at Millie, she was so into the topic and she was beautiful like always, her eyes glowing, the sun reflects on her skin, damn, every time I'm with her I remember why i fell for her.

And suddenly I got an idea, I grab a piece of paper and write on it "follow me" , I thought it was more romantic like this, so I gave it to her and stood up

"Sorry, umm sir, I'm going to the bathroom, thanks" And left.

After about five minutes I saw her coming downstairs.

"Took you long enough" I say

"What do you want now jerk?" She asks straight away.

"I wanted to ask you something, so I couldn't wait"

"Okayy,.. shoot"

"Do you want to like hang out after school, get some ice cream and sit in the park?"

"Just... us?"

"Just us"

"Is that a date?" what I feared she would ask,

"Do you want it to be a date? I responded, she hesitated

"Oh, um, I-i don't know?"

"Don't worry, it's just a tiger and a jerk meeting up for some ice cream."

"Hahahah, ok then" she laughed and went back to class.

Some time later, the bell rings, I went to Millie she said "I'll go change and then meet you there at 4, deal?"

"Deal, I'll change too then, see you later tigress"

"See you at 4, jerk".

I went home, took a shower put on some nice straight guy clothes, my nornal style, put on a nice expensive cologne and left.

I waited for her, for like 15 minutes and saw her running towards me.

Looking like a goddess, I couldn't take my eyes off of her with just a black tight jean dress on top of a silk white shirt, and her long straight brown hair.

She is perfect in every way.

"Sorry I'm late" she said catching her breath

"Coming late looking like that? It's more than fine" I winked and continued,

"And it was just fifteen minutes. Now,.." I gave her my hand "Shall we go?"

"We shall." She took my hand.

We entered to the ice cream shop "One vanilla ice cream for me, and you?"

"One chocolate and vanilla for me please."

"Just like you" I said, she smiled, goddamn that smile make me weak on my knees.

We sat on a bench and eating the ice cream we talked and laughed, after a while we sat silently, I said "If this was a date between a tigress and a jerk, would the tigress have agreed to come?"

She looks at me and answers

"...Yeah, I guess, but it is?"

I faced her, got closer to her

"Well I wanted it to be a date, and if you want too, we can make it one?"

She stayed silent, thinking for an answer, I started to sweat, no girl has ever made me feel that way, I felt anxious and said "Um, nevermind, forget it."

She said suddenly "No no, I wanted it to be a date too, but i wanted it to be more special for our first date, and I would have dressed better"

"Hey, no, you look beautiful as always, we can do another date next time a more casual and official one"

She smiled

"Yeah, okay and... thank you"

"For what?"

"No one.. ever called me beautiful, it's nice, even... if you don't mean it"

"I mean it, i really do"

I genuinely smile.

I approached her, couldn't wait any longer and said suddenly "Um, tigress, can i kiss you?"

She froze at that sudden question, her expression changed to sadness "I-i've never kissed anyone" She is ashamed of herself.

"Then, may i steal your first kiss?"

She smiled and said "You may".

I approached her again, even more, I caress my fingers on her soft cheeks,  her lips inches away from mine, grabbing her hand in mine, ours lips about to touch, when a sudden familiar voice yelled

"What the heck is happening here?!"
