Tyler brings our drinks over and sits down.
“What is it with you and choosing the table at the back of the room?” he asks and shrugs off his jacket. I sigh in pure male appreciation, his white T shirt is stretched over his muscles, he’s tattoos are out on show. I would love to trace his tattoos with my tongue.
A clearing of his throat brings me out of my staring.
“That’s twice I’ve caught you staring at me”, he smirks. “I’m starting to think you actually like me, babe” I scoff and pick up my coffee and take a sip. I take off my jacket too and I see his eyes drop to my chest. And he said I was staring.
I clear my throat and he smiles and his dimples pop out.
“So, I want to know more about this ‘sexy hunk Tyler’” I say, he leans back in his chair and laughs.
“What do you want to know? I have 3 brothers; Jaime is the oldest by a year, Sam and Mickey are younger than me by two years, their twins. I’m 23. Never went to college, and I work at a local pub as a bouncer. It isn’t the best job, but I like it”, he says. “What about you?”
“Well, I live with my two older brothers, Jack and Justin. Jack is 24 like your brother and Justin is 23. They are both very over protective when they want to be. We live together in a house my nan and granddad left us, after they died two years ago. My nan and granddad basically raised us; mum and dad both ran out on us at different times. I was only 5 when my mum left, I don’t remember my dad, but my brothers do. I work in a library, I’m a bookworm; we like to stay in our natural habitats” He laughs at that. “Oh and I’m 21”
“I’m sorry about your grandparents” I sigh.
“It’s ok, my nan died first of cancer, but my granddad was so lost without her. They were married 55 years. My granddad died 10 days later in his sleep by natural causes” Tyler leans over and swipes his thumb across my cheek. I didn’t even realise I was crying.
“Sorry for crying. I’m not normally a crier” He smiles sadly.
He’s just about to say something when a beautiful woman stops at our table.
“Can I help you, love?” I look over at Tyler, where the woman is smirking. I see all the blood drain out of his face.
“Maybe you can. I just wanted to know why my fiancé is off having coffee with some tart”, she sneers. I’m the tart? Staring at Tyler, I clear my throat and arch my eyebrow. He turns to me and says the classic line.
“It’s not what it looks like”
I feel like a complete idiot! ‘It’s not what it looks like’ you’ve got to be shitting me. I stand up from the table and put my jacket on. I give Tyler a glare and then turn to the woman.
“Sorry, I didn’t realise he was engaged, and you ever call me a tart again I will rip your fake hair out” I walk away from the table.
I hear Tyler curse and his chair scrape back.
“Cassie! Wait!” he shouts.
“Nope, fuck you” I don’t stop; I just flip him the bird and walk out the shop.
Chapter T hree
Cassie
I’ve managed to avoid Tyler for three whole days, fourth day, not so lucky. On Sunday after I left star bucks I rang Jack for him to come and get me. I hid in a charity shop until it was all clear. Cowardly I know. But my ego had taken a hit; I wasn’t ready for the shit to come out of his mouth.
I walk to work and see Tyler leaning up against the doors; I wanted to turn and walk away but it had to be my turn to open up didn’t it.
“What can I do for you Tyler?” I ask, crossing my arms and glaring at him from the bottom of the stairs that lead to the main doors.
“I’ve come to explain, considering you won’t answer your phone!” he runs his hand through his hair.
“You don’t need to explain anything to me. We were just friends hanging out” I walk up the steps towards him. The height difference between us is big normally. But me
