Sealed With A Kiss

Lunch went by and surprisingly, I have to admit, it wasn't as bad as expected.

Now, Tyler and I were walking to our next class. We both have English class together, so we had parted ways with Seth and Tori.

We had just reached the door of our classroom, when Tyler spoke. "I forgot to mention that you're coming over to my house later today."

I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. I lifted my eyebrows curiously. "Why?"

Tyler rubbed the back of his neck, which was uncharacteristic of him. "Over the weekend, my mother, for the hundredths time, was lecturing me about my ways," he rolled his eyes at that. "So I told her that I have a girlfriend. She got all happy and excited and said that I should bring you over for dinner."

My eyes widen a little. The last thing I wanted was to meet Tyler's mother as his fake girlfriend. That would definitely be awkward. However, a deal was a deal and part of my deal was to pretend to date Tyler for his mother's sake.

Trying my best not to show how nervous I am about the whole thing, I nodded my head. "Okay."

He grinned at me. "Good." He suddenly looked over my shoulder and then back towards me. He brought his head close to mine, so that when he spoke his breath brushed lightly against my cheek. "I think we should kiss." He said in a hush tone.

I looked at him in horror, not sure if I heard him correctly. "What?"

"I said we should kiss." Tyler repeated, as if it was a normal thing.

I gave him a look. "Yeah, I heard you the first time. Why should we do that?" There's no way I'm going to kiss Tyler again.

"People are watching us. And if you look at it, since they know we are dating, they have never seen us kiss before. We have to make this as believable as we can." Tyler reasoned.

I looked around me and realized that he was right. We still had a few minutes before the bell rings, so a few students were hanging out on the corridors. Even though they were doing their own things, they still looked in our direction now and then.

I knew he was making sense, but I wish he wasn't. If Tyler and I were really dating, it was natural for us to kiss. I had just never thought of it before. Great! Now I regret agreeing to this in the first place. I took a deep sigh. In any case, he was right. "Okay, fine."

He grinned at me, before putting his hands around my waist and pulled me closer. Getting into the act too, I brought my hands up and hook it around his neck.

"It's show time." Tyler whispered, before bringing his lips down to mine.

The kiss started out slow and light for a few seconds, before he thrust his tongue inside my mouth and deepen the kiss. Kissing Tyler reminded me of when I kissed him the first time. One, he tasted of mint and cigar and two, he was a really, damn good kisser! The first time I kissed him, I wasn't paying much attention to all that, but now for some unknown reason, I was. As we kiss, I have to steel myself to prevent from letting out a satisfied sigh. I would never give Tyler that satisfaction.

A few seconds later, we broke the kiss. Tyler looked at me, his lips forming a smirk. "Nice work, Samuels."

I rolled my eyes at him. This boy was making me roll my eyes a lot lately. "Come on, let's go inside the classroom." As I turned around, I notice that a few of the students around us were looking at us. A few of them had stopped what they were doing, their mouths hanging open. We definitely put on a show for them.

At that moment, the bell for class rang. The students on the corridor started to move inside their classroom. I continued to walk inside my classroom. Tyler following behind me.

In English class, Tyler sat beside me, which he complained about. He didn't like the idea of sitting at the front of the class. He wanted for me to sit at the back with him, but in the end, I won and he sat at the front. I felt satisfied by his discomfort. However, he was a good sport, because we kept up our fake dating for the entire class.

At the end of the school day, I was walking down the hall to my locker, when someone stopped in front of me and blocked my way. I looked up to see Logan.

"I don't understand you. You are really dating him?" He asked, a disgusted look on his face.

I crossed my hands over my chest. "Yes I am and you don't get a say in who I date, Logan."

"Tyler is a guy who moves from girl to girl, Emily. He is going to eventually leave you and move on to a next girl." He commented. "I know you're smarter than that."

"Just like how you left me for another girl?" I shot back.

He clamped his mouth shut and they form in a thin line. He clearly have nothing to say and I was so done with this. I was done with him.

"I thought so." I uncross my arms and gave him a long, hard look. "Tyler and I are a couple now. So you better leave me alone and you best get used to it." I turned away from him then and walked away.
