Torn Between Two brothers

Chapter Five - Simple as that

Rebecca’s P.O.V

I was glad to be done with my shift, I had been rushed off my feet all night and I was ready to get home, showered and climb into bed. I wasn’t working again tonight but had classes tomorrow. My plan for the day? Sleep for a few hours then get my paper done for class tomorrow. I checked my phone since it has to stay in my locker while I am on shift. I had a text from Jake, telling saying goodnight the same way he always does. I also had a text and a missed call from an unknown number, who was that? I checked the text, hoping that would tell me who it was. The text read…

Hey it is Tyler, I sorta stole your number from Jake lol. Call me when you are out of work

He stole my number, why would he do that? I giggled, shaking my head but decided to call him anyway, see what he wanted me for. I saved his number before hitting the call button. That was six a.m. he sent that text, why is this guy always up so early? Doesn’t he like to sleep? It only took him a second to answer.

“Good morning sunshine.” He said sounding very chirm

“Why can you be as happy this early?” I groaned

“I am a morning person.” He said chuckling on the other end of the phone

“Good for you…” I giggled “So were you calling for any particular reason?” I added

“Yes. I was wondering if you would let me treat you to breakfast before you go home. I know Jake has classes, would save you cooking?” he asked

Hmm…this he and I having breakfast together is becoming a habit. But he did have a point it would save me having to make anything when I go home.

“Yeah breakfast sounds good.” I smiled

“Good cause I am already here, turn around.” He chuckled hanging up

What? I turned around and sure enough there he was, standing there with a smirk playing on his face, looking as handsome as ever in his jeans, white tee and leather jacket. How can it be possible for him to look so good all the time? Thinking about that made me realise I must look a mess. No make-up on, hair in a messy ponytail and in sweats with no sleep…how attractive. Not like he would be looking at me like that, right?

I made my way over to him and as soon as I did he handed me a very large coffee.

“You are a life saver…thank you.” I smiled taking it from him.

The coffee at my work is not the best to be honest.

“Thought you would have needed it.” He laughed “Come in I was thinking pancakes for breakfast, how does that sound?” he added

“That sounds really good actually.” I smiled

“Good, now come on.” He said extending his arm for me

I slipped my arm through his, apparently we were walking which I don’t mind, I don’t take the car to work anyway, and Jake needs it more than me he had further to travel plus he hates public transport too, he is fussy that way.

“How was your shift?” he asked

“Tiring, run off our feet last night.” I said

“I can imagine…so you will be hungry and ready for bed then.” He said

“Yes pretty much…” I laughed

The two of chatted as we headed towards the pancake place for breakfast. All this was still a little strange to me, him wanting to spent time with me in this way, something he has never done. I hope Jake doesn’t mind us spending time together, I am sure he won’t because he isn’t like that. We headed in, easily finding a seat. I grabbed the menu, trying to decide what I wanted.

“What do you fancy beaut…um Becca.” He said quickly

Was he about to call me beautiful? Surely not? Maybe my tiredness is messing with my head.

“I am thinking pancakes with chocolate sauce and strawberries on top.” I said licking my lips

“Oh that sounds really good, I think I will have that too with a side of crispy bacon, on a separate plate of course.” He said laughing

I laughed too before we placed our orders, along with another coffee.

****

“Thank you for breakfast.” I smiled at him as we arrived back at mine

“You are very welcome, we should do it again.” he said hopeful

“Us having breakfast together is becoming a habit.” I giggled

“I know…you think maybe that is my plan?” he smirked

“Meaning?” I asked confused

He never answered me, instead he stood there continuing to smirk, leant in and placed a kiss on my cheek before walking off. I stood there wondering what the heck what was going on. He stopped for a moment, looking over his shoulder at me, winking before he disappeared down the street. What the hell just happened? I headed inside, confused.

As I stepped in my phone went, a text coming through from Tyler.

Tyler: Thanks for you company beautiful. I really hope we can do it again X

Beautiful? I am not sure if I should be enjoying his attention or be worried about because I know what he can be like when it comes to women. He gets around. I don’t think I have ever seen him with an actual girlfriend to be honest.

Becca: I enjoyed your company too :D And maybe but in one condition you need to tell me one thing…why are you suddenly wanting to spent time with me? X

I may as well find out what is going on straight up.

Tyler: Because I want to…simple as that. What about you? Do you wanna spent more time with me? X

Um…how do I answer that one? I don’t wanna come across as desperate but I don’t want him think I don’t wanna spent time with him either. One thing I knew though, I would need to text him back. I thought about it for a moment and text back.

Becca: I am sure that would be OK. I like hanging out with you X

That sounded OK right? I hope so.

Tyler: I will be in touch gorgeous…soon X

Becca: Looking forward to it x

I smiled, the conversation getting left at that. I headed through to my room, getting myself organised for my shower. I stripped myself down, heading through and making it a quick one, needing my bed more than anything now. I pulled my pjs on, slipping under the covers. I grabbed my phone, setting an alarm for a few hours because I never wanted to sleep all day or I wouldn’t sleep tonight, plus had things to do today. Maybe once I get some sleep I can think right and work out what Tyler is up to.
