Torn Between Two brothers

Chapter Eight - I will come check for monsters

Rebecca’s P.O.V

I was still very confused two hours after Tyler had left. What the hell happened? It did happen right? He was here? We were making out? We are meeting for drinks tomorrow night? My questions were soon answered when my phone started ringing, Tyler’s number on the screen. I smiled answering the phone.

“Hello…again.” I giggled

“Hey beautiful.” He said “I sort of regretting leaving now.” he added

“Then why did you? Jake still isn’t home anyway.” I said

“Because if I stayed things would have went very differently than what they did and I never wanted to be that guy, not tonight…not with you.” He said

“Not with me? Why I am any different?” I giggled

“Because I have known you for years and you are my brother’s best friend, I done to you what I do to those other women, he would kill me.” He said

“Yes that is very true, he would kill you, and he is very protective of me as you probably already know.” I said

“I do…what you doing anyway?” He asked

“Just lying in bed, waiting to hear from Jake to see if he is coming home or I need to move out of my very comfortable bed and lock the door.” I laughed

“Well if he doesn’t come home, text me and I will come over, make sure there is no monsters.” He laughed

“I will hold you too that…” I said laughing back

Tyler and I chatted for an hour on the phone, talking about the most random things. It involved a lot of laughing and a little flirting too. As I was on the phone a text came through from Jake to say he was on his way home.

“I won’t need you to come check for monster, Jake is on his way home.” I giggled

“Oh well that is a shame, another time maybe.” He laughed

“Yes another time…” I replied

We said our goodbyes only moments later, Tyler making sure I was still up for drinks with him tomorrow night which I was. I was wondering if I should tell Jake about Tyler being here, about Tyler and I going for drinks tomorrow night? I have never lied to him but isn’t really lying or just not telling him? I don’t know but I think tonight I will not say anything to him, let him tell me all about his date. I really hope it went well, he really liked this girl and it has been a while since he has really liked someone.

“Hey I am home.” He called out as he came in, he sounded happy, and that is a good sign then.

“In my bedroom.” I called back

He came into my room, the biggest smile on his face and cam over jumping on my bed and laying down next to me.

“I am assuming by that smile it went well then?” I said

“It really did, the perfect first date and even got a goodnight kiss when I dropped her off.” He said

“Aw buddy I am so happy for you.” I said hugging him “Now details, I want details.” I added

He went on to tell me all about the day, about Peyton and he couldn’t stop smiling as he did. I automatically smiled too knowing that he was happy. I think he was already pretty smitten with her, it was nice to see. He was a good guy and deserved a good woman.

“And is there going to be a second date?” I asked curious

“Yes…tomorrow night actually, unless you want us to do something I can re-arrange?” he said

“What? No don’t be silly…you go on that second date, don’t worry about me, we can hang out the night after unless you have a third date?” I smiled

“Are you sure?” he asked

“Positive…” I laughed

“What about you? You done much tonight?” he asked

“Nope, not really just enjoying the peace and quiet.” I said smiling but hated that I lied to him.

I will tell him tomorrow in case he doesn’t take it well, don’t wanna ruin his good mood. He slipped his arm around my shoulder and I rested my head against his chest.

“It is about time you go on a date again, it has been ages.” He said

“I know but just haven’t met anyone who makes me wanna date.” I said

That was true in a way, I have not really met anyone that has stolen my attention well until um Tyler decided to start paying attention to me, and something I have wanted for some time now, never thought it would happen yet here we are. One thing I do know is that if something does eventually happen between Tyler and I, it can only happen if Jake is OK with it because if he was not then it would happen. I wouldn’t do anything to mess my friendship with Jake because he is the only person who has been constant in my life, been there for me and I would give that up for anything. Wow! Slow down, all Tyler usually does is have flings or one night’s stands even though he said earlier he never wanted to be that guy with me but I don’t know.

“I am sure you will when you least expect It.” he smiled

“Yeah maybe.” I said snuggling into him

I got him to tell me more about Peyton. If all goes well I was looking forward to meeting her.

“Can I just crash in here with you?” He said

“Yeah course you can, plus I am comfortable so you wouldn’t be allowed to move anyway.” I laughed

He never tried to argue with me on that because he knew it was true. He stripped himself down to his boxers and tee before the two of us slipped under the covers. I know what people think if they find out we sleep together in the same bed like this but there is nothing wrong or dirty about it…it is all innocent.

“Goodnight Blossom.” He said kissing the top of my head

Blossom, the name he has called me since we were twelve, why I don’t know but it has stuck.

“Goodnight Buddy.” I said turning my back to him

He rolled over, spooning me the way he always does. In moments he was fast asleep, I can’t sleep that quickly. I grabbed my phone, a text from Tyler coming through.

Tyler: Goodnight beautiful. Sweet dreams. See you tomorrow X

Becca: Goodnight handsome. See you tomorrow X

I sat my phone aside, getting myself settled down for the night. I smiled, closing my eyes and finally tried to let myself fall off to sleep. I would talk to Jake tomorrow about Tyler…hopefully.
