Chapter 40
*Marvy’s POV*
“Bye” He said in a mutter and left at once before I could stop him.
Alright, what the hell is this!? Where did his ego go to? Isn’t he supposed to explain whatever it is his mom had said then. Didn’t he said he loves me? Are we going to get anywhere this way?
Oh Gawd, I should really get a sleep, My head is banging.
** A week later **
So literally, it’s been one fvcking weeks and I haven’t laid my eyes on Tyler, like not even a sight of him. I did literally nothing wrong, why would he be running from me? Or is he not? I’m definitely probably the one who’s been too busy to catch a glimpse of him.
This could probably not be true cause I’ve been literally everywhere just to get to talk to him and talk out things with him, literally everywhere, except.. Oh sh. it, I forgot that one place..
With this, I hurried to my heels and raced myself to “his” rooftop, the only one place he could be on a Saturday.
So I got there, breathing heavily like I was being chased and there he was, sitted on a bench with a table before him and sketching, I guess or writing or painting, it could be anything but I can’t really see it clearly.
I was still breathing heavily and he probably heard my hushed breathings and he raised his head.
“Hey” He said with a smile. Wait.. what!? A smile?
He doesn’t look like the same guy who have been avoiding me for days? Can’t really call it avoiding cause I haven’t seen him do that but.. wasn’t he embarrassed to look me in the eyes days ago after his mom exposed him of fvcking his so called “not liked friend”
” Heeeyy” I said with a suspicious eye raise.
I walked over to him and he moved his butt a bit for me to sit and I did.
I was staring at his face before I averted them to the drawing he was sketching and a big “Wow” escaped my lips.
“Wow” I said once again and he smiled.
“You like it?” He asked, still with that breath taking smile as he did some more finishing touch on the sketching of me.
“Yeah, I love it” I said, still staring at it lovely.
“How long have you been working on this?” I asked, still not taking my eyes away from the sketch.
“Well, it’s been a week. I’ve been really busy and I just left it unfinished but since I’m less busy now, I just thought of finishing it and as an apology token to you” He said, still with that smile and I looked up at him with a raised brow.
“Apology?” I asked, though I think I know what he meant but I just don’t understand.
“Yeah, I know you know by now I lied. ” He said, taking his eyes off the drawing and then to me. He smiled again before averting his gaze and then back to the sketch.
“Mom had said that purposely and she was right and that was definitely why I had nothing to say and not just cause of that, cause I had lied to you..” He said, still doing some touched on the sketch.
“But the truth is actually.. I love you Marvy, what I had with Lila was in the past. Maybe I had lied about changing, but I did change tho. I stopped sleeping around. I had only slept with her before we ever met, way before we ever met. We are not any of that anymore, I promise ” He said, dropping the pencil and raising his head to mine and my eyes searched through his to see any hint of playfulness in them but I couldn’t see any.
“You know, you don’t have to explain all this to me?” Maybe he does have to, cause I have a child for him but he doesn’t know that though.
“Really?” He said with a dry chuckle as he returned his gaze back to the sketch and he took the paper carefully in his hands, then cleaning it and blowing air on it carefully, he turned to me and looking at me wholeheartedly, he stretched it forward and with a sincere look.
“I apologize” He said and I took it from him slowly.
“Thanks” I said shyly and tucking my hairs behind my ear.
“Um.. I should probably tell you about.. ” And at that moment, my phone beeped and he stopped.
“Sorry” I apologized and brought out my phone from my pocket. It was mom.
“Um, it’s my mom, I should take this, it’s probably urgent. I’ll be right back” I said and then hurried off.
“Hey mom” I said as I picked the call.
**
Alright, that was overwhelming. One of the hardships I face being a mom to Lia so she has this crazy addiction of me singing her a lullaby every night before she falls asleep.
I thought she would have gotten used to it by now but seems she hasn’t.
I had to run to one of the toilets and after ensuring that the coast was clear, then I began singing for her.
“Hey, I.. and where is he?” I sighed when I couldn’t see Tyler at the spot where I had just left him.
Come on, he couldn’t even wait a single minute for me? He seemed like he wanted to tell me something.
I guess I’m going back to my boring hole then. in frustration, I began dragging my legs down the stairs as I came down from the rooftop.
“Hey, you know where Alina is?” White asked at once as he rushed over to me.
“What? No, is she okay?” I asked.
“Yeah, not really, she’s been avoiding me for days, I don’t know what I did” He said.
“I don’t really know where she is but she should be with Amy, I guess” I said and he nodded.
“Um, do you perhaps know where Tyler went to?” I asked him before he could run off.
“I saw him headed to Miss Latina’s office” He said before rushing off.
Miss Latina? Again?
Did he really ditch me for Miss Latina?
