But Tyler gripped around my arm and stopped me from heading back to the table. âAnswer the question and then Iâll leave you alone. Do you want me to yourself, Layla?â
Still leaving my back facing him, I clenched my eyes tightly and then opened them after a second had passed.
âNo. Why would I want a guy who sleeps with every girl he sets his on? You taught me what I needed to know Tyler now I donât need you anymore.â
1 Those words feel like acid on my tongue and I wanted to scrub them off my tongue.
| clenched my eyes in pain as I felt my stomach knot when his hand loosen on my arm until he dropped it com pletely.
I feel him seconds later behind me, his heat burning on my back. Iâm shivering as I keep my eyes closed.
âThatâs all I needed to know Layla.â He whispered and then seconds later that heat that radiated off of him is no more and Iâm left with cold air.
717 Tyler felt his heart tear at her words. He didnât know he would feel so much pain by just her saying the word no.
The pain was unbearable and it stunned him.
He took a step closer to her, reaching out but stopped and shook his head.
She had given him her answer. She didnât want him all to herself which screamed loud and clear that she didnât want him.
Not like the way he clearly wanted her. Which he was now admitting to himself, So now that her words were set free from her mouth and slapped his eardrums, he felt hurt.
Because for the first time in his life he wanted someone so badly and that person didnât want him.
Fuck.
He stepped away from her when his throat started to burn strangely and he walked away quickly without saying a word.
He didnât have to because he somehow had a feeling she wouldnât care anyway.
He rushed out of the library and slammed into a body by accident. He reached out for the personâs arms before they toppled and apologized quickly when he saw it was Tiffany.
She looked at him in confusion and uttered. âAre you okay?â She asked, her eyes staring at him like he was a strange being.
Were his eyes red or something?
He wasnât sure when was the last time he was so emo tional, so he had no clue how he looked right now.
Raking a hand through his hair he nods. âYeah Iâm okay. See you later.â He said and walked away before he did some thing embarrassing.
He was already embarrassed that a few simple words from Layla had hurt him this badly, he didnât want to look like a fool in front of her best friend.
Tyler groaned and raked a hand through his hair again. Maybe it was a good thing Layla said no.
Maybe Tyler wasnât good enough for her.
Fuck it, he knew he wasnât good enough for her clear and simple.
He fucked many girls he lost count of, cared for none of them, and treated them like used tissues. He literally said heâd go after Tiffany too, but that was just a bluff and he hadnât actually meant it at all.
He just wanted to get even with her for hurting him even though her words were true.
He always slept around, his reputation was well-known everywhere.
But for her to basically say he was nothing more than some guy with a dick he always uses gave a blow to his ego.
Why?
Because he had wanted her to see him as more than some guy to have sex with. There he said it.
He fucking wanted Layla to see him as more than just an arrangement, more than a dick to hump on.
Fuck he wanted her as his.
For the first time in his life, he wanted a girl all to himself.
He fucking wanted her.
But she didnât want him.
And fuck did he just want to just reach into his chest and pull out his damn heart.
Why the hell does this hurt so badly?
Fuck.
He shouldered his fellow peers but didnât give a fuck.
Why should he when he was hurting and the only person who could help him stop feeling so much pain was not emo tionally available and was clearly not going to help him.
He needed to stop this feeling. He needed to get her out of his system.
He needed to forget about her like he had done to so many others.
This shouldnât be difficult. Dammit Tyler, this shouldnât be difficult.
His eyes roamed around the halls and spotted one of Karenâs friends. Her blonde hair was pulled into two ponytails and she twirled her hair around her finger while looking at him.
Tyler remembered her. He had fucked her a while back and he remembered she was a wild one and he did enjoy himself a bit.
Will she help him get rid of her presence on his body?.
On his mind?
In his heart?
Because God alone knows heâd need to get rid of her be fore he goes insane.
He walked up to her and smirked. He couldnât remember her name but he was sure it started with an A or perhaps a B. No matter, he only had to smirk and give them that look and theyâd practically drop their panties and open their legs for him.
Her eyes twinkled with that gleam of seduction he knew all too well and he couldnât help but think that Laylaâs eyes were way prettier.
He shook his head a bit and nudged his head the bath room way. The girl bit her bottom lip and nodded.
She walked away slowly, her hips swaying. When sheâs al most beside the girlâs bathroom she turns back around to give Tyler that look that beckoned him to come.
Even though his heart panged for another girl, he forced his legs to move in the direction of the bathroom.
Layla was right, he was a manwhore. And a manwhore doesnât have feelings.
Heâll get over her even if that means heâll have to fuck ev ery girl in the school again. Heâll fuck her out of his system.
Laylaâs pov âWhat the hell happened? I saw Tyler leaving and he did not look happy.â Tiffany said, breaking me out of my train of thought.
I picked up the pen quickly to pretend like I was busy when all I had been doing was sitting there and thinking about what I told Tyler.
Tiffany walked around the table and sat mirroring me.
I shrugged. âI told him I didnât care that he was fucking Karen again.â
Tiffany raised a brow. âYou donât?â
| tore my eyes away from hers hoping sheâd not catch onto my lies. âNo I donât. He can do whatever he wants and fuck any hole he wants. Itâs not like weâre still in the arrange ment.â
âWait, what?â Tiffany gasped. âThe arrangement I nod. âIs off.â I cut her off. âI called it off.â
Tiffany looked shocked. âWhy? I thought it was helping with your writers block?â
âIt did,â I said and played with the pen. âI just see no use in it anymore.â
Tiffany stays silent for a few moments and then whis pered. âYou caught feelings for him didnât you?â
My heart leaped and my throat tightens.
âNo.â I denied, but my voice cracks and gives me away.
Tiffanyâs voice softens and I lift up my gaze to see her look at me in pity. I hated that stare.
âOh Lai....â She whispered in a broken tone.
I shook my head. âDonât look at me like that. Iâll be fine. A guy like him will never change so Iâm not keeping my hopes 1. up. What was said and done today was the end of anything we had between us.â
