54. Keya

The girls and I went out of the restaurant at around nine in the evening. We enjoyed talking about so many stuffs about work and what not that we didn't noticed that it is already getting late.

Not until Sky fell asleep so we decided to finally leave. Lily is currently carrying my son down to her car to him settle there, Amanda and I are following her. Jessy is still inside to pee.

"Sky is a heavy sleeper, isn't he?" Lily says slowly closing the car door.

"Yeah he is, and then wakes up way too early in the morning." I said.

The three of us waited for Jessy on the parking lot, and to my great surprise a very familiar figure went out of the second entrance of the restaurant not too far from us.

It was Tyler. He's not alone. As I am trying to figure who are those people he is with, it was Alex and some other random dudes which if I am not mistaken are his teammates.

My spine stiffens as I watch Seguin pause on the steps with his arm slung around a short brunette. He’s in his usual white cotton shirt and the girl is wearing a red fitted sweat shirt. As I stare on the both of them, the way my stomach twists up with jealousy, you’d think they were naked and fucking on the stairs.

Thankfully, we're way too far from them and the ambiance in this side of the parking lot are quite dark so he won't see me.

Just in time Jessy arrived, I immediately pulled out my gaze on the two person and turned my back on them.

"Shall we go now?" I hiss to my friends.

"Is that Tyler?" Amanda suddenly asks. Crap! "Girl--"

"Oohh... He's with a girl-- hun! You need to go there and get your man." Lily says when she saw Tyler too. I didn't turned my back and just pulled them to go inside the car already.

"First of all, he's not mine. So let's go." I ordered them.

I am not about to make a fool of myself over some hockey player, especially one who says he wants to go take me on a date and then comes out for a date night with his arm around some other girl.

But then I sneak another peek, and yup! His arms are still wrapped around her and he’s laughing at whatever the brunette is saying.

My guts are being crushed to dust, but I can’t seem to look away. Brunette wraps both arms around Seguin's waist hugs him. She tips her head up at him. He smiles down at her.

And then my heart is smashed into pieces, because Tyler suddenly kisses her.

He kissed her...

On the goddamn forehead!

Like, what the hell?

I mentally groaned and finally decided to walk away. "Come on girls, let's go. That's totally not our business."

I should stop myself from feeling so stupid! Of course Tyler is allowed to do that, we're not dating or anything. Again, I am the one who is saying that our set up is only but plain co-parenting but I don't know why I am feeling this up right now.

"Come on, let's get going." I repeated.

Thankfully my friends must realize how serious I am, because they all started to take a step forward. As I opened Lily's care first, I heard someone calling me.

"Keya!"

Bloody hell! He saw me.

"Wait up!" His voice sounds closer now.

I turned to my friends in a silent plea for help, but Jessy only grins. When I turned to my other friends Lily and Amanda they are all pretending to be studying their phone.

What an actresses!

Sighing, I turn around and meet Tyler.

He is kind of thrilled to see me, his eyes bright and his gorgeous mouth painted in a smile. "I didn't know you guys will go here in the same restaurant!"

I only smiled at him totally unable to utter any word. Tyler glanced at my friends way and smiled at them and said his hey and my friends managed to say their heys too.

"Where's Sky?" He asks.

"He's already in the car sleeping." I answered.

"Segs!" Someone from his group calls him up. "Let's go?"

He twists around to shout back. "You guys go ahead!" Then he’s smiling at me again. "You better ride with me, I'll drive you home."

I shake my head. "No. It's fine, Lily can drive us. Besides, we don't want to disturb you and your date."

He furrowed his brows looking confused. "Sorry, my what? My date?"

The next thing I heard, he started laughing pointing at the girl he was with a while ago. "You mean that girl Brenda? She's just a friend."

"Oh really? A friend?" I asked in total disbelief.

He still plaster those sexy grins. "You’re jealous." He teases.

"Excuse me? No."  I lied.

"You totally are." Delight dances across his face. "Yo like me still, don't you?"

"N-no!" I lied again.

"Come on! You're better than this, baby. Why don’t you put us out of our misery and say yes already?"

"I'm sorry, yes to what again?"

"A date." He says bringing out the date again. "Just say yes."

Again, I'm dying to say yes. After seeing Tyler with another girl earlier was a hard punch on my gut and I hate to see him with another girl. He's right, I still like and want him all along.

But instead of giving him an answer that he wants to hear, I said nothing and changed the whole topic. "You should go, you're friends are still waiting for you."

"Let them." Tyler says. "So?"

"I don't know." I answered sighing. "I'll think about it."

"Take your time, Keya." He answered. "You know I am ready to wait."

I only nodded and joined my crew to give him the message that he should now leave. When he did so, my friends and I shuffled and finally hop unto Lily's car.

When the car started moving, I finally released a loud groan getting everyone's attention.

"Tyler wants to take me on a date." I announced.

"So?" Amanda says. "And what's wrong with that?"

"Keya, we saw you two earlier. Obviously, you both like each other." Lily says looking at me from the rare view mirror. "Can you guys give each other a chance?"

"In case you forgot, you two have a baby." Jessy inserted sarcastically pointing at Sky who she's currently holding on her arms.

"I'm scared."

"Scared of what?" Lily asks. "Stop living in the past and stop worrying about the future. You should go out with your baby-daddy, get to know each other more and you'll go from there!"

"Lily is right!" Amanda seconded.

"I have a suggestion!" Lily says. "André and I are going out on a double date night with his grandparents. Let's make it a triple. You two should come along. Now go on and ask him, right before the brunette comes back again and ruin everything!"

Oh I hate the thought of it!

"I'll take care of Sky tomorrow while you guys enjoy the said date tomorrow!" Jessy volunteered herself, I smiled totally appreciating how supportive they are

As we all head back home, I gathered all the courage to send Tyler a text to finally agree to go on a date with him.

   Me: i'll go on a date w/ u. But only 2morrow w/ Lily and André and his grandparents.

Tyler was fast enough to throw a text back.

  Tyler: i want us to be alone but whatvr u want baby. Txt me what time and I'll come pick u up.

  Me: alright then.

  Tyler: i promise u won't regret this.

I sighed reading his last text, we'll see about that.
