♥Stranded in St. Augustines♥
chapter 17
6 months later

The months that followed the day Tyson asked me out were comfortable. Not to mention slow, but it didn't bother me. Tyson and I never went past making out. That was only behing closed doors, and only if we were alone. Neither Tyson or I liked the idea of PDA. I mean holding hands, a hug or a kiss on the forehead every now and then, sure. But a full fledged make out session? Um, no.
I was still a virgin, and to be honest the idea of me not being one scared me to death. We never talked about it, and I was fine with that. But it was wierd. Everytime we watched a movie and two people started going at it, an awkward tension filled the room. You could tell it was radiating from me. So that's why, while I was laying with Tyson in his bed one saturday night, I decided to talk to him about it.
"Ty, can I talk to you about something?" I asked nervously. I avoided meeting his eyes, and chewed on my bottom lip like I always do when I talk about something that embarasses me.
"OF course. What is it?"
"Well," I started. "We've been together for a while now." I stopped. and silently cursed myself for how stupid I sounded.
"Yeah." He said it sort of confused. I looked into his eyes.
"And you're a guy right?" Tyson chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah. What tipped you off?" I ignored his jibe and continued.
"Well, how come we haven't... you know." He looked at me for a second, confused. And then understanding filled his eyes. He didn't say anything, so I kept going. "I mean is there something wrong with me?" I looked away from him when I said this. "Or do you just not want to?"
"Oh, Lexi, no! That's not it at all! You silly insecure girl. That's not the reason. I just don't want to push you to do something you're not ready to do. I'm a guy. I mean of course I want to, but only when you're ready. I would not make you do something you're not comfortable with." He pulled me close, but was still looking in my eyes. "You need to stop being so insecure." He kissed me on the nose. "You have nothing to be insecure about. You're beautiful." I smiled at him.
"Thank you." He rubbed my back slowly, and then his eyes took on a new sparkle.
"Lexi?"
"Yeah, Ty?" He seemed unsure of wether or not he should continue, but he did.
"I love you?" He said it like a question. Only because he was unsure of what my reaction would be. He looked at me hesitantly ready to say something to fix what he'd just said. Then I grinned and he relaxed.
"I love you too, Ty!" He pulled me even closer, and rested his cheek on my head. I stayed like that the rest of the night. In Ty's arms. I even fell asleep, buried in his chest, breathing in his scent of irish spring soap.

Sorry it took so long to update!! :P I've had so much make up work to do. I still have some, but I figured I would post a chapter! Oh and I just wanted to let you know, some girl named SydneeySmilesx3 said I stole her collab story. I was not aware that there was a collab story going on with the same title and plot as mine. StillFlyy gave me the rights to use the school name St. Augustines. I came up with the plot by myself, and asked to use the school. She said yes. end of story. I don't appreciate people telling me I stole stuff I  came up with by myself!!!
