His bedroom was just covered with music. Not the literal music, but the band posters covered three walls and the floor.
“This is ridiculous.” I said, “How did you get all of these?”
“Concerts, mainly, some of this stuff is my parents, or given to me for presents and stuff.” Tyler told me, flipping on the light.
The wall I was facing was covered in old vinyl records.
“Would that, like, ruin, the records?” I asked, “just gonna point that out.” Tyler laughed, taking my hand to pull me in.
“I decided they look cooler on my wall.” Tyler said. He sat down on his bed, and watched as I looked around, slightly amused.
I ran my fingers over one record, shivering slightly.
“The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Nirvana, Kiss, Pink Floyd.” I listed off. Then I turned to him, eyebrows raised.
“Why?” I asked. I sat in the floor in front of him, looking right into his eyes. Tyler moved so he was sitting across from me.
“Why what?” he asked, leaning forward, so his elbows were propped on his knees, and his face was closer to mine then what was comfortable.
“Why would you show me this?” I asked. My heart was racing. I hadn’t felt this way since, well, since I was with Nate. I had to admit-I had missed this.
“Do you drag unwilling girls into your bedroom?” I suggested, my voice quiet.
“Please.” Tyler said, “only the ones who are worthy enough for this.”
“I’m honored, then.” I said, semi-sarcastically. Tyler grinned.
“As you should be.” He said. We locked eyes again, his lit with laughter.
“We have the same color eyes.” I blurted. Tyler stared at me for a second, probably wondering what randomness came out of my brain. I smiled sweetly
“Melody Heart. Blurting things out since ninety-four.” I said. Tyler laughed.
“You are really funny.” He said.
“Yeah, well.” I shrugged, trying to sound modest. Tyler reached over, pushing a few wisps of hair back behind my ear. I almost recoiled at his touch, but there was something about his stare that told me that he wanted to do much, much more.
I panicked.
“Um, thank you for letting me intrude.” I said, “I should be getting home.” I stood up, quickly headed toward the bedroom door. I laid my hand on the door knob. Tyler pulled me back, making me fall back into his arms.
“Keep my laptop.” I said, pushing myself away, “it’s contraband, and I lied to my mom, and she thinks it’s Kara’s. So, just keep it.”
“Alright.” Tyler said. He slipped something into my hand, “I’ll talk to you later.” I pulled open the door, turning to wave.
“I’ll talk to you later.” I said quickly. Then I flew down the stairs and out the door.
The California sun was beating down as I exited his house. It did nothing to slow down my racing heart or interrupt my wild thoughts.
I looked at the ground as I walked, trying to remember the way he looked at me. His look was deep, intense. I smiled to myself as I stopped at the bus stop. I finally looked at what he had given me. It was his phone number.
He looked like he wanted to kiss me.
I decided I might be cool with that.
