Bellas POV
The night has been great, and I would say one of the best nights out in a long time. I called Claire and she informed me that everything was fine at home which is a relief and I have managed to get most of the girls into cabs so they can go home, Bri and I are now waiting for my driver who is going to take us back to my house for the night.
"Leaving so soon?" I get visible goosebumps on my arms when I hear the voice and Bri starts quietly giggling, spinning on my heel I turn to see Tyler standing leaning against the wall with his Team mate Rome. Yes, I am a hockey fan and yes, I am squealing like a crazed fan inside but I remember who I am and calm myself down "Yeah the girls can't handle their drink" I answer sounding way calmer than I am because inside I am fucking quaking and my lady parts are tingling just looking at him.
"You ladies got a ride?" I barely hear the question from Rome but I know Bri answers him but what she replies I have no idea because right now I am staring into those green eyes that give away exactly how he is feeling.
"Bella! Did you hear me?" Bri slaps my shoulder making me jump and Bri and Rome laugh loudly as they realise exactly what was going on "What did you say?"
"Fucking hell" she laughs "I said Harry would give Rome and Tyler a lift home, right?" I turn to face her almost getting whiplash from the speed and I see her look down and her cheeks are tinted with red, I know she likes Rome so I am completely taking one for the team here "Yes, sure" I smile trying to keep my gaze off him."
"Where to Miss?" Harry asks as we enter, I love Harry he has been my driver for two years now "Harry, how many times, call me Bella" He smiles and his cheeks tinge pink making me laugh "Where are you guys wanting dropping off?" I ask trying to look at Rome instead of Tyler, when Rome answers he gives Tylers address which makes me choke but Harry starts driving and Bri is still laughing "Is that really your address Ty?" she manages to ask and he smirks and nods. It only takes five minutes for Harry to pull up outside the address which is just around the corner from my current mansion, it takes me all of two seconds to jump out of the car and walk to the large plot of land next to Tylers mansion as I read the for-sale sign and take a quick photo on my phone of the details.
Suddenly an arm wraps over my shoulder and my whole body actually shakes from the contact "interested in becoming neighbours?" he chuckles earning him an elbow in the ribs "not with you" I smirk and he turns to face me slightly and I can almost see the danger signs in his eyes "Come on, it would be fun. You could come around when you need to borrow some sugar" that's when we both laugh loudly
"Original Tyler" I smirk as his hands land on my hips
"Tell me something about you, Bella. Something that will stop me thinking about you, something that will make me less interested in you because you have me hooked" Not going to lie that came as a shock but he pulls me closer to his body and my legs are barely holding me up now
"Okay, I work 60-hour weeks mostly from home unless I have meetings and my home life is something you wouldn't want to be around. Oh, and I should warn you... I'm a witch" I see his lips pull up into a smirk
"I knew you did something to get me hooked on you like that, did you cast a spell on me, Miss Connors?" he chuckles and his eyes dance but my mouth hangs open, how the fuck does he know my last name?
"A true witch never reveals her secrets" I smirk as I watch his eyes staring at my lips and his arms tighten around my waist "You haven't revealed anything that scares me away, Bella" he whispers near my ear sending tingling sensations all over my body
"Bella, we gotta go- oh for fuck's sake, you two seriously need to get a room. My innocent eyes have been tainted" Bri laughs covering her eyes causing all of us to laugh "Looks like our time is up" Tyler almost growls in my ear, "like I said, if you want to see me again you will have to find me" I whisper back and with my arms around his neck he replies "I will beautiful, trust me, I will" and there isn't a trace of humour in his voice.
"Tyler, put her down they need to go" Rome rolls his eyes but laughs and I pull away from Tyler heading back to the car. When Bri and I arrive back at mine the place is silent which is good, it means Claire and Ava are asleep.
"Tyler is going to find you; you know that right?" Bri giggles as she pulls me in for a hug "I fucking hope so" I laugh back and she heads off upstairs to her bedroom while I slip my shoes of and head through the hall to my bedroom. After a quick shower and slipping into my long t-shirt I get into bed pulling the covers up and it doesn't take long for me to fall into a dream filled sleep.
The bright morning sun is dancing around my room when I wake up, my eyes taking a few minutes to get used to it when I hear a little cry that melts my heart, turning to the door I see Claire standing there with baby Ava in her arms,
"Sorry hon but she wouldn't settle" Claire sighs softly, bless her. I stand and walk over taking Ava from her arms "could you make some coffee please?" Ava instantly stops crying when I cuddle her into my chest, "it's already done hon, do you want me to take her while you get ready?" I shake my head "No, thanks though. She will sleep in her bassinette while I get ready but if you could prepare a bottle, please."
After a quick shower, Ava is fast asleep so I quickly blow-dry my hair and dress in my white long-sleeved knit sweater dress and my black thigh boots. Normally when I am off, I wouldn't put much effort into what I wear but before my shower I had a phone call my assistant telling me that I have couple who want to see our recent development project and they are thinking about purchasing it for a charity they run for single parents.
As I head down the hall with Ava in my arms, I can hear Bri telling Claire all about last night and instantly I wonder if I will see Tyler again, I sigh knowing I probably won't I mean he is a big-time celebrity, I have the press following me around but nothing like he does. "Hey ladies" I enter the kitchen-dining area and put Ava in her swing before I walk over and get my coffee from the kitchen counter, I notice Bri and Claire both staring at me "Um- what?" I chuckle nervously "You had a delivery, it's over there" Claire giggles ponying with her head into the lounge, I step up to the large glass coffee table and open the stupidly large box, Bri suddenly appears with scissors so I can open the box, my hand flies to my mouth as the sides of the box drop revealing three large bouquets of roses in vases in red, white and pink, Bri and Claire both stand their hands pressed over their mouths I notice a large card in an envelope taking it with shaking hands I open the envelope and pull the card out
'Bella, I did say I would find you. I didn't know what colour you would prefer so got them all, I would love to see you again, dinner tonight? From Tyler x' his number is at the bottom and I turn in time to see Claire wiping a tear over her cheek, oh my god. My hands are trembling and my heart rate has increased
"So, are you going then?" I look at Bri with confusion "Dinner" she clarifies and I laugh "Are you serious? Look Bri he wants the fun, smiling, confident woman he seen last night. Not a tired, single mom who by the end of the day is covered in baby vomit" she shakes her head at my response "At least message or call and say thank you for the flowers" Claire is arranging the vases on the coffee table when I pick my coffee back up "Do you guys want to come with me and Ava, I have a meeting with a couple interested in purchasing the most recent housing development for their charity?"
