James P.O.V
What would Greyson think if I took Tyler out on a date? I just met him so I'm not too sure on his views about his friends dating his sister.
And by looking at how they interact he really cares for her, and seems like the type of brother to threaten to beat any boys face in who hurts her.
But I can't help it, seeing her Thursday come downstairs before leaving with Daniel I was instantly attracted.
She's beautiful, with her really pale skin, long hair down to her hips, the orange color she had at the time. Her bright blue eyes that both her and Greyson have, her long slender legs.
Then when she came back getting out of an old school pink car, I couldn't help but stare as I watched her go up the porch. Because I was too distracted I didn't see the ball and it hit her smack in the face.
I remember the crap I got from the boys after that.
"James what was that?" Felix yells throwing his hands out, "Sorry, I zoned out" I lied, I had to. I couldn't just admit out here in the open especially with Greyson right next to me that I had been staring at his sister.
"Nah he was too busy being distracted by what's her face" Cole laughs, I feel my cheeks get a little red.
"Tyler, her names Tyler" Greyson says I turn my head and see him looking at me. Was he telling Cole her name, or me?
Then I saw her again when she was heating up leftover Mac n' Cheese, I would then see her make new Mac n' Cheese for dinner.
She seems to only eat it and drink apple juice, every time she'd come into the living room or kitchen I couldn't help but just stare at her. And I know all the guys saw it, I just hoped Greyson had been oblivious to it.
But then earlier when she came into the library it was like it was meant to be. We could be alone together and have a conversation. I'm glad my parents made me study and even more glad that I had chosen today to be the day I do.
Gonna be honest here I got scared when I had called her pretty and said that I liked her. By the way her face got all red I had assumed maybe she liked me too and when I had asked if she did she kind of freaked out and I was worried I had been reading her all wrong.
But then when she had pointed out that she didn't say that I couldn't help but get all excited again. I had teased her again about liking me I loved watching how red her face got again.
I stopped, worrying that I might push her too far with this and scare her off.
And when I put my number in her phone and she smiled again I knew I was right, Tyler did infact like me the same way I like her.
I hated that she had to go but she had to take her insulin. I like spending time woth her, I wonder if I could take her on a date somewhere tomorrow?
Would Greyson let me? I'll have to ask him tonight.
I open my books back up and get back to studying, I gotta be ahead when I get to law school so I can graduate early.

I had stayed in the library for about and hour or so longer until I could no longer remember what I was reading.
I closed up all my books and put them in my backpack. I slung it over my shoulder and left the library turning off the light and closing the door as I left.
I stopped by Felix and Greyson's room and throw my bag down by everyone else's.
There was no room for us to all sleep in their room plus we tended to stay up really late every night so we'd up crashing in the den. The first night we were in the living room but since then Brooklyn and her friends had been sleeping there.
It'll be dinner time soon, everyone just tends to make their own thing, Tyler usually does Mac n' Cheese.
"Well look who came out of hiding" Felix says as I walk into the living room, "I've read so much that I couldn't remember what I had just read" I say stretching.
My back was killing me from sitting for so long. "Why couldn't you have just told your parents you studied and not actually do it?" Christian asks, "Because unlike you I actually want a good career, I don't just want to be some guy who played football in high-school then went on to do nothing with my life" I say and lay down face first on the couch.
I feel a light something land on my back, then claws "OW!" I fly up and there sits Vivian's cat where I just was. "I hate you I hope you know that" I say pointing at it.
It hisses at me then lays down. Almost everyone who lives in this house has a pet, I wonder if Tyler has one?
I could see her having a hamster or fish or something like that.
Felix ordered pizza for us and now we're stuck waiting for it. I'm starving I skipped out on lunch to study so I haven't eaten since breakfast.
The pizza arrived and Felix paid the guy and went to go eat in the dining room.
I hear dog nails on the wood floor and see Tyler headed towards the kitchen. Coopers trotting behind her looking up at her.
Felix glairs and grunts when he sees them. "What you don't like Tyler" Christian says taking a bite of pizza, "He's probably suffering, I mean how could you live in a house with a girl that looks like her and not want that" Cole says and wiggles his eyebrows.
We all turn to look at him, "You stay away from her" Greyson says sternly pointing at him. So does that mean he doesn't want his friends to date his sister?
"I'm just glad Cooper found someone else to bother, I can't stand him." Felix says going back to his slice. Felix has always had it out for that poor dog the second he came home and took Chris's heart, I guess he feels like Cooper has replaced him.
"Cooper leave my socks alone" Tyler says from the kitchen. "Cooper sit, stay, there see" poor Tyler everywhere she goes Cooper goes.
Then Chris and Daniel come through the front door and Cooper zooms out the kitchen and straight for the door.
Greysons phone makes a noise, he looks at it then gets up and goes to the kitchen.
I get up and go to the kitchen to grab a water from the fridge, I smile at Tyler as I pass her. She smiles back and goes to the living room and sits on the couch to eat.
I stand at the island and watch the back of her head. I like the pink hair it's cute, "Are you gonna talk to her or just keep staring at her like a creep" crap, I turn and look at Greyson.
"Sorry", I really hope he doesn't get mad I can't see my family with a black eye on Thanksgiving.
"You like her don't you?" Shit. Was he mad, he didn't sound mad but I couldnt be sure.
"Yeah, I do" I sigh ready for the blow to come, "She likes you too" what.
"Really?" I mean based off how she reacted earlier I think she does but I doubt she'd go to her brother and tell him she like me.
"She smiles when she sees you, she smiles at you, and I saw you two in the library earlier" he saw us? How?
"You saw us?" "Yeah I was trying to find Tyler I opened the door and there yall were" how did I not notice.
"Okay so you don't hate me right" I'm more worried about him hitting me still, "She seems happy with you, I haven't seen her smile like the way she does at you in a long time" I turn my head back to her and sigh.
"Can I take her out tomorrow?" He moves and I quickly back up, "I'm not gonna hit you, at least right now. But aren't you supposed to be asking her if you can take her out?"
"I wanted to ask your permission" my dad always told me to get permission from a girls dad or brother before taking them out.
"You can take her out, no funny business got it, and if you two turn into something serious you better not ever upset her or ill beat your ass got it" Greyson kind of scares me. He's really nice but when it comes to Tyler he's completely different.
I nod and he leaves the kitchen.

Tyler's P.O.V
It's about nine and I'm laying in bed with Chewy in my lap. My phone dings beside me, it's a text from James. A smile tugs at my lips.
Any plans for tomorrow? -James
No, probably just read -Me
Soooo would you be up to doing something with me? -James
Something? What's that mean?
Something? -Me
Yeah a date perhaps -James
Date? -Me
You know what a date is right? -James

I was thinking we could go ice skating, if that's okay with you -James
Yeah, that sounds fun -Me
Okay 1:00 good? -James
Perfect -Me
Oh my god. I have a date. I HAVE A DATE!
I put Chewy back in his cage and go to the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror and breathe a few times before going back out to the room.
"Guys, I have a date tomorrow" they all start screaming, "WITH WHO" Vivian is up and in my face. "James" I smile at his name, "AHH SHES BLUSHING" there goes Brooklyn.
"OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING" Addison is now up and jumping around, "Shhhhh, guys he's downstairs he'll hear you" I say trying to quiet them.
I throw myself into bed and crawl under to covers and try to go to sleep. The faster I sleep the faster I get to be with James.
I'm so exited, I can't wait.
