Roses Aren't Always Red

"Wakey! Wakey!" I call as I walk into Tyler's house but I get no response so I set my purse on the kitchen counter and then head up to his room. I knock gently and push the door open and I can't help my smile when I see Tyler snuggled up in bed next to Marshall. I walk over and sit on the bed and gently shake him.
"Come on Tyler… Rise and shine." I say and gently rub his back. He turns over and smiles at me as he opens his eyes.
"Morning Alice." He says and then rubs his eyes.
"Morning Tyler. Come on, go shower and I'll go make you breakfast. You have practice."
"Oh but yesterday off was so nice." He whines and I just shove him a little.
"I mean it Ty. Get up." I give him a smile and he throws the blankets off and gets out of bed in his boxer briefs and I have to look away.
"Why you blushing Alice?" He ask me jokingly and I just shake my head and smile.
"I'll be in the kitchen." I say before walking out the door with Marshall on my heal."Your daddy is crazy! Aint he Marshy poo?" I pet him and then start on making mine an omelet for Tyler. He comes down stairs dressed and ready right on time as I finish the food and put it on a plate for him.
"Why do you look so cute?" He ask me and takes a bite of his eggs.
"What? I don't always look cute?" I ask with a smirk and he shakes his head.
"You know what I mean. You always look amazing but today you really look good… Why?"
"I don't know.. why you worried someone else is going to notice me?" I ask and I see his cheeks redden. My phone goes off and I answer it. "Hey Davey." Tyler looks up at me with questioning eyes.
"Hey Alice! I was wondering if you wanted to get coffee or something?" I look at my watch.
"Sure. I am taking Tyler to practice and then I can meet you in an hour."
"Is her your boyfriend now?" He ask and I let off a smile.
"No he isn't my boyfriend." I say and Tyler takes another bite doesn't look at me anymore because he looks aggravated and a little pissed off.
"Alright well I'll see you then." He says and hangs up. I slip my phone back into my purse and Tyler puts his plate in the sink.
"You ready to go Tyler?" I ask and he just nods and I fallow him out to my car. The ride is silent and I have had about enough of the cold shoulder when we walk into the arena. "What is your deal?"
"Don't you have a date to get to?"
"Is someone jealous?" I ask with a smirk and he shakes his head.
"No." The conversation ends there because he leaves to go into the locker room.
"What's his problem?" Loui Eriksson ask me and I shrug.
"Ask him, I have no idea." I say and he nods and gives me a quick hug before going to join the boys in the locker room.
I spin my keys in my hand before walking back out the exit and heading to the coffee shop. I go inside and see Davey at a table with two coffees. He smiles when he sees me and stand up to give me a hug. "You look great Alice." He says as we take our seats.
"Thanks Davey. Thanks for the coffee." I tell him and take a sip of the iced coffee. "Iced Vanilla Chai Tea Latté! You don't forget." I tell him with a smirk and he nods.
"It's the only thing you ever order, how can I forget?" He teases. "So what's new with you? How is life as the fake girlfriend of Tyler Seguin?"
"Fake girlfriend?" I question and he nods, "How is that?"
"Well, you cook for him sometimes, you grocery shop together, half the time you sleep over there, you drive him places, control his social media…"
"Ok I get the point." I say holding up my hand, signaling him to stop. "It's fine."
"You don't sound so sure to me." He says and sips his drink.
"I think I like him. I swore I wouldn't but ya can't really control it ya know?" I ask and he nods.
"How does he feel?"
"I don't know, he knows I kind of like him because yesterday he figured out I was jealous.. but this morning when you called… he kind of got pissed off." I say and he laughs.
"Oh he must like you. He doesn't seem like the type of guy to get jealous over just anyone."
"Hey doesn't. I'm not sure if I'm going to say anything though…"
"Just follow your heart kid. You're both young." We continue our conversation for a while until I check my watch.
"I got to get going Davey, Tyler is about to be done with practice." He stand up and gives me a goodbye hug.
"Let me know how all this goes." He says as he walks me to my car."
"Will go Davey. Take care." I say before getting in and driving back to the arena. I go inside and head to the locker room where the guys are all hanging out, most are already changed.
"Hey Alice!" Brenden calls and they all look up to me and shout their hellos.
Jamie comes up to me and pulls me away from everyone else, "He was kind of pissed off all practice.. try to find out what's wrong, alright?" He ask with a gently smile and I nodded.
"I will." I say and he pats my shoulder and then I see Tyler walking out of the locker room and I just sigh and shake my head and fallow him. He is standing by my car with his hands in his pockets. I walk to the driver's side and wait for him to say something.
"Alice will you unlock the car?" I smile with the fact I got him to talk and unlock the car. We get in and I start the car.
"Where do you want to go for lunch?" I ask and he just shrugs.
"Well I'm in the mood for Macaroni grill." I say and start the short drive.
We get a table for two and then a cute male waiter comes to take our orders… oh I am so getting him back for yesterday.
"What can I get you to drink?" He ask.
"Two ice teas please."
"A Blue Moon." Tyler says and I glare at him and the waiter looks at us confused.
"Tyler… It's the middle of the day, you do not need to be seen drinking." I look up to the waiter." Two ice teas." I give him a grin and he smiles and walks away. "If you feel the need to drink in the middle of the day, we will stop and pick up beer on the way home." I tell him.
"How was your date?" He ask shortly.
"It was coffee and it was good. How was practice?"
"Good. So who is Davey?"
"Tyler are you Jealous?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Wouldn't you like that." He says as the waiter brings us the teas and then we order. Throughout the meal I find myself effortlessly flirting with the waiter and pissing off Tyler, which I found amusing. The drive home was quite as I dropped him off.
"You jealous Tyler?" I ask, getting out of the car with him and he nods.
"Yeah Alice. I'm fucking jealous." I don't have time to smile in victory because I'm pulled into a kiss. A forceful and hungry kiss. I melt into his arms as they slip around my thin waist and I run my hand through his hair on the back of his head.
His tongue begs for an entrance so I give it him and let out a soft moan as he tightens his hold on me. Slowly we pull away and look at each other and he smiles.
"Be mine Alice?"
"Yours." I say before our lips touch again.
