That one exception

Part 23

We got the door of our room, I unlocked it and guided Mini in through the door first by putting my hand just above his ass and pushing him gentle so he walked in front of me. He quickly moved over to the window, looking out at the street below, I could see that same look in his eye from before and felt a prickle of annoyance crawl up my spine. I knew I needed to do something or I'd end up snapping at him and I didn't want to take out my frustration on him. I quickly took off my hoodie and moved up behind him, making sure not to fall backwards into the chair as I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"You going to tell me what's wrong?" I leant down and rested my chin on his shoulder as I looked out the window.

"Nothing's wrong" He answered too quickly, his body was tense and I could see the muscle in his jaw working as he tried to keep control of himself.

"You're a terrible liar Min"

"OK...fine!" He turned in my arms and stepped back against the window breaking my hold on him "I'm pissed...am I allowed to be angry every now and then?!" He was almost yelling and the tension in his body told me he was annoyed but the look in his eye told me that there was more to it than just being angry. I stepped forward and reached for him but he pushed my hands away. I felt the sting of disappointment as I rested my hands on the glass either side of him making sure he couldn't go anywhere.

"Talk to me Min"

"Just leave me alone Tyler" he grumbled as he folded his arms and leant against the glass, refusing to look at me. My own anger was building, the lack of sleep was making it a lot harder to keep a grip on my own self-control and Mini's attitude wasn't helping. I knew I should walk away for a little while and calm down but I knew that if I let go of him now I would be letting go of him for good. I leant forward, anger and desperation pulling my thoughts in different directions at once making it harder to filter out the right decision on how to handle him.

"Mini" I growled into his ear struggling to keep my temper "I Love you but I swear t...." I froze, my anger disappeared and was replaced by panic faster than I took my next breath. Had I just told him that I loved him?...I felt the blood drain from my face, my heart was hammering on my ribs so hard I could feel my body shaking with each beat. We looked at each other with identical shocked expressions, I had said it, why had I said it? I didn't even know if it was true, why had I confessed something I hadn't even considered yet? I tried to say something to try and pass it off as a slip of the tongue but my mouth wouldn't form words and my voice lodged at the back of my throat. I stepped backwards, I felt that if I kept contact with him it would make it worse.

Mini ducked under my arms as I stepped backwards, I knew I'd just screwed up our entire relationship, everything was going to be fucked up now and we couldn't even go back to being just friends. I couldn't move it was like every part of me was paralysed. I felt the collar of my shirt pulled backwards making me stumble and land rather heavily into the chair, before I could recover Mini had both of my arms around the back of the chair and was starting to tie bind my wrists. I recovered enough to put up a bit of a fight but fighting with and carrying Delirious a little while ago already had my muscles strained and aching, my reactions where far too slow and nowhere near strong enough to break Mini's grip.

"Mini just let me go" I mumbled, not wanting to hear him tell me it was all over and he never wanted to hear from me again.

Mini suddenly appeared as he straddled my legs and settled in my lap, his arms wrapped around my head and neck pulling me against him "I'm not going to let you go" I felt one of his hands slide into my hair making it impossible for me to move even if I wanted to, my entire body was shaking and I was trying my hardest to regain some control over myself. "It's ok...Tyler it's ok" he murmured into my ear trying to calm me down. It took a while for me to get a grip on myself but all the time Mini stayed where he was, not moving, just playing with my hair and holding me.

I pulled back a couple of inches and looked at him, I still couldn't believe I'd said it I needed to know he didn't hate me. I couldn't see anything in his eyes other than concern, one of his hands moved under my chin a second before he leant forward and gently pressed his lips to mine. He was very slow and confident in what he was doing as if he knew what he wanted and was just waiting for me to figure it out too. I wanted this, I wanted to claim him as if nothing had happened, as if I hadn't screwed everything up. I started kissing him back hungrily the knots around my wrists reminding me that I could do little more than press against him and nip has his lower lip.

He broke the kiss, his teeth sliding over the shell of my ear making my breathing hitch. "Now that I have your attention" he almost sounded menacing as he growled in my ear, he pulled my head to one side by my hair making me feel a little anxious. "I was angry because you had spent all afternoon teasing me, making me more turned on that I have ever been but then you dumped me the second you got hold of Delirious"

"I didn't dump you Min..."

"You barely looked at me after you talked with Evan... never mind touch me" He nipped my neck, making me extremely aware of every inch of my neck that was stretched out and exposed to him.

"You're jealous?" my voice broke half way through speaking as he bite down on the base of my neck but I felt happiness and arousal curl around in the pit of my stomach, if he was jealous enough to get annoyed then maybe my blunder wasn't as bad as I thought "nice to know you care" I couldn't help the smirk that spread across my face, it must of shown in my voice too because he bit down harder on my neck making my entire body stiffen with pleasure.

"Careful what you say next lover boy...I have you exactly where I want you...I know you won't fight back...I can do whatever I want to you" He sounded like he was enjoying this at little too much.

"What makes you think I won't fight back?" I was pretty sure I was screwed regardless of what I said considering that I was tied to a chair with his full weight on top of me.

He leant forward his lips pressed against my ear "because you love me" he was trying not to laugh as he spoke.

"I'm not going to live that down am I?" I groaned realising the amount of crap he was going to send my way because of those three little words that slipped out a few minutes ago. "You use that too often princess and I'll tan that hide of yours till it's cherry red"

He began to laugh and wiggle in my lap "I know you loooove me, and you waaaant me, you can't have the booooooty" he sang completely out of key making me laugh. I wondered briefly if I had meant what I said or if it had just been a slip of the tongue, I knew I didn't want to let him go and the thought of having to say goodbye the day after tomorrow made me dread that final hour. And apparently I had a huge issue with even our friends putting their hands on him. Was I just possessive or was I admitting the truth of my feelings without knowing?
