Lie and Tie
Eight
Tyler’s POV
I walked into Ashley’s apartment around eleven after the home game. She was sitting on her couch watching the news. I came up behind her and gently pulled her head back, placing a kiss on her lips. “How was your day babe?” I asked as I swung onto the couch next to her.
“Fine.” She kept her eyes locked on the television. I glanced at it to see what was the interesting story only to find it was on a car commercial.
“Umm Ash are you al-“
“Are you cheating on me?” she said suddenly turning to look at me. I was shocked and I just stared at her wide eyed and open mouthed, speechless.
“Am I ch-cheating on you? Ashley where would you possibly get an idea like that!?”
“You are always gone and going to different cities and you go back to the same cities and OH MY GOD ARE YOU CHEATING ON SOMEONE ELSE WITH ME!!??”she jumped up and covered her mouth. She was almost in tears. I stood up to try to calm her down and she only started to back away from me. I stopped and so did she. She was crying now and I had no clue where all this was coming from or why.
“Ashley Saige Jones, you mean the world to me! I would never cheat on anyone, ever. And I certainly am not cheating on you. I go to the cities because my job is extremely demanding of my time and I have no choice. If I didn’t go I would let down thousands of people including myself, my co workers, and my family. I text you and call you all the time while I am away because you never leave my mind and I focus better with you in my life. I’ve never been so good at the job I love than the time we have been together. I mean it every time I say” I Love You,” I really do.” I took a step closer and this time she didn’t move away so I closed the gap between us and wrapped her in a hug.
“I’m so sorry. I’m just really stressed.” She sobbed into my shoulder. I bent down and picked her up bridal style and carried her to her room, where I laid her down on her bed and helped her get under the covers. I got in bed behind her and pulled her close to my chest. Within minutes she was asleep and I quickly followed suit.
Ashley’s POV
I woke up the next morning and came into my kitchen where Tyler was making breakfast.
“You know I could have made breakfast since when you’re here it’s your only break from cooking for Freddy.” He turned and stuck his tongue at me. The television was on and I turned to see what he was watching. It was a sports high light reel from last night. They were currently finishing up talking about the Patriots’ game. I picked up the remote and changed the channel just as the announcer said that they were going to discuss the Bruins game.
Tyler looked up confused.
“They were about to talk about hockey and you know I don’t like that.” He nodded a bit stiffly before going back to cooking. “So when do you leave for New York?” I asked fishing for a change in topic.
It worked because then he replied, “I leave today at three so I need to be at the airport around one-thirty.” I glance up at the clock and saw it said that it was already ten o’clock.
“Well you better hurry up then so you can get home and pack.”
“Trying to get rid of me Jones?” he said smirking while he pieled the eggs on to two plates.
I feigned a gasp, “Me? Never!” we laughed as we sat down to eat.

“So, he’s not cheating on you right?” asked Mary.
“Right.” We were sitting in a restaurant/bar but being too young to drink we were sat at one of the tables next to the bar. Trisha and I were out for dinner with some of our best girlfriends; Mary, Becca, Cheryl, Trisha, and of course myself.
“So he left for New York today?” Trisha pouted.
I mimicked her pout, “Yeah, Ty’s plane left at three and he called when they landed so I know he is safe. I just can’t wait for him to get back already. I miss his hugs.”
“Aww are you sure that’s all you miss?” Cheryl winked suggestively and I smacked her on the arm lightly.
“Oh my God you freak!” I squealed at her. The girls and I were all laughing.
"Have you met his family yet?" Becca asked changing the topic.
“Umm well not yet but they are coming down in about two weeks and I’m meeting them then.”
“Are you nervous at all?” Mary prodded on.
“Well obviously I am a bit but that’s right now. Talk to me in two weeks and I’ll be practically in tears and shaking, I’ll be so nervous.”
Dinner went great and we stayed at the restaurant for a while before Becca and Mary had to head home because of a test tomorrow and Cheryl left about twenty minutes later.
“And then there were two.” mumbled Trisha.
I smiled and turned to look at the television. I noticed they were airing the Bruins vs. Rangers game. Just as I was about to look away, one of the Bruins players scored a goal and the name on the jersey caught my eyes. I stood up and walked closer to the bar. The camera zoomed in on the player’s celebrating and just as the group cleared I got a good luck at the player’s face.
“Son-of-a-bitch…”
