Evelyna’s POV

Tyler and I continued to search for Val. We went up and down and all around. We searched the whole Arena from top to bottom, back to front and ended at a door to a room that was marked “video editing” room. I found that the door was unlocked and I could hear the faint sound of sniffling and sobbing coming from inside.

Oh, that poor man!! Poor baby Russian…

I couldn’t believe that we had broke him and made him cry. It was painful. I slowly opened the door and saw nothing but darkness inside. The sobbing came louder. Tyler peered in and called out, “Val, it’s Tyler.”

“GO AWAY!!” an angry response came. It was full of bitterness and hatred.

Tyler took a deep breath and called out, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”

“You’re a huge dick you know?”

My how Val could talk nasty...it was quite sexy actually...rather turn on-ish. I had to suppress my feelings and disguise this from Tyler. I did this by shoving Tyler into the dark room and flipping on a light. I slipped in next and then closed the door behind me. I stood behind him for now. I wanted to see how it would go with just Tyler and Val facing off.

“I know,” the man in front of me sighed.

“You made out with me girlfriend and-and...you were touching her!” Val snapped.

“I know and I’m sorry. I was an asshole.”

I stepped out from behind Tyler now. I could see the poor blond man curled in a ball in the corner. He was terribly distressed and depressed. His eyes were bloodshot from so much crying and so many tears being shed and he just looked so adorable. I pouted my lip. His crutches were tossed to the side, far from him. I instantly gasped and threw my hands over my mouth. The last thing Dallas needed was a setback for him.

“And you--!” he screamed, pointing at me, finally noticing me. (I think my gasp gave me away, but I couldn’t help it.) “You were liking it! I thought you hated Tyler!”

“I did...but Val, I didn’t want him on me...I--”

“But I saw you. You had all the power to say no to him and shove him away, but yet, he remained and he touched your chest and you liked it!”

“Yeah, I did!” Tyler laughed.

I slapped him on the arm. He instantly snapped out of it and shook his head.

“He and I had a talk and I actually would like to say that I tied Tyler Seguin up!”

Okay, that got him. He wiped his eyes with his hands now and stared at me. “You tied Tyler up?”

“Yup. And I talked to him. He really is sorry and now he’ll behave. Cause if he doesn’t, he knows that I can just tie him back up.”

Tyler tossed his head to the side and nodded. “She can. But she won’t, because I’m so very sorry and will never hurt you or her or anyone again. You are one lucky bastard Valeri Nichushkin to have such a woman. I guess I just got too jealous and heated.”

Val began to smile again. He tried to get to his feet, but cringed with pain. Tyler and I rushed over and grabbed his arms and aided him up. I left him in Tyler’s care to go get his crutches and then gave those to him. He was soon standing alone once more in his crutches.

Tyler dipped his head and then held out his fist. Val smiled and “pounded it”, putting his fist to Tyler’s. Then they both hugged and I had to grab the crutches again, but I didn’t mind it. Val’s arms were wrapped tightly around Tyler, who had his own arms wrapped warmly around the Russian. Then Tyler and I helped him to get back in the crutches once more.

“I promised Tyler, that my roommate, Kaitlyn, remember her--?” I began, as he nodded. “Well, I said that I’d try to hook them up. I kinda got her hooked and, well, she’s a Tyler fan know.”

“She’s got good tastes, right Val?” Tyler wagged his eyebrows at his friend.

“Yeah. Well, at least with this Tyler, right?”

“Yes, this Tyler is here to stay and he will take good care of Kaitlyn,” Tyler promised.

“Good boy, Seguin.” I reached over and patted his head. And a shocking thing happened, he let me. He didn’t yell or jerk back or nothing. He let me touch his hair. I drew back in utter surprise.

I really like to think that I changed Tyler Seguin for the better, but maybe it was all in the words and his mind. Whatever it was, he had changed and he was a better man because of it. I had to admit, at times I was jealous of Kaitlyn for having him now, but I always remembered who I was with. I was with the best man ever.

I was stuck with Valeri Nichushkin.

I did talk to Kaitlyn, who finished her college work and hopped on a flight to come to Dallas. And when she arrived, I introduced her to the brown haired heartthrob known only as Tyler Paul Seguin. She was sold and so was he. They hung out for the day and received word that she was happy. Tyler was treating her with respect and like a princess.

Then they went back to his place...and well, I didn’t need to know that they were having a good time. I even sent her a joking text that she should tie Tyler up, cause he “liked it.” She sent me back a picture of Tyler tied up shirtless to a chair and I shared it with Val. We both had a good laugh at that. I had to save that picture. (It was certainly a keeper!)

Over the next few weeks, I continued to pump the guy with positive energy and good luck. And by Christmas, he was walking without the crutches. It was a limp, but it was still progress and he’d definitely be ready by the New Year. I just loved my strong baby Russian.
