Techna
You know how it feels when someone is ignoring you. They were all literally ignoring me. I don’t know what happened up there in Tyler’s home office, but I think it wasn’t quite good. Why wouldn’t they just tell me? Was it that bad?
It has been two days now. Jake has been talking to me but he has been quite distant and most especially when Tyler is around. I tried getting the information from Jake but he just dismissed it and told me not to bring up the conversation. I was hurt that we were friends, and he didn’t trust me with whatever they were hiding.
I tried talking to Tyler too, but same thing. Same routine with all of them for the past fifty two hours now.
Now, I was craving ice cream with peanut butter and pickles. If I wasn’t pregnant, I know I wouldn’t eat those. I don’t even like peanut butter, and now I am craving it. I looked at my stomach and rubbed it, it has become a habit now.
I checked the time and it was one o’clock early in the morning. I couldn’t just sleep and I had been awake since midnight. I ran to Tyler’s room and knocked on the door. I was hungry and I needed my ice-cream with peanut butter and prickles.
There wasn’t an answer. Was Tyler a deep sleeper? I don’t remember him being a deep sleeper when we were in middle school. I twisted the door and pushed the door open. I switched on the switch for dim light instead of the normal bright light, and saw Tyler sleeping on his bed. He was sleeping on his stomach, his hair falling down his face, and he looked so handsome.
He was only wearing his boxers and no T-shirt. His comforter decided to move away from his body, and to the other side of the bed. He has a nice ass…
I remembered I was here for him to get me ice cream.
“Ty. Tyler, wake up.” I kept hitting him lightly to wake up, but he didn’t bulge. He just kept on replying with Hmm.
I rolled him over and pushed him to the ground. “What the actual fuck?” He muttered under his breath. I tried hard not to laugh but I couldn’t help it. I only lasted a minute before I busted into laughter.
“You little…”
“Hot piece of meat. No wonder it’s hot in here?” I smirked at him and he sighed.
“What do you want, sweetheart?” He sat up rubbing his eyes like a kid, and he looked adorable.
“I am hungry and I need ice cream with peanut butter and prickles.” I smiled at him.
“What? Is that why you woke me out of my beauty sleep early in the morning? ”
“Well, you don’t need any more beauty sleep. You are already beautiful.” Did I just…
“He grinned at me. “You are getting cheesy lately, Techna. I like it anyway.”
“Whatever.” I said, and looked way blushing.
“But what you requested for is disgusting Ice cream and prickles are not the best combination, Techna.”
“I want ice cream now, and I don’t want anything else. Burger and fries irritates me now.” My hormones were all over the place.
“Where do you want me to get those you mentioned at this time? Ice cream stores close ten in the night, so good night. He pecked my cheek and fell back on the bed.
I started getting emotional, and tears dropped. I am never really emotional like this.
I am sure he heard my sobs because he raised his head up and his eyes softened. “I am sorry babe, I will go get it for you.” He cleaned my tears with the toilet paper that he grabbed from the night stand.
He went inside is walk in closet and came out wearing a tee and adidas sweatpants. “I will be right back, don’t miss me too much, okay?”
I snort. “You wish.” I sat on his bed as I saw him leave. I waited as I scanned through the magazines on his nightstand.
Wait, I think I heard him call me babe.
Hundreds of magazines later… I heard him pack his car in the garage. His footsteps got closer, and finally he opened the door with a plastic bag and ice cream cone in his hands. I love those!

I had almost finished the ice cream and peanut butter with prickles. While Ty was still awake, playing with my hair as he scrolled through his phone.
I dropped the half eaten empty cone, and moved closer to Tyler.
“Ty, what happened two days ago at your office upstairs?” I asked, hitting his shoulders lightly.
“Fine!” He held my waist and pulled me closer. “Jake is my brother. He, Troy and I are triplets. ”
I wasn’t ready for that bomb he dropped on me. They are triplets? I was somehow happy but Ty’s expression was otherwise.
“Oh. You will eventually let that sink in your head Ty, he is your triplet. You will have to accept him in you know…”
“I know.” He looks away. I got off him and decided to get out of his bed, but it seems like he had other intentions.
