Tyler's POV (Omar)

"so that will be three for dinner?" I asked
Samuel tsked with his tongue
"No, It'll just be me and you, I want to make things official and include you in things" I sighed

"building"
Samuel seems to really enjoy this 'building' a relationship thing and honestly I couldn't care for it. I just want him and I need him

"okay" Samuel spoke, seeming he wanted to end the conversation he took a deep breath and I pulled the phone away from my ear ans hung up

"Okay, Whitney! Its me and him for dinner." I piped up chucking the pumkin in the pot.
It landed with a "plop" as all the little pieces fell away from each other
"him?" Whitney asked. I nodded

oh. I forgot. she doesn't know
"I- uh um" I kept my eyes glued to the pot. Am I allowed to tell her? Are Samuel and I a secret. Should I tell her that im due to marry the man that gave us our jobs.

"Tyler..." She trailed off. I kept silent
Shit
What do I do
I can't keep quiet then she will know something is up.
I internally groaned.
I was instantly spun around and came face to face with Whitney

she shook my shoulders back and forth
"tell me please" She pleaded between shakes and I shook my head which made her shake my shoulders faster
"T.Y.L.E.R"

my stomach churned and rumbled and my hand slapped against my face.
The shaking stopped and Whitney stepped backwards quickly
"Im sorry, Im sorry" she rushed and stepped side to side trying to figure out what to do

I made a dry reaching sound which only made her panic even more.
"I'll get a bucket!" She shouted and ran out of the kitchen

I pulled my hand away from my mouth
"Well thats one way to get rid of her" I mumbled and turned back to the pot of pumkin that was now boiling. I gave it a slight stir and opened the oven to put the assorted meats and veggies into it

"I GOT ONE" Whitney ran back into the kitchen skidding on the floor as she did so. I looked over my shoulder as she scrambled off the floor
"Here I- You bastard" She threw the bucket at me and I caught it before it landed on my face and let out a loud laugh

"You should have seen your face" I crouched over as I buckled in laugher
Whitney walked over and started hitting my back and shoulders
"That wasn't funny" She spoke in between slaps and playful punches

It only made me laugh harder, I dropped to one knee and held onto my stomach
"oh my god" I breathed.
My laughs eased and I decided to play fight back with Whitney

Arms were flying everywhere
"What is going on here!" A voice boomed from the doorway, Whitney's and I play fighting froze her hand was inches from my mouth
I looked away to the door and the prin- Samuel was leaning against the doorway.

I looked back to Whitney's hand while she was distracted and bit down on her thumb
"Hey! you little!" She turned back to me and quickly moved her arms under my arm pits and tickled
I wiggled and squirmed as laugher fell from my body, loud and fast

"I-" I couldn't even speak
Whitney's fingers released from my arm pits and I let out heavy breaths
"okay, okay Im sorry" I looked at Whitney who had a playful smirk
"oh gee, Say it like you mean it" She spoke sarcastically

"Okay, Children calm down" Samuel spoke again.
I forgot he was still standing there.
Whitney stepped back and turned towards the prep station and started working on the wine selection for the dinner tonight.

"Tyler, Come here please" Samuel smiled and didn't move from the door frame.
I stepped around Whitney and cautiously went to stand directly infont of Samuel
His hands were unfolded and placed his hands on my hips.
My breath hitched in my throat
what if Whitney saw these actions, do people know?
