We belong together

Chapter 61

Tessa's POV

I recovered very well after my accident and I'm feeling good. After one week of laying in the bed, it's time to go back to my life. I came back to Seattle and I decided to move in a small apartment near the house publishing. In the last weeks, I haven't seen the guy from the hospital. And I'm asking why... But no. Don't think about him, Tessa. He is just a stranger. A stranger who appears in my dreams and it's strange because I can't remember. I've talked with Kim and she told me that he is Hardin, Christian's son and we used to spend more time together. But I really don't know what to say because he doesn't look like my type.

I packed my last things from Kim's and Christian's house and I put them in my car. Then, I drive to the publishing for work. Before to go in my office, I go to see Kim.

"Good morning, Kim!"

"Hi Tessa!" She smiles.

"Why are you so happy?"

"I just made an appointment at my OB. I can't wait to find out the gender of the baby. And I just receive the wedding invitation. And I'm so excited!"

"Can I see them?"

"Sure!" She gives me an invitation. It's so beautiful. I'm so happy for them. They are going to marry in one month and they will have a baby soon. Someone has to be happy, right?

"I'm so happy for you, Kim. You deserve all this happiness."

"Thank you, Tessa. You will be happy again very soon."

"I'm going to work." I want to give back the invitation.

"No, keep it. It's for you. I hope you will not disappoint me and you will come at my wedding."

"I'm not going to miss the wedding of one of my best friends." I hug her.

"Thank you."

I enter in my office and I take off my jacket. I look to the books from my desk and I chose one. I sit down on the armchair and I start to read. At some point I get bored and I stop reading. I stand up and I look at the books from my desk. I see one with an interesting title We collided by Hardin Scott. He is a writer? Oh, God... Why is his book here? I had to do a review or something? I open the book and I see a long text on the first page.

Dear Tess,

I don't know when and where you will be when you will read this note. I don't know if you still don't remember me or if you know who I am, but I want to say something at the end... The end of our love story. Thank you for being here.

I think I am allergic to every other person. You are the one.

Love, Hardin Scott.

I am the one? The one who what? Who the hell is this man and why is he in my mind every day? Why I have to live like this? Why? A lot of questions without an answer. What means this love note? I know everyone said that he was my boyfriend, but I can't see the things we had in common. I am sensible and shy, but he is exactly the opposite. I'm an angel and he is the devil. How two poles can be together? I think it's time for some explanations... I have to find him. He has to explain everything!

I go into Kim's office.

"Sorry for bothering you, but I need some information."

"What's up?"

"Where is he?"

"Who?"

"Hardin Scott. Where I can find him?"

"Tessa... You... you remember him?"

"No, but I need some explanation. So? Do you know where is he?"

"Well... He left a few days ago. He went back to London and then he's moving to New York. I'm really sorry."

"What? London? New York?"

"Yes... He quit his job from here a few days ago. He has a friend in New York who will help him to get a new job there. If you want, I can give you his number."

"No, thank you. I think it's too late."

"Tessa, if something happened, you can tell me."

"I have a lot of dreams and he is there. He is all over my mind and I can't understand why."

"I'll send you his number and when you will be ready, you can call him."

"Ok, thanks."

I smile to her and I go back to work. I start to work and after a few hours I'm ready to go home. I see his book on my desk and I take this with me. I want to see how good is he at writing. Or maybe this book will remind me of him. Let's hope. I arrive home, I take off al my clothes and I go to take a shower. When I come out from the shower, I wrap a towel around my body and I hear my phone ringing. It's Kate. What happened?

Phone call

"Hey! What's up?"

"Hello cousin."

"Everything is good?"

"Yes. Uhm, no. I mean, yes."

"Ok, you are confusing me." I laugh.

"I... I'm getting married."

"What?" I'm surprised. Very surprised.

"Harry proposed me last night and I said yes!!! I know, I know we know each other just for a few months, but I feel he is the one. I really want this."

"I'm happy for you, Kate."

"Thank you. Oh, I wanted to ask you something."

"Ok, ask me." I giggle.

"Do you want to be my bridesmaid?"

"What?"

"Do you want to be my bridesmaid?" She says louder and we both laugh.

"Yes, I do! But when you plan this wedding?"

"On July 21th. On our first anniversary."

"How beautiful... I'm really happy for you, Kate."

"Thank you, cousin. And don't worry, your happiness is on her way. Oh, I hope you will help me with the wedding after you finish college."

"I promise. Now, I have to go. I just came out of the shower."

"Ok, see you soon."

"Bye, bye!"
