Pain and Love

Getting To Know Him

Tessa:

"Well as you know this is my first year at uni and I'm 18 umm... I'm not very good at introducing myself" I slightly laugh.

"No it's fine, I'm not the best either at talking about myself." Hardin replied.

"Umm so what about your age?"

"I'm 20 and I'm in my finale year at uni. I moved to here from London, my home town as you could probably guess from the accent."

"Yeah I thought the accent was British I like it though." Jesus Tessa why would you say that.

We go a bit silent for a bit but it's a comfortable silence again. It feels really comforting around Hardin I've just meet him and know nothing about him but I feel like I have known him for ages, it's so strange.

"Do you mind if I ask you about all your tattoos?" I shyly ask

"Yeah of course." He replies kindly.

"How many do you have and do any of them have like a meaning behind them."

"To be honest I have lost track of how many I have and no not really most of them I just got for fun really or I was drunk and got it done."

"Oh well some of them are really nicely designed." I had no idea how to reply to that.

"Well thank you. Anyways so I wanna know more about you and well your boyfriend tell me about him."

"Oh well umm we have known each other our whole lives due to our parents and we have been together since high school basically."

"Well he seemed alright I guess."

"Oh he can be like that all weird and standoffish."

"Oh okay."

"Umm well I'm hungry and it's a little late so would you like to order food, a little celebration of moving into uni." He laughs, his sweet laugh.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, it is 7 as well so by the time you cook and all."

"Okay well if you are sure then it sounds great, thank you." I smile and get a smile back in return.

"Well do you like Chinese there is a great Chinese around he and they deliver."

"Oh yes, Chinese is my favourite that's sounds great."

We order food and when it arrives me and Hardin sit on the sofa talking and eating whilst friends was playing in the background on the tv. But I wasn't really paying attention to it, I listening to every word Hardin said I couldn't stop myself being lost within him. He isn't really my usual type the kind of bad boy but I think my type has changed.

Once we have finished the food Hardin puts all the rubbish in the kitchen and comes back into the living room sitting beside me. I'm quite tired but I don't want to leave him I want to stay with him.

"Thank you so much for that it was great. It's been great getting to know you but I'm tired and should probably sort i few things out for classes tomorrow." I get up from the sofa.

"It's no problem don't worry but yeah it's been a good evening. Hope you have a good night sleep for tomorrow."

"Thanks well I'll see you in the morning maybe." I smile and go into my room.

As soon as I shut my door I just smile, I haven't felt so happy around anyone in so long, Hardin just makes me feel happy. He is so kind and sweet and hot as hell I can't lie.

Once I stop thinking about Hardin I start to move things around my room, get my clothes into my wardrobe and put everything where it belongs.

I put some notebooks in my bag for tomorrow, get clothes laid out ready for in the morning and then I get changed in my pj's.

I then head to the bathroom to put my toiletries in there and brush my teeth. On my way past Harding's door is slightly open and I can see him getting changed. I can only see his back but omg his muscles, the tattoos and just everything. I'm shocked by how hot looking someone's back can be. I quickly stop myself from basically drooling and go into the bathroom. Once I'm finished in there I leave and head back towards my room until I walk into something... or someone shit.

"Omg I'm so sorry Hardin I wasn't paying attention."

"Hey it's fine I wasn't really paying attention either don't worry."

We stand there for a few seconds and then I excuse myself and go back into my room. Wow what a way to embarrass yourself around your hot roommate Tessa just walk right into him you tit. Once I get into bed my head hits the pillow and I'm out like a light, deep in sleep.

AU: okay so I had a different plan for this chapter but oh well.
