Of Commitment

Of Commitment (Hessa) - part 5

Tessa's POV

The next week was a big mess. I had my two exams and I also had to change my papers as I'm not a Young anymore. And I went to the mall to do some shopping for our holiday. I bought some swim suits, lingerie, dresses and other stuff.

In this week, surprisingly, me and Hardin started to get along and we're becoming friends. We had every other day a movie night and we discovered that we have a lot of things in common which is great for our friendship.

I just arrive home after a long day. As I enter in the apartment, I smell food. So, he is cooking. I take off my shoes and I go to the kitchen where I find a relaxed Hardin, dressed with comfy clothes. And he's hot. I mentally bit my lip.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"You made dinner."

"Yes. I did. I hope you like salmon with broccoli."

"Yes." I sit on the chair and he gives me a plate with food, then he sits too and we start to eat.

"I hope it's fine if my parents are coming here tonight."

"Yeah, that's fine. But I don't want them here for too long, I'm tired and I want to go to sleep early as we have to leave tomorrow at 10 am."

"Yeah, I will make them to leave fast."

"Good."

We eat in silence and exactly when we are done, we hear the doorbell. So, my parents-in-law are here. Great!

Hardin goes to open the door while I put the plates in the dishwasher. I wash my hands and I put a fake smile on my face and I go to meet Trish and Christian.

Trish: "Tessa darling! It's so nice to see you." She hugs me.

Tessa: "I can say the same thing." She doesn't let me go until Hardin comes behind me and he pushes me back, letting his arm about my waist.

Hardin: "Enough, mom." We sit on the couch and he keeps me closer to him. And it's nice to feel him so close to me.

Christian: "Are you ready for you holiday?"

Tessa: "Honestly, yes. It was a hard year and I really need a break."

Trish: "Are you done with your studies?"

Tessa: "Yes. I had my last exam yesterday."

Hardin: "So, why did you come?"

Christian: "To see you and to wish you a beautiful holiday. And we hope you will come back from your honeymoon in three."

Hardin: "Dad, I thought we discussed about it."

Christian: "Yeah, but I want a grandson."

Hardin: "I think it's time for you to go. we had a long day and we want to sleep. Thanks for visiting us." He stands up and he walks his parents to the door. "We will buy souvenir for you from Egypt. Bye!" He locks the door and he comes back to me. "Done. They didn't stay for too long."

"You were mean..."

"We don't want to see them or hear their ideas about us having a kid."

"You are not considering this idea?"

"I thought you don't want kids now."

"Not now, but in a few years..."

"Why you are coming with this? You told me that you don't want me."

"I didn't say this, Hardin." I stand up.

"Not exactly like this."

"I said that I won't let you to fuck me for you fun and pleasure."

"We can do this for our pleasure, Tessa. If you would let me..."

"Good night!"

I leave to my room and I lock the door. It looks like I'm not ready to talk about this with Hardin, at least not until we are far away. He attracts me, but I feel like sex is a tabu talk and for me it's hard to talk about this.

I take out my luggage and I start to put all my clothes for Egypt in. When I'm done, I change in my pajama and I go to the bathroom. But as I'm stupid, I don't check if the light is on, so I find a naked Hardin in the bathroom and I scream. Shit. Shit. Shit. I go out and I hit my forehead. What the fuck? Why I did this? I'm so stupid!

"You can come in! I don't think it's something that you never seen." I hear him smirking.

"No, thank you!" I yell back and I want for him to come out. A few moments later, he comes out just with sweatpants on his. Oh, shit. He looks so good. Stop starring Tessa! "Sorry. I didn't know that you are in the bathroom."

"I bet you like what you saw." He smirks. "I can't wait the moment of seeing you naked."

"Good night, Scott."

I enter in the bathroom and I lock the door. I hear him laughing, but he leaves. I do my night routine and then I go to sleep. It's just 10pm, but tomorrow it will be a long day with our flight.

The next morning, I wake up around 7am and I get up to make some coffee. Hardin doesn't seem to be up, so I'm going to wake him up soon. I turn on the coffee machine and I go to the bathroom to do my morning routine, then I go to his room and surprisingly I find the door locked and I go in without knocking.

"Hardin! Wake up, we have to leave in one hour to catch our flight. I made coffee."

"I'm coming in a minute."

"Good. I'll wait for you in the kitchen." I leave him alone and I go to the kitchen where I pour coffee in two cups. And Hardin comes to me a few minutes later. "We can buy something for breakfast in the airport, ok?"

"Yeah, sure."

We drink our coffee and then we get dressed. We check another time our passports and we leave to the airport. We arrive there and Hardin parks the car and we go to the check-in. After one hour we are finally done and we're going to the plane. We get in and I don't sit next to Hardin, there is an old lady between our seats. When everyone is in plane, the flights attendant shows us everything and then we fly. After almost five hours, there are some turbulences and I don't feel good. I think I'm having a panic attack.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to sit straight in your seat and put your belt on. We're going through a turbulence zone, but everything will be done soon. If you are not feeling safe, please push the yellow button and you will have an oxygen mask. Thank you for understanding!"

My breath starts to be heavier and I feel a pain in my chest.

"Tess?" Hardin looks at me and I can't answer him because I'm too panicked. "Ma'am, can you let me next to my wife? She's having a panic attack." He asks the lady and she looks at me and they change the seats and I feel Hardin's hand on mine. "It's ok, I'm with you. Breath in and breath out." I do what he says, but it's not helping too much. "Tess, look at me. Please!" I look at him and my breath comes back to normal. "You are fine, you are fine." He let a kiss on my head. "Calm down... Do you want some water?"

"Yes." I manage to say while he gives me my water bottle, I drink some water and I give it back to him. "Thank you... Uhm... Can you sit next to me, please?"

"Of course, I can. Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, thank you."
