Of Commitment

Of Commitment (Hessa) - part 6

Tessa's POV

After 17 hours, we finally arrive in Egypt. We take our bag and we go to our rented car and Hardin drive to our villa. I expect to see a tiny house, but this house it's massive. And there is a pool. Wow! That's nice.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, but I'm too tired to cook something."

"I think the owner let us food and everything we need." He goes in the kitchen. "There is some pizza in the freezer. It's good?"

"Yeah. I'm going to change my clothes. Can you make our food?"

"Sure."

"Thank you."

I take my luggage and I go to find a bedroom for me. I find one upstairs and I change in my comfy pajama. Even if it's on 6 pm, I'm going to sleep after I eat. It was a long flight and I'm tired, especially after my panic attack. But I'm glad he was there to comfort me.

When I'm done, I go back to the kitchen when I can smell the food.

"Again, with your fluffy pajama?" He laughs. "You are exactly like a kid."

"And what?"

"You should wear sexy clothes. You should show your body."

"For who? Who would want to see my body?" I sit down on the couch. I know where is he going.

"For me, of course!"

"Who says I want you to see my body?"

"We both feel the sexual tension between us, Tess."

"And what?"

"We should try this."

"Why would you like to sleep with me?"

"Because you are attractive and I want you."

"You would want me even if I'm still a virgin?"

"What?" He smiles. "You are a virgin?"

"Yeah, what's so bad in it?"

"You are virgin. And you're 22."

"And what, Hardin? I was waiting for the right man."

"And you find him?"

"Maybe."

"So, you want this?" He comes closer to me.

"As long as you want this too, yes."

"Now?" He is being serious?!

"No."

"Why not, as soon as we get rid away of your problem, it's better."

"You don't think that our food is burning?"

"Shit." He runs to the kitchen and I find this funny. He comes back a few moments later with a grumpy face. "We can eat some fruits..."

"Or we can just go to sleep." I stand up and I want to go upstairs.

"Or we can do something." He takes my hand and drags me close to him.

"Hardin..."

"What, Tess?" He looks deep into my eyes. "I've mentioned before that you have the most beautiful blue eyes?"

"I don't think so..."

"Well, it's true." He moves his hand on my back and I feel goosebumps all over my body. What is he doing with me? "Let's get rid away from this problem."

"I don't want this."

"Liar."

"I don't want this now, Hardin. I'm tired." I'm a liar.
