Pain and Love

A Date Night

Tessa:

The evening,

We had dinner together and now Hardin is in the shower whilst I'm sitting on the sofa watching Friends.

I was at the bit where Chandler and Rachel are on their knees eating cheesecake from the floor when my phone goes off. I look down at my phone to see Molly's name appear and I answer.

We say hey and catch up on what's been going on the past few days with uni and my work, then we get onto the conversation of relationships.

"So how is it going with Hardin?" Molly asks

"We are great, he has been super protective of me lately due to my mum appearing which is so sweet of him. It has been great to see him around his family and relations lately, surprisingly he is very good around kids"

"Who knew Hardin Scott could be such a protective and softy" she says and we both laugh

"What about you and Tristan?" I ask after we finish laughing

"He is great, I really like him, we have been staying over at my flat a lot lately. But we haven't made anything like official yet." she tells me

"Well I'm really glad everything is going well between you two he seems a great guy"

"You've got to meet him Tessa I want to get your opinion on him" she says and we laugh

"I would love to meet him" I say

"There is a frat house party on Thursday we could go to?" she questions

"That sounds great but I'll check with Hardin because he is going away on the Friday night"

"Yeah that's fine"

"We could also have dinner here at our apartment beforehand and you guys can even stay over after the party if you fancy?" I asks Molly

"That all sounds great, we will have a great time" she says

"It will be like a date night" I say

"Yep double date kinda thing" Molly replies

We chatted for a bit more but then Molly had to go so we ended the call. A few minutes later Hardin walked into the kitchen. He only had joggers on and his hair was still damp from his shower so I had quite a view to look at.

"Hey baby" he says to me and sits next to me

"Hey baby"

Hardin puts his arms around my shoulder and I lean my head down on his shoulder which he then kisses the top of my head.

"Molly called me" I say to him

"Cool, what did you two chat about?"

"Well she was telling me about Tristan and how they are doing and she wants me to meet him. So we thought that they could come for dinner after uni then there is a party at the frat house we can go to and then they can stay here afterwards. What do you think?"

"Mmmm sure" he says and I look up to him

"Really?"

"Yeah we can enjoy ourselves before I leave for the weekend on Friday afternoon" hes and looks down to me

"You sure though because I wouldn't want you to be tired before going away on the Friday"

"Nah I'll be fine since I don't drink so it won't be like I'll be hungover" he says

"Okay if your sure"

"Yes I am Tess, we will have a great night baby" he says to me then leans down and gives me a gentle kiss on the lips
