Years and Years (Hessa) - part 1

Tessa

Ten years... Who thought that ten years will pass so easly? High-school was a beautiful period in my life. As a normal teenager, I lived everything. First love, first kiss, first boy in my life, first night of love, first time when I was heartbroken, first time when I cried for a boy, first time when I felt in love with him... And even if he knew how much I loved him, he decided to leave. But now I'm happy. I'm really happy after him. I'm a fulfilled woman and I have everything I need.

Today I'm going to see him after ten years. I am nervous about this meeting? I really am. Why? Because he was smy first love. And I think your first love remains in your heart for the rest of your life. Even if we are both involved in another relationships, I'm curious if we are still attracted by the other.

I put my earrings and I look at myself. I look good. I hear a slight knock at the door and a few moment later, Robert comes in.

"Tessa, you are absolutely stunning."

"Thank you, Robert." I smile and I turn to him. This red dress is fitting perfectly on my body.

"I'm really sorry that I can't come with you."

"It's fine, don't worry. Remember, business first." I kiss his cheek. "In addition, I think we can have a dinner with my friends."

"Sounds great!"

I put on my shoes, I take my bag and I'm ready to go.

"Have fun, Tessa."

"Thank you." I kiss him and I leave our apartment.

Me and Robert are together for two years now and he is sweet and kind with me. It's all I could want after him.

I arrive at my car and I get inside, then I drive to the high-school where I will have my reunion. I'm excited to see my high school friends and to know what they did in the last 10 years.

After a short ride, I park the car and I walk to the entrance. I start to smilr when I hear the music. It's what we were listening ten years ago. I get inside and I try to spot Jessica and Victoria. When I finally see them, I walk to them, but on my way, someone grabs my hand.

"Hi, Tess." I hear his strong voice and I turn to him. Jesus, I never thought that after 10 years, he still has a big impact on me. Fuck. He is as handsome as I remember. Shit, Tessa. Move on. You have Robert and he makes you happy.

"Hardin! Hello!" I hug him.

"It's been a long time since our last meeting."

"Yeah... Ten years."

"How are you?"

"I'm good. What about you?"

"Me too. I'm a writer."

"I know. I have all your books and you did a really great job."

"Thank you. I suppose you are my no. 1 fan? As you promised me a few years ago?"

"Kind of." I smile.

"And you? What are you doing?"

"I'm teaching English for students."

"That's great. But I thought you had other plans. Remember when we were planning on having our publishing?"

"Yeah, that was just a teenage dream. Now, I'm happy with what I'm doing."

"Yeah..."

"Now, excuse me. I have to find Jess and Vic."

"See you later!"
