Another Love (Hessa)

Part 20 - Birthday Girl

Tessa

Today it's my birthday and Hardin takes me out for dinner. As we are together for a few months now and I know he is going to lose his patience with me soon, so after dinner I will give him what he wants: all of me. I bought a new lingerie, it's a simple black lingerie with a little bit of lace. I hope he will like it.

It's 7 pm and he should be here soon. I wear an ivory turtleneck knitted dress with under-knee boots. I go downstairs where I find my mother.

"Wow Tessa! You look so good!"

"Thanks, mom."

"Be careful, ok? I'm too young to have grandchildren now."

"Mom! Stop with this. It's embarrassing! And for your own peace, I didn't do anything with him. Yet."

"Oh, no?"

"Nope. And he will wait for me until I'm ready."

"Oh, what a good boyfriend..."

"Of course!" I smile and we hear a knock at the door. He is here. "I'm going to open the door." I go to the door and I open it. I'm greeted by a big bouquet of red roses. Oh, God. He is a gentleman.

Hardin: "Happy birthday, beautiful." He gives me the flowers.

Tessa: "Thank you." I smile and I kiss his cheek.

Hardin: "Good evening, Carol."

Carol: "Hi Hardin. Give me your flowers and you two can leave."

Tessa: "Ok." I give her my flowers and I go to put on my coat.

Carol: "Have fun!"

Hardin: "Thank you!"

He takes my hand and we leave my house. We go to his car and we get inside, but he doesn't start the car. He leans on and he kisses me.

"Happy birthday, love."

"Thank you." I smile.

"Shall we leave?"

"Yes."

After 20 minutes, Hardin parks the car in the front of the restaurant. We get inside and we go to our table. He helps me to take off my coat and then he helps me to sit down.

"You are a true gentleman today."

"You are my girl, this is how I wear around you."

"You are sweet." I smile and I rub his cheek.

Waiter: "Good evening! This is our menu. I will be back in a few minutes to take your order."

Hardin: "Thanks." The waiter leaves and we look in the menus. "What would you like to have?"

"Hmm, chicken alfredo pasta. What about you?"

"I think I will have a burger with fries. And what would you like to drink?"

"Just a lemonade."

"Good."

The waiter comes back and he takes our order. A few minutes later, he comes back with our drinks.

"And what are you doing for Christmas?"

"Just chilling at home. Me and my mother."

"You could come and have dinner with us."

"Dinner with you and your mother?"

"Yes. She is making a lot of food anyway, so you should come."

"I will talk with my mom and I will announce you in time, ok?"

"Sure."

"And on 30th of December, we will fly to LA."

"Yes."

"I can't wait to see Emma."

A few minutes later, our food is here and we start to eat. When we are done, the waiter takes out plates and he comes back with another two plates with cake. Oh, Hardin is so sweet. I think he ordered cake while I was at the toilet.

"How sweet of you..." I smile and I lean on to kiss him. "Thanks for making my day."

"I will always be here, baby."

We eat our cake, we talk for a while and then we leave.

"And now?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Can we go to your place and watch a movie?"

"Sure. Let's go!"

"Your mother is still in London?"

"Yep. She's coming on Tuesday."

"Ok. May I stay overnight?"

"Of course, baby."

We get inside his car and he drives to his place. When we arrive there, he parks the car in the garage, then he helps me to get out. He closes the garage door and we get inside the house. He takes off my coat and he put it on the hanger while I take off my boots.

"If you excuse me, I'm going to take a quick shower."

"It's ok. But can you give me something to get changed? This dress it's not that comfortable."

"Sure. Let me lock the door and we can go upstairs."

"Ok."

He locks the door and we walk upstairs, in his room. He gives me a t-shirt and some joggers.

"Thanks."

"I will be quick, ok?"

"Yes, I will be right here."

"If you want something to drink, there is white wine in the kitchen. Feel free to take anything you want."

"Thank you, babe."

I kiss him and he leaves. I quickly take off my dress and I change, leaving my underwear on. I want him to see it. I walk downstairs and I go in the kitchen. I find the wine and two glasses and I go to the living room, waiting for Hardin. I sit on the couch, I turn on the TV and I search a movie. I find one that seems to be interesting, but I don't start it. After 15 minutes, Hardin comes down the stairs. He wears a white t-shirt and joggers. He comes to sit next to me.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

"Ugh, Tess! You know I don't like watching this." He opens the win bottle and he pours wine in the glasses.

"Maybe you can make an effort and watch it with me? Pretty please?" I beg him with puppy eyes.

"I can't resist this face." He pecks my lips, then he gives me a glass. "Cheers. I wish you to live a thousand years from now, baby."

"Thank you." I smile.

I take a sip of my wine and I turn on the movie. He has his arm around my shoulder and I love feeling him next to me. At some point, Hardin got bored of the movie, so he finding more interesting my neck. He leaves wet kissed on my neck and collar bone. Ugh, he is the death of me.

"Hardiiin!"

"Yeah, babe?"

"We were watching a movie..."

"And we can stop it, so we can go upstairs."

"Upstairs?"

"Yeah. We can have fun."

It's Tessa's birthday and Hardin is taking her out. He's a true gentleman with his girl and Tessa really likes it.

They have dinner together and then, they go to his place.

A movie night? Nah! Too boring. Going upstairs to have fun? 🙈
