Another Love (Hessa)

Part 29 - Together Again

Tessa

A few years later...

"Oh my God! You look amazing, Mia!" I say as I watch my friend in her wedding dress.

"This is it! This is the dress! Nate will adore it."

"Of course, he will." I say and I hug her. "You will be the most beautiful bride ever!"

"Thank you. And you will be the most beautiful bridesmaid."

"What do you know about him?"

"Nate talks with him every day and he's coming to the wedding."

"I will be okay. We can stay in the same place. I moved on and now, Robert is my present. And I'm really happy with him."

"I know." She smiles.

"Will you be mad at me if I leave now? I have to collect my friend, Emma, from the airport."

"It's okay. Thank you for coming with me today. My mother didn't find tickets and she couldn't fly here."

"Always. Love you. Talk to you soon."

"Bye girl!"

It's been four years since Hardin left and I'm good now. I was good after he left. I'm living my life to the fullest and I'm happy. That summer, my temporary job at Vance Publishing became a full-time job with time. I even was promoted last month as an editor, and I love what I'm doing. I graduate college and my diploma helped me to be promoted and now, I'm doing what I like: I'm creative and my ideas are always the best.

Love life... Well... I'm in a relationship with Robert for six months already and he makes me happy. He's really nice and he knows how to be with a woman and it's all I want from a man.

After Hardin left, I stayed with Mia. And we lived together until one year ago, when Nate asked her to move in with him. I am good friends with both of them and I really like their relationship. I was really happy when Mia called me in the middle of the night to announce me that Nate proposed her. And in just one week, they are going to be married. I wish I will be like them in the future.

Today, Emma is coming home and I asked her to stay with me while she's around. And I'm really happy to have her home, I missed my first bestie and I can't wait to gossip about everything.

I arrive at the airport and a few minutes later, I see my girl walking to me. I have a big smile on my face as I walk to hug her.

"Ugh! I missed you!"

"Me too."

"We have a lot to recover. It's been a while since we met."

"Yeah. Let's go home! I bet you are tired after the flight."

"Not so tired. But let's go."

We walk to my car and I drive to my apartment. As soon as we arrive, we change in something comfortable and I take out a bottle of white wine.

"For our long friendship!"

"Cheers!" 

"How are you?"

"Good. Really good."

"No, I mean how are you since he left... Do you miss him?"

"No. I'm good without him. Robert makes me happy."

"That's good. Hardin is single."

"Okay and?"

"And I know he's coming for Nate's wedding."

"I know. I'm good with that. I hope Robert will be able to come with me. But wait, how do you know all of this?"

"He came to LA last month and we went out. And we talked. He kept asking about you, but I just told him that you are fine. He still has feelings for you, Tessa."
