Love doesn't have to be hard

Chapter 12: Fun Night Out

She and Zed went to a nice restaurant. Zed was dressed in black skinny jeans and a blue button-down shirt with his black dress boots. He looked really hot. 

Tessa's dress was black with silver mesh down the front, and it was above her knees. It had tie straps at the shoulder and her black heels. 

They were seated, and he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She smiled at him, and she noticed he kept watching her across the table. 

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"I am not staring; I am gazing. I have to say that dress is breathtaking on you. All I can see is me removing that dress and watching it slowly slide down your body."

"Zed, we are in public."

"I didn't say I was going to do it here, babe. Please tell me we won't stay at the club all night. Because I don't know how long I can deal with this pain of wanting you."

"Oh, Zed, baby, you are really turning me on. No, we won't stay, but maybe an hour so we can return home, and I can ease that pain." 

"Okay, let's hurry up and order so we can get to the club and get back to your place." She laughed at him. "I love to hear your laugh; it always brightens my day. Eleven weeks, baby, that's it."

"I know I have a calendar and have been marking down the days until we are together. I can't wait."

The waiter came back to the table, and they ordered their food. They talked about the type of place they wanted to look for, and he told her about some apartments he had found when he had been looking online.

Their food came, and they ate dinner. Smiling at one another throughout their meal. Zed wanted to wait for a bit, but he knew he wanted to marry her before they graduated. 

They had left before Hardin arrived, and they wanted to get to the club, show their support, and then leave before Hardin had a chance to cause any trouble.

When they finished eating, Zed paid the bill, and they left. He opened her door and helped her in. Then he climbed in, and they drove to the club. It was already getting packed.  

She text Kimberly, "Hey we are here, where are you?"

"Come in, give them your name at the door, come to the stairs, and we are at the top of the stairs to your right. I already warned Hardin to behave, lol."

I laughed at that, "Okay, we are walking toward the door. See you in a minute." We walked to the door, I gave them my name, and we walked into the club. It had nice lights and a disco ball, and good music. We walked up the stairs and entered the room. 

There sat Kimberly in Christian's lap, a bald-headed guy, some skanky-looking older woman with a tight dress on, and Hardin.

Kimberly walked over and hugged me and Zed; she looked him up and down and winked. We walked over and sat next to them. She poured us a glass of champagne, and we toasted. After three glasses, I was ready to go dance.  

Zed only had one glass and a beer. I pulled him up, and Kimberly pulled Christian up, and we went to the dance floor.

Zed and I were dancing. He was behind me, dancing on me. It was sexy, very sexy. He leaned up, and I kissed him over my shoulder. 

I turned back around and threw my arm over his shoulder. He held my hip as we danced. He was smiling at me as we danced. 

We were having a good time and enjoying ourselves. I looked up, and there stood Hardin staring at us. He looked pissed, and I didn't even care. 

I needed a drink, so we left the dance floor and went to the bar. I sat on the stool, and Zed stood in between my legs, kissing my neck. I asked the bartender for a sex on the beach. Zed went to pay him, and Christian came over.
