When We Collided

Chapter 9

Will's POV

I watched as Tessa got into her aunt's car, and drove away. She had looked so beautiful tonight, that I had almost told her. I walked back to the living room, where Cecily, Jace, and my parents sat. Uncle Stephen, and aunt Celine had gone home. Jace had decided to stay the night.

I took a seat, and thought about Tessa again. She had looked so damn hot coming undone underneath me, that I had almost taken her innocence right then. Not yet, though, I thought. Then at the dinner table, I had almost dragged her up to my room. There was something about her that I couldn't get enough of. She wasn't like anyone I had ever met.

"Will?" I heard my mother say.

"Yeah?" I snapped out of my trance.

"Are you and Tessa dating?" She grinned.

An image of her half naked flashed in my head. "No, we aren't."

"Oh, well it seemed like it." She said.

I tried to hide my smirk. If only they knew what we were really doing. We all talked for about half an hour, and then my parents and Cecily all went to bed. Only Jace and I sat in the living room. As soon as they were out of sight, his head snapped towards me.

"Okay, spill. What's actually going on between you and Tessa?" He raised an eyebrow.

"We're friends with benefits." I remarked casually.

His eyes went wide. "What? She agreed to that?"

"Yeah." I said smugly.

He leaned back, and smirked at me. "So, have you...?"

"No, not yet." I said. "But we will."

Jace whistled. "I think you like her."

I was taken aback. "What?"

"You have crush on her." He smirked.

"No I don't." I said defensively, not liking how my palms were suddenly sweating.

"Yeah, you do. I always catch you staring at her, and don't say it's because you think she's hot. It's deeper than that." He said.

I was silent for a moment. "I don't like her, Jace. Anyways, you like Clary."

He stood up. "Yeah, I do. But at least I can admit it."

He then walked upstairs, leaving me sitting alone. Was what he said true? Could I have feelings for Tessa? She was beautiful, and funny, and nice.....I bolted up. No, no, no, I couldn't like her. Love wasn't my thing, not since... 

I quickly shook off the thought. No I didn't like Tessa,

Right?

Tessa's POV

Clary and I sat in my bedroom in our pyjamas, that night. She ended up sleeping over, and we were sprawled out on my bed. I couldn't get Will out of my head. I kept feeling his hands on me, and I shivered at the thought of his lips on my neck.

"It was fun tonight." Clary stated.

"It was." I said amusedly.
