Tess' POV:
'So what do you want for breakfast?' I asked him
'I'm game for anything' he smiled
I grinned and jumped on my Vespa, waiting for Tom to get on the back but he just stood there. I arched an eyebrow.
'Can I drive it?' He asked 'Please?'
I thought for a minute before throwing him the keys and scooting back so he could get to the front. Once we got going he was actually a pretty good driver, he wasn't too confident weaving in and out of traffic but that was probably only due to the fact he wasn't a New Yorker.
With me directing him which way to go we arrived at my apartment block at around 7:50. He pulled up neatly to the sidewalk and jumped off before taking my hand and helping off- like I needed help. We walked into the lobby and the owner smiled at me
'Morning Tessa' he grinned at me and sent a smile to Tom. Once we got to the elevator Tom spun me around to face him
'Why does he get to call you Tessa, but you kicked off when I did?' he frowned.
'I dunno, I don't like being called it but there's no telling Max what to do' I shrugged
He pouted before sighing.
'Can I call you Tessie?' he asked
'Call me what you want as long as it's not Tessa'
'Why do you hate Tessa so much?' he questioned
I looked up at him before answering
'It's what my parents used to call me' I whispered. His smile immediately dropped and sorrow filled his eyes.
'Sorry' he started, but I cut him off
'It's fine don't worry, how where you to know?'
I picked up his hand and played with it until we reached the top floor. We stepped out the elevator and I unlocked the door before holding it open for him. He murmured a thank you before walking in.
'What do you want me to make?'
'Surprise me' he said with a wink 'Can I look at more of your art?' I nodded and pointed to a doorway which led to my studio. As Tom went to look at more of my drawings, I began pulling things out fridge, today I was making a fry up. I put the sausage and bacon in the oven to grill and called out to him
'Scrambled or fried eggs?' I called out, please say fried I wished in my head
'Fried is great thanks' he shouted from my studio, I grinned to myself and put some eggs in a pan to fry after around ten minutes I had finished everything and made a pot of coffee as well as a pot of tea. I placed everything on my living room and walked to the studio to get him. Gently tapping him on the shoulder I brushed my lips against his before telling him all was ready. He picked up my hands in his and we padded to the living room. His jaw dropped.
Tom's POV:
When we came around the corner I did not expect to see all this food. We sat down and I immediately started piling up my plate. I tried my first bite and it was gorgeous. Everything this girl does is utter perfection.
'Tea or Coffee' she asked
'Tea please, I don't want to end up throwing it over you again' I smirked 'This is all so gorgeous, remind me to come here again' I said with a wink, causing her to blush. Her smile soon dropped though, she shoved her chair back and sprinted down the hall. I raced after her but the door was locked.
'Tess? Tessie? Are you okay love?' I heard the sound of retching and her throwing up.
'Don't come in Tom, I don't want you to see me like this.' She groaned
'Please let me in, I can look after you' I pleaded.
'Go home I don't want you to catch my bug' she moaned
'But I want to stay' I said childishly
'Just leave Tom' she muttered. Oh maybe she doesn't like me. I frowned before grabbing my coat and walking out the door. I grabbed a taxi back to the hotel and wondered why this girl caused me to feel so many emotions at once. I sat for hours waiting for her to call me but the call never came for her to say could I come and look after her. I decided to ring her. Putting my phone to my ear I waited for her to answer.
'Hello?' She croaked
'Hey it's T-' I began but was cut off when I heard another guys voice on her end of the call
'Tessie come back to bed' the male voice said
My head shot up and I froze, is she with another man? I hung up not knowing what to say. I jumped out my seat and ran down to the road, jumping in a cab straight to her apartment. I ran up the stairs not waiting for the elevator, and knocked rapidly on her door.
She answered the door dressed in a mans top that came to her mid thigh and her lips where all swollen. I barged past her and into her bedroom where I saw a man laying there who looked strangely familiar.
'Heyyy, you must be Tom' he said smirking at me
'Who the hell are you' I snarled
'Jake' he said looking confused
'Have you touched her?!' I demanded
'Touched who? Tessie?' He answered
'Who else?!' I snapped
He began laughing his head off
'What are you laughing at' I barked, and at this point Tess walked through the door.
'He thinks I touched you' he managed to say between laughs. Tess began to laugh uncontrollably too.
'Tell me what you're laughing at' I demanded
'He's gay' Tess spluttered and laughed even more. I stormed out the bedroom and began walking towards her front door, embarrassed with myself, I was just about to open the door when Tess' hands wrapped around my wrist, spinning me around.
'Tom wait, I can see why you're mad and what it must've looked like but Jake is harmless honest, he came round like he does every Saturday after he finishes in the coffee shop. He gave me his T-Shirt because I'd been sick on mine. You should've asked me what was going on.' She murmured
'Sorry for jumping to conclusions' I whispered
'Why did it hurt you so much?' She asked
'It killed me to see you with another guy even if you're not really with him, I like you a lot Tessie.' I said sheepishly
'I like you a lot too' she whispered. my head shot up.
'Really?' I asked
'Really' she smiled
'I know we're moving very fast, much faster than I usually do in a relationship, but Tessie will you go out with me?' I pleaded
She gaped at me before quickly rearranging her face into a smile 'I'd love to' she breathed
A grin spread across my face as I wrapped my arms round her waist and brushed my lips against her delicate ones, she bit my bottom lip and pulled it down; that was so hot I thought to myself. I kissed her along her jawline and she moaned to herself.
A cough broke us apart, it was Jake.
'Listen mate I'm really sorry about before, I don't normally act like that, I don't know what came over me' I apologised
'Don't sweat it' he said 'I'll see you around Tessie' and he pulled her into a hug and walked out the door. As soon as the door was shut Tess jumped on me and started kissing me, I pulled her legs up around my waist and she wrapped them there, putting her arms around my neck she played with the ends of my hair as I kissed her along her jawline and neck. Her back arched as she moaned and I walked with her on my chest to the couch I lay down with her on top of me and pulled her into my chest after spinning around, she rubbed her back against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her waist.
'How are you feeling?' I asked politely
'Better know you're here' she murmured 'Sorry I told you to get out, I just didn't want you to see me like that' she mumbled
'It's okay love' I whispered into her ear. After a while of lying on the couch her breathing went soft and her eyes closed.. she was fast asleep. Her asleep gave me some time I think. What was I doing? I've never felt this way about someone before, especially someone so young and innocent, but I couldn't help myself. Tess made me feel complete and I never wanted to let her go. I was drained after today and I soon fell asleep too.
