Not For Me | A Temilio Fanfiction

Cali In The Nightlife

Emilio POV:

I never showed love, or attraction, towards Tessa. I showed friendship. We have always been friends. And I never questioned that. When she had her kiss with Chance, was that actually jealously of him getting Tessa, or was that jealousy of him having someone in general. I've only had one girlfriend, and it was when I was little. It wasn't nothing. Maybe I just want someone. I don't want Tessa, I just want someone.

Tessa POV:

I wake up to a bang, I decide to investigate, so you know, if it's Jake trying to prank me I'll bust him in his tracks. I look out the door, nothing. I walk out the room and search the house, I find Erica in the kitchen. "What?! Oh did you hear- I dropped the pans." "Yeah." I laughed, and ran my hands through my hair. "I thought it was Jake, up to his schemes again." I grab a glass of water and head back to bed. "Wait!" Erica calls out I turn around.

"While you're here, wanna talk about that kiss with Chance?"  "It was nothing." "Didn't look like nothing." "But it was." I say calmly leaning against the counter. "Emilio didn't seem to think it was." "What?" She catches me off guard. "Why do you think Emilio ran?" "I don't know." I say quietly looking to the floor.

"I don't know what y'all's two deal is," She starts, "But you need to get it figured out. The people are shipping Chessa." "There is no Chessa." I say calmly looking her in the eye, begging her to believe me. "Well, then the people need to know that. You can't play both worlds." She grabs a bag of chips and pats me on the shoulder as she leaves the room. But I'm stuck still in my place.

Emilio POV:

I can't sleep. Who can? I twist in my bed then decide to open a window. I look out at the stars. All I can think about is Tessa. I don't know why. If I want to get these feelings figured out, I need to find out how I truly feel about Tessa. I grab my bag and leave my room and bump into Tessa. She has wild look on her face like she's confused, shocked, happy, but distraught. "You okay?" I ask putting my hand on her arm. "Yeah, yeah." She shakes it off. I could tell she had a lot on her mind, I wonder if she was thinking of me as much as I was thinking of her.

"Come with me." I say smiling, she looks confused. "Where are we going." "I don't know." Holding my bag and her wrist we walk outside. It's chilly, she's only in shorts and a sweatshirt. I quickly jump in the Team 10 van, as does she, and I drive off. We head up a mountain. Beautiful view. I stop the car, and reach behind me and grab a blanket I throw it to Tessa and get out the car.

We're both standing in front of the van, looking at the stars, buildings, lights, and people. "California's always prettier at night." She says. "Yeah." I agree and pull her in." We're both hugging with the blanket around us. Yeah, my feelings are figured out.
