*the next morning
I woke up in pain due to the scar that Alex gave me when she slapped me. I get up quickly and get ready. I don't want to get makeup on the scar so I did everything around
it even though it looked bad. I go downstairs wondering where Chance's parents were. I hear footsteps coming down so I say " Mrs. Sutton?"Chance: why would they be here? They don't live here
I looked at him and quickly turned away hoping he wouldn't notice my cheek. Too late though, he was walking over to me and held my face to get a closer look at my cheek.
Chance: what the hell happened
Tessa: " nothing" I muttered and turned away but he held my hand
Tessa: "get your hand off me" I scowled and he quickly let go..
I make myself some breakfast and Chance just sits there staring at me. I'm about to say something until his phone rings and he gets up to go get it. A few minutes later he said, "my friend Anthony is coming and then we have a party to attend to later in the evening." I gave him a quick nod and he left. Around 15 minutes later I heard the doorbell sound. I thought Chance was gonna get it but he must be getting ready. I get up and open the door only to see a charming brown haired man with hazel eyes looking at me.
Anthony: Hi
Tessa: hi are you Anthony?
Anthony: yes but you can call me Tony
Tessa: and you can call me Tessa
Anthony: [chuckles] well, is Chance here
Tessa: he must be getting ready but want to watch some TV with me
Tony: ya
I lead him into the TV room where Riverdale was playing. We both sat next to each other watching the show until he starts talking
Tony: So I never asked, who exactly are you?
Tessa: I'm Tessa and I'm not exactly sure what I am. I think fiance would be appropriate but I think Chance will tell you everything.
Tony: fiance? No way! Chance would never settle down
Tessa: haha just a little touch of force
Anthony and I are cracking jokes and laughing until Chance walks in to the house and sees what's happening
Chance: [just a touch of anger] Hey Tony
Tony: [gets up] hey man how ya doing
Chance: good how bout you
Tony: I'm great but you're getting married [points to Tessa]
Chance: yes I am
Tessa: okay well nice meeting you guys I'm heading out
Chance: whoa where do you think you're going
Tessa: outside you know the real world?
Chance: no you're not go get ready for the party and cover up whatever's on your cheek
Tessa: "maybe it wouldn't be there if your stupid slut wasn't a jealous bitch" I said forgetting that Tony was still there
I leave him there with his mouth open and I walk upstairs getting ready and I'm gonna make sure he knows what he's missing out on. After 2 hours of getting ready I put this dress on and covered up the scar.
I put slight curls in my hair and put stilettos on and walked downstairs where Chance was waiting.
Tessa: how much more time do we have
Chance doesn't even answer he just stares at me with his mouth open. Mission accomplished. I walk a little seductively towards him and sit in his lap facing him
Tessa: "Chance I asked you a question"
Chance just puts his hands around my waist and grips it.
Chance: the party isn't till 7
Tessa: its 6 though why'd you make me get ready
Chance: its our engagement party
Now it was my turn to stare at him with my mouth open in shock. It was already happening? Why so fast
Tessa: already?
Chance: yes the Paul's and Costellers are planning on striking so we must do this quickly. The wedding will be in a month..
Tessa: I don't even know the first thing about you! What happens if people start asking questions..
Chance: that's why we're here an hour early ready for the party
I get off his lap and sit next to him.
Chance: first piece of info about me
Tessa: um ok
Chance: birthday is September 2, 1996
Tessa: okay mines is Ap-
Chance: April 5, 1997
Tessa: how'd you know that
Chance: I know everything about you. Don't worry you just need to know stuff about me
And for the next 45 minutes I knew stuff about Chance. Apparently he hated getting his feet touched. We we're just about to leave until Chance stopped me
Chance: I know you hate me but we have to act like we're in love
Tessa: okay do you want to make this interesting?
Chance: how so?
Tessa: lets bet who can act the most in love
Chance: I'm down. What's the prize
Tessa: you get that person for a whole day to do whatever you want to do
Chance: okay deal
