My Other Half...

Chapter 56: New House

~Tessa~
Today Finn, Luna and I were moving into our new house. I was really sad because I was leaving the home I grew up in, but I was also really happy because I was starting fresh with my family.
"Tess?!" Finn yelled my name from upstairs.
"Yeah?!" I yelled back.
"Where's Luna's blanket?" He asked.
"It's in the car already!" I said.
"Oh, okay!" He finished.
"Luna!" I called to her.
"Coming!" She walked down the stairs and came over to me.
"Are you ready?" I asked her.
"Yeah..." she said solemnly.
"What's wrong?" I asked brushing her hair back.
"I'm just gonna miss this house. I'm gonna miss Nani and Ops, and I'm gonna miss Melanie, Brennan and Nelle," she said tearing up.
"I know baby, I'm gonna miss them all, too. But Nani said we can visit whenever we want," I said smiling at her to try and make her feel better. She just nodded and hugged my legs. I bent over and rubbed her back.
"It'll be okay, and now you get your own room!" She had been sharing with Melanie. Which Melanie was fine with and so was Luna but now she'll have her own space and so will Melanie.
"Tessa, wait!" Melanie came running down the stairs towards me.
I smiled at her. "Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"I wanna give this to you." She opened her hands and showed me her pet rock.
"What? No way, you keep him. I couldn't take him away from you."
When Melanie was 6 she found a rock at the beach and named it Spud. I'm pretty sure spud means potato but I didn't say anything. Then when we got home dad helped her glue some googly eyes on it. She thought it was hysterical and she wouldn't let anyone touch that rock. Ever. Not even mom or dad was allowed to touch it and especially not me.
"No, I want you to have it," she said.
"Mel..." I knew that rock was special to her. "That rock means a lot to you."
"Yeah, but you mean a lot more to me," she said trying not to cry. I gently took it from her and put it in my purse on the counter.
"Thank, Mel." I kissed her cheek and gave her a long hug.
"I'm gonna miss you so much," she sniffled.
"I'm gonna miss you so much, too." I was the one trying not to cry now. I was trying to stay strong for Luna.
"I love you so much," she said.
"I love you so much, too," I finished.
Then my mom came down.
"You guys ready?" She asked lightly.
"Yeah I think so," I said looking at Luna and letting go of Melanie.
"Brennan, Nelle! Come down here, Tessa's leaving!" They came bounding down the stairs.
Nelle came over to me.
"I'm gonna miss you, Tessa!" She said sadly.
"I'm gonna miss you, too!" I kissed her cheek and she hugged me.
Then I went over to Brennan.
"I'll miss you, too you little monster." I ruffled his hair a little.
"I'll miss you, too." He smiled.
My dad came down finally and looked at me.
"Hi..." I said to him.
"Hey..." he said back.
It was silent for a moment when he came over to me and hugged me closely. I hugged him back and started to cry a little.
"I love you and I'm gonna miss the hell out of you..." he said.
"I love you, too and I'm gonna miss the hell out of you, too." I giggled a little through my tears.
"Please be safe and call us when you get there."
"Okay, I will," I said.
Then I went over to my mom.
She looked at me for a moment as tears filled her eyes.
"I love you so much," she said crying. I started to sob then.
"I love you so much, too," I went into her arms as she wrapped me up tightly and kissed my head.
"I miss you already," she said.
"I miss you, too, Mommy..." I said.
"Please do call us when you get there."
"I will don't worry," I said.
Finn said goodbye to everyone and then everyone said goodbye to Luna. Then we left.
The drive was about an hour and a half. I stared out the window and cried a little bit.
"Aww, Tess..." Finn reached over and grabbed my hand gently.
"It's just hard, I've lived there my whole life..." I said through my tears.
"I know, I understand," he said.
"I just wish I could be little again and snuggle with my mom all day and listen to my dad sing me to sleep."
"I know, it's really hard. But we're gonna have so much fun, and we'll visit them whenever you want. They can also come to us if they want. We'll make sure that you're with them a lot," he said trying to console me.
"Thanks, Finn."
"Of course," he finished.
I turned around to look at Luna who was fast asleep in her car seat.
"She's out," I said to Finn.
"Yeah, she was really tired this morning."
"Why?" I asked.
"She was up all night for some reason," he said.
"She's probably getting sick."
"Hopefully not," he said.
I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up, we were there.
"We're here," Finn said.
I sat up and took a second to wake up.
"Are you okay?" Finn asked me.
"Yeah! I fell asleep," I said.
"Oh, okay, good."
"Luna...it's time to wake up. We're here," I said turning around to look at her again.
She whined and groaned.
"C'mon." I reached back and tickled one of her bare feet. She must've taken her shoes off before she fell asleep.
"C'mon, Lu. Let's get up." She was not gonna get up anytime soon so I brought her inside and laid her on her bed and then covered her up. I kissed her head and shut her door a little.
"She's completely passed out," I said to Finn as he brought some stuff in.
"You might be right then, I'll check her temp when she wakes up," he said.
"Okay." I smiled at him and then he looked at me for a moment. "What?" I chuckled.
"You're so gorgeous," he said to me. I could feel my cheeks get hot.
"Thank you..." I giggled trying not to show that I was flustered.
"Your cheeks are red," he said grinning at me.
"Stoppp ittt!" I said covering my face with my hands.
He moved my hands and pulled me closer by my waist.
"I love you," he said still grinning as my cheeks got even redder.
"I love you, too." I kept giggling.
"I love your laugh," he said.
"You can thank my mom for that one," I said.
"I could probably thank your mom for everything about you but I'm thanking you."
"Well, you're welcome." I giggled again.
"Can I have a kiss, please?" He asked.
I nodded and giggled as I leaned in. My lips met his and I giggled even more. I don't know why I was so giggly. He smiled into the kiss.
"What's so funny?" He asked against my lips between kisses.
I pulled away for a second.
"I don't know," I said still giggling.
"You're overtired. I think that's the problem," he chuckled.
"I'm emotionally confused right now."
"That, too," he said.
We finally got me calmed down and then we finished bringing all the boxes in.
"I'm too tired to unpack them all today," I said truthfully.
"That's okay. I am, too."
"I'm gonna go call my mom," I said.
"Okay, good idea," he said.
I called the house phone. My mom picked up.
"Hey, baby, made it there safely?" She asked.
"Yes! Safe and all in one piece. We're gonna unpack tomorrow, we're too tired," I said.
"Yeah, I understand. How's Luna adjusting?" She asked.
"She's sound asleep, I think she's getting a cold."
"Aww, that's too bad. Well take her temp later if she wakes up," she proposed.
"Yeah, Finn said he'd do that later."
"Are we still going to lunch on Saturday?" She asked me hopefully.
"Yes of course!" I said happily.
"Great! Well, it's getting late and I have to make dinner so I'll talk to you Saturday morning. Text me to remind me in case I don't remember," she said.
"Okay," I chuckled. "I will."
"I love you so much," she said.
"I love you so much, too. Goodnight!" I said.
"Goodnight." She echoed and we hung up.
~Later That Night~
Finn and I decided to unpack anyway since we knew we weren't gonna wanna do it tomorrow. We thought we'd get it out of the way while we could.
"That's the last of it," he said.
"Finally, I smell like burnt Cheetos."
"Nice reference," he chuckled.
"Thanks!" I said.
"Wanna grab a shower then?" He raised one eyebrow.
I raised both of mine and looked him.
"What if Luna wakes up?" I asked him.
"She won't, she's definitely asleep for the night," he said confidently.
"How are you so sure?" I asked.
"Because while you were unpacking, I took her temperature and she had a fever. So, I gave her some cold medicine and she fell right back asleep."
"Oh, well then in that case, yes. I'd love to grab a shower," I smirked at him.
"Alright, ladies first." He gestured towards the bathroom door. I went in and started up the shower as I undressed.
The steam collected on the glass door so I got in. The water ran over me and it felt so good and relaxing.
I heard the bathroom door open and close and then the shower door. I turned around to look at him and he smiled at me.
"Hey," he said.
"Hi," I giggled.
"Back to the giggling?" He asked me.
"No, you're just cute," I said.
"And you're hot."
"Finn..." I got flustered again.
"What, it's true. I don't wanna lie," he said innocently.
"Well, thank you," I said.
"You're welcome, now c'mere," he said. He pulled me in by my waist like he always did and kissed me gently. I kissed him back and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I felt his hand run down my back and onto my butt as he gripped it softly. Then he slowly started kissing my jawline, my neck, shoulder, collarbone, and then my neck again. He sucked on it definitely leaving a mark. I hummed a little at the feeling of his teeth grazing my pulse point. Then he kissed down my neck and onto my collarbone again. He sucked on it leaving another mark. Part of me wanted to stop him but the other part of me didn't care. I just didn't want Luna seeing and wondering what was on my neck. I was planning on seeing my mom in two days for lunch with Luna, so hopefully, she wouldn't see, maybe I could wear a turtleneck or something.
He all of the sudden lifted me up so I wrapped my legs around his waist. He walked over to the other side of the shower and pressed me up against the cold glass. He lowered his head and sucked on one of my breasts. He was so gentle and it felt really good.
"Mmm, that feels good," I said.
He continued sucking on it and then he kissed down my stomach and back up to my lips. He used one of his hands to reach down and make slow circles on my clit. I gasped a little when he did this. A sharp inhale.
"Are you okay?" He asked suddenly worried.
"Mhm, you just surprised me," I said with my lips against his.
"Sorry," he chuckled as he continued.
He applied more pressure as a moan escaped from my throat.
"Finn..." I said low. I wanted him inside me. I also wanted another child. I think he did, too because we had been talking about it for a while.
"Yeah?" He said against my lips this time.
"Please, just fuck me," I said hungrily. He lifted me slightly, entered me, and then lowered me onto him more.
"Mmmmm," I moaned as he slid into me. He started making slow grinds into me as he grabbed one of my breasts and massaged it a little. Then he leaned down and sucked on it again. He sucked on the top of it leaving yet another mark. Then he moved faster inside of me causing me to let out a long moan.
"Uhhhh," I kissed him deeply then. I let my tongue glide into his mouth as he sucked on it a little and teased it with his own.
He moaned as I suddenly buckled my hips forward giving him a deeper angle. I moaned as well as he finally hit my g-spot. He applied pressure and ground into me.
"Mmm, yes....please don't stop..." I practically begged him to keep going.
"Mmm," he moaned a little in sync with me.
I felt my body start to get hot as my heartbeat sped up a bit. I was close.
"I'm close," I said weakly against his lips.
"Let it go, cum..." he growled.
I moaned again as he used his fingers again to tease my clit.
"Mmmm, uhhhh!" I moaned loudly and my back arched while my toes curled as I came. I felt him release inside me as well as he moaned. He thrust a few more times and allowed me to ride out my orgasm before gently pulling out. I was catching my breath as he sucked on my neck in a different spot leaving one more mark.
"Are you trying to have my daughter and my mom question me?" I giggled.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"The hickeys."
"Oh, no," he chuckled.
"Lies, you know what you're doing," I said.
"Maybe. But not so they question you. It's like a souvenir," he said.
"Wow, I'm so lucky," I teased. He gently set me down.
"Can I wash your hair?" He asked.
"You wanna wash my hair?" I asked chuckling a little.
"Mhm, I do," he said.
"Okay, go for it."
He took the shampoo and worked it through my hair. Then he guided me backward under the shower head and washed it out for me. Then he took the conditioner and put it through the ends of my hair and rinsed it out.
"There," He said proudly.
"Thank you," I giggled.
"You're welcome."
"My turn!" I said excitedly.
"Ugh, fineeee," he whined.
"Don't worry, princess. I won't mess it up," I teased.
He smirked and closed his eyes as I put the shampoo in. Then I put the conditioner in after rinsing out the shampoo and then rinsed it out.
He washed up and then got out. After he left I washed my body and then got out, too.
"Here," he had a towel open for me when I got out. He wrapped it around me and pulled me into his arms. I put my head on his shoulder and shivered a little.
"Are you cold?" He asked me.
"Yeah, a little," I said.
He wrapped me up tighter and kissed my head.
"Better?" He asked.
"Yeah, that's better." I smiled to myself.
I was so lucky to find Finn. He was so sweet and supportive and understanding. He never judged me and he accepted me for who I was entirely. He was polite and patient and thoughtful. He was perfect. Inside and out.
"I love you so much," I said out of nowhere.
"Oh, I love you so much, too," he chuckled. "That was random."
"I know, I just was thinking about how lucky I am to have you."
"Aw, that's sweet. I'm lucky to have you, too," he said to me smiling.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Yes, definitely."
I looked up at him and then kissed him quickly.
"I'm gonna go get dressed." I smiled.
"Okay," he said smiling back at me.
I went inside our room and got dressed. I put on a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt. It had my high school name on it. NYH.
Then Finn came in and got dressed. I left the room while he changed to go check on Luna. I opened the door slowly and quietly and she was still sound asleep. I was glad.
I closed her door but left it a crack open.
I went back into our room and he was laying in bed already.
"She's still asleep," I said crawling in with him.
"That's good," he said tiredly.
"Yeah, are you ready to sleep?" I asked chuckling at him.
"Oh yeah, I'm wiped out."
"Me, too." I pulled the covers over us as he wrapped me up in his arms.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you, too. Goodnight," I kissed him and then fell asleep.
