Kiss Me?

Chapter 19

Tessa walked up stairs. Her stomach was growling after an hour of playing video games. She felt like going somewhere, but she didn't know where. She had no friends.

Music played in the living room, moving through the house. Her uncle played the music of his bands fequently, his favorites seemed to be One Direction. Or maybe it was just that fact he knew tessa and the boys were close now. Harry's voice filled her hears as she hummed along to 'midnight memories.' A smile came a crossed her face as Niall did his scream like sound. She imagined him doing that at one of his concerts.

Tessa opened the fridge, looking for something to eat. She wasn't sure what she felt like eating. Simon suddenly showed up behind the fridge door, closing it in front of her. She jumped back, causing him to laugh.

"Lauren an I were wondering if you wanted to go to diner with us." Simon smiled, slightly scared that she would decline.

"No thanks, uncle Simon. I'd rather not be the third wheel." She smiled, re-opening the fridge.

"Well at least your not the under grown fourth wheel." Simon looked down to the baby in his left arm. Tessa laughed.

"Seriously I'm fine. I'll even watch the baby for you." Tessa smiles as she takes Eric from his arms.

"As great as that sounds, your coming with us. Besides, I don't trust you with my kid." Simon jokes.

Tessa's face falls. She really wasn't in the mood for jokes like that. After lying to Niall this morning she felt like she shouldn't be trusted. She wouldn't be surprised if he really didn't trust her with his son.

"I'm joking, Tessa." Simon says as he notices her expression. Tessa gulps. "Tessa please come with us."

Tessa walks up to the fancy restaurant with her arm hooked with her uncles. Simons other hand held Lauren's as she carried the baby's car seat.

Tessa looked down to her red dress. It was tighter around her hips and thighs. It stopped at the knee and was sleeveless. Simon had given her the dress right after he invited her. She wear her black lace stockings and pumps that Lauren got her for her birthday. On her wrist was the charm bracelet that the boys had given her. Her hair was up in an elegant messy bun.

Simon told the receptionist their reservations as the lady led them to a table in the back. They were practically hidden from everyone. After ordering Simon excused himself to use the bathroom. Tessa reached into her bra, pulling out her phone.

"Elegant." Lauren states, watching the girl pull her phone out of her bra.

"Had to put my phone somewhere." Tessa stated. Lauren chuckles, taking a sip of her white wine.

They sat in a booth. Lauren sat with the baby's car seat next to her as Tessa sat against the wall, Simon next to her. Lauren sat in front of her boyfriend when he returned from the bathroom.

Tessa paid no attention to their conversation as she texted the boys. Louis just kept making comments about her being in love with a leprechaun. She had guessed that Niall didn't say anything about her being with Someone. She felt guilt in her chest. She hated lying to Niall.

She really didn't text the other boys. Just Louis and Niall. The only one that she texted at the moment was Niall. He seemed okay at the moment.

Out with uncle Simon and Lauren. -Tess

Niall smiled at his screen. At least she didn't say she was out with Taylor. He had her named saved as 'Tess' in his phone. He also had a heart next to it. He had to admit he was like a little school girl crushing on someone. But he didn't care, he was in love with her. What hurt him most was knowing she didn't feel the same way. He promised himself that he wouldn't embarrass himself by admitting to her that he loved her when he knew she didn't have those feelings for him. He swore that he would try his best to be happy for her and Taylor.
