Chapter 14 - Surprise

"Can you stop looking so god damn beautiful? How am I supposed to get ready when all I wanna do is undress and take you to bed?" Taylor said, slapping Tessa on the ass, she was wearing a tight red dress and white high heels. 

"Dave needs us okay? We can go fucking around when he's in a bad place" she pointed at him "got it? fucking around? I'm so good with puns" she opened a big smile, giving him a quick kiss.

"You're just the funniest human on earth I mean, the best, the greatest" He pulled her by the waist, giving her a kiss on the neck.

"I know I am" she couldn't help to smile, amazed by the feeling of his hot mouth on her soft skin "ugh I can't believe we'll have to pretend not to be doing this" she tilted her head back, still sitting on his lap, her head fitting perfectly on his shoulder. 

"This could change you know" those words hit Tessa like a lightning, her heart racing and his breathing on her neck only making it worse "I can deal with a hateful Jordyn, it won't be anything new and it would be really good to kiss you whenever I want" she could feel his heart beating hard and fast, exceeding his rib-cage and pounding against her back, he tried his best to hide everything he was feeling physically, trying to only let it live on his mind, however he failed terribly at it, with his hand palms wet and shaky. 

"Are you serious?" she turned to face him, sitting on only one leg while staring deeply into his bright eyes "you shouldn't joke with such things".

"I'm not joking" he laughed, nervous.

"But I haven't met your kids yet, what if they hate me? What if they just want me dead because  they want their daddy and their mommy together?" she started to overthink "and what will Jordyn do to us? She'll for sure murder us, I mean, burn us to the ground and then hide our body and then kill dave too".

"Why would she kill Dave?" he giggled.

"Because he's like, my dad".

"now that just weird" he stroked her back "babe, just tell me what you want and I'll make it happen" his smile was genuine and full of love "I just want you to be happy you know that right? If you're happy I'm happy and damn I just love being with you".

"I love being with you too..." she took a deep breath, eyes closed, head tilted to the ceiling "and jesus you have no idea how much I want to be your girlfriend".

"Really?" his smile was so big, even though he was trying to hide the excitement, looking just like a kid with his first love. 

"yeah, but we'll just have to find out how to deal with...well...everything, if you're up to the task and wants me this bad so...".

"Of course I do you crazy girl" he bit her cheeks, joyfully "I'll talk to my ex wive on how I'll introduce you into the kids lives and then we talk to Dave and find out how to deal with Jordyn" he took a deep breath "I should ask you if you really want this because I'm a mess and I come with baggage big as fuck".

"yeah I know I suck it" he laughed so loud at her comment he thought for a moment he was going to pee "but jokes aside, I want you, all of you, all that comes with you and the rest...we'll just learn as we go".

"Promise?".

"I promise, baby" she just loved saying that.

"We'll have to wait to tell Jordyn because I don't want my birthday to be worse than last year, I just fucking hate birthdays" she fixed her dress.

"why don't you like birthdays anyway?" he said, focused on driving, trying not to look at her because one look was enough to distract him because damn she look smoking hot.

"I never had a good birthday, even when I was a kid you know so I just don't do them" Tessa gently caressed Taylor's leg "I just wanna be with you and eat stuff and pretend everything is fine".

"And it isn't?" he said, a bit confused.

"You're the only stable, good part of my life so, I'd like to ignore the rest of it" she took a deep breath "why is Dave throwing a party anyway".

"Ugh, I have no idea" Taylor was having a hard time hiding that the party Dave was throwing was actually a surprise birthday party for Tessa. The truth was he even helped preparing it, he had no idea Tessa hated birthdays that much, as a "good friend", now, a good boyfriend, he just wanted her to have the perfect birthday, having fun with friends, drinking and eating, pretending all her problems were gone. If Tessa allowed, Taylor would, without a doubt, pay all of her debt and help her follow a career she actually loves, he was good in encouraging people and he had great connections too. He knew it would all be much easier, for her and consequentially for him too, however, Tessa would never allow such a thing, at least that's what she said one thousand times.

"you sound shady...what is it?" she tried to read him, but nothing.

"you're delusional woman" he tried to joke, as he parked in front of the house.

"you're acting weird, not that you're not weird, but you're oh so weird right now" he helped her get off the car.

"I'm already saying I'm sorry and please don't kill me because we just made things official let's not ruin it with murder and jail okay?" he said while walking the stairs.

"why would I kill you? oh no, what did you do?" he started to open the door.

"not me, it was all Dave's idea".

"SUPRISE" everyone screamed from inside the house.

"oh fuck" she muttered in a low tone with a fake smile trying to look as charming as possible.
