Tessa's POV
I wake up to my mom banging on the door
T.M: Tessa! wake up! actually do something productive today.
I let out a sigh and roll my eyes. I love my mom but im sick of hearing her nagging me all the time. I try so hard to pull my weight around here and its never good enough.
I get out of bed and head to the bathroom down the hall and take a quick shower. Im so glad I shaved last night, now I dont have to worry about it this morning.
I brush my teeth and hair and go to my room to get dressed and throw my hair up ⬇️

after i get dressed i put my chain wallet on and grab my car keys
T.M: where do you think you're going
T: im going to get something to eat
T.M: i really wish you would dress more appropriately considering people know your my daughter
T: i know you do mom
I just walk out im really not trying to argue with her.
I drive to McDonald's and get an iced black coffee and a bacon egg and cheese mc muffin and cruise for awhile listening to music
I could have this meal for the rest of my life.
I decide to go to the mall because i have coupons for Victoria's secret underwear and bath and body works

I walk around the mall and straight to bath and body works first. I look through all of their lotions and perfumes and candles. I ended up getting rose scented lotion and a lavender candle for my room. Next stop is Victoria's Secret

I walk through the store admiring all the lingerie that i wish i could afford. I make my way over to the thongs and my eye catches this sexy black piece with a bra that matches i check for the right size for the underwear and decide to go to the changing room to try the bra on
Im looking at myself in the mirror and admire the skimp bra. I tear the tag off of it and put my shirt on.

I check out all of my shit and walk out of the store

Im now wondering around the mall bored out of my mind. I just dont want to return home where i know my mother is going to scold me for my purchases today. Shes just mainly pissed off that im 18 and she cant tell me what i spend my money that I work for on.

I check my phone and notice that its already 6pm damn.. where does the time go. I grab my keys and walk out into the parking lot. I notice this guy watching me as i look for my car hes starting to creep me out, if only i could remember where i parked my car. He starts approaching me and i slightly grow nervous

??: Hey I saw you from over there and was wondering if you wanted to grab a drink with me
T: umm im sorry but i really should be getting home
??: oh come on just one drink. on me
T: i really shouldnt
he grabs my arm before i could even begin to turn around
??: please just one
T: i already told you no. dont fucking touch me you prick
I can tell my words really pissed him of because his grip got tighter on my wrist
??: now listen here you slut-
??: there you are babe ive been looking everywhere for you whos this?
This tall boy with very dark brown hair and an attractive British accent approached me and wrapped his arm around me.
T: um.. i dont know but they wont leave me alone.
I give him a thankful look and play along
The sketch man lets go of my wrist finally and just walks away. I sigh in relief
T: thank you so much. I dont know how i could ever repay you
??: dont worry about it. im sorry you had to go through that. My names Hardin
T: Tessa
we shake hands
H: well Tessa would you like me to walk you to your car?
T: i would like that very much thank you for being really sweet
H: my mother raised me to be a gentleman
T: i see that
I smile at him
We approach my car and i accidentally dropped my bags and everything fell out
T: oh shit
I crouch down and start picking up my lotion and candle. i look up to see Hardin grabbing my underwear and putting it back in the Victoria's Secret bag. holy fucking shit thats so embarrassing my face turns red as we both stand up
T: *clears throat* thank you so much i really appreciate what you did here today
H: like i said its not a problem
He eyes the pink bag that holds my new underwear
H: maybe ill see you around Tessa
T: do you want my number?
Why tf would you ask that omg tessa your so stupid
H: sure!
Nevermind tessa you a confident badass
T: hand me your phone
He hands me his phone and i put my contact name as Tess🌹
T: there ya go
H: cool ill text you later
T: alright thanks again for everything catch ya later Hardin
H: no problem catch you later Tessa

I hop in my car and let an excited squeal out. ive never done that before in my life im so proud of myself for keeping my chill.

I pull into my drive way and my mind flashes back to that man grabbing my wrist. I just cant help but wonder what could of happened if Hardin wasnt there

I hop out of my car and head into the house
T.M: You better have an explanation as to why you've been gone all day
T: um i can do what i want?
T.M: you are so ungrateful. it amazes me the amount of disrespect i get from you im your mother not one of your little friends
T: i dont treat you like my friends mom. how was i even being disrespectful im 18 and i can go out for the day if i want to
T.M: whats in those bags
She grips the bags out of my hand and starts going through them
T: and im the disrespectful one
T.M: shut up
She grabs the underwear out of the pink bag and scolds me
T.M: i did not raise a slut! how could you purchase these?
Damn im a little hurt by her words, but its whatever i guess
T: im not a kid anymore mom, get off of my back gosh damn
T.M: watch your language or ill-
T: or you'll what hurt me? kick me out? you wouldnt want to be known as the mom who kicked her child out we all know how much your reputation is to you
I grab the bags and head down the hallway and into my room. I slam and lock my door behind me and plop down on my bed
*bzz* *bzz*
unknown number
