2 hours before he said I love you

Hardin's Pov
Tessa Young.
I have never felt this way about someone like i do Tessa.
She makes me want to be a better person, she genuinely cares about me, I dont know exactly how she feels about me, but i do know that i would do anything for her.

Do i love her?
Im not one to throw around that word like its meaningless.
I know how i feel when im around her, I feel tingly inside, and nervous that ill say the wrong thing. I know my favorite thing to do with her though is laugh. Her laugh is something else, It has become my favorite thing in the whole world.
I know that i dont want to lose her.

She said that she wants to go out today, and she invited her mum.
I know she's devastated about this whole situation, she tells me that even though her and her mom have never really had much of a relationship, she doesn't want to see her suffer, and she knows her mum regrets how she used to treat her.
I just feel awful for both of them, i cant imagine my mum slowly forgetting me. and I cant imagine slowly forgetting my kid.

T: come on
She grabs my hand after stuffing the eggs on her plate in her mouth

She grabs two black dresses from her closet asking for my opinion
I go with the second one although i would love to see her in the other one another time
She strips from her shirt leaving her in her lace bra and underwear

I feel my mouth slightly open as i watch her movments as she slips the dress over her head, and im slightly turned on

She finishes getting ready and we stop by my house so i can change

I walk out of my house and she hops out of the car and i look at her in confusion

T: i wanna drive

what?

H: no, not happening
T: come on pleease
she begs and her puppy dog eyes make me give in, shes to damn cute
H: fine, just please be careful

as we're driving I look over at her admiring how sexy she looks driving my car

We talk about nonsense for about 30 mins
T: we're here she parks and pulls the keys out of the ignition
I look out the window to see a big projector screen and a few cars here and there
H: wow
T: i remember you talking about how much you liked classic films
I smile
H: this is perfect Lost boys is one of my favorite films
I grab her hand and kiss it
and i thought it was impossible to like her even more than i already do

We lay on the hood of my car and shes sucked into the movie already.
and i admire her reactions to the first 25 minutes into the movie.

I sit here and think about my feelings and how they could affect everything.

fuck it.

you miss 100% of the shots you dont take.

I suddenly grow very anxious and i slide my hand to hers and intertwine our fingers
She looks at me and smiles that perfect smile that i fall for every time.
I lean in to kiss her and she closes the space between us and grabs my neck running her fingers through my hair

We pull away
H: Tessa, I love you

Her eyes widen and i feel my heart in my chest
T: Hardin, we've only been together for almost 2 months, how can you already love me?

I dont really know what to say
H: do you love me?
I need to know if she feels the same

she sits up and it looks like shes really thinking about it i can see her mouth form a tiny smile before its gone
