~ Tessa's POV ~

"YOO I'M HOMEEE!" I heard a familiar voice yell from the front door. Quinton! 

I ran out of my room and jumped on Quin, "Oomph!" He exhaled hugging me back. "Hey stupid!" He smiled, "Hey poop head." I ruffled his hair.

I jumped down and attacked Cynthia, "Eeeeee!" We squealed, "Hey, babes!" We jumped up and down, while hugging.

"Hey Cynthia!" I screamed, "It's been a while, what have you kids been up to?" I asked them as if I was their mother.

"Nothing much, just visited back home." Quinton told me, "Lovely!", "Well I have to get going, i'll talk to y'all later." I told them. "For sure, bye Tess!" Cynthia exclaimed.

I went back into my room to change and grab my purse.

I changed into a light was jean along with a flowy floral green tie up shirt.

I grabbed my purse and left the house.

* * *

I arrived at Connor's house to hang out, he said he had something planned.

I rung the door bell and held the strap of my purse waiting for him to open the door, "Hey Ess, come in." He opened the door further to let me in.

"Hey C." I greeted in return, I plopped on his couch and got comfortable, "What do you have planned today?" I asked him, swinging my legs onto the couch to lay down.

"Wellll I want to go to the beach and maybe teach you how to surf?", "Yo i'm so down!" I told him honestly, "Alright cool, i'll drive you home to get a swimsuit?" He cocked a brow.

"Well yes. I'm not going naked." He blushed and chuckled, "Let's go then."

* * *

We arrived at the beach, there were some pretty substantial waves. And for once the beach wasn't busy.

I wore a black swimsuit. Under the wetsuit Connor provided.

"Ready to catch some waves?" Connor asked, "Alright Mr. Boss man lead the way."

* * *

We spent hours out on the water, I kinda had the hang of it. "You did surprisingly good." Connor shrugged, "Wow so, you thought I wasn't gonna knock your socks off?","I'm not wearing socks." He clarified.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Come on cranky let's get you something to eat." He chuckled, "That'd be greatly appreciated." I scowled, my stomach growled as well. Perfect timing causing us to laugh.

* * *

"You're so dumb." Is what I said to Connor after he had fallen down the few steps into the sand of the beach.

"Uncalled for! Help me." He demanded, I laughed before putting the food down to grab his arm. We had gotten tacos from a cart, a few shops away.

He stood up hastily trying to brush all the sand off himself.

I helped him a bit by whacking his back and stomach.

"Ow ow! No need to be aggressive Ess." He exclaimed, "It's not my fault you're clumsy." I rolled my eyes picking up the food again, he picked up the towels and we walked over to a spot.

"Whatever." He muttered under his breath.

He laid out the towel so we could have a seat. The sun would be setting soon. We sat down on the towel and began eating.

I looked over and noticed Connor staring at me. "What are you looking at?!?!" I said with a mouthful of taco. He shook his head and smiled.

"What!" I shoved him over, "Ay chill!" He laughed bringing himself to sit up again.

"Stop staring, it's creepy." I pointed out. "You're cute." He told me, "Thanks, I know." I told him in a 'duh' tone.

"Scratch that you're beautiful, sexy, hot, gorgeous, all of the above." He named a bunch of names you call women.

"Thanks?" I said with a questionable tone.

"My god, I think I love you." I looked at him with wide eyes, "You wha?" I put my taco down for this one. "I fucking love you Tessa.", "W-where is this coming from?" I asked.

"My heart?" He said. I blinked trying to confirm this is not my reality right now. "You don't have to feel the same way, I just... wanted to tell you." He looked away knowingly.

"Hey stupid look at me." I grabbed his face so he could look me in the eyes, "You are one, really great best friend, I have to admit that I don't feel the same way, but that doesn't mean you aren't an amazing person. Don't forgot that." I lectured him, it brought a smile to his face.

"This is why I love you, you deserve the world." He brought me into a hug, to which I reciprocated.

* * *

"Thanks for today it was super fun!" I thanked him, "Yeah, i'll see you later Ess." He waved good-bye before going into his home.

I got into my car and made my way to the hype house.

I pulled into the crowded street and parallel parked in between two cars. I came up to the gate and waited for Tayler to come open it.

"Hey princess." He greeted as he opened the door, "Hey you." I replied as we went inside.
