Tessa Pov

After the talk with Asher I drove up to my grandparents house and when I got there, no one was their, thankfully.
When I got inside, I decide to head up to my grandpas study.

Why is it so creepy in here? I walk over to his desk and check the file cabinets to see if I can find anything

Why is it so creepy in here?
I walk over to his desk and check the file cabinets to see if I can find anything.
Nothing.
I go up to the binders on the shelf
Nothing.
Suddenly I hear the front door open and close and hear someone walking towards the office. I quickly close the cabinet and but the binders back and sit in one of the chairs.
"Tessa, I wasn't expecting you here. What are you doing here?" he says happily and greeting me with a hug.
"I uh was trying to look for some papers for dad but I couldn't find them, must not be here" I say trying to not sound guilty
"Oh alright, while you're here, I wanted to talk to you."
"Oh okay, what's up?" I say questionably
"I'm sorry I was being quite rude to you the day of the charity event and when you asked me about the Ryan's, I just don't like them very much."
Oh we know.
"It's fine and I get it."
"I just don't want you hanging around that Asher boy, heard he's trouble."
"Yeah, Yeah of course. It was a one time thing."
It's a one time thing right?
"Good" he says
We end up saying our goodbyes and I went home and talked to Stella about what happened.
"YOU GUYS ARE WORKING TOGETHER?!?!" stella says screaming into the phone.
"Wow what a way to make me deaf."
"Sorry it's just that 5 minutes ago you were saying you hate his guts and now you're secretly working together." she says
"hey well we still hate each other, that hasn't changed and we just want to get to the bottom of all this."
"Why though, can't things just be left in. the past?" Stella says
"Yeah but why should we suffer just because they had a fight" I say
"Does this have something to do with Asher, and you wanna end this feud so you can be with him Tessa?" Stella says with excitement rising in her voice.
"No, No what theory is that. I just want to be civil, that's all."
"Right,right" Stella says
We end up talking for another hour and I end up watching netflix for the rest of the night and falling asleep.
