I smiled again, this time I noticed Nick looking across the table in my direction. His gaze was intense, there was something about it. It was intense, intimidating, sensual, but charming all at the same time. Stop it Tessa. Said my subconscious. You two couldn't even bare to be in the same room with one another a few weeks ago. Stop you do not find him attractive. I kept thinking that telling myself this would help me...but it didn't. He moved his index finger along the rim of his glass, I every so often would catch his bright green- gray eyes look in my direction. I looked down at my hands which were cupped together in my lap. Stop it Tess! "I'll help you clear the plates." His mother said to his father, after we ate. They both stood up and took the plates into the kitchen. Leaving me alone with him. Crap.

As I feel her touch I can't help but smile and relax. I felt calmer now as I move slightly and turn around to face her. She looks up at me and I lace my arms around her body so our bodies are pressed against each others. "I love you." I say. She looks at me surprised and then smiles. "I love you too.", "I don't think that I say it enough." She touches my cheek and then lowers her hand again. "Well...each time you say it to me is special." I grin and kiss her. Months have passed since Tessa Erickson and Nicolai Piercy have met. Since then...they got engaged but when many surprises come their way it changes things for the couple.

I put everything away and head outside. "Hey." Tess gives me a smile as I smile back and kiss her gently. Then I kiss Ava on the top of the head and sit down in a chair across from them. "How was it out?" She asks. I rub the back of my neck and nod. "It was alright." I shrug. She gives me a look and sets down her phone. "What's going on?" "It's nothing, I just don't feel too good." I lie as I look down at the ground and Jackson, one of our dogs comes up to me. I scratch him behind his ear as I feel Tessa's gaze still on me. "What aren't you telling me?" She asks. I sigh and look at her. "Tess, I would tell you if something was wrong. I'm fine." I clear my throat and Ava jumps off Tess' lap and comes over to me. I pick Ava up and set her on my lap as she lays her head on my shoulder. "Fine. I'm going to go make dinner." She says and gets up as she heads inside and shuts the patio door. Ava yawns and I rub her back and sigh again as I watch Tessa walk off. I had no idea how to bring this information up to her. ~*~ You've been along for the ride that is the hectic life of Tessa and Nick.
