Liam's POV
As I watch the building swallow her, I adjust my weight behind the tree. I look around every now and then to see if anyone is watching me lurk awkwardly.
*flashback*
Although the weather is all sad and cloudy,I planned to go jogging from early morning because I don't have courses on Saturday. Plus, Tessa was still asleep when I woke up and I couldn't take her not talking to me anymore. It was hard enough not to wake her up to hear her voice knowing she's free today. So instead of freshening up and relaxing, I ended up thinking and overthinking the whole thing. I found myself jogging in a familiar area. I shook my head to finally realize I'm wandering near their ex apartment.
My thoughts started fueling and my need for a drink was ignited only to be dismissed the moment I saw her car pull by the side of the road. Before I know it, I'm sneaking peeks from behind a tree. She seemed hesitant at first as she stood in front of her car, in her dark outfit, not doing anything. Then, she started taking baby steps and eventually disappeared into the building.
*End of flashback*
I don't know what came up to my mind so that I follow her. Well I probably do. Tessa and I haven't talked a word, even a complete sentence to each other for almost a week. At first I thought it was because of our busy schedules and her work. But then, I noticed that she didn't have coffee with me in the mornings and she locked up in her room straight when she came back home. She even looked thinner than she already is.
I, on the contrary, am getting fat. It's partly because I am stressed but also because of drinking. I freaking don't know why I'm stressed. I've been ignoring my homework lately and I grew nervous, being evoked by the slightest of things. I can't even explain why I'm drinking. I've drank for four or five times this week. I can't even remember.
The moment she entered the building I felt disappointment crawling under my fingertips. I was outrageous and melancholic. My hands fell loose as if they were detached from my body. I knew what she's feeling, what she's going through. I wanted to run to her and hug her so bad, and tell her that I am here for her. But I'm not Harry. She only needs that goddam Harry. Only him. it's got to be Harry. I don't know why she's still hanging on him. All he's done is hurt her all the way through.
As I am overthinking and getting enraged over my own thought, the girl wearing black jeans and a grey sweater appears before me. I rub my eyes to check if I'm not just hallucinating.
Tessa ran out of the building, her phone in her hand and the other one in flying behind her. Barely breathing, she leaned her head on her arm on top of the car, facing the floor. Dark smudged tears began to rain and low sobs follow. I could still her whimpers even though it was drizzling now. Her phone started ringing, but she just ignored it. She didn't even lift her head to see who it was. Her sobs rise again and I feel a thorn ball forming in my throat. She was hurting. She is in so much pain. I know it. Tessa does not normally pull her hair in a messy bun and dress like this. I need to do something
Her hands clench into fists and she starts pounding on the roof and her cries are now louder.
This is it. This is my chance. I should make my appearance now, she needs me now more than ever. She will be relieved to see me despite the fact that she was feeling uneasy around me lately. She will run into my arms and I will hug her and tell her that she will be okay.
God help me.
I make a step forward and start dragging my feet towards her. On the exact same moment, a figure appears, running from the building towards her. I find myself again behind the fucking tree.
Why does he have to always come for her rescue? He does not deserve her. This hysterical state is all his fault.
-"Tessa?" Harry asks in an astonished tone, and loud enough that I was able to hear him.
The moment she hears his voice, she lifts her head, and look at him as if she is seeing an alien. He has a soft expression on his face and I could tell he is debating whether to take her in his arms her or not. He'd better not.
She surprises both of us when she jumps into his arms and begins to cry frantically. The freak was standing there, his arms still by his sides not doing anything. It was only after few seconds that he processed the whole situation and hugged her tightly.
I wanted to shout, to go and tell her that she's been doing the same mistake over and over, that what she's doing is not the right thing. But instead here I am, watching from behind. As usual
I should be the one hugging her.
Small drops of snow start falling from above, resting on their hairs and shoulders, making the whole situation more romantic.
Perfect!
My blood is boiling and I feel temper getting the best of me. But then again, it's her life. She decides with who she wants to be. Doesn't she?
Their bodies peel off each other, he mumbled something in her ear, held her hand and began walking into the building.
I can love her more than this! This doesn't feel right.
Goddamit!
Harry's POV
Tessa's clothes were soaked, just like her eyes were swollen. I watch her with corner of my eye standing awkwardly in the hallway as I go to my closet and choose some warm clothes. When I give them to her, she snatches them greedily from me. I giggle and tell her to go take a hot shower..
Minutes feel like freaking hours before Tessa came out of the bathroom. I was going back and forth in the living room, thinking of what to say. Goddamit, this girl has a bad timing. A week ago she was so cold hearted towards me and she asked me to never come near her. Yet, this time, she is the one who did so.
I was lighting the fireplace when I heard slippers moving on the floor. When I turn to face her, my eyes rake up and down her body, involuntarily. She looked..sexy as usual. The white shirt I gave her and the cape she is wearing drove me crazy. Thank God she is wearing pants.
Trying to ignore my perverted thoughts, I pat on the sofa next to me and cover her with a warm blanket when she obeys. I could tell she is relaxed, I could hear her heartbeat next to mine for the first time in what seems like ages. She rests head on my shoulder and I hug her back. It feels heavenly, once again.
I still don't believe it. Tessa and I are in our apartment, in the living room, she's wearing my clothes and we're hugging.
-"I.." She attempted to speak after few seconds of comfortable silence.
-"Shhhh. Relax Tessa. We'll talk later." I push her head back on my shoulder and close my eyes, living the momentarily bliss which I don't know how much longer will last.
-"Harry?" She says in a demanding fading voice. "Take me to bed, I'm sleepy" . She caught me off guard. I don't know how many minutes have passed. I kind of drifted to a light sleep because I was so relaxed with her being by my side.
She hugs my neck and I lift her between my arms and go to the bedroom.
Aren't you going to fuck her?
My inner asshole spoke for itself after shutting up for so long.
When I lay her on the bed, her eyes are closed and her breath tickled my bare skin. She looks like an angel, hugging her hands to her chest and bearing a smile on her face, her mouth partly open.
Damn.
No. I'm not that type of person. I won't do it. It'll only piss her off. I'm grateful enough that she's here. I don't need to fucking ruin another chance. Maybe she will talk to me later when she wakes up. Maybe we will sort things out like we always do. I push all the messed up shit that gathered in my head away.
I cover her securely with blankets and watch her sleep for a while. I can't help but plant a light kiss on her forehead before deciding to leave the room to sleep in the living room
-"Harry" She whispers with her dulcet voice. My knees tremble and I swear my heart skips a beat. "Where are you going?"
Her voice is soft and pleading for me to come next to her. But I don't want to rush things..
I drag my feet to the bed and she turned to the other side facing me. She extends her hand and lifts her weight on one hand. I take her hand and stand there helpless.
What the fuck is happening to me?
She pushes the blanket, stands up and connects her cherry lips to mine. The feeling is extravagant, heavenly. I can't get enough of it.
Swiftly, I run my hand through her neck and kiss her back, tasting the thing I've been craving for. Her legs wrap around my waist and my hands automatically move up and down her spine.
Kissing her neck made her moan which was my favorite thing and when she moaned my name, I take it as my cue to act.
I drop her on bed and lay on top of her, sensing every area that my body can touch.
It never gets boring. Doesn't it? Fuck she's got me craving for every inch of her body. She's so hot.
She extends her hand downward and starts drawing circles on my chest then lowers it to where my pants are. My eyes widen and I look at her in the eye as if asking her for permission.
-"I want to...". She says before closing the distance between out mouths and before pulling my waist to hers.
I pull away just to get rid of my shirt and then connect our bodies again.
Fucking hell yeah.
