    He wanted to know why Tessa was feeling down, and more importantly, he didn’t want her to


    misunderstand him.


    Kathleen knew what he was thinking, and she looked at Tessa with displeasure. “Scott, I was just being


    kind, and you’reining about that? I don’t care. You’re having dinner with me tonight! As an


    apology!”


    Tessa looked at them for a moment and left. Better give them some personal space.


    Scott wanted to stop her, but Kathleen wouldn’t let him go, so all he could do was watch as Tessa left


    the room


    Tessa went straight home after that. The weather was getting colder, and the nights got longer. The


    staircase was dimly lit, so she watched her steps carefully. Just when she was about to open her door,


    someone suddenly hugged her from behind. Shocked, she almost screamed, but then she noticed a


    familiar scent enveloping her. She asked in disbelief, “Nichs?”


    Nichs chuckled, and he whispered sexily, “Surprise.”


    Tessa didn’t know how to describe what she was feeling right now. It felt like a dream. She turned


    around and hugged him tightly, feeling the warmthing from him, drinking in his scent greedily. Only


    then did she feel that it was real. “What brings you here?”


    Nichs held the trembling Tessa, chuckling. “If I don’te soon, someone’s going to cry again.”


    Tessa froze up, and she thumped his chest yfully. “I’m not crying. You’re crying!” Her tear-streaked


    cheeks turned pink, looking just like a ripe peach waiting for someone to pluck.


    Nichs stared at her, his eyes filled with lust. “Aren’t you going to take me home?” he asked hoarsely.


    Oh yeah. We’ve been standing out here for a while.


    When they went inside, Nichs couldn’t hold his longing back anymore. He pinned her against the


    door and kissed her. Tessa paused for a moment, then she wrapped her arms around his neck and


    responded to his kiss. The house got hot and heavy a momentter, and they kissed all the way to the


    bedroom.


    A long whileter, the bed stopped rocking, and Tessa leaned against Nichs’ chestnguidly, the dim


    light illuminating her face. She would look up at him asionally, thinking that everything was still


    unreal.


    “What is it?” He looked down, a devilish smile curling his lips. He knew what she was thinking, but he


    wanted to tease her a bit.


    Tessa was drawn into his captivating smile. “This just feels so unreal.” She told him her honest


    thoughts, and he chuckled. Tessa snapped out of it, and her face burned up.


    Before she could realize what was happening, the world started to spin. Nichs inched closer, and


    she thought he was going to have another go. Immediately, she pushed him away. “Stop, stop!”


    Nichs got what she was saying, and he chuckled again. “I just wanted you to feel if I’m real enough,


    but you’re quite a bit of a pery, aren’t you?” He huddled closer and whispered thest part into her ear,


    his voice seductive.


    Tessa’s mind exploded, and her face turned even redder, which wasn’t supposed to be possible. Oh


    no. I misunderstood him, and he misunderstood me.
