Tessa

We both walked out and Leah grabbed the first taxi that was packed in front of us. She waved and drove off my eyes lingered on her car until she was out of view.

I scoffed and grabbed the next taxi giving the driver the home address since Mom was still at the hospital, I could just catch a quick sleep at home.

The driver started driving, I rested my head in the mirror side my mind wandering around but the sudden sound of my phone startled me and I flung up surprising the driver but he kept quiet.

I held my chest bringing out my phone with the aim to curse the person but it turned out to be my mum calling. I hissed inwardly before sliding the green button.

"Hey sweetie, change of plans," she said immediately I picked up and I frowned my brows at what she meant by that. "I have to go to work," she revealed taking me by surprise.

"Why? Didn't you submit a leave form?" I asked angrily.

"Yes, I did, but my boss needs me, I'm also not expecting this, I don't know why he specializ

    TessaMy eyes were wide and I couldn't comprehend the scene unfolding in front of me right now. Mr. Carter was staring at me with a sly smile crept on his lips. "Did I have an eye problem?" I contemplate, running my palm on my eyes but it was still the same. I woke myself up, It wasn't like I wasn't expecting him to wake or something but it was too sudden to feel real. I mean? "Mr. Carter!" I finally exclaimed accepting the scene in front of me, astonishment etched on my face, my eyes wide with joy.I rushed toward him, my feet moving swiftly, a smile spreading across my face. He smiled weakly, his eyes sparkling, warmth radiating from his gaze.I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug, relief washing over me. "I'm so glad you're awake!" I exclaimed, my voice trembling with tears.Mr. Carter's frail arms enveloped me, his face still pale, but a hint of color had returned."Easy, Tessa don't choke me," he whispered, his voice low and soothing.I released him, concern flooding in

    TessaThe next day, the doctor informed us that Mr. Carter would be discharged that day, yesterday evening. Mom had gone home to prepare dinner, leaving me alone with Mr. Carter. If not for the doctor's presence, I knew what Mr. Carter would have done.After the doctor finished his check-up, he assured us that we could leave within the next three hours, as Mr. Carter had fully recovered. He left, and I turned to Mr. Carter on the bed, our gazes aligned.I had missed him so much, but I knew I wasn't in the best position to act on it, considering it could ruin my mum's health and relationship with him.He gestured for me to sit on the bed, and I did. He dragged me closer by the waist, his mouth pressed against my skin, his breath filling my body, making me shiver."I miss you," he murmured, sucking on my ear, and my body became tender, my vision blurring.His hand roamed over my body, sending waves of sensation as he gently cupped my breast, snatching a gasp from me."I miss your nippl

    TessaThe sudden footstep echoing made me flinch as I pushed Mr. Carter away, my heart racing repeatedly. I walked to sit on the couch, while his eyes followed me in astonishment.Immediately I sat, the door slid open, and my mum stepped in, she was kind of surprised to meet us inside the house."You guys are back?" She asked, dropping the bag of things she had went to purchase.She walked toward Mr. Carter and held his cheeks, checking through them as if that would give her enough time to make up for what she had missed seeing when he was lying in the hospital bed."Are you feeling weak anywhere? Do you feel any discomfort?" She rushed her questions with a worried face.Mr. Carter shook his head, held her waist, and I didn't know when I bit my lower lip. How could he hold her like that? I slapped myself out of the thought. Had I forgotten the man belonged to my mum in the first place?I watched them talk to each other, a wave of anger boiling over me. I folded my fists together, not

    TessaMy eyes became wide open as my tongue lost words to say. Mr. Carter swallowed hard before standing up and flashing mum a bitter smile.The most scary part was the knife mum was holding, as if she would slash us if we dared lie to her."What did you mean by your question? Isn't it a normal thing to do? Especially when she just came back from the hospital and I heard from her conversation that she's going to tutor a colleague? Don't you think it necessary to bathe?" He played it cool.Mum's gaze took a second before softening, and she nodded twice."True, you should take your bath," she gestured toward my room and walked back to the kitchen.I held my heart, which was bumping out. I'd seen many people lie, but Mr. Carter seemed different. He seemed to know how to lie naturally, all words coming from his lips sounded truthful.I knew he had told me to bathe because of our encounter at the hospital earlier, but seeing him lie about it made me smile.He smirked naughtily at me before

    TessaI wiped my eyes with the back of my palm, wondering if I was seeing things, but no, I wasn't. Mr. Grumpy stood right there, staring at me with a strange glare, his hand supporting his waist."What are you doing here?" The question fell from my lips before I realized I wasn't in my own house."I should be asking you those questions. What are you doing in my house?" His voice was sharp, like he would punch me in the face."Your house," I swallowed hard, feeling the emptiness down my throat, and he took a step closer to me."You heard me right. What are you doing in my house?" His eyes pierced into my soul.I tried standing up, but my legs were weak, and I couldn't even lift my body up."You seem like a bold person in the hospital, but now?" He knelt closer to me. His hand reached for the tip of my hair when I yanked him away and stood up.He seemed shocked, releasing a heavy pant as he stood up. I swallowed hard, staring around the room in a daze, unsure what to do.I felt like di

    TessaFear caught my breath as Leah's curious gaze shifted between me and Mr. Grumpy, waiting for an explanation. "What's going on?" She asked, this time around her voice was sharp, and her brow furrowed in confusion."Nothing out of the ordinary, Just a coincidence. Don't worry about it." Mr. Grumpy's expression softened a little bit, and he flashed a reassuring smile."Okay, if you're sure..." her eyes lingered on me for a moment before nodding. I exhaled silently, relieved that she didn't press the issue further. But my body was still trembling from the intense encounter with Mr. Grumpy."And one more thing," Mr. Grumpy suddenly shifted his eyes to me, his voice was low and firm. "Don't call me Mr. Grumpy again, this will be my last warning, there won't be next," his voice dropped with coldness. "Oh!O ...Okay." My eyes widened, and I nodded hastily. "Mr. Grumpy?" Leah chuckled on her breath. "It's not funny, is it?" Mr. Grumpy's eyes narrowed. But Leah continued to laugh. "

    TessaLeah walked back and we stepped into the shopping mall even though the shock was still on me the view of the mall took my breath and I couldn't help but gasp. The interior was breathtaking, with radiant lights, glittering jewelry stores, and rows of upscale clothing boutiques. Everywhere I looked, something new and exciting caught my eye."I'm so happy to be here!" Leah exclaimed, drawing the attention of the passersby."You're being dramatic," Liam, rolled his eyes. Leah chuckled and nudged me playfully. "Let's go explore!" she exclaimed one more dragging me by force.I don't feel good coming here. We stepped into the clothing store, and Liam fell back, allowing Leah to lead the way. I lingered behind, hesitating to move forward."Why did I agree to come here?" I muttered under my breath. "If I'd known Mr. Grumpy was Leah's brother, I wouldn't have..." My thoughts trailed off as Liam's piercing gaze met mine. Had he heard me?I quickly fastened my pace, following Leah into

    TessaAfter we were done with shopping, we headed to a fancy restaurant near the mall to grab a bite. The food was mouthwatering, and we savored each bite.As we ate, Leah shared stories about Liam's past, mentioning his brother. Liam's expression remained stoic, his face a mask of indifference. He didn't interrupt or react, letting Leah continue her speeches.Once we finished our meal, Liam settled the bills and we stepped outside the restaurant.As we drove home, Liam played music, filling the car with a lively vibe. But I sat lost in thought, my mind racing with nothing but worries.What did Liam want from me? What did he mean by his statement earlier? How would he use my secret against me? Hope he's not going to ask for what I don't have. I'd not let him reveal the secret, not when it could harm Mom's relationship and health."Bruh you are going to drop me at home, I have something to pick then you will take us back to the junction, we are going to the library" Leah uttered "Yo

    Tessa"I would like to talk to both of you girls." Her words rang in my head again. Neither I nor Jasmine could say a word; we both looked shocked that she would call us together to talk to us."The thing is that I want you both to act as sisters and be each other best friends." Mom released the bombshell.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at Mom surprised by what she had just said. I couldn't believe it. Mom wanted Jasmine and me to act like sisters. The idea felt strange and almost impossible. I looked at Jasmine, and I could see she was just as shocked. We both stood there, unsure of what to say next.Mom smiled at us, her eyes shining with hope. "I just think it would be wonderful for you two to be close. You'll have each other's backs, just like sisters do." She sounded so convinced, but I felt a knot tightening in my stomach.Jasmine, always quick to speak her mind, laughed sharply. "Over my dead body would I be a sister or best friend to Tessa!" Her voice was filled with sarc

    TessaMy heart beat repeatedly, not knowing what to do. What if Liam really tells Carter about our relationship? How will he react? My mind was racing with worst-case scenarios.My fingers flew across the keyboard as I pleaded with Liam desperately."Please don't tell him anything, I promise to do whatever you want when you're back, please" I typed and sent. My fingers sucked on my lips as I waited anxiously for his reply.Even though I knew Mr. Carter had heard about my relationship with Liam, he had never met him in person. My eyes glued to the phone, waiting for his response. Only God knew why it took minutes for him to reply; I just hoped he hadn't told Carter yet.Maybe I should message him again? I thought, but just as I was about to type another message, his reply popped in."If you want that, you have to seal your lips and make sure you don't tell Leah about our relationship, or else you will face my wrath" his message read. A relieved sigh escaped my lips.I wanted to reply,

    TessaI was lying down gently on the bed when I suddenly heard the creak of the door. It was Mum, walking inside the room. I'm still awkward around her because of the scene I witnessed last time; I don't want to talk to her."Daughter," she called, stepping inside the room, "Can you get me some groceries to prepare dinner at the nearest store?" She asked, but I didn't give her a reply."I'm asking you a question," she stated after a long quiet moment between us."You can go by yourself; I'm not in the mood to step out," I replied without looking at her. I knew she'd be surprised."Are you saying no to me now?" she asked, and that made me feel bad for a second."I don't mean it that way; I just want to be alone," I replied, not giving her my attention."That's the same as saying no to me, Tessa," she said, her voice cold, making me feel more bad for saying no to her, she have way of manipulating me."You have your way of gaslighting people," I stood up from the bed, walking toward her.

    TessaI didn't see Carter at all that morning. It was like he had vanished into thin air. I felt a strange mix of relief and disappointment. Part of me was grateful for the space, but I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling in my chest.I could not help but wonder if he decided to stay away from me because of what happened the previous night. Could he have decided he was tired of my attitude, or could he still be angry at seeing me in a club nearly taken out by a guy other than him? Or could he be mad that I went off to sleep as soon as we got home and after the make-out in his car? I didn't even spare him a chance to talk to me about Mom's incident; I just locked him off and slept.Even when I got to school, there were no traces of him; it was as if his presence somehow got cloaked out, and he suddenly became invisible to my eyes; I didn't see him anywhere around the school.I found Leah chatting with some friends. As I approached her, she noticed me and broke into a smile. "Hey, T

    TessaI managed to eat a little after he left my room, but it felt like a chore like when being forced to do a whole lot of laundry. Afterward, I locked my room and lay on my bed, crying silently into my pillow. I felt so lost and confused, and the tears wouldn't stop; they kept on steaming down my cheeks, cascading down and even staining the pillow.The next morning, I woke up feeling heavy and tired. I couldn't face Carter or anyone else, so I slipped out of the house early without saying a word. I didn't want to deal with the awkwardness, the hurt, or the guilt. I needed space.School dragged on. I tried to focus on my classes, but my mind kept drifting back to the night before. Carter's words echoed in my head: "You're important to me." It felt comforting but also made the ache in my chest worse.After school, I spotted Leah in the parking lot. "Hey, want to go to a party?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement."Sure," I said, hoping it would help me forget everything, at

    CarterI stepped away from Mila just in time to see Tessa walk in. Her eyes flicked between me and her mother, and I could tell she was pretending everything was fine. But I knew better; Tessa was putting on a brave face. She was more than hurt in seeing me kiss her mother."Hey, Tessa," I said, trying to sound casual.She didn't respond. Instead, she grabbed some food from the counter and walked past me, her shoulders tense. I felt a knot form in my stomach. I hadn't meant for any of this to happen. It was supposed to be a simple evening, but everything felt off now. I was not expecting to kiss Mila, but I had to, and the fact that Mila initiated it made me not refuse it and went along kissing her. I felt guilty and gnawed at my deepest heart as I watched Tessa take her food without replying to my greeting and go to her room with it, putting on that strong face when I knew that she was hurting deep down in her heart. I had to force myself away from Mila seeing that Tessa walked in an

    TessaAs I lay in bed, Leah's words echoed in my mind, "Liam's going away to a board conference." It sound more than a good news. I recalled the mix of emotions that crossed Leah's voice when she told me. She was sad to see him go, but also proud of his achievement.But why did I feel relieved?Was it because Liam's absence would mean less drama, less tension?I can go a day without being bothered by him and I can hang out with Leah without a pry eyes, it sound more than a good news. I inhaled loudly, pushing the thoughts aside, focusing on my current state.I felt disgusting, like a mess. Tears had stained my clothes, and my face felt puffy.I needed to clean up and change to something neat and casual. I tossed off the covers and headed to the bathroom.As I turned on the shower, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.My eyes looked sunken, my skin pale. I sighed, feeling drained. Why did I have to be so complicated? Huh? Just why? I rolled my eyes before stepping into the s

    Carter I watched Mila leave the house to get some beverages from the store, I felt a mix of relief and anxiety. I had tried to follow her, eager to escape my thoughts and clasp fresh outside the house but she wouldn't heed. I didn't want to argue with her or make it seem like I want to run out of the house with a silly excuse. The door closed behind her, a loud groan escaped my lips, I settled into the couch, surrounded by the silence of the house.Finally, I admitted to myself that Tessa was smart and determined. When she said she didn't want to talk to me, she meant it. Maybe that's the best thing to do now, giving each other space that we both desire. I thought about our conversation earlier, how she'd hung up on me. Her words still lingered in my mind, "I just want to be alone."I sighed, rubbing my temples. I had been so caught up in my feelings that I hadn't considered Tessa's needs.She needed space, and I had to respect that.But it was hard. I missed her already.I missed

    TessaI lay on my bed, surrounded by darkness, my thoughts swirling like a vortex. How did I get here? How did my relationship with Carter grow so big that I fell deeply admire to him? I couldn't fathom the sincerity of my feelings for him. I thought back to the first time we met, the spark that ignited between us. I remembered the way he smiled, the way his eyes crinkled at the corners. I recalled the laughter, the adventures, the quiet moments we shared.But now, everything seemed tainted. Jasmine's words echoed in my mind: "Homewrecker." "Shameless."I felt a pang of guilt, wondering if I was indeed destroying the family. But Carter want me, and I want him too. Was that so wrong? Was that a big deal? My phone buzzed on the nightstand, Mr. Carter's name flashing on the screen. I ignored it, not ready to face him.My mother's calls went unanswered too. I couldn't bear to hear her concerns, her worries knowing fully I was the cause of all this. I tossed and turned, my mind racing.
