Hardin's POV:
"Baby, baby wake up" I am awoken by Tessa whispering in my ear and shaking my shoulders. "Hardin Allen Scott you better wake up" her hot breath tickles my ear, and he chest heavily falls up and down.
"What? What's wrong?" I wake up and she smiles, wrapping her arms around my neck and picking my head up closer in her chest.
"I love you so much" she says, almost choking me by hugging tighter.
Then it hits me that she's drunk. She never calls me 'baby' or anything unless she's drunk. And she hasn't shown me any affection in days so she has got to be drunk.
"How much have you had to drink?" I ask as she practically shoves my face on her chest, which I can't complain about.
"I don't know" she sighs. "I was so happy when I saw you home" she whispers, bringing my face closer to hers.
"Well I thought I could come early for you" I say and she kisses the tip of my nose.
"You shouldn't do stuff like that. You're the perfect husband otherwise. I know you love me and care about me but you've forgotten to express it in these years" she clicks her tongue and shakes her head in disappointment.
"It's not like I had a choice. I'm just trying to polish my career and make sure I am able to provide if we ever think of growing our family" I tell her the truth only because she's wasted and won't remember it tomorrow.
"Oh please. You are rich as fuck" she scoffs. "And I am not that poor too. We don't need to work that hard that we forget our life partners" she frowns.
"Let's go to sleep, yeah? We'll talk in morning" I tuck her hair behind her ear and she sighs, her liquor reeked breath right in my face.
"I feel sick" she whispers and she's on the verge of crying.
"Of course you feel sick. You're drunk" I say and she holds my face between her palms.
A tear drops down her eye and she smiles, resting her forehead on mine.
She climbs off me and starts undressing herself before removing her t-shirt and shorts from the closet.
"I've been thinking Hardin and I wanna have a baby with you" she says pulling a t-shirt above her head and I almost choke on my breath.
"Wh- what?" I ask and she chuckles. She throws her dirty clothes away and climbs in beside me, cuddling into my arm.
"It would be fun I mean, we'll be parents. You know I always wanted a baby" she looks up at me and licks her lips.
"We'll talk about this later" I kiss her forehead and wrap my arm around her shoulder.
"Please" she turns to me, resting her chin on my chest. "When I get better, we can start trying"
"What do you mean when you get better?" I ask and her expression changes.
"Nothing, I mean when I'm not intoxicated with alcohol" she chuckles.
She talks and talks about what she did today and yesterday, not leaving a single detail behind. I love when she talks random stuff with me and her expressions are priceless.
"Did you forget Kim in the bar or something?" I ask her peeping outside because of the silence.
She gasps and thinks for a second, then untangles herself from my grip and runs outside.
I follow her unwillingly and she stops in the living room.
"She's here, phew" she says rubbing her temple and taking a seat beside Kim who is passed out on our couch with her legs in different directions.
