Drunk In Love (Hessa)

61

Hardin's POV

When I go downstairs, I find Tessa crying on the couch. What the fuck happened? I walk to her and I sit next to her, dragging her in my arms. Well... I suppose she's crying because of Cassie. I don't like to see Tess crying because of her little sister. Tessa is not guilty for anything Cassie said and I will have a talk with that girl, to make her understand that Tessa is her sister to try. After a few moments, Tessa stops crying, so I can find out what happened.

"What's wrong, baby?" I wipe her tears with my thumbs.

"She hates me."

"No, she doesn't hate you. She has a sensitive period, but I'm sure she's going to be fine."

"She said that she can't wait to leave, so she will be far away from me..."

"I'm going to talk with her. Someone has to talk some sense into her head." I get up, but Tessa takes my hand, stopping me.

"Hardin, no..."

"Tessa... Let me talk with her."

"Leave her alone!"

"I don't like to see you crying because she's the only one who thinks something stupid. So, go and take a shower while I go to talk with your stubborn sister."

I kiss her forehead and I walk to Cassie's room. I won't be polite, I won't knock at the door.

"What are you doing here?!" She yells. "Get the fuck out!"

"I came to talk some sense into your head, little girl."

"I don't need to hear you, so fuck off. Leave!"

"No! Shut up and sit down. Don't interrupt me." She does what I say and I start my speech. "Stop wearing like a stupid kid. You are almost an adult. You will be 17 soon and you have to wear like someone of your age. Stop making Tessa guilty for what happened. She is not guilty. Understand that your mother died because she was sick and this was her faith. And stop blaming me because Tessa left. She wanted a new start and she had it right next to me. It was meant to be! So, get your shit together and live again. Crying and staying locked in your room won't help you with anything! If you keep doing this, your destroy you and your family. So, if you want to listen to me, you can go now downstairs, to say sorry to your sister. She was crying because you said something that wasn't true and you made her cry on her birthday."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I love your sister and I want her to be happy. So, if you want to continue to hurt her, stay her. If you want to have a relationship with her, go and talk with her. Do whatever you want. That's all I wanted to say."

I leave Cassie's room and I go downstairs to prepare breakfast. I decide to make some pancakes because I know Tessa likes them a lot.

I'm curious if Cassie listened what I said. I hope she will go to her sister and she will say sorry. Let's hope for the best.

As soon as I finish the pancakes, I put them in the microwave, so they won't get cold, then I walk upstairs. Tessa's bedroom door is cracked open and I see the two sisters, hugging on the bed. Well, it seems like I did a good job. I don't want to interrupt them, but I bet both of them are hungry.

I open the door and I clear my throat.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but breakfast is ready."

"We're coming." I nod and I walk back to the kitchen. A few moments later, Tessa comes back. "Thank you for what you did." She hugs me and I kiss her head.

"You don't have to thank me. Where is she?"

"She's coming. She went to change her clothes and to do girl stuff. We're okay..."

"That's good. Because I didn't like the idea of going in a trip with you mad at Cassie."

"You did this just for our trip?"

"Of course, not. I did this because I wanted to see you happy. I had no idea that she was going to talk with you."

"Thank you so much!"

Cassie: "I'm sorry to interrupt your romantic moment..."

Tessa: "That's okay, Cassie."

Cassie: "I'm sorry for what I said, Hardin... I was really angry and I didn't think about what I'm saying."

Hardin: "You're forgiven. Now, let's eat!"

After breakfast, Cassie left to take a shower while we cleaned the mess I made in the kitchen.

"How much do you want us to stay here? We have to be on August 14th in LA, so we can fly to Miami."

"Another two days? I want to be sure that she's okay."

"Okay, but we have to stay at your apartment. I can't keep my hands of off you."

"Okay, handsome." She giggles and I peck her lips. I love this woman a lot and I couldn't see my life without her. "Can you go bring my phone from my bedroom, please?"

"Sure. Where it is?"

"On the nightstand."

I go upstairs and I take Tessa's phone, then I walk back downstairs where I find her sitting on the couch. I hand her the phone and I sit next to her. In the next hours, she answers at texts and calls for her birthday.

At evening, before to leave to her apartment, we have dinner with Cassie and Richard. And after we eat, we take our stuff and we leave to Tessa's apartment. We need some intimacy. We ended the night making love and this is the best way we could finish a day.
