Forever after

Chapter 2

Hardins POV

Fuck

It's been too fucking long. I just got out of a meeting and I finally got a response from her.

I read her message and groan to myself. Why does she not want me to pick her up? And where she going to go? There is no way in hell im going to let my Tessa sleep in a fucking hotel.

I try calling her phone but it leads straight to voicemail. This is bullshit

I walk in my car and text her at least a hundred text messages, sure to answer

I turn my car on and drive to the airport. I know she doesn't want me to pick her up but I will not let her sleep in some fucking hotel.

I park my car to the nearest building sure enough to catch her somewhere. I know she should come by any minute because she told me her plane ticket.

I impatiently wait outside for her, but my heart is literally pounding out of chest.

Tessa POV

after sleeping through the whole ride I finally got off the plane. I even got Sierras number after I found out that she lives not to far from me.

My anxiety is killing me and I haven't even seen him yet, my plan is to meet up tomorrow to get lunch so that I can mentally prepare myself.

Ugh I just realized that I'm going to have to get an Uber or something, the thought of that makes me groan.

I walk outside to a breeze of wind in my face. I look around to see if I can catch a ride somewhere.

"Need a ride" I hear a familiar Beautiful British accent, I turn around and gasp when I see Hardin and immediately hug him as tight as I can.

Our lips then crash together and I almost fall from how much I have missed him. He plays with my hair while we slowly kiss each other with full passion

I then move away and hold his face "I missed you so much" I say almost crying

He smiles at me and says the same and I can't help but want to ask him so many questions.

"Why are you here, I thought you had a meeting"?i look in his eyes

"I finished early, and do you really think I'm going to let you sleep in a fucking hotel, when I can fuck you at my place" he smirks

"Still charming as ever I see" I giggle

"Never claimed I was" he smiles

I follow him to his car and I can't help but stare at how handsome he is.

He catches me staring and says "what are you thinking about"

"I just missed you" I smile looking down to my hands

"You've said that a million times Tess" he says in a tone I'm not sure of

He looks over too me and grabs my thigh. It's almost like foreign feeling and I can't help but smile at him.

We stop at a stopping light and he looks over to me "what do you want to do Tess" he looks directly at me

It's about noon and to be honest I don't really know, the tension between us is sorta awkward

"Umm I don't know, this is my first time coming to Chicago"I say looking out the window

"Shit i forgot, why don't we go out to lunch ya" he says looking at his phone

"Hey! No texting and driving, my god Hardin I hope you don't do that often" i swat his arm and giggle and he does the same.

"Sorry babe I was just looking on where to go" he smiles

The whole car ride wasn't bad, the fray was on and I couldn't help but hum quietly to the music, I can feel Hardin look at me sometimes and smiles

We then pull up to a little restaurant and walk in. I find out it's a little Italian restaurant. Hardin talks to the host while I take in how beautiful the restaurant is, the lady then takes us to a booth in the back of the restaurant. I check my phone and it is 1:30 and the restaurant is surprisingly not packed at all

We then order our drinks and we both proceed to talk about almost everything.

"How's the apartment" he says taking a sip of his water

"It's so quiet, and not to mention my business... I've just been so busy and stressful" I groan in my hands

"My baby hasn't gotten off that's why... right" he smirks

"Hardin! Don't say that so loud! And no I haven't...... ok maybe I did once... twice.... ok maybe three times" I giggle

"Glad to know I'm not the only one" he smirks

The lady then comes back and we order our foods. Talking to him just feels so at home.

After ten minutes of talking on and on we finally get our food. Hardin got some chicken with a salad and I got regular pasta.

I finish my meal and even ate little of Hardins chicken too

We bicker about who's going to pay and I finally let in and let him pay.

After paying the meal we walk to the car and pretty much sit there until he says something

"It's already three thirty Tess, wanna go to my place" he says looking towards me

"Sure I really don't know what else to do" I look through my phone to see a text from Landon asking if the flight went well

"who you texting" Hardin says snatching my phone

"Hardin! Give it back!" I giggle trying to reach it from him

I try to reach it but me being the short one it's was no use. I instead climb through the the counsel and sits on his lap to get him to face me

I finally snatch my phone from him and laugh in his face. I try to get off his lap but he holds my hips still

"You're beautiful, you know that" he says looking into my eyes

I giggle and lay my head on his chest

I feel him start kissing my neck slowly and I can't help but moan his name

"That's it Tess, let me make you feel good" he breaths in my neck making me melt inside

I look around and take a snap back to reality. "We can't do This... not here" I say looking around the small plaza

He looks around and agrees and I get back to the passenger seat

"Later then" he smirks at me making me excited for later

Hardin starts driving to his place while I take in how beautiful Chicago is.
