Tessa

New Year's Eve party, Los Angeles

I'm so excited to see Emma. On our flight, I told Hardin how much I miss her and I know he had enough because before we landed, he stuck his earphones in and he ignored me.

"I'm sorry because I exaggerated about Emma, but it's been a long time since I saw her..." I kiss his cheek while we walk to a taxi.

"It will be boring for me. I don't even know why I agreed to come with you."

"Well... Maybe because you love me?" I smirk and he kisses me.

"Yeah, that's true."

We take a taxi and I give the driver the address. After 35 minutes, we arrive in the front of the building where Emma and Becca are living. And when I look at the entrance, Emma is already waiting for us.

Emma: "Oh, hi!" She comes to me and she hugs me. "You are glowing, girl! Sex is really good for you, I see." She whispers and I giggle.

Tessa: "Thanks, I think?"

Emma: "Oh, and Hardin... How are you doing?" She hugs him, but he stays there like a statue. Well, he doesn't like being hugged by someone else beside me or his mother. "What a jerk." She moves back. "Let's go upstairs, Becca is making a snack for us!" She takes my hand and we get inside the building, leaving Hardin behind with our bags. We take the elevator to the last floor and I see that there's only one door. Okay, that's strange. The surface of the building is really big... And they live here? We enter in the apartment and I'm shocked to see it's a penthouse. "I know you're surprised. Becca's parents are paying for this. Do you like it?"

Tessa: "Yes, I do."

Emma: "Becca! We're here!"

Becca: "Oh, hi guys!" She comes to hug us.

Tessa: "Hi!"

Hardin: "Where we can put our stuff?"

Emma: "Let me lead to your room."

We follow Emma and she shows us where is the bathroom and the room we will stay in the next days, then she leaves, letting us alone.

"I love this apartment."

"Becca's parents are rich and they can afford it."

"Yeah..." I lay down on the bed.

"I'm going to take a shower. Wanna join me?"

"Sadly, now. I'm going to stay with the girls, okay?"

"Yep." I get up and I peck his lips, then he goes to the bathroom and I go to the living room where Becca and Emma are.

Emma: "Where's Hardin?"

Tessa: "He's showering."

Becca: "How's to be with him?"

Tessa: "Amazing. And he's all I ever wanted."

Emma: "That's good to hear." She smiles. "And? Did you do the next step?" She smirks.

Becca: "Emma! Leave her alone!"

Emma: "I'm just curious if my friend is still a virgin."

Tessa: "For your curiosity, your friend, that's me, I'm not a virgin anymore. Happy?"

Emma: "What?!" She says shocked, almost yelling.

Tessa: "Shut up." I cover her mouth with my hand.

Emma: "When this happened?"

Tessa: "On my birthday."

Emma: "And how it was?"

Becca: "Emm... We don't need details. It's her sex life."

Emma: "My bestie lost her virginity with her crush from ages ago and you think I don't need details?! You're insane. She was craving after Hardin since first year of high-school."

Becca: "Yeah, but it's her personal life. She didn't want to hear details from our intimacy..."

Tessa: "Emma, I love you so much, but Becca's right. I can't give you details about my sexual life. It's not right." I say and I hear Hardin laughing. Shit.

Hardin: "Emma, please. We're not here to talk about our sexual life." He says coming down the hallway, just with a towel around his hips. Holly, shit. He's so handsome... I'm still asking what I did to deserve a hottie boy like him. I look at Emma and Becca starring at him and I decide to break them.

Tessa: "I thought you don't like boys." I smirk and they are looking at me.

Hardin: "We're not available for a foursome, girls."

Emma: "You know if I were into boys, he would have been mine, you know?"

Becca: "Haha, so sad that you like me."

Tessa: "Hardin, would you like to go and put some clothes on you, so my lesbian friends will stop watching you?"

Hardin: "You don't like me naked?"

Tessa: "I do, but just when it's just us. Now, please, go."

Hardin: "Yes, ma'am." He disappears and my friends look at me.

Emma: "Oh, wow. Hardin following someone's orders... that's new."

Tessa: "Well... he loves me, I love him and we don't want to fight."

Becca: "Wait, did you just say the L word?"

Tessa: "Yeah, what's so wrong with this?"

Emma: "Hardin Scott is in love with you? The baddie, Hardin Fucking Scott is loving someone else other than his mother?"

Hardin: "And what if I do, girls? I don't have an ice heart as everyone thought in high-school." He sits next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "And stop asking her questions, you're making her uncomfortable."

Tessa: "I'm okay, don't worry." I smile and I kiss his cheek.

Emma: "Then, if you don't want to answer our questions, we should start getting ready the house for party. The people will arrive here around 8pm and it's already 4pm."

We get up and we start to decorate the house and around 7:30pm, me and Hardin go to get ready.

"Hm... What should I wear?" I look through my dresses I brought with me.

"Something to cover all your body." He says while he buttons up his shirt.

"I have only short dresses. Emma said that it will be some intimate party."

"Then wear that." He points to a dress with long sleeves.

It's New Year's Eve and they landed in LA, then, they went to the apartment where Emma was waiting for this adorable couple.

As Hardin is taking a shower, Tessa has time to spend a little time with her friends. And Emma is not shy to ask about what happened between Tessa and her boyfriend. She wants to know every little detail, but Tessa doesn't want to share what happened in their intimacy.

Emma is shocked that Hardin Scott is in love with someone, but she's happy for her best friend.
