All On Contract

Chapter 41: Our Little Secret

Tessa's P.O.V:
Once I've done my hair, I quickly walk out my room. Nathan walks out his and sends me a smile as I walk towards him.

"Good morning." I smile at Nathan as we make our way down stairs.

"What's so good about it?" He asks, making me roll my eyes.

"Is your brother up?" I ask him as we make our way down the stairs.

"He fell alseep in his studio last night, so I doubt it." He shrugs. "Can't we go out for brekafast?" He asks.

"In this weather, I don't think so." I say, making him sigh.

"Where are you and Marshall going today?" He asks.

"Chicago." I sigh.

It had been a week since I gave it a try with Marshall. All we do is hold hands or just cuddle but I don't mind, I love being wrapped up in his arms.

It's weird actually, we haven't really talked about us holding hands or cuddling. I'm not really sure what he wants from all this. I mean, does he have feelings towards me or am I just someone that he wants to 'play' around with?

"Tessa." Nathan waves his hand infront of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, what did you say?" I ask as we walk into the kitchen.

"I said what's in Chicago?" He asks.

"We have a party to go to and Marshall has an interview with some magazine and I need to check out some artist that Leroy really seems to like." I explain.

"Cool." He mumbles as I slide his favourite box of cereal towards him. "You know, I don't think I have ever been to Chicago." He says.

"Really." I roll my eyes as I make myself a cup of my coffee.

"Yeah, I uhr, heard it's pretty dope." He says. "I mean, I can only imagine what it's like." He says.

"Is that so." I smile.

"Ca-" He starts but I cut him off.

"No, you can't go." I say quickly.

"But that-" He starts, making me roll my eyes.

"Have you asked Marshall?" I ask.

"No but-" He starts speak before I cut him off once again.

"Then go ask him. I don't want to get in trouble by saying yes to you without Marshall's permission." I say as I grab my cup of coffee and walk out the kitchen.

"Damn." Nathan mumbles as he walks into his bedroom which is in the same hotel room that we are staying in. The hotel room had two bedrooms.

Nathan begged Marshall to bring him along with us to Chicago but Marshall kept saying no. He wasn't going to key him come but Debbie was busy and I think Marshall's scared to leave Nathan alone after he found out about the party he had when we were in New York.

"Cars outside." Marshall says and walks in.

"What? I'm not even ready yet." I sigh and quickly place my suitcase on my bed and unzip it.

I take out my dress and lay it down on my bed before I quickly rush into the shower. After a quick body shower, I do my make up and start to curl my hair.

"You're not even dressed yet." Marshall says, walking in. I look down at my white bathrobe and look back up at the mirror.

"Give me 10 minutes." I say.
