All On Contract

Chapter 42: Aftermath Of The Party

Tessa's P.O.V:
I squint my eyes at the sun's brightness and cover my face with the duvet but it's still too bright. Sighing, I get out of bed and walk over to the windows and pull the curtins together, making the room dark.

My head is killing me. I yawn and run my fingers through my hair is I walk into the ensuit. Once i'm done, I walk back into the bedroom and climb into bed. I turn on my right and gasp when I see Marshall next to me, shirtless

'This feels wrong..'

'...It feels right to me.'

We...No way! Did I kiss Marshall last night? I swallow a huge lump in my throat and stay still as I watch Marshall turn towards me in his sleep. He throws his arm around my waist and pulls me close against him.

I keep my palms pressed against his chest as I keep my eyes fixed on his face. He looks so peaceful and stress free when he's sleeping.

I don't know why freaking out. It's what I wanted, I know that but i'm scared. What if it gets serious? It can't get serious with Marshall when I just got divorced!

It's a bit of fun, Tessa! Quit thinking about it too much!

I wonder if he remembers about last night. I hope he does and I hope he doesn't regret getting close to me because all I want is to feel his lips against mine again, I just love this feeling.

Marshall P.O.V:
I slowly open my eyes and close them again before they flutter open again when I realise who's sleeping next to me. I look down at one of her hands that are pressed against my chest.

How the hell did we end up here. I mean, we were at Jeff's party having fun and th- Fuck Marshall! Not again. She's gonna regret fucking getting close to me.

The curtins were closed and it was dark in here so I had no idea what time it is. I slowly move my arm away from her waist and start to untangle my legs from hers.

"Mmm..." Tessa moans and let's out a small sigh. Her eyes slowly open and she blinks a few times before she rubs her face and moves her legs away from mine and turn onto her back. "You're awake." She states as she yawns.

Wait, she doesn't mind that we're in the same bed? Last time we slept together she basically fucking jumped ten feet away from me and now she doesn't mind? Does the mean she remembers or does that mean she doesn't regret getting close to me?

"Yeah. I just woke up." I mumble. Tessa lets out a sigh as she pulls the duvet up to her chin and closes her eyes before she turn to lay on her side.

"Did you forget about last night?" She mumbles as she looks up at me, O shake my head in response. "Good. That means we won't have to talk about it or ask questions." She says.

"Wait, you ain't mad about last night?" I ask in confusion.

"I'm over it, Marshall." She smiles lightly.

"Over what?" I ask.

"Never mind." She mumbles and groans as she rubs her head.

"Your head hurting again?" I ask.

"Mhmm." She nods. "God I hate hangovers." She mumbles.

"Lay down for a few minutes." I tell her and pull the blanket over us. She places her hand under her face and her gaze falls upon mine.

"Does your head not hurt after all the drinking?" She asks quietly.

"I'm gonna take a pill." I mumble. She nods slowly and lets out a sigh.

"You said you wanted to have a little fun with the contract?" She questions after a little pause.

"That was a long time ago." I say after a while.
