All On Contract

Chapter 119 - An Autumn Wedding

Tessa's P.O.V:
I close my diary and let out a sigh before I tuck it under the pillow. I look at the clock as it strikes 5am on the dot before I throw my duvet off me and climb out of Marshall's bed as Iris stays asleep. Marshall is sleeping a couple of rooms down and gave us his room since it's across my mothers.

Today is our big day.

I wish that today won't happen. I hope our managers change their minds. I hope it gets cancelled but I know this will never happen. It's part of the contract, it's one of the biggest part of the contract and it has to be done.

I wrap my silk robe around me and walk out of Marshall's room. I close the door lightly behind me and walk past my room, I don't bother going in since Chris, Karla and Milo are in there.

I walk down the stairs and turn on the lights since it's still dark out. I stop at the kitchen doorway when I see the light on before I decide to walk in, only to find Andrew sitting on one of the high stools.

"Hey." I say as I walk towards the sink. Andrew quickly looks up at me before he relaxes a little.

"You're up early." He says.

"So are you." I say as I fill up my water glass before I lean against the sink and watch him as he closes his black leather diary.

"Yeah, one of my patients needed an emergency surgery and I had to walk a doctor through it." He yawns. "Big day today." He says.

"Huge." I sigh and walk towards him before I sit down next to him.

"You don't look very excited." He says, making me shrug.

"I'm more nervous than excited." I state.

"How come?" He asks. I shrug once again before I place my head on the table and look up at him. "When I got married to Amy, I felt more excited than nervous." He tells me.

"That's because you've known her since college." I state and watch him shrug.

"It doesn't matter how long I knew her before marrying her. I loved her and that's all that matters." He tells me. "Jacob...He's been a little off about this wedding." He adds.

"I've noticed that too." I state.

"I think everyone has." He mumbles. "He wasn't like this before. He actually liked Marshall...Did something happen between Jacob and Marshall?" He asks, making me shake my head.

"Not that I know off." I shrug.

"He's probably just worried about you." Andrew says, making me nod before it goes quiet between us for a couple of long seconds.

"Andrew, I wanted to ask you something and it's been bugging me for the last couple of nights." I say as I sit up. Andrew places his coffee mug down and looks at me.

"Something serious, I can tell." He says before he turns to face me fully. "Go ahead. Ask." He says.

"Now that dad's gone." I start and watch him as he sighs and nods before he looks back at me. "I have no one to walk me down the aisle and in my last wedding, Chris walked me down the aisle." I explain and watch his frown turn into a smile.

"You're...Wait, I wanna hear you say it." He says as he sits up, making me roll my eyes.

"Will you walk me down the aisle?" I ask and watch his smile widen.

"I thought you would never ask." He says.

"Is that a yes?" I say as I tilt my head to the side and watch him as he lets out a soft laugh.
