*the next morning

I woke up in pain due to the scar that Alex gave me when she slapped me. I get up quickly and get ready. I don't want to get makeup on the scar so I did everything around
it even though it looked bad. I go downstairs wondering where Chance's parents were. I hear footsteps coming down so I say " Mrs. Sutton?"

Chance: why would they be here? They don't live here

I looked at him and quickly turned away hoping he wouldn't notice my cheek. Too late though, he was walking over to me and held my face to get a closer look at my cheek.

Chance: what the hell happened

Tessa: " nothing" I muttered and turned away but he held my hand

Tessa: "get your hand off me" I scowled and he quickly let go..

I make myself some breakfast and Chance just sits there staring at me. I'm about to say something until his phone rings and he gets up to go get it. A few minutes later he said, "my friend Anthony is coming and then we have a party to attend to later in the evening." I gave him a quick nod and he left. Around 15 minutes later I heard the doorbell sound. I thought Chance was gonna get it but he must be getting ready. I get up and open the door only to see a charming brown haired man with hazel eyes looking at me.

Anthony: Hi

Tessa: hi are you Anthony?

Anthony: yes but you can call me Tony

Tessa: and you can call me Tessa

Anthony: [chuckles] well, is Chance here

Tessa: he must be getting ready but want to watch some TV with me

Tony: ya

I lead him into the TV room where Riverdale was playing. We both sat next to each other watching the show until he starts talking

Tony: So I never asked, who exactly are you?

Tessa: I'm Tessa and I'm not exactly sure what I am. I think fiance would be appropriate but I think Chance will tell you everything.

Tony: fiance? No way! Chance would never settle down

Tessa: haha just a little touch of force

Anthony and I are cracking jokes and laughing until Chance walks in to the house and sees what's happening

Chance: [just a touch of anger] Hey Tony

Tony: [gets up] hey man how ya doing

Chance: good how bout you

Tony: I'm great but you're getting married [points to Tessa]

Chance: yes I am

Tessa: okay well nice meeting you guys I'm heading out

Chance: whoa where do you think you're going

Tessa: outside you know the real world?

Chance: no you're not go get ready for the party and cover up whatever's on your cheek

Tessa: "maybe it wouldn't be there if your stupid slut wasn't a jealous bitch" I said forgetting that Tony was still there

I leave him there with his mouth open and I walk upstairs getting ready and I'm gonna make sure he knows what he's missing out on. After 2 hours of getting ready I put this dress on and covered up the scar.

I put slight curls in my hair and put stilettos on and walked downstairs where Chance was waiting

Tessa: how much more time do we have

Chance doesn't even answer he just stares at me with his mouth open. Mission accomplished. I walk a little seductively towards him and sit in his lap facing him

Tessa: "Chance I asked you a question"

Chance just puts his hands around my waist and grips it.

Chance: the party isn't till 7

Tessa: its 6 though why'd you make me get ready

Chance: its our engagement party

Now it was my turn to stare at him with my mouth open in shock. It was already happening? Why so fast

Tessa: already?

Chance: yes the Paul's and Costellers are planning on striking so we must do this quickly. The wedding will be in a month..

Tessa: I don't even know the first thing about you! What happens if people start asking questions..

Chance: that's why we're here an hour early ready for the party

I get off his lap and sit next to him.

Chance: first piece of info about me

Tessa: um ok

Chance: birthday is September 2, 1996

Tessa: okay mines is Ap-

Chance: April 5, 1997

Tessa: how'd you know that

Chance: I know everything about you. Don't worry you just need to know stuff about me

And for the next 45 minutes I knew stuff about Chance. Apparently he hated getting his feet touched. We we're just about to leave until Chance stopped me

Chance: I know you hate me but we have to act like we're in love

Tessa: okay do you want to make this interesting?

Chance: how so?

Tessa: lets bet who can act the most in love

Chance: I'm down. What's the prize

Tessa: you get that person for a whole day to do whatever you want to do

Chance: okay deal
