Okay so I'm super happy. This chappie just took me to 30,000 words. I'm not sure if you're the type of reader that care about length, but I am. I've decided to post this chapter ASAP since I updated yesterday and saw how close I was. Happy Days Are Here Again!
When the final bell rang, She couldn't get out of school fast enough. She went to her locker quickly, and tossed all of her books inside. Sasuke was looking at her and she could feel his gaze. He walked over to her with a smirk.
"What'd my brother have to say?" She looked at him as she began walking to the parking lot.
"He's going to break my face," Sasuke shrugged, it seemed like Kiba.
"He's paranoid," She rolled her eyes. Sasuke just smiled. Sasuke took her hand as they walked out the front doors of the school. She didn't protest. Tess noticed a ton of girls glaring at her as she walked to Hana's car. Kiba was already leaning against the silver car.
"What's your plan for today?" Kiba looked at her.
"Well me and Hana are dropping you guys off, then.. We're doing some major girl bonding dress shopping," She smiled at him and he nodded. Sasuke was still holding her hand when Gaara walked up, looking totally pissed. It wasn't Sasuke's fault, but Gaara was still glaring at him. She sighed as Hana got to the car. Neji walked up and was talking about coming over. Kiba only nodded his head. Tess jumped in the front seat and slid over to the middle. Sasuke got in the passenger and Kiba, Gaara and Neji all piled into the back seat. Hana drove home quickly, and all the while Sasuke was holding her hand in his. When all of the guys piled out of the car Sasuke leaned over and placed a small kiss on her forehead. Gaara looked like he was about to strangle him when Hana pulled out of the driveway, but he only seemed like that to Tessa. Hana pulled up to the mall and smiled at her sister.
"So the plan is: nails, hair, dresses, masks, shoes. In that order," She laughed. Tess nodded and went to go get her nails done. When she was done and move to the hair salon she had them cut it to shoulder length, had it layered and shaped. She looked at herself in the mirror and she looked like Hana, beautiful. When they moved to the dress store, Hana seemed to be having a fit over the color. Tessa had chosen black, because it complimented her tattoos so well. When she found the dress she wanted she tried it on. It was a strapless ebony party dress. It had a few petticoats underneath in silver and white. It fell to mid thigh, and she had to admit, she looked great. Her legs weren't scared at all, it was her back she had to worry about. She saw Hana looking at it and sighing, but said nothing. Tessa looked in the mirror and smiled.
"How does it look?" Tessa asked her.
"Perfect. That's perfect," Hana smiled at her. She found a light blue dress that had cut out sides. It was high in the front and low in the back, with silver beads embellishing it. It looked great on her and Tessa nodded.
"You look great," Tessa smiled at her and she laughed. They moved to the masks and Tessa tried a few on before she fell in love with an ebony mask, adorned with silver and white feathers on the left side. It conformed to her face perfectly. Hana found a light blue mask that looked like Tessa's except instead of black it was blue, with the right side feathers.
When they reached the shoes Tess grabbed a pair of black heels with silver glitter on the heel and called it a day. Hana grabbed a pair of silver stilettos and Tessa had no idea how she was going to wear them. Tessa laughed at her as she tried to walk in them and finally decided it was time to go home. They piled into the car and found all the guys except Gaara were on the couch playing MW3. Tessa hurried up the stairs and put her dress away. She stepped back into the hallway to find Sasuke had come up the stairs to use the bathroom and he smiled at her.
"Do I get a sneak peak at your dress?" He asked as he grabbed her hands in his.
"Nope, you have to wait until friday," She told him with a smile.
"Can I at least see your mask?" He asked as he admired her new hair cut. She pulled it off her bedside table and held it up to her face. He took it away from her face and smiled at her.
"Happy?" She asked him as she leaned against the hallway wall.
"No, I wish it wasn't a masquerade dance," He told her.
"Why?" She was curious.
"Because, a pretty girl like you shouldn't have to hide her pretty face behind a mask," He touched her cheek lightly. She smiled at him and he leaned down, his eyes were just level with hers and she could feel his warm breath tickle her face.
She realized that she was surrounded by him, He stood in front of her with his hands on either side of the wall, leaning down to her and she still had on his jacket. Their noses touched for just a moment before he leaned down. Pausing only for a moment to search her eyes for any indication that she was against this. She watched him as he leaned closer to her. His lips barely brushed hers and she smirked as his eyes fell closed and hers did also. He pressed his lips to hers and she smiled against his lips. He licked her bottom lip. Begging for entrance and she granted him. Their tongues danced for a moment and her hands were in his onyx hair, his were in her brunette locks.
He released her from the kiss and kissed her cheeks and her forehead before fully releasing her. She leaned up and kissed him once more. Letting him know the feelings were mutual. He smiled at her and held her in a tight embrace for a moment before he caught her lips in a heavy kiss once more. She heard the toilet flush as the bathroom door swung open. Gaara stepped out and saw Tessa in Sasuke's arms. He made a point to clear his throat, but Sasuke didn't seem to notice him.
We should stop. I shouldn't do this in front of him. She thought as she stood in Sasuke's arms and couldn't bring herself to break the kiss. When Sasuke picked her up and took her into her room, she knew then he had heard the red-head, just didn't care that he had caught them.
Sasuke shut her door behind him and moved to hold her once more. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she felt completely comfortable. He kissed her lips, each time he seemed to capture her lips with more passion. When he finally pulled away, she didn't think her legs could support her. He held her against him and she smiled at him. He leaned with her body and lay Tessa down on the bed. He moved to lay next to her and she felt his arms encircle her. She lay next to him for a long moment before he spoke.
"Why don't you sing more often?" He looked at her.
"Why would anyone want to hear me sing?" She looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"You're an amazing singer. I've heard you, You always sound so sad," He brushed some hair out of her face. Her head was on his shoulder and he was still holding her close.
"I'm sorry. It was probably a bad day when you heard me sing," She told him since he was being a lot more blunt than she'd expected.
"Will you sing me something?" He asked her quietly and she thought about it for a long moment.
"What do you want to hear?" You asked him softly.
"Something that describes how you're feeling," He told her and she screwed her lips together, not exactly sure how to describe how she was feeling.
"There isn't a song to describe this," She told him as she closed her eyes. She heard him chuckle and his grip tightened on her waist.
"Agreed," He told her as he kissed her forehead. She smiled, and cuddled closer to him. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it over them as he held her to his chest. The moment couldn't get anymore perfect. She laid there for what seemed like forever before someone opened her door. KIba stuck his head in and turned on the light, almost blinding Tessa since there was hardly any light in the room.
"You alright Tessa?" He was eying Sasuke
"Go away Kiba," She groaned at him. "And turn the light off," He was about to leave before he turned back to stare at her.
"Are you sure you're alright Tess?" He asked her, and Tessa noticed Sasuke was asleep.
"Yes Kiba. Just let me sleep," She told him. "I'm fine with the light being off tonight," She told him confidently. She felt completely safe in Sasuke's arms. He nodded and turned the light out. Tessa settled back into a peaceful sleep and awoke the next morning. Sasuke was still laying beside her and she smiled at him. She yawned and knew her breath had to smell bad. She got up, careful not to wake Sasuke and went to the bathroom. She jumped in the shower quickly, brushed her teeth and wet hair before going back into her room. Sasuke was looking up at her as she came back into the room.
"Sleep well?" She asked him with a smiled and he just nodded his head. They had just laid there all night, but no one else in the house was going to believe that.
"Yeah, I'm gonna borrow some of Kiba's clothes," He told her as he stood. He kissed her forehead before he exited the room and she got dressed quickly in a pair of white skinny jeans that Hana had given her and a black Evanescence long sleeve shirt. It hugged her tiny frame. She pulled on Sasuke's jacket and smiled at her drying hair. She smiled as Sasuke came back into the room in a pair of Kiba's blue jeans and his white 'I'm a Beast' T-shirt. She smiled as he came forward and kissed her lips lightly.
"You look great," He told her and she winked at him.
"How come you didn't wear this stuff before?" He gestured to the pants.
"I sprained my ankle before we moved up here and those pants were a lot easier to get on," She lied to him with a shrug.
"I did notice a limp," He told her and she nodded.
"Tess, Sasuke, we're about to leave," Kiba called through the door.
"Okay," She called back to him and she took Sasuke's hand. She led him down the stairs and Kiba was trying to be happy about this. When he saw her smile he perked up though. She noticed Gaara had spent the night as well, was he trying to stalk Tessa or something. He didn't look at her just headed out to the car and sat in the front seat on the way to school. They piled out of the car and Sasuke held her hand as she walked to her locker.
"What the hell is this?" Sakura asked as she came over. She was wearing the same white skinny jeans Tessa was, but hers were a few sizes bigger, and a low cut pink tank top. She was thrusting her boobs out and trying to look appealing.
"What is what?" Tessa asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Why are you hanging around her Sasuke. You should be with me," She stuck one finger in her mouth and tried to look sexy.
"Yeah, that's why he spent the night with me last night," She rolled her eyes and turned away from her. She opened her locker.
"I bet he didn't even touch you," Sakura sneered at her.
"Oh, and I bet he did," Tessa looked at her with a smug smirk. Sakura looked at Sasuke in disbelief and Sasuke just looked at Tess with a amused smirk as his eyes raked up and down her body. Sakura noticed and stalked away mad. She pulled her English stuff out of her locker as Sasuke closed his and moved to stand by her. His arm was around her shoulders and she smirked. When she walked into Kakashi's classroom, there was no doubt that everyone was surprised to see Tessa and Sasuke together. Sakura and Ino walked in, glaring at her.
"Should I kick her ass now or later?" Sakura looked at her best friend, speaking way too loudly.
"Now," Ino smirked as Sakura walked over to the girl in question.
"What the hell do you want?" Tessa looked at her. Her hand was still locked with Sasuke's on top of his desk.
"I told you he was mine," Sakura drew her fist back and as she reached out to punch Tessa, she ducked. Saukra's hand went right over her head and Tessa took her boot clad foot and kicked her in the stomach. She grabbed her foot and tried to pull Tess from the desk. Tessa used it as leverage to kick her in the face with her other foot. She stumbled back, her nose bleeding. Tessa stood with your fists raised, waiting for her to attack again, but she fell to her knees.
"Pussy," Tessa smirked as sat sat back down in her desk. Sasuke was looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Where did you learn to fight?" He asked.
"Kiba taught me a few things," She shrugged. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Kakashi came back into the room and saw Sakura sitting there.
"She broke my nose!" Sakura accused Tessa.
"It was all in self-defense," Tess held herr hands up and pointed to the camera in the corner of the room. Kakashi went back to the camera and review the recording. When he found she was telling the truth he just told Sakura to go clean herself up in the bathroom. Tessa chuckled as he began to start class.
Read/Review... blah blah blah. I know none of you ever read these. That's why I bold them so you can skip it. Love you guys! XD
