A Rebel Love Story
A/N: Happy (very extremely belated) NEW YEAR EVERYONE! WELCOME TO 2015! THE YEAR OF MY GRADUATION! So.. it's been FAR too long hasn't it? I haven't touched this story is quite sometime. All of you are probably thinking "WHY THE FUCK DID SHE WAIT NEARLY A YEAR TO UPDATE?" Okay so to answer those two questions, after I had posted the last chapter of the last thing I updated which I don't even know what that was, little cousins with orange juice happened.. They destoryed my computer drive and I literally couldn't afford another laptop at that current time and I had to find someone that could dig into my drive and pull all 1000 files and documents I had stored in there so I could finish these fics accurately. Lame excuse yes, but I've got a new laptop and I'm back to writing again Lovelies!
I am actually really excited to be back to writing this particular fic because it's Wessa. Its Will/Tessa. Who doesn't love a little Will/Tessa?
PS: The chapter after this might have a little somethin*somthin* if ya know what I mean ;) (but for those of you who don't; the somethin* somethin*= SMUT! Very sexy and romantic smut).

Chapter 9
Recap: Almost as if he read my mind, he kissed me. Softly, tenderly. I almost felt like crying. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. His lips slid tenderly against mine, but I wanted more than this. I wanted... what do I want?
"Will," I started softly, "You've given me so much in the past time that I've known you. I really didn't know. I didn't know if I would ever be loved or love. You bring the best out in me and I thank you for that. I love you, Will. So much."
With those last words, I had told William Herondale, a guy that I thought I hated numerous times, that I loved him. One night of pure passion will be spent and I can't wait for that night to come.
Later that night, I worked the bar like usual. After that "incident", that man was arrested for attempted rape and assault. Charlotte took me off the list of girls that were not allowed to work the rooms for a few months and I honestly couldn't be more thankful for that. That little episode was more than enough to deprive me of a good amount of sleep for a long while.
Ever since that night, Jessamine's been the doting and caring cousin that I remember her to be. She's been making sure that I eat and sleep. She thinks that I can't see her slipping sleeping pills into my tea before bed.
To be honest, they helped..ALOT.
And Will..
As much as the words taste like vinegar, he's really the one I owe my life to. Every once in a while, I'll recieve a cheesy text or a phone call from him and his cocky attitude, but underneath all the sarcasm and bullshit, lies and care and the desperation to make sure that I'm okay and well.
As I'm wiping out a glass, a couple guys plopped down with small presents like cards and candy or a bottle of wine. Most offered to kick the (in their own words) "fuckin' fucker where the fuckin' sun don't shine."
"You're all sweet, but it's all unnessicary. The criminals been put away and he's not getting out anytime soon."
"You hear that? That fucker tried to rape her and yet she still gives him the title of criminal. She's really a sweetheart isn't she?" They all agreed and downed their beers and whiskey in one shot. Seeing that most of them had drunk themselves stupid, I took all their car keys and called a taxi for each of them. I also put notes in their pockets to come back to the bar for their keys in the morning.
Seeing that everyone had either mysteriously disappeared or gone home, I finished up the bar and stacked all the chairs. A knock on the wooden door drew my attention from the bar stool causing me to drop the stool with an obnoxious metallic clatter on the ground.
Dressed in faded jeans and a plain white t-shirt, Will looked somehow very dashing. He could probably make rags look hot if he tried.
"You're kinda burning the midnight oil, aren't you?"
"It pays the bills and it helps pay the expenses of living with Jessamine." I commented as I placed the stool on the table properly...again.
"I sent Jessamine home. So, I'll be driving you. She was passed out in the drivers seat of her car. I woke her and sent her home without you."
"Thank you, Will."
I turned by back to Will and I felt the air thicken like jello. I had forgotten about the bruise on my back from the other night. It blossomed in shades of purple and blue and laid in the middle of my back. I had covered it with my jacket, but after everyone left I just didn't care. But now Will had seen it. The bruise had sunk deep into the muscle and that made it hard to get dressed, much less move the whole arm.
I threw the rag on the back counter of the bar and grabbed my things before trapsing over to Will.
"You know that you didn't have to work tonight. With everything that happened to you and your shoulder, you should have rested."
"My shoulder's fine."
A skeptical look crossed his face, "Okay, then. Lift your arm all the way up and reach for the sky, Tessa."
I began to raise it slowly then a flash of pain ran through my arm. Dull and unpleasent.
"Fine? Really, Tessa?"
"Okay so I can't quite lift my arm yet, but I will. Just give me a few days."
"Okay, but I'll be making sure you're not over working yourself."
"Alright, Doctor Herondale. Ready to go home?"
"After you."
He opened the door and swept his arm out like an old English gentleman. Charming.
The ride home was quite and somewhat awkward. I hadn't said anything on the terms of "LOVE" to Will since that morning. I avoided the subject entirely. I had spilt my heart out and I guess I still haven't adjusted to the feelings inside yet. Yes. It's true that I love him and I want more from him than just his kiss, but I can't tell him that.
The sudden stop of the car snapped me out of my thoughts and it made me realize that we were no where near the apartment building. Will cut the engine and unbuckled his seat belt and turned his attention to me.
"Tessa, talk to me. You've avoided me since the other day. Is this about what happened in the morning?"
"Will.. no.. I-I've just been stressed and thinking about a lot lately. And about that morning, for me it was a little embarressing being in the state I was in infront of you."
"I understand that, but Tessa, you have nothing to be embarressed about. You are a flawless being. Skin soft like silk and the figure of a goddess. It was so beautiful. And when you told me that you loved me, I felt my heart pound wildly. The woman I love told me that she loves me to. I waited for what seemed like years to hear those words from your lips. You're soft tender voice saying those words couldn't be more angelic."
Will's words hit home for me. I lost control of my actions and my thoughts the last thing I remember was the click of my seatbelt and climbing into Will's lap before I tangled my fingers in his hair and kissed him deeply with tears running down my cheeks.
A/N: So very short yes, but the next chapter holds a lot and I can't just start this and not finish it in one chapter so I had to cut it here. Sorry ^^;;;
I love you all! Thanks for reading! Comments and reviews are forever welcome in my realm! PEACE.
