CHAPTER TWELVE

Theresa Gray

Recap: Alright. I've got a name and a face. Now all I need to do is capture this son of a bitch and make him confess to stalking Tessa.

The initials finally make sense. DeQuincey.

I just made it my personal goal to find this dirty bastard.

Marshall broke my thoughts and told me that it was time for the couples shoot. I saw Tessa waiting for me and that was it. My promise was sealed.

I stood by the tree looking at Will indirectly as the make-up coordinator touched up on my eyes and cheeks. He must have found something out because he was talking to Jem and his expression was completely different from just moments ago. He seemed somewhat normal and then it changed into an expression of discontent and anger.

"Alright darlings, it's time for the couples shoot. We have fabulous single shots of the both of you and you are both perfection on paper. Now all I need from you two is the "icing on the cake" and this will wrap the shoot. This will be the hottest magazine cover that the press has seen in weeks. Lets make some magic!" Marshall clapped his hands together and rubbed them in excitement, I guess... such an enthusicastic man, Marshall.

Will did look exceptional today. His hair was more perfect than usual and he looked so handsome in the white tuxedo. It was like it was made for only him to wear. Even in anger he still managed to look so dashing. I, of course, would probably never tell him that. Well, not anytime soon anyways.

I walked over to Will and took a spot next to him. "I hate to interrupt, but Marshall and the photographers are ready for us Will. It was nice to see you here Jem. The four of us should go out for drink sometime."

"Nice to see you to Tessa. I'll take you up on those drinks sometime." his smile was so soft and genuinly kind. If I didn't have a small thing for will I probably would look at Jem with the same interest as I do with Will.

"Thanks for the favor, Jem. I owe you one. Now go home and go to sleep." Will told his friend with a light squeeze of the hand on his shoulder.

"I will collect and you owe me a coffee when you get back." Jem said playfully, but something told me that he really would end up collecting sometime in the future. "I'll be off then. I'll see you both when you get back to London. It is kinda ridiculous that you were flown out to Japan for this shoot though. Oh well. Have fun you two." He turned and walked away, just as Marshall called for us again.

"Come on darlings. I love you guys dearly, but time is ticking and the plane is leaving in an hour and a half. We don't have all day so lets get this rolling."

"We're coming Marshall," I called to him, then I turned to Will, "You will tell me why Jem was here and what he was doing when we get back home to London." I whispered.

"You'll be pleased, but displeased at the same time at the news, but I planned on telling you anyways. Don't worry about that. Let's go do this shoot. I'm starting to get hungry and all they have here is rice and raw fish. No. I do not eat raw fish."

"Sushi, Will. It's called Sushi and it's really healthy for you. The seaweed is good for the skin and the fish is good too. However, that is irrelevant, let'd go do this shoot and get it over with."

The both of us situated ourselves around the cherry blossom tree like the photographers told us to. We were placed on opposite sides of the tree looking away from eachother and sitting on the ground in an elegant position.

"Alright, loves. Is everything set and are you ready?" Marshall called.

"We're ready. Let's just get this done. I'm hungry." Will commented.

"Don't worry. If there's time we can go to a Japanese resturant for lunch." 'If' I thought to myself. We've been here for 5 hours and he says "if". Not really appreciated Marshall.

"Alrighty. Lets...START!" Marshall shouted. Shots were snapped of us as we sat underneath the tree. We changed our facial expressions a couple of times before the real action occured. Will got up from his position and walked around the tree to me. I had my arm resting on my raised knee in the elegant pose, while looking down when Will stopped in front of me.

I looked up at him with a softly shocked expression. He knelt down and tipped his index finger underneath my chin and lifted it alightly higher to meet my eyes with his. His eyes were soft and ever so very blue. With a fluid grace that I never knew I had, he lifted my head with his chin and my body followed suit. Soon I was standing facing him. Even in heels, I was still slightly shorter than him. I looked into his eyes and felt his hands start turning me around so that my back was against his chest. His voice was low when he spoke in my ear.

"Close your eyes, Tessa." The words were soft, slow and deep. At the command, my eyes fluttered shut and my head lulled off to the side. His strong chest pressed into my back and his hands roamed my clothed figure. He rubbed circles on the curve of my hips and stroked my waist with light brushes of his tips. This feels like he's cherishing me. Like he actually loves me more than I've been lead to believe.

"Tessa.. my Tessa..my sweet darling." Why does he only call me that when we're in this situation? Why never anywhere else?

My arm reached behind me and twined my fingers into his perfectly coiffed hair. So soft and silky. My fingers traced his jawline and felt the strength underneath the soft, smooth skin. No trace of stubble anywhere. Just a smooth spanse of skin.

Will's hands were on my shoulders and sliding along my exposed skin; my collarbone, the curve of my neck. "You're my own personal heaven on this world, Tessa." How can he say things like that and make it sound so real? I have thought about why and guessed that it was so that he could get into "character", but he shouldn't need to say so many thing like this at every shoot.

"Tessa.." I slightly opened my eyes and turned my head and I felt Will's soft lips slant across mine. A small flush spread across my cheeks. This is the first time that I've ever flushed in front of someone. I do blush to myself when I'm not around people, but for me to flush in front of Will like this, is just not possible or like me to do so. I never blushed. Not even when I had been doing the more risque, naughty, improper, racy or however you wish to put it, I DO NOT BLUSH IN PUBLIC...

A small moan slipped from my throat when Will's hand cupped my face and deepened the kiss. The first time he kissed me, I thought that he just did it to try and make me fall in love with him. At first it didn't work, then the later kisses. They changed how I thought about will. He was very "talented" when it came to that particular skill. I thought of myself as a very average kisser but, Will... When I kiss him, I can feel more..alive. He brings out all the life from my soul that I didn't know I had.

When he first kissed me, he was just William Herondale, a player who wanted nothing more than to get into my panties. In this kiss, he became Will, a man that was by my side even when I didn't want him to be; he was Will, all man and actions and strength and impulses; Will: a man that I never thought I could love.

Will: the man I do love and that's all there is to it. Nothing more...

Will Herondale

When I felt Tessa relax into the kiss, I knew what I felt. I knew what she felt. I could tell that she was in love with me. It's not the first time I've felt someone so relaxed when it came to my kiss, my touch. I had one other girl who I loved as much as I love Tessa. She died years ago, and I had never felt another "spark" like this since her.

At first I would have thought "Hell yeah, this girl is going to be an amazing fuck", but she changed me. She changed me for the better and no where near for the worst. She's brought sunshine into my life. I am absolutely determined to make her happy in every way possible. If that means that I dedicate the rest of my life to helping her catch this stalker, then that's what I'll do.

I will never see this woman in tears because of any of these stalkers again. I will see her smile. I will see her laugh at the jokes that are funny and the stupid things I do. I'll watch her expressions change as my actions of affection fall from my mind and out through my body onto her. I loved Tessa and I never doubted that from the moment that I fell for her during that one photoshoot. She had become my everything. I will keep her this time. I'm not going to lose her. She's not going to go anywhere without me. Not again.

I pulled away from the kiss after coming back to reality and I saw the most amazing thing. Tessa had a pink flush crawling up her soft cheeks, I softly smiled down at her and ran my thumbs over her cheeks. They were so warm, so soft. I pressed a soft kiss to her warm cheek and felt her release a shuttery breath. She shivered under the touch of my lips on her skin.

"Tessa?" I whispered softly..

"Yes?"

"I-" I was cut off by the most annoying thing in the world. MARSHALL

"Fabulous my darlings! Absolutely sensational! You two seem like the most real couple in the world. Job well done. Now lets get changed and pack up the equipment. The plane leaves in a half hour. LETS MOVE PEOPLE!" Marshall ordered..

I swear one day that man will be the death of me and my sanity. I almost told Tessa how I felt about her and then...BAM! he goes and ruins the moment. The oppertune moment was here and now it's gone...

Thanks Marshall... "=3=

Tessa and I were pulled back to our "changing rooms" and redressed in the clothes we came in. Yeah, the shoot clothes were nice, but damn they're not comfortable to travel in... not at all...

A little bit later, we were heading back to the airport and got on the plane for the ride back to London. The change of scene was nice, but not the fact that I couldn't understand a damn thing that those people were saying to me in Japanese, was enough for me. I wanted to hear English again. Not Japanese..

On the plane ride home, I found Tessa falling asleep in her plane seat. She looked so peaceful while sleeping. An angel placed on earth for me to love as my own. She was perfect in every way. She had experenced most of what life had to offer. She has been the things this world is capable of; the good and the bad. I loved that about her. She is beauty personafied.

Even when she acts like she doesn't care, I can see just how much she really does. I want nothing more than to have mer as my own. To be able to say that I love her and she loves me. I want to be able to wipe away her tears when we put that damned bastard behind bars once and for all. Hell, I even want to wait down at the end of the aisle for her, but maybe not for a couple more years maybe.

My phone vibrated in my pocket with a text message. My heart stopped when I read the message from Jem. They were able to get a picture of the suspects face and it's made it to every police station and into the papers. No one in the country wouldn't know about this man. They would know his face. He could never again walk the streets without being caught ot recognized by someone.

I caught you, you little bastard. I'll make you pay for everything you ever did to my angel.

I was able to sleep the rest of the way home in peace knowing that we had this man trapped and a man can only go without coming out of his hole for only so long. He'll show his face and when he does, I'll destory him on the spot.

A/N: Well, the suspect is aboslutely screwed... I know Will's part is really short and dingy, but I'll probably go back and see if I can fix anything later. I hope you all aren't too upset with me and general stupidity. But I know this was like forever ago, But HAPPY BIRTHDAY Julia Brown. Please accept this chapter as my sincere thanks for reading, a gift, and an apology for not getting it up before your birthday. I love you all.
