Will found himself buttoning the buttons on his dark blue shirt with more enthusiasm than normal. After, he smoothed down the top, smiling as he did so. It was a normal- simple- blue button up shirt. However, he made sure to make it look perfect like it was more than that. After all, it was all for the girl he loved. He was preparing himself all for Tessa.

Once he decided that his attire was good enough, he went to his dresser where he kept all of his colognes and picked the one that he still had from two years ago, when he first met Tessa. As Will applied the cologne on him, he thought about the first time he and Tessa kissed, the day when his life changed forever.

The day was a Friday, it was nighttime and Tessa had come over to his dorm. Summer break had come, most of the students had already left to return back to home- or wherever they went- and some stayed on campus for either summer internships or summer programs and classes. Tessa's roommate had left and that particular night, she had not wanted to stay alone in her won dorm.

Therefore, at precisely nine o' clock, Will opened the door for Tessa when she knocked. He had been surprised to see her, yet happy at the same time. She looked beautiful even in her pajamas. Tessa wore pants with rainbows on them and a Harvard university t-shirt that looked two sizes too big for her slender torso. Her hair lay lazily around her shoulders and that time, all Will wanted to do was run his hands through it.

His eyes drifted down to the cardboard game- Candy Land-, bowl of popped popcorn, and three movie cases that she held. She also had a bag on her shoulder and he guessed that she had more goodies in it; a sudden want for gummy bears and sour worms welled up within Will.

"Hi, there's no one left in on my dorm floor and I heard creaks and moans." Tessa ducked under his arm and went into his room. "I am very much afraid of ghosts and I do not desire to be alone in my dorm at this time. Do you mind if I stay for a while?"

Will desperately wanted to grab her, kiss her perfectly pink lips-, which looked very tempting then- and tell her that she was always welcomed. However, he did not want to scare her away, which only made sense seeing as they only knew each other for about three weeks and been on only five dates. Kissing her would be too much too early. And unlike his other unfortunate relationships, Will wanted to take that one slow and really get to know Tessa.

In saying that, Will got a feeling that letting her stay over, with her perfect pink lips and amazing brown hair, was most likely not the best idea. Nevertheless, he could not say no, in plus, Will was old enough to keep his emotions in check. He cared enough about Tessa not to rush her into anything she did not want.

"Sure, but your only allowed to stay if you brought gummy bears and sour worms. I suddenly have a craving for them." Although Will said that, he knew, deep down that he would let her stay anyway. Either way, he could still go out to the convenience store and get some.

Tessa giggled- embarrassingly warming him right up to the core- and opened the messenger bag that was on her shoulder. As if she were a child opening a Christmas present, she opened her bag, dug in and pulled two packs of gummy bears and one pack of sour worm out. "I figured that since they are packed with a ton of sugar that I would only buy one pack of sour worms." She splayed them out on Will's red comforter. "I figured that one of us would have a craving for these highly unhealthy snacks."

An hour and forty-five minutes later, they finished watching Mean Girls-, which Tessa unfortunately made him sit through, all of it. However, Will was not entirely focused on the movie. Instead, he was desperately trying to control himself, willing himself not to touch Tessa's bare legs- however perverted it sounded.

She had took off her pajama bottoms and innocently placed them in her messenger bag, leaving her only in her too big Harvard shirt and a pair of pajama shorts that covered her bottom, but left her silky legs exposed. Without knowing what she was doing to Will, she sat on the bed next to him and began to eat the snacks she brought.

"What movie next," Tessa asked, getting up from the bed and picking the up the two other movies that she had brought, which were on Will's dresser. The choices were The Conjuring and Zombieland-, which Will had found surprising, he did not know Tessa was into that movie. She then went on to tell him that at one point, she had a huge crush on Jesse Eisenberg and had an overwhelming desire to write Fanfiction about him and Emma Stone.

Will averted his attention from her long legs and blurted out an answer. "Put in Zombieland, I could use some gore in my life."

After Tessa put the movie in and walked over to the bed, she looked at Will and raised an eyebrow. She had caught him staring at her. He was admiring how elegantly she walked, as if she were from the nineteenth century or something. He had also be appreciating just how beautiful the shape of her face was, how her chin was pointed and her cheeks hollow and smooth looking. Will was so wrapped up in admiring Tessa that at first he did not realize that he had been caught.

"Will why-"He could not do it anymore. She looked utterly breathtaking in that moment and he could not push his feelings down anymore. He decided that he would just have to deal with the consequences after he gave in to his temptation.

Therefore, he hopped off the bed and in one stride; his body was flush up against hers. His hands found themselves cupping her face and in one swift motion, his head bent down and grasp her soft lips with his own. And for a second their lips colliding with a bruising force. The kiss was hot and desperate. He was letting his emotions take over and he knew that he should not be going so fast and should not be so rough; he somehow knew that this had to be her first kiss.

However, he was so caught up on how soft and good her lips felt. And he could not help but indulge in such a sweet feeling. As he began to move his lips against hers, he felt her hands grab the front of his shirt and pull him closer.

Another second later, Will pulled away and looked at Tessa's wonderful gray eyes. Satisfaction was evident in them and she looked more than happy. Her lips were swollen and red; Will hungered to kiss them again.

"I was waiting for you to do that," She whispered, pulling him down for another kiss. He obliged and let her pull him down, they were then kissing with the sound of zombies in the background.

Will's tongue then delved into her mouth, invading her sweetness. He soaked it up and relished in the delicious taste of her. She tasted of gummy bears, sour worms and –oddly- strawberry. She moaned and welcomed the invasion, causing hot desire to well up in Will's stomach.

She pulled away and smiled up at him, her lips even more red and swollen. "You taste of gummy bears, sour worms and sweet pineapples." Will chuckled and moved his hands to her waist. Tessa sniffed the air and her grin widened. "You cologne is also most likely the best thing I've ever smelled in my life- no exaggeration."

He looked at her with mock disappointment and pouted, making sure his bottom lip poked out. "Hm, I thought that I would at least be the best thing you ever smelled." Tessa continued to smile and leaned up to give him a quick peck on the lips. "I guess we both have a distinct taste, because you taste like gummy bears, sour worms, and strawberry."

"I do?" Tessa asked, wrapping her arms around Will's neck, contentedly.

"Yes you do," He answered, bending down for another kiss, not being able to hold back anymore.

Will was brought to the present and sprayed the cologne that he had ignored ever since he and Tessa broke up. He had deliberately disregarded the spray, because it reminded him of her too much. He also avoided any lavender smelling air fresheners, soap, hair shampoos and detergent. He even went as far as to make sure he never came in contact with lavender colored things and even the flower itself- all because it reminded him too much of Tessa.

Will also threw away all the sheets that he and Tessa laid on. He threw away the blue comforter that reminded him of the time he and Tessa played board games on, he threw away the red comforter that he and Tessa had used plenty of times to do certain intimate things on and he threw away many other colored comforters that her lavender smell still lingered on.

Once applying the cologne to his body, Will grabbed his jacket and walked out of his room, excitedly closing the door behind him.

Tessa had thought about asking if Gabriel wanted to come with her to go see Jem, however, she thought against it. It was she and Will's friend date. It was not her, Gabriel and Will's friend date. After all, she did not want to cause any more turmoil than usual between the two. The act of inviting Gabriel would be senseless and idiotic. Tessa was tired of Will and Gabriel going at each other's necks.

Therefore, Tessa texted Gabriel that she was not going to be home but going to go see Jem perform with Will. She had decided to tell the truth, concluding that lying to Gabriel so early in the relationship would be wrong. What person wanted a relationship built off lies? Gabriel certainly did not want that, and neither did Tessa.

After thirty minutes of prepping herself, Tessa walked out of her room and down the stairs. There, she saw that Gideon lay on the couch hugging a sleeping Sophie to his chest. He was watching TV and snacking on a bag of chips- that Tessa did not know they even had, which meant that he got them from somewhere else or Sophie was hiding things. It was most likely the latter since Cecily loved to eat other people's things.

His full attention was on the flat screen, however, when Tessa came down stairs; he turned towards her. Most likely because of the thick-heeled ankle boots she wore that made a very loud sound. She smiled at him, carefully walking so that she did not wake Sophie.

"You look nice, Tessa. Are you going on a hot date with my brother?" Tessa only wore a green skirt, dark green see-through blouse, and a black camisole. She only braided her hair to one side. She looked down and thought about how ordinary her attire was. But, she accepted the compliment and answered Gideon's question.

"Thanks, Gideon, and no, I'm not going on a hot date with your brother. I'm going to go see Jem perform-"she paused before she said,"- with Will."

She did not know exactly what she expected Gideon to say, perhaps that she should instead be going on a date with her boyfriend instead of her ex-boyfriend. However, he merely said, "Oh, well have fun and tell Jem I said do good."

"I will, see you later." Tessa said, walking out the door.

The building that Jem was performing in was small, quant and cozy. It was smoothie joint, where they also happened to sell fruit salad, fruit baskets, tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks at night. It was on the corner, next door a Pharmacy.

It was called Smoothtasticical. The room was a perfect square. The front wall was where the large windows that gave you a view of the London streets sat, window tables and seats were there. When Tessa had arrived, she saw that there couples sitting at the seats, enjoying smoothies, teas, and fruit. The wall to the left contained the counter and behind that was where the drinks and fruit salads were made. It was cute, making Tessa really want a fruit salad and smoothie. The wall opposite it was where couches and other tables were set up. People were there already, laughing and conversing over alcohol, smoothies and tea.

The back wall happened to be the stage and Tessa could already see sat a girl with long platinum blond hair was setting up her guitar. There were also stairs that led to a balcony that wrapped around the room and gave an above view of the stage.

Tessa decided to stay on the ground and soon found an empty couch- or half empty. They was a couple who were passionately making out, not bothering to slow down considering that were in a public establishment. Tessa was going to sit down, but she spotted Jem who had peaked his head out the door next to the stage, which most likely led to the back stage.

Getting much too uncomfortable with the couple who were basically dry humping one another on the couch, Tessa thankfully made her way to where Jem was. He opened the door for her and she went inside.

It was dark until they got to a small, lit room. There were a number of people there, some were reciting lines from a paper- practicing how to say their poem-, others were talking and there people who were fixing their instruments, getting ready to perform.

Jem led Tessa to the back where his bag and violin case was. He smiled at her and then proceeded to give her a hug.

"So glad you could make it. I was afraid you or Will would forget. "Jem said, taking his violin out of its case. He began to prep it. Tessa had always marveled at how stylish his violin looked.

"No, I would never forget; Will wouldn't either. I'm sure he'll be here soon." Tessa said, peaking at her phone and checking for any messages from Will. When she found none, she put it back in her bag.

"So, I would've thought that you would bring Gabriel with you, you know, as a surprise guest of something." He chuckled, curiosity evident in his words. Jem brought the violin to rest on his shoulder, practicing.

Tessa was a little caught off guard by Jem's comment. However, she recovered and said, "No, I told him that I was coming with Will and then he told me that he had something to do with school anyway." She decided to change the subject, not wanting to be stuck on it. "So, what piece- or pieces are you going to play tonight?" It was the perfect subject changer.

Jem began to tell her about how he made up his own pieces and told her that they would no more than two minutes; he was going to play three of the four that he wrote. He seemed passionate and excited about his pieces as he explained to her what they all meant.

A few minutes later, Tessa heard someone announce in the microphone for everyone to take their seats and get ready for the performances. Tessa wished Jem luck, from Gideon too, and hugged him before she left the room and went out the door and back into the room.

Once out, she went to the couch where she had originally chosen to sit and to her gratification, the couple that had been kissing was gone and now another couple was there. Only this time they were not making out, but instead whispering lovingly to one another and occasionally taking sips of their teas.

Tessa smiled at them and sat down. Just as the first performer began to play her guitar and sing, she took out her phone and began a text to Will.

Tessa: Jem is the third performance. Why aren't you here yet?

Will: Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.

Tessa rolled her eyes.

Tessa: Well hurry up, somebody might try to steal your spot.

"You saved a spot for me? Well how very generous of you, Miss Gray." Tessa turned and watched as Will stood behind her and then came to sit next to her. She rolled her eyes at what he said.

"I'd rather have you sit here than a complete stranger." Tessa crossed her legs and pretended that Will's close presence was not messing her up inside. She focused on the girl who sang and played the guitar until Will whispered something.

"Cecily came, too. She and Jem were hanging out today and he invited her." Will smirked at her and leaned closer to her. "I think their together."

Tessa could not help but grin slightly. "I doubt that, Cecily would have told me. We're best friends, sisters even."

"Well, apparently she didn't tell you."

Tessa rolled her eyes for what felt like the hundredth time that night and looked at Will's amazing blue eyes. "I don't believe you. I hope you know that." She turned and watched as the girl walked off the stage, not daring to stare at Will any longer.

"Do you believe me when I say that you look utterly breathtaking this evening?" Will whispered into her ear, his lips brushing against her ear, sending shivers through her. He lifted his hand and flicked the collar of her shirt.

However, before she could retort something back to Will, Cecily came up and sat next to her, bringing her own chair. Meanwhile, somebody had walked on the stage and began reciting a poem about nature.

"Hey, Tessa," Cecily greeted before adding, "You look nice."

Will grinned and out his hand on Tessa's thigh. "See, you do look beautiful."

Tessa removed his hand and thought about how long the night was going to be.

Concluding that neither Tessa nor Cecily wanted to go back home- where Gideon and Sophie were most likely "doing the deed"- Jem had proposed that everyone go back to him and Will's place. Will agreed, Cecily agreed and Tessa hesitantly agreed.

Cecily and Jem piled into his car and Tessa and Will piled into his car. The whole ride consisted of Will and Tessa talking marveling at how good Jem sounded and that he should have more opportunities to display his incredible talent. And for once, in a long time, Tessa found their conversation not at all awkward. It reminded her of the time when they were together. And Will never made any advances toward her and did not tell her of his feelings.

Finally, they ended up at his place and upon walking in; Jem announced that he was going to make tacos. Cecily agreed and walked into the kitchen with Jem, bounding was more like it.

Will announced that he was going to get something out of his car and Tessa went to the bathroom.

However, as she made her way to the bathroom, she passed Will's room, stopped and went back. The door was closed, but cautiously she opened, not really knowing why.

When she did not hear Will come back into the house, she opened it all the way and stepped in. She was immediately hit with a wave of Will. She smelled the remarkable cologne he wore and she smelled him. She was then hit with memories of being in that room. After sophomore year, he had moved from his dorm to a place off campus with Jem.

And was that room where they shared the most intimate moments and where they laughed and were happy together. It was like their own sanctuary, it was where Tessa had felt home.

She walked over to his bookshelf and ran her fingers lightly across the spines, closing her eyes and inhaling the scent of books that she had become so used to. A smile crept across her face as she reminisced about the many hours that were spent on his bed reading books, sometimes aloud to one another and sometimes in their heads.

That was when she found on of her Captain Underpants book that she had gotten for five cents at a thrift store with Will after one date.

She had been looking for a book. When she was younger, she had gotten the whole collection- she was obsessed- except for one particular book, the first one. Finally, at a thrift store that sold only items under ten dollars, she found it in a section called: American Children's Books. Will had looked at her crazily and she began to tell him her story of being obsessed Captain Underpants books.

And for months she had been frustrated at the fact that she had lost it. However, she found it, only she was not irritated at Will. Instead, she found it extremely funny that Will kept her book. Was he reading?

"Get your hands off that Captain Underpants book, Tessa Gray." She turned around and saw Will standing there with a huge grin on his face. Never mind the fact that Will caught her in his room, she hugged the book to her chest.

"Why did you keep it? I've been looking for this for book, and for a while now."

Will began to walk towards her. "That's for me to know and you to never find out."

Tessa laughed and hopped onto the bed, intending to go across so that the mattress separated her and Will. Nevertheless, Will was quick, had jumped on the bed, and grabbed Tessa. They both fell, Tessa consequently landing on top of Will, her hands on either side of his face.

She had not realized that they were in a comprising position, but instead tried not to let Will take the book from her. They were acting as if they were young children and as if Tessa had grabbed the last Captain Underpants book from the library.

Will then decided to tickle her, a very bad idea. Soon, Tessa was laughing uncontrollably and the book was then in Will's hand. He smiled at her triumphantly and Tessa placed her hands back on either side of his head. Tessa was breathing hard and she began to formulate a plan in which to get her book back.

However, Will obviously recognized their position and looked down at Tessa's legs straddling his waist. Tessa looked down and soon realized just wrong the position was. She made to get up, but Will placed his hands on either side of her waist. He held her there.

She sat up, causing Will to sit up too. Without grasping exactly what she was doing, Tessa wrapped her arms around his neck and began to breathe same air he breathed. She welcomed the smell and fell of his minty breath.

"Kiss me," Will whispered, his head moving closer to hers. "Just please break up with Lightworm, why are you still trying to figure out your feelings for him?" He sighed, and placed his lips on hers, not moving them, but feeling instead.

Maybe she should just break up with Gabriel. However, they had just started going out, she had said to Gabriel that she would give them a chance.

"Why do we always end up in these compromising positions? Why do we do this to one another?" Tessa asked, desperately wanting to know the answer.

"I don't know."

Cecily was helping Jem with the chicken- because they knew that both Will and Tessa loved chicken tacos- when she saw Will come into the house. He began to go up the stairs and Cecily knew that they were up there. Maybe her plan would work.

She told Jem that she was going to get something from the car, washed her hands and left the kitchen. Cecily opened and closed the door, acting as if she were actually going outside. She then proceeded to tip toe across the room and made her way to Will's

After waiting a few minutes, Cecily got closer to Will's room and peeked in. Will lay under Tessa; his hands on her waist. Tessa sat atop him, straddling his hips, her hands wrapped around his neck.

Cecily knew she was being mean, evil even. However, Tessa was doing this to herself. She was fraternizing with her boyfriend's enemy. She was messing around with somebody who was not her partner, and she continued to do it repeatedly.

It was not fair to Gabriel, Will or Cecily. Gabriel could be having a true relationship with her instead of looking like a fool being with Tessa.

Therefore, Cecily pulled out her phone and went to her camera. Knowing that she would probably regret this later, Cecily took a picture.

She opened the messages and clicked on Gabriel's contact name. She put the picture in and typed something.

Cecily: I'm sorry, I just thought you should know what's happening.

Most likely Gabriel would confront Tessa about it, break with her and tell her that Cecily had sent her the picture. Tessa would then be mad, but Cecily could handle it. After all, at least Gabriel would be free from being in a relationship built on complete and utter lies.

A/N

Intense, so Cecily's an evil girl. But when she believes in something, she sticks to it. Sorry for her OOC personality, I know she would never do that it in the books, but I decided to spice things up a bit.

I'm back! And until the end of the summer, or at least until school starts. I hoped you liked this chapter and I hope that it's satisfactory and can keep you interested for the next two weeks.

Yes, two weeks. I will be away for one week for a sports competition and another week spent with my sister at her house. I won't be able to bring my computer, but I can bring my tablet, so hopefully I can write. And if my sister's computer works I can hopefully update.

Also, sorry for the terrible writing, I know I rushed a few things and I know this wasn't a terribly exciting chapter. But I have to pack soon and I felt like I had to put up something. So yeah!

Also thank you guys for the amazing reviews i gotm you pulled me iut my funk!

So, review and tell me what you think and if you want the next chapter. Enjoy your summer!
