New Love (45 page)

"I
t has to dry," he continued up her inner thigh.

He began to blow on her again. She couldn’t stand it.

"You have to stop," she whimpered.

He continued and shook his head no
, keeping his eyes on her body. She saw his jaw tighten, and he went down. She buried her head in a pillow as she came. She sat up and pushed him beside her and straddled him. It was very hard to be quiet, but they managed.

He grabbed one of his tee shirts and helped her put it on. He knelt down and kissed her belly and held out her shorts for her to step into.

"Love you, baby," he whispered.

She applied Aloe to his golden back and chest. They walked out, and everyone was eating. They sat down and ate with them. They talked about their plans for the next day. The kids were excited to go to the water park
the next day.

They arrived home on Sunday afternoon.
Lucas helped them carry their stuff inside and put things away.

“I’
m going to take off,” he kissed her; “I’ll see you tomorrow at about two?”

“I want to go with you and help you ge
t ready for the week.”

“You should probably stay
home; all I’m going to do is laundry. Oh and go for a run a little later, I haven’t done that in awhile. I’m probably going to regret that tomorrow” he laughed.

“Okay” she said softly, “Tex
t when you get home?”

“Of course” he smiled. “See you tomorrow, I love you”

Her phone chimed, and it was him

-I hope not…LL

The week was
busy; Lucas was in Syracuse from nine until two every day and should probably be staying with his team, but wanted to be home. Tessa was helping coach Kendall’s field hockey team and helping Lucas’s mother move. Jade and Ryan would be moving in the house in two weeks.

-

Kendall would be going into ten
th grade and had grown a lot over the summer. She wanted a different style than last year. She was beautiful, tall and thin. Her hair was long and curly like Tessa’s.

They went into the trendy stores and quickly spent the money her parents had given them. Jake wanted to wait for
Lucas, he thought he may know a little more about guy clothes, Tessa agreed.

-Where are you?..LL

-third floor take the elevator we will meet you there…LT

He got off the
elevator; he had just showered and smelled amazing. She hugged him, and he kissed her.

“
You sure about this?”

"Yeah
it'll be fun," Lucas said.

“I don’t know
… Jake wants you to help him pick out stud clothes” she laughed. “I want to take Kendall to get some new underclothes. Lucas… she has boobies now,” she whispered.

He laughed, “Alright you go ahead I got Jake.”

They met back an hour later. Jake had five bags including one from the shoe store. Kendall hid her pink bag inside another bag, she was embarrassed. Tessa winked at Lucas, and he laughed.

"
Lucas bought me the sneakers mom said I couldn't waste money on," Jake announced.

"That was
very nice of him," she scowled at Lucas.

“Tessa bought me some things Mom told me I couldn’t get to,” Kendall said
and Tessa’s face turned red.

“Secret Kendall?”

Lucas laughed and scowled. Tessa hugged him.

“Have you gotten your scho
ol clothes yet Tessa?”

“Not yet
. I figured after I help you unpack Sunday I would come over, retail therapy will help distract me,” she smiled.

“Kendall and Jake, I think we should help her pick out some clothes, what
you think?” he asked.

They went into a couple stores, and anything she tried on that touched her body he said no. He handed her clothes a size bigger than she wore. She came out, and he gave her the thumbs up, and Kendall and Jake laughed.

"Good. I think this is perfect to wear to your games," she said.

“No
, I’ll pick you up some game day clothes, I hope you like orange” he smiled.

They left, and she had a few pairs of jeans and some long sleeved tees. She thought they would be perfect for game days in the chilly fall upstate New York weather.

"You do know I’ll be coming back,” she said to Lucas.

They all laughed. They stopped, and he grabbed some stuff for him. Mostly athletic clothes. They planned to hang out at the Ross’s that night after they moved the rest of
Lucas’s mom’s things.

~

They looked at the empty house, and Lucas smiled.

"Weird t
o have her stuff gone.”

"
Lucas she’s just twenty minutes away," Tessa said and smiled at him.

"I know, and she ha
s been doing really well.”

"It's time for you to worry about what
Lucas needs," she smiled.

“I need on
e thing Tessa, you” he hugged her.

"Food and water to
o," she said laughing.

“Do you know it has been a year Tessa, a year ago
I saw you and knew I needed you? I just didn’t know how badly,” he said softly.

"Th
e white hat boys," she giggled.

“The scowling farm girl who
had no idea how hot she was or how she could change this naughty boy,” he kissed her. “It has been a crazy year Tessa; I wouldn’t have made it without you, thank you.”

“
Lucas thank you. I’m so glad that even though I never would have imagined life could be so perfect even through chaos it’s been, I love you more than I ever imagined possible,” she kissed him.

He picked her up and carried her upstairs.

Saturday morning she woke to a situation and was very annoyed.
Well at least last night was perfect
; his entire house had been used before she returned home.

Her phone chimed, and it was him

-Good morning baby, there is a bag in the back of your Jeep. Grab it there’s an outfit and swim suit for today, text me back and tell me what you think?....LL

There wasn’t a bag, there were three. Two were full of SU apparel, and a note, GAME DAY. Another contained some of the clothes she had tried on t
he day before and he had nixed attached was another note I TRUST YOU, NOT THE BOYS.  The other was obviously for today. A hot pink swim outfit, boy shorts and a halter top with a wrap skirt. A pair of khaki lose fitting wide legged pants and a black tight tank top and a cropped denim jacket.

-
Lucas thank you. I am not sure about the swim attire, I have a SITUATION. Which sucks!...LT

-I will pick you up in an hour, the situation is unfortunate bring the suit anyway. The fact that it SUCKS will make it much easier to deal with, lol…LL

She laughed and showered

-how would you like my hair?...LT

-wrapped around my hands…LL

-I figured since you're now my personal stylist I should ask…LT

- DOWN, and wild…LL

She laughed as she dried her hair and put on makeup.

He pulled in and she ran out. He smiled.

"I do good work," he
hugged her.

“Maybe you’
ve missed your calling,” she giggled and kissed him.

~

They pulled into the driveway and got out. It was loud, and she was nervous.

“Y
ou alright?” he asked.

“Are you?” she held his hand tighter.

They walked through the gate to the pool. There was a ton of people. Jose walked up to them.

“Hey man you made it” he said and grabbed
Lucas’s shoulder, “Who is this?” he said and looked her up and down.

“Jose this is Tess
a, Tessa this is Jose.”

“Oh yes
, the monkey on your back” he laughed referring to the tattoo.

"He’
s on mine to Jose," she laughed.

She turned around and lifted her shirt a bit showing him.

He looked at Lucas and mouthed nice man.

Lucas
smiled “I know.”

Tessa noticed all the girls and immediately became insecure.

“I need to use the bathroom” she whispered to him.

He took her hand, and they went to find it. He waited outside the door for her.

“You okay, Tessa?” he asked when she came out.

"Yes I am fine.”

They walked outside and stood and listened to a bunch of them talk football. She listened and smiled politely. Lucas wasn’t a starter, the senior Miles was. He was pretty nice. He smiled at Lucas and Tessa often. Tessa knew Lucas should be rubbing elbows with the guys and went to grab a drink. She waited in line to get to the cooler. She heard a group of girls talking about the
new hottie quarterback,
and she looked down.

“Hey you’
re new, what’s your name?” one of them said.

"Hi I am Tes
sa," she said and smiled, “hottie new quarterback girlfriend.”

“So you’ll be around a l
ot then,” the brunette smiled.

“Yes, I plan to be.”

“Well then we should all get to know each other, we are each here with our boyfriends” she smiled. “We hope you’re not upset about the hottie new boyfriend thing, we didn’t mean anything by it.” she said “I’m Jenny our hotty old quarterbacks girlfriend.”

“Thank you for the explanation," Tessa said.

"Did you get lost, baby?
" Lucas wrapped his arms around her waist and kissing her head.

“No
-- sorry Lucas, I just met a few people.” she smiled. “Lucas this is Jenny, Miles’ girlfriend, Jenny this is Lucas, hotty new quarterback.”

Lucas
looked confused, Tessa and Jenny laughed.

“Things are good here?”
Lucas whispered in her ear.

Tessa turned around and kissed him, “I think so.”

He held his forehead to hers, “You sure baby?”

She smiled, “Go have fun, I’
ll be fine.”

He stared at her mouth an
d traced his finger on her lips. "We can leave.”

“I can do that later” she smiled.

“Do what?” he said and grinned.

"You never mind," she
pushed him back.

Music started, and Jenny dragged Tessa with her and the girls. They danced and laughed. Tessa liked Jenny, they had fun together. Jenny was from a small town in Ohio and was at SU on a full scholarship. She and Miles both grew up together.

“Can he dance?” Tessa asked.

“What? Miles?
I don’t know?” she laughed.

“Let’s go get them and make them,” Tessa said.

"Oh no, he wouldn't," Jenny said.

“You go get
Lucas, and I’ll get him,” Tessa smiled.

Tessa asked Miles to dance,
Lucas was a bit shocked.

Jenny grabbed
Lucas, “Let’s go” and dragged him out.

Lucas
looked at Tessa dancing with Miles who looked uncomfortable at first.

"I don't dance,"
Lucas said.

“Your girlfriend seems to think you can” Jenny smiled. “Miles doesn’t either.”

"Looks like he can," Lucas said as he saw him spin and dip Tessa.

“I guess he can,” she smiled “Do you mind if I go cut in?”

“No, send Tessa over here” he smiled.

Tessa smiled as she walked up to
Lucas and grabbed his hand dragging him out to dance.
