TESSIE'S POV Helping out at Ava's mother's cafe had it's advantages. Some included getting free meals or drinks and sometimes even money. That day however, neither of those were appealing enough to keep me focused on the job. Instead of helping, I was doing much worse than just idling around gossiping.I was on my third strip of the mistakes I had done that morning that even Ava's mother was beginning to get uneasy. I placed the tray on the counter with a half spilled coffee sighing heavily. "Why don't you take a break and get some air outside, Tessie dear. Maybe some sun? I hear the morning sun can be a perfect healer."How could I tell that that I didn't need healing? I needed to kick Jace's ass and hurl every insult I knew on him, perhaps take out my anger on him and if I was lucky, somehow get to forget about Evan and the session we had shared. I closed my eyes trying to push the image of our closeness away as it fought to stand rooted in my head. "Te

AVA'S POV "Shit!"I crumbled my notebook unconscious and cursed myself closing my eyes the moment Jace disappeared into the back. Why did I have to be so awkward and so easily affected? Him with his perfect smile, his perfect gorgeous eyes that seem to always be flirting, his muscles... Which teenager worked out that much?It was hot. He was hot and always spreading that heat onto me whenever he was around. Why couldn't he just notice me and my mad crush on him? I sighed heavily and opened my eyes only to find my Mom watching me. I jumped back in surprise. "Geez Mom! How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough to feel your pain," she stated. "Why are you torturing yourself so much over him?" "Him?" I scoffed. "Why would I do that?" "Yeah, right." She squinted her eyes at me. "The way to a guy's heart is so easy sweetheart. And there are plenty of them if one doesn't realize what's right in front of their eye

TESSIE'S POV The moment he pointed out his bedroom, I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him inside, claiming his lips again. I didn't stop, I didn't want to. Every brain cell I had was leading me here, vengeance.I took off my shirt and wrapped my hands around his neck, brushing my body against him. I felt his hands close in on my butt hesitantly. Was what I was doing right? Maybe not but it would give me a sense of equality. There was no way I was going to let Jace take advantage of me like that.In bed, I reached for his belt and started unbuckling it. Just before I could manage to, he grabbed my hand. I leaned back in bed staring at him. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He seemed scared. "Aren't you sure it's what you want?" I shot back breathing heavily. "Of course I am, I'm just..." he shook his head. "I just want to make sure you are really ready and you are not rushing into it for som

JASON'S POVI woke up early on Monday morning. My spirits were high which had never been the case whenever I had a big test, especially a maths test. Tessie had helped me study the previous day and for some reason, I understood it more than in school. Having her as my math's tutor was not a bad thing at all.Having her as my girlfriend was however the major bonus and now that I had confessed my love for her, I couldn't be any more happier. We were going to break up with our fake partners. I wouldn't even call them that because we hadn't gone out together for long.I whistled a cheery tune as I help my Mom pack our lunches. Tessie was still upstairs getting ready. "You look... excited," she commented and sat down. "Was the test postponed?" "What? No," I chuckled. "Normally you are always a bundle of nerves. You barely even eat." "Way to be supportive, Mom!" I feigned disappointment. "What if it's different now? Can't I be excited for

TESSIE'S POV Time seemed to stand still as the events unfolded too quickly in front of me. Or did it just speed past to the point I couldn't register? Things had escalated too fast from Evan getting out of the math's test and pulling me into the closet to Jace walking in on us.Evan had been so excited talking about how he nailed that test and how bad he wanted to celebrate because apparently he had studied better because of me. Most of what he had said had gotten past me as I had been working my way to telling him that we couldn't be together anymore. How was one supposed to break up with someone they had only been together with for only over a week? And to add to the complication, I had nothing bad against him.I wouldn't say that I had been forced to go inside that closet with him but I hadn't had much time to stop him. It had happened so fast, him kissing me and me assisting him with my top. God, I was the absolute worst! If anyone called me a slut I wouldn't judge them but in t
