It was Tess's parents 20th anniversary it was being held at the local bar. In fact Tess's brother, James's, best friends' grandmother owned the bar. She had let them have the bar the entire night just for their anniversary party, for free.
Tess and her mom had been planning the party for almost eleven months. There were over 150 people that had been invited almost all of them responded with a yes.
Tess had talk to one of her mothers फ्रेंड्स who makes the most beautiful delicious cakes and asked if she would do one for her parents anniversary. Tess asked her mother what kind of डिज़ाइन she would like so Tess had some kind of idea, though she made sure that it was a surprise and she was so excited for her parents to see it.
"Tess can आप help me with these drinks" David asked. He was the owners son-in-law. He was behind the counter fixing drinks, his wife Jamie had got caught up in a conversation with Tess's mother.
"Sure" Tess smiled knowing that tonight was her parents night, if her mother wanted to spend time with Jamie she was going to let her. Plus Jamie has three boys and a step daughter and watches her two sisters kids often and it can become very overwhelming having seven kids in the house she needs a bit of down time.
Tess knew that extremely well. She had once watched them all thinking it was going to be a piece of cake, she was और then wrong and would never in her life ever do it again unless there was some kind of emergency.
Tess walked past her mom and Jamie and sat down in a स्टूल, मल and took off her heels. She got up and threw them behind the bar.
She picked up a tray and loaded it with six beers and headed to the तालिका, टेबल that sat her father and a bunch of his old friends, including her Uncle John who wasn't her blood related uncle but her fathers best friend.
Tess and her uncle were really close. On her first birthday was when she took her first steps without a hand to hold her and she walked straight to him. They were extremely close but when he got married his wife wanted a perfect wealthy family and banned him from seeing us.
He was in प्यार with her and Tess knew what प्यार could do to a person so even though she was upset about his decision she still loved him and when he decided to divorce her she welcomed him back with a big hug. It's been over three yeas since they divorced and having him back in her life was something she was very grateful for.
She sat the beers down in the middle of the table. "Wow, your father wasn't lying आप grew up to be a beautiful young lady." Tess looked at the man that sat at the तालिका, टेबल with her father. She recognized him but couldn't put her finger on it. "I'm sorry आप look familiar but I can't put my finger on your name. "Mike" her smile faded but caught if quickly before her noticed. She knew exactly who he was and who his son was.
"Oh my god, hi." she faked excitement and hugged him. "Sam is going to be upset with him self that he let आप go and didn't take a chance before आप were taken." she looked at him confused. "Taken?" "Don't आप have a boyfriend?" she gave a little snicker and shook her head. "No, defiantly no." his face lightened up, "Oh." Tess gave him a little hug and a smile and walked back to the bar.
She tossed the empty plastic tray on the counter. "Tess are आप okay sweetheart?" Her mother asked. She smiled a fake smile and shook her head. "Ya, just your husband he's got some weird friends." her mother smiled and gave a little laugh. She gave a little rub on her back and turned back to Jamie to continue the conversation.
The night went on and Tess kept and eye out for Sam but she never saw him. She expected to see him because she had also spotted his mother.
When she was younger Sam and Tess would play together in the summer and they'd play little games and flirt with each other, though at the time they didn't realize it but as they got older Tess started to realize that she had feelings for him. She wasn't sure if he had the same feelings and if he did, did her know what they were या meant.
When he turned thirteen he never showed up the summer like the others, ever since then they haven't see each other. It's been five years and no matter how hard she tries to forget him and tell herself she was to young to feel what she had felt that it was just a mixed up memory in her mind she couldn't let go.
For the first साल that she had gone without seeing him all she wanted to do was see him just to see him smile, it drove her insane; the सेकंड साल she spent most of the summer waiting for him she would find any excuse to go out front and hope that he would ride his bike around the वृत्त and get a glimps of him, it happened only once and it tore her apart because she realize that he was at his grandparents house and he could come over and spend time with her but he didn't. The साल after that she still tried to see him but she spent और time forgetting about him. The साल अगला it didn't even phase her. And now she only has her moments when she feels like she's being torn apart not seeing him. Now that she's older all she wants to do is feel his touch but if that were to happen she's not sure what it would lead to.
So many सवालों lingered in her mind. Did he ever like me and if so does he remember, does he still, if I were to see him again and he had feelings for me would he make a हटाइए या chicken out, या is everything about this all in my head?
The DJ spun a slow song, I Swear द्वारा All-4-One. Tess's father came up to her mother and asked her for the dance as he held out his hand here mother smiled and took it graciously. Tess smiled as they walked to the dance floor.
"I've never seen your father that smooth before." Shauna said. Abby, Kate, Amanda and Shauna had walked over and sat down on the stools and watched the couples dance. They laughed at Shauna's little remark.
"Excuse me, may I have this dance." Tess looked up and there he was. His dark brown hair longer then she remembered, his dark चॉकलेट eyes still as mysterious as the lat time she looked into the, and he was no longer cute but handsome. He held his hand out and with out thinking she took it and he led her to the dance floor.
"You look even और beautiful then I remember." Tess smiled and looked up at him. "Thats because I'm not a little girl anymore." Sam just stared at her a little smile barely visible on his lips showed. His head shook very lightly as he replied. "No आप not." Tess wasn't expecting him to say anything like that she was expecting a jack-ass remark, like he has always done but it never happened. He defiantly wasn't a little boy anymore.
"Why did आप ask me to dance anyway? I don't remember आप ever अभिनय like this towards me." this time his smile was completely visible, it made her stomachs flip a couple times. "I've changed, I realized around junior-high that girls don't like guys that talk down to them and treat them like nothing." Tess gave a smile of amazement and surprise. "and the reason I asked आप to dance is, because in truth, I just really wanted to hold you. I've missed आप and it's, in it's own way, been killing me."
Tess couldn't believe she was hearing this. Was this a prank, the only person that knew about the whole Sam thing was Shauna and she would never betray her like that.
"I'm serious Tess, I've missed you. I've missed your smile, I miss making आप smile, I miss hearing your voice, I even miss आप punching me when I say something stupidly ridiculous." she smiled at the last one. "Well आप we're really good at doing that."
They paused for a सेकंड as Tess laid her head down on his shoulder and his arms tightened around her. "Sam, did आप request the song?" she felt a little laugh come from his chest. "Still incredibly smart I kind of expected that to stay. Ya, I did." Tess hugged her arms around his neck tighter. "Very good choice." "I thought so."
The song was fading and the upbeat rhythm of some 80s song from her mothers playlist began to play, breaking the mood. "Sam come on its ready." Tess's brother said. James, and Brody, Sam's brother, came over and tugged on him before they had the chance to let go of each other. "I was in the middle of something." Sam कहा staring directly at Tess. "It's okay, go have fun I'm not going anywhere any time soon."
The three boys started to walk away and Tess headed for the bar to sit back down with her फ्रेंड्स when a warm hand hugged the चोटी, शीर्ष if her arm and spun her around.
Soft warm lips collided into hers. Without a thought of what she was doing या what was happening she wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms grasped her hips. Their lips moved in a perfect rhythm together in perfect sync. They were getting लॉस्ट in each other as there किस became hot and और intense. Tess felt him begging for more, he didn't have to ask twice.
She could tell that he had wanted this just as bad as she did. It's like they had been two north magnetics and they couldn't seem to touch each other. One सेकंड they were being pulled away and then in the अगला सेकंड they were no long two norths but a north and south, smashing themselves together after a long and tiring struggle.
He tasted so sweet and warm. His arms had now wrapped themselves around her entire wast and back almost reaching the front of her. His arms were tight and strong around her and for the first time in a very long time she felt सुरक्षित and normal, and everything felt right.
But then Tess being Tess hit reality and started over thinking. What if this was only a one night thing, what if this was never going to happen again if he was just in a weird mood.
Sam slowly pulled away just a little and leaned his forehead against hers. "I'm not going to be stupid and let आप EVER get away from me again and if आप try to slip threw my fingers I'll fight to hold onto you, because I प्यार you, I always have."
He unwrapped his arms from around her and cupped them ever so gently around her face and kissed her forehand. He slid his hand down her left arm as he backed away holding her hand he raised it giving it a kiss, smiled and turned around, walking out the back door where the boys had been pulling him to.
Tess smiled to herself and she realize that she had finally found the missing puzzle peace that had disappeared from her दिल five years ago, she finally felt normal and whole again and it felt magical.
Tess and her mom had been planning the party for almost eleven months. There were over 150 people that had been invited almost all of them responded with a yes.
