Author's Note: I wrote this story mostly because I had nothing better to do, and I was inspired by vonderful video called "Next To You" (hence why its story's title). It's yet another Mine Verse story (what a surprise) mostly based on random Scott's musings. Thanks to Jade who edited it, I love you, girl. Thanks to people who will read it. Also huge thanks to tsskate (sorry I don't know your real name) and Liz who encouraged me to post this story, it's dedicated to you both. <3 Reviews are welcomed, loved and greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!
Disclaimer: This story is not real, it's fiction. I don't know Tessa & Scott, their families personally, though I'd like that a lot. Everything what you will read below is my pure imagination.
P.S. Check out wonderful video made by Liz. ;D
Next To You.
The bright sun shining through the window of my bedroom announced that the long, cold winter is giving was way to the spring - warm, fresh and colorful. The bright light shines directly onto two tangled together bodies in one bed. White crumpled sheets, a pillow lying on the floor, one corner of blanket barely covering my legs. My feet are cold and in any other circumstances I would have gone and found socks, but not this time. Right now I’m too mesmerized by the beauty lying next to me to even notice that. A few stray strands of her long, dark hair falls in her face and I carefully reach out to brush them away, to hide her beautiful face from my eyes is a crime. Her left arm tightens around my abdomen, but she doesn’t wake up. My eyes wander down her body where I see one bare leg thrown over my waist. The trees behind my window move in the cool morning breeze casting shadows on her skin and I hold my breath. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything or anyone as beautiful as she is right now. Not being able to resist I reach out, wanting and needing to feel the softness of her skin. I run my fingertips up her thigh so slowly and carefully...she looks so fragile that I’m scared I'll break her. My hand stops when I feel the fabric of my gray shirt which she is wearing. My palm flattens against her left hip where it stays. She moves once again, probably trying to find a comfortable position. She tucks her head under my chin and I can’t help but smile. Her pillow is lying on the floor, that’s why she has decided to use me as her pillow. I don’t mind, the softness and warmth of her cheek against my chest feels lovely. At moments like these I feel like the time has stopped. At times like these nothing else matters but us. At times like these I know that for once in my life I’ve done something right. The best decision of my life was to tell her that I’m in love with her. “Oh, Tess, I love you,” I muse to myself as my gaze stays glued to her.
Sometimes I feel like I’m ready to take the next step in our relationship. I’m not talking about marriage here, maybe about moving in together? But as soon as the thought comes, it goes again, we should wait. With us both having our own apartments we still have a place where we can hide, something to make our own little world, inside which nobody else is allowed. I still feel awkward remembering the time when Jordan was staying with Tessa after their cousin’s wedding, without going into details let’s just say that I was glad I had somewhere else to go and didn’t have to face her after that little bedroom incident. I haven’t talked to her ever since, but I’m sure I will soon. I can do it, I’m a man, I can do it...sounds easier than it actually is.
Not every day your best friend and girlfriend’s sister walks in on you when you are naked, so much about sister in the next room with the television on and not hearing anything. She is not mad I’m sure, but she will poke fun at me for the rest of my life which probably is worse than a furious older sibling. It was a lesson learned - when Jordan visits, take Tessa home with you, hence why I need my apartment and other way around. My siblings and parents have habit of visiting me just like Tessa’s. I’m content with the way things are right now, I’m perfectly happy and satisfied, moving in and all that crap can wait until we can keep our hands off each other when there are other people around.
Tessa stirs, ending my train of thoughts. She turns her head slowly and plants an open mouthed kiss on my neck, then props her chin on my chest and opens her big, beautiful eyes to look at me. I flash her a small smile and she returns the favor. She removes her arm from around me and runs her hand up my chest until her long fingers wrap themselves around the back of my neck. “Good morning,” her voice is hoarse from the sleep and I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear at the same time when she kisses me.
“Good morning,” I can’t help but smile against her lips and she giggles.
“Were you watching me?”
Of course, I was, but I’m not going to tell her that. It’s my secret. There is no use in telling a lie, she knows me better than anyone else, and sometimes I feel like she knows me even better than I know myself. I stay silent, but she grins and I know that she knows the truth. Tessa doesn’t say anything, she simply presses her lips against mine again and I surrender.
The kiss is not graceful, it’s not like the ones from the movies, it’s messy, needy. Our hands all over each other, but like always - it’s never enough. “Closer, more!” Screams my subconscious, but a frustrated groan leaves my lips when she pulls away, sits up, throws her legs over the edge of the bed and stands up. Did I do something wrong? I cover my face with my both hands and am still, lying on my back breathless.
“What happened?”
“My family is visiting. We have to pick them up at the airport in two hours,” Tessa announces calmly as she gathers her clothes from the arm chair in the corner of my bedroom and heads straight to the bathroom. She says it in such manner as if it is
no biggie, her parents and siblings are coming and I will have to face her sister...Oh dear Lord. I jump out of my bed immediately, ready to go and get ready for the day.
“Why?”
“They want to see us,” Tessa’s voice is muffled because of the bathroom door separating us.
“Are they coming over?” I question, darting around my room as I clean up. In any other circumstances I would laugh at the thought of me running around my bedroom, cleaning up, gathering dirty clothes and cleaning dust wearing only my boxers, but right now I have no time for it. Everything has to be perfect in case the Virtues decide to come over.
I hear a giggle and turn around to find Tessa standing right behind me fully dressed.
“Don’t clean dust with your shirt,” she comments, taking my black t-shirt out of my hand. “I promised them dinner at your place, but we will have enough time to clean up. You will have enough time to clean up, while I will entertain them by taking them sightseeing.”
I make a face, but give up on cleaning. If she says that I don’t have to clean right now then I might as well do it later.
“Is your sister coming?”
She grins knowingly. Of course, how could she possibly forget, the only thing that makes me feel better about the whole situation is that she was there too, just as naked which means we are in the same boat.
“Yes, she is. Come on, Scott, you can’t hide from her forever.”
“I can, if I try hard enough,” I protest, but I know that Tessa is right. I can take that much humiliation, I doubt that she will say something with their parents listening. It’s not much, but it gives me some confidence. Why the hell I’m even bothered I don’t know, maybe because they are like my second family and it’s just awkward. She should have never seen any of that; it was not for her eyes. Of course, nothing in life happens according to plan and she saw it so what...Tessa is right.
“You are right,” I finally agree as she watches me with eyes full of love. We are way over the part where we need to say ‘I love you’ as much as possible, no words are needed, I just have to look at her and I already know.
“Great, go and get dressed mister. We have to leave soon,” she orders gently and I obey. I grab some clean clothes from my wardrobe and march in the bathroom, closing the door behind myself.
I can hear Tessa shuffling in my bedroom, probably making the bed when she finally announces something that leaves me speechless and my jaw drops.
“By the way she told mom and dad.”
In the next moment the door to bathroom flies open and I stand in the doorway, staring at her with disbelief. She stares back at me.
“What?!”
“Exactly what you heard,” Tessa shrugs her shoulders carelessly as she continued to make the bed.
“Is that why they are coming?”
Tessa gives me that sweet, bright smile and laughs. I’m glad she finds it amusing, I, on the other hand, am not amused at all. She walks over to me, wraps her arms around my neck and kisses me. In her arms I’m weak and like always I give in. After pulling away she takes me by the shoulders and turn me around, “Go and get ready, Scott, you don’t want my parents too to see you naked, do you?”
I give her a look, and she rolls her eyes as she pushes me inside the bathroom, “Hurry up, I will make us something to eat.” She says softly, slapping my ass as she turns around on her heels and steps out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her. I, just like she said, don’t waste my time and quickly get to getting ready for the day, after all I really don’t want Tessa’s parents to see me naked.
