"Please Tessa?", his eyes are filled with hope. I can tell he really cares about me.
"Eeuhmm..."
Before I can answer he gets a hold of my cheeks and presses his lips onto mine. I happily kiss him back and I hope he knows that this is my answer.
I get onto his lap and he grabs hold of my butt while I put my hands in his hair. His tongue strikes against my bottom lip asking for entrance. I happily grant him it. My hands slide underneath his t-shirt and he clamps from my touch. He grabs hold of my t-shirt and pulls it over my head. His mouth slowly goes down to my collarbone leaving a trail of sweet kisses. Just as I wanted to take off his t-shirt I hear someone approach. I quickly get off his lap and put on my shirt.
"Oww hey Tessa. I didn't expect you.", aunt Elisabeth enters the living room and is headed towards the kitchen. On her way there she stops and gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"How come you're here?", I look at Jake and give him a look asking to explain.
Jake answers:"Tessa asked me to pick her up because it's raining and I thought you wanted to see her."
"Ow Jake how sweet. Indeed I wanted to see you but unfortunately I have to go to the salon again. Maybe comeback another day?"
I am probably never going to come back here but just to be kind I tell her I'll be back soon.
"I'll bring you home, Tessa."
"Thanks.", I start blushing and put my head down.
We walk to his car and right when I want to put on my seatbelt I feel my phone buzz. It's a text from Iris: Kevin is here and this is so stupid. He doesn't understand anything. I mean how can't you understand it. It's the easiest part. Anyways are you doing okay you seemed upset today?

Maybe there's love in the air?? You two would look cute together. And yeah I'm doing great I'm just having a bad day.

Girl please!? No! Gross! Maybe you should invite Oliver to 'study'?;)) When I read this text I start laughing out loud.
"What's  so funny?", Jake looks at me and smiles.
"It's just something Iris said, you wouldn't understand.", I say smiling.
I'm serious! And if I'm going to invite him it's only going to be to study. I quickly type this text back.
"Let me see.", I hesitate if I should show him but he's probably not going to get mad about it, I hope. I show him the text and his face expression immediately changes. His got a frown on his face and looks confused.
"Who's Oliver?", he asks a little angry.
"He's my classmate, I'm supposed to tutor him for math.", I say softly.
"Hmm"
"Look, I'm not going to do anything else than tutor him. I... I think I love you too.", I see his lips curl up into a smile.
"What? I didn't hear that.", really you didn't hear that. Are you kidding me.
"I'm not going to say it again. You should've listened better."
"He starts laughing loud. "I heard you, I just wanted to.. hear it again."
"Oww okay."
He puts his hand on my knee and starts 'drawing' circles on it with is thumb.
I take is hand and just hold it. It feels so good being with him again.

After awhile he stops on my driveway and tells me to stay seated. He steps out of his side and runs to mine. As a real gentleman he opens the door for me. He pulls me into a hug and gives me a quick kiss before anyone sees. It's still kinda weird that we're together because he's still my cousin.
"We're together now?"
"I hope so!", he looks down at me and gives me a sweet kiss on the top of my nose. I give him one last hug and go inside more happy than ever.
"Ow darling!! I was so worried! Where were you?", I hear moms worried voice behind me. I turn around and see her walk up to me with open arms. She hugs me so tight I can barely breath. She's literally overreacting. I am like only one hour late or something.
"Relax mom I was at aunt Elisabeth's.
"Well why didn't you call then?"
"Uhmm... because I didn't think that was necessary.", please I'm 16. In my head I roll my eyes.
"Of course that's necessary."
"You could've called me too you know."
"Well... I didn't find my phone.", oh my gosh! It's the 21st century people. I literally take my phone everywhere.
"Ughh, I'll call you then."
"Okay sweetie.", now she's happy again? What do people have with mood changing every time.
I then realize I still have to give Oliver a tutoring lessen.
"Oh mom...  can Oliver come over? He's a boy from my class and I'm supposed to tutor him."
"Uhmm... sure but no kissing, touching and do not close the door from your room."
"MOM!! What do you think we're gonna do?", I start laughing and so does she.
"Nothing. It's just... you're growing up so fast.", I take her into a hug and we stay like that for a while. It feels good hugging her. I feel safe and it feels like home. I know I'm at home but I just need it sometimes.
"Okay I gotta go. I'll send him a text to come over."
"Oh and ask him if he wants to stay for dinner. Maybe he's boyfriend material?", she wiggles with her eyebrows and I roll with my eyes. Should I tell her I'm already in a relationship? Nahhh.
I take my phone for the millionth time today and go to my texts.
Eeuhm, I was wondering if you'd want to come over today so I can already start helping you for math or anything else?

Hyee, sure I'll be there in a half hour. Where do you actually live?😅

Maddelinea street 58

Okay I'll be there.

Oww and this may sound weird but my mom is wondering if you would want to stay and eat?😅😂

I think I'll stay at home to eat but thank your mom anyways.😅

Okay no problem

When I see his message I am relieved. I'm really not looking forward for an awkward time during dinner. I clean up my room a bit because it's messy. I also decide to put on a legging and a top. I throw my wet clothes together with my gym clothes in the laundry.

Just as I finished putting my hair up I hear the doorbell. I go downstairs and open the door.
"Come in.", I say. This is such an awkward moment. He takes off his shoes and coat and follows me upstairs.
"I think we can start off with math and if you have any other subjects you have questions about, we'll do them afterwards."
"Sounds good."
I start explaining math and it's actually good that I'm doing this.
That way I can 'restudy' these things too. He's surprisingly really good at math. I don't know why I'm tutoring him. After we finish he doesn't have any other questions so we just talk for the 20minutes we have left. He's actually a very nice guy. The more I get to know him the more I start to like him. As a friend of course. Jake is the only man in my life now.
I learn that he has one younger sister and that his hobby is playing football. He also likes playing PlayStation. He explained me some games but I didn't get any of that.

When it is time for him to leave I give  him a kiss on the cheek to say goodbye. It's also dinner time so I go the dining room and wait for everyone to join.
Luckily mom doesn't say a thing to dad about Oliver coming over, or we would have to hear a whole speech about which kind of boy is good or bad for me. And I'm relieved that today actually didn't turn out that bad except this morning but that's almost forgotten I guess.
This day felt like the longest day ever, so I go to bed early. I quickly send a picture of my face to Jake saying goodnight before going to bed.
