"How about we go for a bath, it will be relaxing for you?"
"That sounds great" I reply back and Hardin goes into the bathroom and starts running the bath for us.
...
It's now Wednesday, me and Hardin just got back from campus. I am making dinner for us. Hardin decided he wanted sweet and sour chicken so that's what I'm making.
I'm in the kitchen, I have cooked the chicken and now I am cutting up the vegetables for it.
"Umm Tess weren't you best cutting the vegetables when you cut the chicken?" he asks as he comes over to me and wraps his hands around my waist.
"I was thinking that too but oh well" I say and he laughs into my neck and gives me a kiss on my neck
I am nearly done with the vegetables when we hear a knock on the door. I turn around and look at Hardin and we both look confused as to who could be at the door.
"I'll get it, you carry on cooking" Hardin says to me
I nod and turn around continuing cooking till Hardin comes into the kitchen looking confused and then Zed follows behind him.
"Umm Tess Zed has just got told me he is moving into the dorm"
"What wait?"
"I was on the list for a dorm because I was getting fed up living in a frat house. I got a call from the college people saying there was a dorm available, I had no idea when they told me it was your guys dorm" Zed tells us
"Why would they tell you it was this dorm when we share this one?"
"They said that there was one other person in the dorm I was sharing with" Zed says
"This makes no sense" Hardin adds
"I think we should go down and speak the people in the office" I say to Hardin
"Yeah lets do that, we will be back soon Zed" Hardin says
"That's fine, I'm sure it's a mistake on either me or their behalves"
Hardin and I leave the dorm and go down to the office.
"Hi, I'm Hardin Scott I live in dorm B.22, I think there has been a confusion as Zed has come into our dorm saying he is living there but my girlfriend Tessa Young we share the dorm."
"Let me check for you guys what has happened" the office lady replies.
A few minutes later and she has finished her searches
"It says here that in dorm B.22 Hardin and Zed should be living in there, no Tessa. It does say that Tessa left the dorm on Monday evening"
"That makes no sense, I haven't left at all" I say to the women
"Let me check more into it"
"Okay thanks"
A few seconds later,
"It says that payments from a Carol Young had stopped as of Monday and that Tessa would have left immediately on the Monday"
"She has actually cut me off" I say and face Hardin, with the tears about to spill from my eyes.
"Oh god Tess I'm so sorry"
"Is there anything else I can do to help you?" the women asks
"No, that's all thanks. Hardin says to her and pulls me in for a hug and we leave the office.
"She has cut me off, she has left me with nowhere to live '' I say and tears stream from my eyes and Hardin tightens his arms around me.
"Baby I am so sorry"
After a few minutes we went back up to the dorm.
"Did you figure it out" Zed asks as we enter the apartment
"Umm yeah it's confusing but Tess no longer lives in this dorm so we do now share the dorm" Hardin replies
"I'm sorry about this Zed I will move my stuff as quick as possible for you to move in" I say to him
"Oh no it's fine Tessa, I can stay at the frat house for longer"
"Thanks" I say to him
"I will text you when you can start to move your stuff in" Hardin says to Zed
"Yeah that's fine, I am sorry about this" Zed says
I just nod to Zed as Hardin shows him and locks the door behind him. He then comes back into the kitching where I'm sitting on the island seat.
"Oh baby" Hardin says and pulls me into his arms
"I just can't believe her Hardin" I say into his chest
"How about I order us chinese takeaway instead or you cook?"
"That sounds good" I say into his chest
When he moves away a few seconds later, he gives me a kiss on the lips and then takes his phone and orders our food.
...
Hardin:
It's Thursday, me and Tessa are packing up some of Tessa's stuff and putting it into boxes. She felt bad stopping Zed from moving in so we decided that she can move into my room. We told Zed that he can start to move his stuff in on Friday because most of her stuff would be out the way anyway for him to move in.
It is unbelievable that Carol has done this to Tess, her own daughter. It's horrible to know that Carol doesn't believe Tess and that she actually thinks Noah is a good guy. It makes me feel so happy that I have my mess of a family as I know my mum would never do what Carol did.
Tessa has written out what stuff goes into what box, very organised as normal. We left her college stuff out so she had easy access to it since we knew she would need it most days. We then put the clothes she was not likely to wear into boxes and then the same with her shoes. There was also a box for her lingerie sets she was less likely to wear as they were more of her sexy stuff she wears when she wants to tease me. The clothes, underwear and shoes she had left out of the boxes we put into my cupboard and drawers as I still had some space left. The stuff she has in the bathroom is staying there as there is plenty of space and it's stored away in her drawers in the cabinet. Her other bits and pieces that she didn't need were put into certain boxes as well. The boxes that are filled are placed in the livingroom and as out of the way as possible.
We had just finished packing stuff and Tessa decided that tonight she was going to cook to sidetrack her mind. As she was cooking I was looking at how I could help Tessa with her situation. I know there were no other dorms available in the building so I thought of looking at other places. I then remembered that there was a block of apartments near my work that I looked at when I first moved over here.
I have a look on their website to see they have a couple of apartments available. I booked an appointment to have a look around them to see if they would be good for Tess and I. I'm a little worried that moving in together would be fast for us but there aren't many other options for us. It's not like we can live like this till I leave college. I do also hope she would like the idea of living with me in our own apartment because I do. It sounds like we are moving fast but I know for a fact it would be fun living together and it would be good for us.
