Chapter Four

Tessa's dress was a head-turner, a sizzling hot and short number that demanded attention. Its light blue hue was as captivating as a summer sky. The off-shoulder design showcased her slender waist and exposed her collarbone, adding an alluring touch to her ensemble. At the back of the dress, delicate laces crisscrossed, displaying glimpses of her fair milky skin, creating a tantalizing contrast against the vibrant fabric.

The dress clung to her curves in all the right places, and its daring hemline displayed her sexy legs with every step. With confidence in every move, Tessa's dress was the perfect choice for the housewarming party, ensuring that all eyes were irresistibly drawn to her. Her eyes searched for Luke but he was nowhere in sight. She had made a video call with Kim earlier who couldn't stop gushing about the house looking beautiful.

"Hi!"Tessa turned around to see Luke looking at her weirdly. She can't deny he looks handsome in his simple outfit.

"Wow", Luke exclaimed as he stared a little at her cleavage that was in sight but Tessa caught him.

"Pervert", she hissed and he laughed.

"You are irresistible", he muttered under his breath as he ran his hand through his hair. Tessa felt hot as she saw him do that.

"Fuck", she muttered subconsciously.

"What?", Luke asked.

"Nothing. Uhm, must you wear black?"

He pulled his shirt to himself and asked, "Would you like me to go back and change?". Tessa looked at his serious face for a moment and smiled, "No. I can't do that to you".

"But I can-"

"Let's go drink some alcohol", she pulled him towards an alcohol joint. Her beautiful eyes watched as the guy at the joint mixed their drinks.

"Make it four", Tessa remarked as the bartender put four small ice cubes into the glass for her. She took the glass from the bartender and he smiled at her. She returned the smile but ended it as soon as she showed him her smile because he stared at her breasts.

The sharp yet refreshing liquid made her smile as she sipped it slowly.

"That's not how you drink alcohol Tessa", Luke scolded as he showed her how to drink it. He took his glass and drank it in a go as Tessa stared at him.

"That's a lot Luke. But I like drinking mine this way", She stuck out her tongue and he laughed. They chatted away as she pointed out to hot girls while he watched her. She was getting drunk slowly so he didn't drink anymore but watched her drink. Someone has to protect her against the wolves in sheep's clothing like the guys around them that have been giving her lustful eyes.

~7:28pm~

Screams were heard from outside as the majority of the girls rushed out. Tessa heard the scream and tried to go but she staggered and fell onto Luke's lap and he grabbed her ass but quickly removed his hand and grabbed her slender waist.

"Careful", he said as he held her like the rarest treasure in the world.

"Hey man", two guys walked up to him. "Do you mind if we help you with her?", They asked and smiled but he sent them a sharp glare and they went back to their position. Only an idiot won't know their true motive.

Tessa held Luke's shirt as she blabbered what isn't understandable. This is the first time she will really get drunk. Like really, really drunk. Luke's eyes went towards her fair milky back that was mostly bare. 'So smooth', he thought in his head as he held her waist. He got up from the stool as his hand snaked her waist even more. He didn't like that a large part of her cleavage was exposed and her sexy legs were in view.

He liked her immediately when he met her at the club but he fell harder as he remembered her face and voice. He wants her all to himself and will do everything for her to feel the same way towards him.

"E-easy", he muttered and held her tightly when she staggered.

"Excuse me", he begged as he walked into the small crowd that had gathered outside.

"Coming through", he yelled a little because they were making a lot of noise.

"Who the fuck are they shouting for?", He hissed silently.

"Excuse me please", he said as he made his way to the front and met the person they were shouting for. His worst enemy - Damon.

They sent a killing glare to each other on sight. Damon glared hatefully and Luke glared more hatefully. Luke's eyes met with a blue haired dude and he also sent him a glare. He fucking remembers him. He's the one that ruined one of his most successful-to-be missions by eliminating his client.

He had also planned to have his revenge since then but the bastard is always one step ahead of everything with him. He made his way out of the party when Damon blocked him.

"Where do you think you're taking her to?", He asked and Luke scoffed.

"How's that your fucking business fuckhead?", Luke yelled angrily.

"It's my business because s-she is my g-girlfriend", Damon finally said with confidence and Luke was surprised but quickly replaced it with, "I am her boyfriend".

Damon was shocked. The two were thinking the same thing.

"I didn't know this idiot was her boyfriend"

"I didn't know this idiot was her boyfriend "

"And why will you bring her like this?", Damon asked as he stared at Tessa's body. He could feel his dick twitch on seeing her boobs, legs and pretty face. He didn't like it that Luke was her boyfriend. He didn't like it that he snaked his arms around her waist.

There were whispers amongst the crowd but Damon couldn't hear what they were talking about. It was when Zavier whispered, "What got your dick to stand? You're horny?" that he knew.

"Fuck!", He ran his hands on his hair as he stared at Tessa's pretty face longer.

"She did this' ', he muttered and cursed under his breath. Zavier's lips curved into a smirk as he looked at the little girl in Luke's arm. She's a beauty to behold, he can't deny that. Making Damon's member to rise won't be an exaggeration but she seems like a girl to him not a bitch he'll like to fuck.

"Oh God!! Why are you so loud?!!!", Tessa yelled all of a sudden and broke free from and went towards Zavier's direction.

She then hugged his legs and cried, "I want to go home".

Zavier blew out the smoke in his mouth and sent Luke a bad glance. He was screaming 'come and get her' but no one could talk because she cried harder. Damon looked at her and made to go but Luke was faster. Zavier raised a hand in the hair to stop Luke. He smoked some more and threw the cigarettes away. He stopped to Tessa's level and the girls gasped in shock.

He held her chin and stared at her helplessly.

He looked at her features closely but she still doesn't look like a bad bitch. She is so girly and she ain't his type.

Now is the time to make her suffer for disgracing his group back then. The students were already making a video as everywhere was silent though there was music playing in the background.

Zavier held one of the hands off shoulder and slid it down her shoulder slowly.

"Stop it you bastard!!", Luke yelled angrily as he rushed towards him but Simon and the others stood in his way.

Tessa continued blabbering nonsense as she hiccuped.

"Give me some red wine. She seems tasty", Zavier said as someone gave him a glass of wine. Tessa brought her lips towards the cup but then, she felt the liquid run down her hair soaking her.

"Gosh!"

"Serves her right"

"That looks bad"

"Go Zavier"

"I'mma faint now. See that guy in black shirt!"

"I think his name is Luke"

Several whispers were made.

Tessa felt her hair sticking to her face and her vision felt blurry for a minute. She could see people staring at her and a blue haired boy staring at her wickedly with a smirk on his lips.

He held her hair tightly and spoke into her ears, "That's what you get for messing with me", he tore her dress and her shoulder was more bare now. She met the cold breeze and kissed her skin and she shivered. The wine was cold and now the breeze was chilly.

He grabbed her chin roughly and spoke into her ear once more and a tear fell from her eyes.

"She's crying ain't she?"

"Is she?"

"What did he say?"

"He's so mean!!"

"Being mean makes him hotter. I love you Zavier!!!", a girl screamed and threw a kiss towards him.

********* ************ ************

Tessa woke up with a splitting headache as she remembered what Zavier said to her at his party. Tears formed a pool in her eyes as she recalled his hurtful words:

Certainly, here are extended hurtful statements for each scenario that may have brought tears to Tessa's eyes:

"People like you always think they're the center of attention, don't they?". Zavier's words dug deeper, "You walk into a room, expecting everyone to bow down to you, as if you're some kind of queen. Well, newsflash, Tessa, the world doesn't revolve around you. No one cares about your little theatrics and dramatic entrances." "You should have stayed away, Tessa. This party was meant for people who matter."

Zavier's voice was dripping with condescension, "I can't believe you

had the audacity to show up here. This party was for important people, people who have something to contribute. You, on the other hand, are nothing but a burden, a waste of space." "I can't stand being near you; it's a mistake that you're even here." Zavier's disdain was palpable, "Every second I spend in your presence is a second wasted. I can't stand your company, Tessa. You should have taken the hint and stayed far away from me and my friends. Your presence is a mistake I can't wait to rectify."

She hates him. She really hates that bastard now. She hates all of them!!! He disgraced her and she's gonna get back at him one way or the other. She wiped her tears away and dragged her tired body to the bathroom. She looked into the mirror and saw a strong successful lady.

"I'm gonna make it bastard!", She spoke confidently. "I'll show you I have both beauty and brain", she smirked.

She came out of her bathroom in her towel. She was wet and her hair was styled with another towel. She had a call on her phone and answered it.

"Oh shit. It's a video call", she cursed and made to end it when she saw Luke's handsome face.

"Hi Tess", he waved and she froze.

She can't believe he's seeing her like this.

"Ehm..I-I'll call you back. Bye!"She hung up and quickly dried her wet body. She wore her clothes and opened her curtains a little bit for some sunlight to be reflected in the dark room.

She then called Luke.

"Sorry for last night. Things went bad. We won't go to anything like that again", he said and she smiled.

"It's okay Luke", she smiled but there was sadness behind that smile.

"I saw your best friend a moment ago-"

"Oh Kim!"Tessa sounded excited.

"Yeah. She's gonna drop by your house later", he announced and she smiled.

"Okay. Thank you so much Luke and it wasn't your fault. It was mine for drinking so much", she said and he stared at her pretty face. He still had no idea of what Zavier said to her but he knows that it was something terrible for her to cry. He hated to see her get bullied or cry.

He stared at her pretty face, cute nose and small lips as she talked. He listened to her as she took a white furry animal.

"Do you know how much this puppy cost?"She asked as she carried a white furry puppy that looked so cute.

"Should be about $10000 dollars", he answered and her eyes widened.

"What?!!!", She exclaimed. She can't believe Austin bought his girlfriend something of $10000 dollars. That's his money anyways. It's ain't as if he hasn't done more than that for her.

"He's a cute dog though", Tessa ran her hand through his furs as the dog stared at her phone's screen.

"Isn't he yours?", Luke asked.

"No. It's my brother's girlfriend's dog", she said and he asked if she wanted it.

"I could buy it for you though. It is not expensive", he persuaded her to let him buy it and she gave in. He smiled and ruffled his hair as he looked around. They were looking at him as he heard whispers.

"I told you they're dating "

"What? That's ridiculous "

"What's ridiculous is that they are a perfect match"

"I am jealous"

Luke smiled as he heard them. "Why the hell are you smiling?", Tessa asked.

"Nothing "

"Nothing? You were smiling like a fool in love", Tessa said and he laughed. 'That's true though ', he thought happily. They talked some more and ended the call.

Tessa felt her spirit lifted up a little after talking to Luke. She blushed heavily as she recalled his handsome face. She was blushing a great deal when talking to him but she made sure to hide it.

"Fuck!", She pulled out her hair and got off the bed in excitement.

She walked out of her room only to see Ryan by her door.

"Ryan?"She sounded shocked.

"What are you doing here? It's past eight", she said as he looked at her in his cute uniform.

"Mum said you should take me to school", he said and looked at his short arms.

"You should have come in then", she said and went back in. He gave the excuse that he could not disturb her when on a phone call.

Tessa didn't go anywhere but gave up right there. He's so cute that she can't get angry at him.

She knew that Austin did this purposely - leaving Ryan with her.

"Give me a moment Ryan", Tessa went back in to take her phone.

"Next time you come okay?", She told him and he nodded. He stretched his arms out for her to carry him so she scooped him in her arms and he hugged her.

"I'll come pick you early okay?", She assured him and he nodded happily.

"Austin!!", She yelled angrily when she found out that he took her car and left his car behind.

"How the heck do I drive this piece of shit?!", She asked aloud to herself as Ryan stared at her.

"We gotta take a cab, Ryan. I'm sorry", Tessa said and he smiled. They were in his school in twenty minutes. She entered a cab back home and changed her mind to go to a mini restaurant but was surprised to see Zavier smoking at a corner.

She quickly covered her face and made to turn back to go home when she heard his annoying voice.

"Hey! Damon's girlfriend!", He yelled and she paused. She cursed inwardly and faced him. He was handsome no doubt but now to her he's pretty ugly.

She approached him slowly and asked him what he wanted.

He dragged in the smoke and released the smoke from his mouth. The smoke flew to Tessa's direction and she coughed.

"I'm not your stupid friend's girlfriend", she replied and he cast her a dirty look.

"The fuck that got to do with me?", He yelled rudely and she flinched.

"I'll be on my way now", She said and turned her back to him to go.

"Don't you dare-"

"Or what? Fuckhead?", Tessa dared him and he held the cigarettes between his fingers.

"You should learn to watch that pretty mouth of yours. You'll do well in sucking my cock since you run your mouth over everything ", Zavier said and Tessa showed him her disgusted face.

"Do you smoke?", He asked and continued looking at her. She didn't reply. She was pissed. Why did he call her here? What was she meant to do here?

"I asked a question, Barbie," he reminded her.

"I ain't a barbie"

"You should be happy I complimented you", he took out a new cigarette and put it between his sexy lips.

He searched his pockets for the lighter while Tessa used that opportunity to take the cigarette out of his lips. She held it between her fingers and said, "You may die of smoking".

He took the cigarette from her and burned it at the bottom. Tessa watched him as he smoked.

"I'll like to be on my way now", Tessa announced and watched him take in a heavy smoke. He let out the foggy smoke and sighed, "You should be angry at me now for what I did to you yesterday". She puffed her cheeks in an angry but cute manner.

"I am and I am gonna stay away from you from now on and I hope you do the same", she fumed and he chuckled.

"That's not my business. I don't like you from day one so fuck off", he retorted and she scoffed.

"Anyways, Damon refused to talk to me until you accept my apology", he stated.

"So, you want to apologize"

"Well, sort of", he said nonchalantly.

"I have accepted your apology. Bye", she said and turned to leave. Zavier watched her small frame figure as she departed from him. He leaned more against the wall and put out the fire from the cigarette.

He stamped on it and went into the restaurant. Tessa made her meal and tasted it when she received a notification from her phone. She dropped the fork in her hand and unlocked the phone.

She was shocked at what the message contained. She didn't realize that the incident that last night would turn into a popular scandal.

She was trending on the school's social media in a bad way. She is the most searched name on the platform.

#Tessa #MostBeautifulGirl #SheLovesHim!!

She scrolled and read all the hateful comments that they wrote about her. 35% of it were good comments.

What has she gotten herself into? That fucking bastard made her into this. He caused this. She had forgiven him and won't forgive him. He will regret what he did to her. She cried hard as she watched forged pictures and videos about her. She looked hot in those revealing clothes that were forged but that wasn't her. She cried harder and louder.

She had lost her appetite. Her food was taken back to the kitchen and her phone was powered off. She doesn't want to be disturbed at all for the time being. Tessa brought herself to watch a funny movie but found herself thinking of what was going on in the university. How will she face them all tomorrow? She can't hide from them forever. Taking a nap did the magic as she drifted into the land of good dreams.
