Falling for the forbidden wolf

Tessa’s pov “I hate you for what you did to me”, I said while looking at the brown eyes I used to love. I never thought I would be saying this to the man I love. He made me understand what love is really like, at first, of course. Now it's just entirely different, it feels like a wholly different person. Mark was my first love, and of course, I assumed he would be my last, i’d start from the very beginning. I was 21, in college and timid when we met, I never really talked so much except when it came to Anna. we’ve been best friends since high school, my soul sister. I can't imagine life without Anna. She knew I had this crush on Mark but I was way too shy to speak. “Omgg he's looking this way Tessa”, said Anna as she noticed Mark looking in our direction. I turned and noticed the same thing then I started to have this uneasy feeling in my tummy. He looked away, just after realizing eye contact. I was never sure he liked me, I mean, quarterback, good looking, perfect hair plus really confident. There was no way he liked me, he had the whole school drooling over him so how am I in the picture?. I was never really the popular type in college. It was always just me and Anna until Mark and I started dating. By the end of my sophomore year, there was a pool party coming up and I really wanted to go at least for a change “It’s better I just stay home”, I said to Anna after she suggested we go together to another party. Anna was the popular one and usually got invited to these kinds of things. As much as I loved Anna, I wanted to go with a boy for a change.But at the same time, I was not about to stress myself over a boy who obviously didn't want me. Its 9 p.m and im in my college dorm watching a movie until Anna storms in “Get your ass up, we’re going”, she said while holding the shortest dress i had ever seen. It was about 4cm long,halter neck and made with black leather. I thought for a long minute until I finally agreed. We got to the party,the smell of grilled food drifted through the air, music echoing through speakers, water guns and everyone was having a blast,either in the pool,making out with someone or drinking and dancing. It was 12 a.m and it's time to sing "Happy Birthday” to the host of the party. You wouldn't believe who the host was;Mark. Turns out Anna knew it was his party but didn't tell me cause she knew I would be too shy to come. By the time I realized it point I had drank way too much , I was so drunk that it made me scared at the same time. I started dancing and singing like I had no shame. Anna tried putting me on a chair to rest and before I knew it I was in the pool and I couldn’t swim, I struggled until I ran out energy until a good samaritan saved me; he had very sexy arms and carried me like I weighed nothing. He spent about 5 to 10 minutes trying to resuscitate me. I woke up the next morning in clothes I do not own and in a room I have never seen before. Turns out my saviour with very sexy arms was Mark!. I screamed as soon as i woke up. “What did you do to me?”, I asked with the most clueless face he had ever seen. “Relax, I saved your life, remember?’ he said while laughing.but i couldnt remember a thing after having the most amount of drinks i had ever taken . i asked for my clothes,even though he said they were wet which i couldnt understand why, i just picked them up and left in embarrassment . i still could not process what had just happened, probably cause my head is aching like crazy and i was just in mark’s room?!How did I even get to this point. I got to my dorm room completely exhausted and still trying process everything when Anna walks into my room explaining everything that happened. I was so embarrassed and didn’t know how to talk to him, to at least say thank you for saving me. No matter how embarrassed I was, I still had to say it at some point It’s Monday morning and I had to say something to him, I spent the entire weekend thinking about what to say. Not long after, I see him walking towards me “I hope you feel better now”? He asked “Yes I do and thank you for the other day” I replied “ I mean, it’s not everyday I get a chance to save a drunk pretty girl from drowning”,he laughed. We both laughed over what had happened. Then he asked if we could get later in the day and of course I said yes. Mark was really sweet and over the next few days, we hung out almost all the time . I still could not believe I went from having this huge crush on him to going to the movies, having lunch together, going to his football games and even going to parties together. One day we went to this party and people started asking if were together, we both laughed. Even though I wanted that, I never wanted to make him feel like I was some obsessed girl and as safe as he made me feel, I still did not want to rush things too. A few weeks go by really fast and he officially asks me to his girlfriend. “Would you do me the honors and be my girlfriend?”, he asked while holding a bouquet of the freshest looking daisies; my Favourite flowers. “Yessss”, I replied . We were officially dating. No one would have paid me a couple of months ago to believe that Tessa brown would be dating Mark karofsky, sounds so unreal. He was the sweetest and treated me like a princess. It all felt like a dream; weekly dates , picnics by the sunset , attending concerts together,stargazing name it. We were always together and I was in love. I’ve read hundreds of novels in my life , most of them claiming that love was the center of the universe. That it could heal any damage inside of us and maybe they just were right. There was a part of me that Mark healed, a part I didn’t know existed. He made me feel good about myself, he made me accept and realize that love truly is beautiful. The way held my waist, kissed me or even when we cuddled. It all just felt right and maybe too right,nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen
