Chapter 11- Concord

The next morning Ethan showed Tesni around Concord all of his favorite places like Walden Pond, The Minute Man National Park and Ralph Waldo Emerson house all of which Tesni found interesting and loved it all. "There are so many places and things to here I wish we had more time to show you of Concord and Massachusetts" said Ethan as they were walking up to Orchard House." Ethan you can show me when we come back I am really looking forward to seeing what Massachusetts has to offer, the place you call home, the place that is part of you" replied Tesni as she looked up at the brown two-story house. This was a place where she had spent many hours no years with Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy laughing and listening to Beth play the piano and gathering wildflowers for Amy to paint, helping Meg with the Jellies and acting out Jo's stories. Tesni had lost herself sometimes in this story and the sister's lives and adventures just wishing she had sisters to share joys and even sadness with just like the March sisters. Tesni had half sibling twins her brother Ashton and sister Jasey who she had never meet because of her mom and Stepdad didn't want her too which always had hurt, she had even tried to reach out but had never gotten a response, so she figure that it was best not to keep trying to be part of peoples live who didn't make the effort with her.

Ethan had scheduled a private tour for just the two of them, Tesni and Ethan explore each of the rooms and listen to the tour guide's stories about the Alcott family and their lives together. How they fixed up the house with their own hands and how May had hand painted the rooms beautifully. When they were finished they went to the gift shop and Tesni bought a few souvenirs for herself and some for her friends back in Utah. Ethan took her to back to his house. "So Tesni what do you think of little old Concord?" asked Ethan as he pulled into the garage. "Ethan it really is really beautiful place I mean with all the history that has happened here not just in U.S. history, but it is a big place for the Literary world as well with greats like Alcotts, Emersons, and Hawthorne and so many others, just the all over town is just breathe taking I mean its only spring and its gorgeous I can't imagine what this place looks like in the fall with all trees with all the different colors of leaves." said Tesni. Ethan smiled "Maybe we will be here in the fall, and you can see Concord then." said Ethan wishfully he loved his hometown and hope to raise his family here one day he really hope to do that with Tesni, but she also loved where she grew up as well, where ever she wanted to be is where he would be as well.

Ethan and Tesni were finishing cleaning the kitchen after having a nice dinner. When Ethan's cell rang Ethan set down the towel he was using to dry off the dishes and picked it up and read the name Mac Wilson one of his best friends and they had co-stared in few movies together, "Hey Mac, what's up buddy?" said Ethan as he answered the phone. "Nothing much on my end but dude you are all over the place, the Tabs are having a field day with you and this mystery women first at Disney World and now in Boston what's going on man have you finally found your soulbound or somethings else?" asked Mac in a teasing tone. Ethan chuckled at Mac's question "What if I told I did find her at Disney World?" answered Ethan. Tesni smiled at Ethan's answer, but she decided to let him have some privacy and she wondered out towards the study to see if there might be a book she could read.

While Ethan was on the phone Tesni went into the study which was huge with walls covered in bookshelves and huge bay window with a seat so one could read while and also enjoy a view of the backyard. Tesni ran her fingers along the spines of the books smiling at many of the titles of Ethan's collection. Tesni moved a side wall which was covered in pictures some of Ethan and co-stars on the set of Ethan's movies. But most of them were of Ethan and his family of years passed ones of the whole family at Disney World and family parties. Tesni couldn't take her eyes of one of Ethan, Eddie, and Camie on the 4th of July with sparklers and popsicles stain faces smiling at the camera. Camie and Eddie looked like their dad with their hazel eyes and dark hair. Where Ethan looked like his mom with their stunning blue green eyes and the same smile, the only thing was Ethan towered over everyone else and had a sharper nose which he must have gotten from his birth father.

She moved around the around looking all the pictures then a display of familiar books caught her attention behind the desk was just a section of her dad's books. Some well-loved copies and even collectors editions were on display. Tesni chuckled because she had many editions of her favorite books as well. But then right in the center of the books was a framed paper Tesni moved closer to it and gasped to see it was a handwritten letter from her dad to Ethan. Her dad had loved to get letters from fans and would try to respond to many as he could. Tesni had binders at home from her dad's fans. Tesni had to read these words from her dad to Ethan

Dear Ethan, May 20,1996

I was so happy to get your letter in the mail today. I love to hear from my fans but when I read your letter it touch my heart. I am so happy to hear that you think of Mateo as a friend and that he has help you find your way when you felt lost and alone. Your own words remind me a lot of my little girl Sunni, she herself has made friends with characters from books and has such a wild imagination. I am glad that there are people like you and her in the world that can brighten lives with their dreams and smiles. Ethan I can see you brightening peoples lives in all that you, be an Actor like you want to be where the characters you play can help people through their darkness of times because they can relate or connect with the character you play. Who knows maybe one day Ethan you can play Mateo if my books are ever made into movies. Ethan keep on dreaming but just remember what I always tell my Sunni. Be a ray of light, do that that this world will not be shadowed in darkness and soon others will follow and soon the world will be filled with color.

Your Friend

Matthew Ray Scott.

Tesnis eyes filled with tears as she read her dads words, Tesni sat down on the seat in the bay window and held on to the framed letter. Her dad had always told the last line in letter to her to remind her that no matter how dark the world can see there was always good and light in it and that it was peoples job to keep that light shining. Tesni hoped that she would always be able to live by her dad's words. "Tesni where did you go?" called Ethan. "I am in the study" she replied. Ethan walked in the room and leaned on the doorframe "What do you got there Tesni?" he asked smiling looking at her holding the frame. Tesni turn the frame around to show the letter "Oh just the letter that my dad wrote back to you" she replied. Ethan smiled and walked over to the window and sat down next to her. "I love that letter it's one of my most prized possessions, I couldn't believe that he had actually read my letter and wrote back, his words made me feel that I could do anything that I set my mind too, but not just for myself that maybe someday I could do something for someone elses like your dad did for me. Ethan" said simply. "I wanted a reminder of those words so that's why I got a sun tattoo just above my heart with Be a Ray of Light written underneath, looks like even back then you were making a mark in life Sunni." said Ethan pressing his forehead to hers and letting out a soft sigh. Tesni closed her eyes and enjoy being near this man who had changed her life so much in just a short period of time.

Just at that moment Zeppe decided that he need attention, so he jumped on Ethan nearly knocking both of them over and then starting to give Tesni kisses. Ethan laughed but quickly got Zeppe by the collar "No, Zeppe buddy no kissing Tesni, do you want to go for a walk?" asked Ethan standing up pulling the dog off Tesni. Zeppe jump up in excitement and ran for the door at the thought of a walk. "I'll take that for a yes" laughed Tesni watching Zeppe. Ethan nodded "Yeah he loves his walks, want to join us?"asked Ethan holding out his hand to her. Tesni took his hand and nodded. "Sure, I would love to go out and see more of what Concord has to offer" she answered.

Later that evening when Ethan was letting Zeppe out for the last time before bed, Tesni wandered into the parlor and saw an upright piano it had been awhile since she had played but she sat down and ran her fingers across the keys as a warmup and soon the melody was flooding the room. I Get to Love You by Ruelle as the cords played out Tesni began to sing the words filled Tesni heart and the emotions every part of her just came out and took over she thought of Ethan and what he had done to her heart, soul and life and she knew that nothing would ever be the same and Tesni was looking forward to whatever those changes maybe. So lost in the song that she failed to notice Ethan walked into the parlor and just stopped in the doorway and listened to her as she played. While not perfect she played with her heart and much feeling, her voice was pleasant and melodic. Tesni hit the last notes and they faded into silence. Ethan smiled "Tesni that was amazing, I love that you can play, and your voice is like an angel" said Ethan coming up behind her and pressing a kiss on her cheek. Tesni blushed and smiled at Ethan's comment "Thank you Ethan, it's been awhile since I have played so I am a little rusty, but it did feel good to play again" Tesni said. Ethan nodded "I want to try something do mind if I sit with you?" asked Ethan. Tesni gave him a puzzled look but made room for him. Ethan sat down "I want to sing with you I think you know this song" said Ethan as he moved his hands to the keys and began to play I See the Light. Tesni started to sing the words and they were everything that was in her heart, and she looked into Ethan's beautiful blue-green eyes, and she swore that time stop and was just her and him that they were where they were always meant to with each other two souls connected forever. Both couldn't take their eyes off of each other and it seemed like since that very first time their eyes had meet that everything had been different and new but familiar and unchanging all at once. The last notes rang through the air and Ethan moved his hands from the keys to Tesni's hands that been on her lap and brought one her hands to his lips giving her a soft kiss. Then he moved and gave her a passionate kiss which Tesni eagerly return. Ethan pulled away softly while smiling, then got up from the piano bench looked down at her and held out his hand "Dance with me Tesni?" he asked.

Tesni looked up into his handsome face with those soul stirring eyes looking at if she was the only women in the world. Tesni returned his smile and placed her hand into his, Ethan pulled her off the bench and moved her to the open spaced of the parlor. Ethan placed both of her arms around his neck then moved his arms around her waist pulling her super close. "Alexa play Tesni's Mix" said Ethan as he looked straight into her amber eyes. Tesni titled her head and smiled "You made me a playlist?"she asked biting her lip. Ethan nodded "Yes, these are the songs make me think of you and describe what feel about you" replied Ethan leaning down to place a kiss on her lips. Ethan pulled her even closer but had it to where he could still look into her eyes, As the music began to play I Was Made for Loving You by Tori Kelly and Ed Sheehan. Ethan took the lead and began guiding her with grace and much expertise. "This is such a 90's move" laughed Tesni as she shook her head but was totally loving it. Ethan just smirked and arched his eyebrow "What can I say my moves are classic" he replied with a wink. Tesni just laughed and shook her head. The next song came on later Michael Bublés Everthing Ethan showed off his dancing skills and moved her into a swing dance, which made Tesni surprised, and her eyes go wide when he dipped her then slowly brought her up and close to him. Ethan could feel his heart beating and he could also feel Tesni's heart also, to him it seemed like they were beating in rhythm together. And it was truly one of the best feelings he had ever felt. Neither said a word just held on to each other.

As the songs played and Tesni listen to what Ethan had chosen it made her smile and heart leap, to think finally here all the ways she had guarded her heart for so long not allowing herself to feel what love could really bring to your life. The joy and the happiness, it was so much better then living with walls around her heart. Then and there Tesni threw all remaining walls down and let what her soul had known from the first time she laid eyes on Ethan, that she Tesni Scott was in love with Ethan Clark and nothing and no one would ever change that, with that realization her soul stirred and was if she knew she had found her place in this world, her light, her home and she never wanted to let that go!

Tesni leaned up and pulled Ethan into a tender kiss that he returned with much fervor. She moved her hands to his face to pull him closer, his hands moved back into her hair moving his lips with more passion. Tesni pulled back for a second licking her lips, she kissed him again for just moment then moved to his neck with small breathy kisses. "Tesni" Ethan gasped with his mind going blank, his hand slipped down her back and under her shirt. "If you don't stop that I am going to lose control" he said breathing heavily. Tesni only pressed harder before pulling away looking into his eyes which had darken and made her quiver with their intensity, Tesni smiled "Maybe, that's what I want is just lose control"said Tesni contently. Ethan snapped back into reality at her words, he couldn't believe it. "Tesni are you saying what I think your saying?" asked Ethan in a husky voice. Tesni nodded and looking him with her amber eyes just sparkling. "I know its only two weeks since we meet Ethan and it's too soon, but I love you" Tesni stopped for a second, but her soul needed to get these words out, to have him hear this so she continued "I love you so much, I can't sleep because my dreams are nowhere near as wonderful as reality. It's like I am reaching for the stars because this world can't hold my love for you! Ethan when I am with you my world is brighter and full of wonder because you brought color into it. You are my soulmate and now that I have found you my life has forever changed for the better. Ethan you are my light, my home" Tesni said with a sigh "I want to be with you in every way" she said softly never looking away from his ocean eyes. Ethan stood there quietly looking back at her while biting his lip, then he looked down shaking his head.

Tesni's heart stopped, and it was as if her soul was in two places at once, half hope and half agony waiting for his reply. Ethan looked up and pulled her with a tender kiss then pulled away and pressed his forehead to hers. "Of course, you say all the right words, I love you too Tesni, I have just been too scared of saying out loud in a chance that it might scare you away because it was too soon." replied Ethan pulling away then he looked into her amber eyes which seemed to be glowing. Tesni's and Ethan's lips were on each other before another breathe could escape, the intensity was like oxygen to fire everything just exploded, they couldn't get enough of each other.

Tesni moved her hands down his back to the hem of his shirt and tried to yank it up with much urgency but fumbled and it slipped out of her hands. Ethan chuckled at her movements and stepped away from for a second and with one swift movement his shirt was off. Tesni stood there for a few seconds biting her lip slowly she placed her hand on his stomach, then traced his abs the six pack was like some hand had sculpted them perfectly, her fingers burning with each touch. Ethan tensed up and was breathing more rapidly try to keep in control as Tesni explored him.

Tesni smiled at each tattoos wondered what the story was behind each one, Tesni eyes up at him for a moment and gave him a small smirk before moving to his sun tattoo right above his heart, she traced the outline of it then read words right under it Be a Ray of Light, Tesni sighed but then lean in pressed her lips softly to the tattoo loving the meaning behind it. "Tesni" Ethan moaned, Ethan then brought his hands up to her face and pulled her back up to his lips and kissed her soft and tenderly. Tesni pulled back gasping "Ethan I need you" she whispered. "And I need you"replied Ethan, Tesni looked into those blue-green eyes of his which had darken with longing. Tesni hoped he saw it in her eyes as well, the longing to be with someone fully body, mind, soul, and heart. Ethan smiled and leaned down push the hair behind her ear before whispering "Are you sure my love?" he asked tenderly. Tesni shivered at his words before nodding "Ethan, I love you I have never been more sure I want to be with you tonight" replied Tesni. Ethan sighed at her answered "I love you too Tesni" he whispered. Then he took her hand and guided her up the stairs to the bedroom.

Tesni woke up the next morning with Ethan asleep with his arms wrapped around her, she smiled and sighed thinking of the night before each touch, each kiss had brought feelings that she had never felt before. While she knew hadn't been prefect and there had been fumbles. She knew that they just needed time and practice to know what each other liked and needed. But she was feeling happy and loved and what more can you ask for your first time. She felt as if they truly connected just with their bodies but with their hearts as well. She turned her head; she could feel him breath softly on her shoulder she snuggled closer to him "I love you Ethan Clark" she whispered. Tesni then place a kiss on the tip of his nose. Ethan stirred a little but remained asleep Tesni just smiled and snuggled closer to him. She closed her eyes and soon she was back into a peaceful sleep.

Ethan woke a little while later to Tesni's soft snores, Ethan laughed a little at the fact she snored just another little thing to love about her. Ethan moved back to look at her beautiful face as she slept; her lips looked very inviting. Remembering the events from the night before made him grin at all the words she had said, those words had stirred his heart, she said everything he had felt and so much more. All the walls that he had around his heart had come crumbling down and allowed him to express fully how he felt not words but with actions. Their time together had been so different from the experiences than he had before it was unforgettable. It was as they had been a song, him the melody and her lyrics one couldn't be without the other. It was a song that had been inside him along and being with her had brought everything into harmony, it had finally been able to be completed and for their hearts and souls to hear. It had been beautiful not perfect but who needed prefect he just needed her, "I love you Tesni"he whispered into her ear. Tesni's eyes opened she yawn a bit but then smiled and looking at him "I love you too Ethan" leaning in for a kiss which he eagerly received, Ethan rolled so he was above her and broke the kiss leaning on one arm. He moved his other hand to her face to move her hair out the way. The morning light peaked the curtain, the sunlight made her face glow lightly and her hair gleam. In that moment she literally took his breath away. He moved to kiss her again, his lips were soft and sweet. The love that had for each other was flowing through them and they just had to show each other what that meant.
