Guys am hungry I need to head home, Lucas muttered " Alright then I will see Tessa off " Tristan replied

After bidding farewell to Lucas, Tessa and Tristan walked down the streets they engage in some conversations

The events of the competition still lingered in their minds, their thoughts consumed by the powerful witches they had faced.

"I still can't believe we managed to defeat them," Tessa said, a hint of awe in her voice. "They were formidable opponents."

Tristan chuckled, a playful glint in his eyes. "Indeed, they were," he replied. "But it seems our teamwork and determination proved to be stronger."

As they continued , their conversation took on a lighter tone. They laughed and teased each other, relishing in the shared memories of the competition. The air was charged with an electric energy, their hearts still racing from the adrenaline-fueled battles they had fought side by side.

Tristan walked Tessa to her apartment, the night enveloping them in a sense of intimacy. The air crackled with a subtle tension, their hearts still fluttering from the shared moments at the competition. They reached Tessa's door, the soft glow of the hallway casting a warm ambiance.

As they stood in front of her apartment, Tessa couldn't help but feel her pulse quicken at Tristan's presence. She found herself captivated by his gaze, his eyes reflecting the moon's gentle glow.

"You know," Tessa began, her voice laced with a mix of playfulness and anticipation, "I never expected our journey at the academy to lead to this moment."

Tristan's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn't it?" he replied, his voice velvety smooth.

Their eyes locked, and the silence between them seemed to deepen, charged with unspoken desires.

In the midst of their playful banter, a moment of intimacy unfolded. Tristan's hand brushed against Tessa's, sending a sudden surge of warmth through her body. She gasped softly, a mix of surprise and desire flickering in her eyes. Their gazes locked, an unspoken connection bridging the space between them.

Tessa's heart pounded in her chest, her cheeks flushing with a rosy hue. "You... you find me attractive?" she stuttered, unable to hide her vulnerability.

Tristan's voice was filled with sincerity as he whispered, "My lady, you are more beautiful than words can express."

Her breath hitched, anticipation hanging in the air. "Prove it to me," Tessa whispered, her voice barely audible.

Without hesitation, Tristan closed the distance between them, his lips gently capturing hers in a tender and passionate kiss. Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the embrace, their hearts entwined in a moment of pure bliss.

As their lips parted, they gazed at each other with a mix of adoration and uncertainty. The connection they had shared had deepened, their feelings intertwining in ways they never thought possible.

Tessa's voice was barely a whisper as she spoke, her eyes filled with newfound affection. "I never expected this to happen," she confessed. "But I'm glad it did."

The atmosphere grew charged with a mix of desire and uncertainty as their lips met in a passionate kiss. Time seemed to stand still as Tessa melted into Tristan's embrace, their bodies drawing closer with each passing second. It was a moment filled with both vulnerability and longing, as they explored the depths of their connection.

But just as their kiss deepened, a sudden noise from outside shattered the fragile intimacy. Tessa pulled away, her heart pounding in her chest. "What was that?" she whispered, her voice filled with concern
