Chapter 61- A concert

“Please, I want to go to this live concert. I know you love this band. It’s your favourite. Look! They are giving out free CDs!”

Country music was one of Tessa’s favourites. There was a local band that sang covers of

famous country songs and she loved to attend every concert that they held every year.

Michelle had bought two tickets and came to pick her up. However, for some reason, Tessa wasn’t willing to go out that day.

“I just want to sleep today. The kids are with their father so I can use this time to rest, Tessa remarked as she sipped on a cup of hot chocolate.

They were both seated in the living room on some couches. It was a Saturday and Tessa just wanted to be lazy, doing nothing.

Seeing that Tessa wasn’t willing to get up, a flash of panic flitted through Michelle’s eyes but it was gone the next second.

She got to her feet and approached Tessa, pulling at her hand. “Let’s go, please! I know you love Country music. You hardly have time to have fun. Take this opportunity to enjoy yourself.”

Elena came out of the kitchen and added, “Your friend is right, Tessa. Go out. Have fun! You’re always working hard. Now that Aaron is helping with the kids, you can have some time to yourself.”

After being convinced by both her friend and mother, Tessa finally agreed. She sighed and said, “Let me put on something warm.”

The concert was starting at 6:00 pm. When she was ready, she and Michelle left. They first went to a fancy restaurant and had dinner. Michelle was treating Tessa to a meal.

Tessa glanced at her friend suspiciously and inquired, “Did you do something wrong? Why are you being extra nice today?”

Michelle chuckled awkwardly and responded, “I’m always nice.”

Tessa arched an eyebrow and Michelle cleared her throat, adding, “Ok. I’m starving and I have been craving this restaurant’s signature lobster meal. I thought it would be good to eat something before we go to the concert.”

Tessa smiled and nodded. “Ok. We will split the bill-”

“No! I have a black card… don’t worry. The bill is catered for,” Michelle quickly exclaimed.

“You’re acting strange. What are you up to?” Tessa observed.

She leaned forward and gazed deeply into her friends’ eyes but the latter averted her gaze.

There’s definitely something…’ She said silently.

However, no matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t come up with any reason why Michelle was acting mysteriously.

“No, I’m not. Come on, let’s enjoy the food,” Michelle remarked.

Seeing that Michelle was dodging her questions, Tessa decided to drop it and just enjoy the outing. The two of them ordered their food and devoured it.
