Chapter seventy-two
"I need to pee,"
"Wanna go home?"
"Umm....yeah,"
I am so excited actually share an apartment with him. Watch him sleep. Cook for him. Have a whole place to clean.
I miss having to clean. I used to have to clean every single day back at home.
"Okay. We'll drop by your place first?"
"Yeah,"
We both stand up and start to clean up everything.
"Why didn't you eat anything?"
"I wasn't hungry,"
He raises an eyebrow at me.
"You're gonna eat later, though, right?"
"Yes. I am. Mr. Bossy,"
He smiles. I pick up the two jewelry boxes and put them in my purse. Matt picks up the picnic basket and suddenly I feel bad for not eating. He cooked all that food for me something that, no guy, besides Josh, has ever done for me.
I slide my purse up my arm and pick up the blanket, shaking it off.
"I'm sorry for not eating. I know you probably worked hard to make it. I promise I'll eat once we get home,"
He turns and chuckles. "I'm not mad at you for not eating. I just don't want you to be hungry. You can eat whenever you want,"
"Okay," I say and fold up the big, black blanket. "Just making sure,"
"Got everything?"
"Yep,"
He starts to walk in the direction we came in.
"How do you know where you're going?"
"I've been here so many times. This place is like my.....sanctuary,"
I can't help but laugh a little. Matt has a sanctuary?
I notice his face turning pink. I probably shouldn't laugh when he's opening up to me, something he rarely does to anybody.
"Sorry, its just I never saw you as the type of guy to write poetry and have a 'sanctuary'"
"What, you thought I was just some shallow-ass guy with tattoos and a fucking nose ring who sulked around campus?" he asks. "Cause that's exactly what I am," he adds.
I laugh. "You're funny,"
"And you're pretty," he says. Why is he being corny and romantic? So un-matt like. I shove him to the side a little.
He pushes me back. Now we're just pushing and shoving each other like immature children.
"Oh, just a head's up, the place doesn't have anything in it except for furniture,"
"No decorations or anything?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHEcDxO23R
He shakes his head.
"Can I pick them out?" I ask with a hopeful smile.
"Well......I don't think it really needs...."
"Please, please, please, please, please, please....."
"Okay, okay. But no bright colorful things that'll hurt my eyes,"
"Don't worry. I wouldn't do that to us,"
"And if you decorate it means it's our apartment, which means, you have to come there sometimes,"
"Like, how often?"
"I don't know.......I'm only going there if you're there,"
"I don't know....."
"You can have a bathroom all to your self. No one to share it with....."
"Fineeee........but it's your apartment,"
"Not anymore. It's OUR apartment,"
Finally, I see his car.
"How is it our apartment?"
"A home needs more than one person,"
I roll my eyes and open the trunk for him to put the picnic basket in.
"You should just go ahead and move in with me," he says.
I place the blanket in the trunk, next to the picnic basket. I close the trunk.
"I'm kidding, babe," he wraps his arms around my waist from behind and kisses my neck. "Don't look so scared,"
I turn and kiss him back. "I'm not. I'm excited to live with you FOR THE WEEKEND,"
I turn away from him and he grabs my wrist and pulls me back.
"I'll fucking kidnap you," he says and presses his lips against mine.
He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me against him. I hook my arms around his neck. He lifts me up onto him and presses me against the car. My heart starts racing and I feel the adrenaline rush that always comes when Matt touches me.
He excites me to the highest degree. I'm a naturally boring person so he just.....lights me up with adventure and excitement. He makes me do things I would never usually do. Things that my rational mind would never allow.
He moves his mouth to my neck and starts kissing there, a trail of hot, wet kisses down my neck.
"Matt," I say breathlessly.
"Hmm?"
"I'm about to literally pee on you,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDzp5P2vgF
He stops kissing me and looks up at me, smiling.
"It's not funny. I really need to pee,"
"Okay, okay," he puts me down and pulls down my dress, covering my butt and thighs. I roll my eyes.
"No one's even out here," I say and get into the passenger side.
Matt gets in and starts the car. "Can I drive?" I ask Matt.
"No," he dismisses my question immediately.
"Why not?" he waits until there are no passing cars and pulls out onto the road.
"Because I said so. No driving for you,"
I cross my arms. "You are so....fucking controlling sometimes. You know that?"
He smiles slyly.
"For a reason,"
"I'm not a baby. I can drive,"
"Then stop acting like a baby and listen to me,"
I roll my eyes and huff.
"You can be mad at me all you want cause' you're stuck with me for the rest of the weekend so suck it up,"
I roll my eyes again. "What have I said about the eye-rolling?"
He places his hand on my thigh and I push it off. He laughs outwardly which makes me even more annoyed at him.
I cross my arms and look out the window.
He thinks I'm kidding. I'm not speaking to him again for the rest of the car ride.
He turns his head and looks at me.
"Fine. Be petty. But at the end of the day, we're staying together and I know you can't stay mad at me forever,"
I roll my eyes again, something that I do often when I'm around Matt.
He really doesn't know how petty I really can be. As much as it's hard for me to be mad at Matt, just cause of how handsome he is, I will prove to him just how.....
The car stops at the light. He leans over and kisses the back of my neck.
"Matt stopppppp......" I groan.
He tickles my lower back and I start to laugh.
The light turns green and the car behind us honks. Matt sits back in his seat and starts driving forward.
"Assholes...." he mutters under his breath. I giggle quietly. He looks over at me.
"No, you're mad at me. You aren't allowed to laugh at my jokes,"
I turn and face him. "I can laugh at whatever the hell I want to laugh at,"
"Now, don't start with the attitude cause I will stop this car right fucking now...."
"Don't care," I say to prod him.
He laughs a little and pulls into the parking lot of the dorm rooms.
"Watch. You're gonna pay for that later," he says and parks the car. "Now go get your shit,"
I roll my eyes, laugh, and open my door. "Make it quick, bitch," he says and slaps my ass.
"Shut the fuck up," I reply, laughing. I grab my purse and close the car door behind me. I flip the middle finger at Matt and walk into the building.
I open the door to the staircase and walk up the stairs.
Shit. I just remembered I have to go and lie to Skylar. I mean, I'm a pretty good liar but still.
I walk down the hall and to my door. I turn the knob to see if it's locked.
Nope.
I open the door, hoping and praying Skylar isn't there.
I look around the room.
Phew. No one's here. I close the door behind me. I crouch down underneath my bed and pull out my tiny black suitcase. I take it out and put it on Skylar's bed, which is nearest to the closet.
I go in my dresser and take out a pair of sweatpants, a pair of leggings, one of Matt's hoodies, a tube top, and a black bodycon dress.
I start folding the clothes I've picked up.
"What are you doing?"
I jump, frightened.
I turn around and see Skylar standing there with her arms crossed.
"God, you scared me, Sky,"
"Yeah, so did you. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Just packing a few things,"
"What for?" she asks and plops down on the bed next to my pile of folded clothes.
"Gonna go spend the weekend with a friend,"
"Oh, sounds fun. Where?"
Shit. I hadn't thought that far ahead.
"Somewhere near here. I fucking forgot the name,"
She laughs. "Yeah, girl, I have short-term memory loss too,"
I laugh in relief. I put all the folded clothes in the suitcase neatly.
"So, how long are you gonna be gone. I'm gonna miss you,"
"Aww....I'm gonna miss you too. I'm just going for the weekend,"
"Okay...." she stands up and opens her arms.
We hug.
"Make sure to call me," she says and kisses me on the cheek.
"I will Sky,"
"And this friend better take care of you,"
"I can take care of myself, Skylar,"
She smiles at me.
I grab my deodorant, perfume, a few pairs of panties, and a black bra and throw them into the suitcase.
I get my toothbrush and toothpaste out of the drawer and put them in the front pocket of my suitcase.
"Now, I have to get more toothpaste," Skylar groans.
"Sorryyyyyy......" I reply.
I zip up the suitcase and put it on the floor.
I look around the room for my phone. I spot it on the bed and grab it, putting it in my back pocket.
I grab my school bag and sling it over my shoulder.
I look around for anything I might be forgetting.
Nope, nothing. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4yupOrnqm
I look at Skylar. She's on her phone.
"Bye, Skylar,"
"Bye baby," she says in a doting voice. "Love you...."
"Love you too," I grab my suitcase and pull up the handle. I start to wheel it out the door.
"Don't forget your keys," Skylar shouts.
"Right,"
I take the keys out of her hand, feeling her eyes on me.
"Byeeee...." she says and closes the door.
Phew. That went way better than I thought it would.
