4-Coffee

KAT'S POV.

Matt decided to take me out for coffee.Matt is my ex boyfriend, I dated him before Nick. The thing I like about our relationship is that we aren't awkward around each other regardless of the fact we're not even a couple anymore.We still keep in contact. We're pretty close to be honest.

"Where ya going?" Cam asks resting a hand on my shoulder.

"Out for coffee with Matt."

"You guys still do that?"

"Yes! Just because we aren't a thing anymore, doesn't mean we can't be friends."

"I was just wondering." Cam says sitting next to me.There's a knock at the door.I get up.I open the door to find a smiling Matt.

"Hey gorgeous! " Matt says handing me a bundle of white roses.

"Matt! ! Thank you so much. " I say embracing him in a hug.

"Just thought I'd bring something to cheer you up." He says with a wide smile.

"They're beautiful. "

"Like you." He says with a smirk. I hit his chest playfully.

"I thought ex's don't flirt with each other." Cam says from behind me.

"Really Cam?" I ask turning to face him.He nods.

"There's a difference between giving someone a compliment and flirting, and you obviously don't understand that concept." Matt says.

"Or is it that you don't understand that you're her ex and not her boyfriend. " Cam argues.

Can and Matt often fight with each other over the stupid things.

"And either way both of you are being childish. " I say folding my arms across my chest.Cam rolls his eyes and walk away.

"Now shall we go for coffee?" Matt asks holding his hand out.I nod and take his hand into mine.

"Do you ever miss us?" Matt asks resting his hand on the table.

I laugh lightly. "I miss our late night conversations."

"Oh."

"Don't take this the wrong way..but Nick has always been on my mind since his unexpected death.I really haven't found the time to think about old relationships..I haven't thought about a new relationship.I've been keeping myself a solid."

"Have you ever caught yourself regretting a part of our relationship? "

"Well..not really. We were pretty compatible people..we still are..I just haven't found the time to put in perspective to be in a relationship."

"Would you think I'm insane for wanting you back?"

I giggle. "No."

"Just wondering. " he says flashing me a smile.

"Matt..don't be afraid to tell me how you feel."

"It's just..sometimes I feel alone..and when I think of our relationship it makes me happy..but just upsets me more when I come to reality we aren't even dating anymore. "

"The feeling of being abandoned is the worst.I know because I get a taste of it every few days.No one wants to be alone in this world."

"I like to think of us together, just so I can feel a little reassured that I'm not completely alone."

"I'm always here if you need anything. "

"It's good to know that. " He says placing his hand on mine.
