Heartburn (Matt Tuck/OFC)

Chapter 8

Arial's Pov

My eyes fluttered open and I rolled over to get a better look at the time. 

I squinted and saw the time was 2 am. 

I sighed and squeezed my eyes shut and re-opened them.

I squealed and nearly fell off the bed when I realized someone was standing in the doorway. 

I heard a throaty chuckle and quickly realized it was Matt. He closed the door behind him and walked over, climbing up top to my bunk. 

My heart began to race.

"Matt, what are you doing here??" I whispered.

"No need to whisper love, we're alone." He chuckled.

Talk about weird mood swings.

"Look Matt, I'm really sorry about, you know, ruining our friendship I guess." I said awkwardly. 

It was dark but I could almost feel the way he smiled at me, that innocent smile he always gave me.

"I know, I actually I came to apologize too, I know I've been acting like a fifteen year old girl, you know, throwing fits over everything...." He said sliding closer to me.

I nodded and quickly climbed down to flick on a small lamp that sat on a small nightstand. 

I climbed back up to find Matt sprawled out across the bed, one hand behind his head and the other resting atop his stomach. 

I smiled at his beauty, the dim light that the small lamp provided lit up his features perfectly.  

He smiled back at me showing off the perfect smile that made every girl I knew melt, including myself.

"Are you just gonna sit there and stare at me babe?" He asked raising his eyebrow. 

I blushed and shook my head. I inched a bit closer, not sure of where he wanted me to sit.

"I don't bite, I promise." He said laughing. 

I found it hard to laugh when I couldn't even think straight, but that's just what happened to me whenever I was around Matt.

He sat up and sighed.

"Come on love, quit being so shy." He said swiftly pulling me towards him with one hand.

I was surprised, and left speechless, especially because there wasn't much space left between our lips.

He placed his hand on the back of my head and buried his face in my neck. 

I felt his soft lips move against my cold skin, making me shudder.

It wasn't long before he pulled away and looked me in the eyes. His electric blue eyes made me sigh.

Just when I thought he was done, he placed both hands on my waist and pulled me on top of him as he laid back, his thumbs gently pressing into my hip bones.

I placed my tiny hands on his chest and smiled.

Who would've thought two weeks ago that I would be in bed with Matthew Tuck, straddling him, and not against his will.

His hands slid under my sweatshirt, his warm hands felt good against my still slightly damp skin. 

He suddenly sat up, my hands moving from his chest to his shoulders.  

Without hesitation he pushed his lips to mine. 

He gently nibbled on my bottom lip before moving his lips to my neck, and from there, back up my jawline. 

He stopped for a bit, but feeling a bit more confident, I attacked his lips, sucking on his plump bottom lip as if my life depended on it. 

His fingers traced lines up and down my spine.

"You're gonna get sick if you go to bed with wet clothes on..." He whispered in my ear. 

I nodded as I lifted my arms up, Matt gently pulling the damp sweatshirt over my head.

"I think we're going to have to remove this too..." He said pulling at my undershirt.  

We repeated the process, leaving me with nothing on top but my bra. 

His eyes scanned my body, making me feel immediately self-conscious. 

I tried covering myself with my arms, but he pushed them away.

"You're beautiful." He whispered and kissed down the middle of my chest. 

His hands held me firmly in place as his lips explored the top half of my body.

"Your turn." I said pulling his shirt off and tossing it over the edge of the bed. 

My hands slid down his bare chest, my eyes glued to his own as he watched me. 

I wasted no time as I undid his belt. 

I felt his breathing get heavier as I unzipped his jeans. 

He slid them down his legs and kicked them off, slightly lifting me off him to get them off faster.

I leaned down, crashing my lips onto his, this time more intensely. 
Just as my shorts were tossed to the side, I heard the door creak open. 

I whipped my head around to see Mrs. Tuck standing in the doorway, her mouth making an 'o' as she analyzed the situation. 

I gasped and rolled over, falling to Matt's side.

Yup, great going Matt. 

Great definition of 'being alone'.

Without saying anything, she closed the door and walked away. 

Matt laughed and turned to his side to face me.

"It's ok, she won't say anything, I promise." He said tucking my hair behind my ear.

"H-how are you so sure?" I asked, my bottom lip quivering as I fought the tears threatning to spill from my eyes. 

I had never felt so embarrassed in my life...seriously, never!

He chuckled and pulled me to his chest. 

"Because...she knows how much I like you" He whispered in my ear, pulling the soft covers over us.

With the shocking re-assurement Matt gave me, I instantly relaxed and pressed my lips to the warm skin of his chest.

He sighed, lips slightly parted as sleep took over him. 

I smiled and closed my eyes, thanking my lucky stars for finally giving me what I've always wanted;  

Matt.
