Mr.Popular

Chapter 5; the project

School the next day passed in a blur, he brought me to school, we sat next to each other in all the classes we had together but didn't talk much I was mainly focused on class, then he drove me home and reminded me to go to his house at 5pm.

When I got home, I went up stairs and showered. Music and hot showers was my therapy. When I got out of the shower I put on shorts that were probably 2 sizes to small, but it was laundry day, and a cropped v-neck tank top. I put everything we needed in a small back pack and walked over to his house.

I knocked on the door trying to suppress my anxiety. As much as he calmed me, the thought of seeing him triggered my anxiety and I hated it.

The door opened as Matteo's mom yelled "Matteo get down here she's here!" She looked at me and said "Hey McKenna! It's so great to see you! We have to catch up some time" I suppressed a laugh at how quickly she flipped from screaming to super nice "of course! It's so nice to see you ma'am"

I stepped into the house and took off my shoes, as Matteo walked down the stairs and said "cmon Kenna let's go to my room, I think I have everything set up."

I followed him to his room, trying not to stare at his muscles, since he typically wore a sweatshirt I rarely saw his muscles, but the way his T-shirt gripped his body was drool worthy!

We entered his room and began to work on the project, his room was pretty basic, the most interesting thing I saw was his gaming area, I couldn't tell you what any of it was but it all looked cool. Video games wasn't my forte, but I could appreciate a good set up if I saw one. After working for 2 or 3 hours we decided to take a break.

I stood up stretching right next to his bed, unsure of what to do. he looked over at me, as our eyes met he stated "this might be bold but you look really good right now." I blushed and looked to the side breaking the eye contact, I heard him walking toward me. I looked up to see him hovering over me as we made eye contact his hands slithered around my waist. I tried to fight the butterflies down as he tilted my head up with his pointer finger, he breathed "may I?" I nodded in response.

Just as our lips were about to meet, the door opened, i fell onto the bed and he stepped away from me. An absolutely stunning girl, one who you rarely saw in real life but were typically on the cover of magazines, basically flung herself on Matteo. "Hey Teo-baby, what are you doing??" She cooed.

His posture stiffened, he looked at me clearly apologizing with his eyes, as he looked so did she "who's this?" She asked in a disgusting tone. I fought the urge to stick my tongue out as Matteo scoffed "how many times do I have to tell you, don't call me Teo. And this is McKenna. My partner for the global project I told you about"

I smiled weakly at her, just to receive a death glare. It took a lot to stop myself from laughing at her, I mean she looked pathetic. But I held my laughter in to not upset Matteo.

I went on my phone, scrolling aimlessly just waiting for her to leave. My eyes started to feel heavy, I tried to keep them open but I must have fell asleep because the next thing I knew, I was slowly opening my eyes to darkness. I tried to sit up but two muscular arms pulled me back, "no, stay, please" he grumbled.

I could feel the blood rushing to my face at the sound of his deep raspy tired voice, probably causing a deep pink blush, in that moment I was beyond grateful for the darkness since it hid my beaming smile and deep pink face. I laid back down snuggling into his arm and drifted back to sleep.
