Taylor Swift's Come In With The Rain plays softly in the background as Matt sits on my bed next to me.

"If you need it, I can stay over tonight." he offers, "I don't want to get you in trouble with Mary Lou, I don't need you to." I reply.

"Oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that. I talked to her about everything, explained everything to her and my brothers. She understands the situation you're in and said it's okay to hang out with you, just no dating." he explains.

"Wait really? That's awesome!" I reply, "It is. Except..." he drags out.

"Except what?" I ask, "How am I supposed to win the bet if I can't date you?" he jokes.

"Now hearing that I wouldn't wanna date you even if the thought had even crossed my mind!" I reply, "What?! Why not!" he asks.

"Because you'd just date me to win the bet!" I answer, "No I wouldn't. I'd date you for way more reasons than that." he corrects.

"Hate to be that person but why?" I ask, "Why? You're asking me why I'd want to date you? Are you serious? You're literally anything and everything any guy could ask for! Even though you've never had Burger King." he answers.

"Hey in-"

"Or Mc Donalds."

"Okay b-"

"Or Wendy's."

"MAT-"

"Or KFC." 

"MATT! I've had KFC!" I tell him, "Recently?" he asks, "What do you think?" I ask, "Damn Aria. I really need to take you out to eat." he replies.

"Smooth Matthew." I whistle.

"That's me." he smiles brightly.

"MATT! ARIA! DINNER'S READY!" I hear my dad shout.

"Thanks for staying over for dinner." I say as we make our way downstairs to the kitchen.

"Yup, of course." he replies.

My mouth grows wide as I see we're having chicken alfredo.

"You made chicken alfredo?" I exclaim, "Yep." Papa replies, putting our food on the table.

"I love chicken alfredo! I haven't had this in so long!" I exclaim as me and Matt go to sit down, "I know, that's why I made it." Papa replies, sitting down allowing us to start.

"What do you need fed or something?" Matt jokes as he sees I haven't started yet.

"Yeah." I joke, he rolls his eyes with a smile as he puts food on the fork and feeds it to me. I giggle as he puts my fork back on the table.

"You're so down bad." I comment, "Says you." he replies.

"Yeah says me. You have no proof that I like you." I challenge, "I have proof you both like each other." Papa comments.

"Yeah like what?" I challenge with a smile, "The way Matt wasn't even hesitant at all to help you earlier. And you are always talking about him to me. She talks very passionately about you Matt." Papa states.

"Oh does she?" Matt smirks, "Yeah but you also talk very passionately about her too so." Papa adds.

"Ha! We're even!" I say, sticking my tongue out at him, he just mocks me before continuing to eat his food.

"Hey Matt it would be great to invite your brothers and mother over some time, me and Aria would love to meet them, like formally." Papa says to Matt, "Yeah, I've been dying to meet Nick." I reply.
