The elevator reached out floor and we walked out. He had still held onto my hand which made me really happy and I somehow managed to contain my excitement. We walked around the hall, looking for room 417. My eyes skimmed the door, before landing on it. Matt opened the door with the card and we walked in.

The hotel room was quite nice and a little fancier than we thought. Matt ran straight to the bed and flopped onto it. For a guy that just threw up 20 minutes ago, he was pretty energetic. He got up and started jumping on it.

"You having fun?" I shook my head at him, tempted to join him.

"Yes!" He exclaimed. "You know you want to jump on the bed too." Matt gestured for me to join him.

I got on the bed and started jumping up and down with on the bed. Matt was making so many jokes at the moment, and I was laughing my ass off. I was getting tired and sat down. Matt did the same.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower." I yawned.

"Alright." Matt nodded and turned on the TV as I got into the bathroom and locked the door.

I stripped from my clothing and got in the shower which was warmed up. That party and the smell of alcohol mixed with sweat was nauseating.

I rinsed my body and washed myself with the body wash. After washing my hair as well, I rinsed myself once more and finished my shower. I felt a lot cleaner and less nauseous than before.

I pulled my top and shorts on. God, I was going to hate sleeping in these clothes. After deciding to let my hair air dry, I unlocked the door and joined Matt. Matt sat there with his eyes glued to the TV, until his attention focused to me.

"You smell really good." He had somewhat complimented me.

"Thank you." I giggled and he then decided to go take a shower as well, due to feeling gross just like I did and because I smelt good.

He disappeared into the bathroom and I flipped through the channels. I grabbed my phone and texted my mom that we crashed at a hotel and I assumed Matt had texted his mom too. I settled on watching 'Love, Rosie' which was half way over. The movie was still great so far.

I concentrated on the film until Matt showed up shirtless with a towel wrapped around his torso. He was drying his hair with the towel and the rest of his body was still dripping with water. God dammit, why was he doing this.

After drying his hair, he went back in the bathroom. In minutes he came back with his clothes on as well. I was completely fine with him just in towel to be honest.

"You sleepy?" He asked and rested his head on my lap.

"No, not really. Why?" I asked, watching him play with my damp hair.

"I was just making sure that I wouldn't be the only one having trouble falling asleep. " He shrugged.

It went silent for a little bit. Matt was focused on the movie just like me, but I could see that he was slowly glancing back up at me and then to the TV again. It was actually cute because he thought that I could not tell what he was doing.

"Can I ask you something?" Matt broke the silence, glancing back and forth. I nodded.

"Was the only reason you kissed me back at the party because you were jealous?" He raised an eyebrow at me, already knowing I was going to deny that I was jealous when really I was.

"I was protecting you and well, I kissed you because I wanted to." My cheeks flushed a light shade of pink.

"Well I wish you would protect me more often." He mumbled to himself, and was unaware that I had heard him.
