Paranoia

°You're On°

Previously in Paranoia:
I made my way out of the building, and bumped into someone. "I'm sorry mate, I wasn't watching where-" I quickly lifted my head, and said "Jackson?" I had recognized his voice the moment he started talking. "Matthew, hey I didn't know you were back?" He said frowning. "Uhh yeah just for a few days" I said while scratching my neck. " Well uhh, it's been nice seeing you again but I have to go to work" he said awkwardly. " Uhh yea sure, bye". I shook my head and headed home.

Matthew's P.O.V
I parked my car in the garage, and went inside the house. I put my keys in the pot,and noticed my wife's keys in there too. " Babe you home?" I waited for a moment but got no reply. "Megan?". I looked towards the stairs as I heard footsteps coming down. "Yea?" She walked the rest of the way down, and I followed her into the kitchen. "Not that I'm complaining, but why are you home so early?" She looked up at me with a frown. "I forgot my case files, and I can't find them." I ran upstairs, and opened the top dresser drawer. I withdrew the case files, and jogged downstairs to Megan. "Here you are love" I said, before placing them on the countertop. I sat in one of the stools, and pulled her body toward mine. I softly pressed my lips to hers. She leaned in, deepening the kiss, while running her hands through my hair. We break apart as we hear someone banging on the door. "MEGAN IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR AS$ OUT HERE RIGHT THE ℉UCK NOW" I chuckled as me and Megan spoke in unison "Shaniya" Megan pecked my lips, and walked to the front door. "See you later Matt". She opened the door, and Shaniya came bustling in. I laughed as she realized what must've been happening, because she started making kissy faces, and noises at Megan. Megan blushed, and pushed her out the door. I turned, and looked out at the pool, remembering one of me, and Noelle's many conversations.
**Flashback**
Noelle swam to the pools edge, and looked up at her best friend. "C'Mon Matt swim with me" she said with a pleading tone. Matt looked at her with frightened eyes. " I don't think that's a good idea Elle". Noelle huffed, pulled herself up, and sat next to him. She looked dreamily down at the pool, and said "When we're older, I'm gonna have a house with a pool, and I'm gonna teach you how to swim". Matthew looked at her with disbelief, and shook his head. " Never, that's never gonna happen". Noelle looked annoyed for a moment, before a look of determination crossed her face. "Fine, let's make a bet". Matthew looked at her with hesitant eyes "What kinda bet?". Noelle grinned, and said "That when we're older I'm gonna have a house with a pool, and I'm gonna teach you how to swim" Matthew smiled softly, and said "You're on."
**End Of Flashback**
I smiled softly at the memory, and then hung my head in guilt. I looked back up at the pool, and whispered softly. "I'm sorry Noelle"
