Matt was sitting in his car on a business call. He was in shorts and running shoes because he was supposed to go on a run with you, but this call prevented him from it. You didn't want to wait and he didn't like running when the sun was high, so you always went early mornings.
He wasn't sure how long he was talking, but he was upset he didn't get to take pictures of you when you reached the top of the hill. The passenger door opened and you got in.
"Look, Matt. I fell" You said, not caring he was still on the call.
Matt looked at you quickly, your knee pulled up to your chest. You rolled up your grey leggings and there was blood on your knee. Matt knew you were clumsy and hated that he wasn't there to help.
"This girl helped me up and offered to walk me back, but she could've been a killer for all I know so I told her I was fine and ran off. Good thing I was on my way down anyway"
Matt stared at you in disbelief because you didn't trust anyone. "I know girls are less likely but she was looking at my boobs and I didn't like that"
"Matt, are you with us?" His manager asked
Matt looked away from you and back at his phone.
"Sorry, my girl had an accident and I have to take care of it" They ended the call and Matt got his first aid kit that he kept in the car. Matt missed the blush on your cheeks when he said 'my girl'. He cleaned your cut gently but quickly with all the practice he had on you. He put on a bandage and smiled and you when he was done.
"Kiss it better, then it's healed"
Matt leaned in close. His lips were soft on your skin. You wanted to run your hand through his hair and pull his head up to your lips but you settled for just your knee.

"It's baking time, bitch!" You yelled, walking in with your Disney bag.
Matt knows you were going to bake one or two things from the ingredients in your bag. You huffed and put it on the counter. You took the items out and sectioned them off
"Today, young one-"
"I'm older than you"
You glared at him for interrupting you. "Today, smart ass. We're making banana bread and peanut butter cookies"
"Can you do it on your own, I'm busy?" Matt joked, expecting sarcasm in return.
He looked at you as you looked down at the items. He frowned because you didn't get the joke.
"Am I annoying you?"
"No, I'm just a jerk"
You looked at him. "You're not lying to make me feel better?"
"I'd love to bake with you and I'll let you pick the movies because I'm an idiot who takes jokes too far"
"Sorry...I'm overthinking and I came here to relax, but I got too into my head"
Matt pulled you into a hug. He pulled away and pushed you to the sink because you both had work to do.
"Your peanut butter cookies are my drug. I watched you make them, but I think you do extra when I'm around" Matt said, eating the cookies on the couch. You lay with your head on his lap.
"I put all my love into those cookies" you mumbled, close to falling asleep.
Matt stared at you with a soft look.
"I wish the love you put in these cookies was the love you gave to me"
You were asleep on his lap. He knew you missed his declaration. You smiled, took his hand and pulled it to your chest. "I love you"
