Chicken Shop Date *ᴹᵃᵗᵗʸ ᴴᵉᵃˡʸ*

Merry Christmas (4.4)

Make sure you read 4.3 first x

~*~*~*~ 29th December ~*~*~*~

Both you and Matty stayed up chatting again last night, both until you were almost falling asleep on each other again. And today with him being busy you've not FaceTimed because he had been busy with family in the morning, and he'd gone to Sheffield in the afternoon, and you were spending the evening and night over at Amelia's.

Regardless though, you've been in contact most of the day, and it's been incredibly flirty. And that all started this morning after you'd already been messaging for a while and you moved on to the topic of the films you had to watch for the Golden Globes, but then the conversation changed to what your favourite films of all time were.

You seem to have pretty similar taste in films, despite the few niche ones that Matty name dropped that you had yet to see. He said that you could watch them together, but you said if that's the case, then you'd be making him watch some Rom Coms that he'd yet to see because he thought they were too cringe, but he would trust your judgement.

You name a few, and Matty ends up scorning you for watching La La Land and you automatically defend it. Telling him that it has to be one of the ones that you watch together because it's full of music and romance, but then you warn him that he isn't allowed to make fun of you when you inevitably cry at it.

Noooo baby, you can't be upset when you're with me, can't have that xx Is the message you receive first, and he makes you coo at your phone but then he sends you another which makes you have a completely different reaction: However, I'm always here if you ever need a shoulder to put your legs on xxx

The gasp that you let out makes your family that you're sitting around look at you and ask if you're okay. Obviously, you just play it off like you've not just had a mini stroke in reaction to that message.

He really is going to be the death of you.

You take a minute to compose yourself, and you literally have nothing to reply to that other than scorning him. Because you really can't be sexting him so early in the day.

Matthew...

It's 11am!

His reply seems innocent, but you know he's far from it. You can practically picture his smug grin as he typed out, Just giving you something to think about, take your mind off being sad x

You decide to scold him whilst also flirting, Yeah, and putting me in an entirely different mood xx

But Matty just teases you right back, Mhm good, think of me baby xx

You're a menace xx You reply, biting your lip to try and stop the embarrassed smile that's dying to make an appearance on your face.

When his reply comes through, all you can do is shake your head, You know it xxx

Flirting like this goes on for the rest of the day. Many times does he have your jaw dropping at his teasing messages, but you give it him right back most of the time.

You fear that he only liked you on your date because of your un-fussed humour that you can turn on and off, so you bring that back for some of your texts. You want to appear more confident to him and not always the embarrassed and flustered mess that you are most of the time when you FaceTime.

If anything continues after New Years, you're sure that you'll become accustomed to Matty and what he's like, but you really don't want to get too ahead of yourself. So you just make yourself appear more in control of your emotions over text and you flirt with him first too when the opportunity arises, and Matty can't lie he loves it. But he also loves when he can see that he's got all flustered too. He just really likes you.
