the butterfly effect (mgg x y/n)

pretty (5)

"mmm it could be better." matthew teased, jokingly judging the inside of my car and the clutter in my console.

"oh shut up. i saw the inside of your car while i was getting in, when are you going to clean out the fast food?" his car was parked next to mine, so while i was getting in my car, i could see inside his windows.

it was actually pretty clean besides a single fast food wrapper i saw but he was nitpicking so i did too.

i let him use my car play on the way there to help him get comfortable but almost all the songs he played i knew.

"omg i love this song!" i started dancing out of excitement.

"SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE A DREEAAAM, THE PRETTIEST GIRL I'VE EVER SEEEEN FROM THE COVER OF A MAGAZINEEE!!" you were both singing as loud as you could.

the grocery store was no more than 10 minutes away and with it being night, traffic isn't like how it is at 5. when i parked the car i was waiting to hear our doors open but they didn't. i looked over to matthew who was already looking over at me.

his eyes flickering between my lips and eyes, almost asking if he could. we both smiled, he grabbed my face and he kissed me.

i smiled into the kiss, i've never felt anything so right before. when he pulled away he had these glistening puppy eyes. i looked back down at his lips, they were soft and pink.

so i kissed him again with more wanting, i reached over the console like i wasn't close enough to matthew but i couldn't go any farther.

i pulled away before it got more intense, sitting back in my seat. he was blushing, he reached over with his hand petting my hair and moving it out of my face to caress my cheek, "pretty." was all he could get out. like what he was looking at was too good to be real.

i looked down, trying to believe what he was saying, not pushing it away completely because brooke told me when someone compliments me to just say, "thank you." i said with a smile.

because when i ignore it, i'm not giving it the chance to be true.

our grocery store trip was mostly just flirting but with no PDA. i think matthew is just worried about the publicity which i understand because at the moment, what do we call ourselves? does this mean something is going to come out of us? i mean we never talked about it yet it just... happened.

i feel like it was a short trip because something tells me he didn't really need to get much from the store, but i think it's cute he used it as an excuse to spend time with me. maybe one day we can just say we wanna see each other and that's it. no reason to, just because.

"can you find where to put the cart back? i'll start the car." i asked matthew while closing my trunk filled with minimal groceries.

"yep." he replied, already on it. i know it's something small but, we'd make a good team.

i looked over from my back window after a bit to see what he was doing because he was taking a little longer to just put a cart back. there were 3 girls talking and laughing, all taking pictures with him. i smiled, they're all meeting their idol. i rolled down my window to listen clearly.

i'm so nosy.

one of them was actually crying, "it's just i genuinely look up to you and i always wanted to be an actor and you're such a role model to me..." she continued showering him with compliments that i know he's eating the fuck up right now. i shake my head and laugh at that thought.

after 2 more minutes matthew came jogging back to the car, "hey sorry about that, usually they just spawn out of nowhere."

i laughed, "no it's okay, they love you."
