meriah never had anyone. then she had madi. then she meets the triplets and happens to fall for one. but, when trust issues and past relationships show up, will they last? or will matt and meriah just be another la couple who just doesn't work out?
"ughh i loveeeee high-c" meriah exclaimed after she took a sip of her drink.
after they got to mcdonald's, matt ordered for the both of them, and then drove to an empty parking lot so they could eat.
"dr.pepper is way better." matt said as he watched meriah with a smile on his face.
"whatever"
after a couple minutes of comfortable silence, matt spoke up.
"i'm sorry if i was rude earlier."
"oh no, you can say your opinions. i mean dr.pepper is good, just not on a high-c level."
"no, like at your house. i felt bad for not really talking, but i just have trouble meeting new people i guess."
"oh. matt you don't have to apologize for that, i get it. well not really get it like i went through it, but like i understand and you're all good." meriah said with a small smile on her face.
matt smiled at her before finishing off his chicken nuggets as she finished off her mcchicken sandwich.
"i was so nervous to meet you and your brothers today."
"really? you really played it off well"
"yeah, i mean i don't have anyone else. all i have is madi. and all she had that she was really close with was me and her mom. and then she has you guys. not that i was jealous, but like if you guys didn't like me, madi would have to choose. and then i would never beg her to choose me, hell i'd push her to make other friends. but then i'd be alone." meriah said as she looked at matt in the eyes. that's one thing they both had in common, they looked at people in the eyes when they talked to them.
after a few moments of silence, meriah spoke up again, feeling awkward.
"i'm sorry for dumping all that on you." she said as she looked out the window.
"you don't have anyone? parents? siblings?" matt asked her, disregarding her last statement.
"oh, i'm an only child. and my mom um overdosed when i was 14. my dad is in jail, serving 2 life sentences so he's not around either." meriah answered as she turned her head to look at his pretty blue eyes.
"i couldn't imagine my life without my brothers." matt said, and when she looked out the window again, he felt like he said the wrong thing.
"but now you don't either."
"what do you mean?" meriah asked as she once again held eye contact with him.
"imagine your life without us. me and my brothers. because we really liked you, if you liked us too that is"
"you have really pretty eyes"
"oh , um thank you" matt spluttered, in shock, not expecting the conversation to change so fast.
"matt, im gonna ask you something really crazy. and if it weirds you out, just start driving and we'll pretend it didn't happen and sing rihanna all the way home. okay?"
"okay." matt whispered.
"can i kiss you?" meriah asked.
not only was matt shocked at her question, he was in awe of how much confidence she had when she asked.
matt said nothing as he leaned in and placed a kiss to her lips.
