Red Flag

Chapter Eleven

Gallo's smile disappeared slowly as the face that popped up on his phone screen wasn't Ryan but Matt.

"Gallo, what's up dude? How you doing bro?" The brunette young man asked cheerfully.

"Uhm...hey..Matt, wh-where's Ryan?" The brown eyee man asked confused sd to why her boyfriend answered a call from her best friend.

"Yeah, Ry went out for a run. She took my phone on accident, we have the same case, lock screen, everything and we listen  to music on mine all the time so her headphones are always linked" he explained shortly "anything you want me to tell her?" He smiled

"No, I..Uhh...call her later" Blake nodded awkwardly.

"You sure? I don't mind being a messenger man" Matt shrugged with a small lopsided smile.

"No, it's fine. Thanks" Gallo said.

"Okay then" and with that they were out of topics to talk about.

"Heyyy Rife" Severite's face came into frame from behind Gallo.

"Hi Kelly, how are you man?" He smiled at the blue eyed man.

"Good, good. Hey, I watched your special the other day. You're funny man" Kelly told him.

"Thanks bro, I appreciate it" he closed his eyes while giving Severite a thankful nod.

"So, when are you sending Evans back? Y'all hiding a baby over there or sum?" Kelly laughed at Matt's overly nervous face. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about but still, he was panicking.

"Only a couple more days and she's all yours again but, if I were Boden, I'd start looking for a temporary replacement cause I'm going on a little...tour..let's call it, around the area and if she wants to I'd love for her to come" The brunette explained. "You can't get fired as a fire fighter, right?" His eyes went wide for a second.

"I...don't think so" Kelly furrowed his eyebrows "okay Matt, something about the glare I'm getting from him tells me that Gallo wants his phone back so, it was nice talking to ya man. I'll talk to Boden for you and say hi to Ryan for me" Kelly said quickly before Blake took his phone back and ended the call.

"Dude chlill, Kelly was just talking with him" Joe told the brunette as he shoved his phone into his pocket.

"Yeah, what is your problem Gallo? Matt's really nice, you should give him a chance..." Stella said from behind the kitchen counter.

"My problem is that, if I call Ryan she should answer and not her dork of a boyfriend with his 'oh, we share a lock screen and a playlist and meeh meeh meeh meeh meeh'....stupid..." he yelled at his team mates before walking out angrily.

"....okaaaayyyyyy" Darren let out looking around to check if everyone was as confused as him.

The black haired girl walked into the apartment while breathing heavily. Turning the music off she looked up, finding the kitchen absolutely tidy.

"Matt?" She called out after hearing voices come from his room.

"In here" his voice sounded calm, she walked over to the hallway while putting her headphones in their case and pressing the button that got them to start charging.

"Dude, I ran into a few girls. Swear to god one of them offered me a hand job in exchange for your number so...expect a call soon" she joked and the boy giggled at her comment.

"Speaking of calls, Gallo called you. He seemed upset so I guess it's personal, he didn't let me take the message so he should be calling you later?" The boy sat up on his bed. "Going to the gym tonight?" He asked.
