Red Flag

Chapter 20

Ryan was currently taking a nap on the waiting room at the Pittsburgh Improv, while Matt filmed the introduction to the Rife on the road episode. The green eyed boy was a bit worried about her, he kept glancing away from the camera to look at her.

She had been like that all day, very quiet and sleepy, she had eaten a little for lunch, had zero breakfast cause she overslept and had been particularly cuddly, which was weird cause she wasn't one to engage contact, really.

Matt woke her up like 10 minutes before he had to go out so she could at least wash her face, he wanted her there, the show wouldn't be the same without her back stage laughing at his stupid retorts.

She actually cracked up the entire show, the brunette loved glancing at her and seeing her leaning on her knees and holding her stomach. There was a fraction of a second where Matt turned around, pretending to write something on an invisible blackboard and Ryan found herself checking him out, his outfit was as baggy as ever but she knew very well that under those jeans hid a perfectly round butt she would smack every time she got a chance to.

Tonight was no exception, obviously, as he walked past her heading to the bathroom once the show was over and they were packing she gave his butt good smack, making Matt yelp in surprise and turn back at her offended.

"Excuse you?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

However, he was not able to hold his laugh in for much longer as she gave him her best fuck boy face.

"That hurt tho, I'm gonna check for redness" he said walking out to go to the toilet as she rolled her eyes playfully, mocking her eye roll he closed the door.

A few minutes later they called him out to show him something, his framed picture on the wall of fame. They asked him to sign it and he did happily, handing the marker to Ryan he smirked at her. The short haired girl looked up at him, beaming with excitement and took the marker from his hand.

Not wanting to ruin the picture she drew a small smiley face on a corner.

Right as Callum was turning the camera off, since they had finished filming the wall of fame update, Ryan popped her head out of the witing room doorway and spoke up.

"Matt, can I borrow your hoodie?" She asked shyly.

"Sure, but it's not that cold outside tho" he told her as they walked back into the waiting room.

"Yeah, I know but I'm really cold. I think I might be coming up with something" she shrugged while slipping his oversized hoodie over hers, fixing the hoods into one another as he stood in front of her.

The brunette grabbed her cheeks and leaned down, kissing her forehead to check for fever.

"Hm...you don't feel warm" he shrugged and she slowly pulled him into a hug, placing her head on his chest "you feeling okay?" He asked, rubbing her back softly.

"Meh" she let out groggily.

"Why you so sleepy today, bubba?" He asked, leaning his nose onto her hair.

"I don't know" she said before yawning.

The girl ended up falling back asleep on their hotel bed way before diner time, Matt tried waking her up and he even asked her if she wanted to eat something but she just shook her head and let out a quiet:

"No, thank you" she mumbled, not even opening her eyes as her boyfriend stroked her hair.

"Kay, we'll be down stairs. I'll  take my phone with me if you need anything, want me to leave the TV on baby?" He asked, leaning on his elbow onto the bed.
