Shaky Legs// Ch14

Matt's P.O.V

Waking up I felt my body ache just a little bit as I stretched my arms out quickly snapping out of my happy buzz when I felt no one next to me. Only to be soothed by the sound of humming coming from the foot of my bed. I smiled softly as I rested back in my bed listening as she slowly adjusted feeling a soft buzz as her eyes landed on me. Her humming stopped as she saw me smiling. 

She laughed softly before crawling up to me planting a soft kiss on my lips allowing me to savor the soft hint of cherry from her chapstick. Smiled wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her into my lap feeling sad when she softly pulled away mumbling that we need to get ready to work. I groan softly complaining that we should just stay in bed all day and let Foggy and Karen handle things only to be informed of a bet that was made by the two making me laugh as she said we should make them work for the info of who gets to win their little bet.

I agreed with a simple nod listening as she softly sang in the shower smiling at how happy and relaxed she sounds. I get annoyed as I hear a knock on my door. Quickly I pull on some sweats and walk over to the door smelling something... off.

I stopped and just listened. As another knock came a voice yelled out asking if someone was home. I waited still listening out for Amber as she turned off the shower hearing her go quiet when he yelled. Then I heard her softly whisper to back away from the door knowing I could hear her from the bathroom. 

I slowly backed away careful not to step on any creaky floorboards. Once I got to her side I smelled the smell of Iorn letting me know that her ink was around and by the cool feeling emitting from her hand, I had a feeling it was a knife of sorts. 

She stepped away only for me to pull her back softly shaking my head softly she seemed to hesitate before I felt something shift and I heard her softly seemed to neal seeming to get ready for a shot she needed to take and it was confirmed as I heard a click of a gun being cocked. 

I gave her a what the fuck look and she softly mumbled she can maneuver the ink in many ways as long as she knows the basics of what it looked like and acts like. I couldn't help but smirk at how this girl kept surprising me. After a few moments, I could hear the guy outside the door grumbling before he walked away allowing me to breathe. 

I smiled letting Amber know it was safe allowing her to relax before mumbling a good and laughing about not wanting to fight her ex in a towel. My head quickly wiped towards her asking her if she was kidding receiving a snarky response asking if I meant the towel or her Ex. 

She said she wasn't completely sure considering she could barely hear the voice but mentioned it sounded very similar. Hearing the confirmation in her voice made this fire flare in my soul at even the hint of her being in trouble. 

As she stood up I pulled her close kissing her before pulling away to get ready to work laughing when she let out this annoyed noise before pulling something out of her bag and pulling it on before we made our way out the door. 

We walked our way to work my hand on her arm and as we walked I couldn't help but listen to our surroundings scared that he might be around and he might be following us luckily he wasn't an issue.

By the time we made our way to work, I could hear Foggy and Karen debating why we might be late. The main thing being the obvious one of us sleeping together making me laugh.

Amber glanced at me with a confused look asking me why I was laughing in the middle of the hallway receiving a simple answer of Foggy and Karen's conversation making her laugh too. 

I could hear the smile in her voice when she says she was excited to see their faces as they freak out as we walk in. I just smiled as I shook my head and laughed when we walked in and they both shut up as we walked through the door scared shitless. 

As I let go of her arm I let my hand softly graze her ass as I walked towards my office. reveling in the soft deep intake of her breath I heard escape her lips. I smiled walking into my office and listening to her grumble about me being a tease.  She walked to her desk talking to Karen about how the night was simple and not filled with anything exciting making me roll my eyes as I laughed. 

I listened until Foggy walked into my office demanding to know what happened last night. I shrugged and said that it was nothing exciting knowing full well Amber could hear me and I felt my dick harden as she laughed right outside making Foggy turn slightly to look at her weird before closing the door.

He began to pester me begging me to know what happened only to receive a shake of the head as I let my hands glide over the bumps on a sheet of paper as he grumbled about the bet making my eyebrow arch in question. 

Although I already know about the bet I wanted to make him squirm a little as I asked him what bet he was talking about. He stammered a little as he tried to formulate what the bet was about. I could hear Amber and Karen going through a similar conversation Karen asking and Amber avoiding the question while laughing her angelic laugh.
