Rekindled Love (Book 4) || A Tainted Love Book || Matt Sturniolo Fanfiction

Avalon

Yesterday Matt came over to the house and we played with Dahliah for a few hours. I wish I was lying when I say that him being there was the best afternoon that I've had in a really long time. It had been a few days since I had seen Matt, I was really bored and quite lonely because my brother offered to spend time with Liah, taking her for a few days because he hardly gets to see her. I heard my phone ringing and answered it almost immediately, not caring who it was.

"HELLO?" I accidentally yelled.

"Hello, this is the Toyota dealership for your local area we are calling to reach you about your cars extended warranty," The automated message read out.

"Oh go FUCK YOURSELF," I hung up the phone and flopped on my bored letting out a loud huff.

My phone rang again, and I actually looked to see who it was before I answered, Matt, thank GOD.

"Hello?" I answered immediately. 

"You're bored," He laughed.

"How did you know-"

"I can hear it in your voice," Those words made my head spin, he really did know me too well.

"Please hang out with me," I fake cried.

"Maybe."

"Matt PLEASE," I groaned.

"I'll be there in literally a minute," He laughed.

"Why do they keep letting you in," I laughed, half serious.

"I tell them I'm your husband, I'm here, coming in," He hung up the phone, leaving me baffled.

I sat there staring off into space, and I heard the elevator ding.

"Here," He handed me a Chipotle bag.

"FOOD!" I jumped up, "God you're amazing."

I saw him blush but I didn't care enough right now to make fun of him, tearing into my food.

"When was the last time you ate?" 

"You don't wanna know," I replied.

It wasn't intentional this time, I didn't mean to not eat I just simply would forget because I was on the same eating schedule as Dahliah, I would eat when Liah ate, and she's not here right now, so I don't pay attention. 

"Why aren't you taking care of yourself?"

"I have forgotten because I haven't fully been paying attention to anything since Liah left," I laughed.

He stole one of my chips and I just smiled at him.

"What?"

"Nothing," I looked down at my bowl and kept eating.

He took my bowl from me and let it on my nightstand, then tackled me. I laughed as we play fought like two children. I pinned him to the bed and sat up, sitting on his lap.

"Ma-"

"Don't, just- don't," He stared into my eyes. 

"I was going to tell you that your hand is about to go in the guac," I laughed.

He pushed it over further so his hand didn't land in the food, then put his gaze back on me.

"No," He laughed with me.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"For what?"

"Taking care of me," I laughed.

"I always will," He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. 

I got up and grabbed my food again and finished eating then I stood up.

"Wanna go watch a movie? I have loads to choose from," I smiled.

"In the movie room though right?" He asked.

"Well duh, why else would I have a damn movie room," I let out a laugh.

We walked upstairs to the room, and I turn on the monitor, and he looks through the DVDs. 

"If you can't find anything, I have all the streaming hooked up to it too," I turned on the popcorn machine.

"Alright!" He handed me a movie and I was shocked by the pick.

"Terrifier 2? Are you sure? Can you handle it?" I laughed.

"I think people are over exaggerating when they say how bad it is," He rolled his eyes.

"If you say so, I haven't been able to finish it though," I put the DVD into the monitor, and I hit play on the starting screen.

I got popcorn out of the machine and handed him some, and he focused on the movie, not even 10 minutes in he was looking away from the screen.

"I fucking told you," I couldn't help but laugh.

"Shut up," He threw a piece of popcorn at me.

"Do not," I threw it back.

He stayed the rest of the day, we had broken out the game of life at one point and got in an argument about whos' salary was higher. This is what I imagined our life to be 4 years ago, this is how I wanted our life to be now. I would never even touch another man, because all I want is Matt.

"MATTHEW BERNARD!" I yelled laughing as he prayed whipped cream on my forehead. 

"You got some right," He looked at my lips, "There," He leaned down and kissed me, I felt like I had melted because of how hot that was.

"That was smooth," I laughed.

"Smooth enough to let me take you out? Please, we don't even have to act like it's a date," He gave me a weak smile.

"No, we can," I put my hand on his hand that was resting on the counter, "Tonight, we'll do it together, and if I have fun maybe I'll get back together with you."

"MAYBE?" He accidentally yelled.

"I'm not going to make this easy for you Bernard."

"I know you aren't and I respect that," He smiles.

"I'm gonna go change really quick, alright?" 

"Yeah, yeah take your time," He squeezed my hand and I practically ran to the elevator. 

I changed into more night out clothes, and then went to put on a little makeup. One thing I love about Matthew is that he never complains about makeup. I finished in a matter of fifteen minutes and ran back down the stairs, to the kitchen where he was sitting. 

"Okay I'm ready," I came into the room.

"You look too good for me," He says in awe.

"Well, we'll see," I smiled.

We walked out of my house to his car, and he opened the door for me, like he always had done.

"Thank you," I smiled.

There was no doubt that I was still inevitably in love with him and I couldn't do anything about it. There is no way I could deny it anymore.
