Love Is Worth Waiting For

Chapter 14

Matt's pov.

I was just on a call with Danielle. I was trying to persuade her to stay with me. I was planning on asking her to marry me. But she had other plans. She had cheated on me. I was prepared to stay with her. But she wasn't. "I'm sorry but it's over," she says before ending the call. I sigh. I block her number and text the guys telling them the news. I soon had an incoming call from Max. "Hey," I say. "Hey I'm sorry to hear that man," Max says. "It's okay," I say. "You should tell el. I'll talk to you later" he says. I sigh. "Heah cya" I say before ending the call. I wait a few minutes before calling El. "Hey," I say. My voice began to sound like I was about to cry. "Hey, what's up?" El asks. "Uhm. Well..." I pause. I sigh. "Uhm Danielle cheated on me" I say quietly. "Keep your door unlocked," they say before ending the call. What did they mean by that?

Later.

I was just sitting on my bed staring at the ring I was going to give Danielle. "Matt I'm here for you" I heard El say. I didn't say anything. I didn't even look at them. I didn't move an inch. I just sat there fiddling with the ring in my hand. They sigh as they sit down next to me. They place their hand on my leg. "Matt do you wanna talk" they ask. I still stay silent and don't move. "Okay," they say getting up. They turn to leave but I grab their hand. "I was gonna ask her to marry me" I say still holding their hand. They sit back down and look at me. I look at them. "I guess I'm just that ugly," I say. They give me an annoyed look. They stand up pulling their hand away from mine. "Ugly? You think you're ugly? Are you blind? You're the fittest guy I know. Fuck it. Not gonna lie I would date you" they blurt out. "Take the ring," I say. "Why?" they ask. "I know you will wear it," I say. I sigh. They take the ring and put it on the ring finger on their right hand. They sit down next to me. I place my head against theirs. "You know I never liked her," they say. "I know," I say. "I'm here for you," they say. I sigh. "I love you El," I say. "Uhm I love you too Matt," they say. "You should go to your room," I say. "Yeah I should," they say. "Good night," I say. "Good night," they say as they get up and leave my room. Why did I say that? Why did they say it back? Did I mean it? But why would they say it? I guess I'll never know. I sigh. I should get some sleep.

El's pov.

I woke up at 11 am. I was just lying on my bed staring at my ceiling. All I could think about was Matt. I just hope he's okay. I quickly get up and make my way to his room. I knock and wait a few seconds before entering. I look around his room. Until my eyes stopped on Matt. He was just sitting on the edge of his bed looking at the floor. "Are you okay?" I ask. He turns to look at me. "I think so," he says. I sit down next to him and place my hand on his shoulder. "I'm here for you," I say. He looks at me and grabs my hand. I smile. He lays down pulling me on top of him. I try to get up but as I do I accidentally sit on top of him. I look down at him. He gently pulled me off him so I was lying next to him.

Later.

I woke up lying next to Matt. I look at him. He looked so peaceful. I lay on him placing my head on his chest. I smile. I soon hear him whisper something. I only heard a bit. "I like that you're here with me..." he whispered. I wanted to ask what he had said but he was now asleep again. I look at him. Well, now we are both single. I guess I don't have to feel bad for having feelings for him anymore. I sigh as I place my head on his chest. I soon felt his arms wrap around me. I look at him. He was already looking at me. I tilt my head a little confused as to why he was staring at me. He brushes my hair out of my face tucking it behind my ear. He then starts messing with his hair. I look at him and smile. He smiles back at me. "Are you okay?" I ask. He nods and smiles. "I'm glad you're okay," I say down again. I feel him place his hand under my chin and lift it making me look at him. "Are you okay?" he asks. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I try to talk but no words come out of my mouth. I nod. "Are you sure?" he asks rubbing his thumb against my cheek. I nod again. "Okay," he says as he wraps his arms around me again. I lay down again placing my head on his chest. I began to feel tired. I close my eyes and I soon fall asleep.
