Red Flag

Chapter 40

Matt's P.O.V

Today was the day where Ryan could finally take her cast off. Elton and I offered to just take it off ourselves, but she wanted to go to a hospital and get it taken off the right way. It was a slight waste of time, honestly. But I  think it's very cute, she did want to study to be a paramedic at some point when we got back home. It was her trying to do things right early on.

The boys were waiting for us down town, we slept in so we were closer to lunch time than breakfast. It shouldn't take that long tho, Ry explained to the nurse at the reception that they just had to take the cast of. We were forced to wait anyway, I'm not the most patient person in the world but Ryan's go with the flow vibe was kinda contagious at this point of our relationship.

We were currently sitting in the waiting area, I was texting Corey, letting him know we would be here a while. Ryan had her head placed on my shoulder, staring at the floor.

"Sorry" she let out after burping out loud "I didn't have time to close my mouth" she laughed, lifting her head off my shoulder

"You've done way better than that one" I turned to her confused

"I know right?! I'm losing my spark" she told me and I chuckled

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a little boy, around 5 years old, eyeing Ryan as if she were a real life Disney princess.

"You have an admirer" I told her

"What?" She turned from her hand to me, she was picking at the sides of her fingers anxiously.

Grabbing both her hands in my right hand, I nodded at the boy, who was sitting next to his dad while reaching into one of my pockets, pulling her fidget cube out and handing it to her.

"Thank you!" She exclaimed quietly at me, un aware I had brought it with me in the first place. "He's so cute" she said before waving at the little boy.

He was very cute, curly black hair, big green eyes, missing a few teeth. The kid was wearing a bluey shirt and cargo shorts. His little shoes were killing me, tiny black and white Js.

《I want a baby!!》 I whined internally while pouting at the cute boy.

Five minutes later we were both distracted and the boy was now in the back of our minds as he was also doing something else.

"Matt's moving to L.A" she said, grabbing my forearm with her bad hand as well as handing me the fidget toy back.

"What?" I turned to her, putting both my phone and the toy away in separate pockets.

"Yeah, he's moving" she nodded at me while holding her phone up to her right ear "poor thing, Chris just sent me a voice note crying" she said in a sad voice.

"Ryan Evans?" A woman walked out holding a clip board

"Here" I said pointing at my girlfriend

"Listen Chris, I'm a bit busy right now but I'll call you later. Don't cry baby, I know it's hard but try to see the bright side of it" she said into her phone "gotta go, byeee" she then tucked her phone into her purse.

"Let's go babe" I told her, grabbing her arm softly

"You have amazing scaring" the doctor told Ryan as she removed the cast

"I'm free" she joked at the woman

"Can you move them?" She asked, showing her what she had to do with her fingers

I watched as Ry closed all of her fingers individually very slowly a few times and then curled the ones that had been in the cast all this time, her pinky going down as well
