5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 188

Matthew Espinosa. I don't expect any of you to know him but I DO. But first, let me calm down a bit. I need to process this for a second.

Breathe, Nicole, breathe.

Somebody pinch me.

Is this really happening?

I can't feel my legs.

Come on. Shake it off. Shake it off.

Okay, I'm back. Now that I'm a bit calmer, I need another moment to regain the feeling in my body. Uno momento, por favor.

5 MINUTES LATER

Okay, sorry. I'm back. Now to tell you who Matthew is. A couple of years ago, Jessica was a little bit of... uh, an Internet freak. She was on YouTube 24/7 and she had all the social media sites. And you see, Jessica would always tell me everything she's seen online like the Top Songs out or the latest videos and there was this one guy Jessica OBSESSED about. His name was Matthew Espinosa. When Jessica finally matured a little bit, she left all those old thoughts behind and I guess she forgot to care. But what would happen if I told her I was dating the guy she used to obsess about? Would she not care? Would she freak out? I honestly have no idea. But back to Matthew, Matthew was a famous viner and he always made videos with some of his other friends that I forget the names of because, come on, you can't expect me to know the names thoroughly after a few years. Seriously. Anyway, Jessica sent me a picture of Matthew once and I said he was cute and Jessica freaked out. She was all like, BACK OFF, B*TCH, HE'S MINE! YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET HIM! And then a whole fight broke out between me and Jessica and it went on for like, a week. But now I have proved Jessica wrong! But oh, my god. She was so close to getting him at school if I hadn't made the first move. Thank goodness I did what I did. Otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. Standing in the lobby of the Galaxy Thea -- "Nicole! Are you alright?" Matt snapped his fingers in my face and I looked at him. He said, "Listen, I didn't know I had to tell you who I was because I didn't think you'd care. You seemed like you liked me for who I am and that's why I asked you out. You didn't like me for my fame or money. You liked me for me."

Nicole: You have money?! I mean! Umm, yeah. I liked you for you. But this just makes you 10x better... again. Seriously, why do you keep impressing me by the hour? First you break out into a full on karate kid and now I find out I'm dating a CELEBRITY?! This is so overwhelming.

Matt: *laughs* But I hope Luke gets here soon before the paparazzi does.

Nicole: Oh, my gosh. You have paparazzi?

Matt: Yeah, don't you?

Nicole: Well only sometimes.

Matt: Uh oh. Well if both of us are dating... and both of us are famous... oh no.

Nicole: What?

Matt: Better start to bring a disguise when you go outside 'cause when two celebrities are together, it can get wild. And I think somebody already caught us.

Matt pointed to a group of girls in the arcade who instantly started squealing. We heard one of them say, "Oh, my god. Is that Matt and Nicole!? Holy sh*t, come on, let's go!" Then the girls came at us until we heard a car honk outside. We ran outside together and got in the car as fast we could and closed the door. It was raining by the way. Luke saw us and how we were a little bit shocked. "Whoa, what happened to you two?" Said Luke and Matt responded, "A close fan call." Luke started to drive and say, "Ohhh, I should've known. 2 famous people outside will probably get attacked by fans and paparazzi." I widened my eyes.

Nicole: Wait. You mean, you knew Matt was famous?

Luke: Well yeah, of course. So did Calum and Michael and Ashton too. Wait. You mean, you didn't?

Nicole: No!!

Luke: Oh. I thought that was why you liked him in the first place.

Nicole: I never like guys for fame or money... *mumbles* That's just a bonus.

Luke: What was that?

Nicole: Never mind.

We continued to drive and eventually we got home and Matt came inside with me. Calum looked at me and said, "Yes! You came home!" Then he said, "Oh. Uh, I mean, hello, Nicole. Did you have a nice time at the movies?" I told him all about it and then Matt had to go. We were at the door and Luke was about to drive him home. "Well see you on Monday, Nicole," said Matt. Oh, yeah. It's Friday today. I replied, "See ya'." And just before Matt left, he kissed me on the cheek and walked out. I gaped my mouth open and blushed. Luke was smirking with wide eyes. He chuckled before walking out to drive Matt home. I turned around and saw Michael, Ashton, and Calum smiling. Yeah. Calum was smiling too. Ashton said, "Aww, are you blushing?"

Nicole: Shut up, Ashton.

Calum: You know, it takes real guts to kiss a girl in front of the people that protect her. He took a real chance that could've ended with someone losing an eye.

Nicole: What's that supposed to mean, Calum?

Calum: *starts to walk away* Nooooothing.
