M Is For...

Chapter 5

"What?" You ask with a frown, confused about his intentions. "NO! I don't mean it like that! It's just, Tom is not here and if you'd like you could sleep over. I'll take Tom's bed." He awkwardly smiles. "Matty, Are you alright?" You ask a bit concerned. "I'm fine. I just like spending time with you." he emphasises. "I don't have anything with me." You say, uncertain if this is a good idea. "What do you need? I can give you a shirt of mine to sleep in. We have a spare toothbrush you can have. Tom even has these nice skincare products you can use!" Mattheo says, all excited. "I don't know, Matty..." You see his smile fade a little as you remain unsure. "You don't have to if you don't want to, of course." he says, looking a bit embarrassed. You can tell there is more to it that he's not telling you. "Alright. I'll stay. Where are those skincare products you were talking about?" You smile at him, and he smiles back.

You're ready to go to sleep and climb into Mattheo's bed. He walks out of the bathroom and sits down on Tom's bed. "Do you want to watch a movie before going to sleep?" Mattheo asks. "I think I'd fall asleep within the first 5 minutes." You let out a big yawn. "Alright, Princess. Goodnight." Mattheo says and lies down. "Goodnight, Matty." You say and quickly drift asleep.

You wake up in the middle of the night when you hear Mattheo talking in his sleep. He's mumbling stuff as he tosses and turns. "Matty?" You push yourself up on the bed and look over at Mattheo, who isn't reacting. "Please. Leave her alone." He mumbles and keeps moving a little. "Matty!" You say a little louder. "She has nothing to do with this. Let her go!" Mattheo sits up straight frantically dripping in sweat. He looks over your way and lets out a deep sigh. "Are you alright?" You ask concerned as you pull your legs out of the covers, turn his way, and sit up straight. "I'm- Fine. It's nothing." He says, still trying to catch his breath. "Matty, you need to stop this secrecy. Just tell me what's going on?" You say firmly as you walk over to him and sit beside him on the bed. "I just had a nightmare. Nothing new." He says as he starts to calm down. "Nothing new? Do you have them every night?" You ask and put your hand on his arm. "I haven't had one in a while actually..." He tells you. "Do you want to talk about it?" You look at him, waiting for an answer. "I just want to forget the whole thing," He says as he runs his fingers through his hair in relief. "If you say so." You get up to go back to bed but Mattheo grabs your hand. You turn around. "Don't go." Mattheo says and lightly pulls you back down. He looks you deep in the eyes and holds your face in his hand. "Don't leave me." He leans in closer, closing the gap between you until your lips touch softly, hesitantly at first, but it quickly intensifies. The warmth of his breath against your skin sends shivers down your spine, and for a moment, everything else fades away. It's filled with unspoken emotions and desires that have been lingering ever since you met. As the kiss deepens, you feel a rush of emotions flood through you. In that moment, as your heart beats in sync with his, you realise that this is more than just a kiss - it's the beginning of something new and profound between you and Mattheo.

You wake up to the sound of your alarm. Reaching over for the nightstand, you realise your phone isn't there. "Good morning, Princess." Mattheo tightens his grip around your waist and nuzzles his face into your neck. You smile and turn around to face him. "Good morning, Matty." you give him a quick, sweet kiss. "Just a moment," you say, turning your arm towards your phone, making it levitate in your hand to turn the alarm off. "So f*cking cool." Mattheo says, crashing his lips onto yours. Kissing him feels natural, despite it only having happened for the first time mere hours ago. "We should probably get up." You say after breaking the kiss. "Yes. You definitely should." Tom is standing next to you with crossed arms. You turn your head towards him as he talks and bury your face under the sheets. "I don't care if you guys have s*x, but don't do it in my f*cking bed." Tom says with a deadly stare. "Calm down. We didn't have s*x. What are you doing back so early anyways?" Mattheo asks him. "Father and I were done with our business earlier than expected." Tom says with a straight face. "Now get out of my bed." Tom pulls his sheets off of you and you quickly cover your face with your hands. Tom rolls his eyes and goes towards the door. "I'll see you two at breakfast. Don't have s*x in my bed." He leaves and shuts the door with a loud bang. "Well, that was awkward." Mattheo says and you can hear him smirking as he says it. You side eye him and throw a pillow at his face. "Was it? I didn't notice!" You say sarcastically and walk in the bathroom to get ready for breakfast.
