CHAPTER 13

SAME DAY

I stared at Mattheo in disbelief. He crossed his arms with a raised eyebrow waiting for my answer. I just kept thinking how random it was. He acted like he hated me all the time, besides when I would get upset.

"So?" Mattheo said and I could see he was losing patience. He sighed and started to walk away, I grabbed onto his wrist and he turned around.

"Mattheo," I said and he raised his eyebrow. I grabbed the back of his neck and gently pulled him into a kiss. He kissed me back and moved his hands down to my waist. He pulled away and a smug smile was painted over his face.

"Is that a yes princess?" Mattheo said as he pulled me closer. I rolled my eyes but nodded.

"Why did you ask me to be your girlfriend? I thought you hated me, because of the whole your dad killed my parents," I said as I looked up at him. When I processed what I had said and the realisation came to me. I was dating my parents' killer's son.

"I didn't hate you I just used that as a cover-up. You actually intrigued me when I first saw you. You stood your ground and a lot of people don't normally do that around me,"  Mattheo said and he pulled me into another kiss. As I closed my eyes someone made an 'ahem' behind us. Mattheo pulled away and looked up and I turned around, it was Theo.

"So uh you guys dating? I kinda thought from the uhm matching outfits," Theo said with an annoyed tone in his voice. I decided to ignore it.

"Yeah but keep it on the low. I don't want rumours going around about me and especially about her," Mattheo said as I turned back to him with a small smile. Theo scoffed behind me.

"Well, that's a load of bullshit. You were the one who spread around that Y/n slept with you. You know how upset she got from that?" Theo said as he raised his voice. My face dropped. I pulled my body away from Mattheo and stepped closer to Theo.

"You did that? It was actually you? You said it wasn't. Mattheo you lied to me," I said as tears began to form in my eyes. Mattheo shook his head and stepped closer.

"Y/n I told one person that as a joke I didn't mean to," he said and Theo scoffed again. I stepped further back and as tears ran down my face, I ran out of the party. The only place that felt safe was my room. As soon as I made it into my room I locked it.

I walked into my closet and got out of my dress. I got into my pyjamas and I put my hair into a messy bun. I walked back into my room and climbed into my bed. All I could think about was why would he do that. Was that why he asked me out, just to sleep with him?

As those thoughts ran through my mind, someone started to bang on my door. "Who is it?!" I yelled but they continued to bang on the door. "WHO IS IT?!?!" I yelled again but they continued to bang. I stood up and opened the door, "what the fuck do you.." my sentence was stopped by Mattheo panting.

"Y/n I'm sorry. I was angry and frustrated that day. It's no excuse I know but I really like you Y/n. I want to be yours and I want you to be mine. I'm sorry I put you through that. Please Y/n forgive me. I'm begging you," he panted and I stared at him with confusion yet anger. I sighed and opened my door fully so he could walk into my room.

"Sit down so you can catch your breath. Also, how did you get into the Gryffindor common room??" I asked and he sighed. Mattheo laid down on my bed and panted.

"My... Dad," he said as he tried to breathe in a normal pattern. As I stayed silent he caught his breath. "Y/n I'm sorry. I know what I said was horrible," he said and I sighed.

"Mattheo I'm more annoyed that you lied to me. You know what it's fine, just give me time," I said as I fidgeted with my fingers.

"Of course, princess. Do you want me to go?" Mattheo asked as he sat upright. I shook my head and I climbed into bed. "Let me get into something," he said with a smile as he walked into my bathroom. As he walked out he was wearing a jumper and just shorts. He laid down next to me, I placed my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around my body.

After a couple of minutes, I closed my eyes but there was a knock on my door. "Y/n, you okay?" The person asked. I could tell it was Theo by the knock and his voice. Mattheo immediately got up and opened the door, as I laid in the bed with my eyes closed.

"She's busy at the moment so if you could come back later, that would be perfect Theo," Mattheo snapped as he opened the door more. I opened my eyes a little and gave Theo a small wave which he returned ever so slightly.

"Oh. Oh okay," Theo said but barely above a whisper. Mattheo slammed the door in his face and climbed back into bed. He placed my head on his chest again.

"Don't be horrible next time," I mumbled and Mattheo laughed. He wrapped his arms around me.

"I could have been way more horrible. That was barely anything," he chuckled as I closed my eyes. I nodded off and so did Mattheo as we cuddled in my bed.
