Just us - Matthew Sturniolo

Romance movies

~ Your pov ~

Walking downstairs with Matt quickly following behind, all eyes are on us as we enter the room. "Wanna play ?" Chris asks excitedly, "yea I'm down" I say with a noticeable smile on my face. Chris deals me my cards and we all start playing.

20 minutes later *

"Uno!" Larray says as he smirks , "there's actually no way your gonna win for the 3rd time in a row" Nick states . I have 4 cards left so I still had some hope left for myself , we make another go around and it's my turn again, I put down a blue 7. Larrays turn is next. "Bruh" he says with a convincing face of disappointment, and just as we're about to celebrate him picking up more cards , "guess that sucks for you guys huh" he puts down a blue 2. All of our faces quickly change into shock and larray does a celebration dance. "You bitches just don't have the luck today" he says taking a sip of his drink. "I put my cards down and look at Matt, "I really thought I was gonna win this time" I say with a small giggle. "Well then we can play later so you can win" he tells me, my face flushed.

Nick breaks me and Matt out of conversation and we all start conversating a bit before Chris asks the next question. "What do you guys wanna do now" he asks us all. I stay silent and let the others decide. They all choose to watch a movie, we all shift over to the living room and take a seat on their huge sofa , Matt walks in another direction and soon comes back to us holding blankets, handing them out to everyone, there was 3 blankets so we were all sharing some.

Matt plops down and hands me the last blanket, I thank him and unfold the blanket onto myself. "Should we watch something scary" Britney suggests, "we could, there's also some new comedy movies and love movies added on Netflix this month" Nick states , "oo let's watch romanceee" Britney says , "what do you think y/n" larray asks me and they all look at me but Nick as he's scrolling through movies . "I don't mind it's whatever you guys want, I'll enjoy anything" I claim. "Romance it is" Chris says as he did a jumping movement on the couch switching his seated form to a Chris-crossed one . (Lol)

We all decided on a movie after a
While of searching for a good looking one, it's a
Movie about 2 college students who are complete opposites of each other but can never leave each other alone and end up falling in love. As the movie starts I make myself comfortable and I offer Matt some of the blanket as I notice how cold it's getting in here. He smiles and shares the blanket with me. We're sitting on the lay out part of the couch , so it's a L shaped couch for reference. Matt's laying propped up and I'm Chris-crossed sitting next to him. As the movie continues to play I noticed Matt slowly get closer to me. I inch closer to him as well. Our hands meet each others under the blanket and we both freeze. I'm no longer focused on the movie and all I can think about is my hand grazing his . "Would you like me to move away" Matt whispers softly to me making it so only I hear him. "Do you want to move away,,?" I respond back , still facing the screen. He then places his hand onto mine and I instinctively clasp my hand onto his as-well.

The movie finishes and I get up immediately get up and make my way towards the bathroom, locking myself in. Looking into the mirror my palms start to get sweaty. A million thoughts running in my head. Why is he being like this suddenly. He didn't even care about me a couple days ago and now he's making moves on me. Does he think I'm easy is that why. Or does he just do this often. I'm so confused. I take a couple minutes to gather myself and my thoughts and walk out. I stop noticing Matt in the hallway , waiting. I continue walking almost making it past him but he stops me. "Is everything okay?" He questions me. "I'm okay" I respond, "if your uncomfortable here I can take you home" he finishes. "I look up at him and we lock eyes, then focus on each others lips , we inch closer slowly, embracing our desires. "What is going on with us,,," I say in a very soft whisper. "I don't know" mat responds, not taking his eyes off my lips. "We shouldn't do this" I say, both of us continuing to move closer, "we shouldn't" I feel his breath on my lips, and then I'm felt with his lips on mine. A soft slow kiss that lasts a couple seconds makes it feel like we're the only ones in this house right now.

We slowly pull away. "What I said the other day, I know you said you didn't remember but, I told you that I was scared of getting close to you because of my supporters, but truthfully, I'm more scared of what happens to me when I'm with you. From the first time we ever talked I felt like I was attracted to you by some pull or force, and I didn't know how to feel, I've never felt like this before" he goes on, "I tried ignoring you, I drove myself crazy trying, I was hoping you'd be at jakes party again, then when I saw you at the party, I knew then that I At least wanted to try ."

I stared at him, not knowing what to say. "I thought this whole time you hated me and I didn't know why", "It hurts me you thought that" he says with a Slight chuckle looking down. "I didn't know how to tell you, I've never exactly done this before" he tells me.

Just then Nick walks down the hallway rushing towards the bathroom, "scuse me guys" he says as he walked past us. "We should head back before we start hearing farting sounds coming out of there" he laughs and I join him. He offers his hand to me and I take it, we then join the others again, hand in hand.
