End Of Me -Matt Sturniolo-

Chapter 50

I blink my eyes open revealing the light behind the curtains peaking through illuminating the familiar room with the morning sun. I watch as he lifts his hand to bring one fist to rub his eyes.

We're back home in Boston. It's been a month since my Grandma passed away, and the loss still feels fresh, but being with Matt makes the pain subside even if it's just for the smallest moment.

Matt opens his eyes and sees me observing him.

He smiles

It's a sleepy, sleepy smile.

I can't help but smile back. I feel like I've been split open and stuffed with sunshine. I always love seeing a sleepy Matt. He looks lazy right now. It is adorable.

"Come here," he says reaching for me.

I crawl into his arms and cling, and he holds me tight against him. Drops a kiss on the top of my head. Whispers, "good morning sweetheart"

"I like that" I say quietly, smiling even though he can't see it. "I like when you call me sweetheart"

He laughs then, his shoulders shaking as he does. He rolls onto his back, arms stretched out at his sides. God, he looks so good in the mornings.

"What do you wanna do today?" I ask him as I get out of bed.

"I was thinking maybe I could take you to coffee and then maybe slightly possibly to the beach later to watch the stars? I missed you so much while I was sleeping. I just wanna be around every hour of the day." Matt softly laughed.

"You can't wait 8 hours without seeing me even though I was right next to you all night?" I laugh back at his comment.

"Scarlett, I've waited my whole life for you. For the love of God, put me out of my misery and let me woo you with coffee" he stared at me with a small smile appearing across his lips.

"So are we talking two dates in one day?"

"I was thinking more like one big fat never ending date" He shrugs as he steps closer to me.

"What will we do in between coffee and watching the stars?" I ask as I wrap my arms around his shoulders.

"Anything you want Scar, as long as I'm with you it will be the perfect day" He softly says as he wraps me in a warm embrace.

And that was the moment I knew.

I kiss him briefly on the cheek before heading to the bathroom to wash up.

"Oh girl rough case of bed head you've got going on there" Chris looks me up and down from the end of the hallway.

"Rough case of drinking a pepsi at 11am?"

"You know what leave the pepsi out of this" Chris looks offended before turning to go downstairs.

I walk out the bathroom feeling refreshed. I bump into Nick on my way out, basically doing the potty dance outside the bathroom.

"GOD what where you doing in there a FULL BEAT?!" He screams as he shoves past me.

I laugh at him as he slams the bathroom door shut before going back into Matt's room to change.

Matt knocks on the bedroom door a few minutes later, "ready to go?" I nod as I grab my jacket from the floor, He smiles at me before whispering, "You look beautiful"

"Thank you so do you" I blush as we head downstairs.

"Where are you guys off to?" Chris asks from the couch as Nick pauses what appears to me the minion movie.
