ALSO MAT IS BACK FINALLY!!!! im an isles fan so YES GAWD (we still suck) Ok bYe!

SUMMARY: The islanders finally won a game after their losing streak of 8 consecutive games. The boys decided to celebrate and the wives and girlfriends got to tag along. You get nervous due to all of the things happening around you.. how do you react and does mat bother to care?

Imagine begins here:

Mat and I were sat with his teammates towards the back of the club. I start getting a little nervous as one with such bad anxiety does. I start to adjust my dress that felt too high up on my neck even though it was more v cut and lower towards my chest. My leg starts to shake rather than bounce and since it was so clear I was having a nervous breakdown I got more nervous because I didn't want to ruin anyone's night.

I start to feel like I could throw up and that's when I realize I'm mid panic attack in a long island club. Not a good situation to be in, especially when your around 10-15 people your boyfriend spends the most time with. I feel Mat's hand on my thigh, "you doing okay, sweetheart?" he asked as I shook my head and pulled on my dress some more, "would you like to go for a walk maybe? get some fresh air with me?" he asks and I shake my head, eyes tearing up. Mat looks at the guys and then back to me, "why not baby?" he asked and I shake my head again and he tilts his. I look down at my hands and start to pick at my cuticles, "i- i don't - don't wanna ruin- ruin the night." I cough, slightly shuddering as I get the last bit out, not going any volume over a whisper.

Mat takes my hands and stands me up by my arm, gently tugging. He looks at the guys and the girls who were still at the table, others gone dancing and speaks; "we're gonna head out, I'm not feeling well. I'll see you guys on Monday for practice." Mat said, dapping up a few of the guys and walking me out of the club as they said bye to us. I pouted as Mat placed me in the car, "I'm gonna come back baby, I just gotta get to my side. Got it?" I nod as he spoke to me softly.

On the way home I started to calm down a bit and piped up; "Why did you blame our leaving on yourself? I'm the one who ruined it." I whispered and Mat looked at me quickly and then back at the road, "what did you say, honey? I couldn't hear." he said sweetly and I spoke up, "why did you blame yourself for us leaving to the guys?" I asked again and he smiled, "you were already worried about leaving, honey. I didn't wanna be there anyways I just wanted to be with you. Whenever you feel uncomfortable it makes me feel uncomfortable so I wasn't all lying back there." he said and I nodded.

When we got home Mat ran me a bath and sat on the ledge of the tub leaning against the glass shower wall (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/eb/85/38/eb853872fdb75cd0a5c224004b113d76.jpg is what I imagined). He stroked my hair and softly spoke to me allowing me to get a break from talking. He stroked my hair again and kissed my forehead, "I'll be back. I'm gonna run to the store, okay? Don't miss me too much, sweetheart." Mat winked and left the bathroom, shutting the door while I sighed, contently.

Mat came back about an hour later and I was laying in our shared bed in a soft, lush robe. Mat walked into the room carrying a number of goods like, white roses, chocolate, headache medicine, and a fun drink. I was in awe at how well Mat understood me even if I didn't say anything, "How did you know I had a headache?" I asked, completely dumbfounded at how I got so lucky. Mat smiled as he set some of the stuff on the bed, placing the roses and the drink on my nightstand, "I know your routine, and I still have the long in to your oura ring app and it told me you had one when I needed to double check." I smiled at him and thanked him as I took the medicine and ushered him to lay in bed with me and he did.

I fell asleep in Mats arms not too long after that as he whispered in my ear, "I love you, babygirl. I promise to take care of you forever." and I smiled, knowing he was true.

Okay this is so boring but my hands are cramping. Also I would love a fun drink rn ! ! !
