She said the air is so clean. (Matty Healy fanfic)

11

Light is pouring in through the large windows of my shitty apartment.

Im laying in bed naked, with Matty.

I manage a smile and study his sleeping face. He looks so tired, even when he is blissfully asleep. His stubble makes him look so rough.

"Staring is impolite" he growls and his eyes slowly open.

"Sorry, I like it when you sleep" I kiss him swiftly on the lips, and his lips curl up in delight. "You're beautiful yet so unaware of it."

"I like you" he says in a sexy voice and nuzzles his face into my neck.

"Good." I say running my fingers through his hair and kiss the top of his head. "What would you like for breakfast" I ask sweetly, and begin getting up.

He quickly grabs my waist and pulls me back down to the bed, and he pins me beneath him.

"Hm, id like you, with a side of, well you" he says and kisses me sloppily.

"I think ill have the same" I smile as his expert hands explore.

"I need coffee" I say breathlessly into Mattys chest where my head is resting.

"I need Pain killers, food, and a coffee doesn't sound like a bad idea" his fingers run through my messy sex hair.

"Well i guess we should get up then"

"Agreed"

We sit there like this for a while.

"Juliette?"

"Matthew."

"You ready to go?"

"I suppose"

I sit up, swing my legs over the bed and stretch my arms into the air and bend from side to side. I grab the sheet off the bed and wrap myself in it.

"Im going to use the restroom, if you need anything holler"

"Alright, love"

I walk into the bathroom and look at myself. My hair is a mess and my makeup is still slightly smudged regardless of my efforts to remove it last night. I have love bites along my collar bone, shoulder, neck, stomach, hips, and thighs.

I hear a knock.

"Hey, theres someone at the door thought i should tell you instead of opening it" Matty mumbles through the door.

"Shit. Um just go answer it, I still have to get dressed"

"You sure?" He asks awkwardly. Then I swing the door open, still completely nude and his expression changes from worried to awestruck.

"Just answer it" I say walking to my drawer, grateful I put curtains up to separate the giant room.

"Alright, love" His eyes are still fixated on me , then he turns and walks to the door, with only his pants on. He has love bites spread about as well.

He opens the door quietly.

"Hello?" He says in a hushed tone.

"Um, who the fuck are you? Wheres Jelly? I mean Julie." I hear a familiar voice.

I rush to the door, in only a pair of panties and a new shirt.

"LEX!" I shout. Embracing her as Matty awkwardly looks at us in confusion.

"I guess im interrupting something?" She winks.

"Oh, no. We were just about to leave. I was getting ready and he-" I motion to Matty, who introduces himself. "Said someone was here and yeah" I giggle.

"Okay, well I didn't here from you last night, and Chris said you were with hollywood sign guy, I think his exact words were 'Lex, he's shady. I think hes going to hurt her' and I got worried. So I decided to check on you." She started walking to the kitchen.

Mattys jaw tightens slightly and he looks to me as she walks away.

"Hollywood sign guy?" He mumbles.

I pull him in for a quick kiss. "No one else needed to know your name." I giggle "um lex?"

"Im going to go get dressed" Matty says before grabbing his clothes and heading to the bathroom. "May I borrow your toothbrush?" He shouts.

"Yeah" I shout back.

"What J? When were you going to tell me you were screwing a hot brit?" He nudges my shoulder.

"About that.. He's hollywood sign guy, the one with bad intentions and a big ego" I laugh awkwardly. "Christian is overreacting as usual"

"What the fuck? Thought you hated this douche." She shouts. "He's obviously a fucking loser, from the way you described him"

"I like him quite a bit now, we talked about what happened. He's far from a loser"

"Oh so you talked in between him fucking you and him being an ass to you? How is he far from a loser? I mean, he smells of sex, cigarettes, weed, and wine. Classy Jell, classy"

Shes called me jell ever since we met, she was drunk and instead of pronouncing Julie, she said jelly.

"He's actually really sweet. Stop being such a judgemental bitch. His band is actually quite famous, and I smell the same as him. Does that me a loser?" I shout, tears threatening my eyes. "Leave." I whisper.

"you kno-" Her tone is now hushed, i cut her off.

"No. You know that ill do whatever i damn please, so get the fuck out so I can fuck my loser asshole of a man" I begin shouting again, the tears flowing now.

"Okay. Bye"

She walks out the door angrily slamming it behind her, and I fall to the floor in tears. I just gave up my best friend for a guy I barely know.

I feel him behind my body on the floor, his hands grab my shoulders and he pulls me into his lap. He's sitting with his legs crossed and im balled up in the middle. Crying into his chest as he strokes my hair.

"You didn't have to stand up for me to her" he whispers into my hair.

"Yes Matty, I did. You're so much more than a loser. I like you, im not going to let her interfere in our-" I stop mid sentence.

What are we?

"Relationship?" He asks.

"Is that what were calling this?" I manage to choke out in between tears.

"Were not friends, last time I checked I dont enjoy kissing, cuddling, and shagging friends." I can feel his grin against my skin.

"Okay. So its a relationship, but no exclusivity or labels."

"I suppose thats a good description"

"Im hungry. Can we go eat now?"

He brings his hands to my face and wipes my tears with his gentle touch. Then gently kisses my lips.

"Finish getting ready. Ill be here waiting for you" He releases me from his embrace and I try getting up as gracefully as possible.

"Thank you" I smile.

"No, thank you" He smiles back at me.
