love affairs

Chapter 3

"Wake up, baby," Matt whispered as he kissed the back of my neck. "C'mon lazy butt, it's already noon!"

Ugh crap, it's late. I turned over and kissed his little nose. "Good afternoon haha. Where are Jack and Jack?" I asked. "Well they woke up around 10 and left shortly after. Anyways, breakfast, well lunch I guess now, is ready on the island. It's your favoriteeee," he chuckled.

I ran downstairs and saw my favorite breakfast food w my favorite desert : banana french toast with chocolate strawberries on the side. "Matt, what's all this for? My birthday isn't until November and our anniversary isn't until September." "Well, I was an asshole yesterday. I don't remember everything really, I just remember I was an ass when it came to you and Nate. I just got jealous, and I can't handle the thought of you with someone else. I'm sorry baby, I hope this will only start to make things up to you."

"Matt, this means so much. And yeah, you were an asshole. I just want to be friends with Nate okay. I love you. I've liked you since freshman year, then I loved you shortly after you asked me to go steady with you, and I'll love you until the day I die okay. Nothing will change that okay, or anyone."

He looked down and I could see a grin grow on his face. He looked up and within a second, he was pulling my face in for a kiss. His lips were so soft, so tender, so passionate. I love Matthew. Nobody can change that. Ever.

bzzzz bzzzz bzzzz bzzzz

My phone interrupted us. "I'll be right back!" I said as I ran upstairs to answer my phone. I didn't recognize the number, but I answered anyways.

"Hello?"
"Hey, Kailani?"
"Um, yeah. Who's this?"
"It's Nate ..."

My heart kinda stopped, and I suddenly got super nervous.

"Oh, hey!" I said trying to sound casual. I was failing.
"Hey, did you get my message last night? Sorry for Sammy in the backround. He was a bit drunk haha."
"Yeah, I got it ..."
"Oh, okay so um .. when are you um free to go out? Hang out, I- I meant hang out."
"Um, I'll get back to you okay."
"Okay, have a good day then. Bye .."

I leaned my back against the wall and sunk to the floor. I felt butterflies in my stomach and my heart was racing super fast. No no no no no. I can't go out with Nate, I can't. I'll fall for him, more than I already have.

"What was that about babe?" Matt said letting himself into our room. "Huh? Oh, it was nothing. It was just my mom calling to check up on me," I lied. I couldn't let him know Nate wanted to go out; and that I wanted to go out with him too. "Oh okay, come down stairs babe. The chocolate is melting on the strawberries," he said reaching for my hands. "I'll be there in a second, I'm just gonna wash up my face real quick," I said pecking him on the cheek.

I locked myself inside the restroom and called Sammy. He answered within seconds.

"Yooo lil mama, what's good? What happened to you two last night?"
"Nothing really haha um I need to ask you something though."
"Go for it."
"What's with Nate? Like I don't know, why does he wanna go out with me?"
"I should've bet money you called me to ask about him hahaha," Sammy started. "And nothing, Nate just ... He wouldn't shut up about you last night. It was kinda annoying. Listen ma, he's a real good guy. He's a total gentlemen, trust. He really likes you. He didn't even call you hot like the rest of us haha. He kept on blabbin' about how gorgeous and stunning you were. I know you're with Matt and all, but my boy would be good to you, good for you. Just ... just give him a chance, yeah?
"You're asking me to cheat on Matt? You're ridiculous Sammy."
"Nooo no no K, just hang out with him. As friends. Then see where that takes you, ya feel?"
"I'll think about it, I gotta go."

I hung up without giving him a chance to say anything else about Nate. I stood up to splash water on my face, and I was blushing. Fuck. No. Noooo.

It was now 8:27 PM, and Matt and I were getting ready to have a scary movie marathon. I picked out Friday the 13th and Sinister. He picked out Insidious 3 and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We had one bucket of cookies & creme ice cream on the coffee table, along with sour patch kids and reeses pieces.

"Baby, you're phone's ringing ... again," Matt said as he handed me my phone.

I had 3 missed calls and voicemails: one from Nate and two from Sammy. I wanted to call Nate back but, I couldn't on our date night. It would be wrong to make plans with a boy I like that isn't my boyfriend, when my boyfriend is in the other room.

"Who was it?" Matt asked as I threw my phone on the opposite couch. "Sammy and some weird number I've never seen before," I replied. Of course I lied about the weird number. He'd throw a fit if he knew Nate was calling me.

We finished watching Sinister and Insidious 3 and went on to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was 12:58 AM and I was exhausted. Matt was already drifting off to sleep so I decided to lower the volume and cuddle up closer next to him. I layed there for quite some time. I kept on playing different scenarios in my head about how hanging out with Nate would be. I mustve thought of 20 different things that could happen, but they all ended the same: his lips pushed up against mine. I snapped out of my day dreams and decided to go to sleep.

There I layed, snuggled up in my boyfriends' arms, dreaming about Nate.
