I promise

Chapter Five

"Italiano sound good Bentley?" Matthew said as we pulled out of my drive. "Yum! Sounds great!" I said while smiling. We arrived at a fancy restaurant and he parked his car, got out and ran around to my side and opened my door taking my hand and smiling widely.

Inside I saw the menu and I looked at Matthew and said "ummm no this isn't what I meant by Italian" He looked up in confusion. "What?" He asked. "This is too expensive! I can't have you pay 20 dollars for chicken Alfredo for my dinner!" "Bent it is okay. Trust me."

I felt horrible I didn't want to have anyone pay that much money on me just for food. I didn't complain about it any longer because I could tell I wasn't going to win this battle with Matthew. We finished eating our amazing food and headed out to the movie.

Once we arrived at the theatre Matthew turned to me and said "Well darling what movie would you like to see?" I blushed a dark shade of red and said "You pick! I'm down for anything" I smiled. He intertwined his fingers with mine into a strong grip. Not the strong-strong kind that make you feel like you're hand is going to get broken. The protecting kind. I liked it.. It made me feel wanted for once. We ended up seeing the new Katy Perry movie in 3D.

We really just chatted and made small talk through out the entire film, but yet I didn't care. It was amazing. At the very end the lights went dark and all of a sudden I felt masculine arms wrapped under my legs and behind my back and pick me up. It took me a couple seconds to figure out I wasn't getting kidnapped, I was being carried by Matthew. I started laughing at him and said "What are you doing dork?" "Carrying my girl so she doesn't get tired out on me!" He replied with confidence. Butterflies fluttered throughout my stomach I couldn't believe it. Did he just call me 'his girl?'

He swung me onto his back and gave me a piggy back ride throughout the huge three-story mall. We window shopped and laughed for what seemed like hours.

"I had such a blast tonight Matthew. Thank you so much" I stated as he walked me to my front door. He wrapped me into a big warm hug. I smiled and hugged him back. He let go and said "You're welcome sweetie, no big deal. I had such a great time with you." I giggled as he said "Goodnight Bentley!" "Good ni-" I was interrupted by his soft lips swiftly brushing against mine. He smiled his gorgeous smile of his and walked to his car. "Get some rest" he said. "I will" I replied stepping into the front door and closing it behind me.

I looked at my phone it read: 12:34am. Thank goodness my parents aren't strict. I smiled and replayed the whole entire date in my head as I pulled my hair up into a sloppy bun, replaced my shorts with sweats and changed my shirt into a cami. I washed my face thoroughly trying to get all of the makeup off. Once I finally crawled into bed I couldn't get to sleep because all I could think of was 'I just kissed Matthew'.
