I look at Matt strangely and give him a once over before I start the car. “I’m going to practice so if you are coming you need to tell me?” I asked looking at Matt like he was dumb. “Jamie, I want you to answer my question? Your different you change your hair and you slapped me and ignored Peyton since we’ve been hear what going on because you need to tell me. I need to know that the girl I lo- care about is okay?” He may think I didn’t notice but I heard what he was about to say and that confused me even more than anything.
“Okay Matt answer me this. You told me you loved me but then a week later your back with Carly and everything’s good again. Why would you even come if you were with Carly? I don’t want to see you two together, you may be over me but I’m not over you” I only just realised what I had said and I tried to back track. Then next thing that happens get’s me by complete surprise. Matt grabs me and pulls me onto his lap and crushes our lips together. It’s been so long that I can’t help but moan at the feeling of his lips on mine, they way we melt into one makes me feel cared about.
We pull away from each other and Matt gives me a quick peck on the lips before I hop back into the driver’s seat and go off to practice. If I had turned my head I would off seen Ryan staring at Matt and I in shock and anger. I explained to Matt that he wouldn’t be allowed to view practice as he was part of a different gym and we didn’t want them seeing our teams before comps started. I also told him to forget about the kiss as he was with Carly and I didn’t want to ruin something that I had practically wrecked before.
Matt understood where I was coming from and as soon as we got to the gym he told me he’d wait in the front office and walk down to Whataburger which was 5 minutes away from the gym. I said bye and gave him a quick hug and walked into the practice area. Just before turning my phone off I saw I had a message from Ryan that said “We need to talk” that made me worried. It seemed serious and whatever it was I would likely get into trouble for doing something. I switched my phone off and started stretching with Eric and Lucas who where my stunt group for this year.
About 20 full outs later Black had finished class for the night. Pink put on a performance for us as we did for them because we both wanted those Worlds rings back this year and we had so much determination it was crazy. I was blown away with how good Pink was looking this early in the year. I couldn’t wait to start competing seeing as we had just been asked to compete in the new Majors divisions of IOC5 and IOC6 which was exciting. I’d been to Majors for the past two years and couldn’t wait to go again. If you won you received a Majors ring which I wanted really badly.
I stayed back at the gym for 10 minutes waiting for Matt to get back and also get my uniform measurements. I couldn’t wait to wear Blacks unis as they were simple designs and they were classy. They were also way comfier than Cheetahs Worlds uniforms which I thought where the ugliest unis I’d ever worn. I was getting more excited and impatient to compete now, even though we had nearly 5-6 months until our first competition. James thought we could have a comp just in GT and have all teams compete against each other so we had practice. I thought it was a great idea.
I walked into the main office when I saw Matt holding a bag of Whataburger which made me run up to him and snatch the bag off him while running to the car. Matt chased me and bet me to the car and got his seatbelt on first which made me playfully shove him. Matt had bought me 3 honey chicken biscuits and a bag of small chips which made me give him the biggest hug in the world. “I’m so happy you’re in my life Matty” I whispered to him before kissing him softly on the cheek.
Matt blushed and quickly smiled down at me before his phone started ringing. Matt quickly grimaced at who was on the phone and I peeked and saw it was Carly, which made me roll my eyes. I give Matt a quick look when he finishes he’s hushed screaming phone call. He tells me that Carly found out that we kissed and that Ryan had told her after we left. I rolled my eyes at that, he was such a good ex best friend… NOT
I asked Matt if he was upset and he looked shocked before looking me straight in the eyes and saying “Of course not”. Carly and I have history but it isn’t always pleasant. Carly was rude and always yelling at me and hitting me every time I went and talked to either you or Hayley, and after we first broke up because I was in love with you Carly went all weird and when you and I decided to have a break, she just automatically decided we were together and gave me no say”…. Matt looked so angry at himself that I quickly wrapped my hand around his and gave him a tight squeeze.
That encouraged him and he continued. “After that, she threatened me that if I didn’t go along with the fact the two of us were dating then she’d hurt you, and I could never allow that to happen, but clearly it didn’t go to plan when as soon as we were along I kissed you like no tomorrow” Matt said winking and smirking at me which caused me to roll my eyes playfully and finally start the car.
We talked the rest of the way home, and when we entered were happy to see that Carly had left and gone back to Texas but everyone else was piled on my bed like a puppy pile. Peyton looked up as soon as I walked in and asked where all my cheetah stuff went. I gave her a annoyed look before walking to my cupboard and pulling out a whole box titled Old Cheetah Stuff. I pulled one blanket out and threw it on my desk before telling the others to take what they wanted. It included other cheetah clothing, blankets as well as a CA pillow that I no longer wanted.
They all took what they wanted but not before making sure I really wanted to give it away. Blake then asked me what would happen if by any chance I went back to Texas who would I cheer for. Honestly I’d thought about it a lot and there was only one place I could even consider cheering at if I did move back to Texas and I told them straight out “Spirit of Texas” which made a whole ton of them gasp. Nobody could actually believe I’d choose the so called “rival” team which was bullshit in itself.
They only had three teams competing against each other this year, and in previous seasons only had one which was the IOC5 division that competed against Black Smack. Which we were going to dominate this year which would be exciting to see happen. They asked me about life in Kentucky and where I was thinking of going to uni and things like that. I told them I would either go to Stanford, UK, UCLA or Louisville, and that I was starting at duPont Manual High School when the Summer came to an end which I was excited about as I’d already met one girl that when called Chase and she was awesome. She cheered for GT Platinum and was an amazing flyer.
When we finished talking and catching up everybody went to there own rooms and I started to get ready for bed. I had a quick shower and washed my hair before getting changed and hopping into bed. I was nearly asleep when I felt Matt come and cuddle up with me. I snuggled into him and quickly grabbed something of my bedside table before pulling Matt’s arms out and tying on the lucky penny bracelet I had bought when I was in Florida.
Matt asked me why and I told him simply so even when I wasn’t with him, he would always have me watching over him and believing in him. Matt kissed the back of my neck and we fell asleep in each others embrace and I felt content with life. I was hoping it would stay this way.
Yeah this took a while, but I was at Nationals and didn't bring my computer. I also lost inspiration for this story but it came back xx
