New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 16,

Wednesday, a day later:

I opened up my eyes and looked around the room, trying to move but I couldn't. I looked over to Sammy and saw he had his arms wrapped around me, making me slightly move.

"Sammy, you can let go now," I turned around and whispered. "Uh, sorry," Sammy quickly moved his arm and cleared his throat. "Don't worry," I chuckled.

I pulled the sheets off of my body and glanced up at the clock, turning back around to Sammy raising an eyebrow. 

"Hey Sam, you know it's nine o'clock. You have school," I wiped my hands together. "I have to say goodbye to you at the airport" Sammy got up out of bed and shook his body. 

"Aw," I smiled, pushing myself off of the bed. "Now, go get dressed. I have a surprise for you," Sammy made the bed and flashed a smile towards me. 

"Sammy. You know I freaking hate surprises, they drive me mad! I'm the type of person-," I folded my legs. "Who likes to know everything, where exactly they're going and likes to be aware of everything. Maddie, I know. But sometimes you just have to life live like you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow," Sammy cut me off and finished my sentence.

"You know I can't do that," I smirked. "Come on, it'll be yum," Sammy pushed my nose, softly. "Let me get dressed then," I pushed his nose and then pushed him outside.

I locked the door and ran over to my suitcase. I picked out some black jeans, a black crop top and black boots that end just above your ankle. I'm in the mood to wear black. I quickly placed my clothes and checked myself in the mirror. I went into the bathroom and re-did my French plaits, to make them neater. I brushed my teeth and braces, then washed my face. 

I went back into my bedroom and put my boots on. After I grabbed a maroon jumper and tied it around my waist. I went over to my phone and I turned it on. I waited for about 20 seconds before it turned on, making me tap my phone along the floor. As it came alive, I saw I had heaps of missed calls and texts from Matt. 

I went through the messages and it was just Matt complaining I'm not talking to him, and that I'm not with him. Why be with Ella if all you want is me? I put my phone into my pocket and ran downstairs.

"I'm ready," I smiled, walking into the kitchen. "Woah, someone is dressing their emotions," Sammy chuckled, grabbing his keys and wallet. "You know me so well," I smiled while shaking my head. 

We both headed out of the house, closing the door behind us. Sammy unlocked the car and motioned me to go into the car, so I did. We both buckled ourselves in, as Sammy turned on the car. 

After around ten minutes, Sammy pulled up to a restaurant we always used to sneak away to, using our parents money.

"Aw, I remember always running away and meeting here," I got out of the car and chuckled. "And stealing our parents money," Sammy laughed, causing me to laugh. 

"We were like twelve. Can't believe they actually let us in and let us eat on our own," I walked inside the restaurant with Sammy by my side. "I know right," Sammy laughed.

We walked around and looked around for a spare table, finding one that was next to the window. We sat down and picked up the menus, reading it to see the options. 

"What are you going to get?" Sammy asked, pulling down my menu. "That's the most dumbest question ever," I chuckled as I raised an eyebrow.
