Still wrapped around him, he sits me on the counter and stands in between my legs. “I love you." he says, causing me to smile.
"I know." kissing him, I pull away when the guys walk through the kitchen doorway.
"So uh, whenever you two are done mate." Oli says as he sits down at the table.
"Right."
"You really poured a glass of water on a waitress because she thought (Y/N) was your daughter?" Oli asks Matt, eyes wide open.
"Yeah."
"Did he?" Oli asks, looking towards me now.
"I don’t know. I left after she said that."
Everyone got silent.
"Anyway," Matt says as he turns to look at the rest of the guys “tomorrow is her birthday sooo.." his voice trailing off.
"16, yeah?" Oli asks.
"Mhm."
"Ohhh shit." Lee says as he looks at Matt and I.
"That’s enough mate." Matt says, causing us all to jump at how deep and loud his voice was. “She wants to spend the day with me so don’t stop by without calling first."
"Fair enough." Jordan chimes in from behind Lee.

LATER THAT NIGHT

"Matt?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"Have you told your parents about me yet?"
He went silent.
"Matt."
"No."
Sighing, I stand up off the couch and walk to the room without saying a word. Crawling into bed, I turn the nightstand light off and close my eyes to fall asleep.
At least tomorrow is my birthday.
As I begin to drift off, I hear Matt walking towards the room. “Baby." he says as he walks over to the bed and sits down beside me, resting a hand on my thigh. “Stay up with me until your birthday."
Rolling over to face him, I remove the blankets off of me and sit up, causing his hand to fall. “Fne." Standing up, I follow him out into the living room.
"Matt!" I say with a smile across my face when I look to see he’s built an entire fort out of the living room.
"I’ll talk to my parents after your birthday. Okay?" Smiling, he pulls me into his arms. “I do love you."
"I know you do, Matt. I love you too." Grabbing my hand, we walk over to the fort. He pulls up the sheets to the entrance of our fort allowing me to walk in first, “I can’t believe you did this!"
"I knew you were upset and I thought this would be a cool way to go into your birthday."
Sitting in front of him under the blankets, he turns on a few battery-run lamps and opens a bottle of wine. “Matt.." I say as I watch him open it. “It’s okay baby. It’s almost your birthday." Sighing again, I wait for him to pour me a small glass. “Here. Take it easy." he says as I take a sip.
Pulling another bottle out from behind him, I see him also grab two small containers. One with what looked to be either salt or sugar, and the other one had a sliced up lime in it. “Tequila Matt?" I say as I watch him fill up a small shot glass.
"I don’t want to drink on your birthday so I’ll do a shot or two now. Don’t worry, I won’t drink much. Okay?"
"Right."
