New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 18,

Saturday, a week later:

"Ugh, I can't believe I'm going to see you after three dreadful weeks!" I said Sammy over the phone, rushing around trying to get my stuff together.

For halve of this summer holidays, all of us, plus Ella, are going to Taylor's dads beach house. I am super excited, and can't wait to see Sammy again. I feel so weak and horrible without him, which is stupid I know. 

"Aw darling, I missed you so much. Hearing your voice on the phone isn't the same as hearing it in real life," Sammy said. "Maddie! Breakfast!" Nash yelled through my closed door. 

"Hey, I gotta go. See you soon!" I squealed. "See yeah," He chuckled before I hung up the phone. 

I straightened out my clothes and headed towards the door, thinking about how the holiday is going to be free from parents. I'm looking forward, but it means that anything can happen at that house, anything. I ran down the stairs and ran into the kitchen, buzzing and having the biggest smile on my face. 

I sat down next to Skylynn and watched mum place food onto a plate, pushing it towards me. I picked up a set of cutlery and smiled towards him, pulling the plate towards me. 

"Thanks mum," I mumbled, before digging in. "You're welcome hunny," She winked towards me, then started cooking again. 

"And how many days are you away for?" Skylynn asked, as I looked towards her. "Not long," I swallowed my food in my mouth before kissing her cheek. 

"I'm going to miss you," She frowned. "I won't be gone for too long baby," I poked her cheeks, placing some sausages into my mouth. 

"Can I look after Sawyer for you?" She asked with the cutest smile. "Of course," I chuckled and continued to eat. 

I quickly finished off my plate, listening to Skylynn hum and talk about horses. I smiled towards her and pushed my plate forward, hopping off of the stool and making my way towards the stairs. As I got into my bedroom, I closed my door and headed towards my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and braces, chucking my hair into two French plaits afterwards. Then I walked out of my bathroom and walked over to my drawers. I pulled out my bikini set and placed it on, chucking on a black crop top and some H&M fringed shorts. I slipped on some black sandals and finished off packing, feeling very excited. 

I placed some bras, underwear, makeup, tooth brush, tooth paste, my braces kit and some sun glasses into my suitcase, placing my laptop over my clothes. To say the least, I basically packed everything I owned. I zipped up my suitcase and walked over to my mirror, looking at my white pale skin. The goal is to wear no makeup, since the sun will do me good. I approved my look and grabbed my suitcase and phone, running down the stairs afterwards. 

Nash, Hayes and I quickly said our goodbyes and headed towards the van, that was going to pick everyone but Sammy, Hope and Ella in. As we were picking up the guys and girls, my heart started racing at the thought of picking up Matt soon. As we got closer to Matt's, Jada kept giving me glances making me roll my eyes. Then a couple of minutes later, we arrived at Matt's house. He was the last one to be picked up, as the only seat left was the one at the back with me. Nash beeped his horn, as a happy chap came out of the house. He ran over to the van and opened up the doors, screaming his head off. I laughed and watched him scan the van, his eyes landing on mine. He smirked towards me and headed my way, making my heart skip a beat. 

"Hello," He chucked his bag in the boot and jumped down into his seat. "Hi," I pulled my headphones out of my ears and placed all my focus onto him.
