New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 21,

Tuesday, the next day:

I walked into the kitchen, throwing my body about, looking at everyone being cute on valentines  day. I looked at Matt, watching him cover Ella's eyes with his own two hands. I felt slightly jealous that he was giving her something, but I know I shouldn't. Matt removed his hands from her eyes revealing a massive teddy, that was bigger than me, sitting down in front of her with a box of chocolates wrapping in it's arms. A frown fell upon my face, shrugging it off and making my way over to the fridge. 

I opened up the door and looked at my options, tapping my index finger along my chin figuring out what to eat. I opened up a box of pizza, seeing a few slices left. I nodded and pulled it out of the fridge, taking it over to the table where Nash was sitting at peacefully. 

"Why are you eating pizza for breakfast?" Nash placed his phone down upon the table face. "Because," I slightly shrugged, pulling apart two slices. 

"It's not healthy," He laughed as he watched me bring the slice up to my hungry lips. "Does it look like I care?" I took a bite out of a slice, speaking with a full mouth. 

"Don't complain to me that you're fat," He pulled himself up from the chair, slowly starting to walk away from me. 

I flipped him off as he turned his back, making me roll my eyes and shake my head. I finished off my slices and walked over to the bin, swallowing the remains in my mouth as I chucked the box into the bin. I wiped my hands and walked into the lounge, as everyone gathered. I cleared my throat and sat down next to Sammy, leaning up against his shoulders. 

"Guys. I wan't to say something," Nash looked between all of us and shakily smiled.

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at him, locking my hands together. Nash pushed himself up from the couch, nervously taking a breath in. All I was thinking was has something happen back home with our family?

"So," He bit his lip, "Sarah, since we have been hanging out a lot, I want to ask you something," He started to smile very brightly. "Oh my gosh," She squealed, looking at Jada.

I smiled slowly, watching her eyes light up just as Nash's did. I knew the two of them had a spark since day one, no one really pointed it out though. 

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He held a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates, raising an eyebrow. "Yes!" She jumped up off of the couch, into his arms.

 I clapped along side everyone as I pulled myself up from the couch, wanting to get outside for some reason. As everyone died down, I tapped Nash on the shoulder and then made my to outside. I walked over to the pool and took my sandals off, dipping my feet into the fresh water water. I chucked my sandals onto the floor, sitting down next to them. I placed my hands into the water and sighed, looking up to the sun. 

"Hey Maddie," Jada appeared out of nowhere as she sat down next to me. "Hey Jada," My eyes squinted as I watched her sit down. 

"What's up?" She dipped her feet into the water. "Basically everything," I shrugged.

"Your upset because Matt isn't your valentines, aren't you?" She jumped to conclusions. "Okay, no I'm not. I'm upset that I have fallen out with him," I got a little tensed up, as everyone assume's I want him desperately. 

"Well make up," She shrugged. "It's not that easy," I rolled my eyes, looking down at my feet. 

"Of course it is," Jada leaned back onto her arms. "Jada, he has hurt me. I have a right to be mad at him. But I'm just.. you could say, addicted to him," I made circles with my feet in the water, feeling my heart race at the words.
