Remenissions (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 85

Lana's POV

I enjoyed the shower after the long flight and more importantly I enjoyed it when taking a shower became more than taking a shower. Matt carried me out of the bathroom, I wasn't sure how, I was resembling a whale lately, but he did and he took me into the bedroom.

It was fabulous as usual, it was one thing I would never get tired of, sex with Matt, it was always exciting and he always made me feel beautiful.

Afterwards I laid on the bed, butt ass naked with the air conditioning going. Florida was a hot hell hole and after our bedroom activities I was extra hot. I thought I was tired and I thought I might nap but I didn't, I couldn't, I was excited. Matt had asked me to marry him, he had actually asked me to marry him.

I turned over and looked at him. He was laying on his side sleeping. He looked so tired, but who could blame him, touring had to be exhausting for him, traveling around the world, late nights and I knew the energy he put into every show had to take it's toll. I was just glad I was here with him, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I looked at my finger, at the ring and smiled. We were actually engaged and I really couldn't believe it and I thought back to a year ago and how different things were.

This time last year Matt was on tour, but he was with Courtney, she was the one traveling with him while I stayed at home, working, sulking, dreaming and I still remember when they came home, how excited I was to see Matt after so long, only to be told he was engaged. My world ended that night, it really did. Matt was my world and he had been for years and it still hurt me when I thought about that night, that party, where they announced their engagement. That feeling of having your insides ripped out, it was horrible and I guess it was something I would never get over. I nearly lost him, forever.

I often wondered what would have happened if Matt and Courtney had gotten married. Well I knew that Matt and I would no longer be friends, Courtney would have made sure of that. Maybe I would have moved away somewhere else, somewhere away from them. I closed my eye's and shook my head, I wouldn't have moved away, in all honestly, I'd probably be dead, I just wouldn't have been able to live, seeing Matt happy, married to someone else, it would have been impossible.

I felt a tear slide down my cheek and I wiped it away. I needed to stop thinking about it, he was here now, here with me, we were engaged and we were having a baby and god, I needed to thank the powers that be for making all of this possible, whoever they were.

As if sensing my mood a certain little someone felt it was time to do a few somersaults, and I smiled, it was an amazing feeling and every time it happened I was surprised.

I reached out and took Matt's hand, placing it on my stomach, smiling, watching him. A smile crossed his lips and he opened his eye's, looking at me.

"Does that child ever be still?" He murmured.

"No." I whispered. "They're like their daddy." And he smiled, closing his eye's and enjoying the feeling of feeling our baby kick around and I knew he loved that feeling as much as me.

"Anyway, what are you doing?" He asked. "I thought you were tired."

I smiled. "I was but I guess I'm too excited." I told him. "I feel like I need to tell someone, I don't know, my best friend."

"Well tell your best friend Lana." He said, getting out of bed. "Do you want a drink?" I nodded and then watched him walk out.

I rolled over, picking up my phone. I could call Marty, but honestly I didn't think she'd care, for some reason Marty didn't like me anymore and I still didn't know what I'd done. But I was not going to think about that tonight, not tonight, not now.

No, like I told Matt, I wanted to call my best friend and tell them, so I would call my best friend and tell them.

I dialled the number and smiled, listening to it ring.

"Lana what are you doing?"

"Calling my best friend." I said softly. "To tell them I got engaged."

"You got engaged?"

"I did." I giggled. "He finally asked."

"Well I would have kicked his ass if he didn't."

I looked up to see Matt walk back into the room, smiling, with his phone to his ear.

"I have to go." I said quickly. "He's back."

Matt shook his head at me and I put my phone down as he crawled back onto the bed.

"You are so weird Lana." He murmured, kissing me softly.

"No I'm not." I whispered. "You're my best friend Matt."

"True." He murmured, pulling me into his arms. "Are you hungry?"

"I am." I said, snuggling into his chest. "Maybe we should go out, with the other's, tell them, celebrate."

"Maybe." He said, kissing my forehead.

"But I don't want to." And I didn't want to. "I just kind of want to stay here, just you and me."

"Good." He said smiling. "Because I don't want to go out either, I don't feel like sharing."

"Sharing?"

"Yes Lana, sharing, I don't want to share you with anybody." He told me, and I looked up at him. "I want to lay here, naked with you, relaxing."

I smiled at him. "I am more than happy to lay here and do nothing."

"Well." He said raising his eyebrows. "We might do something."

"Oh." I whispered as he kissed. "I'm okay with doing that."

He smiled against my lips. "Do you want to eat first?"

"What's on the menu?" I asked, grinning and he laughed. I loved his laugh, I could listen to it forever.

"Seriously though." He said, brushing my cheek. "Let's order some food and we can talk, about the wedding."

I smiled, thinking about a wedding, thinking about marrying Matt. "That sounds good."

"Do you want to get married before or after the baby is born?" He asked, looking at me.

"After I think." I said smiling. "I kind of want to get my figure back, look hot, not like a whale."

He shook his head smiling. "Believe me Lana." He murmured, pulling back and looking me up and down. "You look hot, all of the time."

"Oh stop it." I whispered, kissing it.

"No." He murmured. "It's true."

He pulled me against him, kissing me deeply and I guessed it would be a little while before we ate, but I didn't mind, not at all.

"I love you." He whispered as he pushed me gently onto my back.

And I loved him, so much.
