New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 27,

Monday, a day later;

I yawned, fluttering my eyes open to see the sight of Matt. I was wrapped in his embrace, which made my heart flutter. I smiled at my sight and moved my fingertips along to his dirty blonde hair, running my fingers all through it. Light snores escaped from his lips that were partly opened, which looked so adorable. 

Every now and then he would talk in his sleep a little, but I couldn't hear 'cause he was mumbling. He shifted in his sleep, that meant he was gonna wake up any minute. I quickly removed my hand and watched his eyes slowly open, meeting mine. He furrowed his eyebrows and pulled the covers further up his body, his eyes slowly closing again. 

"Why'd you stop?" His voice came out raspy; which made my heart melt. 

I playfully rolled my eyes and placed my hands back through his hair, watching his lips form into the most innocent looking smile. I giggled as he opened his eyes, his hands slowly making way to my face. He tapped my nose, causing me to scrunch it up and slightly move backwards. 

"You're beautiful. Even when you try to not be," Matt muttered as his fingertips traced down along my chin. 

I blushed a little as I rested my hand on his neck. He's always making me blush and I hate it. He always gets me, and I'm not mad about it. 

"I'm gonna go get dressed," I tried to get out of Matt's grip. "No," He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms tighter around me. 

"But Matt," I whined. "Shh, I want to stay like this for a little longer," Matt kissed the top of my head numerous of times. 

I sighed and wrapped my arms around Matt, knowing I'm not going to win this fight. As we laid in the most comfortable position there is, we started talking about our past. I didn't go too far, as I didn't want to scare him about my mum. Sammy is the only person that'll know, and I mean it. 

"Come on, it's time to get ready," I kissed Matt on the check as I rubbed his bare back. 

Matt groaned and laid back on the bed, releasing me from his grip. I sat up and looked down at Matt, grinning from his actions. 

"Do we have to go too school?" Matt rubbed his face and looked at me. "Yes. Now come on," I patted his stomach and sat up. 

Matt groaned once again and pulled himself out of bed, pulling his covers back up to the top. I got both of our uniforms and placed them on the end of his bed, smiling at my layout. I got our school bags, placing them next to our uniforms. I then picked up our shoes and made my over to the end of the bed. 

"Breakfast first," I placed the shoes at the edge then looked up at Matt; who was smiling so cutely. "What?" I asked, while he just kept on staring at me.

"Nothing. Let's grab something to eat," Matt chuckled, not bothering to put a T-Shirt on. "Okay," I wiped my hands together and tried to not look down at his body. 

We both made our way out of the bedroom and down into the kitchen, where no one was. I folded my arms and sat down onto a stool, where Matt walked over to his pantry and pulled out some cereal. Matt soon poured us both some cereal, sitting down next to me afterwards. 

"Morning," Laura came into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes. "Morning," I politely smiled. 

"Morning mum, you alright? You look tired," Matt said as he went to take a spoonful out of his cereal. "I'm fine, don't worry about me," Laura said as she started getting cereal for herself.
