Meant to Be His❤❤❤

chapter 24

Fiona

Matthew can't help staring at me. He was telling me cheesy lines that I never imagined he would have uttered. He would wipe away something near my mouth maybe a drop of catsup or mayo, and I couldn't help but to lean on his touch. He would hold my hand and touch my hair. He was telling me that I'm beautiful even with my short hair. I don't know if he was just making me comfortable with it as I didn't have a choice but to cut it due to my head stitches. Thank God it's starting growing long. I remembered that time at the hospital where he held me throughout the procedure. I was clinging to him while the doctor was stitching. I didn't know but it sort of soothed me and felt the pain lesser holding unto him. We were not together then but the attraction and the pull were too much that even the circumstances seemed to cooperate.

"I love you", he blurted out.

"I know. You already told me, remember?", I smiled half teasing him. He was holding my hand and started kissing my knuckles making my stomach flip again.

"Thank you for letting me", then I felt his lips on me. He was going slowly. Nipping my lower lip. Teasing me to open and offer my tongue. But I didn't. There were too many people in the diner.And PDA this way was too much for me.

That's when I heard an obnoxious voice coming from behind.

"Sanders, you finally got her", James from the hockey team blasted. "So your months of moping finally paid off. I knew it. It has to be this lady here, as you always look like a lost dog when you watch her from afar," and he settled himself beside me, earning a glare from Matt.

"Lay off man", he said still holding my hand. He seemed a little embarassed by this little information imparted by his teammate. But I find it cute watching Matt blushing a little because of his friend's big mouth.

"You were always watching me?", I asked him as he squirmed in his seat. "I thought you didn't even look at me. You made me feel like you didn't even know me because you were ignoring me this whole time".

"Awww, you're very wrong there pretty baby. He always look, no, I meant he was actually staring at you when you're not looking," James continued. He was enjoying it too much that Matt shoved him on his shoulder.

"Don't you have any cheerleader to screw or sluts to hook up with and leave us alone?", Matt asked him annoyingly.

"Oh, brother, you knew from the very start who I wanted to hook up with. But I guess she's off the market now, for real". And James looked at me with a very longing look which didn't escape Matt's attention.

He stood up abruptly then grabbed my hand and led me towards the door.

"Let's go Fiona. We'll find a place somewhere without these annoying people lurking on tables", he spat and pushed James on the way.

"Hey, come on Matt. I was just kidding man. Don't forget our game tomorrow", he shouted as we neared the door. "Bye Fiona". I just looked at him with a duh face and went out following Matthew still pulling me.

"Asshole!", Matt cursed as he opened the passenger door of his car and let me in.

"Hey! Don't let that creep ruin our first date", I told him as I caressed his arm aiming to cool him down.

"Don't ever go near him nor let him touch you. I swear am gonna kill him."

"I won't I promise,"I told him. "He was just being a jerk. Don't be too affected, I'll not waste a single glance at him."
