The Little Things ✔️

Would you ever consider?

The cold breeze ran all over my face as me, Reece and Mat sat on our sofa on our roof. Mat held me in his arms his head resting on my head. We were both watching Reece play in the leafs that surrounded us. Mat takes his head of mine and puts it on my shoulder instead. He breaths a sigh and closes his eyes. I look down at him. His light brown hair is moving with the breeze and shines from the dim fairy lights surrounding us.
"What's up?" I say. He lifts his head back up and then puts it back down if he was thinking but lost his trail of thought.
"I was just wondering."
"Wondering what?" I say with curiosity clearly in my layered in my voice.
"About us.............I know this is a stupid question but would you ever consider......" He trails off.
"Consider what mat?" I say stroking his hair. He sighs again.
"Come on mat you can tell me. I won't think it's stupid I promise." I reassure him.
"Ok. Would you ever consider us being more than girlfriend and boyfriend....I mean you know more than that.?" Even the words boyfriend and girlfriend send shivers down my spine. Was he suggesting marriage? My hand freezes in its motions and he seems to realise.
"I know stupid right."
"N-no mat it's not. It's just your so god damn perfect it doesn't feel real you calling me your girlfriend." I say stuttering with shock. He sits up and cups my face in his hands.
"Al, it doesn't feel real calling you my girlfriend. Because your to God damn perfect to be even real. I feel like I'm going to lose you any second. That's why I asked what I did. Your beautiful in every single way and I don't know what I would do without you." Suddenly Reece perks up from what he's doing. He's obviously been eavesdropping.
"Mat would be very upset and cry like he does when he's at home. He muses you very much." Reece says in a very clear and sweet tone. May giggles a bit but I can stop but smash my lips into his. We hold each other for some time before we break away.
"So I guess that's a yes?" He says
"To what?" I say
"To making this link unbreakable?"
I'm speechless I have no worlds. He tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear and smiles at me that makes me suddenly go very weak. There's a short pause before my phone starts vibrating. I convert my eyes down to my phone and realise it's my mum calling. I haven't spoken to her.....well.....since she left me that angry voice mail about not going to the concert. I look back up at mat and he squeezes my hand and I take a deep breath and answer the call.
