Unforgivable

Chapter 17 (+notice)

Matt smiled, and hauled his body farther up the length of the bed. I combed my fingers through my hair which was long enough to drape over half of my back. I walked out of his bathroom, and down the hall until I reached the bathroom. 

Reaching up to tie my hair back, I set my phone on the counter, and quickly shut it off as Booker’s name flashed across the screen.

Why aren’t you responding?

I splashed water across my face, staring up into the mirror to get a better look at myself. This is what’s real, Rhea, my voice echoed inside my head, this is real love. I stuffed my phone into the pockets of Matt’s long basketball shorts and headed back into his room, smiling as Matt had his body sprawled out among the blanket.

“Are you trying to be seductive or-”

“W-well, I was-”

“You’re such an idiot,” I laughed, walking over to him.

He smiled, and sat up, stretching his arms out towards me.

“Just come here,” he giggled through a grin.

I yawned, and fell back onto the bed, closing my eyes to take in a breath of air.

“I’m worried, Rhea,” Matt spoke, “do you think people will make fun of me at school?”

“Course not, that’s cruel.”

“It’s easier to pick on people when they can’t get you back,” he sighed.

I buried my face into one of his pillows, breathing in his familiar scent. Feeling his cold hand slip under the back of my shirt and run up my back, my body shivered in response.

“Go to sleep, beautiful,” he whispered, brushing my hair behind my ear. I smiled as his hand left my shirt and wrapped around my body, and slowly fell asleep as his heart beat against my back.
