Didn't your mother tell you it's rude to stare?

of homecomings and juices

Matt didn't come to the library that day or for the next three days either. I was beginning to miss his staring and bothering me. I'm not even gonna try to lie. Even Izzy felt that I was beginning to be miserable.

"See, I effectively drove him away." I mumbled at Izzy. We were at a coffeeshop downtown. She was having a latte while I enjoyed my fruit juice. She dragged me out of the library, when she saw me sigh and huff for the umpteenth time.

"I told you to text him already." she said.

"And what am I supposed to say? It was my fault I went cold turkey on him." I cried. "he hasn't texted either!" i added, gripping my juice. I feel like a complete idiot.

"i dont't know jenna..I don't have the answer to everything!" she snapped at me.

I stared into my cup. Even my friend has had with my debbie downer attitude.

"Sorry jenna, it's just that you keep shooting down all of my suggestions,I don't know why you keep asking me." She reached out across the table.

"it's okay izzy, I understand. I can be such a downer sometimes." I giggled.

she smiled. "well, if its any consolation, he probably misses staring at you too." she winked at me.

I took a sip of my juice and grinned at her. It somehow lifted my spirits thinking that maybe he misses me too.

------------------------

I was lounging on my couch that night, when i heard a banging on my door and my name being called out. I quickly stood up and raced to the door. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Matt stood there in a gorgeous dark blue three piece suit. A five o clock shadow covering his jaw. He looked tired, but sexy as hell.

We stood there looking at each other for what felt like an eternity.

"Matt.." i exhaled.

Suddenly he stormed through my doorway, causing me to back up. He reached for me and cupped my face with his hands. I stood frozen as he bent and touched our foreheads together. His dark brown eyes stared into mine. "God, you have no idea how much I missed you babe." He murmured and slowly brushed his nose against mine. I spontaneously combusted. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and kiss him, but we still needed to clear some things out.

I held his hands and moved my head back a bit from him. I smiled at him. " Well, I missed you stalking me too." I grinned. I saw his eyes brighten and he laughed his sexy laugh.

I stepped back and held one of his hands and dragged him to the living room, where he dropped on my couch and stretched out. "i'm beat." he stated and closed his eyes.

"where were you?" I venture quietly and bit my lip, hoping he wouldn't think i was prying.

He opened one eye and looked at me. "I must say, I'm liking this possessive air you're sporting" he grinned at me.

I blushed profusely and looked away.

"hmm..adorable.." he was looking at me now.

" I had to fly overseas with my father and fix things at one of the offices. Took a while to figure out the mess left by one of the head of the department, we were so busy, I couldnt even text you, i'm sorry. but we did fix it and I hopped on the next flight home and ran back to you."
