In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Tired

"You're staying right?" I mumbled into Matt's bare chest as I tried to cover myself up with my sheets I had on the bed. I knew the eagle was occupied this weekend and he wouldn't even know.

"I can stay yeah." Matt kissed my head through my hair. It felt really nice, even though we were both naked, to just lay next to each other and be alone for once, not have anyone after us.

"I love you." I whispered into his ear whilst turning to lay on my front.

"I love you too." He whispered back catching my mouth in a kiss before I laid down resting my head on his shoulder as he held me in his arms.

"If you're staying you don't mind if I just uh...nap." I said tiredly and muttering incoherently in his ear.

"Nap? It's only nine thirty Jen." Matt laughed stroking my hair away from face as my eyes fluttered open.

"Yes but I'm tired." I grunted.

"Okay well I need a snack, do you have anything?" He asked.

"In the living room." I pointed and instantly he started to move away. "No, no. Don't go." I hummed annoyed.

"Then wake up." He laughed moving away and I heard him leave the room and I turned over to fall back to sleep exhausted.

"Oh hey." Lily smirked seeing Matt come out in his shirt and doing up his jeans as he walked.

"God!" He said startled. "Sorry I didn't think you'd be here."

"It is my dorm." Lily responded feeling very stupid for even talking to him. This was embarrassing, she just found out her best friend and ex boyfriend were going at it in the other room and she'd been sat there the whole time.

"Sorry." He mumbled searching for a bag of crisps and then sitting down next to Lily while he ate them. "She's asleep."

"Worn her out?" Lily joked but it sounded stupid straight away.

"Lil." He frowned.

"This holiday thing is going to be great I know it." I smiled holding Matt's hand as we walked along the corridor.

"Even though I invited your ex?" He asked.

"Yes I'm over it. Where are your parents?" I said looking around the entire canteen seeing my dad in the corner sat down talking to a random parent.

"They're over there." Matt pointed. "Are you sure you want them to meet?"

"I'm sure, bring them over." I said going our separate ways as I went and sat next to Violet and smiled at Rachel and my dad who was still talking to a random parent.

"Oh there she is. Jenna, this is Hailey smiths dad we spoke yesterday." Dad said raised his eyebrows when the man could not see.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." I nodded at the man before turning away to play with Violet.

"Well I'd love you to meet my daughter." The dad said suddenly.

"Sure, tell her to get in touch. My room number is 504 knock anytime Except Friday evenings." I smiled at him while playing with Violet.

"Alright I tell her that." The dad. "It's been nice speaking to you, keep in touch." He said before walking away with his wife.

"Dad, Rachel, this is Matt's parents." I smiled as Matt came over and sat beside me. His parents opposite us. They all introduced themselves and it seemed to all be going quite well.

Matt's parents were lovely but they did some how manage to get on to the subject of our sex life. Just because I mentioned we were going away on Tuesday both parents jumped to the conclusion we'd be going at it like wild animals for a week just because we're sharing a bedroom.

And even if we were, they had no right to talk about it. I just laughed along and smiled.

Everyone left lunch knowing the ball was tonight and most parents went home to get ready for it. I didn't really want to go.

I felt a little sick at the idea of a party. I just wanted to lay down and sleep for a bit. I'd fallen asleep at 9:30 and then woken up so early I was tired for the rest of the day.

"Hey beautiful." Matt woke me up from my nap. I'd fallen asleep before we had to go out to make sure I was awake for the ball. I was dressed nicely but just asleep in my dress carefully.

"Hey." I smiled tapping his cheek as I woke a little bit.

"The ball has already started Jen. You slept through a lot of it." He whispered kneeling down beside the side of my bed.

"What?" I sat upright immediately. "Come on let's go." I yawned.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. Everyone said to leave you to sleep but I thought I'd give you the choice." Matt smiled sitting next to me on the bed.

"I want to go." I said quickly fixing my hair.

Matt and I were dressed very fancy and blended right in. We were dancing and it was romantic and lovely. My head rested in his chest just right and I closed my eyes as we swayed in time with the music.

When I opened my eyes and I pretty annoyed. "Oh god, that's Richards parents." I moaned looking at them suddenly coming towards us.

"Jenna." His mum said to me straight away and I fake a smile.

"Hi." I muttered.

"We're so glad that you've...moved on so quickly you must be feeling much better since we last saw you." She said quite harshly.

"The last time you saw her was the day her daughter died. I think anything is better than that feeling." Matt snapped as I went quiet.

"We're just glad you're happy now." His mum said cover her tracks.

"Well I bet you're glad, Molly comes from such a lovely rich family I suppose?" I grunted at them.

"Now that you mention it, she does. How wonderful." His dad suddenly said as they walked away making me want to hit them both.

"I swear if this place wasn't so packed I'd have hit them." I grunted.

"No you wouldn't." Matt laughed.

"Yes. I would." I snapped.
