The Little Things ✔️

Fame

I walk through the hall to see Mat standing at the end of it with his arms outstretched. I don't think I could be in love with this guy anymore than I am. I run into his arms, he holds me tighter than ever before like he never wants to let me go, ever.
"Stay there." He says.
"And close your eyes." I close my eyes and I can hear him walk away into the lounge I guess. A few moments later I hear him shout to me to come in. I open my eyes and grab the handle of the lounge and when I open it up I'm surrounded by candles, flowers and music. And most importantly my gorgeous sweet as hell boyfriend. I get all emotional to think this guy that I met a few months ago has gone to all this effort for me. I look up to him tears brimming my eyes. I look across the floor to see a heart made out of candles and Mat stood in the middle of it. He plays the song Photograph.
"When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes. It's the only thing that makes us feel alive." He sings. He looks at me the way he did on the first day we met. The surprise and love and curiosity that he had and still does for me.
"So you can keep my inside the pocket of your ripped jeans holding me closer till our eyes meet, you will ever be alone." He sings bringing me this emotion that I've never experienced in my life. Mat has such a lovely voice that it makes me feel so in love with music that it drives me on to create this life I dream so deeply to have. I walk a little closer to the heart candles surrounding him. He's laid out all the reasons we have. All the funny little things we've found out about each other. All the things we've been through together. All the things he's helped me through. He's even updated it.
Reason 43: the time I missed you when you went to Germany.
All the little things he does for me are going to get us somewhere I can tell. He ends the song and by this point we are barely inches away. We both look up into each others souls, life's. I can see what he has seen. His hurt, his love. I hadn't even noticed that id stepped inside the love heart. I wrap my arms around him and pull him closer to my heart, where he belongs. Instead of kissing we are just happy looking into each other's eyes. I couldn't love someone more than I love mat. The silence we have is indescribable. I wish it could last forever. But the phone has to ruin it. My phone starts vibrating. Scared that it's Nat I take the call. Instead it's a venue asking for me and Mat to perform there tomorrow. After Mats concert last week we've had none stop publicity. People wanting to know about us our relationship wanting us. I love finally doing what I loved but with people all around us constantly asking things I think fame was getting to me. But for Mat it seemed to be fine. The one thing I didn't want to change was our relationship. It hadn't by far it hadn't. And damn I was happy about that. When I put the phone down Mat looks up at me.
"Are you sure your ok with this?" He says looking worried.
"I'm fine." I say sighing.
"I think fame is just getting to me." He laughs
"Doesn't it. But I promise nothing is going to change between us. That's why I did what I did tonight Al. I love you so that's why I told the world about you and I hope to keep you mine no matter what happens." He says pulling me into a hug. For the rest of the evening we sit in the candle shaped heart, flower petals and reasons. We sing while Mat plays the guitar. It's a perfect evening. Just me, him, love. No matter what fame brings it won't rip apart this relationship I have. Or so I thought
